<br />d. UNDERSTANDING OF NEED/
<br />SCHEDULE OF DELIVERY
<br />Ardurra understands that the City of Santa Ana is seeking
<br />professional construction management and inspection services
<br />to support the City in the timely and cost-efficient delivery of
<br />a variety of projects, reporting directly to the City's authorized
<br />representative. This contract is an initial three-year term with
<br />City option for two, one-year extension periods. According to the
<br />RFP, as -needed construction management efforts may include
<br />pre -construction tasks, managing construction so that the work
<br />complies with the contract documents, and supporting project
<br />closeout and the commissioning phase. Work will conform to
<br />requirements presented in the State's Construction Manual and
<br />the LAPM, as well as OCFCD encroachment permit and other
<br />agencies' regulatory permits. Types of projects may include street
<br />rehabilitation; sewer improvements; storm drain improvements;
<br />bridge construction; new building construction; water service
<br />and pipelines; pump and motor improvements; irrigation and
<br />landscaping; site improvements; concrete sidewalk; system
<br />controls and instrumentation; streets and park lighting; parks and
<br />recreation facility improvements; mechanical system; electrical
<br />system; and traffic signal improvements.
<br />Ardurra has experience with these types of projects and with
<br />various funding sources —from the local, state and federal
<br />levels. Our team understands public project delivery and has
<br />managed projects of all sizes and complexities using time -tested,
<br />customizable processes and procedures. Our approach is
<br />proactive, not reactive, This proactive philosophy will keep your
<br />project moving, your team engaged, and potential conflicts with
<br />the contractor to a minimum.
<br />Our goal is to be a true partner with the City, and we share your
<br />commitment to maintaining Santa Ana's infrastructure and quality
<br />of life.
<br />Ardurra accepts the scope of work included in Appendix
<br />Attachment 1 of the RFP. Below is our approach to critical
<br />elements of CM and inspection —delivering success through each
<br />phase of the project.
<br />Contracts for Public Works Inspection: For contracts involving
<br />public works inspection services, Ardurra requires the awarding
<br />public agency to complete DIR form PWC-100 solely for Ardurra
<br />Group, Inc. as the Prime Contractor specific to the awarded
<br />contract name and amount.
<br />Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) Compliance: Ardurra
<br />understands that should the City require the consultant to utilize
<br />resources through the CWA for its inspection services needs, the
<br />consultant will be reimbursed for any resulting costs associated
<br />with its compliance with the CWA.
<br />CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
<br />Safety. First and foremost, Ardurra always considers safety the
<br />most important issue on any construction project. Ardurra managers
<br />and inspectors are at a minimum 10-hour OSHA -certified. Our team
<br />will recommend key safety provisions to require the contractor to
<br />have competent safety personnel and site -specific safety programs
<br />employed on the project at all times and will monitor the contractor's
<br />operations for compliance with the project safety requirements and
<br />requisite provisions of state and federal law.
<br />Public Relations, The Ardurra team is empathetic to the motorists,
<br />pedestrians, cyclists, residents, and businesses that are affected
<br />by construction operations, and we will take a lead role to address
<br />public relations concerns. All inquiries and issues will be listened
<br />to and documented with accurate contact information for prompt
<br />follow-up. We are adept at mitigating impacts throughout the
<br />construction process and addressing issues expeditiously for
