TKE is currently and has been providing plan check and inspection services to SBMWD since 2005. D. APPROACH TKE and the City have a common goal, successful project delivery. Our definition of successful project delivery is: • Project Completion that Meets all Project Requirements • Project Completion within Budget • Project Completion on Schedule Our goal is not limited to project processing only but includes the incorporation of value engineering and constructability review. Through the evaluation and management of specific alternatives, we will facilitate the delivery of the most cost effective project alternative that meets design requirements and will provide for the greatest opportunity for expedited construction, all while ensuring the City’s interests remain protected at all times. To achieve our goal, we approach our projects by first developing a project plan. Our project plan considers the major issues described below and development of project tasks (Scope of Services) to be performed by the project team, preparation of task budgets and preparation of a schedule to complete each task. Prior to beginning preparation of a project plan and Scope of Services, we would perform the following: • Detailed Review of the Project • Preliminary Research and Data Collection • Client Inquiries • Field Reconnaissance To achieve our goal, we approach our projects by first developing a project plan. We have identified the following key elements: C ITY C OORDINATION AND P UBLIC M EETINGS TKE’s project staff will be available for meetings at the City as much as requested and as needed. Meeting with staff, developers, other consultants, and regulatory agencies will be vital to ensuring expedited project completion. The consultant engineer must be available as needed to address issues as they arise. Appropriate TKE staff will manage their schedule to meet the City needs and will manage other projects as required to ensure timely City needs are met. In addition, the TKE staff will be available to attend all project review meetings as requested by City staff. P ROJECT M ANAGEMENT Project management will be an essential element in all types of project plan check delivery. Effective communications will lead to effective management. Management will include weekly reviews of project budget and schedules and regular meetings with all project shareholders. For all projects, either development or capital improvement, the most important aspect of management will be to ensure that the City’s interests are protected to the maximum extent possible. TKE will ensure that public funds and impact fees are used for the benefit of the community. Any deviation from standards and requirements will be referred to the public works director and TKE will implement direction given by City staff. For development projects, project requirements, project schedule compliance and budget tracking will be important. Project requirements will be assessed by TKE staff and presented to the City’s management staff (i.e. Public Works Director). Upon receipt of direction from City administration, TKE staff will be responsible to verify that development Page | 12 On-Call Map Checking Services City of La Quinta SECTION 4 | W ORK P LAN/TECHNICAL A PPROACH review is completed in compliance with those project requirements. TKE’s effective project management techniques will ensure that compliance will occur. For developers, time is money. For the City, development assists the City’s economic engine. Therefore, maintaining the project schedule will be one of the most important tasks. Further, maintaining excellent communications will prevent any project processing misunderstandings and will avoid project delays. TKE management techniques will result in efficient project delivery. TKE is prepared to meet the delivery time parameters required by the City. A typical delivery time is listed below: • Map Submittal: May Check Turn-Around (From Receipt from City Staff) • 1st Plan Check: 15 Working Days • 2nd Plan Check: 10 Working Days • 3rd Plan Check: 10 Working Days R EGULATORY, S UBDIVISION M AP A CT AND C ITY S TANDARDS C OMPLIANCE Another primary function of TKE staff is to verify compliance with aspects of federal, state, and local laws as well as the subdivision map act and City standards. TKE is already well versed with federal, state and local development law and the map act requirements. Further, TKE will familiarize ourselves with City standards verifying that all construction related to engineering components, are constructed in accordance with these requirements and standards. W ORK Q UALITY AND C OST C ONTROLS TKE takes pride in its reputation for thoroughness, rapid turnaround, cost efficiency and overall quality of work, and believes that a high level of quality is needed on all services provided by TKE. Key components of the program include check lists, field reviews, and discussion with Client staff. High quality services yields ease of project oversight, smoother processing, minimal delays in the bidding phase, healthy number of bidders, consistent bids, minimized construction support cost, absence of design-related change orders, and reduced claims and dispute resolution costs. TKE believes that the most successful quality assurance program is one that is applied inherently throughout the entire process. This program requires not only formal procedures for checking but encourages the conscientious effort of experienced people to always “think quality” in every task performed throughout the design process. This program has become a natural element in all aspects of TKE’s management activities and will guide all services provided by TKE. Effective QA/QC includes assignment of experienced staff, continuity of staffing, project-specific work plan, schedule compliance, comprehensive field review and compilation of site data, established design procedures, established detailing standards, established checking procedures, including independent in-house QA/QC review, dual (independent) quantity estimates, and review by constructability expert. The Quality Assurance / Quality Control program is in place to ensure that services provided by TKE continues to exceed the standards of our clients and that we will deliver the projects on schedule and within budget. Regarding cost controls, TKE’s client manager will provide monthly progress reports documenting project progress for all projects assigned to TKE using a comprehensive project management summary.
