City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 18-08-01 | Consulting Engineering Services for Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements (CCNA) ABILITY TO COMPLETE PROJECTS ON SCHEDULE AND WITHIN BUDGETCGA is committed to completing all projects under this contract on-time and within budget. To ensure this commitment is met, CGA will manage staff schedules to ensure they are adequately available to support the workload as needed. CGA utilizes Ajera to manage the full project life cycle of each project. As one of our project management tools, the system controls all aspects of the project including accounting, project management, and resource utilization in real-time. This system is web based allowing both internal and remotely placed employees full function capabilities via any internet connection. Central to Ajera is customizable dashboards, offering unparalleled access to project's information at a glance for improved visibility and decision making. This software has integrated all the processes necessary to manage and improve the life cycle of the project, which in-turn saves our client both time and money. The system not only keeps a "live" accounting of all of our projects budgets, earned to date, work in progress and estimate to complete, but it also allows Project Managers to assign and resource load to our staff and projects. BUDGET PREPARATION AND COST ESTIMATING CGA maintains two cost estimating databases to provide more accurate budget and cost estimations. The first database contains recent bid prices obtained from recent publicly bid projects within the South Florida area. The second database is a nationally recognized firm that takes into account additional features. The blending of these two databases allows us to more accurately predict future budgets and cost estimates. The budgets prepared can be displayed as line item costs in a schedule of values format or by utilizing a work breakdown structure (WBS). The budgets and cost estimates will take into account several factors including projected material costs, ground conditions, work area, easements required, schedule and time of year. Each of these factors can greatly affect construction costs and if not accounted for can skew your budget estimates. RISK MANAGEMENTCGA’s primary focus is to resolve issues prior to construction. Our Risk Management begins with our multifaceted, multi-discipline Quality Assurance/ Quality Control Plan. Our 30/60/90 and construction plan sets all undergo a thorough review process. At each phase of the plan development the plans are reviewed by a peer engineer, a supervisor, our construction/CEI department and a Director. By allowing our construction/CEI department to review our plans, we are able to visualize constructability issues long before costly labor and equipment have mobilized to the project site. This experience provides our team with the hands-on experience required to minimize risk. 25
