<br /> ® Approach & Methodoloqy Plan
<br /> ® From a Contract Administration perspective, our initial objective is to establish with the
<br /> ® City the preferred means of communication (in our case we utilize e-mails and FTP �--_ <
<br /> sites), and we establish the point of contact from the City (the assigned Pr.ojecfj n J
<br /> ® Manager) and any other points of contact for accounting,insurance matters, etc. ^ 8
<br /> ® _ � �
<br /> From a Project Management perspective, we prefer to keep the same individuals -� _' _
<br /> ,It
<br /> ® workingon a single project from the initial client contact through the s
<br /> g g project close- .. 'r s �r
<br /> out. Sometimes governmental agencies change "players" such as the City's project ,ti'` .Z
<br /> 5 managers, etc.This may bring frustration to the end users,etc... The architect's Project =– I "
<br /> Manager may serve as the only link to the prior history on a project. In one of our prior "—'-� - ''
<br /> ® projects at the Airport, we (the architect) were the only remaining "player" in a 11 ,
<br /> ® project that lasted 10 years to project close-out. Because we recognize this and we " •, _
<br /> are personally involved in all our projects, we have a high level of client satisfaction r• '/,/1� 5'
<br /> ® during the transition stages and at the end of project. G util`

<br /> ® Programming/Design Input r -
<br /> To begin with any project, we may assist the owner in determining Priorities and/or _ _
<br /> • Goals for a project, if not already done, or we may begin directly with the _ - -, ‘-- -
<br /> preparation of a programming plan, or a conceptual plan based on comments from
<br /> ® the Owner's Representative and any User Departments. Our conceptual plans are kl, 1 '
<br /> ® typically created through team-wide input in the form of a charrette. _ �,`
<br /> _�
<br /> ® Goals need to be pre-determined before full design and construction documents can t'
<br /> be prepared. Some design criteria may be green design, cost, ease of maintenance. . 1T a-
<br /> 2-
<br /> ® ease of use, etc. All of these factors will impact the client's overall satisfaction at the -- i
<br /> ® end of the project.Therefore,we listen carefully to our client's comments at the onset -
<br /> of a project and merge the client's goals and objectives into the design. .?.---14.,.-F. }''

<br /> ® Site Analysis/Determining the Issues :V/-- 4j% ,
<br /> However, sometimes the scope of work is not well defined by the client, and in fact, -
<br /> ® that becomes the task- to accurately detail a scope of work and associated cost -
<br /> ® estimate. We have a great deal of experience in this area. For example, in a recent C}-
<br /> project, Greynolds Park, we were provided with a "Priority List" however, the list itself --
<br /> ® did not indicate the true scope of what needed to get done and how that translated :4,"� -7::
<br /> into architecture/construction.Therefore,we performed an extensive site analysis that . a
<br /> ® included detailed diagrams of all the existing means of circulation through the site, •J;,. �, _
<br /> ® including pedestrian, vehicular, bike trails, and ADA paths. Through our analysis, we _-
<br /> determined that there were several gaps in physical connection, (by way of ADA r ir< < -
<br /> -
<br /> ® path) throughout their historic park, and this became the highest priority for the _ ,
<br /> County to address. �- � 'r�••
<br /> ® *S" r
<br /> After we have completed our initial site analysis to determine all of the challenges ,_. 'Z �' \
<br /> ® and opportunities that a site may offer, the design charette commences. From a t!.t 1'
<br /> ® Design Excellence perspective, we work closely with the City's Project Manager to r N.
<br /> ti
<br /> ensure that the architectural aesthetics is what the City will be expecting to have for •-,-ere��i/ _ r
<br /> ® one of their City projects. We propose an architectural aesthetic and give the City's " /y ,
<br /> assigned Project Manager and the users the freedom to provide input on the design. t 1�. ' = ,a
<br /> ® It's all about collaboration. We assess the needs and provide a design solution that v.. —="'- _ +_ -
<br /> ® addresses the needs yet is efficient in terms of cost and maintenance upkeep and is
<br /> consistent with the City Beautiful Architectural aesthetics. Greynolds Park Site
