O Craig A. Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers • Surveyors • Subsurface Utility Engineering 3D Subsurface Imaging • Utility Coordination • CAS commits to high moral and ethical standards throughout the project. • CAS provides quality assurance/quality control and value-added results for all projects. • CAS utilizes state-of-the-art technologies (Autodesk Civil 3D, 2-D GPR, 3-D Radar Tomography, latest survey equipment) Cost Control In order to get the most accurate budget price at the pre -construction phase and the construction phase, CAS details all design items into many small parts that will add up to one whole project (unit pricing, quantities and bill of materials). By doing this, our cost estimates are very accurate. Our track record with cost estimates to bids has been within 5%-10%. CAS's philosophy utilizes a phased approach towards assisting the city in problem solving and for implementation of public works and planning projects. Schedule, cost control and team work - the CAS approach is to develop milestones and defined deliverables with the city in order to meet the city's requirements. We try to identify potential issues early in the project so necessary action can be taken to keep the project on schedule. We continually update the cost of the project in order to stay on budget. If an issue develops with the schedule, cost or the budget, we advise the city and develop a plan for corrective measures with the staff. We consider the city and CAS as one team, all striving for the same goal - a quality product on schedule and on budget. CAS technical reviews are conducted throughout the project schedule by the principal members of our firm as part of our commitment to quality engineering. We propose to negotiate a lump sum cost for each project prior to issuance of a work order. Our goal is to have no additional fees on any project. CAS also has an excellent track record on construction cost over runs. Listed below is CAS's change order history for construction projects over the last ten (10) years. Note the change order is zero to less than three percent (3%). The average typically is approximately one and a half percent (1.5%). 7777 Glades Road, Suite 410, Boca Raton, FL 33434 • Ph: 561-314-4445 • www.craigasmith.com • LB3110 14
