POWER was founded on the strong belief that the long-term growth and prosperity of a business is directly dependent on conscientious work. The City can depend on receiving quality work— on schedule and within budget—from the POWER Team. POWER ENGINEERS, INC. The Project Manager is ultimately accountable, and we realize that each member of the POWER Team is responsible for adhering to a project's scope, schedule, and budget. Accordingly, input is obtained from each member of the project team when preparing a project's scope of work, budget, and schedule such that each team member not only provides input into defining such factors for a project but also is aware regarding what they will be held accountable to in that regard. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL POWER was founded on the strong belief that the long-term growth and prosperity of a business is directly dependent on conscientious work. Our commitment to quality starts before the project (Work Assignment) is commenced. Our work plan is the start of the quality process. Before projects are initiated, detailed task descriptions and checklists are developed to define project requirements and to provide team members with an accurate basis for planning. We use systematic checking and control procedures for documents on all projects. Our Quality Assurance Program is directed toward compliance with pertinent technical, agency, construction, safety and environmental codes. County QA/QC requirements, e.g., use of response -to -comment matrices for revised deliverables, will be taken into account as part of POWER's Quality Assurance Program to ensure satisfaction and completeness and defensibility of submittals. Furthermore, and given Caltrans' involvement with this contract, POWER will utilize as part of its Quality Assurance Program the pertinent Caltrans QC Checklists (e.g.: External Quality Control Certification Sheet, Quality Control Checklist) to ensure submittal of complete documents for Caltrans review. A fundamental feature of our Quality Assurance Program is our formal internal peer review process, which is conducted on all deliverables prior to submittal, whether developed by POWER personnel or our subcontractors. The purpose of the peer review is to take a fresh look at the documentation and environmental assessments and recommendations we have made. A typical peer reviewer is a senior - level professional with experience in the type of issues and recommendations provided in the deliverable. For purposes of managing the POWER Quality Assurance Program requirements for this contract, we have assigned Jim Jensen as the QA/QC Manager. Mr. Jensen has managed preparation of over 100 CEQA and NEPA documents and has served in the same capacity (QA/QC Manager) on many such projects. Mr. Jensen and Mr. Morgan will work together at the outset of the project to prepare a Quality Management Plan that provides the QA/QC procedures, protocols, and reporting requirements for this contract—this plan will be provided to team members at the outset of the contract to ensure that they are aware of and understand the procedures as prescribed for this contract. They too will work closely through the duration of the contract to ensure that our Quality Assurance Program is being thoroughly and consistently implemented on each Work Assignment.
