S/0( tIVALQLI[7_, u, F. SCHEDULE Sloan Vazquez, as a firm and as designated City of Santa Ana project team members, have the schedule availability and capacity to fully complete the described tasks within the proposed timeframes. Our firm has a proven track record of successfully completing scopes of work and meeting deadlines. We have the experience to understand the time and resources necessary to effectively conduct the work described in this proposal, and the ability and bandwidth necessary to provide the City of Santa Ana the dedicated, professional consulting services required to achieve the City's goals. Fust One Sloan Vazquez anticipated completing the Part One Tasks within 60-90 days. Sloan Vazquez has the resources and experience necessary to go beyond rates and service listings to evaluate the value of each contract component and provide a thorough report comparing program and service levels, diversion results and the overall value of the contract in each of the listed municipalities. Part Two Sloan Vazquez anticipates completing Part Two tasks within 90 days. Part Two has been divided into two main components: development of the City of Santa Ana's service specifications and the extension or renegotiation of the current contract. The development of the service specifications is a critical milestone within this overall project. The specifications, which are built on the foundation of the rate studies and research, and then customized to the City of Santa Ana's specific needs through feedback from City Council, homeowners, business representatives and other stakeholders, serve as the guiding document for extension/renegotiation requirements or the development of an RFP and draft agreement. If Part One and Part Two Service Specifications are completed concurrently, there are opportunities to reduce the total amount of time required for these portions of the project. Part Three Sloan Vazquez anticipates completing Part Three tasks in five to six months. Combined, Part One and Part Three tasks would require approximately nine months to complete. The extensive research and data collection and thorough preparation of the City's service specifications significantly reduce the amount of time required to prepare an RFP, as most, if not all, key components have been identified and selected. The RFP process management schedule reflects the standard time frames used in RFPs, allowing proposers to review the RFP and draft agreement, participate in a Proposers' conference, submit written questions, and finally to submit an RFP. The evaluation typically requires 30 days, and the finalization of proposer selection and final negotiations can occur soon after, depending on City Council meeting schedules and availability. Overviews of the proposed schedules for Parts 1-3 of the project are provided in the tables below. All timeframes are open to City staff input and can be adjusted to meet the City's preferred timeframes and schedules.
