KCG currently provides similar on-call engineering services to 12 agencies, including the City of Huntington Beach. We understand the nature of on-call contracts and the responsiveness and quality - focused approach required to deliver these projects in a timely, efficient manner. 1 SECTION B - METHODOLOGY
B1 - Firm Overview and Approach
The Kreuzer Consulting Group (KCG) is a firm comprised of individuals who have spent their entire professional careers serving the public sector in Southern California.
We are led by our President, Rick Kreuzer, who has 40+ years of experience in the Public Works engineering industry. Our firm is a small firm which can provide a broad range of services to our clients. We currently have active on-call engineering contracts with multiple departments in the City of Anaheim, as well as with the Cities of Long Beach, Tustin, Brea, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Arcadia, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Stanton, Gardena, Downey, Culver City and Huntington Beach.
We also maintain strong relationships with subconsulting support firms that share our philosophy of hands- on principal involvement on all projects. Depending on a particular project's needs, our team would include of some, or all, of the following subconsultants:
• Rende Consulting - Structural Engineering
Clark & Green - Landscape Architecture
Harrington Geotechnical - Geotechnical
KCG has worked extensively with these firms on past projects with great success.
Our in-house staff are second to none. Their credentials as well as a detailed description of the wide range of projects we have delivered over the years are summarized in Sections C and D of these qualifications.
Our experience will translate to value for the City of Huntington Beach. Based upon our firm's extensive public works design experience, we believe the key issues for successful completion of on-call design projects center around the following key areas.
Effective Project Management
There is no doubt that all proposing firms will tout their abilities to effectively "manage" a project.
Unfortunately, many firms believe if they stay somewhat on schedule and submit their invoices on time they have been "effective" managers. We at KCG do not subscribe to this. Our core business philosophy is centered around effective management of all of our projects with the goal of making our clients job easier. The cornerstone goal of this philosophy is to "get out and stay out in front of the issues" on each and every project. We feel very strongly that our clients hire us for an assignment it is our obligation to bring it to a successful completion without having our hands held or being reliant on City staff to do our job for us. We know that cities have this hand-holding experience with consultants too frequently... KCG will not allow this to take place on this or any project. The way we achieve this objective is by providing seasoned engineers that are also effective managers, not only because they understand the project process but because they 2 understand the technical background of the design itself. We can anticipate issues faster than those managers who are reliant on younger design engineers to keep them informed. This disconnect cannot and will not happen at KCG because our Project Managers have hands on day to day involvement in the project design. Our Project Manager for the subject project will be Rick Kreuzer. Mr. Kreuzer is the President of KCG and has 40 years of experience managing and designing public works projects. Over the last 15 years, he has personally managed and/or designed over 50 roadway and public works infrastructure improvement projects for Southern California cities.
** Proactive Utility Coordination
Utility coordination is an element that, if not properly addressed and managed, can significantly effect a project schedule and budget. This work task is much more than gathering record drawings and plotting then on the plans. The success of this task is proactively managing the relationship with all utility agencies involved. It certainly requires the establishment of the existing location of utilities as a first step but the real key is identifying the impacts to these facilities early on in the design process and coordinating proactively with the affected agency staff/service planners to mitigate those impacts and facilitate needed relocations. Overlooking or addressing utility impacts late in the design process usually results in schedule overruns and cost increases during construction.
NDES Expertise
Water quality requirements have become a critical component of projects over the last decade.
Successful delivery of a project requires a firm that understands this reality and can deliver the permits required. KCG's stormwater specialist, Chris Becker, has a thorough understanding of the City's plans for long-term pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, while maintaining strict compliance with today's stringent water quality regulatory environment. He is a seasoned stormwater compliance expert that specializes in the municipal sector. He is a California Certified/Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) and Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD). KCG can turn- key all storm water compliance needs from site assessment, to report preparation, to site inspections and monitoring. We have a working knowledge of the complex California General Stormwater Permit for New Construction and are currently performing work for many cities, Caltrans and several developers and general contractors.
Focus and Experience
KCG's primary core business is civil design. Our staff has delivered successful street widening and rehabilitation and utility projects all around Southern California for the last two decades. We understand the design subtleties associated with public works design projects in urban settings.
Moreover, we provide in house experience in the complementary functions, namely water quality and community outreach, that have become so integral to the successful delivery of projects in today's world. This experience and focus will translate to value, via cost effective design, to the City of Huntington Beach.
3 On-Call Experience
The nature of on-call contracts requires a firm to be nimble and responsive. We are a small firm that prides ourselves on providing these qualities to our clients. This is evidenced by the number of active on-call contracts we maintain with other public agencies.
Project Quality and Delivery
Simply put, the ultimate success of a project is determined by the delivery of a quality design delivered on schedule. The following pages describe the tools and approaches KCG implements to insure that these objectives are achieved on all of our projects.
B2 - Project Controls and Project Delivery Process
Once a project is identified, the KCG Project Manager will meet with the City Project Manager or designated staff member responsible for the project to discuss the proposed scope of work, projected schedule, and estimated costs required to complete the detailed work. The KCG Team will not begin work on a project until a work order has been approved. Upon concurrence of all work order details, the City will issue the work order, and the KCG Team will begin the designated tasks.
The KCG Team, together with its supporting subconsultants, will provide the City with the resources necessary to successfully deliver the projects at hand. The following are the project controls we employ to deliver each project assignment.
* Schedule Control: KCG has extensive experience in managing projects through such automated scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project and Primavera. The KCG Project Manager will coordinate with the City Project Manager to determine the most appropriate scheduling software for this project. A monthly status of each project schedule will be provided and impacts to other project tasks will be noted if there are delays. Any delays or schedule modifications will be discussed with the City Project Manager and recommendations will be given for maintaining the overall schedule.
* Cost Control: KCG is committed to controlling costs through regular and timely discussions of work efforts and project accomplishments. KCG will utilize automated project accounting tools to ensure project completion within budget. Before the start of the project, a detailed scope of work will be established where tasks and subtasks are identified and a "per-task" budget will be estimated. Project team members will develop a scope of work that minimizes project cost, while ensuring a high-quality product. The KCG Team Project Manager will discuss with the City Project Manager key elements of the project budget and work scope before the project begins. In this way, unforeseen costs and potential delays will be minimized.
* Resource Allocation Tracking: Time spent on projects is recorded electronically on an integrated time sheet application for each work day and integrated into an automated tracking system. From the computerized system, the Project Manager can, at any time, obtain a detailed Project Progress Report that shows the amount of time spent per person, as well as the budget-per-task, year-to-date, and project-to-date. Expense sheets for professional services and expenses (from direct costs such as equipment, materials, and subcontractor services) are prepared weekly. These tools allow KCG to proactively manage the project delivery process and identify potential schedule and budget issues before they become a problem. We can also provide the City with a Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) for both manhours and costs which assists us with managing the flow of work and provides the City with anticipated monthly project cash flows for the entire project duration * Quality Assurance/ Quality Control: At KCG, we believe our "uniqueness" comes from our belief that quality control is rooted in the philosophy by which you conduct your business. It is true that quality can be monitored and controlled to some degree via checklists and independent reviews, but a true "quality" product comes from a firm's commitment to excel for their clients. Do they care about their product? KCG does. Do they have experienced staff overseeing or doing the work every step of the way? KCG will. Do they want the next job? KCG does. Are they staying out in front of the issues and "leading" the project? KCG will. Quality is a culture within a company...you either have it or you don't. This philosophy manifests itself in how we systematically approach QA/QC. This is a cornerstone element of KCG's overall approach to the management and control of our work. The graphic on the following page depicts KCG's approach to QA/QC on all of our projects.
All projects require a collaborative approach between our PM and team and the client. That said, we pride ourselves on being "low maintenance" and delivering successful projects with minimal supervision and oversight. This is the result of providing a solid team that is lead by a very experienced Project Manager. Typically, we will require the following assistance from City Staff regarding our work effort:
