local residences and businesses along the proposed alignments. The following are several key issues to consider: • Identify Schools and Emergency Facilities • Develop Plan to Minimize Impacts • Maintain Access to Commercial, Businesses, Residences • Limit Length of Work Zone Our previous experience has shown us the importance of limiting the length of the total work zone the contractor will be allowed. By requiring the contractor to pressure test, place final pavement, and perform clean-up within reasonable working limits prior to starting new excavation work, the construction impacts to the public/community are minimized. PROJECT MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Tetra Tech team's strength lies in the qualifications of our management team and our steadfast commitment to following our propriety written Project Management Policies and Procedures, to proactively manage the project's schedule, resources, budget and deliverables to ensure project metrics are maintained or exceeded, thus ensuring the overall success of the project. PLANNING THE PROJECT Every project, regardless of size and complexity, must undergo the same planning process. Of course, each step is scalable based on the various components of the project. Planning starts with a thorough understanding of the goals and objectives of the project, items to be provided by others, and all project stakeholders. With this basic information, the project is further developed through the creation of a detailed scope of work, including the deliverables. Next the WBS, or Work Breakdown Structure, which mirrors the scope of work is developed to assign resources, budget and schedule required to complete each scope of work item. All elements together yield the basis for the Project Work Plan (PWP). This planning performs multiple functions. The obvious function is that it will allow us to identify critical path tasks and staffing needs. We can make sure that certain resources are made available when needed to complete the task along the schedule's critical path so that subsequent dependent tasks can begin as scheduled. In addition, it ensures that our team has properly considered the resources and schedule needed to complete each task, eliminating surprises during project implementation. Another function is that, through the process of creating the plan and distributing it to our team members, it serves as a primary initial communication provided at the internal kick-off meeting to verify that all team members are completing the project in concert with each other, understanding the reliance on various disciplines, outside influences including subconsultants, permitting agencies and the client. The PWP also provides direction on internal and external communication protocol, design and CAD standards, filing systems/document control, project risks, internal schedule to allow for proper quality reviews, and quality review plan to be followed. We create the work plan and then work the work plan — rigorously — to ensure overall project success for all stakeholders. It is essential to check status and monitor each element of the WBS so that variances can be evaluated and adjustments made if necessary. Our project manager and discipline leads perform regular reviews for this exact reason. Review frequencies are dependent upon the project size and at times the complexity or critical nature of a given WBS item. PROJECT MANAGEMENT To accomplish the project goals, we will utilize proven project management techniques and tools, clearly described in our organized and detailed work plan. From the many similar projects we have completed in the past, we have developed a methodology and philosophy that will serve as the basis for this project. The Project Manager will be responsible for making certain that the project meets schedule, TETRA TECH Page 112
