Request for Proposal - "Aquatic Entertainment Complex" City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida November 8, 2010 . The firm believes that the best road to obtaining successful project objectives is in establishing a strategic working methodology that ultimately provides the following benefits: . Reduce Project Cost . Decrease overall time in planning and design . Anticipate the time scheduling needs . Continuity throughout the project . Continuous control of the entire project Rooted in the deepest levels of the firm's core management is its commitment to service, which is the driving principle of a construction management responsibility. The firm's involvement from the earliest stages of design through the final close-out of construction ensures that all expectations are fully realized. This approach provides checks and balances for each team member, enabling important decisions to be made and programmed early. 12.3 Coordination of Team Members/Subcontractors . As the project transitions into construction, the staff moves with the project and the knowledge obtained during the pre-construction phase is transferred to actions in the field. At this point in the project, no one knows the specific issues and details of the project better than the construction team, who, through pre-construction activities, have been instrumental in each step and major decision along the way. This is a key element in facilitating information and knowledge to other sub-contractors and fabricators whom rely on the Project Managers to guide them throughout the construction. On site weekly meetings with all of the main trades provide an essential method of operation in coordinating efforts. In addition, the Construction Manager actively provides communications to the entire construction team via announcements and/or notifications sent to company e-mails. 12.4 Subcontracting Plan The Developer has an extensive record of building large scale projects and for many years has established solid relations with the area's most prestigious and successful companies and fabricators. These relationships are important in obtaining competitive bids and a "preferential treatment" nevertheless the firm always obtains several bids and remains vigilant with respect to costs and expenses. . All sub-contracts follow strict performance guidelines that are clearly established by the firm and, as part of the sub-contracting plan, the firm identifies minority owned and disadvantage companies and are invited to bid and participate on projects. 30 of 32
