7 <br />TAB C - PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING <br />IMMEDIATE AND CONCENTRATED INVOLVEMENT IN PRECONSTRUCTION: <br />One of our approaches to your project is to work closely with Perkins+Will in preconstruction to make sure the <br />facility meets your schedule, budget, and quality expectations. Upon selection we will immediately request a <br />kick-off meeting with the City and Perkins+Will in order to set the mode for communicating and set overall project <br />goals. <br />It is important for the Construction Manager to be engaged immediately with the project team to provide design, <br />pricing, and constructability input. With today’s construction market the project cannot afford the time for the <br />design team to re-design any part of the project. The input from the <br />Construction Manager early in preconstruction must be quick, accurate <br />and precise so the project team is empowered to make the right <br />decisions the first time and for the design to be completed correctly the <br />first time as well. <br />SUSTAINABILITY: <br />Pirtle Construction’s record and approach with sustainability initiatives and projects in Florida is second to none. <br />Some examples of project characteristics that Pirtle will explore with the project team that will help <br />achieve sustainability are: <br />Installation of a photovoltaic system like Pirtle <br />completed at the LEED Platinum Galaxy Elementary. <br />Installation of large curtainwall and storefront <br />assemblies with high performance glazing like Pirtle <br />completed at the City of Miami/MDCPS College of <br />Policing and other projects. <br />Installation of a rainwater harvesting system through <br />the use of cisterns and related technologies like <br />Pirtle completed at Young at Art Museum and other <br />projects. <br />Installation of technologically advanced lighting systems that dim with abundant natural lighting like Pirtle <br />completed at the Pirtle Construction Office Headquarters, City of Miami Beach Property Management facility <br />and other projects. <br />Pirtle’s environmental and sustainability initiatives are not limited to our experience and input on the project <br />design. Pirtle institutes construction logistic techniques that are environmentally conscious such as a recycling <br />program for the entire project, designated eating area for construction workers to help avoid littering, and the use <br />of signage throughout the project educating workers on good sustainable practices. We also use technology in the <br />field so that field workers can use tablets to check the BIM Model and not have to take paper drawings around the <br />construction site.
