L' �I L L L R C C Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 14 -07-02 Section 1: Qualifications Landscape Architecture In close coordination with the City, final Construction Documents will be prepared with submittals at 30 %, 60 %, 90% & 100% completion. Our quality control team will review and validate the finished product with a high level of technical performance. Recognizing the critical importance of cost manage- ment when budgets are tight, ORDA will commence cost control procedures immediately upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed on a particular project. The techniques to be utilized by the team for cost control include: Program and Budget Review; A detailed review of the program and budget will be conducted to en- sure validity and compatibility. Cost Trending: A careful charting of the on -going estimates will be performed to evaluate a direction that might be developing as the project progresses. Complete and Detailed Documents: Attention will be directed to complete, coordinated construction documents in order to ensure tight bids and fewer change orders; the result will be cost control. Cost estimate development and updates at the various stages will include quantification of all major pro- ject elements, even at the earliest stages of plan development. Review of recent similar project cost his- tory, subcontractor and supplier input at the design development stages are indispensable and will be a major contributor to the accuracy of early budgeting as well as a key element in assisting with material considerations in regards to cost and scheduling for that particular project. Progress estimates are pre- pared from completed drawings to validate the budget or indicate if design cost exceeds budget parame- ters. O'Leary Richards Design has extensive experience in working with regulatory agencies and is familiar with the permitting process within Miami -Dade County as well as the State of Florida Dept. of Transpor- tation. Kathy O'Leary Richards and Bill O'Leary have been plan reviewers for FDOT as well as other mu- nicipalities for numerous years and are well versed with the permitting process and procedures. ORDA works closely with regulatory agencies during the initial stages of the project to define all applicable reg- ulatory requirements. Additionally, ORDA will submit documents for review at appropriate stages of the design effort to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and facilitate the permitting process. Once final documents have been reviewed, approved and permitted, the team will then assist the City in the bidding and contract negotiation phase followed by construction administration. The team is respon- sible for the comprehensive and timely administration of all project documentation. The team will make periodic visits to the site, record observations and report to the City all observations related to the status of completion, quality of workmanship and compliance with the Contract Documents. The team has the ability to meet desired timelines and deadlines as evidenced in past performance. As evidenced in this proposal, the ORDA team specializes in public sector projects and is eminently qualified to serve the needs of the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
