RFQ# 16-12-01 | Professional Planning and Zoning Consulting ServicesSunny Isles Beach <br />TAB D <br />PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING <br />WHY CGA Since its inception, CGA has served as a profession-al consultant to various municipalities throughout Florida, including Bay Harbor Islands, Cutler Bay, Dania Beach, Delray Beach, Doral, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Homestead, Indian Creek Village, Key West, Medley, Miami Gardens, Miami Springs, North Lauderdale, North Miami Beach, Oakland Park, Palm Beach, Palmetto Bay, Parkland, Pembroke Pines, Riv-iera Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Surfside, Tamarac and Weston, many of which have been repeat clients for more than twenty (20) years.During this process, The City will receive multiple re-sponses from licensed, insured and qualified firms. Many planning and engineering firms can obtain a license, insurance, and a handful of clients; however, it takes an Exceptional Staff managed by a dedicated leader to maintain high standards. <br />Cutting Edge TechnologyAt CGA it is important to provide the best end user ex-perience for our clients. To provide cutting edge ser- <br />vices, we have implemented systems company-wide that streamline processes or add value to our clients. These systems include: Leica C-10 3D Scanner, capable of obtaining 50,000 points of data per second; Fleet of 145 new vehicles equipped with mobile computing systems and GPS trackers; In-house software devel-opment team that is capable of customizing software to meet the everchanging needs of our clients; Ajera Project & Resource Management System; Primavera and Microsoft Project scheduling software; Skysite, a newly implemented cloud based project management system.We pride ourselves on obtaining and mastering new technology ahead of our competitors, which enables us to provide an Exceptional Service to our clients.CGA utilizes Ajera to manage the full project lifecycle of each project. As one of our project management tools, the system controls all aspects of the project includ-ing accounting, project management, and resource utilization in realtime. This system is web based al-lowing both internal and remotely placed employees full function capabilities via any internet connection. The system not only keeps a “live” accounting of all our projects' budgets, earned to date, work in prog-ress and estimate to complete, but it also allows Proj-ect Managers to assign and resource load our staff and projects. The system allows for twoway communica-tion between staff and managers regarding the project status and individual workload. <br />Staff Certifications & AchievementsOur only asset which could surpass our technology is the knowledge and experience of our in-house staff. We currently employ over 350 employees who provide 22 distinct services. A large number of our staff have worked for municipal governments prior to entering their careers in the consulting world. This mixed expe-rience allows our team to envision and avoid areas of concern prior to them becoming issues. The highlights of our project management system is shown below: <br />7
