' Pxo�essjonah Generat Enginearinq Consultant V RFQ No. 06-12-02 ' Quality Control: The quality control of roadway /drainage projects covers several elements that collectively assure that a sound product and the required services are provided. All engineering documents shall meet the established standards and guidelines set by the City, County, State, and Federal governing agencies. A quality control plan shall be defined and approved for each project that highlights the process, time durations of activities (peer review, independent reviews, check lists, etc.) and the standards and requirements by which the engineering documents of the project are to abide by. In addition, a constructability review will assure that any proposed improvements can be ' carried into the construction phase of the project. A specific item that should not be overlooked in the quality control review and hence design process is the maintenance of the final roadway after construction is complete. It is important that the City's Maintenance Division of Public Works have the resources (contract, equipments, and personnel) to maintain all elements of the proposed project's improvements. In addition to the control of the quality of the product(s) that result from the engineering services, the engineering services themselves should go through a quality review to assure that specified work is being done at a high level and to the satisfaction of the City. Routine surveys performed by person(s) not specifically involved in the project will be conducted to assure unbiased performance evaluations. The quality control officer for MEI is Sergio Alfonso, Jr., P.E., Vice President, who has 30 years of experience in traffic and highway design projects in south Florida. ' Project Management Approach: Our Project Management approach begins with the selection of an experienced professional that has managed many similar successful projects in highway design, that is goal- oriented, a great communicator, and understands the coordination efforts required to "get the job done.' The person that we have selected to fill the position is Ramon Soria, P.E. Mr. Soria has over 23 years of experience managing major construction projects throughout Florida. Projects have varied from miscellaneous designs including paving, drainage, signing and marking, and lighting to major reconstruction including elevated structures, interchanges, culverts, etc. Mr. Soria is a good communicator and concensus builder with many years of experience in public I' speaking. As President of Marlin Engineering, Inc. and your Project Manager, he will have all the resources required at his disposition for this project. Our Project Manager will coordinate with the Task Managers, which will perform the tasks related to the project. Mr. ' Soria, will work with each of the Task Managers to complete the individual tasks on the schedule and in a manner consistent with the goals of the project. Task Managers will also have to interrelate on multidiscipline projects. Priorities will be established by the Project Manager for the completion of the tasks on each project. He must ' constantly advise the task managers how the completion of their work affects other task managers (i.e. surveying affects design). The Project Manager will keep the close relationship between task managers in order to achieve the common objective. The Project Manager will have the ability to add special resources or remove resources to meet the required schedule without going over budget. Our Project Manager will work closely with other governmental ' agencies. Mr. Soria is very knowledgeable of regulatory requirements and City policies that may concern the project. Mr. Soria will also work closely with utility companies alongside our utility coordinator, Alejandro Quevedo, to ensure timely conflict resolution and thus avoid schedule impacts. Project planning and control are essential elements of the success of the project and are activities for which the Project Manager is directly responsible. Mr. Soria will develop a project schedule using either Primavera or Microsoft Project. The schedule will determine the relationship of different tasks to each other and schedule these tasks so the project is carried out logically and efficiently. For budget management, Mr. Soria will maintain budget controls of the design contract through the constant monitoring of budget reports. Construction budgets will also be analyzed at the 60% complete phase. This will allow the Project Manager to make adjustments in the Design to meet the allocated ' funds for the project or increase the allocated funds if the City desires. Understanding human resources required on a specific project is an important part of staying within schedule and budget. At the time of negotiating a work order with the City, the Project Manager and Task Manager experience in understanding the requirements of the project will lead to an adequate man -power utilization. Mr. Soria will be able to adjust human resources accordingly to ensure client ' satisfaction. 3,. Project Staffing ' The Marlin Engineering Team is composed of highly specialized Task Managers and a Project Manager. For example, our Highway Design Department is led by Naldo Gonzalez who is the Task Manager. He has a staff of ten designers, three of which are Project Engineers with management experience and drainage design experience. Our ' sewer design and lift station design engineer, Mr. Guido van Meek, P.E., has over 35 years of experience performing water and sewer design projects. We have developed the following table which addresses the requirements of the RFP for the key personnel assigned to this project. This team will be led by Ramon Soria, P.E. whom has 23 years of ' MARLI ��NE f rN 1
