In <br />1985, LSA formed an employee stock ownership program and is now a 100 percent employee -owned <br />company. <br />Since its founding, LSA has advanced from a small firm of a few biologists, archaeologists, and <br />environmental analysts to a full -service environmental consulting firm with 11 offices in California. <br />Currently, LSA has more than 250 full-time employees. <br />LSA <br />assigns skilled professionals (many are recognized experts in their fields) to provide the required <br />consultant services. All projects are overseen by a Principal in Charge throughout the life of the <br />contract to ensure a high level of expertise and quality control. To ensure that our quality control <br />program is implemented, all substantial work products are reviewed at the Principal level. As part of <br />this Principal oversight, LSA utilizes Microsoft Project scheduling and cost control measures to <br />monitor contracts from award to completion. LSA has a proven track record in project management <br />- <br />and preparation of planning and environmental documents involving challenging technical, political, <br />and community issues. <br />L:IPR0P0SAD=1516A1- Santa Ana On-CORKOposal.doc <A4/11/08» 1 <br />V ] s <br />
