To be <br />successful, the consultant must have local design experience to be thoroughly familiar with required design <br />criteria and processing standards of the City. In addition, on-call services require that the consultant be <br />easily accessible and promptly responsive to a potentially wide range of assignments that may need <br />concurrent management and design. Simultaneous efforts with parallel schedules necessitate carefully <br />planned management approaches. <br />vpts Page 1 <br />
