City of Sunny Isles Beach Government Center Annex | RFP# 15-08-02 D. Project Approach and Understanding Page 8 the current design process, as it relates to overall schedule and required design deliverables to support procurement and construction activities. We will do this by working with Perkins + Will and other consultants to establish specific design deliverables and corresponding milestones for the project. Design activities must support the construction activities and early communication of these expectations is critical. Because of the significant issues related to both the schedule and technical components of the project, close coordination between the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Perkins + Will and Skanska is imperative. Skanska will be an integral part during this phase and actively participate during the design process and meetings for value engineering, PEP’s, constructability reviews, etc. We will provide schedule and cost comparisons between options and alternates to ensure cost efficient and informed decisions are realized. Value Management Skanska uses internationally recognized systems and procedures for Value Management that center around performing “Functional Analysis” on critical systems and parts of the building with the overall objective being to improve the value of the project. We work with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors and vendors to optimize operational performance, lower life cycle costs and increase overall cost effectiveness through “value enhanced” planning, design review, constructability review and operational performance review. This is best accomplished through multi-day workshops consisting of multi-disciplinary teams composed of all of the “stakeholders” interested in the project’s success. The participants should be the facilities owner, user, architect, engineers, consultants as applicable, builder/contractor and a Value Management certified leader to manage the effort. This workshop’s purpose is to creatively explore practical, insightful and new ideas to achieve the best value for the owner. The workshop is a forum for decision-making, which fosters cooperation and discussions leading to the formation of a team consensus which is then documented as recommendations for implementation by the design team. Skanska has successfully utilized these techniques to both shorten construction schedules as well as to “re-distribute” costs to better align them with the owner’s vision and requirements. Proof of our ability to utilize these techniques to the owner’s benefit can be seen in the fact that our projects are delivered either early or on-time and built within the owner’s budgets! Here are just a few examples: Schedule impacts Florida International University- College of Nursing and Health Sciences Saved 5-1/2 months on a 20 month schedule School Board of Broward County Heron Heights Elementary Saved 4 months on a 14 month schedule
