A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Our team will initiate a kick-off meeting for each project with all project stakeholders. Through this interactive and collaborative kick-off meeting, we are able to provide a more detailed project schedule which includes major milestones and deliverables.
Understanding project scope and client expectations early in the process will help determine which deliverables make the most sense for each project.
We believe in designing more than great and functional spaces, we design a process to ensure transparency of expectations between all team members and tailor the deliverables to the needs of each project.
Budget control is of the utmost importance and will be tracked throughout the duration of the design and construction.
MANAGING MULTIPLE TASK ASSIGNMENTS
Our team has proven success managing multiple projects while under on-call contracts. We believe constant communication between team members and design managers is key to providing responsive services to our clients while delivering multiple projects within a similar timeline. As a local studio with 60+ professionals, we have the capacity and bandwidth to properly serve our clients.
A core team will be assigned to each contracted project with skill-sets that match the needs of the project’s scope. In our fast-paced architectural and engineering industry, our team members are equipped with the digital tools required to help organize their tasks, communicate with all team members, coordinate schedules, and staffing to serve our clients.
Through our proactive project approach method, we will ensure continuous communication threads between our design teams, design managers, and clients to ensure deadlines are prioritized appropriately.
2. Describe how your firm determines project deliverables. Also, describe your proposed team’s general approach to managing the assigned on-call projects of various sizes and complexity.
3. Are you familiar with Job Order Contracting projects? How can your firm support a project manager with defining quantities and units of measure?
Yes, our team brings extensive experience in managing Job Order projects of varying types and sizes. We understand the complexities that come with different project scopes and are adept at navigating challenges to ensure successful outcomes.
Our team’s expertise allows us to tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of each project while maintaining efficiency and quality. The key aspect of our process is our collaborative approach, which establishes a clear and strategic roadmap from the outset of the project. This roadmap serves as the foundation for the project, providing a structured framework that aligns stakeholders and guides decision-making. Our method not only enhances coordination but also allows for flexibility in adapting to varying project needs.
Dawn Hart, Design Manager, will oversee the budget and schedule, ensuring milestones are met efficiently. She will maintain in-depth communication with ADOA, providing weekly updates to keep stakeholders informed and engaged. With extensive experience working on numerous job order contracts, she understands the nuances of managing multiple project scopes under tight timelines. Her leadership and strategic oversight will help mitigate risks, address challenges proactively, and drive the project toward a successful completion.

We understand that standard turn-around times may vary depending upon factors such as type of request, number of requests required by the contractor, and other external undefined market factors. Our team will leverage their understanding of the City requirements, excellent project management experience, and reputation to do our best to fast-track the turn-around times.
Below is a list of turn-around times that can be anticipated.
• Design Requests/Changes: Case by Case Basis: Our teams approach will be to expedite all design changes in an efficient and detailed manner.
| • | RFIs: 5 days maximum |
| • | Submittals: 5-10 days maximum |
5. List standard turn-around time for design requests/changes, RFI’s, submittals, and differing situations that may impact time constraints.
6. Detail your firm’s quality control process related to specific plans, specifications and construction documents.
Our quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) process describes methods for developing, preparing, coordinating, checking, verifying, reviewing, approving, issuing, revising, and filing design construction, procurement and other project documents.
Through our comprehensive QA/QC process we improve the quality of our documentation. We have a reputation for producing excellent contract documents, and our projects have had one of the lowest Change Order rates in the industry.
Quality Assurance and Control is owned by the project team and is integral to every project phase. Primary responsibility for planning, executing, coordinating and reviewing project work resides with the team, with ultimate responsibility shared by our Design Manager and direct oversight from the Project Architect.
Our team will be responsible for ensuring that the work is properly coordinated, and that appropriate review procedures have been followed.
In addition, we are responsible for verifying the following:

| • | Professional technical standards, regulations, and codes |
| • | Sufficiency of the work for the intended use, including |
degree of accuracy, detail and definition, quantity of information transmitted, and safety
| • | Economy and appropriateness of design |
| • | Functional requirements such as constructability and |
accessibility for operation and maintenance
• Completeness including accurate cross-referencing to other drawings, details, or specifications
| • | Coordination among technical disciplines |
| • | All project deliverables including computations, drawings, |
specifications, cost estimates and reports will be checked, initialed, and dated by the Project Architect, prior to submittal. Records will be kept confirming that verification has been performed and to validate that the documents comply with project requirements.
