TKDA <br /> <br /> TASK 2: ADMINISTRATION <br />Monthly invoices for services completed will be prepared by each <br />subconsultant and submitted to TKDA for inclusion into a <br />summary invoice and progress report to the NCDA. Summary <br />invoices will be submitted to the NCDA by the 15th of each month. <br /> <br />The Proiect Manger will additionally supply the NCDA with <br />monthly reports tracking the progress being made. We intend to <br />use the "earned value" analysis method for tracking purposes. This <br />technique develops an expected proiect trend-line, and compares <br />that to the actual progress being made with the dollars being spent. <br />This analysis allows the Proiect Manager to spot problems while <br />they are developing and to make any adiustments necessary to the <br />plan. This avoids the end of proiect panic which can occur with <br />proiects such as this with a short and intense duration. <br /> <br />Deliverables <br /> <br />Monthly project progress reports <br /> <br /> TASK 3: COORDINATION/]~EETINGS <br /> With coordination between the NCDA, Mn/DOT and the BNSF <br /> being the key to the success of this project, the TKDA Team will <br /> take a proactive role in the establishment of and continued <br /> emphasis on communication. Our role on this project must be more <br /> than just engineers. We must be able to work effectively with all <br /> involved parties and develop solutions that are mutually agreeable <br /> to everyone. This task will be a challenge, but we feel that we are <br /> very well suited to perpetuate this cooperative atmosphere. <br /> <br />Coordination meetings with the NCDA representative will occur as <br />part of our monthly team review meetings. This will allow the <br />NCDA to in'~erface with the various team members and get a first <br />hand look at project progress. We are also planning to attend up to <br />seven (7) meetings with the NCDA Project Management Team, <br />Technical Advisory Committee and the Executive Committee to <br />present material and keep the NCDA advised as to progress and <br />project issues. <br /> <br />Coordination with Mn/DOT and the BNSF will be an on-going <br />process. By working directly with the local staffs of both <br />organizations, we feel that the need for formal review will be <br />greatly reduced. We do anticipate two formal review meetings <br />each, with both Mn/DOT and the BNSF. These meetings will be <br />held after formal plan submittal at the 50% complete and 90% <br /> <br />TOLTZ, <br /> <br /> Preliminary Engineering Proposal <br />KING, DUVALL, ANDERSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />51 <br /> <br /> <br />
