Ms. Souri Amirani <br />May 22, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />Consider why the Psomas Team is the best choice for this assignment: <br />Cost -Conscious Design. The Psomas Team recognizes the value and need for cost -sensitive design solutions. <br />For a recent City of Downey pavement reconstruction project, we conducted value engineering of materials <br />recommendations on our own initiative, and developed alternative solutions that resulted in direct cost <br />savings to the City in excess of $300,000. <br />Experienced Project JVanager. Tom Herbel, P.E., will direct the Psomas Team as Project Manager. Tom <br />has more than 18 years of experience in civil engineering for a variety of civic project types, including <br />municipal streets and roads, parks, and site development projects. He has managed such projects for cities <br />throughout Orange County. He will manage your project with little guidance, working as an extension of <br />City staff, which translates directly in conserving the City's time and resources. Understanding multi- <br />discipline issues, Tom will serve the City by integrating a variety of professionals to undertake the City's <br />proposed diverse assignments. Tom has precisely the background and current experience that is needed for <br />your projects. <br />QA/QC. Psomas is dedicated to technical excellence and professional quality, which is implemented through <br />a proactive QA/QC program on our projects. Quality is a company -wide commitment. The lack of design - <br />related change orders on our projects demonstrates the success of our program. <br />Proven .Record. The Psomas Team offers the City an experienced team of professionals with proven records <br />in providing design services for roadway rehabilitation and reconstruction projects and park facilities for <br />cities and in meeting project budget and schedule constraints. Our Team's successful work together on <br />relevant projects will provide the additional benefits of established working relationships and good <br />communications. The Psomas Team will "hit the ground running!" <br />Local Sensitivity. Much of our work has been performed for public agencies, and we understand the special <br />concerns of municipal public works departments such as yours. We are sensitive to community impacts, and <br />recognize the need for preparing biddable, constructible plan packages. <br />Rules, for Proposals.
