City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />Attn: City Clerk <br />RFQ No. 18-08-01 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />and design, Smart Grid solutions, SCADA consulting and integration services, critical facility <br />testing and commissioning, power system studies, and grounding system design and testing. <br /> <br />Keith & Associates, Inc. – Subsurface Utility Locates and Landscape Architecture <br />Terracon – Geotechnical Engineering. Both firms were selected for their assignments due to <br />the good working relationships that we have with them, the high-quality work that they have <br />provided us on previous projects, and the services that they provide that complement our own <br />capabilities. <br /> <br />Commitment to Perform <br /> <br />This is a complicated project. We have already assigned the staff who will lead the various <br />elements of the project. The staff proposed in this proposal are the actual individuals who will <br />perform the work for the City and they are key players in our firms. In addition, we have many <br />qualified engineers who are able to assist us in support roles when needed, and we are small <br />enough to know them so that we can reach out to the right person at the right time. We are <br />also well-established firms (60+ years in business) with longevity that demonstrates that we will <br />be strong and present for the duration of this important project. <br /> <br />Our Team is capable of handling simultaneous projects due to a broad range of experie nce and <br />in-house production support. We are accustomed to handling multiple projects and managing <br />deadlines. Our ISO approved business management plan includes direction for our staff on how <br />to maintain schedules for our projects. We understand that time is a costly item for our clients <br />and we are committed to meeting our schedule obligations. Further, we give our team the tools <br />and resources needed to monitor and meet schedules including project management programs, <br />a principal in charge who oversees the projects from a bird’s eye view to make sure that the <br />overall goals of a project are being met, and a large team of professionals from various <br />locations who can be reassigned to a project when needed. Our ISO 9001 approved business <br />management policies help us to ensure that we are staffed appropriately for our workload, and <br />our customer satisfaction surveys prove that we meet our client expectations, including <br />providing a quality product on schedule. <br /> <br />Why Our Team is Best Qualified <br /> <br />We believe we are the best qualified team to perform the scope of this project for the following <br />reasons: <br /> <br />Our undergrounding plans are very detailed. Many undergrounding projects are led by <br />electrical engineers who don’t include the level of detail that civil engineers typically provide. <br />Since our firm has both electrical engineers and civil engineers, we are well versed in both <br />disciplines and have a better understanding of how to approach these projects.
