We are a civil engineering firm that specializes in providing onsite <br />engineering and construction support services to public sector organizations. Because this <br />specialty is the exact services the City of Santa Ana is seeking, combined with our excellent <br />working relationship with the City, we several distinct advantages: <br />• A Proven Track Record With The City Of Santa Ana <br />• A Proven Track Record With Other Municipalities <br />• A Network of Civil Engineering Professionals <br />• A Comprehensive Understanding Of The MWD Temporary Employee Lawsuit And <br />A Unique Approach That Minimizes The City's Risk. <br />Another key and very important benefits is: <br />• The Ability To Use On -Site Engineering Services On Longer Term Projects <br />Long term service is one of the most valuable benefits we offer. The labor law issues identified <br />in the MWD lawsuit and correspondingly the legal exposure and risks to municipalities increase <br />significantly with assignments that are longer than six months. This combined with the fact that <br />many engineering related needs, often exceed six months can complicate the situation and <br />pose a dilemma for cities. <br />Fortunately Project Partners can be the solution. Our detailed operational procedures were <br />developed specifically to address these labor law issues, and allow public sector organizations <br />to use our on -site technical services on longer term projects without being exposed to the risks <br />and issues highlighted in the lawsuit. Our operational procedures and the MWD lawsuit are <br />presented in Section 1.1 through 1.3 of this proposal. <br />In closing, we look forward to continue providing the City with excellent engineering and <br />technical services. As always, if you have any questions or need further clarification, please be <br />sure to give me a call at (949) 852-9300, ext. 103. <br />Sincerely, <br />k_1 <br />?Projoe�ctofPners <br />.E. <br />18301 Von Karman Avenue I I phone 949.852.9300 <br />Suite 3 fax 949.852.9322 <br />Irvine, CAA 92612 <br />
