6. Staff Augmentation /Technical Subconsultants <br />Based on numerous years of experience in the environmental planning field, CAA has found that an <br />interdisciplinary team approach best serves the client's interest and ensures the integrity of a project's <br />analysis. CAA has also determined that the top technical specialists are most often found in their own <br />consulting businesses. Therefore, for projects requiring technical expertise in such areas as traffic, <br />noise, air quality, geotechnical, and biological resources analysis, CAA relies upon other consultants <br />recognized and respected in their fields. This association, in the form of subconsultant agreements, <br />ensures that technical consultant expertise is customized to individual client and project needs. <br />A Project Team Organization Chart is provided below, including potential subconsultant team mem- <br />bers and further indicates percentage of involvement each staff member may actually perform work <br />for City projects. The identified Subconsultants do not represent a complete list of available subconsul- <br />tants. Additionally, the percentage of staff time available to dedicate to a City project will vary based <br />on the specific projects. In the past, CAA has been willing to dedicate up to 100 percent of a staff <br />member's time to a project. <br />CAA recognizes that each client need is different, and as a result, the use of technical consultants can <br />be customized on a project -by- project basis. This business structure offers great cost efficiencies, as <br />clients pay for only those technical services needed and used. Qualifications and resumes for potential <br />technical consultant work efforts will be provided prior to the City's approval of the consultants sug- <br />gested by CAA. <br />7 City of Santa Ana Environmental Consulting Services <br />Statement of Qualifications <br />
