This system of continuity has resulted in an impressive record of successfully completed projects by ORDA. • Quality, cost and schedule control are paramount throughout the duration of a project so, pro- ® ject teams are structured for optimum communication between clients and designers. All key personnel have extensive experience working on municipal projects similar in nature to the • potential projects for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. We continue to receive high marks from • municipalities throughout Miami-Dade County. This combined experience insures an under- O standing and appreciation for the challenges to be faced with municipal projects, as well as, a background in resolution of each of the challenges. • • The organizational structure at ORDA has been developed to offer hands on project manage- ment from seasoned landscape architects that have extensive experience in working with mu- • nicipalities. Our quality control team and an uncompromising insistence on performance in- O sures that all projects will be handled in a consistent, professional, thorough and timely man- • ner. ORDA's management approach is specifically reflective of an attitude toward completing ® the tasks defined in any given scope of work. • The ORDA team understands that quality work achieved only through Total Quality Manage- • ment. Each member of the project team understands the overall goals and objectives of any project and their specific role in achieving them. ORDA trains each employee to consciously 0 assure that their work achieves project requirements, is free of defects, and meets the proles- • sional standards expected by the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Bill O'Leary, a veteran in his field, O will assure that total quality control is achieved for all landscape architectural aspects and Kevin Richards in all construction related aspects of the projects assigned. • Project Approach • O'Leary Richards Designs' success working with municipalities is built on years of experience listening closely to clients. Because every site offers a unique set of challenges and opportuni- • ties, ORDA tailors its design approach according to the owner's program, scope, timeline and • budget while drawing on experience gained over 40 years of successfully completed projects. O ORDA has the ability to meet desired timelines and deadlines as evidenced in past perform- ance. To have a successful project will require close coordination with the City. 0 • All projects are undertaken with the aim of creating innovative, sustainable environments by O implementing the best design ideals in real world situations. It is important that we create environments that represent the identity of our clients as well. Our synergistic design and • management approach makes us the primary choice for public projects. Landscape Architec- • ture encompasses analysis, planning, design, management and stewardship of the natural and ® built environments. ORDA believes nature should be allowed to permeate the built environ- ment, seeing nature in the City as a necessity rather than a luxury. Due to the harsh environ- • ment within public rights-of-way beachfront communities, the landscape design should con- • sider the selection of hardy and low maintenance vegetation.
