AECOM RFQ No. 15-04-01 by Owners, peer groups and industry. Scott has participated on various Municipal Complexes. Scott will lead the design team’s efforts and be primarily responsible for the overall “image” of the new Municipal Complex. The Principal-in-Charge, Agustin Barrera, will be the individual ultimately responsible for the project. Mr. Barrera will be involved with both the client and members of the Project Team. He will participate in key project meetings and provide the leadership and direction necessary to ensure the project schedule is met. Our Project Manager, Nina Gladstone will work very closely with the entire team on a daily basis. Ms. Gladstone, Mr. Tao and Mr. Barrera have all worked together as a unit on several Municipal projects in the past and represent a core team with proven chemistry that is both knowledgeable and experienced in this unique building type. Resumes detailing the relevant experience of these three individuals, along with the resumes of the other members of our Project Team can be found in Section 02, Firm and Team Qualifications. Project Schedule Through discussions with you, a master activity list and project schedule will be prepared using Microsoft Project and included in the Project Management Plan. The master activity list will include the major activities needed to complete the project. Each activity will include a task identification number, description, and estimated duration. Activities with dependent predecessors will be noted in the schedule. The schedule will be updated each month to show progress to date. Key project milestones such as project meetings and technical deliverables will be included. Once a project schedule is developed and agreed to, the project manager is responsible for monitoring progress and keeping it on schedule. Schedule control is largely a function of task planning and monitoring; and the elimination of surprises that can cause delays. Effective schedule management therefore addresses such issues as: • Identification of the work’s critical path, and constant monitoring of the progress of those items on that critical path. • Maintenance of a dedicated project team with member continuity, promoting a highly focused (and therefore time-efficient) design effort. • Early identification of permitting requirements, and a proactive approach to regulatory agencies. • Pre-application meetings are recommended to establish rapport with regulatory agencies representatives and gain thorough understanding of the permit requirements. • Frequent and clear communication with you as the client, to ensure our understanding of your needs and preferences, in order to avert schedule-busting rework at the end of the project. Cost Control AECOM’s practice of implementing effective cost control begins with a thorough understanding of the goals of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. On all AECOM projects, our work is carefully budgeted and all project budgets are carefully reviewed weekly by project managers and monthly by senior managers. Again, once a project schedule and budget is agreed to, the project manager, under the principal in charge’s direction is responsible for monitoring progress and keeping it within budget. A computerized project management system (PMS) will be used by AECOM to monitor the project. The PMS allows the project to be broken down into multiple tasks and subtasks, as needed. Project information and budgets for each task will be entered into the PMS. This allows the financial accounting system to track the project and provides information for accurate invoices At any time during the course of the project, a wide variety of project management reports containing cost to date and billable data can be obtained. The PMS enables AECOM to monitor the status of particular activities and make well informed decisions. AECOM will forecast the hours and dollars remaining to complete each work order on monthly basis. The forecasts are used for calculating the total cost of each work order at completion. The monthly forecasts are a valuable tool for discovering problems early so that correction action can be taken. The billing system is linked to the PMS so that customer billings for labor and expenses coincide with project costs. The billing system will provide complete, accurate information on billable cost to date including accounts receivable and unbilled services. The system allows for production of both standardized and customized invoices, as well as back-up reports, quickly and easily. Section D 8
