THE WEITZ COMPANY // GOVERNMENT CENTER ANNEX, RFQ NO. 15-08-02 / CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL 8 SECTION C // COVER LETTER AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY as it sets the stage for a successful project later on. We will work hand-in-hard with the Architect to provide pre-construc- tion advice, constructability reviews, and value engineering to find the best way to construct your new facility. In addition to helping define the building system and providing cost estimates at various stages of design, our team will coordinate the preparation and submission of all required Federal, State, County, and Local approvals and permits. We have experi- ence with all permitting jurisdictions listed in the Request for Qualifications (DOT, DEP, MDC-DERM, MDC-Fire, USACOE, and both the City of Sunny Isles Beach Zoning and Building departments). ZERO-SETBACK EXPERTISE Weitz has extensive experience building at or very near prop- erty lines, which will be a direct benefit on the Annex project. We prepared for construction of the original Government Center with a logistics plan that enabled us to work within the narrow confines of your civic center site; construction of the Annex will require similar preparation. At our ongoing Miami Dade College parking structure project, we have coordinated the design and foundations so that we are able to construct their multi-story building within 11 inches of the property line using special shoring and pre-finished architectural precast components. This precast work is also reducing traffic impacts and improving pedestrian safety. ON SCHEDULE AND WITHIN BUDGET The Weitz Company consistently achieves on- time, on-budget results while delivering the quality our clients expect (see table, right). A good example of this was the Wellington City Hall project. Weitz developed detailed schedules in conjunction with our subcontrac- tors and the client during pre-construction. To set the expectations for the project and ensure buy-in and accountability on the part of the subcontractor, the durations for critical schedule activities were negotiated with each sub and included as a part of their subcontract. Through- out the project, schedules were updated weekly and reviewed with the project team to ensure adherence to the critical path. Three-week look- ahead schedules were reviewed each week in the subcontractor meeting. Any situations that would result in a potential impact to the critical path were addressed through planning sessions with the parties involved immediately after the subcontractor meeting. The results, in terms of time, cost, and quality, speak for themselves. Weitz completed the job 14 days ahead of schedule, within budget, and to the total satisfaction of the City of Wellington. We even helped them achieve LEED Gold certification; their original goal had been LEED Silver. Concrete pour on parking deck of Sunny Isles Beach Government Center, June 2004.
