CONTROL PLAN
2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
All coordination between our project manager and your organization will be
documented to as much detail as written word and sketches permit. All meetings
and telephone conversations are followed with written confirmation of all items
discussed and decisions made at that meeting. All verbal instructions from our
clients are confirmed in writing. This documentation is in the form of
confirmation notices numbered in sequence so that continuity of numbered
notices assures each recipient that they have all of the coordination
documentation on the project. We do not miss any of our clients directions due to
misinformation. We want Government user input into the design.
3. REVIEW MEETINGS:
We have periodic formal coordination review meetings during design with all
disciplines involved. These meetings allow each design discipline to be informed
of the actions of other disciplines, and allow information flow concerning actions
of one discipline affecting other disciplines. All project designs are coordinated
by the Architect (or other lead discipline) for purposes of overall coordination and
integrating the various disciplines into the project. Our clients are always
welcome to and encouraged to attend these meetings. Client input at these
meetings is an important part of the design process working to satisfy the needs of
the client. The principal of the firm who is the project manager conducts this
meeting. All principals attend design review meetings. The principals of the firm
approve or disapprove the design concept at each stage of the design process that
retains control in detail by the principals of the firm.
6. CADD:
Our CAD systems have greatly enhanced the appearance of our drawings. This
has allowed us to utilize standard proven details recalled from our central files or
from other projects with great ease. This allows greater plan coordination
between disciplines insofar as locations of features and equipment is concerned.
This allows us to perfect our standard designs.
7. SPECIFICATIONS:
We have used the SPECSINTACT program for the last six years. We subscribe
to the CCB and get the up-dated CD-ROMs have all the DoD specifications from
the various branches that participate in the SPECSINTACT program. We have
the latest versions of Microsoft® Word and Wordperfect® to use as word
processing software. We have prepared specifications for more than 500
federally funded projects during the past 33 years.
8. EXPERIENCE:
SEI completed more than 30 projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; more
than 70 projects for NASA Johnson Space Center; more than 80 projects for the
Dallas Postal Service; more than 20 projects for Exxon USA; more than 10
projects for The Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston, during the past 10 years. These projects were all
completed successfully with respect to cost control, quality of work and
compliance with project design schedules. Our record of being selected as the AE
of record for many different projects over the past 30 years for these repeat clients
plus many other different clients should indicate that our approach to quality
control is the correct approach that satisfies the needs of our clients. For the last
few years we have been the AE or record for the Department of State, National
Imagery & Mapping Authority (DoD), and The City of Houston Aviation
Department.
9. REDICHECK:
We use "REDICHECK INTERDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION" for in-
house quality control that is supplemented with our in-house created checklists.
10. CONSTRUCTABILITY:
Keeping our designers assisting construction contract administrators keeps our
designers thinking about the construction, so that their designs do not have
constructability problems. This is not possible on extremely large projects with
extended design and construction time frames, but designers are used as
substitutes when the “construction monitor” is absent due to vacation, illness, etc.
All projects do not need full time CA services, and SEI offers a cafeteria plan
where the USAF can involve SEI as much or as little as desired. We can perform
constructability analysis and review similar to the Corps of Engineers analysis for
our privately funded projects.
