<br /> TAB E - Qualification/Personnel <br />RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR <br />Continuing Professional Consulting Engineering Services-Environmental Engineering <br />#BID 20-07-01 <br /> <br />1 <br />UNDERSTANDING OF THE FIRM – FINANCIAL STABILITY <br />Based in the United States and headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, Gallagher was <br />established in 1927. The company is the third largest global risk management and insurance <br />brokerage company in the world, with 2018 revenues of more than $6 billion. Gallagher has <br />assets that exceed $12.5 billion. Gallagher is a member of the Fortune 500 and, for eight <br />consecutive years, has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the World’s <br />most Ethical Companies. <br />SIZE OF WORKFORCE – AVAILABILITY OF PERSONNEL <br />Gallagher has more than 30,000 global employees. Our Team will serve as an integral part of the City’s Project Team <br />always being aware of our specific responsibilities to the City. GBTS has access t o a wide range of technical experts <br />capable of addressing any and all potential staffing requirements of this project. We have approximately 110 full-time <br />personnel in addition we can pull resources from other divisions of Gallagher Florida offices. <br />With a network throughout North America and more than 200 Environmental Health & Safety professionals (EHS) and <br />an additional 200 field professionals throughout the US, no firm is better positioned to assist with the City’s <br />Environmental needs. GBTS provides a unique combination of local expertise and the consistency that stems from a <br />centralized review and process. <br />That being said, GBTS can support the City with experienced staff should emergency deadlines or workload require <br />more manpower. GBTS offices are completely staffed and operational Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm. Staff <br />is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. <br />ON SCHEDULE – WITHIN BUDGET <br />In order for the GBTS Team to stay on schedule and within budget, we have created a particular process, which works, <br />once a Notice to Proceed and/or a Purchase Order is received from the client representative / department. <br />1. GBTS will develop an understanding of the project needs, objectives, and a scope of work, implementation <br />schedule and itemized budget will be presented in a proposal for the client’s approval. Once a Purchase Order is <br />received, GBTS will immediately initiate the project – coordinating directly with the client’s Project Manager. On <br />larger projects, GBTS initially schedule and conduct a kickoff meeting, and then proceed with the execution of the <br />project, providing periodic status reports. The work product deliverable, which will typically consist of a Draft <br />Report (for the client’s internal review), is followed by a Final Report to be delivered to the client upon completion <br />of the scope of work. In the event of an “emergency” project, we can move forward with project execution ahead <br />of the actual purchase order issuance, based on an Authorization to Proceed. <br />2. As an example for similar municipality project work, below is a typical project timeline scenario of our process and <br />procedure. <br /> EE&G communicates with the Client representative about budget, timing of field work, coordinating access, and <br />final deliverables for every project. We have a good record of being on-time and on budget with no change orders. <br />A typical project timeline is as follows: <br />a. Client representative contacts GBTS and requests a proposal. <br />b. GBTS provides the proposal within 48 hours of request.
