b. Primary OfficePond & Company (Pond), founded in 1965, is an Atlanta-based full-service architecture, engineering and planning firm providing planning, design and construction services to local, state and federal clients. We currently provide services to over 30+ local governments in Metro Atlanta. Pond is headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, and all the proposed design staff are located in this office. Our full service Architectural, Engineering and Planning capabilities will provide GDOT a diverse staff of professionals who can meet any potential project needs. With a staff of over 50 transportation and civil engineers in Norcross, Pond maintains substantial reserve staff to provide additional resources, if needed. Our design subconsultants are also local to the Atlanta area, which means that should the need arise, the Pond Team could respond in-person to any issues or attend meetings at the GDOT downtown offices with only 30 minutes notice. Our established team of local experts and staff make GDOT our highest priority client.c. Narrative on Additional Resources and AbilityBecause our primary design and engineering team is located under one roof, communication between team members is efficient and effective. Overall project design is discussed daily; design documents reside on the same network, all created with the same stringent guidelines. Project activities will be controlled using a work breakdown structure (WBS). The WBS allows our team to define the work elements in a way that helps organize and define the total work scope of the project. In order to keep the project activities on schedule our team will manage using the critical path method (CPM). This allows the project manager to clearly identify the activities that are essential to keeping other tasks on schedule.We have formed a quality and experienced Team including Long Engineering (DBE) that will help ensure that this project is delivered on schedule and on budget. This will also ensure that we exceed your DBE requirements. We have added Diana Hunt and Associates to our Team in case R/W procurement becomes necessary. She is prequalified with GDOT as a R/W Project Manager. We understand that this project has an accelerated schedule and we will meet it. Long will provide all bridge design, bridge hydraulic/hydrological studies and assist with roadway design. This Team has delivered numerous GDOT projects, which will ensure challenges are overcome and risks are minimized during the project development process. Pond is known for its responsiveness, and we intend to keep GDOT and other stakeholders involved and engaged in order to meet critical milestone deadlines. Pond’s Project Manager Steve Bitney, PE, was Project

Manager on a recently completed segment of SR 133 (PI 0000543 in Brooks County). Steve provided independent QC/QA on the two adjoining segments of SR 133. Steve was also Project Manager on three other GRIP projects that were similar in nature. Sammy Powell, PE, our Bridge Design Lead was Project Manager of another section (32 miles) of SR 133 while working at another firm. It’s clear that our Team is very familiar with the SR 133 corridor and the process it takes to complete this type of project.Tim Matthews, PE will serve as Quality Control/Quality Assurance lead for this project. Tim has over 13 years of experience in the highway industry including roadway design and Program/Project Management. Prior to joining Pond, Tim worked at the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) as a Project Manager, design engineer, lead design engineer, and design manager in the office of Roadway Design and Program Delivery. With any federally funded project, the challenge to a successful delivery will rest on the understanding of the FHWA oversight process. It is also critical to have established relationships and a clear understanding of how projects move through the system at GDOT and ultimate approval via FHWA. Tim Matthews serves as lead PDP administrator for this project to ensure that all PDP elements are adhered to and to provide a key understanding of the federal funding and oversight process. Tim’s 13 years’ experience working at GDOT gives our team the firsthand knowledge and an existing and established relationship with GDOT. Quality Management Plan elements include: � Assign highly trained, well qualified staff with appropriate technical qualifications

� Conduct interdisciplinary reviews of work and independent, senior peer-level technical reviews prior to submittal

� Assign a Key Team Leader not associated with the project to act as a peer reviewer for quality control

� Utilize a lessons learned database to provide effective guidance regarding typical projects, as well as complex situations

� Ongoing in-house project management training � Ensure we achieve client objectives, we actively pursue client feedback frequently through a formal survey process

We utilize a project management program called Newforma as our preferred system to manage, organize, and archive all project data and communication, throughout the design and construction phases. Organization and communication are the two main keys to a successful and quality project delivery.Quality is very important to the success of the project and our team will ensure the final deliverable meets GDOT’s expectations.
