<br />Subject: Proposal for Water Resources Construction Management and Inspection Services RFP No.19-118
<br />Dear Mr. Rosas:
<br />Wallace & Associates Consulting, Inc. (W&A) is pleased to present our proposal to provide On -Call Water
<br />Resources Construction Management and Inspection Services for the City of Santa Ana (City). W&A is a local
<br />leader in performing these exact services on similar projects for public agencies in Orange County and
<br />throughout Southern California.
<br />About W&A. Since establishing the firm in January 2010, our mission has been to provide cost-effective project
<br />implementation, construction phase services and staff augmentation solutions for public agencies such as the
<br />City. W&A was designed to address the difficult economic conditions that had affected the country. One
<br />competitive advantage is our lean overhead structure. By keeping our costs low, we provide W&A employees
<br />better pay/benefits and charge city and public agency clients less for the same high -quality staff and service;
<br />this is what sets us apart from other companies. As the California economy has grown and stabilized, W&A
<br />has also grown; however, we still maintain our commitment to providing low cost/high quality Project
<br />Management, Construction Management, Construction Inspection and Labor Compliance solutions for our
<br />clients. W&A believes we can continue to serve our mission by assisting the City in implementing its Capital
<br />Improvement Program.
<br />Currently, W&A has over 40 associates with varied backgrounds and experience in public works project
<br />implementation. W&A has a proven track record in providing a full range of services including:
<br />✓ Construction Management ✓ Staff Augmentation ✓ Constructability Review
<br />✓ Full Time Inspection ✓ Labor Compliance Auditing ✓ Field Engineering
<br />✓ Part Time Inspection ✓ Grant Funding Monitoring ✓ Estimating
<br />✓ Project Management ✓ Plan and Specification Review ✓ Cost and Schedule Engineering
<br />W&A has a strong reputation in providing highly qualified staff of project managers, construction managers,
<br />construction inspectors, project engineers, office engineers, labor compliance and administrative staff to
<br />complete a wide range of CIP and development projects. These projects have included water reservoirs,
<br />domestic water, sanitation, non -potable water and irrigation pipelines, wells, pump/booster stations,
<br />water/wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater facilities, groundwater replenishment facilities, administrative
<br />facilities, street rehabilitation, traffic signals, storm drain, medians, ADA ramps, alley paving, slurry seal, parks,
<br />landscaping, mitigation areas, street lights and facility improvements.
<br />Our proposal will demonstrate in detail why W&A would be a great company to assist the City of Santa Ana in
<br />implementing its construction program. Our key strengths include the following:
<br />Local Experience. W&A and its staff have performed similar On -Call CM and Inspection services for cities in
<br />Orange County and Southern California including Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Irvine, Lake
<br />Forest, Laguna Niguel, Yorba Linda, Corona, Rialto, Manhattan Beach, Culver City, Torrance, Chino, Murrieta,
<br />Temecula, Ontario, Pomona, Fontana, Oceanside, Escondido and Banning. W&A has also provided these
<br />same services for water districts including Inland Empire Utility Agency, Ontario Municipal Utilities Company,
<br />Coachella Valley Water District, Corona Department of Water and Power, Rancho California Water District,
<br />Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and California American Water.
<br />An Experienced Team. Our Project Manager, Carl Wallace, PE will be the point of contact for our team and our
<br />services. Once our work starts, he will provide QA/QC for our company and have overall responsibility for the
<br />performance of our team, the satisfaction of the City with the services our team will provide, and the overall
<br />success of the projects with which we are tasked. Carl brings strong management experience having worked
<br />throughout the state for over 28 years on major projects in the construction phase. He has managed similar as -
<br />needed construction services contracts on a statewide basis and has worked in the counties of Orange,
