REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 20-07-01 <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TAB C: COVER LETTER AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />engineering and planning services will be funded through the Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development (HUD), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Florida Inland Navigation <br />District (FIND), or other federal and state granting authorities. All federal and state regulations <br />pertaining to any grant related project shall apply. <br />Craven Thompson & Associates is currently under contract for a number of projects with <br />multiple clients. In 2019, Craven Thompson was at a company-wide utilization rate of 67%. The <br />business plan target composite utilization rate for the company is 75%. The targeted rate <br />accounts for holiday, vacation, marketing, administration, illness, and other non-billable time. We <br />employ a very small yet efficient number of administration personnel which contributes <br />significantly to reducing our costs. <br />Our projected workload is anticipated to be well below the 2019 level for the next twelve months <br />as a result of the pandemic. We should be at a company-wide utilization of approximately 50% at <br />that time. Our surveying, engineering and CEI staff is extremely underutilized at this time. After <br />that time (one year), assuming no new major projects are initiated, we anticipate that we will <br />improve slightly to roughly 55% utilization, still well below our capacity. Our surveyors, engineers, <br />and construction services personnel will be able to devote all necessary time to any projects <br />assigned by Sunny Isles Beach. Based on our current and projected workload, the City can be <br />assured that Craven Thompson will provide the staff as identified and the resources necessary to <br />complete the services on time and within the budget requirements. <br />Craven Thompson is willing to meet any location, budget, task orders or minority business <br />enterprise procurement goals if any are set. We commit that at all times during the term of the <br />Agreement we will maintain in good standing all required licenses, certifications and permits <br />required under federal, state and local laws necessary to perform the identified services. Craven <br />Thompson commits to perform the work in accordance with the terms of the proposal being <br />submitted. <br />Authorized Representative: <br />Patrick J.
