is extremely proactive and provides CVAG with notice of any potential delays. We believe the project schedule is a critical tool for managing project completion, when fully integrated into the project’s requirements. Our experience indicates that a proactive scheduling approach with clear specifications and effective administration is a proven method to reduce risk and liability on the successful completion of the project for both CVAG and the Contractor. The construction management team enforces the scheduling requirements in the Contract provisions, which are key to place the project in a positive position in case of claims.
Our team is versed in Primavera P6, Phoenix, Expedition, Claim Digger, MS Project and other programs. We have experience dealing with various schedule types, and specific analytical approaches, including CPM, fragnets, move in schedules and contemporaneous period analysis as an effective method of characterizing and quantifying delays.
Our unique approach involves analysis
of the Contractor’s schedules on a
weekly basis, using the information
from our inspectors’ daily reports,
meeting minutes, submittal logs,
Weekly Statement of Working Days,
and other project records. This schedule analysis approach is extremely proactive and provides CVAG with notice of any potential delays. We believe the project schedule is a critical tool for managing project completion, when fully integrated into the project’s requirements. Our experience indicates that a proactive scheduling approach with clear specifications and effective administration is a proven method to reduce risk and liability on the successful completion of the project for both CVAG and the Contractor. We have experience dealing with various schedule types, and specific analytical approaches, including CPM, fragnets, move in schedules and contemporaneous
period analysis as an effective method of characterizing and quantifying delays.
CM Staffing Plan (c): During the Baseline review, our Resident Engineer, Tyson Atwood will sit down with our Project Manager, Lucas Rathe and CVAG to discuss potential staffing needs. We will identify key activities in which part-time personnel will be required. We will also analyze the anticipate location of each overlapping activity to ensure that we have adequate resources to ensure Quality Assurance of the project. Anser field personnel are well cross trained and can many times fulfill multiple project roles. We will look for opportunities to utilize staff in this manner, reducing the total number of hours required on the project. Our proposed resource plan will be shared with CVAG for additional input and approval. Should major changes be made to the project schedule, Tyson will again work with Luke to ensure that we have the proper amount of resources on the project.
Contract Change Order and Claims (7)
Change Orders (a-d): Whether it be an unknown utility, design omission, or Owner requested design modification; change is an inevitable part of construction. Anser will advise CVAG of all situations when a contract change order should be submitted to the contractor. Proper backup documentation, emails, approvals, relevant photographs, and reports are always kept in the project file to support the terms of the Change Order. Anser’s primary mechanism for change management will be a negotiate lump sum agreement. For these agreements an independent cost estimate (ICE) will be provided with each change order. If the scope cannot be clearly defined, or if Tyson cannot agree to a cost with the Contractor, then a Force Account Contract Change Order (CCO) will be issued. Tentative agreements will be issued daily by our inspector to the contractor for all work which is being tracked under force account, for any work which may later be disputed. Anser will write the change order, accompanying memorandum, and package all backup necessary prior to
submitting to CVAG for final approval.
Claims (e): Anser believes and practices proactive communication and proactive management which promotes collaboration on the job and will make every attempt to resolve issues before they become disputes. However, we will vigorously defend the interests of CVAG and explicitly enforce the contract documents.
Our Team employs claims experts with a proven track record with Caltrans and other public agencies on projects of all sizes.
The Anser Team brings valuable “lessons-learned” and asneeded advice on resolving and mitigating potential contractor claims. The core of the Anser Team Risk Management strategy is to ensure assembling a well-defined bid document. We will monitor all site records of events, labor, materials and equipment for potential claims or delay issues. This contemporaneous data will be essential when analyzing a contractor’s claim and crucial to refute parts of it. Our team will assemble complete “issue binders” of every issue that will contain all relevant RFI’s, change orders, correspondence, pictures, inspector’s dailies, cost analysis and schedule analysis. These documents will be electronically linked in our document control system for easy retrieval by CVAG staff for review. Our objective will be to minimize misunderstandings by providing clear and concise analysis of all the major issues on the project.

Safety (8, a-d)
Safety is Anser’s number one priority. This
includes the safety of the travelling
public, the contractor, and our team.
We adopt a zero-tolerance culture for
preventable accidents to ensure that
every team member and public drivers
go home at the end of the day. Every member of our construction team has an obligation to never walk by an unsafe act. We will require the contractor to submit an Injury and Illness Protection Plan (IIPP) for all their operations for the project and make sure the contractor is held accountable for enforcing their plan. If we see something that goes against the Contractor’s plan, we will shut down the operation and call a meeting to make sure safety is the number one goal of the project. Safety is the responsibility of everyone on the team and, at minimum, we will perform document weekly and monthly safety checks which will be sent to our contractor and filed as part of our construction files.
For the Art and Music Line project a few of the high priority safety items the Anser team will look out for are machinery working in close proximity to each other; traffic control; fatigue due to hot weather conditions, and slips, trips, and falls.
Additionally, there will be added safety requirements when working in the La Quinta Evacuation channel. This includes fall protection, both during and after the CIP retaining wall construction, carbon monoxide monitoring for equipment uses underneath the bridges, and low objects as we will be in close proximity to the existing bridge decks and hanging utilities.
Finally, it’s likely that we will need to remove some hazardous materials/waste as a result of the existing homeless
encampments. The Anser team has experience with this on the CV Link project and will ensure that there is a bid item allowance for such cleanup at the time of bid to ensure the safety of our workers.
Project Closeout (9, a-h)
Anser believes that punch list items should begin well before the near completion of a project. Following this logic, Anser has established an innovated way to streamline this process utilizing an interactive, “live” and always up-to-date punch list.
This web-based punch list (using a cloud-based software such as Microsoft SharePoint; please reference the bottom left example) can be viewed by anyone at any time and is always current. Anser has even developed an app for easy data entry.
The benefit is that the CM, contactor, and other agencies can have certain permissions to view, update and status the log. The CM inputs items on the log which the contractor can view, correct the items, and update the log once the item is complete. The CM will receive notification that punch list items are completed and can verify completeness in the field and update the list. This log can be accessed and modified in the field using a smart phone or other mobile device. This streamlined process eliminates the needs for meetings, reduces the number of transmittals to/from the contractor and increases efficiency of the project team.
Anser has had a lot of success using this feature on the Segment 1 CV Link project. The punch list has evolved into a project completion list with several different ways to filter the data that make management of long, linear project much more feasible. We would implement a similar system which would be tailored for the features of the AML project.
As discussed early, throughout the duration of the project, our Resident Engineer will keep an electronic set of “as-built” plans utilizing the Bluebeam software previously described. In utilizing the Bluebeam software, this ensures that A) our Field Inspector always has the latest information, and B) as-built packages are complete and ready to send to the design engineer for review at the click of a button.
Tyson will complete both a proposed and final payment to the contractor. He will assist CVAG with filing of all required closeout documentation, including the “Notice of Completion.” He will supply CVAG and applicable stakeholders with a separate package containing all manuals, warranties, and other such guarantee’s as they relate to the individual project. As part of the final deliverable of all project files, a final project report, which will include lessons learned, will be reviewed with CVAG. Anser will complete all project closeout activities in accordance with Caltrans LAPM requirements.
Anser has provided the following Responsibilities Matrix on the subsequent page.

Professional Engineering Services, Arts and Music Line Project 27 | Anser Advisory SECTION 4 (CONTINUED)
METHODS FOR QUALITY, BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Anser prides itself in successfully delivering projects with the highest quality of work product while meeting our clients’ needs and expectations. Our quality procedures encompass all aspects of our performance. We implement project management
procedures to assure accountability of the team using the project control methods described below to keep this project on schedule and within the authorized budget. Additionally, we have quarterly internal audits that vet the completeness of daily reports and confirm that only relevant and contractual information is recorded.
Project Management Plan for Successful Delivery
In accordance with Anser standard procedures, Lucas Rathe, PE, our Project Manager, develops and issues a Project Management Plan (PMP). The PMP details our management and technical plan for successfully delivering your project, including quality procedures, and details the following subjects:
Project Overview. Describes the overall project, your project goals, your expectations of Anser, and our scope of work.
Organization/Roles and Responsibilities. Provides for a clear chain of command, confirms the role and decision-making authority for team members. This can also be used as our communication plan.
Deliverables/Schedule. Ties deliverables to the schedule, details deliverable requirements and standards, and includes a copy of the contractor’s detailed schedule once it is issued.
Document Control Procedures. Details how we will manage hard copy and electronic files and provides a quick reference sheet for the filing system.
Inspection and Sampling/Testing Procedures. Provides a quick reference sheet for inspection protocols with references to standards, forms, and requirements.
Standard Forms. Provides easy access to all forms we will use on this project. All forms will be in accordance to the Caltrans Manual.
The PMP is issued to every project team member, including CVAG, and we ask team members to review and sign it to confirm that they have read and understand our approach to delivering the project. The PMP is regularly updated to reflect the current status of the project and any changes that have occurred, such as changes in standard forms. Using the PMP we align the entire team around your goals, objectives, standards, and requirements. This approach enables us to achieve consistent and predictable results the first time and helps us avoid costly and time-consuming rework.
In addition to planning for quality, we regularly verify that we are following the plan and meeting your expectations. Verifying compliance is the responsibility of our Resident Engineer, Tyson Atwood, who performs periodic quality assurance audits to confirm that procedures we comply with all project standards and procedures, including:
Following the audits, improvement notifications are issued for any deficiencies and Luke will follow up with the CVAG PM to confirm that appropriate corrective action is taken. To meet or exceed your expectations, Luke will meet with CVAG every six months to perform an evaluation of our team where we ask you about our performance. Following this discussion, Luke will meet with Tyson to provide feedback and help the team adjust how we perform our work so that we provide you greater satisfaction with our services. The end result of our approach is continuous performance improvement over the duration of the contract.
In addition, the Anser team will work closely with CVAG to verify and monitor contractor’s adherence to the contract Special Provisions, Plans, Standard Plans and Caltrans Manuals as it pertains to Quality Assurance (QA.) QA testing and inspections will take place to ensure the accuracy and compliance of the work. QA sampling and testing will be in accordance with Caltrans Test Methods (CTMs) per the frequencies dictated in the Caltrans Construction Manual, Testing Frequency Tables.
Test that are not covered by CTM will be covered by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International. A Caltrans certified laboratory shall always be utilized to perform soils and material service testing to validate contractor’s test results. The Anser team will ensure that all test machines are calibrated annually or more frequently using devices of accuracy traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. Batch plant and source inspections shall take place by individuals that are certified for this type of sampling.

COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS
Professional Engineering Services, Arts and Music Line Project 28 | Anser Advisory SECTION 4 (CONTINUED)
Anser will keep daily reports and logs to track the stages of the work, progress, and any required Quality assurance testing. The logs will track test performed and their results, samples taken, and any test or samples taken by the construction management team will assure current status of certifications, non-compliance reports (NCRs), submittals, and any other aspect of quality assurance and inspection that should be tracked for compliance and proper record keeping.
Document Control
The Anser team, led by Tyson Atwood, will
establish, manage and coordinate a document
control system to manage and store all projectrelated information for the Project. We are well versed with the Caltrans uniform filing system and intend to use the same system both electronically and hard copy.
A unique tracking number system will be implemented to provide control of all documents, records, reviews, and writings, and to provide for expediting the transmittal of all construction documents. This tracking system will account for all letters, memos, submittals, shop drawings, change orders, Requests for Information, Request for Qualifications, notice of potential claims, suspended correspondence, and all other pertinent sources of information. Tyson will also establish and maintain an issue tracking system. Both tracking systems will use a unique numbering system to ensure document control. The system will contain all issues requiring the attention of all stakeholders. All meeting minutes will be recorded sequentially to ensure that all actions items are tracked and completed in a timely manner to avoid potential project delays.
We will utilize an electronic system to allow complete storage of all project documents electronically in addition to customary storage of hardcopy documents in accordance to the Caltrans uniform filing system. Upon completion of each project, all hardcopy and electronic documents will be transmitted to CVAG.
Cost Control
We understand the importance of delivering projects within budget.
We have a history of completing construction projects on time and within budget. Value engineering is an excellent method to reduce the project costs.
We constantly look for means and methods to reduce the
project cost while being thoughtful to not create impacts to the public or the cities. Our team is experienced in identifying and quantifying items to enhance the quality of the project while reducing lifecycle costs. Through partnering, the contractor is encouraged to also find ways and means that benefit both the contractor and CVAG, providing a win–win situation. Using experience, the CPM schedule and a five-week look-ahead schedule, we are proactive in “looking ahead” of the contractor’s operations to identify issues that may impact costs, and we make every effort to provide solutions and present them to CVAG. If an extra cost item cannot be completely eliminated, we evaluate the contractor’s change order requests to ascertain validity, merit and appropriate costs based on an independent cost estimate. Contractor monthly pay estimates are reviewed for content and financial accuracy and are certified.
Schedule Control
As discussed in the Cost and Document Control section,
our team will review and provide comments to the baseline schedule submitted by the contractor. The team will review and monitor progress on a weekly basis by walking the site and recording actual status and developments. All inspectors will be required to note down the accuracy of the milestones, start and completion dates indicated in the approved baseline schedule.
Anser will review the monthly updates in a timely manner. These updates are critical not only to establish exactly how the project is being built, but also to flag emerging issues and trends. Trend reporting will be used to track the changes in float for all areas of the project, flagging those areas where the available float is indicates lack of progress or exceeding planned progress and to further identify the specific factors that caused the occurrence of the change. This method ensures that problem areas are not overlooked by all stakeholders and are identified prior to the activity becoming critical. The report also provides the explanation of the root causes for a delay in the project and makes it an important defense for future claims.
Any proposed change resulting in altering the critical path or near critical path or extending the schedule completion date that was originally identified in the approved baseline, the contractor will be required to submit a revised schedule and a time impact analysis (TIA) immediately in accordance to the special provisions. Anser will immediately analyze the TIA after an event occurs, and, if possible, prior to the start of the additional work. We will ensure that the review of the TIA is completed prior to the start of the additional work in order to recommend the issuance of the change order to increase the contract duration and price, prior to performing the additional work. We will analyze the effects of events and added work in a timely manner.

PROPOSED ENHANCEMENTS,
PROCEDURAL OR TECHNICAL
INNOVATIONS (V)
Approach to Civil Integrated Management
Anser effectively leverages tools available today, including bringing our projects successfully into the future by
implementing Civil Integrated Management (CIM). CIM is
the technology-enabled collection, organization, managed accessibility, and the use of accurate data and information throughout the lifecycle of a project. Our aspirations are to make incremental improvements to functions in workflow and enable full digital workflows from project inception to project delivery.
Our team is encouraged to always find cost and time savings on all projects and CIM is proving to be a true value add to our clients that brings those benefits. We have and continue to work with different technologies that best fit our projects and have identified OpenSpace technology and C-MIS project management software technology to be two tools that we
believe can bring value to this project.
Openspace.Ai
OpenSpace is a document control that captures 360 degree images which are then stitched to site plans allowing users to locate exact locations on the plans via the site plan and giving you split screen images of current days activities and any other past day activities in the same exact area. This tool has been proven invaluable in pre-construction services, claims avoidance or dispute resolution and being a historical record, which provides information for as-built designs in the future if needed. Anser is currently using the software on a number of projects including:
CV Link with CVAG, the Landis and Georgia-Meade bikeways project, and the Bayshore Bikeway Barrio Logan project, both administered by SANDAG.
By utilizing this software, Anser was successfully able to defend SANDAG who was named as part of a larger accident within the City of San Diego. The claim was made that the George-Meade project had left uneven sidewalk elevations after the project. Through the use of OpenSpace, we were quickly able to go to the exact spot of the claim, pull our pre-construction records, and prove that the uneven sidewalk was an existing conditions within the City right-of-way and that SANDAG was not responsible for any of the damages.
CMIS
CMIS is an online project
management software
that manages all basic
construction management
services, such as RFIs,
Submittals, Change Orders,
and Progress Payments. In
addition, all inspector daily
diaries are entered through
the online system in the field.
The major advantage is in
searchability of information
which is accessed remotely and immediately. For inspectors this means more field time inspection and less time in the office doing administrative work. This information is accessed by all authorized staff which allows expeditious flow of information thereby expediting responses to questions RFIs and any other question that may impede real time delays to construction.
With this software, data can be mined in minutes instead of days, making it much more cost feasible to fight frivolous claims. In addition to using the software for the CVAG CV Link program, Anser is currently utilizing this software for a number of other clients including the County of San Diego and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority.
Our commitment to our clients is always being proactive in seeking solutions that bring our clients value in assuring project delivery success.
SCHEDULE AND DEADLINES (VI)
As demonstrated throughout various section of this proposal, the Anser team is ready to hit the ground running once we receive our NTP. There is much work to be done so that the project can be advertised in January of 2025 so that construction can begin in Q2 2025. We will immediately begin our constructibility review of the design drawings and provide comments back to the designer. In parallel with our constructibility review, we will also begin our cost estimating services to ensure that costs are lining up with the engineer’s estimate. Because there are federal funds on the project, prior to advertisement, a complete package will need to be submitted to Caltrans for review prior to receiving our E76 for construction. Typically this review takes a minimum of 8-weeks, so this package must be submitted by October 2024 to meet the current project schedule.
Below, we have detailed out a preliminary schedule for both pre-construction and construction services. Once additional information is known, this schedule can easily be manipulated and refined for use as we move forward with the project.

performed on both sides of Avenue 48 for about
2 miles and a single side for about 3.5 miles. It will impact intersections, access to shopping, as well as restrict traffic with construction activity and extended lane closures.
Work along Hjorth Road and Van Buren Street is similar, though these roads are not as busy as Avenue 48. Dillon Road will be reduced from four lanes to two lanes to
accommodate the added bike lane and will likely be the
least impactful construction location for the project. Work along the La Quinta Channel includes a significant amount of import material and retaining wall construction prior to constructing the bike path base and surface.
A dedicated, focused, and proactive CM team will
be needed to smooth the way for the contractor to
successfully construct this project. The project success will be largely defined by the timely completion of a
quality product and public’s perception of the progress and productivity seen during every week of construction.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Arts and Music Line (AML) is a multi-benefit project that will make public safety enhancements for pedestrians and bicyclists, encourage modes of alternative transportation, and create connectivity to local and regional bike and
pedestrian infrastructure. When completed, the 10 miles of protected Class I and Class IV bicycle facilities will connect services, and amenities in the area and add to the CV
Link’s 40-plus mile alternative transportation corridor.
The alignment follows Avenue 48 and Dillon Road through the Cities of La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella. These are busy thoroughfares with vehicle speeds in excess of 50
miles per hour. The much-needed project will create safer routes to schools, promote outdoor recreation, while
improving health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The AML will upgrade the current Class II bike lanes along Avenue 48 to a fully protected Class IV bike lane; construct new Class IV lanes along Hjorth Street, Van Buren Avenue, and Dillon Road; and construct a Class I bike lane along the La Quinta Evacuation Channel, connecting to the
CV Link at the Whitewater River. The AML will provide a safe backbone that connects existing Class II bike lanes to provide safe and efficient alternative transportation options to schools, residences, shopping, entertainment, and employment centers. In addition to the transportation benefits, the AML offers architectural features that
draw attention and interest while promoting safety. The completed network will be recognized as a nationwide
model of alternative transportation.
The work along Avenue 48 involves removing the existing bike lane along Avenue 48, constructing the concrete
separation, replacing the road pavement, placing the new bike lane behind the separation, and completing a full
width grind and overlay along Avenue 48. This work is

changes to accommodate public traffic, or extreme weather conditions. Each of these situations can be anticipated and a plan can be formulated to specifically mitigate the impact.
Mr. Smith, Mr. Nowak, and the team have demonstrated
problem solving skills on these and other similar project impacts throughout their careers.
The TYLin Team has a proven track record of proactive
leadership, foreseeing and addressing potential challenges to allow the contractor to continue their work without delay.
Typical delays may include unresolved utility conflicts, right-of-way encroachments, inaccuracies in the project plans, alignment issues, unanticipated delays caused by
APPROACH TO COMPLETING THE WORK
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Strong and proactive project management is needed to
efficiently execute the required scope of services and
successfully construct this project within budget, schedule, and minimal impact to the public. Project Manager, Joseph Smith, PE, has a demonstrated record of meeting and
overcoming the issues that will be encountered on this
project. Mr. Smith is an experienced construction manager and can quickly understand project issues. He also has
personally selected the members of this team, both TYLin staff and sub-consultant support, to meet the specific
challenges that may be encountered throughout the project duration.
As Project Manager, Mr. Smith will have ultimate control over the TYLin Team budget. He will also have oversight over Resident Engineer, Thomas Nowak, as he monitors
and manages the construction schedule and construction
budget. In our experience, cost and schedule control
must be exercised every day and be regularly evaluated
to assure the final costs are within the budget and
the schedule is acceptable once all the unforeseen
contingencies are considered. TYLin has maintained
our reputation for smooth and efficient project delivery throughout Southern California for 50 years by developing, deploying, and adapting project control tools to monitor budget, schedule, and documents. Each of these is
discussed below:
Budget Monitoring & Control | To manage the budget of a given project, TYLin’s engineers and project controls staff use data from TYLin’s internal accounting system, Deltek Vision, to evaluate progress. The information is updated monthly for the overall scope of services.
Schedule Monitoring & Control | On contractor driven projects, TYLin uses scheduling tools, including Microsoft Project and Primavera P6, for Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling of the work.
The schedule is used to monitor progress throughout the project and is updated monthly or more frequently as needed. Various metrics are analyzed to track schedule performance.
Document Control | TYLin implements a uniform filing system for all documents associated with each task order, including prime agreement; amendments; subconsultant contracts; prevailing wage documents; timesheets and receipts for ODCs.
Item 16.
Arts and Music Line Construction Management Services
Mr. Smith served as Resident Engineer on the Madison
Street Canal Improvement project in the City of Indio,
responsible for overseeing the construction of a large
double-box channel, extension of the canal to the south, temporary relocation of the existing channel utilizing
temporary bridges and allowing for upgrades to many of
CVWD’s existing utilities.
As Project Manager for the I-10/Jefferson Street
Interchange (Figure 2), Mr. Smith presented to the
leadership team of Golden Voice, the promoter that
spearheads the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, multiple times over three years to update the group on the changes to traffic patterns within the interchange and to obtain feedback on how the CM team could help improve
movement of concertgoers through the interchange over
the multiple weekends that are so vital to the economy of the Valley.
Through these many projects TYLin has gained experience with the many stakeholders of the AML and will point this experience towards establishing the best bid set possible and constructing the high-quality transportation link the residents of La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella envision.
Managing the contractor’s schedule is directly related to managing our level of staffing and the resulting budget.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Nowak will work together to provide an efficient and effect level of staffing to meet the project needs.
Mr. Smith will remain in regular and close contact with Mr. Nowak to provide supervision, consultation, and
staffing support to assure that the TYLin work plan is
effectively implemented to the satisfaction of CVAG and involved cities. Mr. Smith has worked closely with the
Cities of La Quinta, Coachella, and Indio, as well as RCTD, and has a proven reputation of partnering with client
agencies to overcome project challenges and deliver
successful projects. With Mr. Smith’s oversight, Mr. Nowak will provide the level of staff needed to effectively manage the contractor’s activities.
Serving as the prime CM firm on more than a dozen
projects within Coachella Valley, TYLin has gained
experience working closely with IID electrical transmission and distribution divisions; CVWD sewer, irrigation,
and potable water departments; and personnel that
monitor the CVSC. We have gained experience working
in challenging hot-weather and windy conditions, and
understand some materials in the region may not be
suitable for structure foundations or bike and roadway
construction and know when suitable material must be
imported.
Mr. Nowak is currently serving as the Resident Engineer and Structure Representative on the Dune Palms Road
Bridge project. To allow construction of the bridge within the alignment of the existing roadway, the project utilizes a temporary roadway shoo-fly and temporarily relocates IID distribution to the south within the CVSC. Additionally, Mr. Nowak is overseeing relocation of both water and
sewer services at each end of the project, as well as
relocation of existing dry utilities in the project footprint.

contractor problems and solutions. Mr. Nowak and
Mr. Durant are intimately familiar with Caltrans standards and specifications and the LAPM.
Their reviews will start with a field visit to understand field conditions and include a complete review of project plans, looking for conflict in details, or the constructability of the work within the actual constraints of the site. Additionally, the plans will be reviewed for “bid-ability” to assure
the contractor can be confident that the work is clearly defined, the quantities are accurate and all accounted for, thus reducing risk and yielding a lower bid. At times, if a contractor finds an error in the plans, instead of asking for clarification, they will lower a bid, knowing a contract change order will likely be required from which they will benefit. TYLin has already flown the alignment of the project and has captured video and photos of the project footprint with a drone (Figure 3). This information is always valuable when reviewing project plans and determining whether the design intent can be implemented considering actual field conditions that may have changed during plan development.
BID ADMINISTRATION AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
Figure 3. Drone images of AML project site.
Immediately following authorization, the TYLin Team
will begin the duties outlined as “Bid Administration
and Pre-Construction Assistance.” Primary duties
include conducting a thorough constructability review
of project plans at the 65%, 90%, and 100% level of
completion, creating a Construction Communication Plan, and reviewing all environmental permits and required
mitigations. Following advertisement, the team will assist with contractor bid administration, to assure all funding requirements are met in accordance with the Caltrans
Local Assistance Manual (LAPM) and the manual of Special Funded Projects.
Resident Engineer, Mr. Nowak and Scheduling and Claims
expert, Wade Durant, PE will lead the constructability
review effort. Both Mr. Nowak and Mr. Durant have over 30 years of road, highway, bridge, and related construction experience with a diverse range of projects. Every one
of these projects has included constructability reviews, whether a formal review prior to the start of work, or an ongoing weekly look-ahead review to anticipate potential

a balanced and competitive bid from all contractors. As one of the premier engineering design firms in California, TYLin has a depth of resources available for analyzing
plans and bid documents. Our CM team enjoys a symbiotic relationship with TYLin civil and structures designers, routinely exchanging ideas and seeking solutions to
challenging project issues. In addition, TYLin has a national cost estimating and risk management group within the CM sector that will be available to Mr. Nowak and Mr. Durant as they verify estimates and appropriate bid values.
TYLin has provided support to many agencies through the advertisement, pre-bid meeting, bidder questions and
addenda, bid opening, bid analysis, and recommendation
for award. The process is well defined in the Caltrans
Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) (Figure 5).
Additionally, Mr. Magaña with Magaña Consulting Services will assist the team with reviewing any specific funding requirements are implemented to assure all requirements are met prior to recommendation for award of the
construction contract.
Figure 5. TYLin and its subconsultants are all familiar with the Caltrans LAPM and processes.
Mr. Smith, Mr. Nowak, and Mr. Durant will work side-by-side with CVAG and the design engineers as questions come in during bid time. They will assist in validating questions from contractors and provide content for appropriate responses along with recommendations of where plans, specifications, and bid quantities must be revised. Time is of the essence when a project is out to bid, and our team will work as Project specifications will be reviewed to assure all project special situations or conditions are addressed and captured in bid quantities. This will provide the contractual muscle to the Resident Engineer to enforce the intentions of
CVAG and the cities. Typical issues may include allowed hours of work, accommodations for public traffic, or
advance notification requirements. Additionally, material specifications may need to be amended to account for
extreme desert weather conditions. Examples might
include concrete or hot mix asphalt (HMA) placement,
visibility of traffic cones and other control materials, limitations to sun exposure of plastic materials such as drainage pipe or wire, or application temperatures for
pavement striping.
Figure 4. Extreme heat caused thermoplastic melting. To prevent this, we will assure manufacturers provide necessary details for the application processes, including minimum and maximum temperature application, type of application method, thickness tolerances, and protection time before traffic allowed on the applied markings.
Project quantity estimate will be verified. A savvy
contractor will over-bid items that will likely over-run and under-bid items that will likely under-run. This practice is a form of unbalanced bidding and can occur on seemingly minor items such as temporary pavement striping. It is bad enough if the final quantity is twice the estimated amount, but when the contractor has increased his bid, knowing
that the quantity would over-run, the cost impacts are
significant. A confirmation of the estimated quantities will eliminate this opportunity for the contractor and assure Page 160 Item 16.

plan will inform and excite the public for the upcoming project and provide a proven framework to communicate
throughout the duration of the project. The TYLin Team
includes Connect and Company (Connect) to develop
and lead an effective outreach plan for the AML. The
plan will follow proven protocol used on the Avenue 66
Grade Separation Project in Mecca; the Herbert Hoover
Pedestrian Improvement Project with a Safe Routes for All outreach in Indio; and currently on the Dune Palms Bridge Replacement project with TYLin in La Quinta. The protocol includes:
many hours as necessary to allow CVAG to maintain timely responses to questions and the overall bid schedule.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Nowak will conduct the pre-bid meeting along with CVAG representatives and design personnel.
Exhibits will be created to clearly define the project and an agenda will be created for review and approval by CVAG
prior to issuance in the meeting invite.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach will be a critical component of the preconstruction activities. An effective project communication We’ve found that if we do the work to know our audience and make connections up front—fostering two-way open
communication with the public—our team is able to build trust and troubleshoot small problems before they escalate.
Project Pacing
Following this tested outreach protocol, we typically
spend a large chunk of time completing the first 4 steps shown above, followed by a groundbreaking event before
construction starts. As the project moves out of the startup phase, outreach moves into “maintenance mode” and our monthly budget reduces. The team remains ready to
ramp-up outreach efforts for traffic pattern changes, large paving operations or any outreach needs that come up as the project continues. When the project nears completion, Connect will start planning a unique, interesting, and safe ribbon cutting event, coordinating with local organizations and giving back to the community when possible.
Communications Plan
Connect will draw on the team’s years of experience
working with cities, public agencies, non-profits and on transportation infrastructure projects to design a unique, measurable and appropriate communications plan for the
AML.
Develop a targeted, measurable Construction Communications Plan in coordination with the client/CVAG.
Research key stakeholders and the target audience to develop and maintain a solid working database.
Reach out and host meetings early to inform key contacts (emergency services/key stakeholders) and to establish communication, address concerns, build trust, and tap into their network.
Complete boots-on-the-ground outreach to impacted residents and businesses (door-to-door, pop-up events, community events/meetings). This may occur in phases based on the construction schedule.
Provide timely, accurate and accessible information for the duration of the project using collateral with clear and concise text and simple graphics.
Respond immediately to questions and concerns; document resolution.
Serve as both a community resource and a liaison to the construction team representing public point of view.

COLLATERAL
Connect’s public outreach manager and in-house graphic
designer will develop and deliver clean and clear, English and Spanish collateral materials to meet the unique needs of the AML project. The Connect team will work closely
with the CM team and CVAG staff with approval processes in place to assure collateral are accurate and meet
expectations.
» Collateral could include a fact sheet, door hangers,
post cards, construction alerts, construction cards,
signs/banners, newsletters, advertisements,
PowerPoint presentations, project boards, etc.
» We will also develop and manage a webpage on the
CVAG website to provide the most updated information.
» Our team will create unique project social media pages and create weekly social posts with video photos and
will monitor the comments to respond if necessary.
» Connect can also manage social media boosting/
advertising if agreed upon with CVAG.
ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS AND
MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The TYLin Team includes ECORP to lead in understanding
all environmental restrictions and concerns and enforce the required mitigation. ECORP has assisted TYLin on
numerous projects in the lower desert over the past 10
years, including I-10/Jefferson Street Interchange, City of Indio Retrofits, and Dune Palms Road Bridge.
ECORP routinely assists clients in complying with
environmental conditions stipulated in regulatory
permits and/or agreements for specific projects, plans, and programs. Their team includes senior and expert
personnel with experience with the federal Clean Water
Act, Porter-Cologne Act, federal and state ESAs, the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the California Fish and Game Code. ECORP’s project managers and technical experts
routinely meet with regulatory agency personnel on site or in meetings to negotiate, review and discuss permit
conditions and the associated schedules, monitoring, and The plan will follow our protocol and include a
groundbreaking event, collateral development
and project start up; an emergency services and
stakeholder meeting; community meetings and/or popup events; ongoing outreach as the project progresses to different locations; and ongoing coordination with
emergency services, local cities, public information
officers (PIO) and City Engineers.
Connect will also include a media relations section
to engage local media through photo opportunities,
events or tours; and an emergency communications
plan that will include protocol about notifying and
speaking with the media, working with local PIOs and
internal emergency communications protocol.
Connect recently completed a project in the City
of Indio with the County Health Safe Routes for All
program and is incorporating the program into two
additional projects currently under construction. Our
team will coordinate with CVAG and County Health
to incorporate the non-infrastructure activities and
possible media opportunities.

Street. Project permits may require a 250-foot buffer
during breeding season and a 160-foot buffer during
non-breeding season (can vary depending on the
permit). CDFW coordination and concurrence to either
passively relocate the owls or negotiate a reduced
buffer may be required for work to occur in these areas adjacent to occupied owl habitat. Passive relocation
of burrowing owl typically can only occur outside of
their breeding season and requires the creation of a
Burrowing Owl Exclusion Plan for the project.
Nesting birds: Cliff swallows nest at many of the
bridges along the Whitewater River/CVSC. They
typically arrive in March and nest until the end of June/ beginning of July. There could be seasonal restrictions related to work occurring within a certain distance of
Dillon Road and Jefferson Street/La Quinta Bridges.
With other projects, it has been easier to avoid their
nesting season for those areas rather than implement
abatement measures.
Cultural
Our cultural resources team did a preliminary review and did not find any seasonal restrictions related to cultural or tribal resources other than weather which could affect the project schedule overall.
General
From ECORP’s knowledge and experience of projects in the area, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (typically in mid-April) can cause schedule delays due to traffic issues and restrictions upon limiting traffic in the area.
Each environmental permit must be closed to the
satisfaction of the issuing agency prior the completion of the project. ECORP specialists including biologists and archaeologists will review all important permits related to environmental compliance for this project and determine which requirements need to be met during project closeout. ECORP will conduct final site inspections and will provide the necessary final reports and annual reports to meet close-out conditions as required by project permits.
implementation. ECORP routinely assists with creation of a permit compliance matrix for clients.
ECORP’s compliance specialists prepare and implement
worker education programs in English and Spanish, conduct comprehensive pre-construction surveys, and monitor
during construction activities, as well as prepare the
associated survey and monitoring reports. The firm works closely with the client and the construction contractors to establish the correct timing, schedule, and level of effort required for both pre-construction surveys and
construction monitoring. ECORP’s compliance specialists and monitors are well-informed about all aspects of the projects and permit conditions prior to the implementation of the projects so they can ensure compliance with the
permit conditions. They also prepare the variety of plans typically required by permit conditions, such as Nesting Bird Management Plans, Protected Species Plans,
Habitat Restoration Plans, HMMPs, Invasive Plant Species Management Plans, and Conceptual Mitigation Packages.
ECORP’s biological monitors are also experienced in
conducting species relocation, monitoring the installation and maintenance of Best Management Practices (BMP) and
exclusion devices, and completing all reporting prior to the due dates listed in the permit conditions.
A cursory review of the project documents indicates the following potential environmental restrictions that may constrain the construction schedule:

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT - RESIDENT
ENGINEER
Following the award of the construction contract and prior to the first working day, Resident Engineer, Mr. Nowak, PE, will prepare the TYLin Team for the task of providing professional and consistent construction management.
Processes will be implemented, forms will be created,
recurring tasks will be identified and assigned with defined deadlines and deliverables. Mr. Nowak is perfectly suited for this role. As demonstrated by his wide variety of
experience, he has the ability to implement comprehensive QA, financial management, and communication practices,
while at the same time, working closely with the contractor in partnership to deliver the most practical and effective solutions to daily project challenges.
Prior to the Notice to Proceed (NTP), Mr. Nowak will
schedule a pre-construction meeting with the contractor and all stakeholders. Contract expectations will be clearly laid out during this meeting. Contractor responsibilities will be identified that conform with the Caltrans Construction Manual. Practices following a regular monthly schedule
throughout the contract with required deliverables will be defined and clearly communicated to the contractor, with defined responsibilities.
Typical recurring tasks throughout the project are listed below, with frequency, and responsibility identified:
the progress of the project and confirm the quality of
construction and the financial accuracy of all payments.
Following the Notice to Proceed (NTP), project pre-planning and preparation is complete, and it is “Go Time.” The
project moves forward per the contractor’s approved
baseline CPM schedule and a rhythm of daily, weekly, and monthly duties begins to develop. Local traffic impacts due to school schedules and music festivals will be factored into the contractor’s work schedule. As Resident Engineer, Mr.
Nowak will be responsible to confirm and assure that the contractor is meeting all contractual obligations, QA, and at the same time eliminating obstructions to project progress, partnering contribution.

documents slated for this level of review are CCOs/RFIs, monthly billing estimates and quantity sheets. Also periodic spot checking of daily documentation to ensure that the record of activities and work completed is well documented in writing and pictures at the Resident Engineer’s
discretion.
Submittals
The second segment of our QAP is the validation of our
submittal review process. TYLin has QA checklists for
various submittals set up to ensure that all aspects of a submittal have been checked and verified and the review has been conducted accurately and in its totality. Some examples of checklists for submittal review are: posttensioning shop drawing, falsework submittals, temporary shoring, MSE walls, pile placement plan, and concrete
mix designs. These QA checklists will be filled out by the reviewer and placed in the job files. When submittals are reviewed by a junior engineer, a licensed engineer will spot check their work and verify any comments.
Contractor Performance and Incorporated Materials
The third segment of our QAP is the inspection and
verification of all materials and work that occurs on the job site. We have modified our construction procedures manual to encompass all tasks associated with bridge and roadway related inspection work. This is the first line of reference to execute our tasked duties. This manual, coupled with the contract specifications and the agency’s governing
specifications, will ensure all work is inspected and verified to an acceptable level.
The utilization of our QAP will ensure a successfully
managed project and assure our clients that we are
correctly overseeing and controlling the project.
TYLin team members understand the importance of
delivering quality services and products for our clients.
Our team understands the connection between quality and cost control on a project, and we believe work must be
performed, inspected, and documented properly the first time to avoid errors and schedule delays to successfully deliver a project.
The practice of quality assurance is accomplished by review of the contractor’s submittals and field work to assure TYLin implements a quality control plan on all projects consisting of construction services that follow
recognized procedures including detailed checklists
and documentation that closely follow the Caltrans
Construction Manual. The first page of TYLin’s Construction Management Quality Assurance Plan summarizes our plan
as follows:
TYLin’s quality assurance program (QAP) is employed to
ensure a successful and correctly managed construction

challenges to the project. This priority will build trust between the contractor and the TYLin Team, resulting
in swift conflict resolution, fewer change orders, and a collaborative work environment.
As a good project partner, Mr. Nowak will work with the contractor and other stakeholders to resolve conflicts
and provide the contractor a path to continue his work
without delay or added effort. Some sources of conflict may include:
» Delayed utility relocations
» Differing site conditions
» Plan changes initiated by the owner
» Special public events
Reporting
Mr. Nowak will produce a monthly report to update CVAG
on the project status. The report will include the status of the project schedule, (days completed versus days
remaining), project budget, (dollars spent, versus dollars remaining), and percent of work completed to date. There will be a description of the location and type of work
completed during the past period, and the work expected to be completed during the upcoming period. The report
will also include a listing and status of all project change orders and any potential change orders, as well as a
discussion of current or anticipated project issues and any potential claims.
Construction Management - Construction Inspection
The TYLin team’s primary responsibility is to assure project plans and specifications, including all referenced standards, are safely performed in the field every day. This and
in-person oversight is performed by our field inspectors.
Typically, our field inspector will meet with the contractor’s field crews at the beginning of each shift and gain a clear understanding of the work planned for the day including what items of work are planned to be accomplished.
They will learn the names of the crew that is working, the the contractor’s Quality Control Plan is being followed. A sufficient level of qualified staffing needs to be maintained to meet the varying levels of work that is ongoing. A
proposed staffing plan is included in this proposal to reflect how CM staffing might be scheduled to meet a proposed
contractor work plan. However, Mr. Nowak will regularly review the workload facing his team and assign duties to qualified staff to confirm contractor adherence to project specifications.
TYLin’s workplan to assure compliance to the contract
standards is based on the Caltrans Construction Manual
and recognized professional practices to meet the needs of CVAG, the Cities of La Quinta, Coachella, Indio, RCTD, as well as residents and business owners.
Quality oversight duties of the Resident Engineer and CM team include:
» Project Safety
» Stormwater Compliance
» Contract Change Order
Control
» Submittal Review
» Material Testing
» Monthly Progress
Payments
» Traffic Control
» Environmental Compliance
» Payroll and DBE
Compliance
» RFI Review and Response
» Public Safety
» Impacts to Local Schools
Partnering
Whenever unforeseen conditions are discovered that could possibly impede the contractor’s work, it is Mr. Nowak’s project centered priority to help resolve the situation to eliminate, or minimize additional cost, or project delay.
These conditions are typically documented by a formal RFI from the contractor, but are initially identified by either the contractor, or the CM team. Most often these issues come to the attention of the team following careful review of project plans in anticipation of the upcoming work
considering potential impediments.
Along with implementing formal partnering in accordance with the project specifications, Mr. Nowak will demonstrate his “project first” priority and proactively work to address
Item 16.

conforming work that was corrected, any discussions with the contractor that were held, and any issues or potential issues that were encountered or anticipated. These daily diaries are the foundation of our QA oversight. Based on the daily activities, summary sheets are built to document material testing, monthly payments, Q-Sheets, payroll
monitoring, safety compliance, and tracking the beginnings of contract change orders.
Our Field Inspectors will provide daily photographs that document the existing status of landscaping, pavement,
concrete, and other facilities prior to construction activities.
If the contractor’s work unnecessarily damages existing facilities, the daily report will prove highly valuable in resolving any dispute by the contractor. Equally, the
contractor will be protected from false accusations if
existing conditions are sub-standard.
The material testing schedule is typically the responsibility of the contractor. Tests are required to be scheduled 48 hours in advance to assure that testers can be on site. Our Field Inspector will work with the contractor to be sure delays to testing avoid impacting the contractor’s schedule.
In the same way, he will also assure the contractor does not over-schedule testers for his convenience and impact the tester’s (and CVAG’s) budget.
All non-conforming work will be immediately
communicated to the contractor and asked to be removed
or corrected. It is typically corrected immediately; however, equipment that is to be used, any traffic control that will be implemented, any anticipated closures to roads or private access, what potential critical operations are anticipated, if specialty subcontractors are anticipated, what material testing is anticipated, and what full-time inspection will be required. A field inspector may be covering two or more different crews and need to alternate attention between different activities throughout the day. Field Inspectors will work with assistance of our Resident Engineer and
Office Engineer to ensure approved submittals are being followed and approved and accepted materials are being
incorporated into the work and plan changes are being
implemented.
Material testing will be scheduled in advance to assure materials are installed to the proper compaction and
grade, concrete is the approved mix design and within
specification for temperature and age, and HMA is the
approved mix design and placed per project specifications for temperature and compaction. In the event of full-time inspection for placement of concrete or HMA paving, the team will coordinate staffing to meet project requirements and assure contractor compliance.
The activities of each day of contractor work will be fully documented on inspector daily diaries. Daily diaries will include all contractor staff and equipment, the hours
worked, which items of work were performed, and the
limits of work. The quantities of work will be documented as well as any testing that was performed, any nonFigure 7. The planned dramatic outcome for the CV link will be achieved by daily, consistent, and professional oversight and construction management. Renderings courtesy of CVAG website.

PROJECT CLOSEOUT AND ACCEPTANCE:
As the project approaches completion, Mr. Nowak and
the team will begin the process of project closeout.
Material testing sheets will be reviewed to assure there are no outstanding NCRs, submittal and RFI logs will be reviewed for completeness, payroll logs will be reviewed for completeness, and a proposed final estimate will be compiled for the contractor’s review.
The contractor’s acceptance of the final estimate is his acknowledgement that he agrees to the payment for all the work performed including all change orders and claims.
Any outstanding payroll records will be submitted, and
potential liens will be released.
All maintenance and operation manuals will be confirmed to have been submitted. The final project walk will
generate a final punchlist. The Cities of La Quinta,
Coachella, and Indio will have input for their jurisdictions.
Once the work is satisfactorily completed, the project can be recommended for acceptance to CVAG.
when correction is delayed, our inspector will document the location and the issue with a non-conformance-report (NCR), which will require a specific and documented reinspection prior to acceptance of the work.
In addition to the daily ongoing items of work, our
inspectors will continually review traffic control, SWPPP compliance, and safety practices throughout the
project. Depending on the specific issue observed, the
inspector will direct the contractor to correct an infraction immediately, by the end of the day, or by the end of the week. These observations will be forwarded to Mr. Nowak to be noted and addressed at the weekly construction
progress meeting.

4. Work Plan
The CVAG Arts & Music Line:
The nexus of transportation
planning and the arts
The approach that informs our vision for the CVAG
Arts and Music Line (AML) Active Transportation
Plan (ATP) Non-Infrastructure Program is the nexus
of active transportation planning and the arts. If
infrastructure is the physical manifestation of the
AML, then the arts, education and encouragement
elements that define the Non-Infrastructure Program
are the cultural manifestation of the AML.
The CRA team knows the history of the AML; CRA
and Arellano Associates (AA) helped conduct
community engagement and supported the Caltrans
ATP Cycle 6 grant application submittal. The CRA
team recognizes the importance of the AML for
connecting transportation planning and the design
process, as well as changing people’s minds and
transportation choices.
The overarching goal of the AML is to improve
health and increase safe mobility for residents,
workers, students and visitors (particularly vulnerable populations reliant upon walking/biking for
transportation) to jobs, schools, and activity centers
through the AML. The AML will facilitate improved
public health, social equity, and provide other
important community benefits. The AML will be used
to achieve the following objectives:
A. Enhance multimodal neighborhood mobility
by strategically identifying street and sidewalk
connections, crossings, gaps, and identifying
how residents can better access businesses, retail
centers, schools, parks, recreational facilities, and
community services, through a seamless active
transportation network.
B. Improve active transportation safety by
exploring linkages of residences, schools, and
other activity centers via pedestrian and bicycle
corridors and the AML, assessing the conditions
of the streets and sidewalks connecting these
places, and by identifying countermeasures to
target the main causes of bicycle and pedestrianinvolved traffic collisions in the region.
C. Foster equitable, livable and healthy
communities by improving walking and bicycling
access to desired destinations, building upon
existing plans and public health programs that
not only identified destinations to implement
changes for social equity, but also provide the
framework to identify more destinations for future
work in expanding such initiatives. This project
focuses on providing people opportunities to
achieve a healthier lifestyle and create a sense
of community using pedestrian and bicycle
infrastructure with the AML.
Coachella Valley has experienced a steady growth
over the last fifteen years that has increased vehicular traffic, collisions, and air pollution. The AML ATP
Non-Infrastructure Program (AML NI Program)
focuses on moving youth, seniors, and the mobilitychallenged community to parks and activity centers including recreation centers, schools, and commercial
centers. The AML NI Program also incorporates arts
into the design of the AML and will deploy active
transportation education curriculum and community
encouragement campaigns. The scope, scale, and
holistic approach of the AML has the potential to
be highly transformative for residents, visitors, and
businesses with impacts and effects far reaching
throughout the Coachella Valley.
Item 16.
p / 12 RESPONSE TO CVAG - AML ATP NI PROGRAM
ASSOCIATES PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES 2023.150 2023.150 4. Work Plan
The construction of the AML will create a high
quality pedestrian and bicycle corridor through
Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, and unincorporated
Riverside County. The AML will connect to eleven
schools from the Desert Sands Unified and Coachella
Valley Unified School Districts, the Coachella Valley
Link (CV Link, the regional multi-use trail) and Bear
Creek Trail, as well as connections to nine different
neighborhoods and community parks including
Rancho Las Flores Park, Dr. Carreon Park, Hijorth Park, Saguaro Park, La Quinta Park, De Oro Park, Shields
Park, South Jackson Park, and Civic Center Campus.
CRA will work with staff to determine a clear set of
performance metrics that will be tracked through a
two-year arts, education and awareness program with
the goal of creating a system for measuring mode
shift and active transportation change over time in
the Coachella Valley. At the center of this curriculum
is a community-wide bicyclist and pedestrian safety
and education awareness campaign that will include
instructional activities throughout the community
reaching students, residents, visitors, commuters, and
other community stakeholders. The CRA team will
leverage its relationships it has built with Desert Sands Unified and Coachella Valley Unified, as well as the 11 schools making up the project area, through outreach
in the community in 2021 and 2022 and through
other CVAG projects.
DESIRED OUTCOMES OF THE AML
The AML’s origins come from the communities of
Coachella, Indio, and La Quinta, CVAG, area schools,
and other stakeholders. They have expressed the
desired outcomes of the AML, which we understand
to be:
Access to amenities of daily life through active
transportation (parks, grocery stores, pharmacies,
employment, etc.)
Active transportation safety and enjoyment
Community/public health through active
transportation
Educational and skill development of students
and the broader community about active
transportation and the arts
Promotion and support for the arts
Positive experience in communities’ relationship
with public agencies through collaboration
Enhancing the icon of Coachella Valley as an arts
destination
Improved aesthetic experience of Avenue 48 and
the “spurs” connecting to project area schools
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through
increasing active transportation
The AML’s NI Program will contribute to the identity
of the region as an arts destination and draw
people from all over the world. The AML is a tool
for capitalizing on state, national and international
interest in the Coachella Valley. While there are many
positive economic benefits to hosting the Coachella
and Stagecoach festivals, there are also environmental
impacts to the Valley. CRA will work with CVAG to
collaborate with each festival’s organizers to develop
an active transportation plan to improve mobility
options during the periods when festivals are being
held, with materials that will encourage festivalgoers
to use active transportation while attending. As is the case with cities who have seasonal influxes of visitors due to regularly scheduled and seasonal events, the
AML is a strategy to address the transportation and
arts needs of communities throughout the year, and
visitors on festival occasions.
Scope of Work
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
& ADMINISTRATION
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
CRA Project Manager, Jenny An, will organize
and facilitate the AML NI Program project kick-off
meeting. That meeting will establish project
direction, communication protocols, and refine the
project schedule and scope. The kickoff meeting will
introduce the approach and plan for outreach and
engagement, data collection and analysis, as well as
the preparation of associated public facing materials
including the project promotion toolkit, maps, and
visuals. A meeting agenda will be submitted by CRA
in advance of the kickoff meeting and presumably
include a review of the project scope, budget,
schedule, establish a bi-weekly check in meeting, and
Item 16.
p / 13 RESPONSE TO CVAG - AML ATP NI PROGRAM
ASSOCIATES PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES 2023.150 2023.150 4. Work Plan
a preliminary discussion of branding, project look and
feel, and communication protocols. After the kickoff
meeting, CRA will develop and submit minutes within
five business days focusing on key decisions, action
items, and next steps.
Jenny will maintain a detailed project schedule and
budget consistent with this proposal (pending any
changes at the kickoff meeting), with careful attention to the allocation of resources and control over task
execution. CRA has proposed a schedule (see GANTT
Chart at the end of this section) to establish a logical task sequencing including outreach activities, which
will be further refined in the opening month of the
project. The CRA team has led many projects of this
scale, vision, and scope, and has the multidisciplinary staff to deliver.
CRA recognizes the importance of presenting
detailed and technical materials in an intuitive and
aesthetically attractive format to the public. After the schedule has been confirmed at the kickoff meeting,
CRA will develop a simplified version of the project
schedule for use in the Promotional Toolkit, for the
purpose of public presentation.
CRA and CVAG will hold biweekly, primarily virtual
meetings with partner agencies and stakeholders.
In addition to these regular meetings, CRA will
support and facilitate meetings of the existing
Ad Hoc Committee and other already-committed
stakeholders with the goal of maintaining existing
AML public outreach providing continuity for the
AML NI Program. Additionally, CRA will assemble
and maintain a list of AML stakeholders. This list
begins with the Ad Hoc Committee and currently
active stakeholders and will be further developed
as the AML reaches more people within the project
area communities and people throughout the cities
of the Coachella Valley. The AML NI Program is
ambitious to a degree that knowledge of it could
become a household conversation, and thus we
expect stakeholder interest to increase qualitatively
and quantitatively. AA will recruit participants for the Stakeholder Advisory Group from the stakeholder
pool, City staff, and potentially from other communitybased organizations in underserved communities. The CRA team will prepare Stakeholder Advisory Group
meeting invitations and track invitations and RSVPs.
CRA will facilitate 8 meetings with the Ad Hoc
Committee, Transportation, and Executive
Committees. To inform as well as draw upon assets
within CVAG, CRA will make presentations to
CVAG’s Transportation Committee meetings and
Executive Committee meetings throughout the
three-year duration of the AML NI Program at key
decision making points. The CRA team will prepare
presentation content related to outreach efforts for
Transportation, Executive, and Ad Hoc Committee,
and other stakeholder meetings.

TASK 2: COMMUNITY
OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Prior engagement on the AML has been extensive,
robust, and impressive and this is the foundation of
the AML since 2018. The Ad Hoc Committee and
active stakeholders comprising the Stakeholder
Advisory Group will continue to be engaged and
will include community-based organizations (CBOs),
schools, communities in the project area including
families living in affordable housing. The diversity of publics engaged in the AML includes generational
diversity, which has been facilitated by intentional
collaboration with institutions and organizations for
the young and elderly. The Stakeholder Advisory
Group is best positioned for understanding how,
when, and where outreach in the project area will be
most effective, and whose networks will be a vital
Item 16.

asset for achieving broad-based public engagement.
AA has been our engagement partner on the
AML throughout the earlier phases of the project.
Continuity and a track record of successful
collaboration with CVAG is a major asset that we
bring to the project. We have already achieved
project collaboration efficiencies – relationships,
communication protocols, and unparalleled project
understanding – that allow us to hit the ground
running with CVAG.
TASK 2.1: OUTREACH AND
ENGAGEMENT PLAN
CRA and AA, in collaboration with the stakeholder
group, will launch a new phase of outreach and
community engagement for the AML NI Program,
leading to the creation of an Outreach and
Engagement Plan (OEP) (draft and final). AA, with
input from CVAG, will prepare a detailed OEP that will
include parks’ and recreation centers’ information as
well as data from the technical team and community
engagement events throughout the development of
the AML NI Program. This OEP will identify outreach
methods and activities, as well as new stakeholders
to engage including students, residents, advocates,
and CBOs not previously involved in the project.
The OEP will consist of a strategy to fully engage
disadvantaged communities, including outreach in
multiple languages and through nontraditional means
to reach groups that may not typically participate
in the urban planning process. The OEP, utilizing
AML branding and visual approved as part of the
Promotional Toolkit (see examples below), will present
engagement dates informed by the Coachella Valley
communities. Schedules will include established
community events as well as potential events at ideal
locations for community engagement. The OEP will
include timeline and strategies for how to integrate
the project promotion and outreach events including
up to 22 pop-up events, 10 community events,
participatory challenges such as Bike to Work Day,
Bike to Work Month, or National Walk and Bike to
School Day. The Project will also work integrate the
SCAG Go Human toolkit for demonstration/safety
education classes/assemblies.
The OEP schedule will also be informed by the
academic calendar as part of the school-based
programs associated with the AML NI Program.
Outreach and engagement events will also be timed
with families’ working schedules and availability in
mind. The activities and materials of engagement
will be in formats appealing to the community, and
with an understanding of diverse learning styles for
widespread appeal. The goals for each outreach
activity will be defined by the project leadership,
informed by local communities and stakeholders.
A key piece of the OEP will be ongoing surveying
throughout all engagement activities for the duration
of the project. A paper and online survey tool will
be promoted at events, on the project website,
and distributed via all available electronic means of
communication (email, social media outlets).
The input generated through outreach will be
documented as part of the project process. The
input we hear from community members and other
stakeholders will continually inform the project as
it develops, particularly in terms of the conceptual
development of the educational curricula and
encouragement campaigns, the aesthetic/artistic
development of the AML, and subsequent outreach
opportunities and methods. As part of the initial
review of contacts AA will identify missing key
stakeholders in the communities of the project area
and recommend their inclusion in the project contacts
database. Identified groups will be considered
for specific targeted notification and engagement
during the outreach process. AA will maintain the
database throughout the Project and add contacts
as stakeholders join the project’s electronic mailing
list. The totality of the OEP along with the database
of stakeholders and their input will be reported in
an Appendix of Program Evaluation Report. This
information will also inform CVAG and advisory
committees, as appropriate.
TASK 2.2: PROJECT PROMOTION
At the onset of the project, CRA and AA will develop
a branding and style guide for use in the AML
Communications and Promotions Toolkit. This will
include branding and a project logo that refers to
the aesthetics of the natural beauty of the Coachella
Valley as well as the centrality of the arts to the region and to the AML NI Program. CRA’s graphic designer
will produce copy of public facing materials (draft
Item 16.
p / 15 RESPONSE TO CVAG - AML ATP NI PROGRAM
ASSOCIATES PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES 2023.150 2023.150 4. Work Plan
and final) that can be presented in multiple forms (for screen viewing, physical copies, etc.) and through a
diversity of outlets (traditional media, online/social
media, and local media including school newspapers/
newsletters, etc.). Project promotion is essential
to inform stakeholders about the AML clearly and
coherently. The CRA team are experienced in
developing various strategies and collateral materials
based on and tailored to the needs of the project.
All materials will be translated into Spanish, following English content approval. The Communications and
Promotions Toolkit will present a plan for the strategic targeting of audiences, scheduled according to the
timing of engagement events, and according to
project milestones. The following materials will be
developed:
Project Branding: AA will create visually
engaging project branding in alignment to
enhance project recognition and resonance. CRA
and AA will listen closely to the community about
the brand identity of the AML NI Program, such
that it will be context-sensitive and appealing
to residents and visitors alike. The brand will
reference the region as an icon of arts and
music, as a region that supports the arts from
within (uplifting local artists) and from without
(showcasing talent from beyond the Coachella
Valley). Materials utilizing project branding will
include promotional items, tabling materials
including posters, banners, or tablecloths. AA will
work with the Project Team to ensure graphics are
consistent with the CVAG’s branding guidelines.
Communications and Promotional Toolkits:
AA will develop two Communications and
Promotional Toolkits, one for schools and
one for employers. The Toolkits will focus on
encouraging participation and feedback from
program partners and participants. Anticipated
partners include Riverside County Public Health,
Coachella Valley and Desert Sands Unified School
Districts, Cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta,
and Riverside County. Public facing materials will
be bilingual (English and Spanish) and include
an 11x17 poster, postcards, online/paper survey,
data gathering tools, and other items.
Social Media: AA will develop, at minimum,
one social media post per month that can be
shared across social media platforms for CVAG
and partner cities’ accounts. Posts will be visually
appealing, informational, and provided in both
English and Spanish.
Project Website: AA will develop a project
website for the AML NI Program to promote
outreach and education materials, document
activities, promote community events,
participatory challenges, pop-ups, walk audits,
and to facilitate data gathering for the AML
NI Program. AA will host the website and
post information about the project timeline,
background information, and toolkit resources.
There will also be opportunities to solicit
feedback from visitors on various elements of the
project. The website will also allow stakeholders
to submit feedback without attending outreach
events. It could include a simple online
mapping tool to identify current barriers and
recommendations for suggested improvements
around a given park, school, or community
activity site, and allow the ability to rank
improvements. Other interactive website activities
will be developed in coordination with CVAG and
the technical team.
Traditional Media: AA will develop promotion for
radio, door to door notification, and telephone
and SMS campaign in coordination with CVAG.
Youth Focused: The project team will work with
schools, recreation centers, public works, and
parks and recreation departments in the partner
cities to promote the project website and AML NI
program. The project website will be promoted
through each of the project schools through
school newsletters.
Employer Focused: The project team will work
with employers, the Greater Coachella Valley
Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses to
promote the project website and AML program.
Additionally, “business cards” which will contain
a high-level summary of the project, the project’s
web address and a QR Code will be handed
out at the outreach events. At the conclusion of
the survey period, the Consultant will prepare a
Item 16.

memorandum outlining the findings of the virtual
engagement platform.
TASK 2 DELIVERABLES
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Project Contact Database
• Communications and Promotional Toolkits
and collateral materials
TASK 3: EDUCATION AND
ENCOURAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
AA will plan and lead engagement events for this
program. This will include pop-up events, community
events, and participatory challenges such as Bike
to Work Day, Bike to Work Month, and National
Walk and Bike to School Day. Outreach at these
events will be conducted to promote the AML NI
Program and gather data from the community about
opportunities and challenges of active transportation
in the Coachella Valley. As part of all outreach events, active transportation incentives (such as merchandise,
bicycle helmets, lights and bells) will be incorporated to encourage participation.
TASK 3.1: COMMUNITY PARTNER
COORDINATION
To encourage participation and increase program
awareness, AA will utilize extended outreach
through community partners. AA will collaborate
with CBOs who will be compensated to implement
the notification plan utilizing their local networks
and communication tools. CBO partners will be
confirmed and on-boarded during the development
of the outreach and engagement plan and will
be asked to support outreach notification, host
or support facilitation at community events, and
serve as strategic advisors. AA will identify potential CBOs based on their proximity and relationship to
stakeholders within the project corridor, their interest in active transportation projects, and/or their ability to provide a local event venue to meet people where
they are already going. A potential partner includes
the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, who can
assist with notifying stakeholders in their communities via pop-up events or by distributing door-hangers.
ASSUMPTIONS
All collateral and notification materials will be
translated into Spanish
CVAG will share branding guidelines
Technical consultants will contribute to the
content of outreach materials
Technical consultants will prepare maps and other
technical materials
TASK 3.2: POP-UP EVENTS
The intent of pop-up events is to connect projectspecific engagement with standing community functions, meetings, and events which have existing
audiences and participants. Pop-up events add great
value to the engagement process because it enables
the project to connect and interface with individuals
who may have meaningful input, but would not
have otherwise been interested in participating in
standalone project events. For this project, pop-up
events may include a safety demonstration events
(e.g., teaching riders how to properly navigate
across streets), bicycle rodeos, bicycle skills classes, bike safety assemblies, safety events in partnership
with local fire and police departments. All pop-ups
will have raffles and giveaways related to active
transportation to incentivize participation. Outreach
will integrate existing events such as at the Tamale
Festival and Date Festival, as well as coordination
with music and arts festivals (e.g., Coachella and
Stagecoach festivals).
TASK 3.3: COMMUNITY EVENTS
AA will organize and lead ten (10) community events.
This may include bike rides/trains, walking tours or
walking school buses to help educate the community
on roadway safety. The outreach team will engage
with local schools, the YMCA, and Boys and Girls
Clubs to promote safety and awareness to the youth
population. In addition, AA will collaborate with CBO
partners to assist with promoting the community
events to their audiences. The outreach team will
also seek to partner with the American Automobile
Association (AAA) on their bike safety program.

p / 17 RESPONSE TO CVAG - AML ATP NI PROGRAM
ASSOCIATES PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES 2023.150 2023.150 4. Work Plan
Tabling at pop-ups and community events will involve
project materials dissemination, appealing visuals,
snacks and water, shade, and the opportunity to
provide input on the AML NI Program via a survey
or conversations with facilitators present . Promotion
of the AML NI Program and events associated with
the engagement campaign will also occur on public
kiosks and in parking lots associated with community
and arts events, through electronic communications
means (messaging through SMS and robocalls), and
through advertisements on radio stations such as
KCRI, KVRA, KKUU, and KPST.
The AML NI Program collaboration with area music
and arts festivals is a key part of the engagement
plan as it supplies the opportunity to simultaneously
address the needs of festival organizers (with regard
to transportation demand and environmental impact)
as well the needs of local communities and the
project team who are seeking the support of festival
organizers and festivalgoers alike. With AA, CRA will
lead in the planning and operations of bicycle services at music festivals of Coachella and Stagecoach,
specifically by offering bike valet services as well as bicycle maintenance services for festivalgoers. As
we elaborate in the Innovations section below, we
foresee student involvement in the festival’s bike
elements in the form of assisting with bike valet and
assisting with bicycle maintenance (the skills for which students will develop as part of the bicycle mechanics
after-school program).
TASK 3.4: COMMUNITY CHALLENGES
The project team will help organize and promote two
community participatory challenge events, such as a
Bike to Work Day, Bike to Work Month, or National
Walk and Bike to School Day. The goal of the these
activities is to ignite a sense of enthusiasm within
the community for walking and biking activities on
one designated day. AA will explore multifaceted
strategies including sustained promotional
efforts, enticing raffles, and thoughtful giveaways.
Collaborations with local businesses will be explored
to provide attractive incentives, while also considering partnerships with employers to offer participationbased rewards. AA will prepare a media toolkit for local news stations to promote the challenges.
TASK 3.5: ARTS PROGRAM AND BIKE
MECHANICS COURSE
CRA will collaborate with school’s art programs and
look for opportunities to incorporate art into the
AML project. This will include coordination with
arts instructors, students, administators to secure
and incorporate art work into the project procss for
marketing, visual materials.
The project team will work with CVAG to collaborate
with music festival organizers to incorporate bicycle
services. CRA will coordinate with a volunteer-run
community bike repair shop to teach youth how to
repair bikes and to educate interested community
members on the the fundamentals of establishing
and maintaining a volunteer-run repair shop that
serves as a cooperative community space. To create
efficiencies, the Team recommends collaborating
with organizations with experience to utilize and
build upon existing curriculum and models. This
approach seeks to learn from proven models of
success and is anticipated to help the CVAG region
establish similar sustainable models and programs.

TASK 4: EVALUATION AND
ASSESSMENT
TASK 4.1: GIS DATA COLLECTION
CRA -- in coordination with CVAG, the Stakeholder
Advisory Group, school districts and schools, the
County, the Cities of Coachella, Indio, and La
Quinta, and our project partners AA -- will conduct
an inventory of project area physical conditions and
assets of the project area, the neighborhoods of the
project area and proximate neighborhoods, areas
including the 11 schools that are part of the AML NI
Program. The elements of the built environment that
will be studied include sidewalks, street crossings,
bus stops, and bikeways/bicycle infrastructure. Our
analysis will include data on commercial and retail
establishments, community spaces, parks, community
centers, and religious facilities. Data collected will be relevant to metrics associated with Safe Routes To
School, Safe Routes To Parks, and Safe Routes For
Seniors planning and programs (see Task 5).
CRA will develop GIS maps using available data
sources and some inventory for each of the 11
school’s surrounding areas and the Empire Polo Fields
(where both Coachella and Stagecoach festivals are
held), displaying their mobility networks (including
street system, bikeways, sidewalks or missing sidewalk
locations, and bus stops). The maps will highlight key
land uses, destinations, and other points of interest.
Neighborhood boundaries, school enrollment areas,
and/or other potentially informative administrative
boundaries will also be displayed.
The maps will be used in the subsequent technical
tasks and products of this study, including the collision analysis (Task 4.2), mobility assessments (Task 4.4),
existing conditions (Task 4.6), and recommendations
maps (Task 5).

TASK 4.2: BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
COLLISION ANALYSIS
CRA will analyze a period of five years of recent
pedestrian and bicycle collision history in the cities of the study area (which include the 11 schools served
by the AML) using the client’s preferred source of
data, though if not otherwise specified then SWITRS/
TIMS records. The analysis will help identify trends,
issues, high collision locations, common collision
causes, and help determine which user group(s), if
any, are disproportionately represented among the
collisions. The findings will be presented on collision maps and supporting tables and summarized in a
technical memo according to Caltrans ATP guidelines.
The following attributes will be summarized by
frequency:
Intersection and segment locations
Worst injury outcome
Party at-fault
Primary Collision Factors and/or CA Vehicle Code
violations
Findings from collision analysis will be examined in
relationship to other technical analysis performed as
a part of this scope, including the existing conditions, bike/walk audits, and multimodal and summarized
in a technical memorandum (draft and final). The
project team will determine collision exposure
rates from crash frequencies and AADT (derived
from multimodal counts and “Big Data”, see Task
4.3), and assess those local conditions relative to
regional, state, and national rates and benchmarks;
this comparative section of the analysis will be
summarized into a scorecard of roadway health. CRA
can monitor collisions post-project during the lifespan of the study, with the caveat that making conclusions
about safety effects would require additional years
of collection. One helpful strategy for post-project
monitoring can be for the project team to set up an
online collision GIS map with capabilities to filter,
visualize and summarize the data by key attributes.
CRA can provide guidance to CVAG on how to
maintain this resource and update on an annual basis
with new records to assist with post-project safety
monitoring.

TASK 4.3: MULTIMODAL COUNTS
CRA will commission 24-hour multimodal roadway
segment/mid-block active transportation counts at
up to 45 locations. These include the AML “spurs”
leading to the project area schools (11 counts),
Avenue 48 between major intersections (10 counts),
at the 10 highest frequency collision locations (10
counts, Task 4.2), and at each of the two festivals (4
counts). Other locations will be chosen based on
results from Existing Conditions facility locations (z
10 counts, Task 4.6). We will deploy 24-hour counts
because they eliminate the necessity of extrapolation
relative to peak rates. Existing Conditions facility
locations will also influence the number of counts.
CRA will collect mode share data pre- and post-AML
construction. CRA will present our analysis of count
data by mode converted to annual average daily trips
(AADT) for collision analysis, and provided in tabular
and GIS data formats. To help estimate activity rates
in areas where count data is not collected, CRA will
use location-based services data (otherwise known
as “Big Data”) to extrapolate pedestrian and bicycle
volumes in other parts of the study area. CRA will use
ReplicaHQ to retrieve pedestrian and bicycling data,
to supplement the counts for the development of
the AADT estimates needed to determine exposure
rates for pedestrian and bicycle collisions. The use
of Big Data can also assist with post-project activity
monitoring.

TASK 4.4: MOBILITY ASSESSMENTS
CRA will observe mobility conditions in the field at the 11 schools of the project area and the Empire Polo
Club that hosts the Coachella and Stagecoach music
and arts festivals. Mobility Assessments will include
Pedestrian Environment Quality Evaluation (PEQE)
as part of the analysis of pedestrian conditions, and
Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) as part of the analysis of bicycling conditions.
During visits to each school, CRA will canvass the
area surrounding the school, documenting the
attributes and deficiencies of transportation assets,
infrastructure, and presence of other support features
(crossing guards, school chaperons, etc.) next to
each school. Trip activity, routines and other travel
behavior which occur during pick-up and drop-off
periods will also be observed. During visits, CRA
will meet with administrators deeply familiar with
the school’s transportation issues to supplement our
understanding.
Similar efforts will be undertaken to do mobility
assessments at the Empire Polo Club, and in
coordination with festival organizers. In Year 1, CRA
will canvass the areas surrounding access to the
Empire Polo Club, documenting transportation assets
and infrastructure. Trip activity and festivalgoers’
routines will be observed. In Year 2, CRA, in
coordination with festival organizers, will deploy
a transportation plan and maps to test new active
transportation access to the festivals.
The information gathered to produce brief mobility
assessment reports for each school and the festival

students, parents, and educators, they are an
educational experience as participants learn how
to make systematic observations of roads and AT
infrastructure, and they contribute vital data for
understanding current AT conditions in the project
area.

As a result, our project schedules consider time for
quality control and document revisions prior to each
submittal.
SPECIAL ISSUES OR PROBLEMS AND
HOW THESE WILL BE ADDRESSED
The challenges we identify with the AML NI
Program are associated with its ambitious scope
and associated numerous elements to manage. It
will take a team of experienced active transportation
professionals spanning multiple disciplines to
successfully manage this project so that it meets its
goals and desired outcomes. With our partners AA,
we present to CVAG a team assembled and equipped
to handle this exciting and ambitious project.
We are inspired by the ways in which public and
community engagement has already developed and
want to contribute our hands to the AML effort. The
complexity of this project is the greatest challenge,
but with our collective resources and assets, those
challenges will not be insurmountable.
ENHANCEMENTS OR PROCEDURAL OR
TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS (OPTIONAL)
CRA professionals express a scientific disposition to
our projects, while also bringing artistic sensibilities forward as well. The AML project, occupying the
nexus of transportation planning and the arts,
supplies the opportunity for CRA to apply our insights
and perspectives across a broad range of issues that
the AML contains. For this reason, CRA is excited
by the current structure of the AML NI Program as
presented in the RFP. In the process of preparing our
response, CRA developed additional enhancements
and innovations that we present for CVAG’s
consideration. They are:
AML Promotional materials commissioned from
student artists/musicians/videographers
As the project develops and word of the AML
spreads through our various engagement events,
the AML can become the inspiration for the
creation of artworks. The education program
discussed above could include commissioning
artworks about the AML and AT from local
student artists/musicians.
After-school Bicycle Mechanics course
We see tremendous value and potential
in helping to establish an after-school bike
mechanics course as part of the education and
encourage element of the public engagement
of the AML NI Program. This would also serve
as an opportunity for local professional bicycle
mechanics to collaborate with schools and
educators in developing a bicycle mechanics
curriculum.
Students working at Bike Valet and Bicycle
Maintenance at Music Festivals
As part of the educational element of the AML
NI Program, students in the bicycle mechanics
course will have the opportunity to apply
what they are learning to serve festivalgoers
with bicycle needs. The reward for taking this
opportunity is free access to the festival.

As per the City’s Purchasing Procedures and Regulations all purchases in excess of $25,000 require City Council approval and completion of a formal bid process. A cooperative purchasing agency (Sourcewell) has completed a formal bid process and awarded the bid to USA Shade the shade replacement services required at these locations. Staff is recommending authorizing the City Manager to sign and award the attached proposals to allow for the procurement and installation of these fabric shade panels.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is requesting an allocation of $158,757.40 from unallocated general funds to the park division, for the fabric replacement panels. These funds will be eligible for reimbursement through the FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program (process is ongoing).

If addi�onal Concealed Condi�ons are discovered once work has commenced, which were not visible at the �me this proposal was bid, Company will stop work and indicate these unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons to Purchaser or Owner so that Purchaser and Company can execute a Change Order for any addi�onal work. In any event, any damage caused by or to unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and Company shall not be held liable for any such damage.

If addi�onal Concealed Condi�ons are discovered once work has commenced, which were not visible at the �me this proposal was bid, Company will stop work and indicate these unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons to Purchaser or Owner so that Purchaser and Company can execute a Change Order for any addi�onal work. In any event, any damage caused by or to unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and Company shall not be held liable for any such damage. Soil condi�ons are assumed to be soil that does not contain any water, hard rock (such as limestone, caliche, etc.), rocks larger than 4 inches in diameter, or any other condi�on that will require addi�onal labor, equipment and/or materials not specified by the Purchaser or Owner in the bidding process.

If addi�onal Concealed Condi�ons are discovered once work has commenced, which were not visible at the �me this proposal was bid, Company will stop work and indicate these unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons to Purchaser or Owner so that Purchaser and Company can execute a Change Order for any addi�onal work. In any event, any damage caused by or to unforeseen Concealed Condi�ons is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and Company shall not be held liable for any such damage.
