<br />11 <br />IP specializes in creating non-disruptive process engagement that allows the policy and procurement <br />administration to integrate seamlessly into the normal construction program model. One example is our <br />unique digitized demographic data capture tools, where project employees can easily provide project- <br />critical demographic data in less than 3 minutes. Our Job Site Compliance specialist is onsite, joins project <br />orientation meetings, connects with workers during established breaks, and provides easily scannable <br />access that allows workers to provide sensitive demographic info privately and voluntarily from their cell <br />phone or through a short interview with iPad-equipped staff to takes less than 3 minutes. IP team members <br />understand the complex coordination of construction programming and will work closely with the Owner’s <br />Project team, contractors, and unions to ensure job site issues are actively mitigated, avoiding unnecessary <br />grievance proceedings by facilitating initiative-taking decision-making that removes barriers to work <br />production. <br />This critical trust-building with Labor helps our teams create working relationships on project sites that <br />ensure contractors can deliver what is needed. At the same time, problems are being resolved, and <br />conditions are corrected without project delays. IP’s experience and understanding of public agency <br />protocols and reporting requirements, along with our intimate knowledge of how to navigate public policy <br />processes, is critical in rapid response and allows our partners to focus on the work of building their projects <br />while we help contractors meet agency criteria. Our team aggregates significant amounts of data and <br />information over a construction program's life and makes it readily available for our partners. However, <br />what is critical in PLA/CWA delivery is the ability to translate the density and complex layers of <br />information into useful reporting. Our teams prioritize the delivery of meaningful information in practical <br />formats that allow for expedited meeting processes and reduce costs through clarity in data. <br />Successful Supportive Design in Multi-Phased Approach for Staff Verification and Board Oversite: <br />Design <br />IP will provide support and information to the project owner’s leadership team related to the PLA/CWA <br />design strategy by providing expertise in the policy design elements, negotiation support strategy, and <br />internal stakeholder education. <br />Delivery <br />IP will provide support and information to the leadership team relative to the policy engagement strategy <br />by providing expertise in the Priority Hire components, PLA/CWA delivery elements, diversity support <br />strategy, and external stakeholder education. IP will provide support and information to the City <br />leadership team relative to the management of its PLA/CWA delivery, Labor navigation strategy, and <br />any related project diversity initiatives. <br />IP will deliver support as described above, with an additional focus on providing regular engagement in <br />representative meetings and emphasizing PLA/CWA contractor support. <br />Demonstration <br />IP will provide comprehensive outcome-based reporting through proprietary initiative-taking real-time <br />compliance validation. <br />Pre-gaming scope breakdowns and decision-making will assist the organization in identifying what <br />available work can be prioritized for WMBE, DBE, and SBE contractors. The ability to get an early view <br />of scopes and help inform decision-making around opportunities to provide specifically prioritized work <br />allows the project to deliver on its promises early. IP maintains an active list of specialized minority <br />contractors that have already succeeded in PLA/CWA contracts to help primes and subcontractors identify <br />expanded diverse support as needed.
