meets or exceeds the expectations of the City and the community, but will accomplish this within the allocated construction budget. To meet this requirement, the Tetra Tech team will maintain a running cost estimate of the overall project, provide value engineering recommendations, and will coordinate work closely with Mr. Jason Fussel, the Tetra Tech Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/ QC) Manager. 100% DESIGN PS&E Upon direction from the City Project Manager, and based on the review comments on the 90% PS&E, the Community, City and other stakeholder input, we will develop the final construction plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). All PS&E deliverables will pass our Internal Quality Control Process, and will meet the standards and requirements of the City, SCRRA, Caltrans, and the Grant. After going through our thorough and established Quality Control process, Tetra Tech will submit 100% PS&E, along with back-up design calculations, models, and technical reports for review and approval. Each submittal will be made on time in accordance with the schedule. We will provide construction specifications for the work, and will thoroughly review the specifications against the plans to ensure their coordination. An Opinion of Costs will be provided by the professional cost estimators we maintain In-house, with a detailed breakdown of work elements, unit prices, material, equipment, and total costs, and will include references for chosen unit costs at each submittal. Our team will offer recommendations for cost savings. The drawings and calculations will be signed and sealed by the Project Manager or Engineer registered in the State of California. CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW Prior to the Final PS&E submittal, we will have a thorough Constructability Review performed by an Independent in-house Engineer, following our well-established Constructability Checklist of major items such as long lead Items, Buy America, and construction staging to name a few.

BID SUPPORT The City will gain from the Tetra Tech team's extensive experience in the preparation of quality bid documents to obtain uniform bids. We strive to reduce the need for changes and addenda, and will offer recommendations on pay items to cover all of the potential work. The City will also benefit from our support during the bid process to offer clarifications, and utilize our experience evaluating contractor bids to identify unbalanced bids or other issues. QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE At Tetra Tech, our methods and techniques for Quality Control (QC) are employed in all phases of work to ensure that the quality requirements are fulfilled for our clients. Quality Assurance (QA) Is Integral to our culture and processes, and is Ingrained in each task to be properly implemented. Our Quality Assurance has been responsible for driving down the lead time for Project Delivery, and reduces the overall cost of the project by minimizing quality checks, rework and agency delays. The Quality Check process is a formalized step in the delivery process that requires all documents and deliverables to go through an Independent review prior to release. The goal is simple: ensure that the product meets the expectations of the client and does not require the City to review the deliverables. This goal keeps rework down and achieves two primary goals: reducing cost and time. Checklists, formal commentfresponse forms, and redlined QC stamped sets are integral to the Quality Check. First, the QC Manager will conduct a formal review of the deliverable highlighting all reviewed work and redlining the set. Once the review is finished and verified that all redlines have been addressed, the Project Manager will review the set to look TETRA TECH 13 25F-28
