Subject: Professional Construction Engineering Support Services for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 10: Pedestrian Crossing at Ramon Road near Candlewood Drive, CIP No. 08753 Dear Mr. Lee,
Thank you for the opportunity to present our proposal as a response to the RFP for Professional Construction Engineering Support Services for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 10: Pedestrian Crossing at Ramon Road near Candlewood Drive. Our proposal enclosed herein, outlines TKE Engineering, Inc's (TKE) qualifications to provide the requested services to the City of Cathedral City (City). TKE is a full service, multi- disciplinary consulting firm highly qualified to perform any and all City services required to successfully complete construction of the City's HSIP grant funded project. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assist the City and aware of the City's needs. Founded in 2000, TKE is a California Corporation with a local office at 73-993 Highway 111, Suite 201, Palm Desert, CA 92260.

Why should the City choose TKE to provide construction and inspection support services? Please consider the following:

1. Coachella Valley Experience - TKE has been working for various municipalities and/or District's in the Coachella Valley since 2001. Throughout the past 23 years, TKE has developed an extensive understanding of the requirements, agencies and events which are exclusive to the Coachella Valley. Our current experience with CV- Sync has allowed our proposed staff to further expand our knowledge of the traffic patterns and critical traffic issues within the Coachella Valley and Cathedral City in particular. Numerous members of TKE's staff are also PM-10 Certified.

2. Grant Experience - TKE has provided construction management, inspection and grant management on more than $500 million grant funded projects over the past 23 years. TKE has in-depth knowledge of Federal and State grant funding programs as well as Caltrans LAPM requirements.

3. Team Leadership - The City will benefit greatly by continuing the vision, leadership, and dedication to community exhibited by TKE's project team. TKE's numerous accomplishments and management skills will help maintain continuity in the delivery of the services. In particular, Terry Renner, TKE's Senior Vice President and Project Manager will be the client's representative, and primary contact. Mr. Renner is a registered civil engineer and licensed land surveyor, and his experience extends from project planning to design and bidding through construction. His excellent communication and management skills will provide a great benefit to the City. In particular, his experience with "cutting edge" creative engineering techniques focused on cost control, will ensure that projects provide the maximum value for the public's investment. Some of Mr. Renner's key strengths are communication, organization and issues resolution. His effective communication skills ensure that all stakeholders are constantly advised of project progress. He implements a proactive organizational program to effectively manage the Team's schedule, documents action items with required follow-up and conducts continuous budget and schedule reviews to anticipate needs for future action items. Lastly, Mr. Renner's 'can do' approach to all project issues always results in resolution. His perseverance and vast knowledge and experience of issues will resolve challenges while protecting City interests. The City will find that Mr. Renner's and TKE team approach provides the best working partnership to meet the City's construction inspection needs.

Supporting Mr. Renner will be TKE's key personnel, including Labor Compliance Specialist, Jeannette Barlow, and Senior Public Works Inspector, Nelson Blackwell, C.P.I.I. Aragon Geotechnical, Inc. will be providing Materials Testing Services, and all other services will be performed by TKE staff in-house.

In addition, TKE's experience includes a comprehensive understanding of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), project scheduling programs (including critical path methodology relating to interagency and interdepartmental coordination), and Caltrans Local Assistance project processing. Finally, TKE's extensive funding administration experience will also greatly benefit the City.

5. Our Commitment - TKE is committed to providing high quality, efficient services to meet all of the City's needs Our Project Manager will be in contact with project stakeholders as often as required to keep projects proceeding efficiently, on schedule and within allocated budgets. It is this personal touch and contact that define our 'loca service' approach. We consider ourselves community builders and take ownership of services requested from TKE, ensuring that our personnel will be allocated on an as-needed basis in order to successfully complete all projects.

Our broad array of services and in-house team provide the City a trusted consultant to turn to in any challenge, no matter how simple or complex. We pride ourselves in the management and completion of special, atypical projects and thrive on challenging budgets and deadlines. It is this commitment to service and diverse array of offerings that makes us unique and drives our long-standing relationships with our client base, and it is these qualities that make us 'the right fit' for the City.

6. Our Value - TKE's management team and staff are fundamentally committed to creating value in each task that we perform. As such, we have created a professional culture wherein each member of our staff constantly strives for increased efficiency, ultimately allowing us to provide highly professional services at competitive rates. This culture of constant value creation and increased efficiencies, ensures that the services contracted to, and provided by TKE, will always mean good stewardship of resources.

DESCRIPTION
TKE prepared and obtained a grant for the City of Calimesa through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) Local Partnership Program (LPP). TKE is preparing street widening and roundabout improvements for the construction of the County Line Road Transportation Corridor. The Project includes four (4) single-lane and one (1) multi-lane roundabouts, together with street, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements, to improve safety and efficiency throughout the corridor. The innovative approach to implement roundabout intersection throughout the corridor provides adequate capacity and level of service to remain a two-lane street; thus, significantly reducing right-of-way and construction costs to construct a four-lane corridor.
