Quality Control Review: Quality Control Reviews occur prior to review Submittals and at key
<br />points in the project schedule. During these reviews, the entire sets of documents are checked by
<br />an experienced, a licensed architectwho has had major experience in the design of similar projects
<br />to ensure a "questioning character" in this process. Major emphasis is placed on Constructability
<br />and on satisfying the operational requirements of the user and thoroughness of documentation. As
<br />apart of this project, BOA will commit Mr. Leo Arteaga, Quality Review Officer. Mr. Arteaga will be
<br />ideal for this role because of his extensive municipal and Public Works experience and familiarity
<br />with working on municipal Community Center facilities and ADA Compliance. Mr. Arteaga will
<br />review all deliverables at, 50%, and 95% completion. This involvement is formalized and part of
<br />the quality control manual procedures. We are committed to providing quality design services
<br />and trust that our past work with numerous other local cities is indicative of that commitment.
<br />Project Standards: From our experience of over 2000 architectural Public Works projects, BOA
<br />has developed its own Project Standard that can be customized to the Client that enhances
<br />quality control of bid documents and the construction process. Project Standards include:
<br />A. Construction document detail drawings: With the input of past governmental clients, BOA has
<br />developed, refined, and field tested over 300 Standard construction details that are geared for
<br />public works renovation/addition projects. We have Standard, field tested, construction document
<br />details for just about every field condition possible; accessible lavatory counters, transitions
<br />of existing material to new material, restrooms upgrade, signage, railings, entry doors, stairs,
<br />ramps, site work, parking lot, window/door replacement, roof repair, building expansion joints,
<br />new flooring, new addition to existing, HVAC replacement etc.
<br />B. BOA has developed a standard facilities modernization equipment list e.g., types of flooring, new
<br />handrails, access lifts, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, drinking fountains, furniture, restroom
<br />accessories, ramp equipment, roof materials, etc., complete with manufacturer Model # and their
<br />acceptable approved equal. The Standard equipment list have been field tested and proven to
<br />be of high quality, durability, parts availability, and acceptable to the many past municipal clients.
<br />C. BOA has developed a standard keynoting system with over 150 items that addresses virtually
<br />every facility field condition and ADA Compliance conditions and many specialize retrofit/repair
<br />conditions. These standard keynotes have been field tested and refined, and have proven to be
<br />clear and concise to construction contractors.
<br />6. WORK PLAN
<br />At the beginning of every project, we create a written work plan showing every phase of design
<br />from conception to project close-out. This provides our staff and you, the client, a `road map" of
<br />what we do at each phase of your project. Due to page limitations, our Work Plan is available
<br />upon request.
