CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) NO. 20-07-01 <br />8 <br />City of <br /> <br />Work Execution <br />When the City issues a notice to proceed or a purchase order, RADISE will start execution of the work as defined in <br />the agreed scope. <br /> <br />Safety is a priority at RADISE. A safety checklist is used on every job and is developed at this point in the project. <br />A typical project may include: <br /> Field exploration (drilling and sample testing) <br /> Laboratory Material testing <br /> Engineering analysis and recommendations <br /> Materials testing <br /> Engineering inspections <br /> <br />Work Schedule <br />RADISE will rapidly address the City’s needs and the contract requirements 24/7, 365 days per year, and will make <br />the interaction and transition between the City’s PM and RADISE seamless. RADISE will provide the City with an <br />accessible single point of contact, Project Manager (PM), Mr. Andrew Nixon, P.E. As the PM and primary point of <br />contact, when contacted by the City, Andrew will appoint the most qualified staff to ensure that every assignment is <br />properly fulfilled for the success of the Contract requirements. As the PM, Mr. Nixon’s role will be to setup the project <br />following the request, subsequently meeting with the City’s PM to fully discuss the scope and understanding of the <br />project, all potential issues, any budget constraints, etc., that the PM may anticipate. RADISE will then prepare a cost <br />proposal with our understanding of the scope of services and a project cost summary, along with the anticipated project <br />schedule and staffing requirements anticipated for the project for the PM’s review and approval. RADISE will deliver <br />the approved work assignments in the time frame agreed as part of the work scope. Depending on the length of the <br />work request, there may be progress reports/deliverables and/or interim progress reports as required by the City. If <br />there is any delay due to bad weather, or equipment failure, we will immediately communicate with the City PM. Mr. <br />Nixon will engage the right staff to ensure the highest level of expertise on the project. He will also take into <br />consideration logistics and the ability to rapidly respond to requests, day or night, in addition to cost saving items to <br />measure. Our goal will be to respond with our best effort to perform the assigned tasks. Mr. Nixon will attend pre- <br />construction meetings, perform site visits, and utilize his expertise and those of his Team to provide innovative and <br />cost saving solutions to each and every Task Order. He understands that he is ultimately responsible for managing the <br />entire Contract, and his experience will ensure that individual task order assignments, personnel responsiveness and <br />cost saving measures exceed the City’s expectations. <br /> <br />Project Management and Communication <br />Project Management will be done through proper communication with the City and a single point of contact, Andrew <br />Nixon, PE, in general accordance with the guidelines established by the Project Management Institute Standards <br />Committee entitled, “Project Management Body of Knowledge”. If there are any changes in schedule or issues during <br />the project, RADISE will immediately communicate with the City to reach a mutual agreement. <br /> <br />RADISE understands the importance of continuous communication, acting as a trusted extension of the City. The <br />RADISE staff are all equipped with SMART phones for update calls and texts, and Laptop computers so that daily <br />reports can be sent. To manage the Contract and Task Orders, RADISE will host frequent project progress meetings, <br />along with intermediate conference calls to allow all of the stake holders to be on the same page, and provide input on <br />potential project or staffing issues, scheduling constraints, etc. We understand that the City PM’s require concise, timely <br />and transparent coordination about our daily activities, and that we are responsible for informing the City promptly <br />when the test results do not match. RADISE is committed to an open line of communication among the Inspection and
