Page 2
1. Timely
We understand the importance of delivering on time. We work to consistently meet
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
We emphasize 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
We work with our clients to understand their requirements and challenges in a
project. Through collaboration we build a partnership with our clients to deliver
successful results each time. Implementing a philosophy that emphasizes diligent
and strategically coordinated follow-up with the client, agencies and community
stakeholders having a direct 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.
4. High Quality
We have earned a reputation for providing professional planning services based
on sound technical and qualitative analysis, to yield strategically responsible
responses and recommendations. 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.
D. 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 :

E. 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.
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.
Page 4
F. POSITIVE 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.
In addition, Munekiyo Hiraga understands the value of effective communication and 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.
G. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
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.
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
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
Page 5
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 experienced team members who are not directly 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 ensure that the highest professional standards are met.
