timely dedslon-making by out clients and the entire project <br />team. Cost control techniques Include: program budget <br />analysis; value qnjineerini; ltfb�oycls cost analysis; and <br />quaritity-based estimating. We rely on an operi-book, <br />Inclusive process that demonstrates the costs and berielits <br />of varying design options, This budget confirmation <br />process starts in the earliest stages of ft project, when <br />design and enginearing alternatives have the greatest <br />potential Impact on costs. Our design learns analyze <br />Merit goals, technical' requirements, alternative building <br />concepts, construction costs and long4arm operational <br />costs to defino.the optimum scope within the budget <br />ensuring long-tarm flaxiblifty and value, <br />Schedule Control <br />The key to effective schisduletoribroll Isto measureactual <br />proilreso arid 0-impars K W planned progress on a regular <br />basis end to take necessary corrective action immediately. <br />We propose to. supplement each r6ajor task as identified In <br />the master project schedule with a supplemental schedule <br />to keep careful track of whom each Individual component <br />stands. We Identify problems that may resuttfrom delays <br />and readily provide the opportunity to Modify the schedule, <br />as required, This process ensures the completion of your <br />projects on soliedulo. <br />innovative arid Successful Approaches <br />Our team focuses on providing safe, cost-effactive, reliable, <br />and sustainable Improvements using Innovative design <br />and contracting technIquesthat meet the needs of the <br />taxpayers, meet or exceed the minimum standards based <br />on design Improvements, and minimizes kripacts to <br />adjacent properties and vehicular and pedestrian traffic. <br />Out experience enginearingstaff provides lower-oost or <br />lower -impact alternatives In order to develop the least <br />disruptive and least expensive designs. <br />In addition, the NVO Wam utilizw the latest In civil <br />ang nearing design software to facilitate timely, efficient, <br />and innovative engineering solutions for our clients. Our <br />team relies on a host of computer resources, including <br />up-to-date, state-of-the,art technology that Is In use today <br />throughout the engineering Industry. We make maximum <br />use of PCba8ed CADD systems that allow for the storage <br />of typical details, establish similarity of plan layouts, and <br />enable rapid duplications for the efficient preparation of <br />plan shests. <br />Our team also provides construction management for <br />public works projects to several local agencles. We will <br />have our In-house construction managamentstaff review <br />plans a ' rid specifications for constructistillity. This Is a good <br />opportunity to obtain the view.ofthoso from the field and <br />reduce potential Anoukies that may be encountered <br />during the construction of a proliect. <br />Quality Assurance/Quality Control <br />ror every design project, ourteam uses a time4ested and <br />proven project quality manual, Which describes the project <br />quality process to be followed during the development of <br />the design do.cumorift and other project-doliverables.
