Ability to Meet Desired Timelines and Deadlines Kimley -Horn is committed to providing the City of Sunny Isles Beach with the highest quality staff and service to meet your project schedule and budget requirements. Meeting your schedule for deliverables is not just a goal to us —it is a mandate. To assist our project managers in efficient administration of projects, Kimley -Horn maintains a detailed, integrated management information system (MIS). This system, designed primarily to focus on schedule adherence and cost control, has proven to be a valuable tool. Schedule control begins with the preparation of a detailed schedule that includes milestone completion dates for specific tasks and the overall project. We will develop for this project, as we do for every project we undertake, a work plan v Meeting your that allocates person -hour commitments by individual for each task. The MIS schedule for generates a Project Effort Report twice each month showing the effort that has a. been expended for each task. This internal control allows us to make, on a timely i deliverables is not basis, any adjustments that may be necessary to maintain your schedule and stay just a goal to us— within your budget. it is a mandate. Kimley -Horn also uses a proprietary program and workload forecasting technique called "cast - aheads" which is our primary means of tracking and evaluating our staffing needs and availability for a particular contract. Updated monthly by project managers, the cast -ahead system is used to define specific staffing needs for the next month and for the next six months. All project managers reserve staff or request specific personnel to work on their projects for a certain number of weeks of the month. The combined input from all project managers is compiled and distributed in the form of a report to all project managers and regional management for review and discussion at the monthly cast -ahead meeting. Work overloads and /or shortfalls for specific personnel, individual offices, and disciplines are tabulated and addressed at the meeting. Where possible, any imbalances are resolved through internal shifts of personnel between offices. The objective is to balance the workload in a manner that maximizes the utilization of production staff, while ensuring that all project requirements and client deadlines are met. This system ensures that the right people are working on your project when they need to be in order to complete the project within your schedule.
