iii. Project Understanding and Approach
HSIPL -5430 -039 (C08754) – 18 Unsignalized Intersection Upgrades The City of Cathedral City (City) is looking to improve safety and operability through the upgrade of 18 existing unsignalized intersections in various locations throughout the City. Per the City’s RFP, the project will be funded with HSIP funding.

These project intersections and improvements are shown in Figure 1 on page 8.

Improvements will include providing pedestrian crosswalk upgrades such as LED street lighting, ADA ramps, flashing stop signs, high visibility crosswalk striping, and advanced warning pavement markings and signs.

Grant administration is a key element to confirm that the City follows through with procurement. When agencies have appropriated funding, it is their responsibility to work with the administering agencies to submit the required documents as well as reimbursement requests. Funding administration involves various steps, such as the tracking of all eligible and non-eligible expenditures through a project’s lifespan, providing advisement on programmatic changes and updates, and building relationships with each agency granting or administering the funding.

In addition to the design and integration of this project, Kimley-Horn understands the importance of coordination with Caltrans District 8 for successful implementation of the project. Our team will verify that our submittals are complete and meet Caltrans’ Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) requirements for each submission.

Project Management Approach/Methodology
Our project manager, Kameron Qureshi, PE will be responsible for providing exceptional, proactive client service by maintaining overall control of the projects’ delivery; managing the flow of information both internally to the project team and with the agency and key stakeholders; managing integration of our team members; maintaining adherence to budget and schedule; and being responsible for the quality control of final deliverables. Kameron has successful experience managing similar projects, and he will utilize a proven set of project control tools to ultimately minimize risks and complete these projects successfully. The flow chart below illustrates the plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) process our team will employ for the project, followed by tools that our project manager and team will utilize to perform the volume and quality of work needed within the projects’ schedule milestones.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA)
Recognizing the importance of careful quality control, Kimley-Horn developed a QC/QA manual that every project manager and QC/QA manager is required to know and use. We strive for our procedures to facilitate the delivery of high-quality services that satisfy our client’s needs. There will be no learning curve relative to quality for the Kimley-Horn team. Our QC/QA program will include the review of project documents and supporting data by our project manager and/or key staff who will direct individual tasks. Our QC/QA program will include the following procedures:
• Project manager, Kameron Qureshi, PE and QC/QA manager, Jean Fares, PE, will be responsible for being thoroughly familiar with the requirements and will be given the authority to direct the project team and call upon our corporate resources, as required, to satisfy the projects’ needs
• An internal “kick-off” meeting will be held with key individuals assigned to the task to clearly define the scope of services and establish the schedule
• Project meetings and decisions will be documented by a “paper trail.” All documents will be supported by appropriate data that will clearly show the choices evaluated and the basis for our recommendations
• Supporting calculations, text, or data used to develop a document will be signed and dated by the individual involved when the services are performed. Also, telephone
conversations and meetings that include or affect a project decision will be documented

City of Cathedral City | RSCAORNG002065.2024 10

• Team network review will be undertaken. Team network quality control is the day-to-day peer review that is undertaken by the project team. Documents, analyses, letters, etc. are reviewed by a team member other than the individual preparing the documents and analyses. Review of significant analyses and documents are provided by the task manager for each task. The individual doing the checking will sign and date the documents and prepare a record of the findings. The findings will be resolved by the originator of the document and checked again until corrected. Quality control review comments will be maintained in a quality assurance file. This network review will be enhanced by weekly or bi-monthly full team meetings.

Staffing
In order to confirm our team member’s availability, Kimley-Horn uses a proactive management system known as “castaheads” to detail every project’s personnel needs and determine each staff person’s availability. This system forecasts our workload over a six-month period and helps to avoid work overload and shortfalls for each office and discipline. Castaheads help us confirm sufficient staff is available to meet your needs. By continuously matching project needs with staff availability, our castaheads system is an accurate tool for keeping our projects on schedule and guaranteeing that the right resources are assigned to the right projects. Based on a review of our current and anticipated workload, our proposed team members are available to assist you, and our team is adequately staffed so that the projects will be performed completely without risk or delay.

Budget and Schedule Control
Kimley-Horn understands the importance of meeting the City’s schedule and is committed to completing these projects on time. Our confidence in being able to meet the City’s timeline is attributed to our stringent approach to schedule control. We understand that schedule control must begin with a clear understanding of the scope of work and budget as well as the subsequent preparation of a detailed schedule that includes milestone completion dates, critical path items, and risks for interim deliverables. We maintain a detailed, integrated Management Information System (MIS), designed primarily to focus on schedule control. MIS tracks both effort and performance by recording time spent and percent of projects completed. Twice monthly, MIS produces a project effort report, which shows the actual effort expended by task. This internal control allows us to make any timely adjustments reasonably necessary to maintain project schedules. Budget control is achieved through two independent processing systems integrated into the MIS, providing a complete financial and reporting overview of each individual task as well as the entire project. Our project managers receive detailed status reports twice a month but can also access the system and obtain real time information on an ongoing basis. This level of tracking controls task budgets, allowing us to keep our clients fully informed of all administrative aspects of each task at a moment’s notice. Evidence of successful budget management for a similar project is provided in the Experience with Similar Work and Client References section on page 5 and in the Appendix.

iv. Scope of Work
HSIPL -5430 -039 (C08754) – 18 Unsignalized Intersection Upgrades Task 1: Project Management
This task will consist of project coordination with the team, administration, and set-up and attendance at project meetings. Kimley-Horn’s administration efforts will include initial development and maintenance of the project schedule, work plan, budget, and filing system and process monthly invoices/progress reports. We will create and maintain a detailed schedule, updating it as needed to manage the project and as requested by the City.

Kimley-Horn will attend a pre-design (kick-off) meeting with City staff after the award of the contract to conduct introductions and discuss the scope of work, information needed from various City departments, overall schedule, and the implementation process. After the kick-off meeting, monthly progress meetings will be scheduled for the duration of the design phase (assumed up to six months) along with meetings to review the preliminary design, 90%, and 100% submittals with City staff. Difficulties that may impede progress will be communicated, resolved, and expedited so that all deadlines are met on time.

Task 1 Deliverables:
• Attendance at up to six project meetings
• Electronic copy of meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and action items • Schedule updates at each submittal milestone (90% and 100%)

Task 2: Field Work/Preliminary Plans/Inventory/Standards Kimley-Horn will review base data documents, including as-built improvement plans, utility information, survey information, and other available record data. Kimley-Horn will conduct field investigations at each of the intersections to document existing street and traffic signal equipment and assess existing conditions.

There are some intersections in the project that may require extra coordination due to locations near other jurisdictions. It is assumed that the City will coordinate with the shared jurisdictions.

Kimley-Horn will prepare preliminary engineering plans for each intersection that shows tentative intersection improvements, including LED street lighting, ADA ramps, flashing stop signs, crosswalk striping and advanced warning pavement markings and signs. Plans will be completed in AutoCAD Version 2024 and will be presented with four intersections per plan sheet at scale 1”=20’.

It is assumed that conduit tracing, conductor schedules, cabinet inventory, and acquiring permits will not be included in this project.

A City inventory will be developed in Microsoft Excel format based on the preliminary plans.

Our team will provide a topographic field survey at a scale of 1”=40’ at each intersection for design of curb ramps.

Field survey limits will extend 15’ beyond ECR and BCR and will consist of back of walk, top of curb, flow line, edge of pavement.

Task 2 Deliverables:
• Field notes
• Field photos
• Preliminary engineering plans (up to 18 sheets) in electronic PDF format • City inventory in PDF, electronic format
Task 3: Environmental Documentation
Kimley-Horn will prepare the Categorical Exception (CE) documents and coordinate with the City to receive approval. As this project is state funded as part of HSIP Cycle 11, local HSIPs must meet the requirements of CEQA. Based upon our preparation of environmental documentation for similar projects and a review of the project as presented in the RFP, Kimley-Horn anticipates that the project will be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. The Notice of Exemption (NOE) is a brief project description

City of Cathedral City | RSCAORNG002065.2024 12

and analysis/explanation as to why this exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 is appropriate and confirms that no exceptions or unusual circumstances exist. Kimley-Horn will file the NOE with the County Clerk.

Kimley-Horn understands the project will be completed within the public right-of-way. The project will not require any utility relocation or right-of-way acquisition or easements. Kimley-Horn will perform research and compile all available right-of-way maps, assessor parcel maps, and easement information within the project limits. The right- of-way information will be shown on the plans. Any Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs) will be obtained by the City from adjacent property owners, and Kimley-Horn will show them on the plans.

Task 3 Deliverables:
• Preparation of CEQA CE
Task 4: Plans, Specifications, & Estimate (PS&E)
Task 4.1: 90% PS&E Package
Based on one set of non-conflicting comments on the preliminary plans, Kimley-Horn will advance the construction documents to a 90% level of design. Kimley-Horn will prepare a comment response matrix to be submitted with the 90% submittal. The comment response matrix will have the original comments, Kimley-Horn’s responses to the comments, and final resolution. Plans will be updated to show details for the 60 curb ramps requiring ADA upgrades throughout the project. It is assumed single ramps will be placed at all corners. Detailed callouts, elevations, and slopes will be provided along the curb return profiles. Back of ramp and sidewalk elevations will be verified to comply with current ADA guidelines. Detailed curb ramp elevation callouts are not anticipated since curb ramps will be designed to standard configurations. Curb ramps will be designed using Caltrans Standard Plans, Standard Plans for Public Works Construction (SPPWC), City of Cathedral City Standard Plans, and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). Deviations from applicable standards will be indicated on the plans. Exceptions will require approval by the City.

Kimley-Horn will prepare an opinion of probable construction costs (OPCC) based on anticipated construction items and quantities from the 90% submittal for comparison to project budget and assistance during the contractor’s bidding process. Unit prices will be derived from readily available current bid information based on similar projects within the area. Backup will be generated for lump sum items. Contingencies will be shown, as agreed upon with City staff.

The City is specifically cautioned that unit prices for construction have been and remain unpredictable and escalating, and we advise that the City consider contingencies and engage in independent contractor pricing exercises. Kimley-Horn will exercise reasonable efforts to overcome the challenges presented by current circumstances.

We anticipate the following plan sheet counts for the project:
• Cover Sheet: one sheet
• Notes, Legends, and Construction Details: one sheet
• Intersection Improvement Plans: up to 18 sheets
• Estimated Total sheets: 20 sheets
Task 4.1 Deliverables:
• One set of 90% plans in electronic PDF format
• 90% OPCC in PDF electronic format
Task 4.2: 100% PS&E Package
Based on one set of non-conflicting comments from the 90% PS&E comments, Kimley-Horn will advance the PS&E to the 100% level of design. It is expected that the comments will not result in a major change in design.

Kimley-Horn will adjust the plans and technical specifications based on the City comments accordingly. Kimley- Horn will prepare a comment response matrix to be submitted with the final submittal. The comment response matrix will have the original comments, Kimley-Horn responses to the comments, and final resolution. A licensed professional engineer will conduct a peer review and QC/QA review of the design plans, OPCC, and technical specifications. A licensed professional engineer will stamp and sign all plan sheets for this submittal.

As this is a HSIP Cycle 11 state-funded project, Caltrans LAPM forms for PS&E Certification and E-76 Construction Authorization are not required.

Kimley-Horn will prepare and submit right-of-way self-certification forms as well as prepare and submit construction allocation request and other documents for Caltrans.

Task 4.3 Deliverables:
• Right-of-way self-certification package
• Construction allocation package
Task 5: Bidding Assistance
This task consists of coordination and support during the bidding phase of the project. Kimley-Horn will attend the pre-bid meeting and assist City staff and/or potential contractors in answering pre-bid questions and interpretations of the plans and specifications. It is assumed the pre-bid meeting will be virtual. Kimley-Horn will log those questions and provide responses to up to five requests for information (RFIs) during the bidding phase and prepare one project addenda. Changes in the overall design concept are not accounted for in this scope.

Task 5 Deliverables:
• Prepare up to one project addenda
• Response to up to five sets of pre-bid questions and questions during bidding phase • Attendance at up to one pre-bid meeting
Task 6: Construction Support
Kimley-Horn will also assist the City during the construction phase of the project. Kimley-Horn will attend the pre- construction meeting and address items for the construction management team to be aware of. Kimley-Horn will be involved during construction stages by responding to up to two RFIs and reviewing and responding to up to five submittals. Kimley-Horn will prepare record drawings after construction based on one consolidated set of redline markups from the contractor. It is assumed the pre-construction meeting is virtual.

Kimley-Horn has no control over the contractor’s or construction manager’s means, methods, techniques, sequence, schedule, and other activities. Therefore, the associated effort for Kimley-Horn during construction detailed in this fee sheet are an estimate only. Kimley-Horn will provide its services during construction on a time and materials basis and will notify the client prior to exceeding the budgets stated herein.

Kimley-Horn will prepare a comment response matrix to be submitted with the 90% submittal. The comment response matrix will have the original comments, Kimley-Horn’s responses to the comments, and final resolution. Plans will be updated to show details for the 7 curb ramps requiring ADA upgrades throughout the project. It is assumed single ramps will be placed at all corners. Detailed callouts, elevations and slopes will be provided along the curb return profiles. Back of ramp and sidewalk elevations will be verified to comply with current ADA guidelines. Detailed curb ramp elevation callouts are not anticipated since curb ramps will be designed to standard configurations. Curb ramps will be designed using Caltrans Standard Plans, SPPWC, City of Cathedral City Standard Plans, and PROWAG. Deviations from applicable standards will be indicated on plans. Exceptions will require approval by the City.

Kimley-Horn will prepare an opinion of probable construction costs based on anticipated construction items and quantities from the 90% submittal for comparison to project budget and assistance during the contractor’s bidding process. Unit prices will be derived from readily available current bid information based on similar projects within the area. Backup will be generated for lump sum items. Contingencies will be shown, as agreed upon with City staff.

The City is specifically cautioned that unit prices for construction have been and remain unpredictable and escalating and we advise that the City consider contingencies and engage in independent contractor pricing exercises. Kimley-Horn will exercise reasonable efforts to overcome the challenges presented by current circumstances.

Additional Experience with Similar Work and Client References Kimley-Horn has more than five decades of experience performing similar work for public agencies throughout Southern California. One advantage of the Kimley-Horn team is that we bring a wide-range of HSIP experience and knowledge. Our team understands the typical challenges associated with these types of projects, and we will leverage that knowledge to identify constraints and issues and develop designs that can be effectively implemented.

The following is an additional list of recent references for similar projects within the past three years to showcase our experience performing comparable services with other agencies. We encourage you to contact our references in regard to our ability to provide comprehensive solutions for related pursuits.

City of San Bernardino, Upgrade of Various Signal Hardware on 224 Signalized Intersections on Various Arterials (HSIP), San Bernardino, CA Through HSIP Cycle 9, the City of San Bernardino received funding to upgrade various signal hardware for 224 signalized intersections throughout the City. Proposed improvements at the intersections included upgrades to signal hardware components, including traffic signal heads, push buttons, and pedestrian signal heads. Most of the traffic signal hardware at the study intersections had been installed decades ago and required equipment upgrades to bring signal hardware component operations up to date to meet minimum ADA and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) requirements. Kimley-Horn provided PS&E services and assisted the City in updating outdated and damaged traffic signal hardware, installing new hardware where necessary, and improving safety by implementing or replacing traffic signal head components, pedestrian signal heads, and pedestrian push buttons. Kimley-Horn provided civil, traffic, and environmental services, which included PES and CEQA/NEPA documents.
