Through Willdan's long history of providing these identical services to cities and counties throughout California, we have ascertained that success working under this type of on -call contract is dependent upon understanding a variety of elements such as: • Short project durations and minimal lead times for assignments may be required • Flexibility in service assignments, understanding work to date, and coordinating completion of project tasks already started by agency staff is crucial • Staff availability to work assignments as they develop is critical to moving projects forward • Efficient use of resources is important for project assignments that are relatively small • Consistent, organized project management is vital due to the potentially large numbers of projects that may be in process • Regular attention to quality assurance and control is particularly important as short-term projects may limit the number of interim review steps often associated with a project -specific contract At any given time, Willdan has over 200 on -call contracts where project assignments are issued by the public agency on an as -needed basis. The project scopes, schedules, and costs are negotiated and agreed upon prior to project award. Every month, Willdan reports the progress performance of each project. The scope of services requested vary from project to project and can include any combination of constructability reviews, bidding assistance, construction management, construction inspection, labor compliance, materials testing, utility and outside agency coordination, and project closeout.
