Our billing rates are a fraction <br />of the billing rates of most consulting firms. <br />• Providing Staff That Can Hit The Ground Running —To be <br />effective from the start, the Public Works Engineer must have three <br />specific skill sets. <br />o Must be competent Engineer Staff —with solid experience in <br />public works projects. Project experience should include at a <br />minimum streets, drainage, traffic, irrigation, and utilities (water <br />& sewer). <br />Project Partners' Approach - All proposed staff submitted are <br />well proven in their areas of expertise. <br />o Must have significant public sector experience — Having good <br />technical and administrative skills must be complimented by <br />good public sector experience. Understanding and having <br />experience in how public works departments operate is critical <br />to being effective. Knowing how to put together an RFP, <br />manage consultants, compose City Council Agenda reports, <br />compiling and administrating construction bid documents and <br />schedules are just a few examples of the experienced our staff <br />possess. <br />1.4 Project Partners Transition Plan <br />Project Partners understands the true value in maintaining staff continuity when and where <br />ever possible.
