RECITALS
A. Consultant is specially trained, experienced and competent to perform the special services which will be required by this Agreement; and
B. Consultant possesses the skill, experience, ability, background, certification and knowledge to provide the services described in this Agreement on the terms and conditions described herein.

AGREEMENT

1. Scope of Services. The Consultant shall furnish the following services in a professional manner. Consultant shall perform the services described on Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Consultant shall provide said services at the time, place, and in the manner specified in Exhibit A, subject to the direction of the City through its staff that it may provide from time to time.

2. Time of Performance. The services of Consultant are to commence upon execution of this Agreement and shall continue until all authorized work is approved by the City. All such work shall be completed no later than December 31, 2025. Time is of the essence for every provision of this agreement that states a time for performance and for every deadline imposed by the City.

3. Compensation. Compensation to be paid to Consultant shall be as set forth in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Payment by City under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of defects, even if such defects were known to the City at the time of payment.

4. Method of Payment. Consultant shall submit monthly billings to City describing the work performed during the preceding month. Consultant's bills shall include a brief description of the services performed, the date the services were performed, the number of hours spent and by whom, and a description of any reimbursable expenditures. City shall pay Consultant no later than 30 days after approval of the monthly invoice by City staff.

5. Ownership of Documents. All plans, studies, documents and other writings prepared by and for Consultant, its officers, employees and agents and subcontractors in the course of implementing this Agreement, except working notes and internal documents, shall become the property of the City upon payment to Consultant for such work, and the City 2 shall have the sole right to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or to any other party. Consultant shall, at Consultant's expense, provide such reports, plans, studies, documents and other writings to City upon written request.
6 Independent Contractor. It is understood that Consultant, in the performance of the work and services agreed to be performed, shall act as and be an independent contractor and shall not act as an agent or employee of the City. Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits which accrue to City's employees, and Consultant hereby expressly waives any claim it may have to any such rights.

7. Interest of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by and during this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and
b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)

8. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant's field of expertise.

9. Indemnity. Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, the City, and its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its agents in the performance of services under this contract. This indemnity does not apply to liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense arising from the sole negligence, 3 willful misconduct or defects in design by the City or its agents, servants, or independent contractors who are directly responsible to the City, or the active negligence of the City.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Consultant shall (1) immediately defend and (2) indemnify the City, and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. The Consultant’s obligation to indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability is caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, then Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability.
(b) The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant’s duty to indemnify. Consultant shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees, immediately upon tender to Consultant of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Consultant are responsible for the claim does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Consultant asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, Consultant may submit a claim to the City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs in proportion to the established comparative liability of the indemnified party. (c) The review, acceptance or approval of the City’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the City’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives completion of the services or the termination of this contract. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this contract relating to insurance.

approved agenda. Finally, Nicklaus will prepare the preconstruction meeting minutes for record and deliver them to the City's Proje
ct Administrator and the Contractor
within 48 hours.

Construction Services:

The On-Site Construction Inspector will begin full-time inspection services as construction begins. The On-Site Construction Inspector will draft inspection reports and take a daily photo catalog of construction activities. The reports and photographs will be communicated to the
Resident Engineer, the Contractor,
and the City. In
addition, the On-Site Construction Inspector will begin coordinating all material testing required for the project as outlined in the contract documents and the approved
QAP. Test results will be part of the daily submittals for contract compliance, which the Resident Engineer
will
review. The On-Site Inspe
ctor will
also ensure the
Contractor promotes job site safety, noting as-built

Each Daily Report will be signed by the Construction
Inspector and initialed by the Resident Engineer after
review.

Our Weekly Reports will include, but not be limited to:
• Project Name, Report Number, and Date
• General Breakdown of Daily Work Activities along
with Weather Conditions
• Tracking of Working Days, Non-Working Days, and
Working Days with No Work on Controlling Activity
• Change Order Time Adjustments
• Tracking of Contract Days

The Resident Engineer will sign each weekly report.

Provide Quality Assurance support.

Nicklaus has an AMRL/CCRL/ USACE-certified materials
testing laboratory at our corporate office in Yuma. Many of our staff are trained to use Nuclear Gauges and carry ACI certifications. We will draw from decades of
experience working with testing and materials inspections to help ensure the project is appropriately tested
following the QAP for both QA and QC testing.

Coordinate construction activity between the
various agencies and the General Contractor.

We understand that construction proj ects can be tricky, and keeping open and constant communication with the
various agencies is essential. Each appropriate agency will be invited to the pre-construction meeting, and a weekly progress meeting will be established. Each agency will
have an open invitation to the weekly progress meetings, and we will send out invites and updates as the project progresses.

Verify quantities with the General Contractor and
complete Quantity Calculation sheets.

Nicklaus has completed many Resident Engineering and
Construction Management projects requiring quantity
calculations to accept payment applications.

Our team will prepare a spreadsheet that includes all the proposal items, units, unit costs, bid set quantities, and bid set costs. Our on-site inspector will update this
spreadsheet daily to include material quantities placed at the job site.

Coordinate construction progress meetings
during construction.

Over the years, we have found that coordinating and
managing weekly progress meetings better serves each

project. Weekly progress meetings will be an essential
part of this project. The weekly progress meetings' day, time, and location
will be established at the preconstruction meeting. In general, the weekly progress meetings will include the following:
• Project Name, Meeting Number, and Date
• Review of Old Business
• Contractor Discussion on Work Activities
• On-Site Inspector Discussion on Work Activities
• Review of Schedule & Discussion of
2-week look
ahead.
• Existing and Proposed Utility Coordination
• Project Safety: Discuss Safety Meetings, Unsafe
Acts, Accidents, Near Misses, and
A
ction Items.
• Review of the Status of RFls
• Review of the Status of Submittals
• Review of the Status of Change Orders
• Review of the Status of Pay Applications
• General Discussion
Provide labor compliance services to ensure
workers employed by the General Contractor
and subcontractors are hired and paid in
compliance with all applicable State and
Federal laws.

Ni
cklaus has tea
med
with Gafcon to provide these
services for this contract. They have provided similar local services on various projects for Nicklaus and others, and we have a trusted relationship with them. We will
coordinate appropriate times for Gafcon to conduct labor interviews, and we will provide them with each daily
report-upon completion of the report. Labor Compliance
will consist of the following:
• Ensure Contractor
Eligibility
• Monitor Certified Payroll Reports
• Conduct On-Site Interviews
• Provide Progress Payment Review Assistance • Identify Violations • Provide Monthly Reporting
• Maintain Labor Compliance
Verify that all erosion control is set up and
maintained throughout the project.

Nicklaus has worked on projects larger and smaller than 1 acre and has staffed QSD and QSPs. Nicklaus is the sole holder of the current NAVFAC SW $100M Stormwater
Contract, ensuring stormwater compliance for facilities within the California, Arizona, and Nevada Areas of
Responsibility for the Navy. Monitoring of the erosion
control by the Contractor
will be included in our daily
reporting.

Provide troubleshooting support to assist in
finding solutions to any issues between the
parties.

It is understood that occasionally, it is necessary to help field engineer problems and coordinate troubleshooting
efforts between multiple parties. The Resident Engineer's role is to clarify the issue and manage a cost-effecti
ve
solution between the Contractor, Engineer of Record, and the Owner. We understand the importance of juggling the schedule impacts and the budget equally. Most recently, we navigated significant troubleshooting efforts for the Cruickshank Road Illegal Disposal Site and
Winterhaven
Public Safety Facility projects, each having issues
requiring stop-work orders. We recently helped Imperial County restart the Niland Main Street Improvements
project, which encountered unforeseen gas line location and Aerially Deposited Lead issues, providing field
engineering support and coordination.

Track and expedite review and approvals of
RFls and change order requests.

Submittals, RFls, and Change Orders will be tracked using spreadsheets and appropriately numbered as received.

Each document will be dated upon receipt, the date sent to the Engineer of Record (if necessary), the date received from the Engineer of Record, and the date returned to the Contractor. As previously discussed,
Nicklaus is prepared
to use Pro
cure to help expedite and streamline the
project.

Review the construction schedule.

Typically, we would receive a construction schedule at the pre-construction meeting to discuss it
with all pertinent
stakeholders. We will review the Contractor's project
schedule before construction mobilization, and we
will
require two-week look-ahead schedules from the
Contractor at each progress meeting so that any
scheduling conflicts can be identified early to avoid
construction delays. In addition, we will track the
controlling activity, ensuring that our weekly reports
identify the Contractor's progress.

Evaluate and present all change order
proposals to the City for review.

Nicklaus will review and validate change orders before
proposals are sent to the City. Over the past few years alone, we have reviewed and processed hundreds of
change orders ranging from no-cost change orders to change orders worth over a million dollars. Each change order will include a detailed description of the change's reason, cause, and breakdown, including any cost or time adjustment. It will
also include a cost and time adjustment
analysis to verify the Contractor's request.

Review submittals.

Nicklaus is prepared to review project submittals or
coordinate with the Engineer of Record as per the City's direction. We will return submittals to the Contractor
promptly to prevent construction delays, and we will
prepare a submittal register for the Contractor to ensure we receive all required submittals on time and in good
order.

Receive and process payment requisitions for
the owner's review.

Nicklaus co
mmonly receives
and pro
vides properly
completed pay
ment applications for the owner's review
and acce
ptance. Typically, each application is provided on
the required form, with the contractor's invoice,
conditional waiver and release form, quantity calculations, and material tickets.

Evaluate all claims and prepare a written
response.

If there is a claim or audit on the project, Nicklaus is prepared to review submitted claims and provide a
detailed written response backed by our daily and weekly reports.

Manage the completion of the punch list.

Nicklaus performs a pre-final walkthrough with the
contractor and client for all CM projects. All deficiencies are noted, and Nicklaus develops a punch list within 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the list. Upon
completing the punch list,
Nicklaus coordinates a final
walkthrough for project closeout.

Coordinate all owner and post-completion
activities.

Ty
pically,
Nicklaus provides
all closeout documentation in
a
binder
and digital form. This includes all pertinent
project information, including those listed above, daily and weekly reports, fully executed payment applications and change orders, all tickets and certifications, materials testing reports, approved submittals, responses to RFl's, directives, and general correspondence.

Sample Project Timeline.

This project's construction phase is estimated to take
60 working days. Our team will begin familiarizing itself with the project plans and specifications two weeks
before our pre-construction meeting. We will also
prepare and conduct weekly progress meetings
throughout the project. Lastly, a project summary report will be delivered to the City approximately three weeks after completion.

Participation.

Nicklaus will ask that the City participate in the preconstruction and weekly progress meetings conducted throughout this project.

Deliverables.

Nicklaus will deliver
all previously mentioned closeout
documentation in a binder and digital form. Daily and
weekly reports and material quantity calculations, test results, and delivery slips will also be promptly delivered to the City's Project Administrator.

Over the years, we have developed an understanding of
managing the construction of various projects. We have
tackled small shoulder backing projects, multi-milliondollar rigid pavement and drainage improvement projects, complex remediation projects, and various
vertical and horizontal construction projects.

We are ready and excited
about this opportunity to
provide these services to
the City of Calexico.

The work includes removal of existing parkway, subgrade, asphalt, and concrete; trimming and/or removal of existing trees; removal of fencing and roadway signs; construction of sidewalk, curb, gutter, drive approaches, and curb ramps; and adjustment of existing utility lids to grade. As with any Capital Improvement Project, the City is seeking professional construction management and inspection services during the construction of the improvements to ensure the safe construction of the project while adhering to all plans, specifications, funding requirements, and City requirements. ERSC is ready and able to provide these services to the City. Our proposal highlights our expertise in the above, our knowledge of local procedures, and the challenges in delivering outstanding service to the City's staff, constituents, and stakeholders.

ERSC's Team Ben Booth, PE, Engineer V - Project Manager/Construction Manager Ben will serve as Project and Construction Manager during the course of the agreement with the City. He has served ERSC and Southern California municipalities directly and indirectly over the past seven years and has been responsible for numerous similar efforts in both capacities.

5TH ST/GREENSPOT RD BIKEWAY IMPROVEMENTS I Project Term: 2013-19 I Contract Value: $143,860
ERSC was retained by the City of Highland to engineering and construction services for the City's widening of 5th Street/Greenspot road and bikeway improvements. As the City completed the new Greenspot Bridge over the Santa Ana River, it was necessary to widen the road and the old iron bridge would be access-restricted to bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Upon completion 5th Street/Greenspot Road would be widened to accommodate 2 travel lanes in each direction with a painted center median and bike lanes. Total length of the widening was approximately 6,000LF.

At Santa Ana Canyon Road, the Bikeway would be taken out of the Greenspot Road alignment and onto a new trail system. This trail would include a fully signed and striped bike/pedestrian trail that followed the previous alignment of Greenspot Road. This trail includes the historic Iron Bridge at Santa Ana Canyon Road. As a part of the project, ERSC designed the trail, signing/striping, and 30 way finding signs/access points along the alignment.

iERSC Project Understanding & Approach
Project Understanding
The City of Calexico is seeking qualified and experienced construction management, geotechnical, and field inspection professionals to provide Construction Management, Geotechnical, and Inspection Services for Sidewalk Improvement Project Federal Project No.

CML-5168(036). ERSC understands that the City requires a detailed, competent construction management and inspection team to successfully deliver a functional and sustainable sidewalk project that improves the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors.

Our goal is to facilitate cost-effective and long-lasting projects in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Construction Management and Inspection are ERSC specialties. If selected, our team will manage and inspect the construction in accordance with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures such that the Project is fully compliant and eligible to secure Fund 412 Federal Grant monies.

The Project consists of sidewalk construction in three locations within the City's jurisdiction, as shown in the figure below. The work includes removal of existing parkway, subgrade, asphalt, and concrete; trimming and/or removal of existing trees; removal of fencing and roadway signs; construction of sidewalk, curb, gutter, drive approaches, and curb ramps; and adjustment of existing utility lids to grade. These three locations are described as follows:

1. Grant Street (between Pierce Avenue and east of Emilia Drive) - Infill sidewalk and reconstruction of drive approaches and curb ramps to provide an accessible pedestrian path of travel within a neighborhood next to Rio Vista Park, Rodriguez Park, Mains Elementary School, and Vincent Memorial High School.

2. Calexico Street (between Alder Avenue and Kloke Avenue) - New curb, gutter, sidewalk, and curb ramp on the south side of Calexico Street. The proposed curb ramp terminates adjacent to a Class I paved pedestrian/bike path entrance at the intersection of Kloke Road and Calexico. It is assumed the City seeks continuity between the Project's accessible sidewalk and this trail entrance.

3. Van de Graaff Avenue (between Cole Boulevard and Calexico 10 Theaters) - Infill sidewalk and reconstruction of deficient curb and gutter and curb ramp to provide a continuous accessible route from the signalized intersection of Cole Blvd and Van de Graaff to the Calexico 10 Theaters.

The project includes two bid schedules: a base bid schedule and an alternate bid schedule. It is assumed the City will proceed with both bid schedules if the awarded bid is within its construction budget. The project duration is expected to be 60 working days.

Inspection Services
ERSC's inspectors will be present during
work on City facilities while providing
a comprehensive approach to our
services. As such, our team also consists
of inspection professionals equally
experienced in the construction of public
infrastructure, paving, grading, traffic
control, transportation, environmental
requirements, safety, and many other
facets required during a complete project.

Project Approach
At ERSC, our approach to construction
management and inspection prioritizes
safeguarding the City's interests while
minimizing the burden on its staff. Acting as
an extension of the City's team, we ensure
that projects adhere strictly to contract
requirements and current standards. Our inspectors are engaged directly in the field, emphasizing thorough inspection
over remote oversight. This hands-on
involvement supports project compliance
and timely issue resolution and promotes
productive collaboration with contractors.

Contract Documents
Solid working knowledge of the project
documents and Caltrans Local Assistance
Procedures guides our inspection team,
ensuring that the project is consistent
with the contract document requirements,
labor compliance, DBE/minority utilization
19 .......... 1cna1, Project Understanding & Approach
goals, Buy America Requirements, and other federal requirements within the designated construction sequence. Our proactive approach dictates addressing potential issues promptly, often before they necessitate formal Requests for Information (RFls), and reviewing all RFls and submittals swiftly to prevent project delays.

Safety
Safety remains paramount, as evidenced by our impeccable safety record. We maintain rigorous standards by enforcing compliance with Injury and Illness Prevention Programs, trench and excavation protections, traffic control guidelines, confined space requirements, and Cal/OSHA regulations. To ensure ongoing transparency, we hold regular reviews with the City, attend all pre-construction and progress meetings, and provide detailed field reports documenting materials, labor, and daily progress. This diligent record-keeping helps ensure accurate payments and minimizes change orders.

In the event that an issue arises outside of ERSC's control, the project is protected. ERSC maintains Professional Liability Coverage for $Smm/$Smm, surpassing the industry standard of $2mm/$1mm.

Schedule
ERSC commits to timely project completion through continuous schedule monitoring and structured updates. The City will stay abreast of all project statuses with the added benefit of clear communication to eliminate surprises and resolve potential issues early.

Scope of Work
ERSC regularly conducts construction management and inspection for a diverse range of improvement projects on behalf of local agencies. To showcase our thorough CM approach, we've outlined the tasks performed on any assignment and provided a list of typical inspection items for some commonly encountered projects.

Construction M anagement ERSC's selected inspector will perform observation and inspection during the entirety of the project. • Review all project plans, specifications, addenda, prospective bidders Q&A, and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures prior to the pre-construction meeting to identify potential constructability or contractual issues. • Attend pre-construction meeting with the City, utility purveyors, and stakeholders. Prepare an agenda and meeting minutes with action items.
• Log, review, and approve material submittals, shop drawings, traffic control plans, etc. • Review the project schedule and construction progress on a weekly basis. ERSC will prepare and deliver a weekly statement of working days to the contractor. Major project milestones will be continuously monitored, and the schedule will be modified as necessary to account for weather delays or other unforeseen circumstances. • Conduct bi-weekly construction progress meetings with the City and contractor. Meeting agendas and minutes will be prepared for each meeting. The City will be kept informed each week of the project status. With the project's construction contract duration of 60 working days, ERSC assumes a total of 6 bi-weekly progress meetings. • Review and make recommendations regarding construction change orders, contractors' claims, and monthly progress payments.

Negotiate contract change orders on behalf of the City prior to City's acceptance. Coordinate RFls with the design engineer and City Engineer.
• Keeping contract files in different categories (progress payments, change orders, RFls, general correspondence, labor compliance, etc.). The granting agency will use these files to audit the work. • Verify that the contractor's payroll labor rates are consistent with the applicable wage determinations. • Verify that the contractor's work is completed according to plans and specifications. • ERSC's Inspector will maintain detailed daily reports for work items. Inspection reports will include weather, traffic control measures, labor, equipment, materials, quantities, correspondence, and issues observed. The inspection reports will also integrate the daily project photos. Additionally, the reports will include any tickets from material delivery to ensure accurate cost accounting. • Once the work is complete, ERSC will prepare a punchlist for construction items needing correction. Once items are corrected, ERSC will prepare a Recommendation for Acceptance of Work letter for the City's records. • Provide the City with a complete set of redlined record drawings for the City's records in PDF format. • Coordinate project closeout activities, including Notice of Completion, release of retention, warranty walk, delivery of archived documents, and assisting with staff reports for the Project's Notice of Completion, as needed.

Construction Inspection
ERSC's public works inspector will perform observation and inspection during the entirety of the project. • ERSC's Inspector will maintain detailed daily reports for all work items in accordance with Caltrans LAPM Exhibit 16-C. Inspection reports will include weather, traffic control measures, labor compliance, equipment, materials, quantities, correspondence, and issues observed. The inspection reports will also integrate the daily project photos. Additionally, the reports will include any tickets from material delivery to ensure accurate cost accounting when payment is requested. These reports will be submitted to the City 20 , .. ftft 1cna1, Project Understanding & Approach
at the end of each week.
• The Inspector will monitor the contractor's daily labor force for compliance with state and federal labor laws. The inspector will perform employee interviews to verify the contractor and subcontractors pay correct wages as determined by Davis Bacon or by the State Department of Industrial Relations.
• Geotechnical inspections for compaction and materials testing in accordance with the City's Quality Assurance Program (QAP), contract specifications, and guidelines.
• The inspector will attend the Pre-Construction Meeting and meet bi-weekly with City staff and the Contractor to update the project status and schedule.
• Prior to commencing construction, ERSC will take video and digital photos of the project site indicating the original status of the work sites. As part of the inspection, photographs will be taken to document the work areas prior to, during, and at the end of each work day.
• Observe installation of pedestrian facilities and ensure ADA compliance/public safety measures are per construction documents. • Monitor the Contractor's "Best Management Practices" (BMP) and document any construction stormwater quality deficiencies. If any deficiencies arise, the inspector will make recommendations t o the City and contractor to improve BMP efficacy and upkeep of the project site. • Verify that traffic control, lane/road closures, flagging, and layout are per construction drawings. • Review site layout and verify USA markings to avoid conflicts with existing utilities. • Upon completion of work, a full inspection will be conducted, and a punch list of deficiencies will be generated and distributed to the Contractor and City. As part of the punch list, ERSC's Inspector will issue a schedule to complete the items included. ERSC will re-inspect the repair or re-work and provide recommendations for acceptance when full compliance is achieved. • ERSC's inspector will maintain a set of record drawings that reflect conditions encountered and constructed in the field. These drawings will be submitted to the construction manager upon substantial project completion. • The Inspector's tablet will be equipped with a digital set of plans and specifications for easy access in the field. • Monitor site safety continuously during the project. Site safety, labor safety, and public safety are all considerations during construction project inspections.

Geotechnical Services and Materials Testing
AGI will focus its efforts on the Geotechnical and Materials Testing portion of the Project. Field and laboratory testing is based on Caltrans requirements for federally funded projects. AG l's scope of materials testing services for this Project includes:

1. Observations and materials testing of roadway subgrade and aggregate base materials.

2. Observations and materials testing of PCC and underlying soils for curb and gutter, curb ramps, and sidewalks.

3. Laboratory testing for native and aggregate base materials (soil maximum density-optimum moisture determinations, stability, and asphalt concrete maximum density determinations). ·

4. Preparation of daily field reports, laboratory test results, and a final materials test report signed by a California-licensed engineer.

Project-Specific Duties and Tasks
The following technical duties will be performed as needed on the different facilities under construction as project needs dictate:
• ERSC attended the City's non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on Tuesday, November 5th. It was noted that the City specifically requires the Contractor to provide submittals for review and approval 1 week from contract execution. ERSC would ensure the contractor meets the City's time-sensitive schedule.
• The contract documents indicate there are sections of gutter that do not have a proper drainage slope. Consequently, the contractor's surveyor must survey these areas to provide a positive flow profile so the street can drain by gravity. ERSC will review the surveyed elevations and provide curb and gutter reconstruction limits for the City Engineer to review and approve before replacement of curb and gutter.
• The Inspector will perform one employee labor compliance interview per week per trade in accordance with CEM-2504. Once completed, the interviews will be given to the City for review. • Verify and document job site posting of wage rate information and labor compliance posters. • Routinely monitor that contractor-submitted payroll certification is uploaded to the Project's DIR number and compare against the prevailing wage determination set forth by the contract documents. • The contract specifications indicate there is an alternative bid schedule that may add additional work items and quantities to the project. ERSC can manage the quantities and payments of the alternative bid schedules separate from the base bid if the City desires.
• Review the Project's area of disturbance to erosible subgrade to determine if a City needs to obtain coverage under the 2022 Construction General Permit (2022 CGP) and have the contractor prepare and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prev~~tion Plan 1RSC Project Understanding & Approach
(SWPPP). ERSC's preliminary measurements indicate the Project's impacts are well under 1 acre of disturbance. Eliminating this work from the Project's scope can save time and money for the City. However, the City can still choose to have the contractor implement a SWPPP if not required under the 2022 CGP.
• Verify all improvements are within City right-of-way. The project plan set offers little detail to the City's right-of-way relative to the project's improvements. If the contractor needs access to private property, the City/contractor will need to obtain permission from the owner to temporarily enter the property.

Assumptions and Exclusions
The following assumptions are made in the development of this proposal and fee:

1. Estimated hours of work are based on the construction duration of 60 working days. Contract administration and inspection time incurred after the 60 working days would be considered above and beyond the scope of this proposal.

2. This proposal estimates one (1) pre-construction meeting, 6 bi-week construction meetings, and one (1) project close-out meeting with ERSC's construction manager and inspector.

3. The City will coordinate and transact with Caltrans Local Assistance District 11 Office for contract administration and project submittals.

4. Exclusion of SWPPP or WQMP preparation as well as QSD/QSP inspection services.

5. Exclusion of public outreach services and inquiries for permission to enter private property of local residents and businesses. 22 ID

The City of Calexico is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced construction management, geotechnical and field inspection professionals to provide Construction Management, Geotechnical and Inspection Services for Sidewalk Improvement Project Federal Project No. CML-5168(036). The services are anticipated to be full time for the duration of the construction work, which will be completed by private contract secured through the public bidding process.

The purpose of the Request for Proposals (RFP) is to provide the City of Calexico with the assurance that this City administered project is constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications and that all local, state, and federal provisions (where applicable) which may be required due to the specific funding requirements are adhered to. An important objective is to maintain a level of high quality Construction Management, Geotechnical and Inspection Services through appropriate documentation and workflow methodology in the most cost-effective manner possible.

The contract will be regulated according to the provisions of all federal, state and local laws and ordinances that are applicable. This includes compliance with prevailing wage rates and their payment in accordance with California Labor Code, Section 1774. All Service Providers and subconsultant(s) shall pay all workers not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, State of California, for the type of work performed and the locality in which the work is to be performed, pursuant to sections 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code. Prevailing wage rates are available on the Internet at: http://www.dir.ca.gov. All Service Providers and sub-consultant(s) shall comply with the registration and qualification requirements pursuant to sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 of the California Labor Code.

II. PROJECT POSTING AND SCHEDULING
This RFP is being distributed over the internet and is posted at the City’s website at the following address: https://www.calexico.ca.gov/bidsandrfps. Consultants wishing to propose in response to this RFP must obtain this document from our website. Due to the fact that anyone can download 4 the RFP and the City has no method for tracking the distribution, the City is not able to maintain a list of potential consultants and/or proposers and cannot provide individual notification of amendments or addendums to this RFP.

The City will therefore post any addendums to the RFP on the above mentioned website. All consultants shall refer to the website to verify all addendums that have been issued and that they have acknowledged all such addendums in their proposal.

III. SCOPE OF WORK

NOTES:

1. This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.

2. An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology)

3. This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.

4. Calculations for anticipated salary escalation must be provided.
