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 that 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 clients, 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. Our philosophy that emphasizes diligent and
strategically coordinated follow-up with clients, agencies, and community

responsive communication with clients and stakeholders involved in a project, the
smooth and timely completion of assignment objectives can be facilitated.

on sound technical and qualitative analysis, yielding strategic and responsible

of the highest caliber, Munekiyo Hiraga has instituted a quality control methodology

until completion.
D. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED

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 that 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 the client, governmental
agencies, and community stakeholders; and
2. Managed expectations through a communication framework that 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 the 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 the 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.

Explain firm’s individual project assignment, project management structure, project execution (work flow
and responsibilities) and quality control process. In the event the spaces provided on this form are not sufficient
for entries, or if you wish to furnish additional information, it may be inserted here or on separate sheets, with appropriate
references.
Our approach to providing consulting services is based on analyzing individual project-specific considerations, using reliable technical
information, and respecting the intuitive insights of our clients, to provide the highest quality of service. We strive to:
Partner with our clients to ensure successful project outcomes and results.
Consistently meet clients’ time schedules through sound management and resource allocation.
Emphasize project pre-assessment to identify issues and concerns that may arise during the project. We find that early consultation
and coordination with the client, agencies, and other project team members ensure that issues are, to the maximum extent possible,
addressed upfront.
Implement diligent and strategic follow-up at each stage of the project. By maintaining ongoing communication with the client and
involved parties, a smooth and timely achievement of project objectives can be facilitated.
Project teams are staffed with the required expertise and are composed of, at a minimum, a principal in charge, an associate or senior
associate / manager, and an administrative assistant. Workflow, project status, and milestones are monitored by the principal in charge.
The management structure and processes established at Munekiyo Hiraga facilitate the monitoring of work flows and ensure timely delivery
for clients.
All project deliverables undergo a quality control review process, which involves review by the project team and principal in charge, as well
as review by a staff member not assigned to the project for third-party quality control purposes.
All project schedules, documentation, and key milestones are tracked in a cloud-based project management tool, ensuring consistency,
accuracy, and timely delivery.
Work at Munekiyo Hiraga is guided by the company’s three core values – Gratitude, Selflessness, and Humility. These core values define
how we see ourselves as a company and drive the way we do business.
As of this date June 30, 2025 the foregoing is a true statement of facts.
