Project Methodology. [Insert description of Project methodology (attach additional pages if required)]
Project Methodology. In the dozens of prior projects where PFM and the project team have been engaged by state and large local governments to do this type of analysis, there are several general themes that run through the work. It should be noted that the exact methodology will depend on the specific needs of the Task Force – they are not specifically outlined in the RFP. However, based on our past experience, we would identify the following as key tasks and activities. The general methodology used to complete the tasks and activities associated with them are explained, as well as the PFM project approach for them. ▪ Analysis of the ‘as is’ state tax structure and system. PFM will first use a detailed information request (primarily consisting of state budget, finance and tax data) as well as review of relevant information related to the state economy and tax structure. PFM subject matter experts will also conduct structured interviews/meetings with key state subject matter experts and stakeholders to gain a full understanding of the current system and its ramifications. ▪ Research and analysis related to key tax data and metrics. The tax structure is, of course, an important component of state government operations (in its role of providing the resources to run it), but it also is an important component of the state’s economy and how it interacts with and impacts citizens and businesses. PFM will use a variety of commonly accessed data sources (such as the US Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Reserve Banks and others) to identify key issues, such as how the revenue structure impacts on the overall economy, how it performs in differing parts of the business cycle and how it will likely perform in the future based on current expectations related to economic, social and demographic trends.
Project Methodology. The Contractor shall submit a detailed proposal outlining methodologies of how he intends executing the work.
Project Methodology. ▪ General The Contractor is responsible for carrying out all activities and supplying everything necessary to provide the Works in accordance with the requirements of the Works Information. This includes clarifying and co-ordination with plant engineers, and the Employers Representative. A fully integrated, working system is provided which meets safety, reliability and operability criteria and performs all modulating control, binary control, safety and protection functions and supervisory functions as detailed in the Works Information. It is the responsibility of the Contractor throughout the execution of the different contract activities to addressed to and obtain acceptance from the Employers Representative: ▪ Construction on Site The works forming part of the testing and commissioning, is not embarked on until the Employers Representative’s acceptance has been obtained for construction and erection work performed in this stage. ▪ Installation, Inspection and Testing This stage is the installation, inspection and testing of all supplied items forming part of the whole of the works. This stage includes all field equipment and testing system functionality. Such tests as may be required by the Employers Representative are carried out by the Contractor after erection to prove compliance with the Works Information irrespective of any tests, which may have been carried out at the manufacturer’s factory. The Employer reserves the right to appoint representatives to inspect all parts during erection and to be present at any of the tests specified. The Employers Representative is free to specify hold and witness points during the installation and testing stages of the project. The Contractor issues preliminary notification of such hold and witness points to the Employers Representative, and confirms such hold and witness points at least seven days prior to the test activity. The Contractor provides the entire test Equipment required for site testing. ▪ Commissioning This is defined as bringing into service all items of the works as specified, meeting the requirements of the functional Works Information and plant performance including all necessary testing and verification of the stated performance. The equipment covered by the Works Information is installed and complete in all respects by the dates stated in the Accepted Programme. The Contractor commissions the installed system according to his commissioning procedures that will be handed to the Employers Repres...
Project Methodology. A collective impact facilitation approach was utilized throughout the project to ensure all voices were heard. This included one primary facilitator, a core “leadership team”, and project partners. An initial literature review and content research was conducted for historical understanding followed by two national surveys. The first survey was conducted as an initial assessment to understand common knowledge categories in food systems through open ended questions. The second survey related to competency-based learning objectives and identification of curricula that currently exists that met those objectives.
Project Methodology. The project that Xxxx Xxxxxxxx & Associates, Inc. is proposing will be comprised of the following separate components: Component A: Projection of the residential, commercial, and industrial development. Component B: Identification of student yield factors for residential, commercial, and industrial development. Component C: Generation of enrollment projections based on natural growth and new residential development. Component D: Identification of existing facility capacity, facility needs, and facility costs based on enrollment projections. Class size reduction implementation may affect District capacity. Component E: Preparation of documentation in compliance with current developer fee law. COMPONENT A In order to identify the projected student impact of residential, commercial, and industrial development, it is necessary to assess the impact of development. This component of the study will identify the level of future residential, commercial, and industrial development anticipated to occur in the District. As required to justify developer fees, the specific steps in this component are: Identify approved and tentative development projects on file with the county and city planning departments where applicable. Identify development potential for vacant and under- developed land. Identify city building densities, current zoning, and master plan designations to establish build-out potentials. Provide development projections for single family residential and multiple family residential development. Provide projections of commercial and industrial development by category. Determine the development impact on the District when pre- existing dwelling units are demolished and replaced by reconstructed dwelling units as it occurs within the District boundaries. Project fee revenues for residential, commercial and industrial based on the current maximum fee. District responsibility: Provide information regarding current and future projected residential development known to the District. COMPONENT B State default student yields will be utilized or student generation rates (SGR's) will be calculated to project the student impact of future development. The commercial/industrial SGR's will address employee generation factors, as provided by the San Diego Traffic Generation documentation (17621(e)(1)(B)).
Project Methodology. Tailored Prince2 will be used in the management of the initiative and support provided by the City Region Deal Programme Manager.
Project Methodology. The Small Scale Foods Program involved three primary components. • Consultation and Education • Project Implementation • Follow-up and technical assistance All communities had undergone a consultative process that involved identifying primary contacts or agencies which would be responsible for setting direction for the project and working to identify and securing sites for use. Upon identification of sites, initial development was completed and seed as well as additional inputs supplied to facilitate planting. In conjunction with the first year’s plantings the project team facilitated workshops on site and provided winter workshops where planting techniques, composting, selection and use of vegetables were taught. These workshops often extended into schools which provided an opportunity for students to plant containers with short season crops such as lettuce and beet greens and enjoy fresh greens in their classrooms. Most communities indicated a preference to organic production, however given the infertility of soils this could not be accomplished given the time frames. To facilitate a reasonable degree of success a commercial blend 25-10-10-5 fertilizer was used with the understanding that once sites were developed and accompanying composting and soil development programs were integrated into projects they would be able to move to a more organic based production system. No herbicides or pesticides were used and communities have all expressed interest in companion planting. There is a general notion that soils in the NWT are acidic in nature. This relates to association of lands and topography as well as tree growth being dominantly coniferous and scrub pine. In fact all soils tested in the NWT to date, regardless of area have continually presented with ph of
Project Methodology. We will use an agile project management approach for our project going forward.
Project Methodology. The WellSky project manager is responsible for development of the Project Charter and Project Schedule, as well as providing updates to the Oklahoma DHS project team. The schedule and project effort detailed in the Project Charter must be accepted by Oklahoma DHS before configuration work begins. Any change requested by Oklahoma DHS to the schedule or to the scope will be estimated and itemized in a Change Request that will identify the incremental cost. WellSky project manager will be responsible for creating a project schedule during the Plan phase, outlining the timeline for specific events and milestones of the project. The Project Schedule will include tentative dates for delivery. WellSky will document design meeting minutes and identify outstanding issues and/or decisions. WellSky will provide best practice recommendations and document all requirements in the Requirements Document. After Oklahoma DHS has approved the Requirements Document, all subsequent changes or additions to scope mutually agreed upon in the Requirements Document will be addressed through a Change Request and the effect of these changes on the agreed schedule will need to be evaluated. Once Oklahoma DHS sign-off on the Requirements Document has been received, the delivery resources shall be confirmed. It is possible due to resource availability at the time of assignment that delivery dates may adjust slightly forward or backward from the original plan. The standard project estimate presupposes that project status meetings will be conducted no more frequently than weekly. A scope change may be presented if more frequent status meetings are requested. During the Plan phase of the project, the WellSky project manager will work with Oklahoma DHS to identify specific requirements that will determine successful project completion and closure. The scope defined in this Proposal assumes that WellSky adheres to its standard project methodology and that all project management artifacts are assumed to follow WellSky's standards. It is understood that deviation from these standards upon request from the Oklahoma DHS may result in an adjustment of the estimated level of effort.
