18 City of Sunny Isles Beach New Facility Qualifications for Architectural Design Services <br />4.PHASE 4: DOCUMENTATION + BIDDING <br />Preparing the Design to be Constructed <br />Close attention to quality and detail characterizes Perkins+Will philosophy on the documentation and bidding <br />phases of a project. <br />Construction Documentation <br />Upon approval of the design development document phase, and based on the selected alternative system <br />studies, the design team prepares complete construction documents. The construction documents consist of <br />contract drawings, specifications, general conditions, instructions to bidders, and other necessary documents. <br />The team also assists the owner in filing the required documents for approval of municipal authorities having <br />jurisdiction over the project. <br />Bidding <br />After construction documents are made available to bidders, the design team responds to requests for informa- <br />tion and prepares and issues and addenda that may be required. <br />The design team will assist in the evaluation of bids. Determination of a bidder’s qualification usually proceeds <br />on two levels. From an objective standpoint, information can be gathered reflecting the contractor’s previous <br />experience, financial stability, equipment ownership, organization, etc. by requiring submission of qualification <br />statements (such as AIA Document A305). Equally important, is an assessment of the contractor’s workman- <br />ship, efficiency, responsiveness, and other more subjective attributes. We have worked with many construction <br />managers, general contractors, and subcontractors, and bring that experience to the table when qualifications <br />are reviewed.
