40th Anniversary Book 10.5x13.5 FINAL

“Our specifications are unique and can be adapted and applied to each situation without precluding one technology over another; so everyone is on a level playing field.” Steve Perliss | Principal financial, legal and procurement staff, we develop the contract and procurement documents and evaluation criteria that best serve their objectives. The key goals are to foster competitive procurement while minimizing risks. This we accomplish through proactive risk identification, allocation and mitigation; and by developing fair evaluation standards, and remaining unbiased. Thus we earn and maintain the client’s and the industry’s trust.

Implementation Vigilant Oversight

Identify, assess, verify, validate. That is what we do on the client’s behalf to ensure that the performance specifications, and operational and maintenance requirements, both contractual and internal, are met. We oversee and review design documentation, analyses, inspections, tests, and demonstrations. It’s a lot of work. Our goal in the implementation phase is to ensure the clients get what they need. Our duties may involve traveling to Italy to see if the vehicle passes its fire test; walking up and down the transit route making sure the guideway columns are in correctly; or coordinating between the facilities’ contractor and the system supplier to determine who is responsible for drilling the holes needed on the station platform for the automatic platform doors. In brief, we make sure that everyone is doing what they said they were going to do, what they were contracted to do, at the price they agreed to, so that the client may proudly and confidently open the system to the public.
