Xxxxxx has an excellent record of exceptional, reliable, quality design projects completed within schedules and budgets. Our design approach has also proven effective with alternative project delivery methods including Construction Manager at Risk and Design-Build. We are proud of our consistent record and will continue this level of service for the City of Avondale. We maintain a staff of experienced engineers specifically committed to quality control and quality assurance on our design projects. Our products must satisfy our QA Team prior to submittal to our external clients - you. The QA Team reviews projects for sound concepts, constructibility, realistic cost estimating, and accuracy of construction documents. We consider our QA Team as a fine filter that allows only the best project deliverables through. You will benefit from this commitment to quality. A qualified project manager is important for project success. When an assignment is received as part of this contract, our Contract Manager will evaluate the best project manager and engineers to staff the project team.

Problematic issues will be identified and evaluated, and timely consensus will be reached to keep the project moving forward. Effective problem resolution begins and ends with good communication and is germane tx Xxxxxx’s project management tenets. € Development of a detailed, realistic project schedule (MS Project), which will be discussed, updated, and submitted monthly to your Project Manager to ensure conformance to the project timeline and milestones. € Coordination with City staff regarding design alternatives, design criteria, performance standards, and material and equipment selection. This information and other pertinent project development elements are compiled in a project design report. € Xxxxxe’s Quality Assurance Team conducts quality/ constructibility reviews on all documents during design to reduce your review effort. Our quality control program emphasizes sound engineering, practical constructibility, and clear presentation. € Investigation of cost-effective design elements through evaluation of life-cycle cost, benefit-cost analysis, and future operation and maintenance concerns. € Opinions of probable construction cost are generated during project development. Costs are based on a combination of sources, including the City’s recent bid-cost data, our in-house bid-cost database, and recent bid-cost data from other jurisdictions in close proximity.
