Project Management Interwest has extensive experience and success in developing and implementing municipal public works projects, including those with State and/or Federal funding requiring compliance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. We create and apply management systems that work and carefully monitor program effectiveness by closely tracking work quality, quantity, and cost. Our approach begins with the Identification of specific project priorities and their scheduled completions. Delivering Capital Projects under aggressive schedules involves management, administration, and oversight of project development teams from inception to completion. Project management to Interwest means complete ownership of all aspects Including project delivery, funding, project development, and programming. We measure our success in meeting deadlines, project budgets and most importantly, our client's expectations. Areas of focus Include: • Monitoring program effectiveness • Agency coordination on joint projects • Stakeholder & community outreach • Working with utility agencies on relocations • Following Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and Guidelines • Ensuring environmental regulation compliances • Advanced project planning • Bid & award contracts • Managing federally funded projects • Outside agency encroachment permits Neighborhood Traffic Management & Residential Permit Parking Program Through our experience in handling neighborhood traffic calming requests in cities such as Santa Ana, Placentia, Brea, San Marino, Temecula, Rancho Palos Verdes and San Juan Capistrano, we have learned that successful neighborhood traffic calming plans are developed through neighborhood consensus. It is important that all affected residents are involved in the process, and that they are well-informed about the options, the proposed measures, and the approval process. We have done our jobs properly when a proposed traffic calming plan is thought of by the residents as "their" plan, and the plan presented to the City Council is supported by a majority of the residents. Below, we have provided typical engineering and support tasks relating to Neighborhood Traffic Management and Residential Permit Parking Programs. We look forward to the opportunity to expand upon these tasks and create a detailed approach for the City if selected. General Tasks: • Response and management of public requests/petitions for neighborhood traffic calming • Determination and prioritization of study areas • Data collection coordination, and analysis • Determination of potential solutions, cost analysis, refinement of plans and study of effectiveness of traffic calming measure(s) after implementation • Preparation of construction plans • Attending neighborhood meetings NTERWEST Page 114 CONSULTING GROUP 25F-68
