27 Understanding of City’s Needs
Willdan currently provides all of the identified services outlined in the City’s RFQ and is prepared to meet all of the conditions specified . Willdan is well qualified to provide the requested services to the City of South Gate.
Since 1964, Willdan has provided consulting services to hundreds of public agencies in the western United States. Our depth of experience and broad range of capabilities allow Willdan to offer comprehensive resources for efficient and convenient service. In addition, our expertise in the engineering and planning fields ensures innovative and effective solutions will be applied to all projects undertaken by Willdan.
Many of our specialists have a strong background and an intimate understanding of diverse programs for public agencies . This expertise provides the foundation for planning, design, inspection, and administration under agency programs, and offers added value with our unique familiarity with state- and federally-funded programs. We also place strong emphasis on communication and maintaining personal interaction with the community at large.
Our project approach begins with designating a complete project management team . Each project management team will be led by a principal representative with full authority to direct operations and commit resources. In addition to the principal representative, the management team will include expert staff specializing in the type of service requested. Our array of in-house experts allows Willdan to develop a specialized management team for each requested project.
In addition, Willdan’s size gives us the flexibility to undertake large projects and projects on a compressed time schedule. If a project arises that requires immediate or extra attention, Willdan’s flexibility allows tasks to be rapidly delegated to an expanded team of staff members . This ensures that the project will receive appropriate attention to detail and be completed in a timely fashion.
The first task of Willdan’s delegated project management team will be to establish a course of action. This task will begin by coordinating with the City to identify specific project objectives . With these objectives in mind, Willdan’s experienced professionals will actively identify areas of need and design solutions to address these needs. Our policy of open and often client coordination will ensure the established course of action and will be consistent with the City’s goals.
Once the course of action is established, Willdan will develop a project schedule . Each project schedule will be developed with the City’s project completion date in mind and will include a critical path and measurable milestones to ensure the project completion date is met . All project schedules will be submitted to the City to guarantee consistency with the City’s timeline.
In enacting and completing the course of action, Willdan strives to exceed client expectations for quality of work . Willdan has a history of completing projects on time, within budget, and beyond industry standards. Willdan is committed to providing this level of service to the City. As such, after each project is completed, Willdan will follow -up with the City to gather feedback on the City’s satisfaction with the project, and to identify methods to improve future service.

Statement of Qualifications
As Needed Professional Engineering
28 Multiple Task Order Project Management Approach Overview Our approach to serving the City on this contract is based upon our 60 -year history of serving public agencies. Willdan utilizes a management approach, whereby each assignment is undertaken by a project team. Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff with the background, experience, and availability best suited for the assignment . Willdan has designated a team to provide on -call support services to the City for specific projects/task orders. The fundamental goal of Willdan's team is to provide the City with the highest level of support in completing the as-needed special tasks. This will require close personal coordination between Willdan and the City. To accomplish this, we will conduct interactive meetings with City staff throughout the course of each assignment to ensure all issues are addressed. Our team has a broad variety of talent and experience in city engineering; development review; public works permitting and inspection; capital improvement project design, inspection, and contract administration; facility and infrastructure maintenance and repair; surveying; and soils inves tigation. Combined with our understanding of the desired services, Willdan can assist the City with successful completion of all engineering matters.
Willdan will commit the appropriate staff to ensure specific projects, as well as the overall contract, are successful. Our intended approach is to:
Fully understand each project
Review each project scope of work in detail with City staff Agree on course or extent of best-suited action
Proceed with project accordingly
Having successfully completed many other assignments of this type for other agencies within the Los Angeles and Southern California regions, Willdan's proposed team understands City processes and possesses the technical and communication skills that are vital to ensuring each task receives the necessary attention, objectives are met, schedules are adhered to, and project tasks are within budget.
Keys to Success – Task Order Project Management
Be proactive in informing City staff of project issues along with proposed resolutions Commit to project schedules
Develop and maintain collaborative, trusting working relationships with City staff Be flexible on staffing and types of services provided to meet City's needs Be cost-effective
Have continuous-improvement mentality
Be responsive to needs of City and involved communities
267
Statement of Qualifications
As Needed Professional Engineering
29 Communication Approach
Willdan recognizes that effective, ongoing cooperative
communication between all parties over the course of
any assignment is essential to successful project
completion. This communication starts with a project
kick-off meeting where the objectives and expectations of the City for each task order/assignment are clearly
articulated and understood by Willdan. In addition,
agreed-upon methods and scheduling of formal reporting
are established with identification of individuals to be involved in the project's decision -making process. This sets forth accountability and responsibility for informing and facilitating the project. As the project progresses, communication continues through regular correspondence, teleconference discussions, and meetings with City staff seeking direction on issues that may arise and keeping City staff apprised of the project. Clear and concise progress updates are provided. Emails and teleconferences are utilized whenever possible and appropriate to minimize City staff time spent in meetings.
Methodology
Willdan's methodology focuses heavily on client service and communications. As a firm with a strong public agency orientation, many of our client relationships are long -term and ones in which our staff develops intimate familiarity with the client's staff since we very often serve as an extension of public agency staff. As such, it is extremely important that our presence on each assignment is seamless.
Willdan's staff assigned as Project Manager, City Engineer, Land Surveyor, Traffic Engineer, Building Official, and other higher -level positions most often work independently of the other project team members, since they are generally working directly for and with public agency staff as a part of the agency's staff. In this instance, the project team’s role i s subservient to the primary assignment and only comes into play on a support basis or on a project-specific basis, such as for additional services for capital improvement project design, reviewing tract and parcel maps, and structural assessments.
Technical Approach
As previously stated, upon receipt of a project assignment or award, our project management will analyze the project and assign a Discipline Manager with the appropriate qualifications and experience to ensure tasks are completed in accordance with the City's goals and visions. Together, they will select qualified team members to provide technical support for the project. We will convey all-important matters to the assigned Discipline Manager and the selected project team as appropriate. The Discipline Manager will, then, take full responsibility for understanding the project requirements, detailing the project scope requirements, and estimating the fee to complete the project effectively and efficiently. The assigned Discipline Manager will maintain the tea m members assigned to the project from beginning to end. This means the same individuals responsible for design elements are the same individuals reviewing shop drawings, preparing as-built plans, or responding to questions during the bidding or construction process.
This management approach has been proven on past projects to be effective in delivering projects on time, within budget and to the client’s satisfaction.
268
Statement of Qualifications
As Needed Professional Engineering
30 The Six Key Components Approach
Project Reporting and
Meeting
Willdan staff will develop reports to be delivered electronically to key City of South Gate staff as requested using a standard memorandum format developed by our team and as approved by the City. Regular progress meetings will be conducted to acquire information, keep staff informed of key design decisions, and obtain staff concurrence on project issues as the City requests.
Staffing and Resource
Management Plan
Willdan is completely committed to providing the staffing and resources required to complete projects under this contract on schedule and with high quality. To ensure we meet this commitment, we prepare labor projections for all projects.
Projections are m ade for each individual project and then aggregated by the technical director to produce division/office -wide labor needs and identify shortages or surpluses.
Labor planning for this contract will be conducted on an individualized basis. Project Management, together with each assigned Discipline Manager, will identify the staff required to complete each awarded project and calculate the hours. This data will be input into our project staffing needs plan on a weekly basis. If the City awards Willdan a signif icant amount of work, Willdan will hire additional personnel, if needed, to provide additional support, as necessary.
For activities that do not require a specific person (i.e., draftsperson, technical aide, word processing, etc.), this estimate will be done on a position basis. Project staffing assignments will match the experience of personnel with the degree of project complexity. Because resources are often shared for any given project, our project managers are very involved in our staff workload projections.
Project Initiation
Our project approach includes our dedication to meet early with City of South Gate staff to finalize the scope, schedule, and process, as discussed above. The assigned Discipline Manager will hold a kick -off meeting with key City staff outlining the project schedule, specific needs, and project information as appropriate. The Discipline Manager will prepare the meeting agenda and notes and provide them to City staff in a timely manner. Once approved by the City, Willdan will await a notice to proceed from t he City of South Gate. At this point, we will begin preliminary engineering and the project officially begins.
Project Objectives
The objectives of any project are essentially the objectives of the City of South Gate.
Prior to initiating Willdan’s efforts, a thorough understanding of City concerns and objectives is essential to ensure project success. Willdan will work closely with City staff and other involved agencies to identify specific goals, objectives, and challenges. The initial project scope and needs assessment are vital since the City of Gate’s and other involved agencies' goals could impact the schedule and overall cost.
269
Statement of Qualifications
As Needed Professional Engineering
31 Project Scoping
Once the Discipline Manager has identified the City of South Gate ’s goals for a project, the Discipline Manager will work with project management to develop a comprehensive scope that clearly identifies the various tasks and associated deliverables – a critical component to ensure an effective and attainable project schedule. Willdan will develop a detailed scope of work that adheres to the sequence of tasks necessary to provide for project planning and design.
Development of a comprehensive scope of work will aid project management in minimizing miscommunication among all project team members, including City of South Gate staff and respective stakeholders.
Scheduling
Scheduling is a key component in any design process or project assignment. It enables the team to effectively deliver an on -time, within -budget project. It provides City staff and other reviewing agencies with the information they need to mobilize resources for timely reviews of project deliverables. The schedule allows the project team to mobilize appropriate staff in a timely manner to perform the tasks necessary for each deliverable.
After task requirements are identified, the Discipline Manager will work closely with Tyrone to determine staff availability. Tasks will, then, be allocated to project team members, depending upon the workload and skill sets relative to the scope.
Critical path methodology is used, and resource and cost loading are included when appropriate. Specific critical path items and key critical decisions that affect project progression are identified on a continuous basis.
Quality Assurance and Control
Quality assurance and control are critical to ensuring sound practices are applied and quality deliverables are produced. Adel Freij, PE, will serve as the Quality Assurance Manager overseeing the quality assurance activities for services provided to the C ity. Adel is an accomplished manager who assists public agencies in serving their constituents with temporary as -needed staffing assistance or long -term assignments. He accomplishes this through his skilled insights into hiring and selecting staff with the right qualifications to create a seamless transition between Willdan and agency staff. Adel provides innovative solutions in engineering and construction management services for large -scale multi-discipline public works projects – working diligently to me et public agency budgets and schedules. His areas of expertise encompass capital improvement program (CIP) implementation, annual budget preparation, funding and grant administration, stormwater/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) guide lines, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. Adel is also a proficient negotiator and collaborator with well-developed decision-making and organizational skills. Typical quality assurance activities entail ensuring the appropriate level of technical staff, monitoring the quality of assignment completion and turnaround times for reviews, providing expert guidance on challenging project components, and keeping open communication regarding contract performance with City personnel.

32 Keys to Success – Quality Assurance and Control
Project Kick-Off Meetings – All project team members will meet to discuss and clarify the project scope, schedule, and other pertinent information related to the service or project. This meeting is conducted upon receipt of the notice to proceed and prior to any work being performed. This meeting can be an in-person meeting or conference call depending on the complexity of the assigned project. Continual Communication – The appropriate people from Willdan identified in the kick -off meeting are responsible for keeping the City up to date on project status and issues raised throughout the project. This is accomplished through regular meetings, written status reports, or o ther means of communication requested.
Periodic Updates through Project Status Meetings – At the project kick-off meeting, the project team determines and selects meeting dates throughout the project to discuss coordination, issues, changes, and other information necessary to keep the project on track in terms of quality, schedule, and budget.
Objective Review of Project by Peers – Prior to the submittal of a project to the City, appropriate staff members review the project to ensure all information is accurate. Willdan staff conducting these reviews are not directly involved with the project – enabling objectivity in the review. Depending upon the complexity of the project, the four levels of our quality assurance review for project deliverables may entail:
Level 1 – peer review only
Level 2 – peer review and editorial review (documents) Level 3 – peer review, editorial review, and professional engineer review Level 4 – all elements of Level 3 plus additional reviews by specific technical experts Following our keys to success, Adel will assign senior staff members experienced in the required disciplines and not directly involved in the assignments to implement project -specific quality assurance activities.
Each senior member of staff will report directly to Adel but work closely with the Task Managers to ensure project objectives are met at project completion. Random audits will be conducted to ensure proper quality assurance activities have been accomplished with necessary corrective actions taken. These audits involve verifying task completion, validating the quality review, confirming comments resolution, and verifying that agreed -upon changes are reflected in each affected document. Adel will regularly seek feedback on how Willdan's team is performing and how we can improve upon the level of service.
