@�a Craig A. Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers • Surveyors • Subsurface Utility Engineering 3D Subsurface Imaging • Utility Coordination CAS has a knowledgeable and experienced construction management team which is important for keeping a construction project on schedule, realizing potential cost savings and minimizing construction impacts. CAS has experienced staff to provide effective contract administration including cost estimating, schedule review, shop -drawing submittal review, processing of change orders and any other related construction management activities. CAS will ensure key construction project elements are documented and updated regularly and that any issues are addressed efficiently. CAS will ensure that the contractor is held accountable, abiding according to design documents and meeting all contractual obligations. CAS will submit monthly construction progress reports to the City of Sunny Isles Beach, which will include summary of work completed, critical issues requiring resolution in order to maintain project schedule, planned budget versus actual cost to -date, planned work schedule for the next month and identification of any upcoming conflicts or other critical items. PHASE V - TESTING, START-UP AND PROJECT CLOSEOUT • Prepare Startup & Testing Plan • Supervise & coordinate all startup and testing activities • Review record drawings • Prepare Operations & Maintenance manual • Prepare final accounting, certifications and close out reports • Project Close -Out QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL Quality control throughout the project is handled by means of a check and balance system and through the team's client relationships we form during the project providing continuous open, often face-to-face and honest lines of communication. CAS conducts weekly QA/QC meetings in-house every Monday to ensure that projects are on schedule and within budget. The CAS process will be methodical and timely in approach. The established goals identified in the project initiation will be implemented through the design phase, construction phase and closeout of the project. Members of the Project Team will meet regularly to establish a consistent quality review framework Quality Standards are fundamental to the success of the project. CAS prides itself on the consistent high quality of our output, whether it is project plans, specifications, design elements, comprehensive engineering studies, survey or utility locates. • At CAS we are committed to achieving and maintaining the highest quality standards possible and ensuring the client's satisfaction. Refer to the Exhibit A - CAS Design Process Flow Chart (Section D.1) as an example of the typical QA/QC process implemented. PROJECT MONITORING & BUDGET In order to get the most accurate budget price at the pre -construction phase and the construction phase, CAS breaks down all design elements into numerous detailed items that will add up to the entire project construction cost (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' method utilizes this phased approach towards assisting the City in problem solving and for implementation of stormwater pump station rehabilitation project. 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 goals and requirements. 21045 Commercial Trial, Boca Raton, FL 33486 9 Ph: 561-314-4445 9 www.craigasmith.com • LB3110
