Project Approach


Staffing Strategy

Project Length & Availability

• D/B & CEI NTP in mid September 2012 for 16 months• CEI Start-up to be concurrent with Design Kick Off• Safety Services Building may start quickly

• American Staff is available for Plans Review and CEI immediately if needed

• Specialty Inspectors will only be on site and only charge to the project when needed


Staffing Strategy


Staff Hour Estimate Basis

• The Collier County Safety Services Building is final design and construction may start shortly after the D/B firm gets NTP

• The FDOT made a commitment to FDEP that they would have the recreation access areas open for the September 2012 season. Although this is not possible, there may be pressure to expedite this activity.

• The FDOT shows $11.1 million in the construction funding for this project in FY 2012/2013. This Staff Hour estimate is in line with that cost estimate.

• The Specialty Inspectors are estimated at 0.10 per month. As we do not know the contractor's schedule, there may be months with on time and other months with more time.

• Final Staff Hours will be negotiated with the FDOT and will be affected by additional information at the time of the negotiations.

Project Staffing


Project Schedule

• 16 Months is workable with minimal slack time• Anticipate contractor starting as soon as possible• Some building parts may start before final design is

complete• Jack Knowlton was D7 Scheduling consultant and can

perform comprehensive reviews• Tom Muzicka and Rick Wendling are also experienced

schedule reviewers and will assist as needed• Schedule review meetings will be an important tool for

contract administration


• Reusing as much of the existing building shell as possible

• Utilize ‘Grey Water’

• Evaluate importing wastewater from Broward

• Use of Spray Urethane Foam Insulation

• On-Demand Water Heater

• Pavement Recycler / Low Temperature Asphalt

• LED Area / Street Lighting

• Select Rest Area Roof Complementary to Pavilion Roofs
