April 8, 2009 City of Sunny Isles Beach 18070 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach, FI 33160 Re: RFQ No. 09-03-01, Professional Construction Services for Heritage Park and Parking Garage, Letter of Interest Attn: Rick Conner, City Manager First, we would like to thank you and the City of Sunny Isles Beach for the opportunity to submit our qualifications for your consideration. Second, why should you invite Current Builders to the second phase? There are a number of relevant reasons that I would like you to consider that are discussed in further detail within our submittal as follows. ~ Our Approach to the Project: Within our submittal we took a team approach to the uniquely different projects of the garage and park combining our garage building expertise with a firm who has significant park experience and with whom we have worked with previously. ~ Building Information Modeling also known as B.I.M: This new three dimensional plan coordination tool also known as Virtual Design and Construction has been adopted by Current Builders and recently used on a similar Design/Build garage with great success speeding the construction timeframe while reducing change orders. ~ Competitive Costs: A unique capability of Current Builders is our ability to self perform concrete structures which make up 35-40% of the project cost. This is accomplished with our CB Structures group. ~ The Partners: Each project is assigned what we call a P.I.C., otherwise known as a principle in charge. The Owners, Design team and project team are always dealing with a partner that can make decisions quickly and responsibly. ~ Our Culture: The industry is slowly moving away from the "silo" mentality where Owners, Architects and Contractors think and work independently in their respective silos to more integration and collaboration. We support this. Each of our projects start with a third party facilitator to teach team building to the project team enabling better collaboration between all parties and creates a partnering mentality. We sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to provide a proposal in phase two so we can show the committee how we can provide very competitive pricing without sacrificing quality, safety and collaboration through our adoption of the newest leading technology. Finally, the selection of a CM/GC comes down to your confidence that the firm can perform to the required level that is required and if they give you the level of personal service you deserve. We have a proven record for over 35 years managing successful projects and relationships, as we know each project is unique and demands a new commitment to success. This commitment begins with our submittal of qualifications. C'I~urs~ Charles P. Reid CEO CB Constructors, Inc. 2lPage
