CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) NO. 20-07-01 9 City of Testing personnel, Administrators, Engineers and PMs. This line of communication will facilitate the prompt solution of any issues and bring together all of the facts to ensure the quality of materials, testing, equipment and methodologies. Our PM, Mr. Nixon, will provide project updates weekly to the City PM, or at more frequent intervals as the situation may warrant, to communicate schedules, attend meetings, and in general, to be an extension of the City Staff. Quality Assurance/Quality Control Our approach to quality control is to have properly trained personnel working on the project to achieve quality results. We have documented our procedures in a QA/QC handbook. Work is routinely checked at multiple levels prior to presenting the results. A tracking and responsibility stamp is used to mark the progress of all the submittal documents. Our Project Managers/Professional Engineers perform periodic quality assurance peer reviews, and all our geotechnical reports are reviewed and signed by three engineers. Also, we consider the timeliness and accuracy of our invoices as well as any other forms and reports required by the City, part of our quality control. Approach to Geotechnical Services The scope of work of this contract is to provide Geotechnical Engineering Services to the City for a broad range of transportation, facility and improvement projects. Work will be assigned on an-as needed, task assigned basis. The RADISE team is fully committed and dedicated to providing whatever resources are required to support the timely and cost-effective performance of the specific work to be identified in each task authorization. Geotechnical engineering is defined by RADISE as, “The investigation and engineering evaluation of earth materials including soil, rock, groundwater and man-made materials and their interaction with earth retention systems, structural foundations and other civil engineering works. The practice involves the application of the principles of soil mechanics and the earth sciences, and requires a sound knowledge of engineering principles, formulas, construction techniques and performance evaluation of civil engineering works influenced by earth materials.” Our project approach is based upon providing cost effective, timely and responsive service to the City which is sensitive to the environmental conditions of each individual site, accessibility constraints, design requirements, and budgetary and schedule objectives as expressed by the City. Our project coordination approach also focuses on providing seamless coordination and communication with the City staff to achieve the cost, schedule, technical and quality objectives. Our team will provide the City with highly experienced and qualified team personnel and equipment/testing resources. General Project Overview Our generic contract and individual project approach address the following issues: 1. Our organizational structure designates a dedicated RADISE Project Manager with the responsibility to oversee project requirements and to assure that qualified, adequate resources are applied to the project. 2. The RADISE team will develop Task Specific Work Plans consistent with the scope assignment and complexity of each work authorization. Each plan would be developed and approved by the City at the very onset of the task and implemented for each individual work authorization. 3. Each task is directed, managed, executed and completed by a team of qualified, experienced and dedicated professionals. Each work authorization will be completed by assigning team staff with proven expertise in projects of similar scale and complexity, under the direction of one project manager serving as the direct liaison or single point of contact to the City. 4. Well established in-house quality assurance and quality control procedures will include an emphasis on responsive services and timely reporting, innovative approaches, value engineering and constructability reviews as needed and where requested.
