ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING PLANNING INTERIOR DESIGN CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO. 15-04-01 NEW FACILITY AT 18080 COLLINS AVE.10 identify potential problems, work out solutions and continue the exchange of project information. Addi- tional meetings with governing agencies, utility com- panies, adjacent landowners and the general public to develop consensus with all affected parties will be scheduled as necessary. Design Approach and Alternative Analysis of Plans and Specifications Each phase will have specific goals, deliverables, and milestones with steady consultation and interaction between our firm and the city. Information, questions, responses, sketches and drawings will be made read- ily available to the city. During the initial conceptual and schematic design phases of the project, we cus- tomarily like to perform “charettes” with the owner’s selected project representatives. This method pro- duces the most dialogue and results in significant time reduction. It is also an effective tool in encourag- ing staff involvement and in empowering them in the design process. Cost Estimating Recognizing the critical impor- tance of cost management when budgets are tight, WA will commence cost con- trol procedures immedi- ately upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed on the project. The techniques to be utilized by the team for cost con- trol include, but are not limited to: • Program and Budget Review: A detailed review of the program and budget will be conducted to ensure validity and compatibility. • Systems Budgeting and Estimating: All budget estimating will be divided into subsystem com- ponents to allow for identification and control of specific problem areas. • Cost Trending: A careful charting of the on-going estimates will be performed to evaluate a direc- tion that might be developing as the project pro- gresses.
