Dudek has provided <br />environmental services throughout Orange County (County) for more than 20 years. We propose our <br />full breadth of services for all three areas listed in this Request for Proposals (RFP), (i.e., 1) <br />Environmental Services, 2) Technical Studies, and 3) Staffing Services). As an on -call consultant, we <br />offer the City the following strengths: <br />Recognized On -Call Experts with Local Experience. We specialize in providing on -call <br />environmental and planning services to California municipalities. Locally, we hold on -call contracts with <br />the County and the Cities of Irvine, Anaheim, and San Clemente. We will provide the City's decision <br />makers with the necessary information to comprehend each development application and work <br />seamlessly with City staff to process all sizes and types of projects. Dudek has successfully completed <br />more than 3,200 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act <br />(NEPA), and state and federal environmental regulation documents for projects throughout California. <br />We will leverage our in-house technical experts when producing the required technical reports to save <br />the City time and money. <br />Responsive Project Management. Project Manager Rachel Struglia, PhD, AICP has prepared <br />numerous CEQA documents for both municipal and private projects. Her experience and local <br />knowledge will allow her to prepare environmental documents that meet City standards and <br />expectations. She will manage this project from our office in San Juan Capistrano, with support from <br />our Encinitas and Pasadena offices. <br />Diverse Technical Specialties. As a midsized firm, Dudek is small enough for project managers to <br />make nimble decisions, quickly draw from our pool of technical resources, and stay engaged with you <br />from start to finish. But we are large enough that our diverse staff can tackle a spectrum of <br />environmental and planning challenges. Team leaders can quickly mobilize the right technical experts <br />for a project, drawing from a deep bench of professionals is available for this contract.
