Relevant Experience
City of Cathedral City, Ramon Road Signalized Pedestrian Crossing, 2022-Present
Principal Engineer. Cathedral City was awarded an HSIP Grant to construct a HAWK signal near the intersection of Ramon Road/ Avenida La Paloma. Under STC’s recommendation, the City selected a standard pedestrian signal operations with 3-section signal heads and a staggered crosswalk. Phil provided review of civil elements of the project.
City of Colton, Washington Street Bicycle Route Project, 2022-Present Project Manager. STC designed 1.8 miles of Class 2 and Class 3 bike facilities, including bike lanes, intersections and pedestrian crossings along a primary corridor. There were original plans to widen the recently overlayed and striped roadway. Phil coordinated with the City to develop design alternatives that would avoid new overlay and restriping and minimize loss of parking. This included reduction of median widths and incorporation of sharrows in areas that could not accomodate the 6-foot bike lanes. Design is complete and Phil is providing bid support during construction.
City of Colton, San Bernardino Avenue Street Improvement Project, 2022-Present
Project Manager. Phil is overseeing development of the bicycle facility concept plan which includes restriping of a half mile of San Bernardino Avenue, modification/replacement of non-compliant curb ramps at five intersections, and construction of 500 feet of curb and gutter. The final roadway configuration will consist of two travel lanes, a center Two Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) and bike lanes in both directions.
City of National City, Westside Mobility Improvements, 2016-2019 Project Manager. The project was part of the ATP for implementing pedestrian and bicycle improvements identified in the City’s Westside Specific Area Plan.
Phil oversaw all elements of design, which included Class II bike lanes, green bike boxes at signalized intersection, and enhanced crosswalks with curb extensions and high intensity signing and striping. The project was awarded the 2018 ASCE Award of Excellence in the Bikeways and Trails category.
City of La Mesa, Massachusetts Ave and Blackton Dr Pedestrian and Bike Improvements, 2019-2021
Project Manager. This regional ATP-funded project was meant to fill a gap in the City of La Mesa Bike Network by installing a northbound Class II bicycle lane on the east side of Massachusetts Avenue. It constructed new pedestrian ramps, a crosswalk, and medians. Project design and construction had to account for additional school traffic alongside normal pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
Phil has over 37 years of
experience in the planning,
design, permitting, and
construction support of
a wide range of public
works, transportation,
infrastructure, and capital
improvement projects for
public agencies. The last
20 years of his career have
focused on the design
and delivery of capital
projects through on-call
contracts and serving as
staff extension for public
agencies. Phil leads civil

1) Because the project doesn’t involve State or Federal funding, is it still necessary to submit Exhibit 10-K or a similar rate sheet (like the Sample Cost Proposal) for this project? Exhibi
t 10- K will not be required. A detailed cost proposal for each project including all services and materials anticipated will be required.
2) Should t
he plans for this project include the pavement improvements in addition to the signing and striping?
The pl
ans for this project WILL INCLUDE BOTH the application of Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) from 30 th Avenue to Vega Road and Baristo Road to Dinah Shore Drive and the pavement improvements from Vega Road to Baristo Road. 3) Is 11x17 an
allowable size for exhibits and the schedule? If so, will this count as 1 or 2 pages?
Yes,
11 x 17 will be allowed for exhibits and schedule. Each page will count as 1 page.
