Memo <br />June 30, 2011 <br />To: Raul Godinez, Executive Director, Public Works Agency, City of Santa Ana <br />From: Cindy Krebs, Contract Transit Program Manager <br />Subject: Calls to Firms That Attended the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway <br />Project Pre-Preliminary Engineering Pre-Proposal Meeting <br />I have had the opportunity to talk with representatives from all but one of the firms that <br />attended the pre-proposal meeting for the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway <br />Project Pre-Preliminary Engineering Pre-Proposal Meeting on May 18, 2011 but chose <br />not to submit a proposal. A summary of the information they shared with me is provided <br />below: <br />Diaz Yourman - Tried to team; no interest from other firms they contacted. Didn't think <br />they'd be in strong position to lead. Attended meeting to gain more information about the <br />project. <br />APA Engineering - Lack relevant experience. Were hoping to team but weren't <br />successful. Believed current team had the advantage for the next phase. <br />Iteris, Inc - Not geared to prime. Didn't find an opportunity to team with another firm. <br />Harris & Associates - Not qualified to prime. Didn't find another firm to team with. <br />Tait & Associates - Attended meeting to learn more about the project. Didn't find <br />anyone to partner with; meeting turnout was low. Said, "The team that had the inside <br />track was present." <br />DEA - I tried to contact the representative from DEA several times by phone. I never <br />received a response to any of the messaged I left. <br />EXHIBIT 1 <br />25D-3
