47THE WEITZ COMPANY // GOVERNMENT CENTER ANNEX, RFQ NO. 15-08-02 / CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL SECTION K // PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES BUILDING SYSTEMS OPTIONS AND ANALYSIS Our first priority is to collaborate with you on the establishment of common goals and milestones in order to arrive at mutually agreed upon requirements and expectations. During this initial consultation, and throughout the entire preconstruction and construction process, we will listen to your needs and recommend construction approach and requirements for various aspects of the project. Prior to putting a pencil to the paper, we will identify and discuss building system options and alternates in conjunction with specific project requirements. We will assist with the evaluation of material and equipment life cycles, and submit recommendations for Team approval. We will also review the market trends to identify potential issues that may affect the cost and schedule. Our evaluations will speak to the benefits of the speed of erection and early completion of the project. Leading the team through this process will be Chief Estimator Gary Hennings, who is considered the backbone of our pre-construction services. In the 39 years Gary has worked for Weitz, he has gained valuable experience with virtually every building system, the cost of those systems, and the benefits and trade-offs of each. He will be a valuable asset for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. DESIGN REVIEWS Once a building system is chosen, we will work closely with the design team in their preparation of schematic, design development, and construction documents. By doing this, we will ensure the design is completed in such a way that it maximizes quality, minimizes cost, and optimizes the construction duration. As design progresses, we will review, in detail, the drawings and specifications for construction sequencing, detail feasibility, and schedule/ cost effectiveness. Scope of work checklists will be prepared to monitor the process in a checks-and-balances format. BUDGET AND DETAIL ESTIMATING Analogous Preliminary Estimates Our Estimating Department is proficient at preparing initial estimates from preliminary concept sketches. We will compare the specifics of your project with those of similar past projects. These comparisons will be made at various stages of design, most commonly at the schematic, design/development, and construction document phases. The information gathered will be organized and presented to the Project Team in a “Closure Document” that will contain all of the details relevant to the project’s After 39 years with The Weitz Company, Chief Estimator Gary Hennings has developed cost summaries on virtually every building system.
