on behalf of the City or for individual projects within the city limits. IBI Group's staff team is also fully capable of supporting City staff in reviewing project development applications, traffic studies, and transportation plans. ITS / Traffic Signal Coordination IBI Group has deep experience in ITS design and traffic signal coordination. IBI Group staff authored the San Diego Region ITS Strategic Deployment Plan, demonstrating an understanding of compliance with federal, state, and local codes and regulations. IBI staff are fully versed in multimodal ITS planning, design and implementation with a full knowledge of Caltrans and federal ITS requirements and industry -leading systems engineering approaches. This experience will allow IBI to provide expert on call services for any projects the City of Santa Ana requires. Future Proofing of Emerging Technology IBI Group's traditional transportation planning and engineering expertise is strongly influenced by current and emerging technologies that are playing an increasing role in our urban lives and environment. We are moving forward as a firm to stay ahead of the rapidly shifting transportation environment that is moving from singular mode user decisions to decisions based on a network of multimodal options and supported by real-time data. This means looking at both: • The present mobility eco-system defined by increasing interconnectivity; and • The future that will be marked by a completely connected user in a smart city with a responsive and resilient mobility environment. Both eco-systems are very different from the one of traditional transportation/ITS planning, design, and deployment which tended to be solely agency infrastructure and operations focused. Under this traditional model, customer information and interactions were viewed as secondary or an outcome of operational improvements. Increasingly, the lines between customer information and operational support systems are blurring, as has the line between planning and implementation. IBI Group has the depth and breadth of skills and expertise to tackle all potential elements of the emerging 21 st century mobility paradigm. It is also integrated and linked through all stages of ITS and transportation planning, engineering, implementation, and operations support to provide the City of Santa Ana with the flexibility and capabilities it will need to respond effectively as the ITS and mobility environments continue to evolve rapidly over the coming years. Scope of Services IBI Group has developed a sample work plan to address the common elements associated with transportation planning and engineering services. IBI recognizes the importance of all project aspects as well as the differences in how they will need to be handled. Management of individual tasks is the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that elements of the project affecting the schedule, project cost and approval process are tracked, monitored and reported on accordingly. Task 1 — Project Kick -Off Meeting IBI Group's first order of work will be to meet with the City of Santa Ana's Project Manager, to review the project, identify specific review issues, and agree on the scope and schedule for the project. Once the preliminary review scope is defined, we will perform all or part of the following tasks described in this approach. Task 2 — Development of Scope of Work and Project Plan After meeting with City staff, IBI's Project Manager will develop a detailed scope of work and project plan detailing the services to be performed including costs and estimated time for completion. Our project manager will be responsible for communicating the work plan to all the involved agencies 12 IBI GROUP
