PROPOSED STAFF AND EXPERIENCE
Ghirardelli possesses a highly qualified team of professionals to provide staff augmentation services for the City's Engineering and Public Works Departments. Below is a brief bio for our initial team member, Mr. Day:
Todd Day, PE - Project Manager / Engineer
Mr. Day is a California Licensed Professional Engineer with over thirty (30) years of civil, structural and municipal engineering experience with a proven record of delivering multiple projects on schedule and within budget. His experience includes working both for and with public works and local agencies, as well as with the State of California. Mr. Day's projects include bridge and roadway design and construction management, structural inspection and evaluation of bridge structures, municipal engineering, site engineering, Public Works and engineering management, drainage and stormwater, utilities, and park projects. He has also served as Municipal Engineer and Planning/Zoning Board Engineer for various municipalities in New Jersey.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City is seeking an experienced consultant to provide as-needed staff augmentation engineering services. The specific initial need is for augmentation in the City's CIP Division providing project management assistance on the City's Annual Overlay project. The services are anticipated to be on a part-time basis of approximately forty (40) hours per week for the project duration.
SCOPE OF WORK
Ghirardelli is proud to bring its experience with similar staff augmentation contracts and project management projects to the City. Our approach for this type of contract is built around the qualifications and experience of our staff and lessons learned from previous contracts. We realize that the success of any project depends on the ability of the team to proactively identify and anticipate problems before they become major issues and to resolve issues promptly before they impact the final outcome of the project. Ghirardelli will provide immediate project management services (part time, as needed) on the contract and is prepared to expand on those services when requested.
