CTA has an unmatched level of experience in <br />approaching the design and management of these types of projects. In our experience, the <br />best way to anticipate major problems in a project is to think ahead and to continuously ask <br />questions and solicit input from knowledgeable people. This applies to both the design phase <br />and construction phase. eTA holds a weekly departmental staff meeting where our surveyors, <br />landscape architects, land planners and civil engineers share information and ask questions on <br />various projects, and this often helps to identify potential problems before they occur. A direct <br />line of communication from our field representatives to the professional staff also helps to get <br />answers quickly and avoid unnecessary delays. <br /> <br />CTA's approach to problem solving and solutions is one of inclusiveness and a thorough <br />evaluation of options. We will often develop numerous design alternatives (or solutions) and <br />discuss each alternative in detail with the City and any affected parties. Very often these same <br />individuals will also be involved in brainstorming and sharing ideas for a given solution. At the <br />end of the process, eTA will provide a recommendation that will include cost estimates and <br />time lines, if applicable. <br /> <br />Overall, CTA will work to achieve the following goals as the City's Park Design Consultant: <br /> <br />· Same day response to inquiries <br />· Schedule with milestone dates <br />Recovery schedule <br />· Explore alternatives during design phase <br />· Verify cost opinions with other sources <br />· Keep the City of Sunny Isles Beach's project manager informed of critical elements <br />· Direct contact with our Project Manager <br /> <br />CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />ENGINEERING - SURVEYING - LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE - PLANNING <br /> <br />413 <br />
