N <br />TETRA TECH <br />August 12th, 2020 <br />Craig Foster, CPSWQ, QSD/P, NPDES Manager <br />Public Works Agency 20 Civic Center Plz (M-22) <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Reference: RFP No.: 20-102, On -Call Stormwater Project Design Services <br />Mr. Craig Foster, <br />Tetra Tech is pleased to submit our proposal to provide On -Call Professional Stormwater Project Design <br />Services for the City of Santa Ana (City). Tetra Tech brings the City a record of distinguished, successful <br />implementation and completion of stormwater services for large regional capture projects and small-scale <br />public works projects involving the preparation of Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP). The efficient <br />execution of this contract requires a talented team that is balanced with technical expertise and effective <br />leadership, which is exactly what Tetra Tech offers. We will provide the most innovative, efficient, and cost- <br />effective solutions to the City based on the following: <br />Extensive Regional Stormwater Experience: Members of our team bring a wide breadth of stormwater <br />design knowledge. Within the last 5 years, members of our team have been involved in the design of numerous <br />regional stormwater capture projects throughout Southern California including three (3) fully constructed <br />projects, three (3) projects nearing the end of construction, and one (1) project that recently commenced <br />construction. Our knowledge depth gives us the ability to identity issues early in the design phase and provide <br />solutions or propose mitigation measures to be incorporated into the Contract Documents to save the City time <br />and money during construction. <br />Local Staffing and In-house Capabilities: We can best serve the City on this on -call due to our ability <br />to provide most of the key disciplines and services in-house, leading to an efficient and well -coordinated <br />set of construction documents. We can self -perform the project planning, feasibility studies, environmental <br />documentation, permitting, project design excluding landscape architecture and irrigation, bid support, <br />construction support, and post -construction support tasks with top-notch professionals that have built <br />expertise in regional stormwater projects. This brings consistency and the ability to execute with no learning <br />curve. Although we can draw from a large pool of nationwide resources, our Irvine office has experienced staff <br />ready to mobilize at a moment's notice to meet the City's needs. <br />Professional Commitment to the City: The opportunity to be a part of the elite group of consultants serving <br />the City is of great importance to everyone at Tetra Tech. Thus, our approach will be focused on responsive <br />service, flexibility, and a "teamwork and partnering" mindset with your staff. It is this approach that facilitates <br />the exchange of ideas, as well as resolves potential design/construction issues in a timely manner to meet <br />established schedules. Our goal is to exceed your expectations through hard work, attention to detail, and <br />frequent communication. <br />As Principal -in -Charge, I certify that I have the authority to negotiate contracts on behalf of Tetra Tech, and I <br />am authorized to make representations for our organization. Please feel free to contact me at (805) 305-0150, <br />or jason.fussel@tetratech.com, if you have further questions or requests for additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jason Fuss ll, PE, PLS, LEED AP, ENV SP, QSD/P <br />Vice President <br />17885 Von Karman Ave., Suite 500, Irvine, CA 92614 1805.305.0150 1 www.tetratech.com <br />
