O • ( Calvin. Giordano & Associates, Inc. • 11:37:HA [. E M C E P 1 I O N A l SOLUTIONS O ® CGA will proceed to gather all available as-built information for the project area as well as any existing permit information. In conjunction with this task we will perform a design survey of the project area (as Onecessary) gathering topographic information, rims and inverts on structures and pipe sizes and materials, O as well as locating all above ground improvements.We also have available our in-house VaXcavator system, which can perform underground locates in areas of concern for potential conflicts or where a large number Oof utilities are crossing. Our Engineering Department can assemble all of this information in CAD drawings O as a base for the construction documents. OAt this point CGA can meet with the appropriate governing agencies to discuss concepts. We believe that O meeting early with these agencies will save a great deal of time and effort in the latter stages of the project. ® Upon reaching a conceptual agreement with the agencies, CGA will meet with its sub-consultants and ® internal team members to further clarify the scope and schedule. OCGA will incorporate data gained through agency comment into 30% design plans and calculations. These O plans and calculations will be provided for City review. City comments will then be incorporated into the Oplans, which will be further developed into 60% documents. CGA will process these plans and calculations ® through an internal review process as well as through City review. The typical CGA internal reviews take place at 30%, 60%,90%, and 100%complete documents. O ® After incorporation of the City's 30% comments, CGA will proceed to completion of 60% construction documents. As with the 30% documents, the 60% construction documents would then be provided to the O City staff for review and comment. O We will proceed to 90% construction documents upon incorporation of the City's 60% comments. CGA will prepare the construction permit applications and supporting documentation at the 90% construction O document stage to assist Fort Lauderdale with obtaining the construction permits for the improvements Ofrom the appropriate agencies. ® During this period, CGA will prepare and submit responses to "Requests for Additional Information" (RAI) O relative to the permitting package submitted. Any comments or additional requirements will be O incorporated into the design prior to preparing the 100%design documents. O In addition, CGA will review the project from a "constructability" of design perspective to meet the City's Ogoals and objectives and to maintain a firm grasp on the costs associated with each project. ® The "constructability" of a design is an important facet to consider during each phase of a design's O development, however, when a preliminary design is nearing substantial completion (90% plans), it undergoes an in-house constructability review by our CEI and Construction Management Departments. OThis review specifically ensures that the plans make sense from a construction perspective,and is intended ® to minimize potential problems in the field during construction. O We will meet with City Staff to receive their comments on the 90% design submittal. Following the meeting Oour team will incorporate the City's comments and in addition identify any changes required due to agency O comment and comments from the CGA constructability review, and make appropriate revisions to the 90% ® design documents. We will then proceed to complete preparation of the contract documents, technical specifications and bidding documents for the solicitation of competitive bids for the construction of the Oproject.
