Our approach to work will focus upon three main categories as discussed below:project/task understanding, communication, and nimble response. VEI staff, led by Jeff Meiter as the main point of contact, will coordinate with the appropriate City staff to understand the scope and primary concerns of each assigned task. This understanding will increase the efficiency of task and eliminate potential errors as well as potential extended reviews. Upon receiving a “Notice to Proceed”, VEI staff will retrieve any necessary documents from the City and confirm any special circumstances (timing, response media, delivery method) required to complete the review. Once the scope item is prepared/completed, the documents will be delivered to the City and a meeting requested to discuss any comments or challenges that are presented. We want to make sure that every tasks is delivered with the information that is requested. Communication is key to the success of any project. From the beginning of any task, the VEI team will think and act as an extension of City staff, so as to proceed with the same mind as City staff. This communication will continually be reinforced throughout the life of the contract, so as to aid in advancing the design, or to bring up a challenge that needs to be considered to find to a solution. Documentation for each task will be included in transmittals, to determine the current status of each task item, again perpetuating and furthering communication. The VEI team will employ a combination of face-to-face meetings along with on-line video conference meetings (which could be scheduled on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at the discression of the City) to continue to promote communication. Our goal is to provide a transparent extension of City staff, so that the constituents of the City would not see any difference in the work. As a small business, VEI staff had been trained to be nimble and dexterious in their responses to any required task. Staff members are sometime required to wear multiple hats, which adds to their capabilities as well as promotes a more comprehensive response. For instance, providing plan reviews for civil plans which with the broad, nimble eye of a surveying background will catch missing surveying information such as benchmarks or basis of bearings. Nimble thinking requires out of the box considerations. VEI staff will utilize City standards and guidelines in their task exection, but will look for innovative and efficient solutions to augment and better the response to the request. This type of dexterious response will be employed on every task that is requested of VEI staff. In addition, responsiveness is a requirement to be successful. Phone calls and correspondances from the City will be responded to in less than 24 hours and staff will retrieve and deliver information in a timely manner. Extension of the City Our goal is to think and act as the City and be a transparent, seamless extension to the existing City staff to provide high quality work and timely responses to the constituents of the City. On-Call Map Checking Services Page 11 of 14 4.2 Scope of Work The following are typical tasks we expect to perform.
