Section 1 – General Description of the Firm’s Experience
SPAAN Tech has over 10 years of corporate experience in delivering professional engineering services to federal, state, and local governments in addition to commercial organizations. The Primary Engineering Disciplines provided were: Civil Engineering, Construction Management Services, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
Engineering Services related to general engineering (Civil, Construction Management, Electrical and Mechanical) were provided to the United States Department of Energy, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Chicago Transit Authority, the City of Chicago Department of Aviation, the City of Chicago Department of Water Management, the Chicago Housing Authority, the Lake County Division of Transportation, Cook County, the Chicago Public School System, the City of Gary in Indiana, the Chicago Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, the Illinois Capital Development Board, and Commonwealth Edison. The Civil Engineering services included: continuous schedule enforcement; design compliance within established budgets; control of the scope of work; best use of individual team members’ expertise; maximum avoidance of delays, changes and claims; application and integration of comprehensive project controls; design quality assurance throughout the design process; consideration of material, systems and process alternatives, and code compliance review. The Electrical Engineering services included: the design of circuits and systems; engineering management; Intelligent Transportation Systems; control systems and professional communications.
The Mechanical Engineering services included: life cycle management; analysis of program goals, mission and objectives; assessment support; investigative engineering services; technical analysis and technical writing. Program Management services are currently being provided to the United States Department of Energy at the Argonne National Laboratory. These services include strategic planning, transportation support services, technical consulting and program management.
SPAAN Tech’s Plan to accomplish an assignment would commence upon issuance of a specific task order. SPAAN Tech would assign a qualified Project Manager who would assemble a team of personnel who had the requisite knowledge to execute that particular task. The team would be selected based on the experience and qualifications required to effectively complete this task. This team would meet with GSA to review the task requirements and fully understand the scope of work. As required, a fee proposal would be submitted for approval by the GSA. The quality of the project is also carefully monitored throughout the progress of the task. SPAAN Tech has an established Quality Control Plan that has been successfully used on several projects. The objective of this plan is to provide a review process to meet the technical and functional requirements of the task. This oversight at the task level would be applied to the overall contract to assure quality results. All project data, surveys, and meetings would be documented and reviewed prior to submittal to the Agency. The tasks would be reviewed in the context of the overall contract to assure that all the client’s objectives are met. SPAAN Tech’s approach has resulted in the effective execution of several Professional Engineering projects. We are confident that our experience, qualifications, and commitment will provide GSA with a partner that has demonstrated the capability for successful completion.
Section 2 - Design Management Plan for Multi-Discipline Projects
The Design Management Plan in effect for all multi-discipline engineering and architectural assignments at SPAAN Tech, Inc. (STI) begins with a review of the Scope of Services by the Quality Manager (QM), to determine the activities, processes and deliverables that will be subject to an internal audit or review. The QM meets with upper management and the Project Manager to review the Organization Chart depicting the lines of communication, internal and external, from STI to its Sub-consultants and to the Client. The QM’s position is noted with a direct link to both Management and the technical reviewers on the project.
Under a Blanket Purchase Agreement, which generates tasks on an as-needed basis, the QM prepares a task-specific Quality Control Plan (QCP) upon receipt of a Task Order, utilizing the existing STI base document and supplementing it with any necessary checklists, and coordinating the reviews with the project schedule to ensure that all submittals are available for review before the delivery date. The QCP defines the policies, plans, procedures, and organization necessary to exercise control over workmanship and operations to assure quality in all data collection, assessments and deliverables prepared by STI. The QCP is communicated, implemented, and maintained at all levels of the organization, and applies to Sub-consultants on the project. The primary aspect of a successful QCP is the use of objective reviewers that are not actively involved in the preparation of the project documents. This allows for the discovery of anomalies that need to be addressed to avoid construction change orders.
The QCP addresses the role of Management, assigns overview responsibility and accountability for each design discipline that will be involved in the project. The QCP delegates authority and specifies milestones for internal audits as well as for an annual review of the effectiveness of the QCP itself. The QCP links the budget for an assignment with the budget for reviews and allows both time and fee to implement a thorough, objective review. During the course of a project, if it is determined that the QCP needs to be revised, it is revised to fit the needs of the project.
The QCP establishes a documented system for Quality Assurance. It supports the client preferences and the format of the deliverables. It specifies a system for Document Control including the management and retrieval of Documents and Document revisions. All checklists resulting from any previous submittals are used to ensure that all review comments have been addressed.
The QCP provides a system for implementation of corrective action, and ensures that the assigned staff is familiar with all applicable client resources, ranging from design criteria, Standards and Special Provisions, to CADD requirements such as lettering, line weights and the use of assigned levels for representation of exhibits to be included in a Report.
For each Task Order in a Blanket Agreement, the deliverables, whether they are design documents or a Project Report, will be reviewed to ensure that all associated project analysis and documentation (charts, field notes, drawings, photos, etc.) are included and that the Executive Summary, description of activity performed, the result findings, conclusions and recommendations reflect all data collected. This will include tasks such as: topographic surveys, existing facility engineering inspections; engineering reviews of facility construction project scopes and designs; mechanical or electrical maintenance contract scope development or review; facility operations topics; assessment of non-destructive testing of facility equipment systems; building and equipment systems inspections and evaluations.
A draft Task Report will be prepared for internal review using the QCP. Each Task Report shall be then be submitted for review by the assigned client Project Manager in draft format (within 14 days of completing the task). STI shall make any corrections suggested by the client in the draft and issue a Final Task Report within 14 days. In the event that the client provides any additional review comments, the QM will typically discuss these with the client representative to ensure that the correct action is taken, thereby keeping control of the project budget and ensuring that the necessary revisions or corrections are performed to the satisfaction of the client, as well as ensuring that a “lessons learned” approach is taken and implemented on both the current and future assignments. If necessary, the QCP would be revised to ensure that it encompasses all necessary actions in the review process.
