Souri Amirani City of Santa Ana May 22, 2008 Page 2 ? Locality and Past Performance • As citizens of Santa Ana, we are invested in your success. We understand the sensitivity of neighborhood preservation, particularly downtown and in the surrounding areas. We are thoroughly familiar with the ongoing traffic issues on local streets and roads. We currently have staff working on the Grand Avenue Widening and have worked with you on several other projects recently. As you see, we have a particular sensitivity to community issues such as neighborhood preservation and traffic-related matters and want to see the City grow and succeed. Our location, coupled with our commitment to you, makes us particularly responsive to your needs. ? Work History with Subconsultants • Tatsumi and Partners, located only a few minutes from our offices, will support our efforts with landscaping and park renovation design expertise. Coast Surveying (Coast) is another local firm who will support our efforts with survey and right-of-way expertise, and with whom we also have a longstanding working relationship. Moreover, Coast has provided survey and right-of-way services on several recent projects. ? Cost Efficiency. Based upon our past experience on similar projects and our intimate knowledge of the City s procedures, we can effectively reduce design time and approval processing time, thereby reducing costs. In addition, our vast street improvement, landscaping design and construction experience produces cost effective designs that are buildable. With our ream's knowledge and experience, we have consistently saved the City money by devising cosaeffective approaches that solve problems while staying on schedule, just as we are with the City's Grand Avenue project currently We have included three copies of our Fee Schedule and Attachment "A" in a sealed envelope along with our proposal. In addition, as noted in the RFP, the only person, persons, company or parties interested in the proposal as principals, are named herein; this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, persons, company or parties submitting a proposal; it is in all respects fair and in good faith without collusion or fraud, and the signer of the proposal has full authority to bind the principal proposer. We feel our commitment to Santa Ana is unmatched because as one of the largest professional employers in Santa Ana, we clearly recognize that if you do not succeed, we do not succeed. We are truly invested in your success. The URS team understands the procedures required to manage and complete on call design assignments. We look forward to working with you and your staff.
