Our team will also work with the City of Sunny Isles Beach on providing a summary of potential alternates with cost estimates during preconstruction. The alternate summary list will provides the client menu options to implement certain materials and/or systems into the project if they so choose. To avoid re-design, MCM commits to partnering with the A/E of Record to provide pricing analysis for major modifications or proposed changes occurring between design phases. Progress will be reviewed bi- weekly throughout the design development process and will also be coordinated appropriately with the City. All constructability comments and/or design changes with cost estimates will be listed in a matrix for tracking and implementation purposes. The matrix will be used as a checklist to ensure each line item’s incorporation into the contract documents. VALUE ENGINEERING MCM’s value engineering methodology is based on our objective to seek out the best value for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. This objective is achieved by identifying alternatives during the design development phase and measuring them against the value of the objectives; in turn recommending and assisting the City and the A/E of Record in selecting the best solutions for the project. Estimating or predicting cost and then controlling cost within the limits of the budget is an essential factor to the success of this project. However, MCM does not use value engineering merely as a cost-cutting mechanism, but as the tool to provide the best balance between cost, scope and performance. MCM’s approach to value engineering is an assurance to the City’s investment. To support this process MCM consults with specialty contractors and fabricators who offer input from the conception of the design. By tapping into the wealth of expertise from MCM’s base of prequalified subcontractors, we are able to provide a more cost effective product prior to the completion of the contract drawings. This provides the team with the ability to control and avoid late value engineering and consequently, changes after the design is finished. This translates into quality assurance, time savings and cost effectiveness. CONSTRUCTABILITY ANALYSIS Our Team members will remain in constant contact throughout the development of design documents. As the design progresses from its conceptual phase on through to the final permit documents, our Team will maintain open channels for communication, and at every step of the design’s development, we will make certain that the Miami Dade Aviation Departments specific project requirements are comprehensively addressed throughout. The Risk Management Plan will be one of the foundation documents for this review, along with regular review sessions of construction system assemblies and material compatibilities. Our personnel will analyze the compatibility, quality, availability, and warranty periods VALUE ENGINEERING EXAMPLE Miramar Readiness Center – This 102,000 SF facility is being constructed in Miramar, FL for the Florida Department of Military Affairs (DMA) to support training and readiness of the local Army National Guard units serving the region. One of the unique aspects of MCM’s involvement on this project, was the firm’s ability to value engineer portions of the design at the Owner’s request, which was required as a result of a disappointing initial completive bid through the State’s Bid System which resulted in average bids approximately 25% over budget. By closely collaborating with the Owner to understand their needs and wants, MCM was able to shave over $6 M off their original bid price, subsequently saving the project from being scrapped due to a lack of funding.
