City of Santa Ana RFP No. 19-090 <br />Professional Land Surveying Services <br />Cover Letter <br />October 24, 2019 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Attn: Mr. Sean Thomas, PE <br />Public Works Agency; M-36 <br />20 Civic Center Plaza; 3rd Floor Reception, Ross Annex <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />RE: Request for Proposal No. 19-090 <br />Professional Land Surveying Services <br />Dear Mr. Thomas: <br />Towill, Inc. (Towill) is pleased to present our team's qualifications and proposal to provide as needed surveying <br />support to the City of Santa Ana (City) in response to your Request for Proposal (RFP). Since 1955, Towill has <br />provided highly specialized geomatics services to clients throughout California. We are proud of the work we <br />have accomplished and the relationships we have built along the way, and we are eager to establish a strong <br />working relationship with the City. <br />Who We Are <br />Towill is a surveying and mapping firm; this is our sole focus and has been for the past 64 years. This is <br />what we do, all we do, and we do it all in-house. We are not a division of a larger engineering company where <br />priorities and resources can shift. We do not have an internal client base (other engineers) that can provide us <br />with work when projects slow down. Since our clients can choose who they hire, we must strive for excellence <br />in all we do. <br />As a professional services firm and as individuals, our number one goal is to provide our clients with on time, <br />first time right project deliverables. Since we are solely focused on geomatics services, we attract and retain <br />a core group of passionate staff and focus our investments on new survey equipment and the latest software. <br />Towill's key personnel who will be assigned to this contract have on average 27 years of professional experi- <br />ence in field surveying, photogrammetric mapping, remote sensing, and GIS. <br />We take pride in designing cost-efficient technical approaches that continually meet or exceed our clients' re- <br />quirements for every project assignment. Our goal is never to just complete a survey/mapping design task, but <br />to provide valuable geospatial information that will be used by engineers and others to improve the places we <br />work and live. Whether it is for a small boundary survey or a large topographic base map, we understand that <br />we are an important and valuable part of the overall project. <br />Expert Project Management <br />Towill has assembled a versatile team with exceptional technical experience and professional qualifications, <br />and a commitment to responsiveness to meet your objectives. Leading the team as Project Manager will be <br />James Rios, PLS. James is a Professional Land Surveyor with 21 years of experience as a Project Manag- <br />er, Project Surveyor, and Party Chief. James has well-rounded experience with a heavy focus on projects for <br />Southern California public sector clients, including but not limited to the Cities of Irvine, Yucaipa, Chino, local <br />transportation agencies such as OCTA, RCTC, SBCTA, and the Port of Long Beach. Many of James' project <br />assignments have been completed according to Caltrans specifications with MicroStation V8 deliverables. <br />Submitted October 24, 2019 T TOWILL <br />SURVEYING I MAPPING I GIS <br />
