11 Municipal Engineering Services
Project Management
Interwest has extensive experience and success in developing and implementing municipal public works projects, including those with State and/or Federal funding requiring compliance with Departments of Transportation’s Local Assistance Procedures Manual. We create and apply management systems that work and carefully monitor program effectiveness by closely tracking work quality, quantity, and cost. Our approach begins with the identification of specific project priorities and their scheduled completions.

Delivering Capital Projects under aggressive schedules involves management, administration, and oversight of project development teams from inception to completion. Project management to Interwest means complete ownership of all aspects including project delivery, funding, project development, and programming. We measure our success in meeting deadlines, project budgets and most importantly, our client’s expectations. Areas of focus include:
+ Monitoring program effectiveness

We view our role and mission as facilitating the efficient delivery of high -quality design plan check projects by:

Docusign Envelope ID: 80F3FF2E-2C91-4082-AB43-8112E1AA333B Interwest S tatement of Qualifications
Interwest Consulting Group
12 + Taking a partnering versus regulatory approach
+ Balancing the need to ensure conformance to standards and regulations with the need for predictability, uniformity, and efficiency
+ Having a goal of “ no surprises” for the applicant and the client + Creating an internal team which provides a seamless design plan review process to prevent unintentional “games of gotcha” for project applicants.

All plan reviews will be evaluated by the project manager for quality control of the plan review, the level and quality of comments from the review, consistency with similar reviews, the avoidance of late hits or “gotcha” comments, the evaluation of the de sign professional’s submittal and whether they are addressing prior comments or have justifiable reasoning in their designs that may allow leniency from standards. The project manager will meet with the design professional and their client if prior comments are not being addressed. We have found this will get the process back on track or provide the project owner/client with a more realistic schedule based on their design professionals’ actions.

The discussion above describes Interwest Consulting Group’s philosophy and approach of “how” we do our work.

A typical scenario for “what” we do related to the review and processing of final maps, landscape plans, improvement plans, hydrology and hydraulic s calculations and plans, and traffic engineering and operations plans and reports, follows:
+ Provide plan reviews for final maps, improvement and landscape plans . Review includes evaluation of required reports, studies, grading and improvement plans, and design professional’s recommendations .

E
ach plan review is assigned to a design plan reviewer with oversight of the project manager. The assigned design plan revi ewer will be committed to the project and will furnish all subsequent submittal reviews for the project. This maintains a consistent review and avoids “late hit” comments. + Each plan review will be accompanied with a letter summarizing the red -line comments . This letter will be addressed directly to the applicant’s engineer or landscape architect, with a copy to client staff and the applicant. A complete red -lined set of drawings and any reports will be returned to the design professional for use in their co rrections.
+ The Project Manager will meet with the Design Professional and client staff to review comments or to delineate the standards which are not being met to assist in the timely completion of the review a nd
m
eeting the maximum goal of two plan reviews. If necessary, the third review will confirm that all previous comments have been addressed. This meeting can take place in the Design Engineer’s office, if desired so that minor comments/discrepancies can be immediately addressed and the improvement plans and repo rts c
an be deemed technically correct and submitted for signature approvals. + We will meet with other client staff and outside agencies , as needed, to review their progress and/or their comments.
+ Interwest can provide structural engineers to assist in any structural reviews , for any of the assigne d p
rojects. We can provide these reviews concurrently with the improvement plan reviews and within the stated timeframes.
+ Map checking will be overseen by professional engineer’s licensed to practice land surveying or by license d L
and Surveyors.
+ Engineering review of grading permit/applications is highly dependent upon the complexity and location of the proposed grading. A single lot entitled commercial grading permit application will be reviewed differently from a hillside lot or subdivision, or a project adjacent to a drainage corridor.

13 + Soils reports will be evaluated, and confirmation of recommendations will be included on the plans.

Boundary conditions will be evaluated to maintain continuity with surrounding properties and maintain existing drainage patterns.
+ Construction erosion control and post construction water quality control will be reviewed for compliance with the storm water quality management permit in effect.

Stormwater
Interwest cooperate s with local agency partners to create and implement storm water quality compliance guidelines as mandated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements – specifically, the Regional Boards’ latest MS4 permit for the client.

Our staff provides technical guidance to the Plan Check and entitlement groups and development community by providing interpretation of Regional Water Quality Control Board permit requirements and associated water quality compliance guidelines. We will also conduct public outreach campaigns as required by NPDES permit to make public aware of critical water quality issues. Interwest will assist in providing technical and material support to upper management and in -house staff regarding complex hydraulic and hydrological related issues. We will also review development plans to ensure that plans submitted by private developers are in compliance with drainage and floodplain management policies by conforming to local agency standards, drainage ordinances, and flo odplain development policies.

The Interwest Drainage Team will also support the client in implementing the requirements of the client’s MS4 Permit. This includes:
+ Performing field inspections to ensure compliance with the MS4 permit + Permitting Best Management Practice (BMP) compliance for private storm water quality filtration devices + Compiling and filing all relevant documentation related to all permits, including required annual reports to the State Development of Storm Water Quality Implementation Plan Docusign Envelope ID: 80F3FF2E-2C91-4082-AB43-8112E1AA333B Interwest S tatement of Qualifications

Assistance in the development of relevant policies . Many changes are taking place in transportation engineering that cities need to be prepared for. They include SB 743 regarding changes to how traffic studies are prepared for CEQA, including the use of vehicle mile traveled (VMT) instead of intersection or street segment level of service (LOS) to determine a proposed project’s significant impact. The state is currently finalizing the regulations. Cities need to develop their own policies and fee programs i n response to these new regulations to protect their interests. Autonomous (self -driving) cars are already being tested. Their potential impacts are unknown. They could increase the number of trips but reduce the needed parking. The transportation engineering profession, as well as our own traffic engineers, is tracking their development.

Preparation of grant applications for funding from Federal, State, and regional agencies for traffic safety studies and improvements.

21 City Planning Services
Interwest planners have substantial experience at all levels —assistant, associate, senior, principal, and director —providing review and analysis services for developments of all types, from simple use permits to complex and controversial development proposals. Our staff is familiar with the entire process, from project intake and project review to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis and the preparation of effective and informative staff reports and presentations. Our staff has extensive experience in processing current planning projects with very short timeframe. One of these projects is for the development of Costco for the City of Eastvale, which Costco informed the City of Eastvale th at the review process was the fastest ever for a Costco store, exceeding their expectations.

Our staff also has extensive experience in the field of advanced planning, having prepared General Plans, Specific Plans, Zoning Codes, and other documents for cities and counties throughout California and the Western US. We have the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities while maintaining quality, meeting schedules and staying within budget. We believe our commitment to public agencies and our extensive experience make us uniquely qualified.

Detailed Planning Services to our public agency clients typically include analyzing projects for compliance with the jurisdiction’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Map Act, Design Review criteria, and other applicable plans and policies. Working closely with agency staff, we will review all projects within any applicable processing deadlines (such as the Permit Streamlining Act).

Our work on projects will include:
+ Visiting project sites to familiarize ourselves with the site and vicinity. We will take photographs, video (and, if desired, aerial photos and videos) for use in staff reports and presentations. + Meeting with developers/applicants, engineers, property owners, contractors and other individuals to discuss, advise, explain procedures and suggest improvements regarding projects, pre -applications, development applications, feasibility analyses, conceptual development plans and code interpretations.

Docusign Envelope ID: 80F3FF2E-2C91-4082-AB43-8112E1AA333B Interwest S tatement of Qualifications
Interwest Consulting Group
22 + Coordinating with City staff in Planning and other departments to collect information and comments and to discuss project issues.
+ Compiling and analyzing data on economic, social, environmental, and physical factors affecting land use, and consider whether long -range planning initiatives underway may impact development applications. + Writing staff reports to the Planning Commission and City Council, including all accompanying resolutions, ordinances, and conditions of approval,
+ Preparing PowerPoint presentations and giving oral presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council.
+ Attending public hearings and community meetings as necessary. + Coordinating with on- call consultants for CEQA compliance. + Coordinating implementation of development applications during the construction phase to ensure compliance with approval conditions and mitigation measures. + Following project approval, performing field checks of projects during construction (to verify compliance with mitigation measures, project plans, and conditions of approval), reporting the results of this work in written and oral forms.
+ Answering by telephone or email inquiries regarding development applications. We strive to respond to all emails and phone calls the same business day, and maintain constant availability via cell phone and mobile devices.
+ Facilitate special projects or assist staff with long -range planning initiatives.

As we do in all of our assignments, we will develop and maintain good working relationships with Planning Department staff, other City departments and divisions, other jurisdictions, and the public. When required, we will be present at City Hall to meet with staff, applicants, etc. regarding project status and updates.

We offer the following additional services:

CODE ENFORCEMENT : As directed, work with the Client’s Code Enforcement Officer to interpret planning -related codes, help prepare updated code enforcement regulations, etc.

23 Grant Planning and Administration
Interwest’s grant writing team has secured millions of dollars from state and federal programs including Safe Routes to School Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program, Transportation Enhancement Activities, Highway Safety Improvement Program, and Commu nity Development Block Grants. Interwest can gauge and identify the important elements within a grant and work with the local agency to craft, customize, and ultimately to compete with great success.

Our team is experienced with advocacy of projects to reg ional, state, federal/congressional representatives.

GRANT MANAGEMENT: The Interwest team has a proven track record of getting grants. Our Transportation Programming and Grant Writing team has experience working directly with staff from Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, California Department of Transportation, California Transportation Commission, Councils of Governments, and state and congressional representatives.

GRANT RESEARCH AND WRITING : Our team is committed to exploring available grant opportunities and will continue to develop competitive applications to secure critical financial support for the client’s projects. Grant writing will be part of a strategy to implement client priorities as identified in the client’s Program. Our success is due to our team’s expertise in preparing concise, yet comprehensive grants that strategically link strong project descriptions and project merits to the key elements of the gr ant.

GRANT COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING : Our staff will take responsibility for oversight of the project throughout its duration. We will adhere to grant agreements and reporting requirements. In this way, we ensure the client meets the grant program performance measures, so no funding reimbursements are in jeopardy. Interwest will see that objectives are met within the specified time, the costs incurred are within budget, and all activities are reimbursable costs .

GRANT REIMBURSEMENT AND CLOSE- OUT: Interwest’s approach is particularly exhaustive because our grant management administration does not stop at notice of award . We do not view the job as complete until the project is delivered and reimbursement is received. We monitor compliance throughout the project life, including appropriate invoicing and regular checking on grant procedural requirements so as not to jeopardize eligibility. The complex network of federal rules and regulations requires nothing short of d iligent and exhaustive follow up. We will take a proactive approach to ensure the appropriate steps are taken before problems arise. We will take the lead or assist in federal submittals to Caltrans Local Assistance or process paperwork to secure “allocation votes” from the California Transportation Commission. We have direct experience in participation of random federal audits on federally funded projects and have r eceived positive audit reviews.

24 Real Estate Services
Our Real Estate team provides full service municipal real estate consultation and turn -key right -of- way services inclusive of project management, acquisition, appraisal, appraisal review, relocation assistance, property management, escrow and title coordin ation, and condemnation support. We serve our clients from early project planning to full possession of properties for project construction. Our real estate team skillfully performs all right -of-way functions and they are experts at navigating through the legal and regulatory requirements necessary to acquire land and right -of way for public projects for city, county and state agencies.

REAL ESTATE PROJECT MANAGEMENT : Real Estate Project Management is essential to ensure that right of way activities are being conducted on schedule and within budget. We take a very hands -on approach paying close attention to any potential issues that could cause a delay or affect the budget. That means we pay attention to the details early on to ensure we are always in front of the issues. The Project Manager maintains excellent communication and works closely with our client and the project team throughout the life of the project. She ensures that the schedule is maintained, makes certain that right -of-way activities comply with applicable state and/or federal laws and regulations, ensures that any revisions to the right -of-way or schedule are promptly communicated to the team and appropriately implemented, and assists in resolving potential issues that may arise during the right of way process.

PROJECT INITIATION, PLANNING & COORDINATION : Every project is unique with its own set of challenges.

Interwest understands this and will design a plan to achieve successful right of way delivery. Drawing on our knowledge gained from a diverse range of project experience, we will perform comprehensive pre-planning, review of project plans and design and select the best subconsultants to match project needs. We can prepare right-of-way estimates that conform to the requirements described in the Caltrans Manual Chapter 4. This is the opportunity to develop acquisition documents in conjunction with the agency and analyze each title report to anticipate any complexities in order to address and resolve them early. We look for ways to streamline the right of way pr ocess to ensure we meet tight project schedules and budgets.

APPRAISAL MANAGEMENT : Integrity is essential in promoting public perception and confidence in the project.

By contracting with sub -consultants to provide appraisal services, there is a separation between the appraisal and acquisition functions. This helps to eliminate any perceived conflicts of interest. This also allows Interwest to choose the most capable appraisers based on the specific dynamics of each project. Instead of stretching to complete an appraisal without adequate experience, the best team is fielded for every project. Interwest has an extensive list of appraisers it has teamed up with on prior projects to be able to accomplish this, whether the Docusign Envelope ID: 80F3FF2E-2C91-4082-AB43-8112E1AA333B Interwest S tatement of Qualifications

25 acquisition is a temporary right to enter a property or a complex commercial valuation involving severance damages and goodwill. Interwest will take the lead in developing an appropriate scope of work for the appraisal assignment, manage sub -consultant contracts and provide oversight to ensure schedules are maintained and the project scope is accurately evaluated in the appraisal.

ACQUISITION | NEGOTIATION: How a team deals with the property owner is critical to the success and outcome of any project. Our approach is to establish a rapport early in the process with open and good communication, thus building trust with the property owner. We develop this relat ionship through early in -person meetings with the property owner to discuss all activities that will occur. We also carefully review the appraisal, offer documents, note any concerns or questions from the property owner and seek to resolve any issues between the agency and the owner. Our goal is to educate and assist the owner so they not only understand the process, but also have confidence in us and the agency we represent.

Every effort will be made to timely reach a negotiated settlement by contract and facilitate the execution of the documents and coordinate escrow activities. In the event an agreement regarding just compensation cannot be reached in a timely manner, we oft en are successful in obtaining Possession and Use Agreements, which will allow the Project to proceed on schedule and provide additional time for the parties to negotiate. While condemnation cannot always be completely avoided, our acquisition agents will take an active role in conducting themselves in the most ethical and competent manner in our "good faith" negotiations with each and every property owner.

PROJECT CERTIFICATION: Our staff has extensive knowledge of the project certification process. We have developed successful relationships with Caltrans Local Assistance agents on the district level to deliver right of way and obtain the appropriate level of Certification, when needed. Two of our team members were previously employed by Caltrans and thus have an excellent knowledge of Caltrans guidelines and thus the ability to ensure that projects meet Caltrans requirements. Our team involves Caltrans early on in the project and keeps them informed each step of the way, thereby allowing construction contract to be advertised, bid and awarded in a timely manner.

TITLE AND ESCROW SERVICES : The title and escrow process has become more complex in recent years due to the higher level of scrutiny by lenders. Our staff is intimately familiar and able to navigate through the extra steps needed to negotiate with lenders under these circumstances. Our agents will work with the property owners and the title company throughout the entire closing process to prepare escrow instructions, obtain notary verifications, obtain subordination agreements, obtain reconveyances and help facilitate a prompt closing of escrow.

CONDEMNATION SERVICES : Our staff has first -hand knowledge of the condemnation process. Working with property owners toward a successful negotiation involves maintaining open and honest communications. When the property owner is treated fairly and honestly throughout the entire l and acquisition process, negotiated settlements can usually be obtained without the need to resort to condemnation. However, using the condemnation process is sometimes necessary for the benefit of the project —ensuring project delive ry schedule and/or funding are not compromised. When needed, our agents will coordinate with legal counsel as necessary to document negotiations with the property owner and to provide any additional information required.

We handle everything from hardware installations and strategic plans to large software applications. We have experience in IT project planning and enjoy working with customers to analyze their IT needs and create solutions that are a good fit for their org anization. We believe that IT should work with you and that each organization has its own unique needs and challenges. We are creative thinkers who partner with your staff to create a long-term relationship that you can rely on.
