B. Understanding of the Scope of Services
B.1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Public Works Department of the City of Anaheim desires to contract with multiple technical professional firms across a broad spectrum of specialties to establish a qualified and experienced team of technical Consultants to support the Construction Services Division’s (CSD) efforts in all facets of construction inspection.
Projects requiring support services may include, but are not limited to:
• street rehabilitations,
• sewer, water, and storm facility improvements,
• traffic signals,
• above- and below-ground electrical facility improvements, • public park improvements,
• facility and system maintenance, and
• general City capital improvement projects
• or private developer-type projects.
Individual project staffing will be comprised of a combination of City and Consultant staff, depending on the specific support requirements of the project.
It is the City’s intent to have multiple consulting firms under contract to provide competent and experienced personnel to support the successful delivery of capital improvement projects on an “As-Needed,” “On-Call,” or “Short Notice” basis; and to work under the general supervision of the Construction Services Division or other Department representative.
On some occasions, time permitting, the Consultants will be required to compete via lump sum fee submittal for a specific assignment. The Consultant shall be responsible for providing fully qualified and experienced staff to efficiently perform the services and support the needs of the CSD in each of the areas identified in Consultant’s qualification and proposal submittal package as described in this solicitation document.
In addition, a substantial portion of assignments under this On-Call agreement will consist of covered “Project Work” as defined in the City’s Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Local Unions.
Building/Construction Inspectors (Inspectors) hired in support of Projects identified as covered “Project Work” are a covered craft under this Agreement and must comply with the CWA when applicable. The CWA is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that es tablishes labor relations procedures. The CWA is hereby incorporated into this RFP and any subsequent consulting agreement.
Qualifications and experience in any of the following sub-disciplines will serve to support the current needs of the CSD:
• Construction Management
• Construction Inspection
• Building Inspection
A summary of support services to be provided by the Consultant is as follows:
Construction Management support duties shall include but not be limited to:
• construction inspection tasks such as review of construction plans and specifications; • develop a preliminary, logical and efficient sequencing of the work to meet the City’s milestones; • maintain/perform project related administrative requirements (e.g. working day statements, daily
CONSULTING INSPECTION SERVICES
Proposal 5
reports, permits, daily traffic control plans, coordination and review of other 3rd parties, emergency contact names and phone numbers, stormwater inspections, etc.).
A FIRM IS NOT REQUIRED TO OFFER SUPPORT SERVICES IN ALL SUB -DISCIPLINES LISTED. CONTRACTS WILL BE
OFFERED TO QUALIFIED CONSULTING FIRMS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE AREAS OR SUB-DISCIPLINES WITHIN WHICH IT IS DEEMED COMPETENT, EXPERIENCED AND COMPETITIVE. PROPOSALS SHOULD CLEARLY INDICATE WHICH SERVICES ARE BEING OFFERED.
FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
Funding for projects may have a mix of Federal, State, and Local funds. Therefore, Consultant may be responsible for complying with all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements / procurements as applicable, including but not limited to compliance with prevailing wages, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) and forms / manuals / standards in order to complete the project on schedule and within budget. Other Federal, State, and Local requirements may also include compliance with technical and contract standards and manuals from FHWA, Caltrans, OCTA, and City of Anaheim.
Comply with anticipated Annual DBE Participation Level for current and succeeding DBE program years.
COMMUNITY WORK FORCE AGREEMENT
Building/Construction Inspectors hired in support of projects will need to be a covered craft under the CWA.

B.3. PROJECT APPROACH
Structured Approach:
We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable of providing the city with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies, including written manuals on quality cont rol, project management, and design procedures for its staff and for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements.
The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of
CONSULTING INSPECTION SERVICES
Proposal 9
the specific contract for the specific project.
• Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires extensive hands- on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget.
• Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner. • Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work wi th the contractor to develop recovery plans.
• Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies, weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as well as pdf files. • Safety and Security
: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements, OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities. • Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report. • Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress : Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. • Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project participants a common project information and file sharing platform.
Project Delivery, Planning and Execution:
Project delivery, on time and on budget, may involve the process steps listed below:
• Active involvement early in the project and a thorough understanding of the agency’s goals and objectives. • Management of scope and quality (i.e., is the available budget and the desired scope consistent and feasible?). • Identify deliverables, phasing, and overall project schedule. (This specifically includes project closeout procedures.
Never wait until the last minute to define expectations for project completion.) • Creation of a basic work breakdown structure. (This is also the time to consider potential alternatives.) • Identification of the critical activities and the required path from beginning to successful completion. • Assembly of necessary and effective team members.
• Identify the owner of the project and the project point of contact. • Identification of critical stakeholders and definition of their respective roles. • Establish the total project budget and the total project schedule. • Identification of milestone events required to evaluate and/or verify project performance. • Identify, assesses likelihood, mitigate, and assign potential risks. • Define quality control procedures, including code required special inspection and testing. • Define quality assurance procedures, including review and acceptance of special inspection reports and testing results.
• Monitor costs against the established budget and guard against unfunded scope creep. • Monitor actual progress against the established project schedule.
CIP Management:
Transtech manages Capital Project Program and maintains CIP Matrix and Schedule for various contract Cities. The CIP Matrix includes a detailed tracking info for each CIP, as well as a high -level project schedule status in bar chart format for various project phases. The CIP Matrix is updated frequently, and project status is presented to City Management at management meetings, as well as to City Council when directed by the City Management.
Project Controls:
Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk
CONSULTING INSPECTION SERVICES
Proposal 10
ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.
Transtech’s In-house project control procedures and system:
Project Control Procedures and System, which follows guidelines similar to what is described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Following is the link to Transtech’s Project Control Procedures and System:

CONSULTING INSPECTION SERVICES
Proposal 11
Due Diligence Activities and Measures:
Following are description of the due diligence activities and measures that maybe considered to avoid/minimize the occurrence/impacts of unforeseen conditions:
• In our view, due diligence is related to, but distinctly different from quality control and/or quality assurance. Due diligence, in this context, is the care and effort during all project phases, from project planning, design thru construction.
• Effective project controls part of the diligence activities, and lead to developing efficient measures and resolutions, and play an important role to keep complex projects on track. They help teams and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before t hey become expensive, time- consuming problems. With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give the project team the data they need to set realistic expectations, and plan and manage the project with efficiently. • Also, when an unforeseen condition occurs, it is important to quickly assess the potential impact of such condition on the schedule and project’s critical path, and deal with the issue accordingly. For example, an unforeseen condition
CONSULTING INSPECTION SERVICES
Proposal 12
that may lead to potential delay and delay claims (in addition to direct construction work cost related to the condition), would have high priority, and may require to proceed with the work under specific monitoring of this specific work separately, while the facts and responsibilities are sorted out, and an appropriate change order is finalized.
• Identifying potential construction risks prior to the start of construction can lead to success. During preconstruction, review of construction and contract documents in an effort to identify risks or concerns prior to the start of construction, will minimize the potential of unforeseen conditions.
Quality Assurance Program:
We believe that quality control is the setting of minimum standards and/or quality requirements for the specific project. Quality assurance is the means by which the quality control measures will be monitored and/or enforced. We also believe that quality control and quality assurance measures need to be developed jointly with the client. To effectively establish quality control measures, we must understand the Agency’s specific expectations and/or level of desired quality for the specific project. Once the expectations have been defined, and the quality control measures established, the quality assurance measures can be established. A significant part of establishing the quality assurance measures includes the timing of the measure. QC/QA can only be effective when the measures are applied and/or evaluated in a timely manner. During construction, an effective Quality Assurance Program will ensure the materials and workmanship incorporated into project conform to the requirements of the contract plans and specifications including approved changes.
Value Engineering:
Depending on a project’s size, complexity and the owner’s requirements, Value Engineering may also be considered. The Value Engineering may consist of a systematic process of review and analysis of the project during the concept and design phases, by a mu lti-disciplined team of persons not involved in the project, may include recommendations such as:
To improve the value and quality of the project; To provide the needed functions safely, reliably, and at the lowest overall cost; To reduce the time to complete the project; To combine or eliminate otherwise inefficient use of costly parts of the original proposed design for the project.
Managing, Negotiating, And Incorporating Changes in Project Scope:
Our approach and strategy are structured based on minimizing cost and schedule impacts, while evaluating change orders in a timely, fair and equitable manner.
• A number of different factors can influence the development of Change Orders on projects, which can result from either foreseen or unforeseen conditions and may include: Design Modifications; Errors and Omissions; Changed Conditions; Additional/Reduced Wo rk Scope; Owner -Directed Schedule Acceleration or Slowdown; Work Sequencing; Adjustments to Unit Pricing; Force Majeure Delays; Added Cost Incentives; Delayed, Denied, or Restricted Access to a Project Site; Inappropriate Rejection of the Contractor’s Work ; Delays to Owner -Supplied Services and Materials.
• Our initial evaluation of a change order request incudes various elements: Is it already covered in the contract? Is it necessary to complete the work? Impact on the planned work? Will it affect or change the contractor’s planned method of performing the work? Will it cause a work-character change? Impact on the contract time? Methods of payment? Are there sufficient contingency funds? If not, can additional funds be obtained soon enough to prevent delays? Impacts on any regulatory conditions, permits, utilities, etc. • Change Order Documentation: We prepare the change order in a clear, concise, and explicit manner. A change orders should be easily understood by third parties reviewing it what work was performed without further explanation. • Project Partnering: Based on project’s size and complexity, Project Partnering may also be considered: Partnering is a relationship between the owner and the contractor, formed in order to effectively complete the contract to the benefit of both parties. Through trust, cooperation and teamwork, the goal is to resolve conflicts at the lowest possible level.
Contract Administration (Caltrans LAPM) For Federally Funded Projects (Primarily Transportation/Infrastructure Projects):
For construction contract administration, we follow guidelines similar to described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).
