Very truly yours, URS Corporatio Brian Norris, P.E., MBA James Reed, PE, RA, LEED AP, RPA Vice President URS Corporation 4225 Executive Square, Suite 1600 La Jolla, CA 92037 • Tel: 858.812.9292 Fax: 858.812.9293 Program Manager National City Proposal to Provide Program Management Services City's Bond / Capital Improvement Program OUR PHILOSOPHY URS does not view program management as simply an exercise in "assisting" the client in completing a project or series of projects. Instead, we believe a Program such as the National City's Bond/Capital Improvement Program needs the management expertise of an experienced field -oriented program manager who has a thorough understanding of policies, planning, operations, and construction all while placing the client's interests at the top of his priority list. Our approach is not one of merely monitoring activities and providing historical reports. Rather, URS provides a proactive leader who consistently, monitors the quality and status of the work, looks ahead for issues that may impact performance, recommends and implements solutions when opportunities arise, and gets the work done right the first time all in the best interest of National City. Our approach is built on lessons learned from similar program management projects with clients around the world, and more importantly throughout Southern California. Your Program is more than just a collection of capital improvements planned to bring the infrastructure system to a state of good repair and ensure regulatory compliance. Instead, it is an extremely complex program of work that requires significant planning, coordination, and controls to successfully complete the projects on time and within budget. We are the right firm to act as an extension of your staff in the successful delivery of your program because you need a Program Manager that will provide seamless integration with your staff, organization, and the community. URS is that Program Manager!
