PROPOSED PROJECT PERSONNEL
NAI has selected a highly qualified project management team of professionals who
routinely provide similar services to other agencies. NAI has prepared two staffing
alternatives for the City’s consideration.
Alternative 1: This alternative essentially mirrors last year’s one and one half person’s
contract time. Nick Nickerson, who has 28 years of experience as a Project
Manager/Contract Administrator, will serve as the project lead and will be fully
supported by NAI Staff.
Alternative 2: This alternative proposes to assign Lorissa Gruehl, P.E., Senior Civil
Engineer, on a full time basis and project lead with full support by NAI Staff. This
alternative is flexible in a manner that will allow Lorissa to provide these services at a
desk at City Hall, from NAI’s local office, or a combination of the two. Nick Nickerson,
Senior Project Manager will continue to oversee/manage Lorissa’s work and serve as
the project lead for State and/or Federal Funded projects, the City’s Pavement
Management Plan Update, Capital Improvement Plan Development, and issues related
to the TUMF or Measure A programs.
The following is our proposed organization chart.

Project Understanding and Approach
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
AND APPROACH
Page 12
NAI provides program management support to many public agencies and understands
the special concerns of municipal engineering and public works departments. We are
sensitive to community impacts and recognize the need for preparing biddable,
constructible plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate (PS&E) packages; along
with schedules that are achievable considering the restraints of time, labor, materials
and equipment.
The NAI Team recognizes the value and need for immediate action to respond to time
sensitive project management issues. NAI will, in essence, serve as an extension of
City staff while working assigned work objectives. As such, our project lead, Nick
Nickerson, will be available and “reachable” before, during and after normal city
business hours by simply calling his mobile phone at (760) 861-6401.
NAI specializes in staff augmentation services and is prepared to provide the following
tasks under this contract:
Task 1 Prepare and submit necessary documents, and coordinate with various
regional, county, state and federal funding agencies to acquire and maintain
funding approval.
Administering regional, county, state or federal funding begins with the grant application
and does not end until the final report of expenditures is accepted and final payment is
received by the City. NAI has successfully delivered hundreds of millions of dollars'
worth of projects fully or partially funded with grant monies. NAI’s Project Team has a
better than average understanding and working knowledge of the various grant
requirements and/or procedures and stay current on the ever changing environment.
This knowledge and experience will ensure the successful delivery of capital projects
that are funded with these restricted sources.
Task 2 Prepare and track project schedules.
At the beginning of the fiscal year the NAI Team will meet with City Staff and assist in
prioritizing the delivery of each project listed within the City’s Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). NAI will prepare an overall critical path method schedule to clearly
illustrate when objectives for each project will be accomplished and the time relationship
with other projects. This timeline is invaluable in managing staff workload, design
consultant deliverables and anticipating approvals by city management and elected
policy makers.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
AND APPROACH
Page 13
Task 3 Prepare correspondence, reports, and memoranda necessary to administer
various City capital improvement projects.
The NAI Team fully understands the necessity of preparing clear and concise
correspondence that discusses the advantages and/or disadvantages of project
alternatives. We are fully prepared to draft any necessary correspondence, report, or
memorandum necessary to successfully deliver the city’s capital projects.
Task 4 Assist with bidding procedures, prepare bid summary comparisons in a table
format, and make recommendations for City Council consideration to award
Public Works contracts for construction.
This critical objective begins with the preparation of biddable specifications,
constructible plans, and realistic engineer’s estimate (PS&E) package. The NAI Team,
fully experienced with city procedures, will assist with plan checks, verifying engineer’s
estimate, and preparing the "front end" of the project specifications. We will also assist
in responding to contractor requests for information (RFI), preparing any necessary
addenda to the bid documents, preparing bid comparison summaries that compare the
bids received to the engineer’s estimate, performing due diligence on the low bidder,
and preparing a staff report with award findings and recommendations for consideration
by the City Council.
Task 5 Prepare and conduct informal request for proposals to construction support
sub-consultants, summarize proposals received and make recommendations
for award of Professional Services Agreements.
The NAI Team has a strong working knowledge of the City’s Consultant Selection
Process for both small and large projects. We will draft comprehensive Request for
Proposal (RFP) and/or Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that clearly define the project
scope and intent and identifies critical path schedule or administrative issues. We will
incorporate State and/or Federal requirements when necessary. We will negotiate the
consultant’s scope of work, negotiate the right fee, prepare resultant professional
services agreement, and prepare a staff report with consultant selection findings and
recommendations for consideration by the City Council.
Task 6 Monitor and report on project status, budget vs. actual expenditures, and
contract time vs. actual time.
The NAI Team will provide project specific input to the departments “Master Schedule”
which provides a status of all critical path project issues. We will be prepared to report
all project matters related to budget, expected expenditures and delivery schedule in the
Department's monthly Master Schedule meeting or any necessary impromptu meeting.
We will also prepare for and attend the bi-monthly meeting with Finance Department
staff if requested.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
AND APPROACH
Page 14
Task 7 Prepare staff reports for City Council consideration.
The NAI Team will continue to prepare any necessary staff report that ensures the
successful deliver of assigned capital projects. We have unique knowledge of the City's
preferred format saving City Staff review time and effort.
Task 8 Prepare and/or manage the City’s Development Impact Fee Update.
The NAI Team is thoroughly familiar with the City’s Development Impact Fee Study.
We understand all of its components and are fully capable of updating the fee study.
We also have considerable experience working with the Desert Valley Builders
Association (DVBA) staff. This experience as proven invaluable during past Fee Study
updates.
Task 9 Assistance with issues associated with the Coachella Valley Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program.
NAI’s Principal/Senior Project Manager was instrumental in the development of the
Coachella Valley Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program while serving
as the Director of Transportation and Planning for the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments. As such, NAI is more qualified than most to assist the City with TUMF
related issues.
Task 10 Assistance with the Measure A ½ Cent Sales Tax Capital Improvement Plan
and Maintenance of Effort requirements.
The Measure A ½ Cent Sales Tax policies and procedures were also developed by
CVAG in conjunction with its TUMF Program. NAI has full knowledge of these
requirements and will continue to advise the City on any matter necessary to remain in
compliance to ensure the City’s local funding share is not forfeit.
Task 11 Provide design services for minor Capital Improvement Projects.
The NAI Team is fully capable of providing civil design services and will continue to be
flexible and responsive as directed by the City.
Task 12 Other duties as assigned by the Public Works Director/City Engineer.
The NAI Team is at your service.
