The <br />understanding of project scope and preliminary project timeline will be provided to the City for review and <br />approval prior to the CGA internal project "Kick-off Meeting". This "Kick-off Meeting" will occur after the <br />initial project award meeting between City staff and the CGA project manager. <br /> <br />The Project Manager will also be responsible for assigning tasks to the various departments within CGA <br />and also to any applicable sub-consultants. At the "Kick-off Meeting", the team will be introduced to the <br />scope, the budget and the timeline. The Project Manager will define the various elements of the projects <br />and describe the quality control/quality assurance requirements at this meeting. The team's Project <br />Manager will periodically review the progress of the project to assure meeting the project timeline and <br />budget as initially approved by the City. The Project Manager will then update City Staff of the project <br />progress. <br /> <br />Regular project meetings will be held with City staff for all phases of the project. The CGA attendees present <br />at the meetings will be dependent on the complexity and the phase of the project. These meetings will be <br />focused on adherence to the project timeline, quality control, budget, and on the resolution of any <br />outstanding issues. <br /> <br />Close attention to the budgetary constraints of available funding will be a primary focus of the CGA team. In <br />addition, value engineering analyses will playa critical role in insuring the most efficient design possible. <br />No work will be added to the project without review and agreement by both the City and the CGA project <br />manager; such review will include cost and time impacts in order to identify alternative solutions which <br />can maintain the project's budget. An initial review of the long range estimate will be conducted as one of <br />the first work items under this contract. Verifying the estimated work against the agreed upon project <br />scope will establish the baseline cost for construction. Just as in the design controls stated above, no <br />additions to the scope will be made without a review by the City and the CGA project manager. <br /> <br />CGA's project management approach makes quality control an integral part of the project. Thorough and <br />diligent quality control has a direct effect on keeping the project on time and on budget. The quality control <br />concept is a major agenda item at the kickoff meeting with the design team. All team meetings will address <br />the quality by measuring progress against the City's expectations. The team will meet all product require- <br />ments, technical, budget, and schedule or take immediate corrective action to bring the project back in line. <br /> <br />Weekly progress meetings are supplemented by a peer review, where a design group not assigned to the <br />particular assignment will review the plans with a fresh perspective. This quality review is performed as <br />part of our quality assurance program. CGA has instituted the policy of a multi-disciplined review of the <br />product before it is released to the client to ensure adherence to the big picture and to counteract any <br />potential lack of congruence in the overall product. <br /> <br />In addition, the CGA team will review the project from a "Constructability" of design perspective in order to <br />meet the City's goals and objectives and to maintain a firm grasp on the costs associated with each project. <br />The "Constructability" of a design is an important facet to consider during each phase of a design's <br />development; however, it is most poignant when a design is nearing substantial completion (90% plans), <br />where it undergoes an in-house constructability review by our CEI and Construction Management <br />Departments. This review specifically ensures potential problems in the field during construction are <br />evaded or minimized. <br /> <br />This process has effectively allowed us to meet past client budgets and timelines.
