6 TAB C - PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING JOINT-USE KNOWLEDGE: Your partnership with MDCPS is very similar to the project we built for the City of Miami which was also a joint use facility with MDCPS. That 4 story facility was one in which the City occupied the first two floors and MDCPS occupied the top two floors. We have built a similar joint use facility involving the City of Miami and MDCPS so we understand the dynamics of the building a facility like yours. Our approach to making sure all sides are happy with the facility is to communicate clearly in preconstruction in order to make sure we are hearing and understanding all the users’ concerns. We will also tailor our deliverables to show the budget and schedule impact of each area of the facility. MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS KNOWLEDGE: Pirtle Construction has built over 350 K-12 projects and many of those have been for the Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). We know that a significant part of the facility will be used for academics and our experience with MDCPS, and specifically the Norman S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8, will allow us to deliver those spaces in a timely manner, at the best price, and meet their expectations regarding academic performance. Our approach will be to work closely with the team in preconstruction in order to make sure the details and nuances of MDCPS’ educational specifications are incorporated into their spaces, saving the team time and money. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS & TECHNIQUES: One of Pirtle Construction’s strengths is our innovative solutions and 21st century techniques for both construction and facility management. Some of the innovative solutions and techniques that Pirtle will implement on the new Sunny Isles Government Center are as follows: TEMPORARY AIR CONDITIONING FOR CONSTRUCTION Most construction projects do not utilize temporary air conditioning during construction, which often results in the permanent HVAC system being energized prematurely to help a project achieve humidity and moisture control. Premature use of the permanent HVAC system can lead to unnecessary damage and wear, which will reduce the overall life span of the system. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) FOR FACILITY MANAGEMENT Pirtle Construction has been using BIM for many years for construction coordination and to help expedite a project schedule. Pirtle has also used 6D BIM to provide a facility owner with the final building model, tagging of product data information, tagging of product warranty information, the necessary software to manage the model, and the training to use the model to the benefit of the building facility team.
