-'MORIARTY 9) Statement of EXDerience We have been involved with many projects of this nature. This project is exactly what we excel at. To build a successful project it requires an emphasis on understanding the client needs and goals of the project, assembling the right subcontractor team and establishing a clear game plan on how to achieve the cost, schedule, and quality requirements of the project. JMA will always have principal level involvement throughout the entire project to ensure the success of the project. JMA defines success as a happy client that wants to continue using JMA as the contractor of choice. JMA has performed similar public work in the area for Sunny Isles Beach by constructing the Town Center Park located across from Ocean IV. For Hallandale Beach, we constructed the Hallandale Beach Fire Station on Collins Avenue and have constructed a multitude of parking garages from West Palm Beach to South Beach and have the know how and subcontractor support to meet the most aggressive schedule. We are also intimately familiar with local soil conditions and traffic patterns having constructed Ocean I and Ocean II located across the street from the Heritage Park location. When JMA gets involved in a project we are constantly looking for more effective and efficient ways of building it. We review all aspects of the project, the structure, foundations, constructability of details, better materials for long term maintenance, use of local materials and subcontractors, equivalent or alternative proprietary systems and single sourced products, etc. Some examples: During our review of a forty story building we noticed that the structure was inefficient and the shell costs were excessively high. JMA initiated a peer review with local South Florida structural engineer to evaluate the design and it was subsequently discovered that a transfer beam was severely over stressed and would fail! Working with the engineering team we were able to propose over $5.5M in savings by making the shear walls more efficient, we also reduced the rebar tonnage, and made by making the building lighter we also reduced the amount of piles by 20%. The redesign effort that JMA spearheaded did not impact the project schedule. A developer was trying to upgrade their HVAC design efficiency and was told by a competing GC that it would cost more then $300k to redesign and upgrade. JMA then became involved in the project and asked the owner if we could look at the upgrade again since the extra cost did not make sense to us. When we completed our in house estimate soliciting pricing and we were able to provide the owner with the upgraded equipment without impacting the schedule and at no additional cost. Our One Miami project had severe site constraints with access limited by its proximity to the Miami River. The owner had planned on using barges anchored in the river for the needed lay down area to ensure site access. JMA came up with a creative elevated deck using an engineered scaffolding system which allowed more construction zones and saved 4 months on the schedule.
