Task 23 — Site Visits DEA's construction management team will attend a pre -construction meeting in addition to field meetings during construction to discuss construction progress, visit the site as deemed appropriate to review the progress and quality of the work and ensure its compliance with the overall design intent, and review project issues and general construction matters. The team will assist the City in preparing punch lists for the contractor, in addition to conducting preliminary and final inspections to determine the dates of substantial completion and final completion of construction.

Availability to Perform Requested Services DEA understands that the key to managing on -call contracts is our ability to be flexible and responsive. When our services are needed, we will promptly react and employ the required expertise and appropriate tools to accomplish the task as efficiently as possible. For previous on -calls, DEA has employed these methods to provide project support in less than 24-hours' notice. DEA will bring this same level of service to the City. DEA is committed to being responsive and to maintain project schedules, and has the depth of resources necessary to meet the demand. We avoid schedule delays by proactive project management and planning ahead. Our depth of readily available resources at DEA offices enables us to recover almost any loss in schedule. At the first sign of schedule critical path impact, we develop a full range of recovery options. These options may include bringing in additional staff from other DEA offices, altering field procedures, and/ or employing different tools in order to maintain project schedule and not sacrifice quality. A detailed project schedule with milestones can be developed in accordance with the project needs. Schedules and deadlines will be reviewed frequently (minimum weekly) by the project manager to verify that key completion dates are not missed. Proposed Strategy to Accomplish the Work DEA has executed a number of on -call contracts with other agencies throughout the years. Beginning with the cost proposal stage throughout the final delivery stage and the close out of a particular task order. Upon preparation of a draft task order, Project Manager, Heath Habig will meet with the City to define the task in terms of purpose, goals, roles and responsibilities, and expectations. He will coordinate with the appropriate design task lead to develop the scope of work per the identified City project.

Upon the City approval of the task order, the team will have a kickoff meeting with the City.
