D. Understanding of Need Ninyo & Moore will utilize the project management style and approach that we have successful- ly developed for past and current on-call contracts with public agencies. Throughout the contract duration, Mr. Garreth Saiki, our proposed Project Manager and single point of contact for the City, will meet with the representative(s) of the City to discuss task order assignments, project concerns, permits required, anticipated services required for those projects and close- out requirements. Upon notification of a task order request, we will commence our services. Our approach to our geotechnical, materials testing and inspection services is described in the following flow chart. 1. Develop Scope of Work — The initial step in our approach is to meet with the City Project manager in order to get clear understanding of the project and our expected services. For the geotechnical evaluation, we will develop a detailed scope of work, including the number and type of subsurface explorations, laboratory test, as well as the type of analyses. For the materials testing and inspection services, we will review the approved plans and specifi- cations and will develop a detailed scope of services indicating anticipated man-hours by discipline for the required materials testing and inspection services. We will submit this plan to the City Project Manager for approval and will provide monthly updates to the City Project Manager as construction progresses. 2. Project Personnel Utilization — Upon approval of our scope of work, we will assign the appro- priately certified personnel to the project based on the specific needs of the project. Our large pool of licensed professional geotechnical engi- neers, civil engineers, and certified engineering geologists will be utilized for our geotechnical investigation. Our multiple -certified certified special deputy inspectors and our certified field and laboratory technicians will be readily avail- able for assignment during construction. Our project management approach and in-house computerized data base ensure that we have the appropriately certified personnel assigned during construction. We will also review the contractor's schedule in order to plan accord- ingly and anticipate the future inspections and testing requests. 3.

Our document control sys- tem provides unique identification of daily reports and laboratory conformance testing for each project assignment. These systems are a part of our Quality Systems Program and will be utilized for each task order assignment. 4. Establish Communication Lines — The next step in our approach is to establish the com- munication lines for the project, including the authorized City representative who will be requesting our services. We will also request the approved distribution list for our inspec- tion reports, daily field reports, and laboratory conformance test results. On past projects, Agency Project Managers have coordinated our services in the field and distributed our re- ports. On other past projects, we were scheduled by on-site City Inspectors and distributed our reports to the approved distribution list. We will provide our services to meet the City's needs.
