SCOPE OF SERVICES AND <br />SCHEDULE <br />Ardurra has assembled a comprehensive team to provide <br />professional engineering services for planning, design, and <br />construction support for domestic water, recycled water, sanitary <br />sewer, storm sewer, and related facility projects. We are <br />proposing to support the City in the following categories provided <br />in Attachment 1, Scope of Work of the RFP: <br />1. Planning, Resources, and Design <br />2. Construction Management <br />3. Pipeline Design <br />4. Electrical, Instrumentation & Control <br />All work will be performed to industry standards and will reflect <br />the thoroughness, attention to detail and professional knowledge <br />expected in all associated project phases. If a task order proposal <br />is issued, we will prepare a detailed scope of work and project <br />schedule that includes critical milestones for that specific project. <br />We have established tried and true project management controls <br />over the years. Five key strategies help keep our projects on time <br />and budget: <br />Planning — Early planning increases the understanding of <br />the project, the quality of the solution, ownership of the tasks <br />among team members, and ultimately the success of the <br />project. <br />Monitoring — Our project managers use task lists, progress <br />reports, critical path management (CPM) schedules, financial <br />data, and quality control processes to monitor and control <br />projects. <br />Schedule Management — Our team is fluent in scheduling <br />tools. These tools produce a CPM Gantt chart to identify <br />items that are critical in the production of our work so we <br />can be proactive. We will update this schedule regularly and <br />review the schedule, task list, progress reports, and plans <br />at project meetings to be sure that we continue to make <br />progress throughout the project life. <br />Financial Management — Our project team uses financial <br />data in the regular development of invoices and to compare <br />planned project expenditures with our CPM schedule. Upon <br />successful negotiation of a task order, our project manager <br />will develop a projected billings chart "S-curve" to forecast <br />work efforts throughout the assignment. On a monthly basis, <br />we will use this information internally to develop a value <br />analysis. This value analysis helps us understand trends for <br />the project and provides for early identification of potential <br />staffing under- or over -runs. These trends help us stay ahead <br />and provide for better resource management. <br />Quality Management — A Quality Management Plan will be <br />established at the beginning of each project and implemented <br />throughout the duration of the project. Ardurra takes seriously <br />the responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of our <br />work products. <br />3.
