CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements D–10IWOP41002.18w_Sunny Isles Beach Golden Shores Undergrounding.indd FDEP CCCL Permit – Required for any significant improvements seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, such as street lights to replace the street lighting currently installed on the FPL poles. Contractor Procurement No matter the delivery method that is chosen for a particular project, Kimley-Horn understands the importance of being responsive during the contractor procurement process. Answering contractor questions and issuing clarifications or addenda in a timely manner during the procurement phase will allow us to deliver a successful construction project on time and within budget, thus avoiding navigating through a project riddled with disputes. We are prepared to assist the City in administering the procurement process, including preparation of project specifications, answering bidder questions, reviewing the contractor proposals, and providing the City with a bid or GMP analysis. We can then assist in assembling the construction contract, making presentations to Commission and any other related post award services. On numerous occasions, we have assisted our municipal clients with providing specifications for long lead items in advance of design completion so that they can take advantage of not only the time savings, which is critical to maintaining the construction schedule, but also the tax savings in the direct purchase of equipment. We are ready and able to assist the City with the procurement of these items if it is determined to benefit the project budget or schedule. Construction Phase During the construction phase, you can be assured that you will continue to be served by the same Kimley-Horn professional staff who served you during the design phase. Unlike other firms that separate the construction phase team from the design team, our philosophy is to maintain the continuity of the design staff during construction. Because these individuals are the most familiar with the design of your project, there is no learning curve during its construction. Kimley-Horn’s professional staff has extensive experience in construction administration and will keep the contractor on task, on time, and within budget. Our experience will result in the delivery of a quality project that will make the City and Kimley-Horn proud. Once the contractor is selected, we will immediately request that they submit their time and payment schedules for review. We will identify schedule conflicts, sequence issues, equipment delivery issues, and other factors that may affect the successful completion of the project and address those issues accordingly with the contractor prior to the start of work. Document control will be established from the onset of the project. It is extremely important for project documentation to be properly filed and distributed to all necessary parties, so having an established program for this effort will prove to be very valuable to the project. We use a web based program called ShareFile to store project documentation. This program allows authorized users with the City to have continuous access to all project files during the course of the project. Individual user permissions can be managed to protect the integrity of the files and avoid accidental file mismanagement. We expect construction will consist of the following approach for this project. There are a lot of details to be tended to in between these steps but this is the general process: The City’s contractor will install the necessary underground conduits, pullboxes, and other necessary infrastructure. FPL will provide the City’s contractor with materials for installation while the City’s contractor will provide AT&T and Comcast conduit and pullbox materials according to their specifications.
