REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL <br />Water Resources Construction Management and Inspection Services <br />11 P <br />(RFP NO. 19-118) <br />legal representative through all forms of construction and design forensic <br />case development, including providing expert witness testimony. <br />COMMUNITY RELATIONS. We understand the sensitive nature <br />of construction projects and the effect it will have on the traveling <br />public, residents of the City of Santa Ana, local commuters, and local <br />businesses. Rehabilitation and widening projects will cause temporary <br />inconvenience due to short-term traffic closures/detours and restricted <br />access, noise, dust, and often changing construction operations. We <br />know that the majority of residents will recognize the benefits of the <br />improvements, such as fewer pot holes and better traffic circulation, <br />though there will be some that will not. We will work with the City's public <br />relations staff to minimize any negative impacts by keeping interested <br />parties informed of what is happening, when it is happening, and what <br />we are doing to minimize disruptions. We will stress our availability to <br />help resolve problems before they occur. <br />Community relations are a key component in a successful project that <br />impacts much of the community. We will work closely with the City, <br />contractor, adjacent cities, Police and Fire, major tourist destinations, <br />and coordinators of other special events planned within the City. We <br />will coordinate with affected utility companies to help ensure timely <br />relocations and protection of their facilities. Our goal is to keep the <br />public informed about the project's schedule, lane closures, and any <br />other issues that may affect the public. Special efforts will be made <br />to coordinate the construction activities and minimize impacts during <br />times of high traffic volumes. We will also make a special effort to keep <br />in close contact with those residents and businesses who express <br />concerns to help make sure the project runs smoothly. We are prepared <br />to support the City's public relations team with street signage, public <br />notices to the affected businesses and residents, meetings with the <br />public, notices to the local newspapers, local TV, and radio stations. We <br />will make sure that our team will not make direct contact with the media, <br />and all communications are handled by the City's representatives. We <br />can also provide material for posting on the City's web page. <br />PFI FVANT PR(;.IFrT FX,PFRIFNrF <br />Michael Baker's highly qualified construction project managers and field <br />staff are experienced in all facets of construction engineering including: <br />potable water, recycled water, and sewer system facilities.
