Tab 5 E. Qualification Information and <br />Assigned Personnel <br />Continuing Professional Consulting Services <br />Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01 <br />2-Civil Engineers <br />Quality and Cost Control: <br />Our quality control process focuses on eliminating omissions and confusion within the <br />construction documentation process, thereby minimizing addendums and change <br />orders during bidding and construction. <br />We implemented a Technical Quality Control Manual, which provides each employee <br />with a comprehensive system of checklists for every aspect of production. The <br />responsible employee reviews the checklists and ensures that the deliverable complies with all items <br />covered in the checklist. Once the deliverable is completed, it is passed to an independent reviewer who <br />once again will review the deliverable and ensure compliance with checklist and design and technical <br />standards. The deliverable is redlined for corrections, returned to the responsible employee for <br />incorporation of corrections prior to final delivery. Our quality control reviewers are the most experienced <br />professionals of the firm. <br />Having worked with numerous municipalities, and successfully implemented a variety of projects <br />throughout South Florida it is a testament to the quality of work effort that exemplifies the firm. Since the <br />firm’s existence, we have not been subject to any claims or lawsuits. For over 17 years all Municipalities <br />have been claim free! <br />Cost Control <br />Cost Control begins with the formulation of the budget, which process is initiated before design has begun. <br />It is based on Sunny Isles Beach’s definition of the project scope. Using this information, we develop a <br />budget based on our historical data on the costs of similar existing projects and update this data by <br />factoring in escalation and regional cost variations <br />As the project moves through the design phase, the budget is expanded into sub-system costs which <br />become the cost model or yardstick against which costs are measured. An estimate is prepared at the <br />completion of the Design Development phase and the Construction Document phase as more specific <br />information becomes available. The estimate will be updated periodically during the Construction <br />Document phase, as well as at completion. If variations occur between the estimates and the cost model, <br />the discrepancy is evaluated, and appropriate action taken to correct it. <br />Page 22
