DATE: January 14,2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TWO-YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RHRC1 FOR

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SERVICES, WITH A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED $400,000
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a two-year professional services agreement with RHRC1, for Human Resources Management and related services, with a total not to exceed amount of $400,000 over the two-year agreement, to support the needs of the City of Adelanto.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2023, the City has utilized a consultant to provide Human Resource services. This contract has been beneficial and resulted in significant savings in both salary and potential liability. We now have been advised that the current Senior Payroll/Human Resources Analyst has announced plans to retire this calendar year. In addition, the City recent move to a new liability insurance pool has created a need for property claims and risk management services. In response, staff have assessed the needs of the City and determined that the most cost-effective way to meet these need would be to engage the services of a Human Resources Management consultant.

ERHRC1 is headed by the City’s previous Human Resources Consultant and brings over 40 years of experience working with over 20 California providing human resources management services. The staff’s priority in selecting a provider was to engage a partner with a comprehensive understanding of the HR needs of municipal governments and specifically the need of City of Adelanto.

The requested services are intended to address the unique HR needs of the City, focusing on key areas including:
• Recruitment and Staffing
• Employee Relations and Conflict Resolution
• Compliance and Policy Management
• Payroll Management
• Compensation and Benefits Administration
• Performance Management and Professional Development
• Human Resources Data and Reporting
• Labor Relations
• Health, Safety and Wellness Programs
52 • Property Claims Management
• Miscellaneous Human Resources Functions
At this time staff believes that maintaining the current working relationship with the consultant, City management and City employees in a cost effective manner, combined with the proven track record with municipalities and other local government entities, is the best way to address the City of Adelanto's Human Resource and related services requirements.

ATTACHMENTS:

Professional Services Agreement
Funding for this agreement is off set by the salary savings and is included in 53 CITY OF ADELANTO
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – RHRC1
This Agreement (“Agreement”) for professional services is made by and between the City of ADELANTO (“City”) and RHRC1 (“Consultant”) (together referred to as the “Parties”) as of January 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

Section 1. SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Consultant shall provide to City the services described in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein, at the time and place and in the manner specified therein.

1.1 Term of Services. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall end on 12-31-28 or the date the Consultant completes the services specified in Exhibit A, whichever occurs first, unless the term of the Agreement is otherwise terminated or extended, as referenced herein.

1.2 Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of the profession in which Consultant is engaged.

1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, requests in writing the reassignment of any such persons to ensure Consultant performs services in accordance with the Standard of Performance, Consultant shall, immediately upon receiving City’s request, reassign such persons.

1.4 Time. Consultant shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided herein above and to satisfy Consultant’s obligations hereunder
Section 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Consultant a sum not to exceed four hundred thousand dollars $(400,000), as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein for services to be performed and reimbursable expenses incurred under this Agreement. This dollar amount is not a guarantee that the City will pay that full amount to the Consultant, but is merely a limit of potential City expenditures under this Agreement.

Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Consultant under this Agreement is based upon Consultant’s estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of employees and subcontractors of Consultant.

Consequently, the parties further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Consultant and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement. 54 2.1 Invoices. Consultant shall submit invoices, not more often than once a month during the term of this Agreement, based on the cost for services performed and reimbursable costs incurred prior to the invoice date. Invoices shall contain the following information, unless waived by the City Manager, or his or her designee • Serial identifications of progress bills; i.e., Progress Bill No. 1 for the first invoice, etc.;
• The beginning and ending dates of the billing period; • A Task Summary containing the a brief description of the work and task accomplished during the billing period;
• A summary of each reimbursable expense;
• At the City’s option the total number of hours of work performed under the Agreement by Consultant and each employee, agent, and subcontractor of Consultant performing services hereunder;
• The Consultant’s signature.

2.2 Monthly Payment. City shall make monthly payments, based on invoices received, for services satisfactorily performed, and for authorized reimbursable costs incurred. City shall pay undisputed invoices that comply with the above requirements within 30 days from the receipt of the invoice.

2.3 Final Payment. Consultant shall submit its final invoice within 60 days of completing its services. Consultant’s failure to submit its final invoice within this 60 day period shall constitute Consultant’s waiver of any further billings to, or payments from, City.

2.4 Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable expenses, if any, are specified in Exhibit B and included in the total compensation referenced in Section 2. Expenses not listed in Exhibit B are not chargeable to, or reimbursable by, City.

2.5 Payment of Taxes. Consultant is solely responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, including employment taxes, incurred under this Agreement.

2.6 Authorization to Perform Services. The Consultant is not authorized to perform any services or incur any costs whatsoever under the terms of this Agreement until receipt of a written authorization from the City Manager, or his or her designee.

Section 3. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. Except as set forth herein, Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide all facilities and equipment that may be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement unless offered as an option by the City to protect confidentiality of sensitive information.

Section 4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any services under this Agreement, Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall procure the types and amounts of 55 insurance specified herein and maintain that insurance throughout the term of this Agreement.

The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Consultant’s bid or proposal. Consultant shall be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors or other agents.

4.1 Workers’ Compensation. Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for any and all persons employed directly or indirectly by Consultant in the amount required by applicable law.

4.2 Professional Liability Insurance.

4.2.1 General requirements. Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain for the period covered by this Agreement professional liability insurance for licensed professionals performing work pursuant to this Agreement in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim covering the Consultant’s errors and omissions.

4.3.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant hereby agrees to waive subrogation which any insurer or contractor may require from Consultant by virtue of the payment of any loss. Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsements that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. The Workers’ Compensation policy if required shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.

4.3.6 Subcontractors. Consultant shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein, and Consultant shall ensure that City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are covered as additional insured on all coverages.

4.3.7 Excess Insurance. If Consultant maintains higher insurance limits than the minimums specified herein, City shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.

4.4 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option: 1) obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement; 2) order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement and withhold any payment that becomes due to Consultant hereunder until Consultant demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or 3) terminate this Agreement

However, if we become aware of such matters, we will bring them to your attention.

It is our policy to keep records related to this engagement for a minimum of seven years after the completion of the engagement.

Other Relevant Information
During the course of the engagement, we may recommend a purchase or installation of computer or technological hardware, software, communications, or services by your organization. Warranties, to the extent they exist, are provided only by the manufacturer/developer/vendor of those computer or software products. We will do our best to provide appropriate recommendations when available, but the final decision and responsibility to purchase any computer or software products is at your sole discretion.

We have a basic understanding of computer hardware, but our area of expertise is in accounting software and related integrated applications. We do not have the skill set to work on your network, computer hardware, Windows configuration, mapping of drives or any other computer related issues. We advise that you maintain an ongoing relationship with a qualified IT professional and/or company to ensure that you have assistance available when technology needs arise. This includes your obligation to ensure that you have access to the internet in order to work with the software solutions and other “cloud-based” applications that we will use as a core part of the services we provide to you.

Your financial investment in your ongoing services with us, as well as the scope of our services with you is outlined above and in the Appendices of this agreement. In order to ensure that we are providing you with seamless access to the services and expertise you need from us, your investment has been conveniently structured based on the scope and timing of the services being provided, this includes a monthly fee for certain ongoing services, periodic fees for services performed not performed monthly, and out of scope services, as needed. If the volume or complexity of the services you request, or other matters change relating to the services we are providing to you, we will communicate any related changes in our fees to you.

We want to ensure that you are never surprised by the fee for any service we provide. Therefore, we have adopted a “Service Order” Policy. If you request that we provide services beyond those outlined in this agreement we will be happy to provide you with a “Service Order” outlining the scope of that request, our fees, and anticipated timeline for those services. Although we strive to meet your needs, we reserve the right to decline a request for additional services that are outside the scope of services we provide, our expertise, or for any other reason. Any such requests will be considered addendums to this agreement.

In the event that we are required to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process for the production of documents and/or testimony relative to information we obtained and/or prepared during the course of this engagement, you agree to compensate us at our standard hourly rates at the time the services are performed.

We will request a retainer payment in advance of the services being performed, as well as ongoing replenishments of the retainer. You also agree to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in that regard.

We may from time to time, and depending on the circumstances and nature of the services we are providing, share your confidential information with third-party service providers, some of whom may be cloud-based, but we remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.

In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Although we will use our best efforts to make the sharing of your information to such third parties secure from unauthorized access, no completely secure system for electronic data transfer has yet been devised. As such, by your signature below, you understand that the firm makes no warranty, expressed or implied, on the security of electronic data transfers. 87 December 26, 2025

Therefore, we specifically disclaim and waive any liability or responsibility whatsoever for interception or unintentional disclosure or communication of email transmissions, or for the unauthorized use or failed delivery of emails transmitted by us in connection with the performance of this engagement. In that regard, you agree that we shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any person or entity resulting from the use of email transmissions, including any consequential, incidental, direct, indirect, or special damages, such as loss of sales or anticipated profits, or disclosure or communication of confidential or proprietary information.

By your signature below, you acknowledge and agree that upon the expiration of the seven-year period, Price Paige & Company shall be free to destroy our records related to this engagement.

The costs of any mediation proceeding shall be shared equally by all parties.

Client and accountant both agree that any dispute over fees charged by the accountant to the client will be submitted for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules for resolving professional accounting and related services disputes of the American Arbitration Association except that under all circumstances the arbitrator must follow the laws of California. Such arbitration shall be binding and final. IN

AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, WE BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE OVER

DECIDED IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND INSTEAD WE ARE ACCEPTING THE USE OF ARBITRATION FOR RESOLUTION. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration of the dispute in an amount to be determined by the arbitrator.

This letter sets forth the entire agreement relating to our work with you. This letter supersedes any prior agreements, discussions or understandings. No amendment or modification of this agreement shall be valid unless in writing, signed by both parties to this agreement. As indicated earlier in this agreement, you may request that we perform additional services at a future date beyond the scope of this engagement letter. If this occurs, we will communicate with you regarding the scope and estimated cost of these additional services.

Engagements for additional services will necessitate that we issue a Service Order as an addendum to this agreement, or in a separate engagement letter to reflect the obligations of both parties.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please sign the original copy of this letter in the space provided and return it to us at your earliest convenience.

Your Processing, Meeting and Reporting Schedule
In order to ensure timely and accurate ongoing services, it is important that we ask you to provide us with your ongoing transactions, accounts payable and other information, and that you attend your ongoing meetings with us on a routine and scheduled basis. Our team member’s schedules are designed to work on various accounts on a recurring basis and scheduling meetings allows for us to properly allocate sufficient time to your account.

Periodic Management Meetings – We will work with you to identify a date and time each month that is convenient for you so that we can schedule this ongoing appointment. More frequent communication may be required as we begin our work with you and/or when we are completing any Service Order requests. We will coordinate this with you.

Financial Reports
You will receive confirmation from us that your internal management reports have been finalized and are available for your review. We will work with you to establish the date the reports will be ready each period based on your City Council meeting dates. We will discuss with you the required periodic reports to be provided on a standard and routine basis. Custom reports that require additional analysis outside of normal and routine monthly processing may be considered to be special projects and subject to additional fees.

We will discuss with you and your team any additional reports that may be helpful to be included in the financial reporting package.

Fees and Payments
We will analyze our fees on a quarterly basis in order to discuss any appropriate changes. Our services will be rendered on an annual basis and the City or Price Paige and Company can cancel the services within 30 days written notice.

(Continued)
Service Order Requests – Fees and Terms
Our standard hourly rates for out of scope work varies according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your accounting engagement. Our billing rates are reviewed annually and, where appropriate, adjusted for any increases due to inflation and other factors.

It is our intention to utilize personnel at their highest and best use to minimize the total cost to the City.

Out of Pocket Expenses
You will be charged for travel and for any out-of-pocket expenses we incur on your behalf (office supplies, postage, etc.). Generally, these charges will be invoiced monthly. However, we reserve the right to request payment in advance for estimated out-of-pocket expenses at our discretion. All other terms are as outlined in the “Fees” section of this agreement.

Non-Solicit Clause
We value each and every one of our clients as well as each and every one of our employees. We have spent a great deal of time and resources to locate, train, and retain our employees. We respectfully request that you do not solicit our employees to work for you. If you do hire one of our employees within 2 years of when they last worked for Price Paige & Company, we will be due a finder’s fee equal to 100% of the annual salary they were earning as of their last day of employment. Payment will be due within 10 days of your receipt of our invoice.

On-Site Services
It is anticipated that the majority of the work will be performed remotely from our office in Clovis, California. We have many ways of working with you remotely. This includes, but is not limited to, Remote Access through Microsoft Teams, Zoom, document exchange via web-portal, etc. We prefer to work remotely for three reasons:
1) We can schedule an appointment with you much more quickly; 2) It is a more cost-effective alternative for you than paying out of pocket travel charges; and 3) We are more readily available to you and our other clients to answer questions as they arise.

For these and many other reasons that benefit you as our client, our Financial Support Services are provided in a virtual environment.

We look forward to working with you!

During the course of the engagement, we may recommend a purchase or installation of computer or technological hardware, software, communications, or services by your organization. Warranties, to the extent they exist, are provided only by the manufacturer/developer/vendor of those computer or software products. We will do our best to provide appropriate recommendations when available, but the final decision and responsibility to purchase any computer or software products is at your sole discretion.

We have a basic understanding of computer hardware, but our area of expertise is in accounting software and related integrated applications. We do not have the skill set to work on your network, computer hardware, Windows configuration, mapping of drives or any other computer related issues. We advise that you maintain an ongoing relationship with a qualified IT professional and/or company to ensure that you have assistance available when technology needs arise. This includes your obligation to ensure that you have access to the internet in order to work with the software solutions and other “cloud-based” applications that we will use as a core part of the services we provide to you.

Your financial investment in your ongoing services with us, as well as the scope of our services with you is outlined above and in the Appendices of this agreement. In order to ensure that we are providing you with seamless access to the services and expertise you need from us, your investment has been conveniently structured based on the scope and timing of the services being provided, this includes a monthly fee for certain ongoing services, periodic fees for services performed not performed monthly, and out of scope services, as needed. If the volume or complexity of the services you request, or other matters change relating to the services we are providing to you, we will communicate any related changes in our fees to you.

We want to ensure that you are never surprised by the fee for any service we provide. Therefore, we have adopted a “Service Order” Policy. If you request that we provide services beyond those outlined in this agreement we will be happy to provide you with a “Service Order” outlining the scope of that request, our fees, and anticipated timeline for those services. Although we strive to meet your needs, we reserve the right to decline a request for additional services that are outside the scope of services we provide, our expertise, or for any other reason. Any such requests will be considered addendums to this agreement.

In the event that we are required to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process for the production of documents and/or testimony relative to information we obtained and/or prepared during the course of this engagement, you agree to compensate us at our standard hourly rates at the time the services are performed.

We will request a retainer payment in advance of the services being performed, as well as ongoing replenishments of the retainer. You also agree to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in that regard.

We may from time to time, and depending on the circumstances and nature of the services we are providing, share your confidential information with third-party service providers, some of whom may be cloud-based, but we remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.

In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Although we will use our best efforts to make the sharing of your information to such third parties secure from unauthorized access, no completely secure system for electronic data transfer has yet been devised. As such, by your signature below, you understand that the firm makes no warranty, expressed or implied, on the security of electronic data transfers. 98 December 26, 2025

In connection with this engagement, we may communicate with you or others via email transmission. We take reasonable measures to secure your confidential information in our email transmissions and other confidential documents. However, as emails can be intercepted and read, disclosed, or otherwise used or communicated by an unintended third party, or may not be delivered to each of the parties to whom they are directed and only to such parties, we cannot guarantee or warrant that emails from us will be properly delivered and read only by the addressee. Therefore, we specifically disclaim and waive any liability or responsibility whatsoever for interception or unintentional disclosure or communication of email transmissions, or for the unauthorized use or failed delivery of emails transmitted by us in connection with the performance of this engagement. In that regard, you agree that we shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any person or entity resulting from the use of email transmissions, including any consequential, incidental, direct, indirect, or special damages, such as loss of sales or anticipated profits, or disclosure or communication of confidential or proprietary information.

You recognize and accept that we have no control over the unauthorized interception or breach of any communications or data once it has been sent or has been subject to unauthorized access, notwithstanding all reasonable security measures employed by us or our third-party vendors, and consent to our use of these electronic devices and applications and submission of confidential client information to third-party service providers during this engagement.

It is our policy to keep records related to this engagement for seven years. However, Price Paige & Company does not keep any original client records, so we will return those to you at the completion of the services rendered under this engagement. When records are returned to you, it is your responsibility to retain and protect your records for possible future use, including potential examination by any government or regulatory agencies.

By your signature below, you acknowledge and agree that upon the expiration of the seven-year period, Price Paige & Company shall be free to destroy our records related to this engagement.

If any dispute arises among the parties hereto, the parties agree to first try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules for resolving professional accounting and related services disputes before resorting to litigation. The costs of any mediation proceeding shall be shared equally by all parties.

Client and accountant both agree that any dispute over fees charged by the accountant to the client will be submitted for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules for resolving professional accounting and related services disputes of the American Arbitration Association except that under all circumstances the arbitrator must follow the laws of California. Such arbitration shall be binding and final. IN

AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, WE BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE OVER

FEES CHARGED BY THE ACCOUNTANT, EACH OF US IS GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE DISPUTE

DECIDED IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND INSTEAD WE ARE ACCEPTING THE USE OF ARBITRATION FOR RESOLUTION. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration of the dispute in an amount to be determined by the arbitrator.

This letter sets forth the entire agreement relating to our work with you. This letter supersedes any prior agreements, discussions or understandings. No amendment or modification of this agreement shall be valid unless in writing, signed by both parties to this agreement. As indicated earlier in this agreement, you may request that we perform additional services at a future date beyond the scope of this engagement letter. If this occurs, we will communicate with you regarding the scope and estimated cost of these additional services.

Engagements for additional services will necessitate that we issue a Service Order as an addendum to this agreement, or in a separate engagement letter to reflect the obligations of both parties.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please sign the original copy of this letter in the space provided and return it to us at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

In order to ensure timely and accurate ongoing services, it is important that we ask you to provide us with your ongoing transactions, accounts payable and other information, and that you attend your ongoing meetings with us on a routine and scheduled basis.

More frequent communication may be required as we begin our work with you and/or when we are completing any Service Order requests. We will coordinate this with you.

Financial Reports
You will receive confirmation from us that your internal management reports have been finalized and are available for your review. We will work with you to establish the date the reports will be ready each period based on your City Council meeting dates. We will discuss with you the required periodic reports to be provided on a standard and routine basis. Custom reports that require additional analysis outside of normal and routine monthly processing may be considered to be special projects and subject to additional fees.

We will discuss with you and your team any additional reports that may be helpful to be included in the financial reporting package.

Service Order Requests – Fees and Terms
Our standard hourly rates for out of scope work varies according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your accounting engagement. Our billing rates are reviewed annually and, where appropriate, adjusted for any increases due to inflation and other factors.

It is our intention to utilize personnel at their highest and best use to minimize the total cost to the City.

Out of Pocket Expenses
You will be charged for travel and for any out-of-pocket expenses we incur on your behalf (office supplies, postage, etc.). Generally, these charges will be invoiced monthly. However, we reserve the right to request payment in advance for estimated out-of-pocket expenses at our discretion. All other terms are as outlined in the “Fees” section of this agreement.

Non-Solicit Clause
We value each and every one of our clients as well as each and every one of our employees. We have spent a great deal of time and resources to locate, train, and retain our employees. We respectfully request that you do not solicit our employees to work for you. If you do hire one of our employees within 2 years of when they last worked for Price Paige & Company, we will be due a finder’s fee equal to 100% of the annual salary they were earning as of their last day of employment. Payment will be due within 10 days of your receipt of our invoice.

It is anticipated that the majority of the work will be performed remotely from our office in Clovis, California. We have many ways of working with you remotely. This includes, but is not limited to, Remote Access through Microsoft Teams, Zoom, document exchange via web-portal, etc. We prefer to work remotely for three reasons:
1) We can schedule an appointment with you much more quickly; 2) It is a more cost-effective alternative for you than paying out of pocket travel charges; and 3) We are more readily available to you and our other clients to answer questions as they arise.

For these and many other reasons that benefit you as our client, our Financial Support Services are provided in a virtual environment.

We look forward to working with you!

f. Inspection and Final Acceptance. The Services shall be performed to the satisfaction of City. City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, during performance and/or when completed. City shall reject or finally accept Contractor’s work within forty five (45) days after submitted to City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud, and such gross mistakes as amount to fraud.

1.5 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall devote such time to the performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy Contractor’s obligations hereunder. Contractor shall commence the Services pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt of a written notice to proceed and shall perform all Services within the time period(s) established in the Scope of Services. When requested by Contractor, extensions to the time period(s) specified in the Scope of Services may be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator but not shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days cumulatively.

1.6 Force Majeure. The time period(s) specified in the Scope of Services for performance of the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including City, if Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Contract Administrator in writing of the causes of the delay.

2512/026150-0001
19521958.1 a01/07/26 -4-
extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the Services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the sole judgment of the Contract Administrator such delay is justified.

It is agreed by the Parties that, in connection with the development, construction (as defined by applicable law) and operation of the Services, including, without limitation, any public work (as defined by applicable law), if any, Contractor shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of state and/or federal prevailing wages and/or the implementation of California Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781, as the same may be enacted, adopted or amended from time to time, and/or any other provision of law. To the extent applicable, City will enforce all penalties required by law for Contractor’s failure to pay prevailing wages. b. California Labor Code. The Contractor’s attention is directed to Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 of the California Labor Code and especially to Article 2 (Wages); and Article 3 (Working Hours), thereof.

(v) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1813, it is stipulated hereby that Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of this Agreement by Contractor or by any subcontractor hereunder for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one (1) calendar week in violation of the provisions of Article 3 (commencing with Section 1810), Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 of the California Labor Code.
(vi) Contractor is aware of and will comply with the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 with respect to the employment of apprentices.

(vii) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1775, it is hereby stipulated that Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than two-hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for the Services by Contractor or any sub-consultant or subcontractor. c. Bidding Eligibility. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.1, no contractor or subcontractor (or consultant or subconsultant) may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 6109, Contractor may not perform any Services hereunder with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform the Services pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the California Labor Code.
d. DIR Monitoring. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.4, Contractor is hereby notified that this project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
e. Indemnification Related to Prevailing Wages. Section 5, Indemnification, specifically encompasses Claims arising from or related to (i) the noncompliance by Contractor or any party performing the Services of any applicable local, state, and/or federal law, including, without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state labor laws (including, without limitation, the requirement to pay state prevailing wages and hire apprentices); (ii) the implementation of California Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any other similar law; and/or (iii) failure by Contractor or any party performing the Services to provide any required disclosure or identification as required by California Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law.

7.4 Licenses and Permits, Fees, and Assessments. Contractor represents, warrants, and covenants to City that Contractor and its employees, agents, and any subcontractors have all licenses, permits, qualifications, and approvals of whatsoever nature that are legally required to 122
2512/026150-0001
19521958.1 a01/07/26 -17-
practice their respective professions, and perform the Services. Contractor represents, warrants, and covenants to City that Contractor and its employees, agents, and subcontractors shall, at their sole cost and expense, keep in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement any licenses, permits, and approvals that are legally required to practice their respective professions, and perform the Services. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor and any subcontractors shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement valid business licenses from City. Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments, and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for Contractor’s performance of the Services, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed, or imposed against City hereunder.

7.5 Conflicts of Interest. Contractor represents, warrants, and covenants that Contractor presently has no interest, direct or indirect, which would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of Contractor’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement. Contractor further agrees that while this Agreement is in effect, Contractor shall not acquire or otherwise obtain any interest, direct or indirect, that would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of Contractor’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.

7.6 Unfair Business Practices Claims. In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time City renders final payment to Contractor without further acknowledgment of the Parties.

7.7 Annual Appropriation of Funding. In accord with Article 16 Section 18 of the California Constitution, payment of compensation under this Agreement is contingent upon annual appropriation of funds by City for that purpose. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that the Services extend beyond one (1) fiscal year, payment for such Services is expressly conditioned on City’s annual appropriation of funds for such Services for each year. If no funds are appropriated then this Agreement shall be terminated. City pledges and agrees to process such appropriation requests annually and in good faith. Nothing in this Subsection shall be construed to limit the right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.

7.8 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to City the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services. City may withhold from any monies payable on account of the Services performed by Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. 123

8.2 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City.

8.3 Consequences of Termination. In the event of termination, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for the Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; City, however, may condition payment of such compensation upon Contractor delivering to City any or all materials provided to Contractor or prepared by or for Contractor or City in connection with this Agreement. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all Services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Administrator.

8.4 Administrative Change Orders. City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the Services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Administrator to Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the total compensation, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of Contractor. Any increase in compensation of up to five percent (5%) of the total compensation or TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000), whichever is less; or in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days may be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator. Contractor understands and agrees that, if City grants an extension in time without additional work, City shall have no obligation to provide Contractor with compensation beyond the maximum amount provided for in this Agreement. Similarly, unless authorized by the Contract Administrator, City shall have no obligation to reimburse Contractor for any otherwise reimbursable expenses incurred during the extension period. All other extensions or modifications to this Agreement shall require a written amendment pursuant to Subsection 8.5.

8.5 Amendments. The Parties may amend this Agreement only by a writing signed by all the Parties. The Contract Administrator shall have the authority to execute amendments to this Agreement which do not materially change the terms hereof, in the Contract Administrator’s discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable federal, state, and local law. The Contract Administrator may refer any proposed amendment to the City Council for review and approval.

8.6 Assignment and Subcontracting. City and Contractor recognize and agree that this Agreement contemplates personal performance by Contractor and is based upon a determination of Contractor’s unique personal competence, experience, and specialized personal knowledge.

Moreover, a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement was and is the professional reputation and competence of Contractor. Contractor may not assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. Contractor shall not subcontract any portion of the performance contemplated and provided for herein, other 124
2512/026150-0001
19521958.1 a01/07/26 -19-
than to the subcontractors noted in the Scope of Services, without prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. In the event of any unapproved assignment, including in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved assignment shall release Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

8.7 Survival. All obligations arising prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement allocating liability between City and Contractor shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.8 Disputes, Default. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any of the Services performed after the date of default. Instead, City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, City's remedies shall include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following:
a. Immediately terminate this Agreement;
b. Retain the plans, specifications, drawings, reports, design documents, and any other work product prepared by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement; c. Retain a different contractor to complete the Services; and/or d. Charge Contractor the difference between the cost to complete the Services that is unfinished at the time of breach and the amount that City would have paid Contractor pursuant to Section 2 if Contractor had completed the Services.

Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

8.9 Claims by Contractor. Claims, as that term is defined in California Public Contract Code Section 9204, by Contractor and, where applicable, any subcontractor, in connection with a public works project shall by subject to the mediation procedure in California Public Contract Code Section 9204.

DISCUSSION:

On October 1, 2025, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a design service was released and made publicly available on the electronic plan room and City’s website. On December 2, 2025, six (6) proposals were received from the following firms:

It was determined that the proposal submitted by Onward Engineering met the City requirements. Onward Engineering has an extensive experience and successfully completed similar projects for numerous cities Statewide. The staff determined that Onward Engineering demonstrated the capability to provide design services for Auburn Avenue Project.

Staff recommends City Council approve the award of a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) with Onward Engineering in the amount of $320,678.24 for Auburn Avenue Street Design Services, and authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the City Council. 136

City of Adelanto December 2nd, 2025
Attn: Brenda Lopez
11600 Air Expressway, Adelanto, CA 92301
Subject: Auburn Avenue Street Design Services
Onward Engineering is pleased to submit our proposal for the Auburn Avenue Street Design project. We approached this effort with careful attention and a strong desire to partner with the City. Before preparing our scope, our team drove and walked the corridor from US 395 to Koala Road, studied drainage patterns and natural flow paths, and evaluated existing development. We did this because delivering the right design for Adelanto requires first understanding it in the field.

Your project needs a consultant who will think ahead, remove uncertainty, and give the City a design that is clear, buildable, and respectful of both cost and constructability. Our team is structured to meet that expectation. Project Manager Justin Smeets, PE, PLS, QSD, has substantial experience leading corridor designs, roadway widenings, and City-to-Caltrans coordination. Lead Project Engineer Ryan Dennis, P.ENG., brings municipal roadway experience honed through his work on arterial, intersection, and access improvements. QA/QC Manager Joe Dyer, PE, TE, provides senior oversight as both a Civil and Traffic Engineer.

In addition to our world class team and commitment to the City, we bring two advantages that set us apart. First, our in-house survey team, which gives us full control over response time, data accuracy, and field verification. We can mobilize quickly and adapt instantly if the City requires additional topographic confirmation. Second, our ClickUp project management system, which provides real time transparency for your staff. Every task, deadline, comment, meeting note, and deliverable is organized and visible so the City always knows the status of the project and what is coming next.

Throughout this proposal, you will see that we took the time to anticipate design challenges, identify drainage and grading constraints, and structure optional services. We made these distinctions so the City has full clarity and flexibility when determining the most responsible direction for the corridor.

If the City wants a partner who will put Adelanto first, communicate clearly, plan proactively, and deliver a design package that reflects the gold standard in municipal roadway engineering, Onward Engineering is that partner. We would be honored to support Adelanto on this important project and are ready to begin immediately.

Thank you,

Koala Drive
Koala Road
Auburn Avenue
Site Evaluation
A review of available documentation and a detailed visual inspection of the site will be undertaken.

The inspection will include visual observations, photographs, and field measurements (i.e. design conflict, dimensions, etc.). All findings of the site evaluation will be geo-referenced on aerial photographs in a GIS map. Each design conflict will have dimensions, street level photographs, or any other pertinent information linked to the map. If requested, OE will provide the City with a link to the site evaluation data, which will also be transferred to the construction plan sheets. project Approach

3. Approach to the Scope of Work
Onward Engineering submits this proposal to design the Auburn Avenue improvements from US 395 to Koala Road, including surveying, drainage, grading, WQMP, SWPPP, and full PS&E development. Our team is prepared to deliver a clear, efficient, and constructible design aligned with the City’s goals.

2. Executive Summary
160
Drone Mapping
The site assessment will be enhanced with the collection of high-resolution aerial photographs of the streets using our drone. Our team has four remote pilots licensed by the FAA to fly drones for commercial use. The aerial photographs assist us in developing the base maps and plans by accurately recording site surface features, pavement conditions, and street striping configurations, as well as providing us with highly detailed reference data that cannot be achieved through traditional site evaluation methods. Additionally, the images collected are at a higher resolution than images provided by other sources and are ideal for use in the preparation of exhibits. The image below, collected for a previous project, demonstrates the level of detailed information that can be collected using drone technology. The aerial photos collected are merged into a composite image in post-processing to create complete street segments with very high levels of detail.

Pavement
New pavement will be constructed between Koala Drive and Larkspur Road. Due to the potential for future thermal cracking in the region, a pavement capable of handling freeze/thaw conditions will be specified, such as PG 64-28PM. The existing pavement between Larkspur Road and US 395 is in poor condition. Typically, it is recommended that pavement in this condition be milled and overlayed or reconstructed.

Determination of the final street cross sections, pavement structural sections, and construction methods used will be based on the following data sources:
• Site evaluation findings • Geotechnical investigation results and recommendations • Cost-Benefit Analysis • Discussions with the City
In addition to traditional construction methods OE can assess the potential benefits of incorporating alternative pavement treatments into the design at the City’s request. The cost of incorporating these treatments varies; however, they typically result in upfront cost savings in labor and material costs or long-term savings by providing a street with service life comparable to one that has been reconstructed at a reduced price. The following is a brief description of some of the methods that could be considered.

Fiber Reinforced Asphalt
Fiber additives can be incorporated into full depth pavement layers, overlays, and slurry seals to improve the tensile strength, crack resistance, and service life of the pavement. Fiber reinforced asphalt has been utilized on projects by a growing number of Cities throughout Southern California. Cost savings can be realized by extending the pavement life and by reducing the required pavement thicknesses, as compared to conventional asphalt mixes.

Asphalt Rubber Cape Seal (ARCS)
Asphalt rubber cape seal can be utilized in lieu of conventional cape seal or grind and overlay in some cases. While conventional cape seals can last 6 to 8 years on streets with 1/8” to 1/4” SECTION 3: Approach to the Scope of Work
Request For Proposal, for the City of Adelanto,
Auburn Avenue Street Design Services Project
161

alligator cracks, ARCS can increase the pavement service life up to 15 years on roads with 3/8” to 1/2” alligator cracks. Additionally, ARCS is approximately 3-4 times less expensive than a 2” overlay.

Street Shoulders
The edges of the street pavement will be finished with reinforced shoulders. The shoulders can be constructed with compacted soil or gravel, or by extending the limits of the pavement.

Paving a street next to native soil can result in the edges of the pavement cracking and breaking.

Installing redwood headers along the sides of the pavement allows for better compaction of the base material, maintains a clean edge line, and reduces the risk of edge cracking.

Storm Runoff Management
The undeveloped parcels adjacent to Auburn Avenue
are relatively flat. Storm runoff is currently managed
via overland drainage and infiltration into undeveloped areas. The preliminary site evaluation did not identify any underground culverts or ditches to control the
migration of the runoff, except for a drainage ditch at the east end of the site that runs parallel to U.S. Route 395. A hydraulic analysis will be conducted to determine if the addition of the impervious pavement surface will have a significant impact to surface runoff in the area.

OE will discuss the results with the City to determine
the appropriate measures to manage the additional
runoff which may include one or more of the following
options:
• Construction of infiltration wells.
• Re-grading of site to divert runoff to undeveloped parcels for surface infiltration.

Joshua Trees
Joshua trees are present throughout the site and in close proximity to the existing edge of the street. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) does not enforce a fixed setback distance, but recommends avoiding direct disturbance to tree trunks and root systems (typically
within a 10-to-15-foot radius of the base for mature trees.

It is recommended that a Joshua Tree Census Report be
prepared that documents the locations of the trees within the project limits and an Incidental Take Permit be applied for where impacts are unavoidable. This proposal assumes that the City’s environmental consultant will handle all tasks and permitting related to this issue.

Curb Ramps
Three existing curb ramps observed at the Larkspur
Road and Del Mano Court intersections were not
ADA compliant. Up to 3 ramps will be redesigned
at these locations as 3-dimensional surfaces in
Civil 3D to ensure that the ADA slope and
dimension requirements are adhered to. Custom
curb ramp details prepared for the construction
plans will include horizontal geometrics and
design elevations.

If a ramp cannot be designed to achieve complete ADA compliance due to limiting site factors such as intersecting street and sidewalk grades, the ramp will be designed to be as compliant as possible, and a Curb Ramp Memo signed by a Professional Engineer would be prepared.

Driveways
No developments with driveways intersecting Auburn Avenue were noted within the areas of new street construction. Existing driveways in disrepair between Larkspur Road and Bellflower Street will be denoted on the plans for reconstruction with reference to an SPPWC standard detail.

SCOPE OF WORK
The following is our scope of work for design engineering services integrated with the site-specific tasks outlined in the City’s Request for Proposal, to which no exceptions are taken.

WEST 17TH STREET WIDENING PROJECT, COSTA MESA
Justin was the Project Manager for the City of Costa Mesa on the West 17th Street Widening, from Placentia Avenue to Superior Avenue. 17th Street is a primary arterial. The Standard roadway width for a primary arterial is a 106’ right of way. The existing configuration was a 2-lane divided highway with center two-way left turn lane. The existing land uses were mostly commercial properties with a new mixed-use development at the southeast corner of 17th Street and Pomona Avenue. There were 16 properties along West 17th Street within the limits of this widening. The properties along West 17th Street had varying R/W frontages. This meant that widening affected each property differently. The design intent for this widening was to meet the classification of four-lane Primary Arterial as described in the OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).

This includes 2-lanes in each direction with a median.

The plan set included Plan and Profile sheets, Signing and Striping sheets, and the site development plan. The project was crucial to the City of Villa Park because the parking lot serves as the only business center within the City of Villa Park. Construction Management of this project involved coordination with multiple business owners, and residents within the city because this project was located at the only business center within the City.

BALL ROAD & SUNKIST STREET WIDENING PROJECT, ANAHEIM
Justin was the Project Manager on the Ball Rd. & Sunkist St. widening project for the City of Anaheim. Justin was responsible for the drainage report, sizing catch basins, and preparing the preliminary SWPPP for the project. The project involved widening at Ball Road and Sunkist Street to accommodate additional turn lanes on Sunkist Street, and additional thru-lanes along Ball Road, in order to maximize traffic flow approaching and exiting the 57 freeway. The widening created the need to relocate 3 catch basins. All 3 catch basin sizes were analyzed and adjusted based on hydrologic and hydraulic flows.

MANHATTAN BEACH BLVD. & SEPULVEDA BLVD. WIDENING, MANHATTAN BEACH Justin was the Project Manager to the City of Manhattan Beach on the Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard Widening project. The proposed project limits include the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard to accommodate dual left turn lanes in the northbound to westbound, eastbound to southbound, and westbound to northbound directions. The City of Lawndale is east of the project area, the City of Redondo Beach is south of the intersection, El Segundo sits to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Commercial businesses can be found throughout the project limits. The purpose of the project was to increase the operational capabilities of the intersection. This was accomplished by adding dual left turn lanes to the westbound, northbound and eastbound lanes. Northbound and southbound Sepulveda will have five travel lanes; two left turn lanes, and three through lanes. Eastbound and Westbound Manhattan Beach Boulevard will have five travel lanes; two left turn lanes, two through lanes and one dedicated right turn lane.

PRESIDIO PARKWAY / DOYLE DRIVE PROJECT, BENICIA
The Presidio Parkway in San Francisco replaced the southern access road to the Golden Gate Bridge, also known as Doyle Drive (Route 101). Terraphase provided environmental and geotechnical engineering services to the Public Private Partnership (P3) responsible for the design and construction of the Presidio Parkway. During construction Terraphase characterized soils, managed soil movement, and tracked soil disposal for approximately 440,000 CY of cut and 300,000 CY of fill.

Terraphase engineers were monitoring the groundwater treatment system and preparing quarterly NPDES reports while our operators were providing routine and emergency system O&M services.

Our geologists were monitoring groundwater and providing on-call environmental services. When the P3 team encountered unanticipated contamination, our team of engineers, geologists, and field operators expeditiously and successfully executed three remedial excavations.

In addition, Terraphase evaluated the overburden and spoils generated during the cement deep soil mixing (CDSM) process, which provides subsurface stability for beneficial reuse on the project. The characterization could potentially allow for significant reductions in disposal costs and minimize air emissions that would be incurred with CDSM spoil disposal and clean fill import.

The Presidio Parkway was completed in 2015 and is the regional gateway through the Presidio and Golden Gate National Recreational Area. Following construction of the roadway,

SURFSIDE ACADEMY, OCEANSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, OCEANSIDE CLed geotechnical investigation for the reconstruction project including demolition, new construction, and utility upgrades.

The work included asphalt reconstruction, curb and gutter repairs, and signing and striping enhancements to improve safety and traffic flow. We also managed environmental compliance (NEPA/CEQA), right-of-way certification, and federal authorization requirements, while supporting the City through bid review, construction engineering, and project closeout. This project highlights our ability to provide complete, compliant, and cost-conscious roadway design solutions.

Manhattan Beach Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard Widening OE provided design engineering services to the City of Manhattan Beach on the Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard Widening project. The proposed project limits include the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard to accommodate dual left turn lanes in the northbound to westbound, eastbound to southbound, and westbound to northbound directions. The City of Lawndale is east of the project area, the City of Redondo Beach is south of the intersection, El Segundo sits to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Commercial businesses can be found throughout the project limits. The purpose of the project was to increase the operational capabilities of the intersection. This was accomplished by adding dual left turn lanes to the westbound, northbound and eastbound lanes. Northbound and southbound Sepulveda will have five travel lanes; two left turn lanes, and three through lanes. Eastbound and Westbound Manhattan Beach Boulevard will have five travel lanes; two left turn lanes, two through lanes and one dedicated right turn lane.

In total, the project covered approximately 8,940 linear feet of roadway improvements. The scope of work featured a combination of a 3-inch grind with ARHM overlay, including a leveling course, Type II slurry, and extensive concrete improvements. These enhancements included sidewalk upgrades, ADA-compliant ramps, driveway reconstructions, and curb and gutter improvements, all designed to ensure long-lasting durability and significantly improved driving conditions on these vital thoroughfares.

Chino Hills Los Serranos Widening and Sidewalk Improvement Project OE provided full Design Engineering services for the Los Serranos Infrastructure - ATP Project.

The proposed project limits included the widening of ten rural residential streets in the Los Serranos area of Chino Hills. The project limits are located just west of the 71-freeway towards the east end of the City of Chino Hills. The project locations are surrounded by single family residential homes. The project is funded through the Active Transportation Program Project.

Currently the Los Serranos area is very rural. The project limits include very minimal curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The ATP grant proposed provided funding for curb, gutter, and sidewalk on one side of each of the ten streets. The design included widening one side of the street on ten street segments within the City of Chino Hills.
