<br />W&A only provides Project Managers, Construction Managers and Inspectors that each have over 20 years of
<br />experience completing public agency CIP projects in Southern California. Our W&A team members have

<br />Agencies, engineering consulting firms and even as contractors. Our Construction Managers are Registered
<br />Professional Engineers and/or Certified Construction Managers; most have worked internally as city staff and
<br />served as consultants. In addition, our large group of over 25 inspectors, each bringing over 20 years of similar
<br />experience on capital and development projects, enables us to staff jobs with the right qualifications whenever
<br />the City may need help. Our inspectors are highly qualified due to their experience and numerous certifications
<br />related to construction inspection. These certifications include APWA, ACIA, QSP, and D-1, D-2, D-3, D-5, T-1
<br />T-2 and T-3 certifications for water distribution and treatment. We also have staff that are Certified Cross

<br />water projects, including hydrostatic testing, chlorination/de-chlorination, dewatering and bac-t tests. W&A also
<br />has a team of Labor Compliance Administrators able to provide prevailing wage, Davis Bacon and DIR
<br />monitoring, review and assistance during all phases of the project. Most importantly, W&A is able to offer these
<br />services as a complete all-inclusive construction management team or individually as full and/or part time
<br />support to the City.
<br />W&A Wants to Provide Excellent Services as Part of Your Team. W&A is a true partner and can work with the
<br />City to achieve its project and staffing needs and deliver high quality services for the City. Our team is
<br />headquartered in nearby Corona and we are committed to exceeding the City of Santa Ana's goals for project
<br />success. We highlight the following qualifications that we believe makes the Wallace & Associates Team a
<br />great partner to assist the City:
<br />✓ Construction Services Specialists: W&A was established exclusively to provide project management and
<br />construction phase services. Our expertise in this area of professional construction engineering and
<br />inspection services is a major advantage in selecting our company for this assignment. Also, since we
<br />solely provide construction services, we are not burdened by the office overhead, equipment and staff
<br />costs required to manage a design practice. This allows us to pass on savings to our clients. Our staff
<br />resides on the job site and we believe this leads them to be more dedicated to the project and the client.
<br />Our management staff comes to them, allowing all of us to stay focused with the progress of the work, the
<br />activities of our staff and the overall satisfaction of the client.
<br />✓ Construction Management Tools: W&A utilizes standardized forms and tracking tools to manage the
<br />project documentation. We have established comprehensive daily reports that our inspectors complete
<br />using their laptops and air cards to complete their reports at the end of the day. The end result is that our
<br />service meets and exceeds the City's requirements and provides the level of detail to fully document the
<br />work each day; this data also provides a framework of documentation for funding reimbursement. We
<br />provide our staff with all necessary equipment to do their job. They have construction vehicles with clear
<br />company identification, safety lights and tools to perform their inspections. They are also equipped with cell
<br />phones, laptop computers, printers (if needed), fuel cards, maintenance cards, and all personal safety
<br />equipment.
<br />✓ High Quality/Low Cost Staff: W&A has experienced staff that would be dedicated to the City's projects. We
<br />also have high quality back-up and part time Inspectors as well as Construction Managers that we can
<br />consistently provide as inspectors for City projects. Our low overhead results in rates which allow us to
<br />provide Construction Managers for the same or lower cost than other companies charge for Inspectors.
<br />Providing cost savings and excellent overall value to the City is our top priority.
<br />✓ Highly Committed W&A Staff: We have received positive feedback from so many of our clients regarding
<br />the commitment of each individual staff member that we have come to believe this it is a main factor in why
<br />clients continue to use our services and staff. This belief is supported by the numerous renewed contracts
<br />we have received throughout our 10-year history.
<br />Scope of Services Overview. We understand the City will need the construction management and inspection
<br />services we provide to support its ongoing Capital Improvement Program. Included in the Appendices is a
<br />sample of our Schedule of Activities from a recent project where we were selected by the City of Corona. The
