QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY I
Page 1
I. QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
Munekiyo Hiraga is a full service planning, government affairs, and community
engagement consulting firm. The firm provides services statewide for a diverse client list
which includes governmental agencies, landowners, small businesses, attorneys,
architects, engineers, and non-profit organizations. The professionals and support staff
of Munekiyo Hiraga have been working together as a team for over 30 years. Munekiyo
Hiraga is a statewide firm, with project experience on every major island, and has offices
in Wailuku, Maui and Honolulu, O‘ahu.
Munekiyo Hiraga is a Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned, and Small Business Association
Certified HUBZone firm. Through the Historically Underutilized Business Zones
(HUBZone) Program of the Small Business Association, the firm has preferential access
to Federal procurement opportunities.
B. MISSION STATEMENT “EXCELLENCE IN PROCESS MANAGEMENT”
Munekiyo Hiraga is dedicated and committed to providing responsive professional
services of the highest quality to all clients. Quality in service by the Munekiyo Hiraga
team is:
1. Timely
Consistently meeting clients’ project time schedules through sound management
and resource allocation practices. All projects shall be conducted to meet or better
client deadline requirements. Where special scheduling needs are identified, fast-
track timetables will be formulated and implemented.
2. Proactive
Emphasizing project pre-assessment to anticipate issues and concerns which may
arise during the course of an assignment. Early assessment and identification of
potential issues can translate into time savings during the course of project
planning and implementation. In this regard, it is the firm’s objective to conduct
early consultation and coordination with client, agencies, and community
stakeholders to ensure that issues are identified as early as practicable.
3. Strategic and Thorough
Implementing a philosophy that emphasizes diligent and strategically coordinated
follow-up with the client, agencies and community stakeholders having a direct
Page 2
interest in the project. By maintaining ongoing and responsive communication with
clients and stakeholders involved in the project, the smooth and timely completion
of assignment objectives can be facilitated.
C. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED
A broad range of consulting services is provided by Munekiyo Hiraga to meet the
increasingly complex environment in which project development and public policy are
implemented. In this regard, client services include, but are not limited to, the following
areas:
Government affairs, community engagement, and communications strategies
Preparation of technical and feasibility studies, including economic and fiscal
impact studies and benefit cost analysis
Preparation of environmental assessments/environmental impact statements
Application preparation and process coordination for land use, environmental and
construction permits
Preparation of land use/policy planning studies and development feasibility studies
Due diligence and permit scoping analyses
Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis and mapping
The staff of Munekiyo Hiraga has significant experience with governmental agencies and
has an excellent understanding of governmental processes, policies, and protocols. In
addition, Munekiyo Hiraga places significant value on civil discourse in community
engagement activities. It is through establishing open relationships with agency
representatives and community stakeholders that Munekiyo Hiraga is able to facilitate
successful project processing.
D. OUR CORE VALUES
Gratitude As individuals and as a company, we are grateful to our clients, our partners
in government and our partners in the community. In times of conflict and
challenge, gratitude enhances our capacity to achieve harmony.
Selflessness Selflessness means sharing and giving, without expectation of reward.
This mindset allows us to work in the context of “company” rather than as
“individuals”. A selfless company will more easily coexist with partners in
government and community.
Page 3
Humility Humility cannot exist without selflessness. Humility is a mindset and
behavior pattern where recognition of self is set aside in the interest of the
company, and where the interest of the company is set aside for the interest
of clients and community.
E. OUTCOMES SOUGHT FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT
Whether an assignment involves the preparation of a permit application or a technical
study, the monitoring of proposed legislation, or the formulation of a community
engagement program, Munekiyo Hiraga seeks outcomes which are designed to advance
harmony among all project participants. In this regard, the following outcomes are
emphasized in each assignment:
1. Mutually respectful working relationships among Client, governmental agencies,
and community stakeholders; and
2. Managed expectations through a communication framework which is clear and
characterized by trust.
Through successfully meeting project objectives for over 2,000 assignments over the
course of 30 years, Munekiyo Hiraga has come to be recognized as a leader in
environmental and regulatory processes, technical analysis, and governmental and
community affairs.
F. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
Munekiyo Hiraga has established a reputation for providing professional planning services
based on sound technical and qualitative analysis, to yield strategically responsible
responses and recommendations. Munekiyo Hiraga’s approach to planning is based on
respecting the intuitive insights of our clients, analyzing reliable technical and policy
issues, and integrating both to provide the highest quality of service.
To ensure delivery of reports and applications of the highest caliber, Munekiyo Hiraga has
instituted a quality control methodology which is iterative in nature and instituted at the
start and throughout a project until completion.
Recognizing the importance of quality control and the desire to maintain a high level of
professional integrity in documents produced by Munekiyo Hiraga, we firmly believe that
quality is essential to a successful planning firm and key to our company principles. To
integrate quality into our corporate values, we strive to naturally blend the following
practices into every project:
Accurate information gathering
Page 4
Continual communication with Client and project team
Early consultation with applicable Federal, State, and County agencies as well as
key community stakeholders
Allowing for sufficient time to prepare required reports while meeting Client’s
timeline requirements
Encouraging constructive review and comment and maintaining an open-door
policy of in-house commentary
Management’s commitment to quality and professional standards of planning
services
Utilizing the most experienced and skilled personnel available
Providing sufficient personnel to staff projects
Continuing education and training of staff
Maintaining quality of production and office facilities
These practices provide the foundation upon which Munekiyo Hiraga has built its quality
control program. The program utilizes various internal controls, reviews, standardized
procedures, and checklists.
Illustrative of this process, upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, the Project Team is
selected. Generally, the project team will consist of a Principal in Charge (PIC), a
Manager, Senior Associate, or Associate, and an administrative support staff person.
Prior to the start of production of the report/application document, the Project Team meets
to review the project scope and background. Production tasks are assigned to members
of the Project Team and a preliminary production timeline is established for the
report/application. At each stage of production, the Project Team reviews the
report/application and may seek input from other staff members who are not assigned to
the project, but who have familiarity with the project area, project scope, and/or key issues
related to the project for government agencies and/or community stakeholders.
Additionally, Quality Control (QC) editors are assigned to the Project Team. The QC
editors are Associates, Managers, or PICs who are not associated with the project.
Documentation preparation and reviews, therefore, involve strict standards to ensure
accuracy and quality.
Munekiyo Hiraga believes that its disciplined quality control process is essential to the
production of quality documents for our Clients. We continually review our quality control
review process to insure that the highest professional standards are met.
