QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL
The TRC team is committed to excellence, as our references will
attest. We will provide quality assurance and quality control
throughout the duration of the project and will constantly employ
our quality control plan in producing the PS&E for a project All
deliverables and submittals will be subjected to this QA / QC Plan
before being delivered to the City. Our approach follows that of
Caltrans, as evidenced by the QA / QC checklist we use on every
project.
A Quality Management Program starts with Quality People. TRC
employs a quality management program that incorporates
responsibility for quality throughout the organization, and benefits
from process improvements realized on similar projects. It all starts
with the selection of our Project Manager, Justina Conklin. We
have also assigned a seasoned professional, Mark Christensen, to
assist Justina in implementing the Quality Management Program
for this contract. TRC’s Quality Management Program involves
reviewing scope, methodology, reports, and all other deliverables,
as well as monitoring client and subconsultant relationships. Justina will first establish clear communication
protocols for the team.
The QA / QC Plan designates specific quality assurance roles for each team member, as well as
interdisciplinary checks. In
order to assure that the
project delivery is performed
in a timely manner, the Project
Manager will update the
project schedule frequently,
noting critical submittals at the
35%, 65%, 95%, and 100%
design phases. In the
schedule, adequate time will
be given for the agencies to
conduct appropriate reviews,
so that these critical milestones can be accurately placed in the schedule and followed by the team. A QC review
task will also be assigned and will allow the Project Manager to administer an interdisciplinary review. This gives
the entire team time to review each other’s plans and look for conflicts or errors between disciplines and correct
these errors before submitting to the client. For example, the landscape designer will review the traffic handling,
utility, and electrical plans. At the same time, the electrical designer will review the other disciplines. The Project
Manager will be in charge of making sure that all of their comments get addressed. These peer reviews with
principal, project managers and lead designers will be conducted to ensure that quality control is maintained
throughout the duration of each task.

✓ Timely meetings and reporting to the City
Quality Standards - TRC’s Quality Management Program incorporates:
✓ A Commitment of all team members to follow proper standards used throughout the project.
✓ Quality Assurance and Control Procedures: Procedures include management oversight, clear definition
of roles and responsibilities, and administrative functions associated with tracking and reporting.
✓ Document Control: Establish an electronic document management system and assign one person to be
responsible for maintaining these documents.
Confirming Quality - While it is important to build quality into the work, formal checking and review are critical
quality activities. Quality checking activities, which are all documented with checklists and three-level approvals,
include:
✓ Peer Review/Coordination Checking: Coordination and independent checking activities are performed
by a separate peer reviewer (or group) consisting of checkers.
✓ Discipline Review: Technical checking and review activities are performed by each responsible technical
or design discipline under the direction of our various discipline leaders.
✓ Independent Deliverable Review: All TRC work products are independently checked until the
originators and checkers both agree to the validity and accuracy of the work product. Mark
Christensen, PE, is our designated QA / QC Lead. He will review all work and verify that all technical
checks have been completed.
Subconsultant Quality - TRC requires that each subconsultant either adheres to our Quality Management
Program or that they have their own. From our past experience working with our subconsultants assigned to on-
calls, we are well aware of the high-quality work they perform.
Timeliness - As our Quality Management Program is built into how we do business, our deliverables will not be
delayed because “they still need to be checked.” We convene internal over-the-shoulder review of deliverables
at least one week before they are due. This allows the Project Manager, the Principal-in-Charge, and the
discipline managers to verify their completeness and adjust staff assignment if needed to meet the deliverable
schedule.
B. Services or Data Anticipated to be Provided by the City
The service or data anticipated to be provided by the City are listed on page 3 of 21 of the RFP and repeated
below:
1. Obtain the environmental document.
