At RAI, we understand the importance of an inclusive process, where all stakeholders are involved. This process will provide a starting and continuous dialogue with the City of Sunny Isles Beach to understand each project’s character and specifics under this contract. Direct participation by owners and users is crucial to each project’s success. Our team has vast experience and the ability to provide thorough Architectural and Engineering Services that, when coupled with the client’s active participation, will establish a focused study of needs that will help determine the most desirable design options. Our approach promotes a greater understanding of the completed project long before the construction begins. We evaluate every design option in terms of its impact on program , budget and schedule. This process is intended to assist the City of Sunny Isles Beach in making appropriate choices so that the project ultimately satisfies each requirement. Establishing consensus among the diverse groups of participants will be an essential element in the success of any project. Architectural and Engineering Design Services RAI is a full-service architectural firm. Architecture, Interior Design, Estimating, Space Planning and Urban Planning are the foundational services offered by the firm’s “in house” personnel. Coordination of MEP, Civil, Structural and other engineering services within RAI projects is a daily practice. Continuing to serve as our client’s as a direct link to a full suite of A&E services is a role which we proudly accept. Project Management RAI’s project team is organized to deliver prompt, effective response to client requirements. In working with the firm, you will have direct access to firm principals for decision making, benefit from efficient production of all documents, stay informed from conception to construction, and see your goals met. As Principal-in-charge/Project Manager, Lourdes Rodriguez, AIA will be the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s primary contact maintaining “hands-on” control of all projects from start to finish. RAI’s internal organization relies on close, regular coordination between the Principal -in-charge, Lourdes Rodriguez, AIA, the Quality Assurance Manager, Miguel A. Rodriguez, FAIA, and Senior Project Coordinator, Rosi Cutrone, Assoc. AIA. This will provide three fully informed points of contact to you, all of whom are experienced with this type of contract. On occasions when one is temporarily unavailable, the other will be able to respond quickly ensuring that the client is always able to reach key persons. RAI is organized around client service and therefore retains senior staff that can effectively lead project teams and better collaborate between the client team members. The firm maintains a small and highly efficient technical staff and takes full advantage of current technologies to maximize productivity. As a result, your documents are produced at levels well above the ordinary firm while maintaining continuity to throughout the team. APPROACH/METHODOLOGY RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Consulting Services Kickoff Once the project has been authorized/awarded to us, we will schedule a ‘kick-off’ meeting with your project representative and any affected consultants. During this meeting, we will: • collect all pertinent project information • assess work timelines • record all project criteria • review and clarify project communication protocols • identify any project specific needs • collect all available existing documentation to take back to the office Program Validation To get your project underway, we assess and evaluate the project’s program and unique needs. We will focus on better understanding your goals in relation to the opportunities that the project site presents. We then begin to craft a responsive design propos al that addresses each of your requirements. Roadmap Once a project has begun, regularly scheduled project meetings with consultants and clients allow RAI to keep close watch over your project while making sure that the work of all parties is coordinated during development and not after the fact or in the fi eld. RAI’s standard procedures (after the program, budget and schedule are approved) include the following documents: • Preparation of design criteria checklist • Review and coordination of CPTED guidelines applicable to the project and inclusion of those within the design criteria checklist • Review and confirmation of project specific Code requirements • Review and confirmation of the County Design Criteria and specification specific to the project • Development of checklists based on those requirements • Preparation of a schedule for phase submittals, including anticipated deliverables at each milestone • Preparation of project specific drawing list, specification requirements and checklist • Preparation of project specific construction administration checklist These procedures and their respective checklists provide a roadmap for accomplishing project goals and are used by all key personnel, including the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s project representative. Meeting Minutes Site Visits Roadmap / Project Plan APPROACH/METHODOLOGY RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Consulting Services Project Plan At this point, we meet to review these documents with your project representative and confirm their agreement with key milestones, planned deliverables and any other aspect of roadmap. They are immediately distributed to consultants who are required to con firm their understanding of their project roles based on that roadmap. Upon completion of these reviews which we accomplish within a few short days, the roadmap becomes our project plan. We consider this to be a living document which is re -coordinated and adjusted as necessary as issues arise or changes become necessary. Quality Assurance During the progress of the work, quality assurance checks are performed at multiple milestones using guidelines established within the project plan. At certain key milestones, such as at completion of documentation and prior to bid release, dual QA checks are conducted to reduce ‘misses.’ While the project manager and/or principal-in-charge are primarily responsible for progress QA checks, these key checks are duplicated by an alternative project principal. Our quality assurance also carries through to construction phase of the work. When we perform construction administration, we take special care to make sure that work is being carried out according to the construction document. Completion Finally, at the completion of the project, after all closeout materials and documentation is delivered, we conduct one final de-briefing with your project representative and ask for their frank review and assessment of our overall project performance. This information is then used firm-wide to fine tune our project procedures and ensure that we always provide the level of service our clients expect from us. Contracting and Sourcing At RAI, we are deeply familiar with many project delivery methods. We are currently involved in projects utilizing the design/bid/build, CM at Risk, and Design/Build forms of contract arrangement. Our extensive background in multiple project types allow us to evaluate your project and make an informed assessment of the advantages or disadvantages of choosing one project delivery method over the other. Cost Analysis and Schedule Planning At RAI, our database of completed projects which extends through the history of our firm gives us a unique advantage when it comes to cost analysis and schedule planning. We commonly provide cost estimates for our own projects. Additionally, we are often brought in as a consultant to provide cost estimates on feasibility studies where the decision between renovations versus new construction requires supporting data. We also have a strong reputation across our past and current continuing contracts for consistently meeting our client’s demands by being on time and under budget. Construction and Contract Administration RAI has maintained a reputation among our clients and contractors of being responsive throughout the construction phase. As such, we are known for the quality of our work. To achieve this, we are clear and concise on our specifications, consistent and timely in our support for the contractor during the construction phase. We view construction administration as an extension of architecture, therefore our team members who develop and document our designs, also perform construction administration services. Building Cost Estimates APPROACH/METHODOLOGY RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Consulting Services Site Analysis and Consultation RAI has frequently been retained as consultant in order to provide a suite of site analysis services. Our experience allows us to offer professional advice on many aspects of site analysis, and our relationship with our engineering consultants further extends the services which we can provide to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Sustainable Design Sustainable design is among the core values that we at RAI strive for in every project. Our architecture employs passive strategies at every opportunity, our close work with our engineers allow us to make informed decisions on selection the most efficient environmental systems, and our associated LEED credentials are capable of providing you with any sustainable certifications which you may require. Code Analysis Being an authority on the subject of building codes is one of RAI’s unique qualifications that sets us apart from many offices. Our founding principal, Mike Rodriguez, FAIA, is a recognized expert with the Florida Building Code, the American with Disabilities Act, the Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction, the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and the Fair Housing Act. His deep knowledge and background of code analysis have positioned him within many teaching engagements on the topic including those in which he teaches the code to building officials and fellow professionals. Project Reviews At RAI, our thorough internal peer review process combined with our expertise is often recognized by others, to the extent that our firm is regularly asked to provide peer review services by other architects, developers and multi-national companies.
