Thus. the design of any project could be <br /> Icategorized into the following two main phases: <br /> 1. Study Phase <br /> I2. Design <br /> Our Team provides a holistic approach towards planning and design. where we involve members of <br /> I the different disciplines necessary for the project and conduct a "Brainstorming Session` for the <br /> purpose of obtaining an optimum solution to the project. The session is intended to identify fatal <br /> flaws. value analysis and to maintain compatibility amongst the different disciplines involved in the <br /> I <br /> project. This holistic approach has been successful in both transportation planning and design <br /> projects. <br /> IOPTIMIZE <br /> Any engineer can put a design on paper. It is an entirely different set of technical skills to make this <br /> Idesign one that is practical. useful for its intended purposes and cost-effective. During the design <br /> phase. we strive to optimize our designs. Typical architectural systems are described by very large <br /> numbers of variables. and it is the designer's task to specify appropriate values for these variables. <br /> Skilled designers utilize their knowledge. experience, and judgment to specify these variables and <br /> design effective engineered systems. Because of the size and complexity of the typical design task. <br /> IIhowever, even the most skilled designers are unable to take into account all of the variables <br /> simultaneously. Design optimization is the application of techniques to engineering systems to assist <br /> the designers in improving the system's performance. reliability. and/or cost. <br /> 11 <br /> 0 CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH <br /> RFQ NO. 12-04-02 <br /> El <br />
