Cp D. UNDERSTANDING THE NEED The professional services requested by the City of Santa Ana include all the disciplines associated with full design and construction services and scope that runs from project inception to completion and close-out. All these are services that Cap Architecture and IMEG typically provide to our clients; some projects require a limited amount while others will be all-inclusive. Typically, we begin a project systematically with our client in the following sequences, depending on the scope. Scope: Our design team will reiterate the scope and intent to develop a BOD (basis of design) and procedure to best meet the project objectives. It will include verification of existing documents and site conditions to assess existing code and current conditions to recommend the most efficient and practical solutions. We place emphasis on acquiring information on existing conditions, via physical inspections, existing documentation and coordination with client information. Documents: Comprehensive design/bid/construction packages adhering to practical, established planning principals and technical criteria will be created. The documents, in compliance with the relevant state and city code standards, will effectively acknowledge and integrate all code requirements as they relate to the project scope and will include specifications and cost estimates. Full coordination between all disciplines is conducted throughout the project, during document phases and especially at phase delivery to the client. Standard administrative procedure during this phase will include regular meetings and notations, and written documentation of all discussions, changes, directives and observations relating to the project. Approval Process: Meetings will be held with city officials and government compliance entities as required to maintain the agreed -upon schedule and ensure the permit process will proceed smoothly. Construction Support: We also provide Construction Administration support during the bid and construction phase to include review of shop drawings, RFIs and submittals, field observation with notation and photographic documentation and final close out documents at the completion of the project. Closely coordinated planning, effective execution and time management is critical to the successful completion of all projects. Our team will bring all its diverse experience in the field of engineering, infrastructure systems and construction management to each project and incorporate collaborative efforts for an effectual completion. Cap architecture understands the draft scope of work services addresses various projects of varying functions and facilities with very different requirements. In addition, the scope also includes, for all projects, a focus on cost estimates, specifications, materials and code compliance. The majority of our projects to date have included all of the above components which are essential to any complete construction set of documents. Protect Management Approach: Our project approach is based on our understanding of the client's scope of work. To obtain a more accurate idea of the scope, we will always walk the site, discuss options with the client and follow up 256EA32
