<br />[Ooh APPROACH /METHODOLOGY
<br />AECOM
<br />Our team is committed to coordinating with, listening to, and responding to your needs.
<br />Understanding
<br />One of the things that differentiates AECOM is our
<br />collaborative approach to design. A trusted partner
<br />to our clients, we draw together teams of Planners,
<br />Architects, Engineers, Landscape Architects, Interior
<br />Designers, Environmental Specialists, Economists
<br />and Scientists, all within AECOM and dedicated to
<br />finding the most innovative and appropriate solutions
<br />improving the quality of life of a community's
<br />citizenry.
<br />The AECOM team is experienced in leading multi-
<br />disciplinary teams for our projects and enjoys the
<br />collaborative and dynamic environment of such
<br />work. To successfully execute complex projects with
<br />numerous stakeholders, technical complexities and
<br />economic challenges, we have developed a proven
<br />approach that consistently yields successful results
<br />Whether the project is the detail design of an urban
<br />streetscape, the creation of a new land development
<br />code, or the design of a pumping station, the AECOM
<br />team can accomplish the task.
<br />The AECOM proposed team offers combined
<br />resources and experts in Planning / Urban Design,
<br />Drainage/ Stormwater Engineering, Landscape
<br />Architecture, Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering
<br />& Analysis, Environmental Services, Infrastructure
<br />improvements, CEI Inspection Services.
<br />We will work within the framework of the City of Sunny
<br />Isles Beach's protocols and policies to make sure
<br />projects are completed properly. Beginning with the
<br />City's request for assistance with a project or task,
<br />we will coordinate a project review session to reach
<br />a clear understanding of the expectations of the
<br />assignment.
<br />From the wide variety of project types that may be
<br />necessary for this contract, we will tailor a project
<br />approach to meet the requirements of any work order.
<br />Generally, the tasks that will likely be encountered
<br />on this project fall into either a planning or an
<br />engineering discipline. The following two approaches
<br />will be customized to meet the needs of the city.
<br />Architecture /Landscape Architecture
<br />Each project assignment under this contract will have
<br />unique requirements of functional design, budget,
<br />site opportunities and constraints, architectural
<br />context, user needs, and community and stakeholder
<br />expectations. Each assignment will be designed
<br />and implemented in accordance with not just the
<br />landscape, tree protection, and other regulatory and
<br />environmental requirements of the City, County, and
<br />applicable state and federal agencies, but with a best
<br />practice approach that emphasizes cost - effective
<br />design, ease of constructability and maintenance, and
<br />environmental sustainability.
<br />Appropriate and thoughtful utilization of the latest
<br />information on trends in the design and construction
<br />industry are all key elements of this approach. We
<br />recognize that each project is unique; we do not
<br />believe in or provide any boilerplate solutions.
<br />Further, we recognize that City staff are key players
<br />of the team in any City project, and we look forward to
<br />an effective and rewarding collaboration with your in-
<br />house managers and design professionals. Finally, we
<br />will approach each assignment with a keen interest
<br />in the community's expressed desires for the project.
<br />We will work with local Stakeholders and City staff to
<br />effectively solicit, respond to, and incorporate public
<br />input, as appropriate for each type of project.
<br />City of Sunny Isles Beach staff can attest to the
<br />responsive service they've received from AECOM on
<br />various projects over the past 12 years. The process
<br />we use to handle the City's tasks include the following
<br />steps:
<br />Task 1: Project Initiation — Scoping Meeting
<br />Upon notification to proceed, the Project Director
<br />and /or Project Manager will meet with the City staff
<br />to review the proposed scope of work, project design
<br />objectives, schedule and budget requirements,
<br />and any other special requirements (such as grant
<br />funding conditions). We will review available site
<br />and background data received, as appropriate to the
<br />project, in advance of the meeting, and will identify
<br />with staff any additional information necessary for
<br />
