RJ Behar's QAM covers engineering calculations, engineering reports, construction cost estimates, plans submittals, computation books and other documents required for the project. RJ Behar is solely accountable for the delivered product, including the quality of our subconsultants' product. Our project manager is responsible for the use of RJ Behar's QAM.. Our process is as follows: QC Personnel An autonomous group of senior level technical reviewers will be assigned. QC Reviews All reviews will be separated into three major areas: 1) Engineering design criteria, 2) Plans/Reports preparation, cross reference review and 3) Constructability review. QC Process The process starts with the 1) Originator, 2) Sent to a checker 3) Sent back to the originator who reviews these, 4) Originator and checker meet to discuss the comments, 5) Comments are implemented and 6) Plans/reports are back checked. All these steps will require an initial and date on a Quality Control Stamp by the individual(s) involved. Constructability/Bidability Reviews Our Quality Control Engineers, Javier Rodriguez, P.E., and Jose D. Mitrani, P.E. will be in charge of these activities. They will be looking for: 1) Accuracy of the Design, 2) Lack of consistency between plans, specs, and utility and permit agreements, 3) ensure that all pay items are accounted for and 4) Identify any discrepancies that could lead to claims. They will also be responsible for coordinating with our Project Manager on upcoming submittals and maintaining the checklists. The constructability of the project is a very important item of their duties. QA Assurance Robert Behar, P.E., RJ Behar's principal-in-charge and president, will certify that the Quality Control Reviews were completed prior to all formal submittals. PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH RJ Behar has a proven record for successfully managing projects for our clients by understanding the client's needs and proving clear lines of communication for precise project control. This has been accomplished by utilizing a combination of in-house management and technical expertise combined with quality and responsive sub-consultants whom together will provide an excellent team. Close Coordination The top priority on all projects is to ensure that our team maintains close and continuous coordination. Interactive Team Manaqement Approach Our project approach will keep the City thoroughly informed of the project. The team approach is a cornerstone of RJ Behar's method of doing business. In-House "Brainstorminq Session" Once we obtain sufficient field data and have completed our field review, our project team will conduct a "brainstorming session", where the key personnel gather to discuss the project and suggest an optimum solution for the project. Use of Interactive Approach with the District to Accelerate Work The goal of the interactive approach proposed by our team is to get the decision makers involved in the project from the very start. Major design decisions will be coordinated with City staff through the City's project manager. This timely involvement allows our team to avoid false starts and eliminates significant design changes. Weekly In-House meetinQs We hold weekly in-house staff meetings with detailed action items to track budgets and design activities. Monthly ProQress Meetinqs Our Project Manager will meet with the City's Project Manager on a monthly basis to the review project's progress and prepare a progress report. 7850 N.W. 146 STREET / SUITE 504 / MIAMI UlKES/ FLORIDA 33016/ PHONE No. (305) 558-3777 / FAX No.: (305) 558-8909 rilll R.J.Behar
