Early coordination with these agencies is a key factor to expedite the permitting process. Maintenance of Traffic (MOT): A comprehensive MOT Plan will be developed during the design process in order to minimize the impacts to the traffic of this important area. Allowable work hours shall be coordinated with local residences and the City; night work will not be permitted. MOT will be a primary task for our Team. Specifications: A thorough set of technical specifications will be prepared in order to detail the sequence of construction and other construction activities, construction materials, and measurement and payment items necessary for the success of this project. Post Design Services: A quick turnaround will be provided for responses to Requests for Information (RFI's) and review of Shop Drawings during the bidding and construction process. Our firm employs over thirty (30) Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) personnel, which will provide the City with outstanding construction service capabilities. 4.2 Overall Organization to Completing the Project APCTE recognizes the importance of creating a threefold approach to a project involving the work called for by this RFQ: Conceptual, Technical and Managerial Approach. When the Conceptual stage of a project is omitted, the most original and efficient ideas are lost, and the focus of the project becomes dull and "routine" in nature. In order to have a worthwhile project that makes a first-class lasting statement, a highly qualified Team of professionals must first take time to analyze each and every possible alternative solution for each individual circumstance, prior to the selection of the best one. A sample of APCTE's Conceptual Approach was depicted in the previous Section (4.1L where an analysis was made of the several alternatives to solve the drainage deficiencies along 174th Street, and after the feasibility of each alternative was considered, a recommendation was made regarding the preferred solution. The most important element in the next step of the approach to this contract, the Technical Approach, will be for the consultant Project Manager to become fully aware of the City of Sunny Isles Beach's standards and regulations, plans production and permitting requirements, and general preferences with respect to the proposed roadway and drainage improvements. Projects that begin with the adequate technical approach sail smoothly throughout the entire design and construction process. Plans submittal activities will consist of the following phases: . Initial Site Investigation: includes geotechnical testing, field survey, analysis of any existing plans or as-built information, verification of existing field conditions and identification of areas in need of roadway and drainage improvements. . Initial Engineering: design reports, conceptual design analysis, preliminary plans, and initial cost estimates; also involves coordination with utility companies and regulatory agencies such as Miami-Dade County Permitting, Environment, and Regulatory Affairs (M-D PERA, previously M-D DERM) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). . Final Engineering: includes preparation and distribution of roadway and drainage plans and the specifications package. . Production Completion: includes a complete set of signed and sealed construction documents, executed utility certification letters from each of the affected utility companies and permit certification from the regulatory agencies.
