• Both the overhead and underground systems are maintained until utilities are converted over to the new <br />underground system. One of the more challenging areas of the conversion process is that a delay by just one of <br />the utility providers can impede the removal of the existing utility poles. We have learned that scheduling and <br />coordination with the utilities to meet a common conversion deadline is paramount to this effort. <br />• We have performed utility underground conversion projects in other tourist/vacation cities where the <br />construction season was limited. Based on that experience, where restricted construction seasons were enforced, <br />we have found that the conversion process typically takes two construction seasons. <br />• It is imperative that the project is let at the right time of year and that the contractor is ready to mobilize at the <br />start of the construction season. <br />• Typically, the conduit and equipment are installed in the first construction season. Then the less intensive <br />construction activity of installing the underground cable/wire is performed by the utilities between the first and <br />second construction season. Finally, the overhead system is removed during the second construction season. <br /> <br />In summary, the Erdman Anthony/Mead & Hunt Team uniquely understands the City’s needs for this assignment and has <br />the staff with the expertise and experience needed to meet your objectives. We have developed a culture over the years <br />that has made us an industry leader through the implementation of internal quality procedures that emphasize strong <br />leadership, effective management of schedules and budgets, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. We <br />hope to demonstrate the high quality of our services as your consultant for this contract, and pledge that you will receive <br />our highest degree of attention and service. <br /> <br />I.
