WORK APPROACHCDIA's approach to project management is focused on Successful Collaboration with project stakeholders,evidenced by the following:

OrganizationCommunication

• Management (i.e. workflow, teams, process)• Sharing, viewing and working as a team to meet the Client's project goalsOur role in providing professional AlE services is to understand and respond to the City's needs and be a

CDIAdirects and coordinates the consultant project team from project implementationloperation to successfulcloseout. The following illustrates this approach, as applied to accessibility barrier removal, one of CDIA's keypractice areas:

SCOPE OF WORKCDIA's project approach is based upon our extensive past experience in assisting private and public entities

in bringing their facilities into compliance with State and Federal accessibility standards. We have successfullyapplied accessibility requirements of the California Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act for abroad spectrum of projects. We propose to use the following Standards and guidelines to determine whatcorrective actions need to be made to bring City facilities into compliance:

Federal Accessibility Guidelines that have yet tobe adopted by Federal agencies subject to theArchitectural Barriers Act and are, therefore, notenforceable.

WORK APPROACH

2009 Draft Final Accessibility Guidelines for OutdoorDeveloped Areas

The Work PlanThe following work plan outlines COlA's approach and methods for providing all services needed to

identify accessibility barriers, and provide design recommendations for solutions, itemized priorities, andestimated costs of repairs. The Work Plan and the proposed schedule are flexible and can be customized to meetthe City's needs.

StaffingCOlA's team will be led by Mr. Glenn Dea (CASp), who has over 14 years of experience in leading ADA

consultant teams, performing accessibility surveys, and providing expertise to public agencies to assist in theresolution of lawsuits, complaints, and claims related to State and Federal access laws.

COlA's team members include highly qualified personnel with CASp and ICC certifications. Our CertifiedAccess Specialists monitor the development of project-assessment reports and compliance design solutions, tomeet client performance requirements and ensure that project deliverables are completed on schedule and underbudget.

Task "A": Field InventorylSite Analysis ReviewlDesign Development

1. Document ReviewTo ensure thorough understanding of the City's facilities, the COlA Team will request from the City

documents listed below. The COlA Team will consider City prioritized projects, opportunities andconstraints, goals and objectives, and design standards, guidelines and policies:

• Existing Americans with Disabilities Act • Public Works related data(ADA) Surveys • Recreation and Park Strategic Plan

• City building permit history of each • Existing topographic maps, civil andproperty, including alterations architectural site plans, building and

• Design and Construction Standards facilities as-builts (CAD and hard copy• Design Guidelines format)• GIS Mapping Information

2. Pre-Survey CoordinationPrior to our field evaluation work, the CDIA Team will meet with City staff to confinn the process of

preparing a Findings and Recommendations Report. Coordination will include confirmation of the scope ofwork and schedule for the field survey and deliverables. CDIA will confirm the written format of theFindings and Recommendations Report.Pre-Survey tasks include the following:

• Preliminary walk-throughs of facilities to confirm scope of work and to help refine our databasedesign

• Verifying accuracy of as-built drawings

CD/ACIlIATlV{ D£5ICN

ASSOCIATES

H-36



• Conducting a "pilot" Findings and Recommendations Report of one of your smaller facilities forpurposes of format review

• Customizing the format! layout of the Findings and Recommendations Report to fit your needs

3. Site AssessmentThe CD/A Team will conduct field evaluations for identified facilities and associated site-work as

requested by the City. CD/A will conduct an analysis of findings from the City's ADA Transition Planprior to implementing accessibility improvements.

A key focus is dialogue with the City to confirm intended phasing of corrections and program-basedapproaches to identified issues. Updates may be necessitated by new standards and codes in effect, changeof construction costs due to market availability, or change in existing site conditions due to construction,weather, or other reasons not previously reported.4. Design Development

CD/A proposes a two-track approach to executing the Design Development Phase of the project. Thisapproach is focused on two deliverables:I) A DD submittal of design plans with approval blocks to document proposed design solutions. CD/A will

confirm with the client if these deliverables should be organized by facility or by City department, forexample, with the aim to facilitate timely dialogue and feedback from City staff and other stakeholders.Key considerations are potential impacts to existing space, circulation and security, and earlyidentification of City programs or staff areas requiring swing space during construction.

2) A "pilot" deliverable of near 100% complete construction documents of a portion of a buildingidentified in the RFQ, for purposes of documentation and format review. This deliverable includes apreliminary assignment of sheet numbers for each design discipline and proposed fixture and equipmentselections (including plumbing fixtures and restroom accessories). This approach initiates early dialoguewith the City to address City documentation standards and obtain early consensus on the organization ofproject information on drawings and specifications.

Task "B": Design

I. Accessibility ImprovementsCD/A will initiate the creative effort to remedy identified barriers. CD/A's proposed Team is comprised

of specialists in the fields of civil, electrical, plumbing and mechanical engineering, facilities repair, needsanalysis, site accessibility, ADA Compliance, space planning, structural design, LEED design, and valueengineering.

CD/A is intimately familiar with ADA Compliance renovation projects. Teamwork and closecoordination among staff, consultants, and the Client are essential to a successful project. Timelyparticipation and response of the Client is absolutely critical if the project is to be successful and "underbudget". The Design Team will be responsible for ensuring that a high degree of coordination occurs andthat project milestones are met. A major priority of the Design Team will be to establish a continuingdialogue with the City and with representatives of interested parties so that our designs will not only resolveaccess barrier issues, but also create an enhanced environment that is well integrated into existing facilities.

CD/ACR[ATIVE OESIGN

H-37



2. Construction DocumentsThe Construction Documents (CD) Phase proceeds from the client's approval of proposed deliverables

in the DD Phase. The CD phase will include quality control reviews occurring prior to Submittals stated inthe RFQ and at key points in the project schedule. During these reviews, the entire set of documents ischecked by an experienced, licensed architect who has had major experience in the design of similarprojects. Major emphasis is placed on constructability, on satisfying the operational requirements of theuser, and on thoroughness of documentation.

We are committed to providing quality design services and trust that our past work with other municipaland public clients is indicative of that commitment.

3. Team MeetingsOur consultant partners playa critical and active role in all phases of the work. The Principal-in-Charge

will coordinate the efforts of consultants with the help of periodic progress meetings to identify open impactissues and to achieve speedy resolution of issues which arise. These meetings are held biweekly in the initialphases of the project, with progress meetings or conference calls at key milestones as the project progresses.

Task "C": Project Management Services during Bidding and Construction

1. COlA Project Management ServicesPrior to the Construction Administration Phase, CD/A encourages early dialogue with the City in the

selection of the project Inspector of Record (lOR). Key considerations are an inspector's familiarity withCity processes and expertise with respect to ADAICBC accessibility requirements. To ensure that the designand technical intent are conveyed to the contractor and that project knowledge is available throughoutconstruction administration, this phase is led by the Principal-in-Charge. CD/A will review shop drawingsas well as attend all job site meetings to resolve design issues. A Senior Project Manager from each of ourconsultants will be assigned to assist the Project Manager and ensure that the highest standards, proceduresand methods of construction are employed. CD/A utilizes an established system to track shop drawings,RFl's, change orders, and documentation of site meetings, so that key decisions are tracked and managedfor the benefit of the Client.

2. Project DocumentationCD/A has expertise in a variety of software programs, including AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit

Architecture, to clearly convey design intent. Our experience as AlE designers of record for numerousbarrier removal and design projects guides and informs our approach to documentation and quality control.Our aim is to provide solutions and management tools that empower clients to develop, implement, andmanage ADA barrier removal plans effectively and with confidence.
