STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS PAGE 1 INTRODUCTION G ENERAL E XPERIENCE, Q UALIFICATIONS AND B USINESS H ISTORY CE2 Engineers (CE2) was founded in 1985 to provide rural Alaska communities with planning, design engineering, and force account construction management services. In 2003 Brian Aklin assumed the leadership role as president of CE2. To date, we have successfully planned, designed, and managed force account construction for over $350 million in bulk fuel improvements, power plant construction, and rural sanitation to over 50 Alaskan communities, statewide. CE2 has managed force account construction for over $300 million in energy (bulk fuel and rural power system upgrades) and infrastructure projects collectively for the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC), and State of Alaska, Village Safe Water Program. Our success stems from our commitment to putting the local community to work, and our philosophy that public works projects are best constructed by the ultimate end users. CE2’s headquarters is a two-story 7,500 square foot secure heated combined office, shop, and warehouse building with a fenced laydown yard, located just off Dimond Boulevard in South Anchorage. From this central location, CE2 is able to provide a full range of construction management services including: material procurement and freight consolidation; warehouse and expediting services; and project management and administrative support. We are equipped with the latest electronic technology at 23 desktop computer workstations, with laptops as well as digital cameras for our traveling staff. Our project management team uses Microsoft Project scheduling software and Axium’s Portfolio project management software for tracking and monitoring progress and costs. Project support personnel utilize the latest version of the Microsoft Office Suite, and our site superintendents are provided with electronic copies of CE2’s standard forms and reporting documents. Whenever possible and economically feasible, CE2’s site superintendents are able to communicate quickly not only by phone but also via the Internet to email reports, digital photos, or other electronic files. This ensures that the home team can keep abreast of progress as well as any issues at the project sites. CE2 is a stable and mature business with a highly experienced staff. We can readily commit the resources needed to ensure the success of each of our projects. Over the last ten years CE2 Procurement and Logistics Officer Mike Tate has fine-tuned our procurement and material tracking procedures to meet our Client’s procurement requirements. He leads the procurement team, issuing and guiding project managers on bid solicitations (including large sealed bid procurements), preparing purchase orders, and managing the expediting and warehouse functions, including freight consolidation CE2 ENGINEERS, INC. STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS PAGE 2 and tracking. The project administration group processes invoices for project management approval and Client submission and maintains project purchase order tracking logs. At the field level, the site superintendent prepares and submits daily project reports, performs quality assurance/quality control inspections and provides all required testing documentation, maintains red lines, and works with contractors to ensure contract compliance. The site superintendent also submits all field-generated invoice and receipt documentation for small procurements to the project administration group for reconciliation with vendor statements and/or invoices. All field-incurred charges are verified prior to payment approval. Safety is a key factor in CE2’s construction projects. CE2’s site superintendents receive Red Cross CPR/First Aid training with required updates. They conduct weekly safety meetings with the force account crews to ensure that all participants are aware of how to perform their work in a safe manner. CE2 prepares and provides required site- specific safety plans, and the site superintendents are responsible for review with the crew and compliance. Our highly experienced staff includes project managers, field superintendents, and a top-caliber team of office-based project support personnel: an office manager, procurement officer, warehouseman/expediter, and construction and project administrators. As a seasonal employer, we also have qualified maintenance mechanics, welders, journeyman plumbers, and a journeyman carpenter available, if required to supplement the local workforce. In addition to our full range of in-house resources, CE2 has developed long-term working relationships with Alaskan subconsultants who are experts in their respective fields, and would be available to work with us on projects, including (but not limited to): electrical and mechanical engineers, qualified journeyman field electricians, and structural engineers. CE2 is a licensed Alaskan business, as is each of our project team subconsultants. CE2 can and will furnish evidence of satisfactory workmen’s compensation, public liability and property damage, and automobile liability insurance on request. CE2 ENGINEERS, INC.
