3. SERVICE APPROACH
STRUCTURED APPROACH: We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable of providing the city with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies, including written manuals on quality control, project management, and design procedures for its staff and for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in an efficient and cost -effective manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of the specific contract for the specific project. • Project Management : Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems.
This requires extensive hands-on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget. • Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner. • Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery : The baseline
Transtech Proposal for CIP Engineer, Project Manager and Inspector Services Proposal 9
schedule should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans. • Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies, weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the p roject to the client in organized files as well as pdf files.
• Safety and Security : We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements, OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities.
• Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final reimbursement documentation, follow -up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report.
• Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. • Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project participants a common project information and file sharing platform.
PROJECT DELIVERY, PLANNING AND EXECUTION APPROACH: Project delivery, on time and on budget, may involve the process steps listed below:
• Active involvement early in the project and a thorough understanding of the agencies goals and objectives.
• Management of scope and quality (i.e., is the available budget and the desired scope consistent and feasible?).
• Identify deliverables, phasing, and overall project schedule. (This specifically includes project closeout procedures. Never wait until the last minute to define expectations for project completion.) • Creation of a basic work breakdown structure. (This is also the time to consider potential alternatives.) • Identification of the critical activities and the required path from beginning to successful completion. • Assembly of necessary and effective team members.
• Identify the owner of the project and the project point of contact. • Identification of critical stakeholders and definition of their respective roles. • Establish the total project budget and the total project schedule. • Identification of milestone events required to evaluate and/or verify project performance. • Identify, assesses likelihood, mitigate, and assign potential risks. • Define quality control procedures, including code required special inspection and testing. • Define quality assurance procedures, including review and acceptance of special inspection reports and testing results.
• Monitor costs against the established budget and guard against unfunded scope creep. • Monitor actual progress against the established project schedule.
To be cost effective, the management of projects should be tailored to the actual project. Steps and processes that are required for some projects are not necessarily required to all projects. For the same reason, staffing should be tailored to meet the needs of the specific project, and available staffing should be shared among multiple projects where increased efficiency can be achieved.
CIP MANAGEMENT: Transtech manages Capital Project Program and maintains CIP Matrix and Schedule for various contract Cities. The CIP Matrix includes a detailed tracking info for each CIP, as well as a high -level project schedule status in bar chart format for various pro ject phases. The CIP Matrix is updated frequently, and project status is presented to City Management at management meetings, as well as to City Council when directed by the City Management.
Transtech Proposal for CIP Engineer, Project Manager and Inspector Services Proposal 10
DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND MEASURES: Following are description of the due diligence activities and measures that maybe considered to avoid/minimize the occurrence/impacts of unforeseen conditions:
• In our view, due diligence is related to, but distinctly different from quality control and/or quality assurance. Due diligence, in this context, is the care and effort during all project phases, from project planning, design thru construction.
• Effective project controls part of the diligence activities, and lead to developing efficient measures and resolutions, and play an important role to keep complex projects on track. They help teams and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before the y become expensive, time -consuming problems.
With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give the project team the data they need to set realistic expectations, and plan and manage the project with efficiently.
• Also, when an unforeseen condition occurs, it is important to quickly assess the potential impact of such condition on the schedule and project’s critical path, and deal with the issue accordingly. For example, an unforeseen condition that may lead to pote ntial delay and delay claims (in addition to direct construction work cost related to the condition), would have high priority, and may require to proceed with the work under specific monitoring of this specific work separately, while the facts and responsibilities are sorted out, and an appropriate change order is finalized. • Identifying potential construction risks prior to the start of construction can lead to success. During preconstruction, review of construction and contract documents in an effort to identify risks or concerns prior to the start of construction, will minimize the potential of unforeseen conditions.
COORDINATION WITH CITY: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. We will maintain and establish and maintain a close working relationship with City staff. We will manage assigned projects, carefully c ontrol costs and resources, and complete assigned work on schedule. We will provide progress reports to the city at regular intervals.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Funding Programming
High-Level CIP Schedule Tracker
Transtech Proposal for CIP Engineer, Project Manager and Inspector Services Proposal 11
METHODS/PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING /PUBLISHING PROJECT STATUS REPORTS/RECORDS: Project status reporting is another area where the solution should be tailored to the size and scope of the project being managed and the actual reporting product anticipated by the city. In addition to the size and scope of the project, the actual point i n time of the project matters. For example, project status reporting for a design building project that is currently preparing bridging documents will be significantly different from the report that would be prepared once construction has commenced.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM: During construction, an effective Quality Assurance Program will ensure the materials and workmanship incorporated into project conform to the requirements of the contract plans and specifications including approved changes. We believe that quality control is the setting of minimum standards and/or quality requirements for the specific project. Quality assurance is the means by which the quality control measures will be monitored and/or enforced. We also believe that quality control and quality assurance measures need to be developed jointly with the client. To effectively establish quality control measures, we must understand the County’s specific expectations and/or level of desired quality for the specific project. Once the expe ctations have been defined, and the quality control measures established, the quality assurance measures can be established. A significant part of establishing the quality assurance measures includes the timing of the measure. QC/QA can only be effective when the measures are applied and/or evaluated in a timely manner.
VALUE ENGINEERING: Depending on a project’s size, complexity and the owner’s requirements, Value Engineering may also be considered. The Value Engineering may consist of a systematic process of review and analysis of the project during the concept and design phases, by a multi-disciplined team of persons not involved in the project, may include recommendations such as:
• To improve the value and quality of the project; To provide the needed functions safely, reliably, and at the lowest overall cost; To reduce the time to complete the project; To combine or eliminate otherwise inefficient use of costly parts of the original proposed design for the project.
SCHEDULE CONTROL: Transtech has a proven track record for completing projects on time. Part of our role as Project Managers is to develop, review, update and manage the project schedules and confirm that tasks are scheduled within reasonable and appropriate time frames. We constantly review, monitor, and update the schedule to confirm it is in compliance with the original schedule and that related coordination with external/3rd parties/regulatory agencies/utility companies, etc. are on track. If the look ahead schedule is not in compliance with the original schedule, we take appropriate actions to avoid potential delays. Project schedule controls are essential to keep complex construction projects on budget and on time. They help teams and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before they become expensive, time -consuming problems. With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give leadership the data they need to set realistic expectations, manage sub contractors, and plan with confidence. Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.
COST CONTROL AND CHANGE ORDER MANAGEMENT: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost -effective manner. A number of different factors can influence Costs and the development of Change Orders on projects, which can result from either foreseen or unforeseen conditions. Our approach and strategy is structured based on minimizing cost and schedule impacts, while evaluating change orders in a timely, fair and equitable manner.
Our initial evaluation of a change order request incudes various elements:
• Is the proposed change order necessary to complete the work as contemplated at the time the plans
Transtech Proposal for CIP Engineer, Project Manager and Inspector Services Proposal 12
and specifications were approved?
• Is the proposed work already covered in the contract? • What is the overall impact on the planned work?
• Will the proposed change order affect or change the contractor’s planned method of performing the work?
• Will the ordered change cause a work-character change? • Will the contract time be affected?
• What are the impacts of adjusting contract time?
• What methods of payment should be used?
• Are there sufficient contingency funds? If not, can additional funds be obtained soon enough to prevent delays?
• Does the proposed change adhere to the approved environmental document, existing permit conditions, utility obligations, and right-of-way agreements?
Approach to efficient change order resolution:
• For the negotiations to be successful, it is important that the owner and the contractor be objective in their analysis of the cost and time to complete the work scope that is defined by the potential Change Order. Frequently, the process suffers because o f differing personalities and from heightened emotions.
To be productive, the focus of the negotiations should remain on the factual circumstances that are related to the Change Order.
• During negotiations, disagreements are often experienced, which can impede the progress for finalizing the Change Order. It is important to actively resolve any disputes as they develop so that an accord between parties can be reached in a timely manner. This attention by the parties will help to minimize the filing of claims on a project.
• It is advantageous to both the owner and the contractor that potential Change Orders on a project are processed in a fair, equitable, and timely manner. The failure to do so most often results in an increased probability of extended disputes and claims between the owner and the contractor.
Project Partnering: Based on project’s size and complexity, Project Partnering may also be considered:
• Partnering is a relationship between the owner and the contractor, formed in order to effectively complete the contract to the benefit of both parties. Through trust, cooperation and teamwork, the goal is to resolve conflicts at the lowest possible level. • Generally, the costs related to Project Partnering are shared between the owner and the contractor. If formal Project Partnering is desired, it should be specified in the contract specifications. Informal partnering may also be beneficial and does not require contract provisions to be implemented.
PROJECT CONTROLS: Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the s pecific software is generally a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.
Transtech’s In-house project control procedures and system: Transtech has developed its in -house Project Control Procedures and System, which f ollows guidelines similar to what is described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Following is the link to Transtech’s Project Control Procedures and System: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ovqszv2odb0egxp6qdo3f/CIP-Filing-System-Index-v20240212.100- 003.pdf?rlkey=rart96lbt7yif4qka3y5tck1n&dl=0

PUBLIC OUTREACH: Effective community outreach serves as tool for successful implementation of projects.
Transtech provides an effective and pro-active community outreach approach and informs the community of work activities and impacts in advance. On projects that are more impactive to community, we have implemented additional public outreach tools, such as setting up a project information website.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION (CALTRANS LAPM) FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS (PRIMARILY TRANSPORTATION/INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS):
For construction contract administration, we follow guidelines similar to described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). LAPM has been prepared to aid California local agencies scope, organize, design, construct and maintain their public transportation facilities when they seek Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded federal-aid or state funding. This manual describes the processes, procedures, documents, authorizations, approvals and certifications, which are required in order to receive federal-aid and/or state funds for many types of local transportation projects.

✓ Our services are founded on the principals of Total Quality Management for Total Customer Care and Satisfaction.
✓ All telephone calls or e -mails received are returned within the same working day, or the following day.
We take pride in our “Same Day Response” motto.
