Mead & Hunt adds an additional 600 employees to the resource pool available for this project. They offer specific expertise in the city-wide relocation of overhead utilities to underground conduit systems as well as additional service specialties which may come into play. Terracon, which will be performing geotechnical services, has a staff of over 3,500 employees in their national and international offices. While all the 3,500 staff members will not be involved in this project, it shows the depth of experience available at their disposal. Our other Team members include Patterson & Dewar Engineers for electrical design; Keith and Associates, Inc. for subsurface utility engineering and landscape architecture. In short, the Erdman Anthony/Mead & Hunt Team has the horsepower necessary to complete this contract in its entirety. Not only do we possess sufficient staff to get the job done, they are interconnected electronically in a way that makes it appear as if they were sitting in one room. All offices in our firm are technologically connected to one another via a computer network, video conferencing equipment, and email systems. As a result of this technology, Erdman Anthony can also tap additional resources from other offices to provide technical design, internal reviews or consultation as needed to meet tight project schedules. Having resources available to meet all project objectives is critical to the success of any project. This means that qualified personnel must be available in sufficient depth to address all disciplines, supported by equipment that meets or exceeds industry standards for speed and accuracy. Also essential is a Project Manager with a strong understanding of applicable codes and procedures, an equally strong understanding of our project Team’s capabilities, and an ability to function within a process-and results-oriented quality program. Our Team offers a large contingent of personnel in all required disciplines supported by the latest equipment to ensure that the objectives of the City can be expeditiously met throughout this contract. Understanding this, Erdman Anthony has committed a project management, design and sub-consultant Team to this assignment that offers a combination of proven leadership and the technological knowledge needed to make effective recommendations. Our Team’s organization includes project engineers for each of the major disciplines required by this assignment, providing a clear delineation of communication and accountability. With this leadership, you can be assured that our Team, not only has sufficient resources available to meet the needs of this contract, but that these resources will be effectively used to meet the objectives of the City. When our customer commits to their organization to deliver a project on time, they need a team that can back them up with reliable delivery of what they have promised. For this reason, schedule performance is like the most important criterion, even above cost, for most of our clients. Thus, we pay particular attention to timely completion of assigned tasks. One of the tools for effective schedule management is the establishment of technical milestones, and the communication of these milestones to all project staff so that they understand the importance of their individual role in meeting the overall project schedule. We do this through the routine conduct of a project kick-off meeting at the initiation of every assigned task; a clear, concise work plan; and routine monitoring of progress to ensure that all contributing elements are on track and in line with expenditures. Erdman Anthony is comprised of professionals that place emphasis on client satisfaction and a successful quality management system. Our philosophy is to gain client satisfaction by exercising good communication skills, being responsive to their needs, and delivering a final product that is on schedule, within budget, and positively exceeds their expectations. Our management and technical staff pride themselves on their ability to meet client dictated performance schedules. This is accomplished through a combined focus on management planning and by providing adequate qualified staff. Our relationship with our clients is extremely important to us. Prior to beginning the project, we will develop a complete understanding of the scope, schedule, and budget parameters. We will evaluate our staff resources and mobilize staff as necessary to insure we complete the project on schedule.
