Inc. . . f ,.. - ~ , '" ~l ----- ...... Conceptual Design. A two to three-week period of initial meetings, research, and conceptual design detail, followed by a review by the team and stakeholders of the concept(s), followed by the refinement of a selected final concept. Schematic Design. We will schedule an accelerated period to prepare 50 percent schematic design development documents, followed by an internal two-week review. An initial opinion of probable cost (OPC) will be prepared, During this phase, we will also focus on the following efforts: research and data collection, public design workshops, translation and refinement of the park plans for the creation of alternative concepts and an overall master plan, and final documentation of the park master plan, Design Development. Upon the review and approval of the schematic design documents, we will further refine your vision with greater detail to the plans and update the OPC. We will then determine a realistic schedule for the 100 percent completion of the park's design development documents, Construction Document Preparation - Final Design Phase. The Kimley-Horn team will prepare complete construction documents suitable for competitive bidding. Opinion of probable construction costs will be updated as the project details are developed. Pre-application meetings will be held with review agencies and permit applications will be prepared and submitted, Public involvement will continue in this phase to inform the public of project progress. It is important that we keep residents informed to meet those goals set during the preliminary design phase. Milestones during the final design phase include a kick-off meeting to authorize the start of final design, confirmation of project scope, objectives, and schedule; design reviews at completion of 30, 60, and 90 percent plans; a public meeting to present the project design, updates, schedule, and funding plan; and permit applications, Deliverables during this phase include complete construction documents, drawings, and specifications suitable for competitive bidding. Applications for necessary project permits will also be provided and permit approvals will be pursued, Graphics and presentation materials used at public meetings will be provided, and when necessary, grant applications will be prepared. Construction Phase Assistance. The final step will be to build the project. Kimley-Horn will provide bidding assistance and construction phase services for the City. Milestones during this phase include advertisement of the construction project; notice to proceed with construction; and certification that construction is complete and in compliance with the plans and specifications. Deliverables in this phase include complete record drawings and construction certification. While these project milestones are key steps toward successful project completion, we believe the best-run projects are those that employ effective communication throughout. We accomplish this by providing weekly status reports (with meetings, when desired) that emphasize thorough coordination and communication with the City. We will: 1, Prepare an up-front public agency action plan and establish project schedules that will help to make project development, design, and construction as easy as possible 2. Review shop-drawing submittals from the selected contractors 3. Hold periodic construction observations during construction. The number and duration of site visits will be determined by the City and the team following the completion of the construction schedule (includes preparation of site observation reports). 4. Respond to contractor's reasonable requests for information (RFls) 5, Review record drawings (prepared by others) 6. Eventually determine the number of field visits to nurseries in South Florida for the purpose of selecting and tagging plant material for the project. Construction Administration. The Kimley-Horn team will provide construction administration services throughout the project to include: lJ I~ G ~_ n Kimley.Horn ~_U and Associates, Inc. 3-3 URBAN RESOURCE GROUP IlllVllI01l0fKl"'lH.1I0INUIlUSO(UTHIII(
