AECOM shall provide displays to convey design alternatives, schedules, and costs. AECOM shall conduct working group meetings with the Client staff on a regular basis. Permitting Process The AECOM Team recognizes the importance of expediting the permit approval process. Therefore, our team includes members who are both familiar with and capable of fast-tracking the permit process in South Florida and able to Identify Regulatory/ Permitting Requirements. We will contact regulatory agencies during the preliminary engineering phase of the project, attend pre-application meetings to elicit agencies’ concerns, permitting constraints and required approvals/permits for the project. Construction Engineering Inspection Services The AECOM Team expertise regarding construction inspection services can ensure quality and efficient implementation conforming to the final construction documents and environmental permits and agreements. These services may include conducting a preconstruction meeting; issuance of a conformed set of drawings including the incorporation of addenda and permitting requirements; review of contractor submittals and Requests for Information (RFIs); review of shop drawings (as required) for any components related to the proposed design and issuing architect’s/engineer’s supplemental instructions (ASIs); conducting preconstruction staking and field- marking for earthwork activities and design element location; evaluating and selecting plant materials at nurseries before delivery to a project site; conducting observations of hardscape, landscape, drainage, water & sewer, utility, site furniture, lighting and irrigation system installation and construction while noting any non-conformance with the contract documents which require remedy. In addition, we will review contractor pay applications; issue field orders and change orders as necessary to document changes in the contract documents, conduct preliminary and final punch lists and help facilitate final acceptance of construction. AECOM Quality Management System - (QMS) Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) has been one of the keys to AECOM’s success. In North America, AECOM uses a Quality Management System (QMS) based upon well-honed practices that are ISO 9001 (2008) compliant and employed by all of our business lines. This means the following: • We follow requirements designed to consistently meet client needs and applicable regulatory requirements and enhance client satisfaction. • We monitor our conformance to these requirements via annual internal quality audits and ongoing reviews or surveillances. • External quality auditors also monitor our performance. • We take quality very seriously. Sustainable Design Initiatives Recognizing that it is incumbent upon Governmental agencies to be supportive of sustainable design initiatives, we would like to support the City in the design and development of a public / civic building that goes beyond normal Energy Conservation and Sustainable Design standards to incorporates state- of-the-art sustainable design building features including LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design)-approved MEP Systems, recycled building materials, passive solar design techniques, maximum use of natural light, xeriscaping and other design measures as an example of how buildings should be sustainably developed. AECOM offers the City of Coral Springs LEED Certified Professionals with whom to potentially accomplish this goal. Section D Sunny Isles Beach City Manager, Chris Russo on AECOM “AECOM’s staff was highly involved, very professional through every phase of the project from design to construction plus the staff took great care to ensure that the City’s goals for the project were met.” - Chris Russo 9
