4. APPROACH / METHODOLOGY West Construction, Inc. 820 North 4th Street, Lantana, Florida 33462 Phone: 561-588-2027 / Fax: 561-582-9419 Contractor’s License: CGC1516626 www.westconstructioninc.net West Construction, Inc. will perform the required tasks in house with the exception of the scope of work listed on the subcontractors list. All other works will be performed with our in house tradesmen. The project will be managed with an assigned project manager and a full time superintendent. Weekly meetings will be held to keep the City informed of progress and any issues that need attention. West has an unused capacity of around 60% currently and has ample human, financial, equipment, and supplier resources to provide all the requirements under this RFP. West will utilize P-6 to control the schedule. In addition, West uses a web based project management software system that allows our customers to log in and check the status of submittals, RFI’s, Change Orders, Invoices, Safety, Punch lists, etc. We believe the implementation of this system has changed our industry and it saves time and money in the project delivery process. West has won several awards over the years, in the area of historic preservation, as well as several Build Florida Awards. West was also selected as builder of the year by the Palm Beach County Chapter of the AIA a some years ago. By making quality assurance the responsibility of each member of our project staff, West ensures it is an integral part of every step of the process, from initial plan review to project closeout. West’s program for the City of Sunny Isles Beach project will be a project -specific document containing four phases: verifying accuracy, ensuring quality, correcting non-complying work, preventing deficiencies. The following is an overview of our approach to quality control and how each individual plays a part. VERIFY ACCURACY Our process will include, trade contractor scope review, shop drawing review, pre-installation meetings, and post-installation acceptance criteria review. These decisions determine wheth- er items meet the defined standard or if additional work is necessary for compliance with these requirements. The Project Manager is responsible for maintaining all current drawings and specifications. Revised contract drawings, sketches issued through the architect and answers to RFI’s are examples of documents inserted into the field and record sets to insure we are working with the most recent information. The Project Manager is also responsible for providing the super- intendent with the latest revisions of approved shop drawings and seeing to it that unapproved shop drawings are not used in the field. All superseded documents are marked void within the set and left there. ENSURING QUALITY It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that, prior to placing any purchase order, the proposed materials and equipment meet or exceed the requirements of the design concept and the contract documents. Any proposed deviation must be approved by the City prior to placing the order. The Project Manager and Superintendent will review all submittals for compliance with contract documents. If they don’t comply, they are returned to the vendor. The Project Manager will ensure the submittal is checked for completeness to facilitate the reviewer’s task.
