I SECTION 4 - QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL It is important through project management, to resolve the many challenges on projects facing municipalities today. Whether a project's primary focus is a pedestrian bridge or pier construction, it will require clear and concise communication as well as clearly defined project objectives and a detailed and concise management program from the inception of project implementation. At Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA), excellent Project Management skills are seen as the cornerstone to any successful project. The CGA Project Manager for this contract will be Joel Wadsworth. Throughout the professional coordination, and construction management phases, Mr. Wadsworth will be in regular communication with the appointed representative for Sunny Isles Beach to update them on the project's status and progress. All communication between the CGA project team and the City staff will occur through the CGA Project Manager. The CGA Team's approach to projects is principally based on a keen understanding and awareness of the technical issues surrounding the uniqueness of each project, the establishment of a management process targeted and tailored to resolve any potential issues and conflicts, and the selection of specific staff to accomplish the projects' goals. The distribution of assignments among the varying expertise of the CGA Team members is orchestrated to ensure that all aspects of the projects are monitored by experienced personnel, as well as ensuring that there are overlaps to guarantee seamlessness in the process, quality and delivery of the services as a cohesive team. Components of your QA/QC control include the following considerations: Pre-Construction The team under Mr. Wadsworth's direction will immediately begin Constructability /Build ability /Bid- ability reviews of each of the two project's scope in order to arrive at an analysis of any risk assessment issues necessary for a prioritized strategy of action, an essential step to evade or mitigate potential conflicts, avoid claims and minimize project costs and timely extensions. In addition, we will review project requirements against unique project commitments (including environmental issues, agency coordination) in order to establish a Targeted Action Plan focused on successfully achieving the project's goals and milestones. Another major component of our pre-construction activity processes include a thorough analysis of impending circumstances that need to be addressed, particularly with the impact of the environmental issues and their regulating agencies. It has been our experience that both scheduled and unforeseen field conditions can critically affect the schedule and budget of construction projects if not adequately planned for and addressed as necessary, In addition, in order to minimize potential utility conflict issues, CGA will contact and schedule a meeting with each utility provider with existing facilities within the project area to review the schedule and scope of all planned removal/relocation operations, as well as develop an Action Plan for identification, notification and resolution of all conflicts, including the contact information for the agencies' responsible personnel. Construction During the construction phases, we are hereby committed to providing exemplary professional services to ensure the projects' scope are delivered in compliance with the contract documents, and that they thereby meet or exceed their inherent expectation for stakeholders throughout the duration of the processes in its entirety, The CGA Team therefore performs two vital functions during the construction phases: nN> "'11 (\'7 (\1 Cnor;~l fncnprti(\n Sprvil'ps.
