ADDITIONAL RELATED EXPERIENCE LAUSD E-RATE PROGRAM (Electrical, Mechanical & Structural Engineering Project Management and Design)

Trinity Systems has been responsible for conducting electrical evaluations, and project

management for all new network equipment associated with the E-RATE program for

400 schools. In addition, structural details were designed for mounting the LAN cabinets

according to industry standards and LAUSD special requirements. Electrical

evaluations were also conducted at numerous schools to provide proper instructions to

contractors for mounting of communication and electrical conduits through existing

buildings and structures. This project required coordination with District personnel, site

investigations, survey of existing conditions, evaluation, reporting, and preparation of

construction drawings. Recommendations were provided to District authorized

representatives as required.

The dollar value of the program was $175M. The dollar value for TSI’ participation was

$550,000.00 and the duration of this project was 1 year. A very fast tract project

completed within schedule, and budget.


LAUSD SAFETY & TECHNOLOGY AND FIRE ALARM PROGRAM (Safety and Technology/Fire Alarm Programs)

As part of the Facilities Technology Program Management Group (FTPMG), Trinity

Systems provided construction management support, constructability and QA/QC

technical reviews, and program management technical support for over 400 Safety and

Technology projects, and over 300 Fire alarm system projects for a total construction

program budget of $4.5 billion. Our functions included but were not limited to standard

construction services, review and plan check of proposed designs prepared by pre-

selected consulting engineering firms to ensure compliance with LAUSD design

guidelines, specifications, applicable codes and standards.

TSI provided technical leadership and served as liaison between FTPMG, local regions

OAR, engineers and architects, contractors, and DSA inspectors; TSI reviewed and

answered requests for information/clarifications, reviewed and approved construction

cost estimates, enforced standard procedures for scope and plan changes during

construction, and provided construction technical support.

The dollar value for TSI’ participation was $2,656,786.00. Trinity Systems staff

consisted of (6) Engineers and (1) project manager. The duration of the services

extended for approximately 6 years; TSI engagement was completed on June 2009.

Constructability reviews were performed to determine if the proposed designs were

making adequate usage of available infrastructure and existing conditions. Value

engineering and cost saving measures were implemented to provide the District with

proposed constructible systems that would meet not only quality standards, but would

be built within estimated budgets as well. In the execution of contract responsibilities,

TSI’ construction and project management team helped the District by eliminating

design deficiencies, code issues, constructability problems, and elimination of over and

under designs. These changes resulted in saving to the program in the proximity of

$300 million dollars.

In addition, Trinity Systems has been responsible for the design

and construction technical support for numerous Safety and Technology projects which

required the existing electrical service to be upgraded. Coordination with the utility

company (SCE) was critical to install the new electrical service.


LAUSD PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS PROGRAM (PV Systems assessment Program)

Trinity Systems provided Engineering and Project management services for the

renewable energy/ PV systems assessments.

Our responsibilities included but were not limited to field investigations to determine

existing infrastructure and environmental constraints, coordination and evaluation with

school administrators and construction management personnel in the assessment of

existing conditions to determine requirements for upgrades, and/or modifications of

existing roof conditions to determine suitability to meet the new photovoltaic system

needs.

A detailed evaluation of existing conditions was a prominent element

This project included the following set of deliverables:

in the execution of

these projects. Site investigations included technical support and technical leadership,

reviewing materials submittals to ensure compliance with LAUSD standards and

specifications, assisting in providing reports, and addressing construction problems that

arouse from unforeseen conditions.

1. Equipment and wiring location approval from schools administrators.

2. Project Management and Technical support during assessment.

3. Structural integrity of roof and sub-structure evaluation.

4. Installation and construction recommendations.

5. Comparative estimated energy output for each system proposed.

6. Recommended options for commercial solar PV arrays suitable for the site.

7. Roof equipment maintenance and repair access.

8. HVAC recommendations as required to areas where equipment is to be installed

when space for inverters is available inside existing structures.
