Prior to submitting PS&Es to the City for review, URS will conduct internal quality control reviews to assure the <br />correcmess and quality of our products. An independent quality control review is typically performed by a registered <br />civil engineer that is not specifically invoked in the design of the project. <br />URS will coordinate and, if necessary, meet with the various City departments during the review period to clarify any <br />design issues to help facilitate the plan check process. After URS has received and reviewed the comments, we will <br />meet again with the City staff to discuss and verify actions to address the review comments. <br />2.8 Construction Bidding Assistance <br />To ensure that the project is financially successful, we must do everything possible to receive good bids from <br />contractors. Primarily, this involves producing a complete set of plans and specifications. This may also involve the <br />review and approval of any addenda and/or clarifications to the contract documents. We will also attend any pre, <br />construction meetings with City staff and be available to answer any questions that may arise during the bid period. <br />We will also be available to assist the City with evaluation of bids received to ensure that only responsive and <br />responsible bidders will be considered for award of the construction contract. <br />2.9 Construction Engineering Services <br />For most projects, we would propose to assist the City with the administration of the construction project. Since we <br />are located so close to most of the projects, we will be immediately available to attend site visits or meetings as <br />required. We will also have the opportunity to periodically observe the construction as it progresses and will report <br />back to the City if any abnormal conditions are identified. <br />2.10 Final As-Built Drawings <br />After the construction is complete, a final set of as-built drawings will be prepared from redline markups maintained <br />by the contractor during construction. Asbuilt plans will be entered into, the Microstation files and saved on a CD for <br />delivery to the City. In addition, a signed set of reproducible, original as-built drawings (mylars) will be submitted to <br />the City. This allows the,City to have a permanent record of the as-built conditions, as well as a convenient resource <br />for performing future projects that expand on the constructed improvements. <br />3.0 Staffing <br />The City is an important client to URS and we are committed to completing all projects on time and within budget. <br />With URS' and its subconsultants' large staff capabilities, we make the commitment that our team will be responsive <br />and available for the project duration. Additional support staff can easily be made available, as needed, to support <br />activities on this contract. As the Principal in-Charge, Jeff Chapman has the authority to direct all necessary resources <br />for each assignment and to assure that the work is performed in the best interest of the City. <br />3.1 Organization Chart <br />URS has assembled a team of engineering professionals who are both experts in their respective fields and very <br />knowledgeable regarding the City's standards and procedures. Though our Santa Ana office has a very large <br />transportation group, we have selected a core group of individuals to perform work under this contract. All of the <br />personnel shown on our organization chart work out of the Santa Ana office, have performed design and landscaping <br />design services within the city limits, and the majority of them have worked on projects directly for the City. <br />Additionally, all of the personnel is fully available for their role on this on-call contract. We believe that the specific <br />knowledge and understanding of Santa Ana that this group brings will streamline design, enhance communications, <br />and strengthen the City's design capabilities. <br />U-
