Overall Organization The Coastal Systems team has a proven track record in completing high quality infrastructure improvement projects that include paving, grading, drainage, water and sewer, landscape and related elements. The Coastal Systems team uses a variety of tools to ensure a positive experience for the various user groups as well as minimization of client costs and maintenance issues. Our dedication to open lines of communication and proven project management strategies reduces the amount of client oversight required and streamlines all phases of project implementation including production of plans, securing permits, and facilitating the bid and construction phase of the process. Timelines and Deadlines Coastal Systems has adequate staff resources and knowledge to complete all tasks identified in the RFP. Coastal Systems will complete specific project planning, engineering analyses, design, cost and alternative analyses, permitting and construction administration tasks on time schedules mutually agreed between the City and our office. Coastal Systems goal for effective project management is to clearly define scope and fee budget for a project from the beginning, in close conjunction with the City. Roles and responsibilities are clearly conveyed and a project schedule established with milestones. Most waterfront projects are complex in terms of environmental regulatory permitting. Coastal Systems strives to define the regulatory strategy prior to submitting permit applications through pre-application meetings and an in-depth knowledge of state and federal permitting regulations. Additional studies and meetings are common during the permitting process to address request for information (RAI) from various government agencies. Coastal Systems is accustomed to providing technical depth and manpower to address these issues on a timely basis to keep the permitting process moving forward as environmental permitting is most always on the critical path of the project schedule. Communication with the City is essential during these periods of time to present strategies and to address the project scope relative to these RAI's. Corporate Office: 464 South Dixie Highway.
