Service Areas
Planning
JMD develops planning studies for a host of
transportation and land development projects.

Planning studies for transportation projects include the development of project study reports and project
reports related to highway projects involving railroads and State agencies such as Caltrans. JMD
professionals are very familiar with Caltrans project
development procedures, standards and requirements
for State highways. In addition, JMD assists local
agencies with funding applications in accordance with
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and
Caltrans/FHWA requirements.

JMD also prepares feasibility studies for a variety of
projects including roadway and rail corridor projects
including rail/highway grade separations as well as
grade crossing safety and quiet zone projects requiring careful coordination with multiple stakeholders and
sensitive agencies, railroads and communities. JMD
staff is also experienced in the development of traffic studies for site development and transportation
projects. JMD staff have prepared traffic impact studies for land development projects including commercial,
residential, school and large resort projects. These
studies include traffic impact, access, circulation and parking studies.

Engineering
JMD offers expertise in several areas of civil
engineering including highway, land development, rail,
traffic and transit engineering. JMD’s experience
includes the development of plans, specifications and
estimates for a variety of facilities including freeways, roadways, streetscapes, traffic signals, lighting
systems, light rail corridors, railroads, grade crossings and development sites. These projects have required
JMD’s expertise in roadway, grading, drainage, utility, signing & striping, traffic signals, lighting, traffic control, grade crossing, transit and track alignment design.

Management
JMD provides three types of management services,
namely, project management, construction
management and program management. JMD
provides project and program management services to
public agencies in the development of transportation
projects. These services include assisting local
agencies in applying for State and local funding for the development of public works projects including
roadway, trackwork and rail/highway grade separation
projects.

Corporate Stability
JMD is a growing engineering firm properly managed
to maintain stability, innovation, cost effectiveness and responsiveness. Stability is assured through managed
growth whereby resources are made available to meet
client needs. Cost effectiveness is made possible by
effectively monitoring resources and expenses and
passing on achieved savings to clients by way of
offering the lowest overhead costs in the industry. Most importantly, is responsiveness which is made possible
through effective project management and
commitment to meeting project objectives within
schedule and budget. The net result is a successful
organization, growing through repeat business,
leading projects as a prime consultant and successfully competing with the largest firms in the nation.

JMD is financially strong, with minimal debt, and
without bankruptcy, pending litigation, planned office
closures and impending mergers. Most importantly,
JMD’s strength in completing this project is reinforced by its clients who seek responsiveness regardless of
size. In fact, JMD is currently completing projects for clients who have not been fully satisfied by the work of larger firms.

Financial Condition
Incorporated in 2005, JMDiaz, Inc. (JMD) is 100%
Hispanic-owned by Juan M. Diaz, the firm’s Chief
Executive Officer. JMD is in good standing with
the California Secretary of State and is not a subsidiary of any other firm or entity. In addition, JMD is financially strong, with minimal debt and without bankruptcy,
pending litigation, outstanding claims, planned office
closures and impending mergers. In addition, JMD’s
Dun and Bradstreet Class 1 credit rating of 2R3 is
considered a strong credit rating.

JMD’s strength in completing the subject RFP scope of
services is reinforced by its increasing project contract values currently yielding nearly $4,000,000 in fees
annually. Most importantly, however, is JMD’s earned
trust among its clients who seek responsiveness and
competence regardless of size of firm. In fact, JMD has been retained by several agencies to complete

Proposal to Provide Aquatic Facility Construction Consultant Services Covering the City of Compton Pools
III. Project Understanding, Approach and Scope of Services Project Understanding and Approach
JMD will provide professional engineering support for
aquatic facility construction consultant services
covering the City of Compton pools. JMD will prepare
a Design Build Proposal for upgrades at Gonzales
Park Pool and Lueders Park Pool. The proposal will
be broken down into Phase I and Phase II.

Improvements under Phase I shall be completed and
open for public use during summertime and initiate
improvements for Phase II during end of summer 2024.

JMD Staff will also provide support during bidding
process, responses to RFI’s, review of proposal’s and
assist in selection process.

Management Plan
JMD’s Management Plan, applicable to on-site and offsite tasks, consists of three primary components, namely, People Management, Project Management,
and Quality Management. The first focuses on leading
the team to achieve the desired project objectives. The latter two consist of using appropriate project controls to effectively manage the project deliverables,
schedule and budget. A typical project would be
managed in accordance with each component to meet
the City’s objectives in a timely manner. Each one of
these components is briefly discussed below.

People Management
People management consists of team leadership
through effective planning, staffing, and
communication as discussed below.

Planning
After our kickoff meeting with the City, we will hold an internal team meeting to discuss the project’s
objectives, milestones, staffing needs, schedule, and
task responsibilities. Our goal will be to establish a
realistic plan to meet all project requirements.

Staffing
JMD is committed to delivering quality and timely
services within the City’s time and budget goals. We
have provided sufficient resource capacity to perform
the project or tasks in a timely manner, and confirm that the key personnel proposed for the project will be
available for the duration of the project. Currently, our work level is estimated at approximately 60 percent of
capacity over the anticipated life of this project. Mr.

Solanki, our proposed Project Manager is available
over 60 percent of his time during the next 12 months.

Key Team Member Availability
(%)
Deepak Solanki 60%
Juan M. Diaz, MBA, PE 60%
Algis J. Marciuska, MBA, PE 60%
Jasmine Felix 70%
* Beginning March 1, 2024
During our internal team meeting, we will prepare a
team staffing plan to ensure the right people are
available at the right time for each project or task.

Periodic staffing meetings will take place as needed to adjust staffing levels accordingly to meet staffing
needs.

Communication
The Project Manager will work closely with each task
leader to develop the proposed submittals in
accordance with the project requirements. Through the
use of telephone calls, virtual meetings and e-mails,
the project team, including our subconsultant(s), will
discuss project issues, progress and reviews on a
periodic basis to meet each project milestone. The
ultimate objective is to lead the team to the desired
objectives through effective and timely communication.

Our Project Manager’s experience with the City and
staff augmentation programs confirms that the best
way to minimize delays and address unforeseen
problems is to proactively communicate with the City’s
Project Manager (PM) to alert him or her of potential
issues. In addition, often the City PM is so involved on other projects that he or she may not effectively
communicate changes in the City’s position or direction regarding a project. These situations can be avoided
Page | 7
Proposal to Provide Aquatic Facility Construction Consultant Services Covering the City of Compton Pools
with proper communication and documentation
through meetings, email and telephone conversation
minutes.

Project Management
JMD offers a Project Management and Control System
that allows us to monitor and control schedules and
budgets in a timely manner. JMD’s system is a monthly
Project Management Report containing the following:

Design Status Report - Arranged by task, this report
discusses budget and schedule; design problems
which need to be resolved; coordination required
between the project team, the client staff and other
agencies; and actual versus planned progress.

Project Control Report - This is a customized report
which tracks budget and schedule to meet the specific
project needs to avoid delays. Delays can be avoided
by performing the following project management
techniques:

1. Plan realistically.

2. Use accurate budget and schedule reports.

3. If behind schedule, stop the project, reassess
staffing and schedule needed to recover, assign
your best sharpshooters, give them a very tight
schedule with overtime and direct them to
recover.

Project Scope, Schedule and Cost
Control
The monitoring and controlling of
project scope, schedule and cost will
provide a means to ensure that the
proposed work plan is implemented
in an efficient and timely manner.

Initially, the scope of work will be carefully negotiated with the City to ensure that we understand your intent
and expectations for the project. The negotiated scope
will be translated into a written format with identified budgets, milestones and deliverables. Anticipated
exclusions and items to be provided by the City,
Caltrans and other public agencies will be defined,
reviewed and discussed.

Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule
JMD has in-house staff with expertise in Microsoft
Project Planner. A comprehensive project schedule will
be initiated by our Project Manager and will serve as
the controlling document for tracking progress of the
work. This schedule will form the framework for
measuring our actual performance to planned
performance and can be used for periodic updating of
the City's work plan and financial planning. The project team will meet prior to beginning work on the project to collectively determine the smaller work tasks required
to complete the major work activities as established in the scope of work. A sequencing plan of these smaller
work tasks, using precedence format, will be
developed which, in turn, will determine the overall
schedule.

Project Control Report
Prior to beginning the project, the Project Manager will prepare the Project Control Document which defines
major tasks, subtasks, milestone submittals and task
budgets. This information is entered into our
centralized accounting system that will provide the
Project Manager with a weekly report of project budget
status based on weekly time cards and direct expense
information. The Project Manager will estimate project
completion weekly and compare the estimate with the
actual project expenditures to date. This comparison
gives a "snapshot" project cost evaluation on a weekly
basis. The Project Manager, with assistance from the
Project Engineers and subconsultants, will prepare a
monthly cost-to-complete estimate that is a valuable
tool in keeping the project on budget and validating the Project Manager's estimate of project progress.

Scope of Services
JMD will provide support stated under following tasks
listed below:

Task 1 – Project Management, Meetings and
Coordination
JMD will meet with City staff and finalize the scope for the pool upgrades, establish key communication
personnel, refine schedules and get better handle on
the required design-built design criteria. After review of the process to be followed, agreement will be reached
on the design build concept and schedule that would
meet all the requirements anticipated by the City staff.

Meetings between the City and JMD will be held to
resolve issues or hangups and keep the project moving
forward for successful completion.

Task 2 – Research and Data Collection
JMD will obtain existing “as-built” plans, data, and
documents to become familiarized with existing

13 Additional Information
CSG has thoroughly reviewed the City’s Request for Proposals for an Aquatic Facility Construction Consultant to manage the design-build process for the improvements required for swimming pools located at Lauders Park and the Gonzalez Aquatics Center. We fully understand and honor the importance of this project to the Compton community and are committed to providing all necessary project management, construction management and technical expertise to deliver the services that the City requires to ensure the successful delivery of the Project in meeting the City’s scope, budget, and schedule objectives.

P R O J E C T A P P R O A C H
Our approach to this project will include the engagement of City staff and effective teamwork with the selected design-build team and collaboration among other key project stakeholders. We offer a unique experience managing projects that include project team and consultant coordination; project information updates; utility impacts and relocation; design and procurement of temporary recreation facilities; documents review; and full- service staff support during construction.

CSG understands the importance of public information and community outreach in this type of project. As required, we will actively support the City staff and design-build team’s efforts and augment their information flow with tailored and frequent updates to City staff, the City Council, and City boards and commissions as needed. As the design-build team engages the community through design decisions, we will provide regular updates to the City that is vital to the project schedule and the integrity of the City’s decisions.

CSG’s document control is a vital component of Project Management for the project. The assigned project manager will immediately implement an action item tracking system and establish weekly coordination meetings with the City’s project manager.

CSG will thoroughly vet ideas and solutions as the work is occurring to ensure that the project team is not getting out ahead of decision-makers and key stakeholders, and to ensure that participants – at any level of engagement – feel that the process is transparent and that their input will be heard and valued. This is a fundamental CSG approach to project management and will be our commitment to the City.

With this approach CSG has successfully delivered projects of a similar nature. CSG has assembled a team with local expertise and extensive experience in the development and implementation of large public facilities projects. We operate from an office within proximity to City Hall and the project site.

TASK 1 – Project Management, Meetings and Coordination
To begin this task CSG will host an introductory kick-off meeting with City staff and key stakeholders to introduce the CSG project manager and discuss the project. A schedule will be developed for the project and milestones set for the major tasks.

Project Development
Define individual project parameters and scope in coordination with the City and the various agencies; review priorities, opportunities, and constraints as they may impact each project; and provide liaison and coordination with the various agencies for the development of cooperative projects. Administer project compliance with applicable permits, codes, funding requirements, regulations, and entitlements.

SECT ION 6

CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF COMPTON

AQUATIC FACILITY CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT SERVICES
14 TASK 2 – Research and Data Collection
CSG will coordinate with the City to verify that any predesign information such as surveys, soils reports, hazardous material surveys (if necessary), NEPA and/or CEQA documentation is complete readily available for use by the design-build team.

CSG will research the latest trends in public swimming pools materials, equipment and safety procedures with City personnel and the project’s key stakeholders to establish priorities, goals, and objectives for the projects. Assemble related information and develop strategies. Determine the necessary quantitative requirements and limits including limitations set by funding.

TASK 3 - Prepare Design-Build RFP
Project Scope—The Project Manager will prepare a scope of work for the solicitation of project designbuild teams that may include preliminary specifications and estimates for the further development by the selected Design-Build Team.This preliminary scope of work will reflect the needs and desires of the City and its stakeholders in upgrading the two pools.

RFP Documents—CSG will prepare the a draft RFP and issue to the City review and approval. Once the RFP has been approved by the City, CSG will work with the City to upload onto the City’s website for the solicitation of a design-build team.

TASK 4 – Bidding Support and Selection
Pre-Bid Conference and Job Walk—Conduct pre-bid conferences and job walks with prospective Bidders to familiarize them with the RFP Documents, prepare a record of the questions and answers discussed at the pre-bid conference and job walk, and address these questions by preparing addenda.

Bids Submittal and Review—CSG can assist the City with the evaluation of bids for completeness and accuracy through verification for compliance with the RFP Documents. If there is a cost component, CSG can compare listed bid prices to the City reconciled cost estimate and cost database to determine if all project work components have been included in the design-build contractor’s bid and if required, make a recommendation to the City for contract award.

Pre-Award Conferences—If required, our staff will conduct pre-award conferences with the successful design-build contractor.

TASK 5 – Review Design-Build Plans, Specifications, and Estimates Constructability Review— The CSG constructability review process will analyze the plans, specifications and estimates submitted by the selected design-build team for buildability by reviewing and making recommendations to the City with respect to clarity, consistency, constructability, construction cost, sequence of construction, and construction duration. The review will be performed at each submittal phase listed in the RFP and will include an on-going effort by CSG until an approved final set of Construction Set Documents has been issued, i.e., once the project is ready for construction. Some standard elements for review as part of constructability review include site logistics, constraints; conformance among plan/spec design disciplines; conformance with applicable codes and standards; scheduling requirements and restrictions; site safety and access; long lead items and current market conditions/construction costs.

Constructability reviews establish project duration, milestone dates, complexity of design, necessities for construction, expected means and methods, and gives a genuine and realistic idea of what it will take to complete the project from a design-builder perspective and will be the first in what will be multiple items of QA/QC work by CSG on behalf of the City.

Value Engineering— CSG considers the design development period as the most important time with respect to Value Engineering. During this critical stage CSG will review and comment on areas believed to be either over-designed or economically lacking. With the help of the design team, CSG will facilitate revisions to

CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF COMPTON

AQUATIC FACILITY CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT SERVICES
15 ensure efficient and economic design criteria are met. The key to Value Engineering is to maintain the project’s design integrity while altering means and methods being provided by the future Contractor as part of their bid. Typical areas for identifying potential Over-Design scope, pinpointing when direct Owner procurement of items is beneficial, evaluating specified building control/management system functions and operation, material types and quantities, procuring materials locally, Pre-selecting specific means/methods for construction.

Cost Estimating and Scheduling— CSG will review the cost estimates provided with each design submittal to ensure compliance with the City’s project budget, and when there is a difference in costs work with the City to identify reasons for such difference and recommend means to eliminate the difference.

Project Budget—We will evaluate the current City estimate to determine if the current estimate is in alignment with the City Budget for the project and represent the current costs within the industry and work with the City to estimate costs and validate the project budget including contingencies for the project.

Project Schedule—CSG will develop a baseline project schedule that integrates the design team activities with the anticipated construction schedule for the contractor and include the milestones and key activities for the project. Overall progress of work will be measured monthly against this baseline schedule and adjustments made when required. The design-build teams work will be regularly reviewed and monitored for progress against the scheduled milestones, and CSG will advise the City on necessary actions to prevent, minimize or recover from delays. The Schedule will be maintained using the latest available version of the Microsoft Project scheduling software program.

Meetings— CSG will attend all project meetings with City and the Design-Build Team, and all programming and site planning meetings relating to the Project.

TASK 6 – Construction Support
Our approach to construction management is through coordination, communication, reporting, efficiency, and the right expertise to match the project’s specific needs. During this phase, CSG will administer the construction contracts and facilitate communication between the contractors, the Architect, and the City to complete the Project in accordance with the contract documents. We will closely monitor the construction progress and recommend courses of action to the City for any delay or contractor failure to fulfill contractual requirements.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOULTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF COMPTON AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT’S ARPA FISCAL YEAR 2023- 2024 BUDGET, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A THREE (3) YEAR SERVICE AGREEMENT AND TO ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER FOR ZORRO LANDSCAPE INC. FOR THE
PURPOSE OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR TWO (2)

WATER STORAGE TANK SITES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ($57,600).

SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the Municipal Water Department’s ARPA Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget, enter into a Service Agreement and establish a purchase order for Zorro Landscape, Inc. (“Zorro”) for fiscal years 2024-2024, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 to provide routine landscaping services for two (2) Municipal Water Department water storage tank sites located at 18604 Wilmington Avenue and 1300 El Segundo Blvd. in an amount not to exceed Fifty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Dollars.

BACKGROUND
The Compton Municipal Water Department (“Department”) is an Urban Retail Water Supplier providing water services to approximately 80% of the incorporated City limits.

The water system consists of approximately 156 miles of water mains, 1,500 fire hydrants, 3,500 valves, 8 water wells, 2 water storage tank locations with 5 storage tanks total and 1 booster pump station.

The City’s Municipal Water Department’s water storage tanks are located at: (1) 18604 Wilmington Avenue and it houses four (4) water storage tanks containing approximately 3 million gallons of water each, and the second location is at 1300 El Segundo Blvd. (Sibrie Park) and houses one (1) water storage tank which stores approximately 750,000 gallons of water.

It is essential to keep the areas surrounding the water storage tanks properly and regularly landscaped to avoid any type of water contamination.

Landscape maintenance of water sites provides the following benefits:

10. Staff Report Zorro Landscape Inc.

April 9, 2024
Page | 2

1. Water Quality: Proper landscaping can prevent erosion, sedimentation, and runoff, which can degrade water quality. Healthy vegetation acts as a natural filter, reducing the influx of pollutants into the reservoir.

2. Ecosystem Stability: The surrounding landscape provides habitats for diverse flora and fauna. Preserving these ecosystems ensures biodiversity and ecological balance, which are essential for the overall health of the environment.

3. Water Conservation: Strategic landscaping can help conserve water by minimizing evaporation and regulating water flow. Trees and other vegetation provide shade, reducing water loss through evapotranspiration and helping to maintain water levels.

4. Aesthetic Value: Well-designed landscapes enhance the visual appeal of water reservoirs, making them more attractive recreational areas for residents and visitors. Aesthetic surroundings can also boost property values and promote community pride.

5. Flood Mitigation: Thoughtful landscaping can mitigate the risk of flooding by absorbing excess water and reducing surface runoff. Wetlands, riparian buffers, and other natural features help regulate water flow and minimize flood damage.

In summary, maintaining the landscape around water tanks/reservoirs is essential for safeguarding water quality, supporting ecosystems, conserving water, enhancing aesthetics, mitigating floods, and building climate resilience.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Compton Municipal Water Department (“Department”) has two sites that have water storage tanks located on them. There is one site located in the industrial area of the City at 18604 Wilmington Avenue and a second site located in the residential area of the City at 1300 El Segundo Blvd (Sibrie Park). These parcels require continuous landscape maintenance; which includes weed abatement, trimming services, blowing, hauling and debris removal. The Municipal Water Department would like to contract with a qualified Landscaper to perform landscape maintenance at the water tank storage sites to keep these areas safe from contamination, regularly maintained, and aesthetically pleasing for the community.

In October of 2023, the Municipal Water Department solicited quotes for landscape maintenance services. Three quotes were received as follows:
