APProACH / MetHoDoLoGy 78P261925RFQ # 26-07-01 • CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) <br /> ‚Effective coordination is essential to ensure that <br />Sunny Isles Beach will have the information needed <br />to address project-related issues in an efficient and <br />timely manner. Through the coordination effort, <br />Moffatt & Nichol’s Contract Manager will keep Sunny <br />Isles Beach staff fully informed on the status of each <br />work assignment and where decisions by Sunny <br />Isles Beach or other agencies are required. In such <br />instances, e-mail or hardcopy correspondence and <br />verbal communication will be directed to Sunny Isles <br />Beach, along with the required response dates. <br />Moffatt & Nichol will initiate the process of updating <br />and advancing progress to minimize the risk of <br />anyone missing appointed responsibilities.  <br />Approach to Schedule Control:  <br />Our goal is to establish a project schedule for <br />each task that will provide the highest quality <br />design plans while minimizing the review effort <br />required by the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br />We believe that by listening to the City’s ideas and <br />concerns in the early stages of a project and ensuring <br />regular communication, we can submit focused <br />reports and plans which address all relevant issues. <br />Our approach to the project process and our project <br />management plan is key to the success of fast-tracked <br />and challenging projects. Scheduling will be performed <br />utilizing MS Project; however, the Moffatt & Nichol <br />Team will utilize whatever software tools are preferred <br />by the City. As with the other elements of project <br />management, the level of detail in the task schedules <br />will be dictated by the kind of tasks.   <br />Approach to Project Quality Control:  <br />Moffatt & Nichol will be working as an extension <br />of the City of Sunny Isles Beach staff; therefore, <br />it is essential that City’s personnel have <br />confidence in the quality of our work. Moffatt & Nichol is <br />committed to producing quality work products that are <br />both safe for the public and free of errors that may lead <br />to construction claims. <br />This commitment demands that <br />our work products go through a <br />rigorous QC process. Moffatt & <br />Nichol’s Quality Management <br />System is certified to ISO <br />9001:2015 and the east coast offices operate <br />within this certified QMS. This certification confirms <br />that our Quality Management System has been <br />independently assessed and found to conform to <br />the international standard for quality management <br />providing city of Sunny Isles Beach with verified <br />assurance that our processes for delivering <br />consistent, conforming work are in place, audited, <br />and continually improved. Our project managers <br />are responsible for making sure that documentation <br />verifying adherence to the project’s QC/QA Plan is <br />kept in the project files. In addition, we perform our <br />own internal audits of randomly chosen projects to <br />verify that the quality procedures are followed by <br />trained personnel. Keeping with this ISO certification, <br />Moffatt & Nichol has developed a QC procedure that <br />all projects follow. This is a systematic process that <br />every work product undergoes prior to submission <br />to the client. Reviews are always performed by <br />experienced engineers who were not actively <br />involved in the preparation of the deliverable. The <br />Moffatt & Nichol quality process does not end with <br />the QA/QC of project deliverables. It continues with <br />interdisciplinary, constructability and biddability <br />reviews which are critical components of the <br />design QC process. These additional reviews aid in <br />limiting the risk of construction claims due to plan <br />component inconsistencies, impractical details, or <br />ambiguous plan notes. Full participation in the Owner <br />Engineer Contractor regular meetings is essential to <br />time and budget for the project construction.  <br />ISO 9001 Certified Review Process: <br />SteP1 <br />1. reADy For revIeW <br />originator/Lead technical Professional <br />2. revIeW <br />Independent reviewer <br />SteP2 SteP3 SteP4 SteP5 <br />Moffatt & Nichol is ISO 9001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to quality.
