10 The Project Manager for your proposed project, in this case, a Principal of the Firm, is personally responsible for Quality and Cost Control. She will lead the project from inception through certificate of completion, maintaining continuity and cohesiveness between the City of Sunny Isles Beach, our Staff, our Consulting Engineers, the selected Contractor and their sub-contractors and ultimately will be responsible for project execution. This commitment to constant leadership promotes efficiency and delivers quality projects on time that are precisely responsive to the City’s requirements. Merrill Romanik, AIA, LEED AP is a Principal at Synalovski Romanik Saye, LLC. As an intern, she helped to launch the firm’s Interior Design Studio, which she now manages alongside her architectural duties. In addition to her Architectural degrees, Merrill holds a Master’s degree in Building Construction creating an informed and comprehensive understanding of the entire building process. With over 23 years experience in both architecture and interiors, Merrill contributes her integrated approach to the SRS Team. She has significant experience in retail, hospitality, corporate interiors, academic and municipal project types and her public sector experience has always proven to be an asset to her private sector clients. In the past, we have been extremely successful in properly planning and scheduling our own resources and that of our consultants. As necessary, as we have done in the past, we may limit our commitments to other clients and focus specifically on the goals of The City. Given the opportunity, we have no hesitation to limit all our work to those projects assigned to us by The City of Sunny Isles Beach and thus assure your success. Aggressive control of schedules and budgets has been one of the key factors in our Firm’s growth and success. Especially in the case of Fire Facility projects, the project budget simply cannot be exceeded. Similarly, the project schedule must be coordinated with the City of Sunny Isles Beach schedule, to ensure that we allow for sufficient time to move in. We maintain strict controls and enforce the team’s awareness of the need to stay within budget and schedule throughout the entire design and construction process. We will also provide assistance to The City in helping to set a budget that is reasonable and attainable. At the start of the project we typically conduct a ‘value determination’ meeting, at which the City Team, CMAR and Designers jointly set forth the requirements and expectations for each element of the project. The goal is to establish a common understanding of project quality and budget at the very beginning, before we begin design. Then, as the project proceeds, the following principles guide the team to be sure that the City’s goals are met when the project opens and for many years to come. Together with the budget, aggressive management of the project schedule is essential—not only so that city employees can be accommodated, but also so that incremental costs associated with delays can be minimized. Initial meetings will present the normal process of project delivery and what is to be expected of each of the participants—architects, engineers, and City Team. The proposed construction schedule will be developed jointly and key deadlines will be assigned to each of the participants. This will ensure consistently knowledgeable and timely response, and help to keep the project on schedule. The design process will consist of a milestone schedule organized by phase – Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents. Each phase will contain a series of target dates that establish specific responsibilities for each party. The schedule will also designate weekly in-house team meetings for coordination of design and technical issues as well as a review of the target dates. We will also include monthly meetings with the owner’s designated representative, reviewing all aspects of the project for further dissemination to board members and administrators.
