Seek input; adjust; and finalize documents <br /> <br />Whether formal submittals such as Schematic Design, Design Development, <br />Construction Documents, semi-formal communications such as technical and <br />project memoranda, or informal discussions, CTA's goal is to continue the active <br />listening process so that the end product meets the City Leadership Team's <br />expectations. <br /> <br />ABILITY TO MEET DESIRED TIMElINES AND DEADLINES <br /> <br />At the current time, CTA is adequately staffed to handle all current and projected <br />workloads. Workload projections and staffing assignments are reviewed on a weekly basis <br />at department meetings that are held every Monday. The overall staffing of the firm is <br />adjusted as necessary to meet our workload demands. This may include an increase (or <br />decrease) in hours by current support staff or the hiring of new staff members. Currently, <br />our workload projections do not include any unusual demands that would require any staff <br />adjustments or affect our ability to meet the City's project schedule. <br /> <br />The successful and timely implementation of the City's drainage improvements on 174th <br />Street will require cooperation from other non-City agencies and utility companies. Craven <br />Thompson has the leadership and facilitation skills to proactively engage early on and <br />throughout the design phase with each group to keep the project on schedule. <br /> <br />1. Coordination with Other Governmental Agencies <br /> <br />Three non-city agencies that need to be engaged early in the process are the Florida <br />Department of Transportation (interface with Collins Avenue), the Miami-Dade <br />County Public Works Department (impacts to existing traffic signal infrastructure at <br />Collins Avenue intersection), and the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental <br />Resources Management Water Control Section (drainage connections and outfalls). If <br />injection wells prove to be a project solution, then the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection will also be a key regulatory agency that may affect the <br />project's cost or schedule. <br /> <br />Coordination with these agencies involves reaching out to staff early in the project <br />data collection stage to seek input and provide them a window of time for <br />constructive feedback to avoid impacts to the project schedule. As with any <br />communications with non-City representatives, Craven Thompson will develop a <br /> <br />CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />ENGINEERING - SURVEYING - LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE - PLANNING <br /> <br />414 <br />
