WHY THE B&A TEAM Multi-Pronged Permit Approach - Third, we implement a multi-pronged permitting strategy where paving, grading and drainage permits are processed in parallel with respect to the water and sewer improvement permits and environmental permits. This approach allows us to rapidly move the plans through agencies resulting in an abridged permitting phase. When required, we can assign staff to meet with the regulators and assist them with the permit review. In some cases this is necessary due to the large permitting back logs that exist at the agencies. Verify Modifications Requested by Agencies - Every modification to the plans requested by a permitting agency is carefully considered by the Project Manager for necessity, conflicts with other applicable codes as well as compliance with Department standards and specifications prior to being incorporated onto the plans. Documentation - All meetings and telephone conversations will be documented with minutes and distributed to all concerned. We believe that this is a critical necessity because of the high turnover rate experienced by the regulatory agencies. To maintain continuity from one reviewer to another, avoid delays and prevent being forced to implement additional revisions not required by the previous reviewer proper documentation is critical. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Successful project construction administration is defined by how well contractor request for information (RFI) are processed and addressed as well as managing the close-out of the project. MANAGING REVIEW OF CONTRACTOR'S SUBMITTALS The main concept behind managing request for information (RFI) is the time it takes for the Engineer to reply to the Contractor and to properly address the concerns on the first go-around without creating further confusion. The very nature of an RFI is related to the Contractor's limited time to properly evaluate a set of construction documents prior to beginning construction and most of the time these can be answered by the Engineer with very little effort; however, utility conflicts, design errors, and other field related conflicts can delay a project's progress if not taken care of immediately. RFls are an integral part of a construction project and if properly managed are an excellent tool to track and document project issues. As a result the following are key points that we take into consideration prior to beginning a construction project: The Construction Manager - The manager will define the success and failure of a project's communication tract. Our Construction Manager possesses the necessary management skills to communicate with all the members of the project as well as a practical background on projects with similar scopes of work. Our construction Manager's experience and project maturity will guarantee that the issues will be addressed in the most direct and effective manner. 8 ... www.bermelloajamil.com
