KEY PERSONNEL Grindline has a proven history of meeting project objectives on schedule and within budget. Our office is staffed such that any given task can be performed on more than one project at any given time. Our Seattle office has a staff of 3 primary technical personnel and 3 support personnel working on current projects. It is the norm for Grindline to manage and administer multiple projects at any given time such that each meets its specified objectives. We believe that the keys to successfully completing overlapping projects are proactive scheduling, and task time management. The initial schedule development will be a cooperative effort between the client and the consultant such that each understands the objectives, limitations and critical steps in the process. With a schedule established, we firmly believe that it is up to the consultant to take whatever steps are required to keep the project on or ahead of schedule without sacrificing the quality of the end product. The key individuals listed below will be performing the work and will not be substituted without the city's prior approval. MATT FLUEGGE COO/PRINCIPAL PROJECT MANAGER, GRINDLlNE SKATEPARKS Matt Fluegge, will serve as Project Manager and Quality Assurance Director overseeing deliverables and milestones throughout the life of the project. Matt's focus and responsibility on this project will be to establish the project objectives for the Team once the design brief has been delivered by the city and the community. Matt will work closely with the design team throughout conceptual design, as well as with our in-house draftsman throughout the development of construction documents, assuring that the concept intent stays intact as it is transformed into working drawings and appropriate corresponding technical specifications. This ensures that the final design documents can be easily interpreted and executed by engineers and or qualified contractors taking the project into a construction phase. Matt's extensive level of field experience is invaluable during the design of the project because he can relay his perspective from the physical process of construction. Matt will also use this experience to perform on site observation during construction, making key visits at crucial milestones of the build. As Grindline's Senior Principal and Chief Operations officer, Matt oversees all of Grindline's construction and design projects. He is responsible for developing project scope and budgets, generating accurate cost estimates, overseeing preparation of constructions documents, communicating with clients, and project scheduling. Matt has extensive experience participating on interdisciplinary design teams, working with architects, engineers, surveyors, and artists. Matt reviews and approves all project deliverables, attends pre construction meetings and site visits, handles changes in the scope of contracts and gets final acceptance of the projects. Matt's a life- long skater with many years of field experience with skatepark design and construction. He brings a tech savvy perspective to the project team with his experience in a number of different drafting and estimating programs. Matt is seasoned in managing both skatepark design and construction having produced public bid documents and successfully completing millions of dollars worth of public works projects for Grindline. MICAH SHAPIRO LEAD DESIGNER - GRINDLlNE SKATE PARKS Micah Shapiro, Grindline's Principal Lead Designer, will be the main point of contact with whom the client's representatives will work with and talk to on a daily basis during project startup and design development. He has served as the project manager and lead designer on over 50 Grindline projects during the last 5 years and is well versed in the complexities of managing a project of this type and scale. Due to the nature of this project community input will be critical to the success of the project. Mr. Shapiro has extensive experience in coordinating this type of community input as well as balancing the needs of different user groups in order to provide a facility designed to accommodate all ages and abilities. His responsibilities will include day to day project management, coordination between the all members of the design team and the client, and design of the skateable elements. Mr. Shapiro will also be the public liaison during the project, attending all site visits, community input meetings and stakeholder meetings in Sunny Isles Beach. 6
