The active projects are valued at approximately $500 million. Quality improvement opportunities can be found by having the ability to identify constructability issues and minimize unforeseen conditions which will mitigate the attendant impact on project costs and schedules. The City recognizes the value of pursuing a two-pronged approach to implement more rigorous quality control initiatives utilizing dedicated in-house resources, as well as outside expertise from construction industry professionals that would be pre-selected as a result of the Request for Qualifications (RFa) selection process. The Right of Way (ROW) portion of the program has been subdivided into several neighborhood projects located throughout the City that are in various stages of design, bid, and construction. The probable cost estimates and construction drawings are developed by the design consultants during the design phase of the work and reviewed by the stakeholder City Departments prior to the issuance of the lnvitation to Bid, (lTB). The proposed quality control enhancements would utilize construction industry professionals, as needed, during various phases of a project to provide construction cost estimates; constructability reviews; identify value engineering alternatives; review pricing on bid submittals and provide overall input on construction quality control issues. This involvement of independent industry professionals during the design process to properly address the residents' needs, review alternate construction means and methods, establish quality assurance/quality control procedures, provide comprehensive peer review of construction documents to identify design deficiencies, identify potential value engineering alternatives and establish accurate project timelines, will allow the City to more precisely identify capital budget requirements. Accurately identifying the monetary requirements for construction allows the City to forecast the monies required prior to issuance of any necessary construction bonds and/or capital budget requirements.

C2. Statement of Work Required I. BACKGROUND The City's Capital lmprovement Program has grown from approximately $400 million to over $1.8 billion, The active projects are valued at approximately $500 million. Quality improvement opportunities can be found by having the ability to identify constructability issues and minimize unforeseen conditions which will mitigate the attendant impact on pgect costs and schedules. The City recognizes the value of pursuing a two-pronged approach to implement more rigorous quality control initiatives utilizing dedicated in-house resources, as well as outside expertise from construction industry professionals that would be pre-selected as a result of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) selection process. 59 The Right of Way (ROW) portion of the program has been subdivided into several neighborhood prolects located throughout the City that are in various stages of design, bid, and construction. The probable cost estimates and construction drawings are developed by the design consultants during the design phase of the work and reviewed by the stakeholder City Departments prior to the issuance of the lnvitation to Bid, (rTB) The proposed quality control enhancements would utilize construction industry professionals, as needed, during various phases of a project to provide construction cost estimates; constructability reviews; identify value engineering alternatives; review pricing on bid submittals and provide overall input on construction quality control issues. This involvement of independent industry professionals during the design process to properly address the residents' needs, review alternate construction means and methods, establish quality assurance/quality control procedures, provide comprehensive peer review of construction documents to identify design deficiencies, identify potential value engineering alternatives and establish accurate project timelines, will allow the City to more precisely identify capital budget requirements. Accurately identifying the monetary requirements for construction allows the City to forecast the monies required prior to issuance of any necessary construction bonds and/or capital budget requirements. II, STATEMENT OF WORK REQUIRED. The successful propose(s) will be required to provide the City with constructability reviews, value engineering analysis to identify potential cost savings, technical specification reviews, identify alternate construction means and methods, establish accurate project scheduling, and establishing quality assurance/quality control guidelines. The successful proposers will meet with the design team and the City during the development of a project and participate in the review of bids or proposals as needed. Furthermore, the successful proposers will be required, but not limited to:. Provide detailed quantity take off of materials required to complete various projects in accordance with Technical Specifications and design documents,o Provide detailed estimate of labor and material costs in an Excel spreadsheet format showing unit prices, based on past comparable unit costs specifically associated with the South Florida Marketo Provide detailed constructability review with recommendations for alternate means and methods of construction activities, value engineering, scheduling and construction sequencing that will potentially reduce costs of the project,o Provide a cost comparison to a recognized construction cost estimating servlce adjusted for South Florida construction, (RS Means or equivalent). The estimates will be contained in a single spreadsheet showing cost comparisons individually tabulated.o ldentify any comparable prolects, including completion dates that were used to develop the construction cost estimate,. Support City Staff and participate in the value engineering reviews with contractor.. Support City Staff in the bidding and award phase of pqects. 60 APPENDIX D MIAMIBEACH Specio!
