<br />Management Capabilities
<br />CGA understands that excellent project management skills are the cornerstone to any successful project. Prior to commencement
<br />and through the life of the contract, the CGA Project Manager will be in regular communication with the appointed representative
<br />for the City regarding project status and progress. All communication between the CGA Team and City Staff will occur through the
<br />CGA Project Manager.
<br />The CGA Team will be led by Jenna Martinetti, PE, who has over 22 years of engineering experience in Florida and will be the central
<br />coordinator for all the activities of this contract. Depending on the type of project request, Ms. Martinetti will assign the project to
<br />the respective disciplines’ team leader.
<br />CGA’s general approach to the design, development, and construction of related projects are outlined below. Variations will occur, depending
<br />on the requirements of a particular authorization.
<br />Project Scoping
<br />Upon receiving notification of a project, CGA’s Project Manager will meet with the City’s Project Manager to confirm the project
<br />scope, schedule, budget, and other requirements. The Project Manager will brief the CGA Team and begin to prepare the project
<br />scoping requirements. Due diligence will be performed before preparing a draft authorization for the City’s review and concurrence.
<br />Due diligence may include, but will not be limited to, conducting a project site visit, reviewing the record/back-up documents of the
<br />project, and researching permit documents.
<br />Authorization
<br />Once the project scope and concept documents have been agreed upon, we will then prepare authorization documents. These
<br />documents will include but are not limited to a description of the project, a project location map, the scope of services to be
<br />performed, a schedule of professional fees, and an engineer’s preliminary opinion of probable cost.
<br />Project Commencement / Kick-off Meeting
<br />All approved work orders will begin with a Project Kickoff Meeting, during which the CGA Project Manager will meet with the
<br />appropriate City staff. The Project Manager will then meet with the project team at the internal Kickoff Meeting.
<br />The Team will be introduced to the scope, budget, and timeline, and the Project Manager will define the various elements of the
<br />project and the QA/QC requirements at this meeting. The overall project schedule will be developed and confirmed with the team
<br />members. The Project Manager will regularly review the status of the project to ensure that the CGA Team is meeting the project’s
<br />schedule and budgetary requirements as initially defined and will update the City of the project’s ongoing progress.
<br />Fieldwork & Data Collection
<br />For authorizations involving the analysis of existing conditions, the design of proposed improvements, or management of ongoing
<br />work, CGA will perform a site field review. CGA will perform a site field review. Depending on the nature of the authorization, this
<br />may include observations of the site, traffic data collection, topographical survey, environmental assessment, and/or a survey of
<br />existing structures.
<br />Utility Coordination
<br />For any authorization that involves design, review, or project management of proposed improvements, CGA will coordinate with the
<br />various utility and subconsultant companies to determine the location of existing and future planned utilities. In certain projects,
<br />this will also include ground penetrating radar (GPR) and vacuum excavation of existing utilities (soft digs) for resolution of
<br />potential conflicts with proposed improvements. This data will be included on any right-of-way and design survey and will be used
<br />throughout the design, review, and project management process.
<br />Stakeholder Input
<br />Depending on the specific project type, it may be desirable to engage and include stakeholder input early in the process to obtain
<br />buy-in from those individuals most impacted by the project. This is particularly true of Planning projects, but applies to all possible
<br />projects. Construction projects, roadway projects, park improvement, and stormwater projects all require stakeholder input for
<br />smooth operation and execution. Schematics, aerial images, and renderings allow for input on the plan to meet the needs and
<br />requests made by stakeholders.
