In particular, to address the requirements of this contract, we have the resources to provide ready solutions to all of the City's engineering and landscaping design needs. Our Santa Ana office alone has the capabilities to perform all aspects of the anticipated engineering design services. Projects resulting from the on-call contract will be managed and staffed from this office, just minutes away from the Civic Center. The resources available to the City include individuals dedicated to providing the highest quality of engineering services in a responsive manner. These services include the following engineering and design elements: ? Sheet improvements ? Architectural and landscaping ? Traffic studies and design ? Construction management and inspection ? Utility research and right-ofway engineering ? Structural engineering ? Geotechnical engineering and pavement design ? MechanicaVelectrical engineering ? Environmental planning, compliance and permitting URS provides a full range of consulting services on public works, transportation, airport, marine, residential, commercial and industrial projects throughout southern California. We have successfully managed and executed countless projects involving difficult technical constraints and tight time schedules. For instance, URS is currently working on the CEQA and NEPA compliant documentation for your proposed widening of Grand Avenue between First Street and Fourth Street In this effort, we developed a cost-effective approach that saved you time and money. Our services begin at the conceptual stage and continue through design and construction administration for complete project implementation. Adherence to budget and commitment to schedules are key elements in all our engineering efforts. In addition to URS' qualifications and past experience noted in this section, further information on Coast Surveying and Tatsumi and Partners (both are minority business enterprises) can be found in Section 4.0 Subconsukants. 1.2 Past Experience We have successfully demonstrated high-quality support to the City through your previous on-call engineering and landiscaping assignments and other past projects. In performance of these contracts, we employed our organizational and procedural policies to ensure quality engineering services. We provide the best service, attention to detail, strict adherence to schedule requirements, and commitment to the City's goals. Out objective on every assignment is to offer the most cost-effective design that meets the project needs within the planned schedule and budget. On-call professional engineering design services require unique capabilities. To be successful, the consultant must have localdesign experience to be thoroughly familiar with required design criteria and processing standards of the City. We know that oncaU services require us to be easily accessible and promptly responsive to a potentially wide range of assignments that may need concurrent management and design work- simultaneous efforts with parallel schedules require carefully planned management approaches. 25H-14
