PROPOSAL <br />Space Planning and Architectural Consulting Services <br />RFP No. 20-040 <br />• Design Development: We believe that the best results <br />occur when the clientlowner participates fully in all phases <br />of the project. We strongly encourage meetings and group <br />sessions with the project stakeholders to discuss the <br />project's direction and goals. It is the owner who has the <br />most intimate knowledge of their vision, needs, and <br />strategic objectives for success. <br />• Management Plan: IDS is familiar with all PMI Standards <br />and works within their guidelines in order to ensure project <br />success from design through completion. <br />• Project Delivery: IDS is prepared and equipped to <br />provide the request services to the City in a timely manner <br />and on relatively short notice so as to enable the City to <br />meet critical deadlines and schedules. <br />0 Schedule Control: We will update the schedule and work plan regularly based upon the actual hours <br />worked that are tracked by our internal accounting system. In this way, we can adjust resources to <br />ensure that the project milestones are completed on schedule. We also have an excellent record <br />working on fast -track projects. In these projects, it is essential for the design team to meet the critical <br />path milestones that precede project completion. <br />0 Cost Control: As design progresses, the more -detailed documents can be virtually overlaid over <br />previous ones, and changes/additions are immediately visible on screen. This ensures that our <br />estimates at logical milestones during design (SD, DID, CD, etc.), can execute the later levels of design <br />faster and more accurately. <br />When tasked with value engineering on the same project, our team members will go back and modify <br />the original takeoffs to determine the less expensive methods or materials to construct the project. <br />Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance has always been our company's strong commitment. We <br />emphasize establishing and maintaining technical and professional expertise among our staff and in <br />their work product. All our professionals are encouraged to maintain memberships in professional <br />organizations, to attend professional development conferences, and to sustain proficiency within the <br />field of engineering. <br />As a testimony to our audited Q/A Q/C procedures, IDS Group accomplished ISO 9001 Certification <br />AA IDS GROUP Page 9 <br />25G-24 <br />
