7 SECTION C // COVER LETTER AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY September 23, 2015 Jane Hines, MMC, City Clerk City of Sunny Isles Beach 18070 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 REFERENCE: RFQ No. 15-08-02, Construction Management at Risk for Government Center Annex Dear Ms. Hines and Selection Committee: On behalf of The Weitz Company, thank you for the opportunity to present our qualifications for the upcoming Government Center Annex project. The Weitz Company has been providing CM at Risk Services in South Florida for 37 years and our team has the experience necessary to successfully complete this project. After reviewing our submittal, you will see that our qualifications align well with the needs of the City. Overviews of our specific abilities are presented below for your consideration. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Weitz is proud to have been the City’s Construction Manager at Risk for your existing Government Cen- ter, which we completed three months ahead of schedule in 2005. Weitz Superintendent Don Priem has been serving as your Owner’s Representative on the Gateway Park project since May 2014. Through these projects, we have gained a large amount of logistical experience working in the City’s restricted spaces. We have also become familiar with your building systems, permitting processes, and current operations. Beyond that experience, the Weitz portfolio includes educational spaces (both K-12 and higher education), govern- ment and municipal facilities, community buildings, and mixed-used projects featuring commercial space. PROFESSIONAL CAPABILITIES Having Weitz on your team, the City is assured that there will be no learning curve when it comes to the ability to provide construction services for the Government Center Annex. We are again proposing Don Priem as Superintendent. Project Manager will be Mark Iacobucci, a veteran PM whose resume includes a $50 million, 2-story high school and a $98 million university academic building. Mark is currently our PM on the $25.9 million redevelopment of Riviera Beach’s marina, which includes a 28,000 SF community center called the Marina Events Center (see right). He will be finished with this as- signment in time to work on your project. Peter Jakubiec will be your Project Executive, working with Mark, Don, and Chief Estimator Gary Hennings to provide preconstruction services, including integration with and support of the Architect. Weitz considers it critical to consult with the Owner and Architect during project development, 1214 S. ANDREWS AVE., SUITE 302 / FT.
