Deliverables: Draft and Final Safety Study Reports,
Proposed Safety Improvement Plans.
Task 4 | Other Services and Extension of Staff
The EXP team will provide support to the City by acting as City’s Traffic Engineer for the City’s various needs.
EXP expects that the City’s needs including but not
limited to attending various City meetings, reviewing/
developing future transportation plans, coordinating
with City staff and City’s consultants/contractors, and attending public meetings. The EXP team will conduct
vehicle, bicyclist, and pedestrian counts as needed. The EXP team will utilize the state-of-the-art video camera data collection equipment for traffic data collection.
The data will be reviewed and verified for use based on our traffic engineering experience. The collected data
will be summarized for the peak hours and/or daily with vehicle classifications. The EXP team has experience
in performing various studies including travel time,
travel speed, spot speed, origin-destination, pedestrian movement patterns, parking, transit boarding/alighting
data, that are critical for any traffic analysis. EXP will prepare various technical reports related to Traffic
Engineering. The reports will be written in official
formats to submit to public and councils. The EXP staff will attend public meetings and prepare the presentation materials such as maps, schedules, plan drawings and/
or traffic simulations. EXP will also assist the City in preparing a grant and funding application. The EXP
team is well versed in preparing these applications
based on our extensive experience working with other
agencies. EXP will coordinate with the City’s traffic signal maintenance consultant for implementing the signal
timing adjustments as well as the City’s maintenance
crews for signs, pavement marking, and street lighting
for improvements and replacements. The EXP team has
expertise in developing Transportation Management
Plan (TMP) for major highway construction. We can also
prepare different levels of TMPs from small to large-
scale special events.
Deliverables: Various City Support Tasks, Traffic Data
Collection, Technical Reports, Public Meeting Materials, Transportation Management Plans.
also prepare the traffic signal synchronization plans
including base signal phase/timing, splits under
synchronization, cycle lengths, offsets, time of day
(TOD) schedule. EXP will then evaluate travel time,
delay and/or speed along the corridor before and
after the synchronization plan implementation for the
measure of effectiveness. The EXP team can currently
develop traffic simulation models in SimTraffic, VISSIM, and CORSIM. Our team normally uses SimTraffic for
simple traffic simulations with regular intersection
and corridor geometrics. Meanwhile, VISSIM will be
used to evaluate controls at unique intersections and
closely separated intersections that could not be
well-modeled in SimTraffic. EXP will develop design
alternatives for roadway reconfiguration based on the
traffic analysis results. EXP can develop the alternative models in the traffic software and draw the concept
plans with the preliminary-level cost estimates for
the alternatives. EXP can also perform various traffic
studies such as traffic demand/capacity analysis,
corridor operation studies, traffic delay studies, origin- destination studies, pedestrian studies, travel time
studies, signal warrant studies, muti-stop warrant
studies, spot speed studies, sight distance studies,
traffic calming studies, etc.
Deliverables: Various Traffic Studies and Reports (Draft and Final Versions), Traffic Signal Synchronization Plans, Alternative Concept Plans, Review Comments.
Task 3 | Traffic Safety
The EXP team will prepare various safety studies
based on documented crash history including
recommendations for potential improvements.
Statistical analysis will be conducted to identify specific crash patterns including crash types, frequencies, main causes, pavement conditions, lighting conditions, hours, day/time. The team will calculate the crash rates and
fatality rates for the specific highway segments and/
or intersections. If there are any specific locations with high crash rate, the team will investigate and evaluate the existing traffic control devices at such locations.
The EXP team will also draw the crash diagrams at
the intersections and/or highway segments. After
identifying the crash patterns, the EXP team will
develop countermeasure alternatives for the safety
improvements with associated cost estimates. Our
team will then utilize the Highway Safety Manual (HSM)
for estimating cost-benefit ratios of alternatives and
identifying the most cost-effective countermeasure.
The team will develop alternative options and
recommendations in the safety study reports. The EXP

FIRM’S APPROACH
C
tsk | 5Professional Services for Architecture Design Services for City Hall Building C Renovation Our project approach, both in design and project management is founded upon collaboration and communication.
WE WORK BY LISTENING
We kick off the project by working to learn the goals, desires, and needs of all the decision- makers, influencers, and stakeholders to identify what features, attributes, and building identities will define success for Building C renovation and the over flow police department personnel that will occupy it.
WE WORK TO BUILD TRUST
Trust is crucial for the success of the project. By actively listening, responding to, and working with all stakeholders, we work to build trust with city staff, officials, community, agencies, and all stakeholders. Every perspective has value, so we work with all parties to build their investment in the project and desire to work together to see it succeed. At TSK, we adopt your goals for the project, we do not impose preconceived ideas or notions about what the project should be.
WE WORK BY STAYING IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION
In order to communicate successfully, we have built into our schedule a kickoff meeting at every major stage and a check in presentation at every important decision in the process of developing the project. In addition to these project design meetings, we have scheduled coordination meetings with the project team bi-weekly through the entire course of the project. We are also happy to participate in any additional meetings that are helpful to communicate and collaborate with the city staff, officials, other jurisdictional stakeholders, and the public in order to create a better project for the city.
WE WORK BY MANAGING COST AT EVERY STAGE
We want to make sure that we are designing to the reality of the budget and so we work diligently to manage cost at every stage of the project from conception to completion. We, therefore, work closely with our cost estimator to evaluate different materials and systems, so that we can best understand how they will affect the cost. By doing this we are able to avoid budget overruns that require significant value engineering to bring the project back into budget.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
During this phase, TSK will do an analysis of city hall to best understand their function, their operations, and the respective interaction, relationship, adjacency, priorities, and potential of join use facilities as relate to the project. We will produce a narrative identifying the takeaways from this assessment.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
In schematic design, we begin by confirming the goals and desires of all project participants and stakeholders and use this information to guide the project development. We verify the building dimensions and produce plan layouts of the renovation for the review and selection of the city.
The chosen layout is then given a preliminary code check to make sure there are no problematic issues. These documents are combined into a schematic package for the city’s review.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
During design development, the design produced in schematic design is further developed and documented. Demolition plans, reflected ceiling plans, casework elevations and schedules are developed. Our engineering team will work with TSK and the city to produce overall system design for the renovated spaces and begin coordinating these systems with the architectural design. An in-depth code analysis is created to confirm applicable codes are fully met. TSK will work with the city to select the interior finishes for the project and create a materials board for the project. At the end of Design Development, we produce a cost estimate to confirm the project is on budget and on track, and then give the city a package to review before moving to the next phase.

tsk | 6Professional Services for Architecture Design Services for City Hall Building C Renovation
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
This phase takes the design documents created in the schematic design and design development phases and creates the drawings necessary for both a building permit, and to construct the building. These include schedules, construction details, specifications, as well as other drawings and information required for permit and construction, fully coordinated with each discipline. A new cost estimate is produced to confirm the project is on budget before going to permitting.
The drawings, specs, and cost estimate are given to the city to review. The design team then processes the construction documents with the various regulatory agencies, including the building department and any other agencies necessary for the appropriate permits needed to complete the project.
BIDDING AND NEGOTIATIONS
This phase is the process of getting contractor bids and selecting the contractor. TSK will provide the bid forms, drawings and specifications that will be bid on. A pre-bid meeting typically takes place to describe the bidding process. Requests for Information (RFI’s) are also answered by the architect to the bidding contractors to clarify any additional information needed. TSK will help the client review the bids and make sure they are making “apples to apples” comparisons, and assist in making the final contractor selection.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
During this phase, the architect will provide a number of different services, with the overall intent of making sure the building is being constructed per the drawings and specifications. TSK will review contractor shop drawings, submittals, answer RFI’s, review contractor pay applications and any change orders, as well as provide a punch list at the end of the project for the contractor to address any unresolved or unfinished items. TSK will also provide regular site visits and progress meetings to monitor overall project progress.
PROJECT CLOSEOUT
During this phase, the architect will provide a record set of drawings to the client and ensure the proper operations and maintenance manuals have been provided by the contractor. There is also a walk and survey of the building 11 months after completion to check overall systems prior to a one year warranty expiration.
QA/QC
TSK Architects has developed a comprehensive quality assurance plan that enables our team to meet the functional, aesthetic and financial objectives of our client`s projects.
The high quality of our work is an essential foundation of our reputation and our quality assurance processes are formalized through the following set of guiding principles:
• An appropriate level of team experience and capability is critical to achieve quality; • Responsibility for design quality must reside with all team members. The team approach— team communication, regular meetings and reviews by the team and their office-wide peer group encourages a design culture that promotes quality and raises the level of expectation and awareness.
• Project management holds ultimate responsibility. Project architects are responsible for ensuring quality reviews occur and that quality is built in to the project schedule and design process;
• The quality enhancement process should include ongoing participation, as well as formal reviews by the team and independent peer group after completing a phase and before project issuance;
• Communication among all is critical to achieve quality; • Proper project scheduling is important to achieve quality. The project schedule should include adequate time for quality reviews.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Technical Capabilities
TSK maintains the technical capabilities to explore all methods of design, from the innovative to the traditional.
Our design studio is one of the most advanced in the
region, utilizing the latest drafting, scheduling, project management, and multimedia visualization software
available. In addition to our computer modeling
capabilities, we have an in-house model shop complete
with laser cutter to support our extensive use of study models throughout the design process.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
TSK Architects has developed a comprehensive quality assurance plan that enables our team to meet the functional, aesthetic and financial objectives of our client’s projects. If selected for any prospective projects, our work with DGS would undergo our full quality assurance plan.
The high quality of our work is an essential foundation of our reputation and our quality assurance processes are formalized through the following set of guiding principles:
TEAM EXPERIENCE & CAPABILITY
An appropriate level of team experience and capability is critical to achieve quality.
RESPONSIBILITY DISTRIBUTION
Responsibility for design quality must reside with all team members. The team approach - team communication, regular meetings and reviews by the team and their office-wide peer group - encourages a design culture that promotes quality and raises the level of expectation and awareness.
TARGETED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management holds ultimate responsibility. Project Architects and Project Managers are responsbile for ensuring quality reviews occur and that quality is built in to the project schedule and design process through every phase from the beginning to the end of a project.
QUALITY ENHANCEMENT
The quality enhancement process includes ongoing participation (exchange of expertise and specifications), as well as formal reviews by the team and independent peer group after completing a phase and before project issuance.
DETAIL-ORIENTED PROJECT SCHEDULING
Proper project scheduling is important to achieve quality. A proper schedule means a schedule carefully studied and understood in terms of the client’s needs and the construction requirements.
The project schedule should include adequate time for quality reviews as well.
tsk | 24Professional Services for Architecture Design Services for City Hall Building C Renovation We have designed with BIM for more than ten years and we require the same capabilities of our consultants. This tool helps to identify design conflicts, reduce design errors and omissions and inform a project owner of critical design features throughout the project. BIM is also useful in comparing the architectural, structural and associated MEP drawings to highlight any potential conflicts or clashes in the drawings, allowing us the time to develop the design completely.
TSK’s capabilities for coordination through BIM and model management are considerable. Our demonstrated experience with BIM technology will allow end users to witness their design ideas take shape in a 3D model environment and affords the opportunity to incorporate stakeholder comments into the design in a real-time fashion. We use BIM to provide visualization, sequencing and design coordination, as well as part of our quality control process to reduce the potential for costly delays during construction.
In addition, we have found BIM useful in assisting the contractor with matters regarding safety considerations, material handling and site logistics. TSK uses both basic tools and advanced technology to ensure quality throughout the design process. Furthermore, we offer the capacity to produce a wide-range of rendering and modeling images including 3-D printing in our own design studios.
Team Collaboration
Teamwork is the joint action of people working toward the same end goal. That is how we look at our collaboration with any of the sub consultants we work with. They are as much a part of our team as the people working at TSK. The process of gathering the team begins well before the project begins, during proposal and qualification stage. We gather the best people possible for the specific tasks involved in the project. We also select sub-consultants based on our past history with them. Some of our relationships go back decades.
The success of any project can be traced back to true team integration. We bring all key team members to the table at the beginning of the project so that no building system, element or component is designed in a vacuum, and also to ensure that all elements of the project work to support each other, the pedagogic and functional facility objectives.
We employ a Workshop based planning and design process to solicit input from each project stakeholder. This approach provides insights into the occasionally differing priorities and objectives for the project, allowing our team to formulate and test design solutions that respond to the project requirements and user
goals within the framework of the
established budget.
The Project Manager serves as the
single point of contact between
our sub-consultants and the TSK
design team throughout the life of
the project. The Project Manager will
work with sub-consultants to develop
a Master Project Schedule that will
map out the delivery of service and
each major project milestone and
deliverable.

“This was my first time working with the Architect/Engineer firm, TSK, and I was extremely impressed with the impeccable quality of their technical work; collaborative abilities with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), federal client agencies [U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-Office of the Principal Advisor (OPLA)], third-party contractors (FFE and Hazmat); and their problem-solving capabilities.” - Hadi El-Abiad, Project Manager, Design + Construction, U.S.

“Their design leaders and staff are great people to work with. TSK has always provided quality personnel who are very knowledgeable in the practice of architecture, talented designers of courthouses, and with a work ethic that embraces challenges, promotes accountability, and shows respect for our needs, ideas, and concerns. We highly recommend TSK for anyone needing highly capable courthouse designers. They have set the bar high for quality of service.” Kenneth Ballard, Design & Construction Administrator, Real Property Management “Tate Snyder Kimsey. Professional and creative, the experts they have assembled know how to build a courthouse. We dealt in the program phase with two former court executive officers Dan Wiley and Chick Short, who met with all of the Court stakeholders to evaluation the local court’s needs and ensure that they were incorporated in the facility’s space program. I also want to draw attention to the firm members who have been present at every design meeting, and who have been extremely receptive to the ideas and concerns of our Courts; Windom Kimsey, Robert Boyle, Kevin Quan, and Jarod Allen. I believe that this architectural firm will be a real asset to the State of California for future Courthouse projects.” Honorable Steven J. Howell, Presiding Judge, Superior Court of California
“In many of the projects that they have done for the State, TSK has demonstrated the skill and knowledge to develop office work environments that are cost effective as well as uplifting to be in. TSK demonstrated a deftness working with the contractor to maintain the State’s design expectations and project budget and schedule.” Chris Chimits, R.A., SPWD Deputy Administrator, DMV East Sahara
“We are delighted to have a high caliber firm working with us to inspire the design of our region’s first public medical school. This is an important milestone in the school’s development and puts us another step closer to our goal of creating a world-class center for medical education.” Barbara Atkinson, Founding Dean, UNLV School of Medicine
“TSK Served as a trusted advisor. Everyone we have worked with at TSK has proven to be good listeners to owner and stakeholder needs and concerns, they have come up with creative cost- effective options for a wide variety of design challenges and were very timely in addressing questions/clarifications during constructions.” Theresa Saumier, Manager, Facility Services LCDO, Bureau of Reclamation

October 21, 2022
Effective date: Any new or increased tax or fee adopted by the Legislature, a city council, or the local voters after January 1, 2022, must comply with the Act’s new rules.
State taxes
• All new and increases in state taxes will require majority voter approval. • Prohibits property tax “surcharge” (increase). Prohibits allocation of property tax to the state.
Local taxes
• New requirements for voter approval
o when applied to territory is annexed.
o when existing tax is applied to a new service or product, for example utility user tax (UUT) to new service.
• New or increased taxes adopted after January 1, 2022, must include a sunset date.
Fees and charges
• State and cities have burden of proving by “clear and convincing evidence” that a fee/charge is not a tax; that the amount is reasonable; and that it does not exceed “actual cost.”
• Elimination of the “specific benefit conferred” or “privilege granted” exception makes it more likely that franchise fees will be considered taxes.
The state and cities issue franchises to oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations. • Fees and charges for services and permits may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” Examples include planning services, excavation and encroachment permits, preparation of candidate statement, and permit parking.
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.
2 Fines and penalties [administrative enforcement of state law and municipal codes]
• Requires voter approval of fines and penalties for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties. Examples include nuisance abatement, organic waste reduction requirements, and failure to maintain a vacant property.
Voters
• Local advisory measures are prohibited. No measure may appear on the ballot asking for approval for a general tax that would indicate that the revenue from the general tax will, could, or should be used for a specific purpose.
• Overturns Upland decision so taxes proposed by initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. • Voters may not amend a City Charter to impose, extend, or increase a tax or fee.
