<br />4.7 Scheduling Methodology in Action
<br />SGM's schedule method is built around the constraint that can stop the work, not just the design-
<br />production duration. These examples demonstrate how field conditions, ongoing operations, and multi-
<br />system interfaces are incorporated into the plan.
<br />Critical operations and emergency power
<br />At Marion County Public Schools' Northwest Transportation Compound, the primary bus maintenance,
<br />fueling, and transportation communications functions had to remain available during severe-weather
<br />and outage conditions. SGM verified existing loads, coordinated the owner-furnished 300 kW generator
<br />and 800A service-rated ATS, defined distribution modifications, and provided for future expansion. Aligning
<br />equipment, existing-service interfaces, and operational continuity in the design work plan supported
<br />completion in the planned 2023 period at the documented $350,000 cost.
<br />CONCURRENT SYSTEMS IN AN OCCUPIED FACILITY
<br />The OCPS Glenridge Middle School renewal combined lighting, fire alarm, intercom, VFD electrical
<br />connections, BAS/power infrastructure, and major mechanical systems. SGM's milestone coordination
<br />and interdisciplinary reviews kept system interfaces visible as the documents advanced. The project
<br />records report the planned and actual completion in 2024 and no variance between the $4.9 million
<br />budget/estimate and actual cost.
<br />CRITICAL ELECTRICAL-SERVICE REPLACEMENT
<br />At SBBC Ely High School, SGM supported replacement of the two-section, 3,000A main switchgear through
<br />field verification, construction documents, and construction administration. This same sequence - verify
<br />before design, identify cutover and operating constraints, coordinate procurement, and maintain CA
<br />continuity - will be applied to Sunny Isles Beach facility replacements. The reported project met its 2021
<br />completion and $250,000 cost targets.
<br />Relevance to Sunny Isles Beach Street and sports-field lighting, generators, switchgear, facility electrical
<br />renovations, and security/technology upgrades can be schedule-driven by utilities, public use, special
<br />events, outages, and long-lead equipment. SGM places those constraints on the baseline schedule at
<br />kickoff and assigns an owner to each one.
<br />4.8 Quality Assurance / Quality Control
<br />Quality is scheduled as work, assigned to named reviewers, and evidenced by records. SGM's QA/QC
<br />process begins with a project-specific quality plan and ends only when comments are closed and the
<br />EOR authorizes release. The producer performs a self-check; the discipline lead performs a technical
<br />check; Mark Escott provides independent peer review; and Justin Mundell verifies that scope, budget,
<br />schedule, and City comments are resolved.
