<br /> • The Quality Control Principles we will utilize for the City's assignments to Control Costs and Maintain Schedule
<br /> e are:
<br /> •
<br /> • Keep the Team Together for the Duration of the Project: The nature of this contract with potential ongoing
<br /> •
<br /> e project assignments is such that with o team of professionals who have gone through the learning curve,
<br /> • understanding needs, prioritizing responsibilities and preparing documentation to complete assignments will
<br /> e become easier and faster to complete. Keeping the team together will also allow for honing and perfecting
<br /> e the schedule, quality control and communication between members. The end result is less cost and faster
<br /> e results as the projects progress from concept to construction.
<br /> •® • Listen to the Client: Nobody knows the project better than the Client or the City of coral Gables. It is our job
<br /> e to translate your wishes and concepts through the creative process. Our team experience allows us to quickly
<br /> e gather the information you have available so we can ask the pertinent questions. This simple, effective and
<br /> e necessary step will allow us to communicate with you from the beginning.
<br /> e • Document the Progress and Decisions Thoroughly:After listening to you,reaching conclusions and determining
<br /> direction we will document the discussions and what was agreed.Meeting minutes will be issued to all present
<br /> e and to team members, affected or not, to ensure record keeping, memorializing the interaction and for the
<br /> e purposes of tracking responses, deliverables, milestones as well as utilizing this tool to track the schedule.
<br /> e
<br /> e • Conduct Methodical Plan Checks and Reviews: We will establish and schedule plan checks and reviews.
<br /> • Agendas, lists of hot issues and criteria will be gathered before the checks, reviews and coordination efforts.
<br /> • Focused, targeted and goal minded meetings will run regularly to keep the projects on track, on schedule,
<br /> e coordinated and within the bounds of the QCP.

<br /> e • Project Schedule Maintenance: Our team will participate in the preparation of the initial schedule for each
<br /> e assignment.Maintaining schedules allows realistic goals to be met, tasks to be identified and interrelationships
<br /> e to take place. These efforts foster communications for the benefit of cooperation and coordination of efforts
<br /> e and results.The maintenance of a project's schedule is the best way to add,reduce and manage contingency
<br /> O plans for all interacting participants.
