coordination structure and task order request process, clearly defining responsibilities between the City, Project Director, Project
Manager, Task Leaders, and subconsultants.
Understanding the City’s Objectives

intent, success criteria, and constraints. We clarify key milestones, identify potential challenges, and assemble the most effective
technical team based on the required disciplines. This early alignment ensures that each project begins with shared expectations and

anticipated adjustments or delays are communicated immediately, maintaining full transparency and alignment throughout each task
order.
Turnaround Efficiency
ADVANTEC is accustomed to the City’s established review periods—10 working days for initial submittals and 5 working days for
resubmittals. Within these timelines, we execute a structured review process:
Verify document completeness.
Circulate submittals to the appropriate reviewers.
Annotate comments directly on plan markups and in a comment matrix.
Consolidate and QA/QC all redlines before returning the review package.
When appropriate, direct designer-reviewer coordination is used to reconcile issues and eliminate unnecessary review cycles—often
limiting the process to three checks or fewer. This practical, collaborative approach significantly reduces turnaround time and
administrative burden on City staff.
Project Controls
ADVANTEC employs strong project control systems—integrating schedule, budget, and quality management tools to keep task orders
on track and within scope.
Schedule Control
We use Microsoft Project to build clear, communicable schedules that align tasks, deadlines, and QA/QC review points. Each schedule:
Identifies interdependent tasks and agency review windows.
Provides flexibility for quick updates and staff coordination.
Reflects staffing correlations firm-wide.
Critical path items and time-sensitive decisions are tracked proactively. The Project Manager promptly informs the City of any
anticipated schedule deviations, allowing the City to allocate review resources efficiently and avoid downstream delays.
Budget Control
Each task order’s scope and work breakdown structure (WBS) forms the basis of our budget, tracked in real time through our internal
cost-management system (AJERA). Budgets, expressed in hours and dollars, are continuously monitored by the Project Manager and
Task Leaders. We apply earned-value management principles, comparing planned versus actual expenditures to identify variances
early. This data is reviewed regularly with task leaders to develop corrective actions and maintain financial control.
A detailed Monthly Progress Report accompanies every task order, summarizing:
Work completed and in progress.
Schedule status and upcoming milestones.
Budget performance and corrective measures (if needed).
Through these practices, ADVANTEC ensures accountability, transparency, and proactive management across all assignments—
providing the City of Diamond Bar with confidence that every task order is delivered efficiently and effectively.

3.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program
ADVANTEC maintains a comprehensive and continuous QA/QC Program designed to ensure every deliverable meets the highest
standards of technical accuracy, clarity, and consistency. Our QA/QC process is not confined to milestone reviews—it is embedded in
daily workflows, moving seamlessly from desk to desk, discipline to discipline, and consultant to client.
Our Project Manager and Task Leaders oversee daily team activities, guiding staff through consistent review, documentation, and
coordination. Mr. Solis provides overall QA/QC oversight for this contract, working closely with ADVANTEC’s senior management to
ensure adherence to established procedures and prompt resolution of issues. Dedicated QA/QC contacts will be available at all times
to facilitate inquiries regarding project status.
Core QA/QC Policies and Procedures
Policy Approach
Defined Roles and
Responsibilities
Assign clear QA/QC responsibilities for
each staff level; conduct teamwide
QA/QC training and a kickoff meeting
to review procedures and
expectations.
Information
Dissemination and
Document Control
Implement standardized document
flow and control procedures for all
project materials (scope, reports,
invoices, minutes, deliverables).
Internal & External
Coordination
Maintain consistent meeting
documentation using standardized
action logs and issue trackers.
Continuous
“Over‑the‑Shoulder”
Reviews
Encourage real‑time, multi‑disciplinary
review during preparation of plans and
reports to identify issues early and
strengthen coordination.
Inter‑Disciplinary
Integration
Hold weekly or bi‑weekly coordination
meetings and cross‑discipline plan
exchanges before all milestone
submittals.
Milestone Quality
Reviews
Use independent reviewers for
checking, revision, and back‑checking;
verify compliance with standards,
technical precision, format
consistency, and previous comments.
QC Checklists Require each discipline to apply
specific QC checklists to ensure
completeness, accuracy, and
consistency before submittal.
ADVANTEC’s QA/QC Review Process
Before any deliverable is submitted to the City, it undergoes
ADVANTEC’s internal multi‑tier quality review. Each stage—technical review, interdisciplinary coordination, and principal sign‑off—
verifies compliance with project scope, applicable standards, and agency requirements. Only after this internal review is complete is
the product submitted for City review. Once City comments are received, they are addressed through the same QA/QC workflow to
ensure the final deliverable meets or exceeds expectations.
Collaborative QA/QC with Partner Firms
On many projects, including on‑call and as‑needed services, ADVANTEC partners with trusted subconsultants who are fully
integrated into our QA/QC framework. Every partner firm receives ADVANTEC’s QA/QC policies and assigns its own QA/QC lead to
ensure consistency. Together, our team adheres to uniform CAD standards and agency‑specific requirements, including General
Plans, Circulation Elements, Public Works and Traffic Signal Standards, Communication Standards, and the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
