Budget, and Schedule Control Over the past 16 years, EEC has managed many multi -year projects with tight deadlines and limited budgets. EEC understands that quality, budget and schedule control is essential to a successful project. One way that EEC plans to accomplish this is with schedule tracking software. EEC utilizes Microsoft Project software to track all projects. Microsoft Project allows EEC to track project schedules and budgets to maintain a clear understanding of a projects status. Beyond utilizing Microsoft Project, EEC will generate monthly status reports and invoices from the database of the inspections performed. The City will receive the monthly status reports so the City can always be up -to -date on the project's status. Finally, EEC will utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) to track and schedule inspections. By using GIS, EEC can create monthly inspection zones, which makes inspection routing more efficient and ensures facilities are inspected within their correct priority - inspection frequency. EEC understands that project quality is very important to the success of this project. The City needs to be sure that complete and thorough inspections are being performed_ EEC management staff will perform periodic follow -up inspections to verify if an adequate inspection was performed at that facility. "This ensures that quality inspections are always performed, and also provides feedback from facilities about the inspection experience. This feedback can be used to improve inspection processes. These are tried and tested project management tools and techniques that EEC has implemented for other City of Santa Ana commercial inspection projects. EEC —Santa Ana NPDES Proposal 1 March 3, 2011
