Members of the Project Team will meet regularly to establish consistent quality review framework. . Quality Standards are fundamental to the success of the project. CAS prides itself on the consistent high quality of our output, whether it is project plans, specifications, design elements, comprehensive studies, survey, GIS mapping, utility locates or grant writing. . At CAS we are committed to achieving and maintaining the highest quality standards possible and ensuring the client's satisfaction. PROJECT MONITORING & BUDGETING In order to get the most accurate budget price at the pre-construction phase and the construction phase, CAS details all design items into many small parts that will add up to one whole part (Bill of Materials). By doing this our cost estimates are very accurate. Our track record with cost estimates to bids has been within 5-10%. CAS' philosophy utilizes a phased approach towards assisting the City in problem solving and for implementation of public works and planning projects. Schedule, Cost Control and Team Work - the CAS approach is to develop milestones and defined deliverables with the City in order to meet the City's requirements. We try to identify potential issues early in the project so necessary action can be taken to keep the project on schedule. We continually update the cost of the project in order to stay on budget. If an issue develops with the schedule, cost or the budget, we advise the City and develop a plan for corrective measures with the staff. We consider the City and CAS as one team, all striving for the same goal of a quality product on schedule and on budget for the City's residents. CAS Technical Reviews are conducted throughout the project schedule by the Principal members of our firm as part of our commitment to quality engineering. Our goal is to have no change orders.
