POWER's project management and control system has a record of success of delivering projects on time and within budget. Using Microsoft Project scheduling software, the Project Manager can take a proactive approach to ensuring the schedule stays on track POWER ENGINEERS, INC. will monitor the performance of the contract and meet, as necessary, with the City to confirm that the team is meeting the City's expectations and product quality. Bill will also support all of Court's endeavors. The Management Team is supported by three key Work Assignment Managers—Thom Ryan, Karen Cadavona, and Kim Quinn—all of whom have experience relevant to the issues and environmental services anticipated under this contract. The Work Assignment Managers are supported by a team of technical experts in their respective fields needed to meet the requirements of the scope of this contract. POWER's project management and control system has a record of success of delivering projects on time and within budget. The system is effective on large and small projects and on jobs where we manage multiple projects like this one. Our system has three key elements—work plan, budget and schedule—linked by a common numbering system. The work plan for each respective Work Assignment issued from this contract will be organized by tasks representing a deliverable or set of related deliverables to be generated for the project. The task numbering system found in the work plan corresponds to our budget and schedule. We use this consistent numbering system throughout the project's life as we assess task completion, schedule progress, and budget compliance. Using this system of management, we can track in real time the status of each project, team member, task or deliverable. PROJECT MANAGEMENT POWER utilizes an integrated computer-based financial management system (i.e., Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning System) to provide our Project Manager with real-time financial information for the life of a project. The system allows the Project Manager to monitor budget and schedule performance on a weekly basis using real-time accounting data. The system has been designed so the Project Manager can readily estimate actual work performed relative to budget and schedule, and take corrective actions before problems develop with regards to project budgeting. POWER's invoicing will adhere to the City's requirements in that regard, and each invoice will be accompanied with a project status report detailed work completed during the respective billing period and work anticipated for the next period. POWER uses the Microsoft Project scheduling software (and Primavera, if required) to develop and track project schedules, activities, and key milestones. These tools will allow our Project Manager to continually track the progress of the projects and anticipate any delays and/or potential acceleration to the schedule. If an issue was to develop that had the potential to impact progress, the item would be identified as a critical -path item in the updated schedule and immediately brought to the attention of the City for resolution. City review and approval milestones (and Caltrans, as applicable) will be built into project schedules to ensure adequate time is provided to account for these activities. Our scheduling capabilities permit the development of alternative scheduling impacts depending upon the corrective action. HLY 11-128223 CITY OF SANTA ANA PWA ENV.
