TischlerBise utilizes a project management process to ensure that projects <br /> are completed on time, within budget, and most importantly, that they yield results that match our clients' <br /> expectations. Our project management plan utilizes the following principles common to successful projects: <br /> ■ First,we begin by defining the project to be completed. Based on discussions that occur as part of our <br /> Project Initiation task, Carson Bise will confirm the final project goals and objectives in collaboration <br /> with County staff, list potential challenges to the process, and develop a plan to ensure successful <br /> outcomes and effective communication. <br /> ■ Second, we will plan the project schedule. As part of the Project Initiation task, Mr. Bise will work with <br /> County staff to identify milestones to meet the project schedule. Prior to beginning the project, Mr. Bise <br /> will assign roles that will ensure the project schedule is met on time and within budget. <br /> ■ Third, we will actively manage the project process. Mr. Bise has a long history of strong project <br /> management skills that are supported by past project successes (we encourage you to contact our <br /> references in this regard). Mr. Bise will manage the work in progress, provide guidance and oversight <br /> to staff, and will be accountable to the County for meeting the schedule, budget, and technical <br /> requirements of the project. <br /> ■ Finally, we will review all project deliverables and communication through a formal quality assurance <br /> process that requires review at the peer level, project manager level, and executive officer level. Prior <br /> to the delivery of work product to the County, deliverables will go through a structured quality assurance <br /> process involving multiple levels of review and utilizing a checklist tool. The first level involves a peer- <br /> to-peer review of work products and computer models. Next, Mr. Bise will be responsible for a second <br /> set of reviews comparing the work product to the completed quality checklist tool. <br /> Approach to Managing Challenges and Contingencies. Our project team will provide seamless support <br /> for this assignment. Mr. Bise will ensure that staffing resources are well-matched to provide the highest <br /> quality of work product and high responsiveness to the County, and to keep the project on schedule. <br /> Furthermore, our staff will convene weekly to assess the status of the project. Our approach to resolving <br /> issues that may be encountered during the project is simple: identify the possible challenges early on and <br /> notify all project members in a timely manner. We know from our extensive experience, there will be <br /> challenges and issues throughout the process. Our experience also tells us that early identification will <br /> allow us time to strategize a solution from a proactive, rather than reactive, framework. <br /> Tisch erBise 27 <br /> FISCAL 3 ECONOMIC I PLANNING <br />
