I#-% A, sM ^, Gateway Park Construction Management Services RFQ# 12 -06 -01 4. CIMA's Approach to Services CIMA employs an organized and methodical approach to all of our projects. This approach begins with a complete understanding of the client's goals and objectives on the project. In dealing with projects such as the Gateway Park project it is critical that the consultant grasp the unique nature of the project. As this site serves as gateways to different sections of Sunny Isles the main objective should be to enhance the experience of arriving at this location; both from a vehicular aspect as well as from a pedestrian perspective. The conceptual vision for this project also requires that public space be provided and interaction be encouraged while preserving the functional aspect of vehicular circulation critical to the success of the garage component. This will contribute to the vision of a vibrant and eclectic community on the beach and enhance the pedestrian component while maintaining a safe environment and a walkable streetscape. Furthermore, as central points of congregation for those arriving and parking on the beach the project's goal should be to create a structure that embodies the activity and movement that will be generated while reflecting the surrounding environment; both in terms of the natural waterfront and beach as well as the surrounding architecture. To ensure that all of the City's and community's goals are met CIMA will follow the comprehensive steps t as outlined below. These design strategies have been implemented in past projects by CIMA and proven to be successful. Design Methodology: Team CIMA understands the importance of a thorough and methodical approach to the design process. Our approach begins with an open dialogue with all key personnel at the City staff and Design Builder to ensure that all desired characteristics will be achieved. Concurrently, CIMA will work closely with City staff and design builder to prepare a zoning package for approval. The design builder will present a design submittal complete with graphic representations of the building and well - developed plans, as well as a preliminary cost estimate at this time. CIMA will attend any and all meetings necessary including staff reviews, Planning & Zoning hearings, community groups and associations, and City Commission meetings if applicable. r Upon completion of Schematic Design and the approval of the revised design by the City, CIMA will immediately insure that design builder commences Design Development and Construction Documents phases of the work. These two phases combined should take no more than 120 days to complete per f ] project. The Design Development phase should be completed within approximately 45 days into the i ! production process, while the Construction Documents phase will then be completed within the remaining 75 day time frame per project. Design Deliverables: At the completion of the Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents phases CIMA will insure that design builder completes a set of drawings. CIMA will provide a cost estimate and schedule of the construction phase of the project. As the design process progresses these cost estimates and schedules will be updated and refined in greater detail to reflect the development of the building and its systems. Additionally, at the 75% completion of the Construction Documents phase, CIMA will issue a preliminary permit review set to the City. This set can be used for a cursory review by the City's building department in an effort to expedite the permit process by receiving comments prior to official submission by whichever Contractor is awarded the project.
