LSA ASSOCIATES. INC. MAY 2007 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SERVICES WORK APPROACH PROJECT UN DERSTANDING NDERSTANDING AND APPROACH At LSA, we understand that an on -call assignment requires an "on -call" obligation. The team must act quickly; it must be responsive, knowledgeable, ready to use its experience for myriad possible requests, and be solution oriented. Our experience has led us to one common denominator when working under an on -call services contract: constant, clear, productive communication. If selected for this contract, LSA will be responsive and efficient, with frequent and purposeful communication with County staff. Since this assignment is for on -call services to be performed on a task order basis, a specific work plan cannot be presented at this time. However, this section presents LSA's general approach to this contract. It would be essential that there be a clear understanding between City staff and the LSA Team regarding each assignment's goals and objectives. The appropriate lines of communication and reporting will be established to assure that the work progresses on schedule as planned. LSA's basic management plan for each task order is to provide a well-defined budget, schedule, scope of work, staffing, progress reporting, and quality control procedures based on LSA's Quality Control Plan. This work plan will ensure that a proactive approach to project management is provided to City staff. Our goal is to function as an extension of City staff throughout the duration of the contract. We will work with the City to establish the best possible staffing arrangements for each task order. It should be noted that the only persons, companies, or parties interested in this proposal as principals are named therein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, persons, company or parties submitting a proposal; that this is in all respects fair and in good faith without collusion or fraud; and that the signer of this proposal has full authority to bind the principal proposer. WORKING RE LATIONSHIPS LSA's project management approach is to assign responsibility for the delivery of a quality project on time and within budget to the Project Manager. Mr. Rob Balen, LSA's Principal in Charge/Project Manager, will have total responsibility for maintaining an effective working relationship with the City and maintaining the technical performance of all team members throughout the life of this consulting engagement. Mr. Balen will ensure that the City is kept informed of all significant project information on a timely basis throughout the life of this assignment by way of informal and formal reporting via e-mail or phone conversations. TEAM ORGANIZATION As shown later in this proposal, the LSA Team members' expertise covers a broad spectrum of environmental disciplines. Our management team is set up with Mr. Balen as the overall Project Manager and primary point of contact and five senior staff available to function_ as Task Managers. Mr. Balen will be responsible for quality assurance and will ensure that LSA's Quality Control Plan LAPROPOSA=1384A1 - Santa Ana On -call Env SrvcsTroposal.doc <<05/18/07» 4
