PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AND ESTABLISH A

PURCHASE ORDER WITH BOWMAN INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERS
LTD. DBA INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERS TO PROVIDE DESIGN

ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE PEARL AVENUE STREET
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CIP# 25-01 ($99,935).

SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with and establish a purchase order with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. dba Infrastructure Engineers to provide design engineering services for the Pearl Avenue Street Improvement Project, CIP# 25-01 in the amount of $99,935.

BACKGROUND
Over the past several years, the City of Compton has been carrying out major sewer rehabilitation projects in the City in an effort to upgrade the capacity of its aging infrastructure. Pearl Avenue sewer line was among the list of aging sewer pipes slated for rehabilitation.

In May 2023, the Pearl Avenue sewer line had experienced prolonged structural damage and capacity deficiencies. A CCTV conducted on the site revealed that portions of the sewer line underneath the streets of Pearl Avenue were facing imminent danger of collapsing forming a potential sink hole and/or sewer overflow beneath the street which contained missing pipes.

As a result, on October 17, 2023, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,917, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with a sewer contractor to carry out the sewer improvements on Pearl Avenue from Rosecrans Avenue to the northern end of the cul-de-sac. The scope of work included replacing sewer mains and connecting laterals, removing and replacing street pavement and striping, replacing a crosswalk signal at the intersection of Rosecrans Avenue and Pearl Avenue as well replacing loop detectors. Construction began on November 7, 2023 and was officially completed and accepted by the City Council on May 21, 2024.

October 15, 2024

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
To continue our efforts on Pearl Street, staff is seeking to perform street rehabilitation work as part of the Pearl Avenue Street Improvement Project. This project will include saw-cutting, curb ramps replacement for ADA compliance, sidewalk improvements along with curb & gutter replacement as recommended, drainage improvements, landscape improvements, bike lane markings as recommended, pavement preparation, manhole adjustments, signage, striping, and any other improvements deemed necessary as determined by the design team.

On July 17 2024, staff solicited and received proposals from qualified design engineering firms to provide the necessary engineering design services that will include field review, recommendations of the needed improvements, and preparation of the engineering design bid documents needed for the construction of Pearl Avenue from Rosecrans Avenue to the northern end of the Cul-De-Sac.

On August 12, 2024, staff received three (3) proposals and ranked them as follows:

Rank Firm Location Amount
1 Infrastructure Engineers Brea, CA $99,935
2 NV5, Inc. Irvine, CA $88,500
3 Willdan Industry, CA $88,681
A panel of Public Works staff reviewed the submitted proposals. Each consultant was rated based upon their qualifications, experience, a demonstrable understanding of the scope of services, and the proposed schedule for project implementation. Importantly, the selected consultant would be required to review, evaluate, and analyze the existing street conditions condition, soil analysis, street drainage issues, sidewalk, curb/gutter, ADA access curb-ramps, bike lane markings, and landscape improvements as needed.

Each consultant was rated based upon their qualifications, experience, a demonstrable understanding of the scope of services, and the proposed schedule for project implementation.

After careful consideration, the evaluation process resulted in the selection of Bowman Infrastructures Engineers to prepare the construction plans, design specifications for the Pearl Avenue Street Improvement Project in the amount of $99,935. A major factor leading to selection of Bowman Infrastucture Engineers Ltd. dba Infrastructure Engineers is the consultant’s commitment to provide bidding assistance through analysis of prospective contractors to ensure the City obtains the lowest apparent Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. dba Infrastructure Engineers–Staff Report Pearl Avenue Street Improvement Project, CIP# 25-01
October 15, 2024

bidder for the contruction project as well as construction administration services.

Recently, the team completed a similar project in the City of Lynwood which won the “APWA Project of the Year” award.

Therefore, in order to authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with and establish a purchase order with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. dba Infrastructure Engineers to provide design engineering services for the Pearl Avenue Street Improvement Project, CIP# 25-01 in the amount of $99,935, City Council’s authorization is necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT
This project is being funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

According to Community Development Block Grant regulations, infrastructure improvements such as streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutter, and streetscape enhancements are considered eligible activities. Specifically, design services as part of an overall street improvement project fall under the eligible category of “public facilities and improvements,” as per 24 CFR 570.201(c).

Funds in the amount of $99,935 are available in the City’s 2024-2025 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 2800-54-M168-4300.

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution.

5 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 Bell Gardens 2017 PMS Update
We performed a detailed windshield survey on all Bell Gardens’ streets to collect distress information, road dimensions, true section area and other key condition data such as drainage and ride assessments. Infrastructure Engineers utilized its Windows based Pavement Management System, which was done with the use of APWA’s MicroPaver. Infrastructure Engineers has provided a listing of pavement maintenance that has been performed by the Public Works Department which is shown in Section III. All pavement data were entered into Micro Paver, version 7.0.6. This was the foundation for all survey data collected in the field. After this data had been entered, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was calculated for each segment, and for the overall street network.

Based on the results of the condition survey and input from the city, pavement maintenance / rehabilitation strategies were developed. A standard agreement at the outset was to identify the city’s maintenance work program for the next five years, based upon the objective to maintain a good condition of the city’s streets and to reduce street maintenance backlog. We recommended a “Minimal Level of Service” (LOS), which creates a major dividing line in determining pavement maintenance.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

The purpose of the budget is to improve the PCI conditions of the city with the optimal usage of the resources provided.

Therefore, a strategy must be created to use the resources at the appropriate time. Additionally, this scenario utilizes maintenance and repair work types that will improve it to a PCI of 100. All work program budgets generated are presented in terms of current 2020 dollars. All repair activities were based on distresses observed at the time of the field survey.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI level as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

The budgeting process was approached with the following in mind: generate a work program for the next five (5) years based upon actual road pavement conditions in order to maintain and raise the average PCI over a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work programs have been prepared and the actual budget is summarized below. The purpose of the budget is to improve the PCI conditions of the city with the optimal usage of the resources provided. We present a scenario that incorporates various maintenance and repair work types aimed at maintaining a Citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 70, except for the fiscal year 2028-29.

Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work programs have been prepared and the actual budget.

All work program budgets generated were presented in terms of current 2017 dollars. The city’s budget is broken down within the MicroPaver software to maximize maintenance dollars for the appropriate activities (Stop-Gap, Preventative, Global, Major M&R). All repair activities were based on distresses observed at the time of the field survey. The first budget analyzes how to maintain a PCI 75 for a city throughout each type of street. This takes into account preventative and stop-gap measures as well as repairing any pavement that reaches a critical PCI value. The primary focus of this budget is to repair any streets once it reaches a critical value and needs repair regardless of cost.

7 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 We have recommended a “Minimal Level of Service” (LOS), which creates a major dividing line in determining pavement maintenance.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

Our team provided potential budgets in two scenarios. The first scenario would raise and maintain the average-weighted network PCI for AC and PCC streets to a PCI of approximately 70. The second scenario will raise and maintain the average-weighted network PCI for AC and PCC pavement sections to a PCI of approximately 85. We projected a five-year work program by maintenance activity for each year for this scenario for arterial and collector streets, for residential streets, for the alleys and for the PCC pavement sections.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
The IE Bowman team will take a professional approach to ensure efficient, quality project management throughout the course of the project. Project management services will include, but not be limited to a project kick‐off meeting, project development meetings, monthly progress meetings, plan review meetings, preparing meeting agendas and
minutes, updating city staff on project concerns, issues, and accomplishments, coordinating with other agencies and
stakeholders, scheduling and making presentations before the public, city staff, and City Council. As appropriately included in the RFP , it will be essential for our team to meet and confer with city staff periodically during the preliminary design phase to resolve design issues and ensure continuity with city standards and preferences. Our project manager, Christopher Ley , PE, will communicate regularly with the city’s project manager and other stakeholders; his past experience working on municipal projects and with city staffs will be highly valuable in making these efforts successful.

A) EXISTING STREET PLANS AND FIELD CONDITIONS
Existing record data search is the first action item for the team as it provides the needed survey and land ownership data which informs the field survey and field investigations. Our team will request access to city and county records, from utility companies, and other public / private entities and agencies to establish any information on topography, right of way, property boundaries, easements, and other public agency’s right of way. This will establish if any additional permits are necessary early on and which agencies must review the package for approval prior to construction.

Our team, by use of our survey consultant, Dennis Janda, Inc. will perform a detailed topographic survey of the project limits including 100 feet from BCR / ECR on intersecting streets in all directions this will provide a detailed record of all existing surface features. The survey will determine elevations, drainage patterns, Right-of-Way (RW) lines, topographic data, utility identification, tree and planimetric features locations. Services will include right-of-way surveys or mapping, parcel boundaries or identification of easement, and topographic surveying services. We will utilize previous survey work and any recorded maps along the route that indicate additional RW dedication and / or easement. Survey control will be established and tied together in a project network.

Our team will make field ties to a sufficient number of key existing survey monuments along the proposed project corridor to allow this record data to be accurately correlated to the aerial topographic survey. Land surveys will be tied to the City of Compton benchmark, based horizontally on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and vertically on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). Topographic mapping will follow a 40-scale with 1-ft contours. Our team will prepare a CAD digital base map compilation in accordance with the city’s Citywide CAD Standards. Field visits of the project site will be conducted to document potential physical, environmental, traffic control, and rehabilitation constraints. Results of the document research and site visit will be incorporated in the base map.

29 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 A(1) Provide Video-Recording / Photos of Existing Street Conditions Additionally, we will perform a site investigation to evaluate the existing condition of pavement, curb and gutter, cross gutters, curb ramps, sidewalk, driveway approaches, catch basins drainage inlets including grates and brushes, traffic signals, pedestrian traffic signal systems, pedestrians scale lighting, streetlighting, bus stop pad and locations, landscaping, and other street features. During this investigation, locations of damaged or distressed street features will be inspected, confirmed and summarized in a report with pictures, GIS coordinates and recommendations for possible repairs. All pictures and videos taken during the site investigation will be provided to the city in a link for download. Included in the files will be videos of the site which can be used by our team as part of the before and after video that will be filmed and edited for the city post- construction.

A(2) Prepare Utility Notices
Our utility coordinator will prepare utility notification letters and send notices (with signature from the City Engineer) to all concerned utility agencies and obtain all as-builts, necessary clearances, service points and approvals, including verifying all electrical feed points for traffic signals and streetlights, as necessary.

Our design team will identify and resolve all utility conflicts both overhead and underground. All utilities, including depth, alignment and the disposition thereof will be shown on the roadway plan and in the profiles.

All utilities will be delineated on the plans within the sphere of the project. All needed manhole cover, valve can adjustments and traffic loop placements will be addressed on the plans. Call outs will also be included to indicate the utilities that are not affected by the project to be protected in place. Our staff will initiate the three (3) step notification process early in the design process and will identify and resolve any conflicts in meeting the city’s intended schedule. We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name, and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications.

We will request utility information from the utility owners and confirm locations. The request will be in the utility “A” letter format to affected utility owners which will include a request of their utility as-built information. Two sets of the Design Professional alternatives exhibit will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the transmittal “A” letter.

The transmittal letter will clearly identify this project as a City of Compton project. Information received from the utility coordination will be delineated onto a utility base map for the project to become the utility layer used during the PS&E phase.

Utility maps can also be uploaded by our staff to the city’s GIS layer for as-builts. This information will be reconciled against actual surveyed locations of the utilities gathered in the survey.

As standard practice we will perform the following tasks:
• Ask utility companies for location, size, depth, of their facilities within the project limits. This notice is forwarded to concur with commencement of design
• In the event utilities exist within the proposed project site we will transmit notices and preliminary plans to the affected utility agencies to confirm that their facilities have been shown correctly on the plan. If relocations or adjustments are needed, we will determine the magnitude of the relocation, schedules, and further coordination requirements • Prior to project bidding, we will transmit notices and approved project plans to affected utility agencies, as previously identified, requesting immediate relocation
• We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications
Project Approach

30 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 A(3) Map Existing Utilities
This task will include review of the city’s ‘as-builts’ or record drawings of recent construction projects such as traffic signals, sewer repairs, pavement rehabilitation, etc. to incorporate all utilities shown on the existing maps and plans by adding any additional improvements recently made within the city. All utility notification responses shall also be included within the plans. We will also use Los Angeles County’s GIS system to download all as-builts within the limits of the project.

A(4) Review Applicable Citywide Master Plans
We will review all applicable citywide utility master plans and incorporate recommendations as part of the project design after coordination and approval with city staff.

A(5) Prepare Drawings to Match City / PWE Drawing Templates At the kick-off meeting with city staff, our team will request all the latest sheet and x-ref CAD files that are available to ensure that they are adopted for the project. The City of Compton engineering design standards have been obtained from the city staff during previous projects. Utilizing our topographic survey along with all of the as-builts and drawing templates that can be located within the city, county and other agencies, we will prepare the 24 in x 36 in plan sheets to a horizontal scale of 1 in = 20 ft. These sheets shall be used for field investigations and conceptual planning with the city and all stake holders.

B) PERFORM SECTION SAMPLES AND SOIL INVESTIGATIONS
We, by use of our geotechnical subconsultant, P .A. & Associates, will perform a complete geotechnical investigation, pavement evaluations, and soils testing within the North Pearl Avenue project area to evaluate existing conditions and will provide the necessary analyses and reports. P .A. & Associates, has extensive experience with subsurface exploration, laboratory testing of soil, rock, and geosynthetic materials and recommendation for pavement sections. They will perform cores and bores sufficiently throughout the project area to determine the needed pavement rehabilitation. The general scope of work planned for projects includes preliminary field review and reconnaissance, obtaining required city permits for our services, traffic control during field exploration, subsurface explorations, correlative laboratory testing, engineering review and analysis, and documentation of findings and recommendations in a report format. The geotechnical report will contain soil classification, in-place density, seismologic conditions, stability analysis, bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of sub-grade materials, relative compaction, sand equivalency, depth to groundwater (if any), soil stability related to trench excavation, slope stability, corrosivity testing, testing for sulfuric compounds and pavement section thickness.

C) REVIEW STREET SEGMENT AND MAKE STREET IMPROVEMENTS
We will arrange a job walk with city staff to gain a clear understanding of the city’s vision for the project and any insights they may offer. This walk-through presents a valuable opportunity to review our evaluations based on the RFP , proposed recommendations, design elements, and prepare project PS&E in detail.

The team will identify segments of North Pearl Ave that need the following improvements:
• Removing and repairing deteriorated roadway pavement. • Surface grinding existing AC pavement (various thickness) • Placing rubberized asphalt pavement wearing course (ARHM) over the asphalt concrete pavement leveling course • Application of crack sealing material
• Application of emulsion aggregate slurry (Type II Slurry Seal) These improvements are accompanied by:
• Relocating existing utility pull boxes
Project Approach
31 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 • Adjusting utility frame and covers to finished roadway pavement grade • Coordinating and obtaining necessary permits from third party agencies and stakeholders, if needed, such as County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Caltrans, and other stakeholders involved in the project
Our team will review the project scope of work outlined in the RFP , verify, and identify any additional necessary items during the project site investigation / walk. Our team has already scrutinized the RFP’s project scope, walked the project several times and pinpointed specific improvements and new elements required for the design phase. Some of these items are as follows:

C(1) Proper Street Drainage and Eliminating Localized Ponding and Depressed Areas Based on the topographic survey, site investigation, LA county Storm Drain System inventory, and city records, our team will identify sumps and depressed areas prone to localized ponding. In such areas the road and / or curb and gutter shall be removed and replaced. The new construction will have adequate grades to avoid ponding and properly drain to local catch basins.

C(2) ADA Curb-Ramps
Our design team members have complete knowledge of the ADA requirements and we have been creative in our approach to designing construction details, as related to improvements in the public right-of-way, including curb ramps, to fit the needed improvement within the existing constraints of each location to the best possible extent. In cases when this cannot be achieved, we devise solutions with minimum impact to the surrounding existing improvements, acknowledging project cost controls. Our certified CASp professional, Jay Shih, PE, CBO, CASp will assist with evaluations of all ADA requirements associated with this project.

The topographic survey will provide slope details on our ramps allowing our design team to ascertain all rehabilitation recommendations required for each ramp. The team will comply with ADA regulations and guidelines. As a minimum, curb ramps, sidewalks and walkways will be comprehensively reviewed to provide full compliance with the latest federal and state ADA guidelines.

C(3) Sidewalk Replacement
During the team’s site investigation, the team will identify and record any sections of sidewalk that are not up to current standards, hazardous, broken and / or damaged. Standards for sidewalk include ADA Standards for Accessible Design, LA County Standard Plans, Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, City of Compton Standards. The team will provide improvement plans for the selective removal and repair of such sections of sidewalk as well as other concrete improvements on North Pearl Ave within city’s right of way.

C(4) Curb and Gutter Flow Lines
During the team’s site investigation, the team will identify and record any sections of concrete curbs and gutters, driveways, cross gutters, catch basin local depressions, bus pads, and alley aprons that are broken, damaged or interfere with the proper flow of water in the gutter. The improvement plans for such concrete improvements on damaged or interfering sections, as well as sidewalk improvements will be provided.

C(5) Landscape Improvements as Needed
Our approach to landscape is to design for long term maintenance through robust landscape construction plans & details along with project inspections. We first address long term maintenance by dealing with soil compaction and lack of organics Project Approach

32 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 within the root profile. Typically, this is often overlooked in landscape construction or addressed minimally with little to no effect. Compacted soils are arguably one of the most significant causes of plant material loss within landscape projects.

A common method to landscape irrigation is generally all point source irrigation either through inline drip or point source emitters that can apply water directly to the root ball. Overhead irrigation is only used when active turf areas are being proposed on a project. Gate valves are located strategically throughout the mainline for the isolating of issues and individual shut valves are placed behind each valve for better system management.

The planting plan first starts with the palette selected which we tend to focus on low water use climate appropriate selections that are readily available within the nursery industry. Plant material is placed for swaths of density without creating a problem long term for maintenance personnel. Plant quality is outlined in our details and specifications and the material is only accepted after being inspected on the job site with the Contractor. The exterior root ball of each woody plant is shaved to remove any defects and a thick layer of mulch is placed in the planting areas to minimize water loss through evapotranspiration.

C(6) Bike Lane Markings as Feasible
Our team will develop a consensus around the goals of the conceptual design and options for final recommendation per the city’s direction. The team will examine the feasibility of various types of bike facilities. Amir Farahani, PE, TE was the city traffic engineer for the City of Orange and managed the planning and implementation of the city’s bicycle master plan. Amir shall examine the current roadway geometry and lane configuration. The team will perform an evaluation of both Class II and Class III Bicycle facilities based on the existing physical roadway conditions including lane width and configuration, safety issues and traffic speeds and volumes that need to be met for each of the two on-street bicycle facility classes. Then provide the final recommendation of the type of bicycle facilities given the results of the study. The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Highway Design Manual (HDM) provide the minimum requirements for bicycle facilities.

The Urban Bikeway Design Guide by the National Association of City Transportation Officials and the Federal Highway Administration’s Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation will provide additional recommendations to aid our team.

Based on the bicycle facilities class the team will compile a striping and signage plan for the bike lanes.

Project Approach

33 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 We ensure all traffic signing, striping, markings, and curb painting shall conform to the Caltrans Standard Specifications of the State of California (2022 edition), Department of Transportation, and the City of Compton required specifications to perform the following:
• Installing new thermoplastic traffic striping, pavement markings • Coordinating and obtaining necessary permits from third party agencies such as Caltrans, and other stakeholders involved in the project as needed
C(7) Traffic Calming Measures (Sped Bumps) and Traffic Control Markings and Stripings / Signage as Required Our team has specialized expertise in transportation planning and design, and documented success in developing and implementing a variety of traffic calming devices. Our proposed senior traffic engineer, Amir Farahani, PE, TE, shall determine the best traffic calming measures for North Pearl Avenue based on traffic patterns and city / community input. Traffic calming focuses on reducing driver speeds by focusing on driver’s reactionary behavior to road modifications. Types of roadway modifications our team has experience with and may use include signing or markings, physical intersection modifications, roadway narrowing, vertical road elements and physical roadway segment modification. Some examples of such include pedestrian hybrid beacons, roundabouts, curb extension / bulb outs, speed hump, and chicanes respectively. This approach works with driver behavior within certain environments and conditions to obtain results, in accordance with the Vision Zero and FHWA’s Safe Systems Approach. Traffic calming recenters multimodal transportation with the city’s network, allowing communities of low and moderate incomes to safely use the road and sidewalks without the use of personal vehicles. Our team will consider the use of each method with the help of the “Traffic Calming Guide” published by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the “California Safe Speeds Toolkit” by SafeTRC at UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research.

D) CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLANS AND CONSTRUCTION BID DOCUMENTS Our team will prepare and supply project location maps and additional materials for the Council to be informed and understand our work and plans for the project. Progress reports, along with invoices, will be submitted monthly to the city Project Approach

Progress on the project will be constantly updated and monitored using Microsoft Project.

After stakeholders’ and city’s approval of concept design for the proposed improvements, our team, along with our subconsultants, will provide professional services to complete all items as outlined, including all deliverables. Based on the approved concept plans, our team will prepare design documents at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% / Final completion stages for the city’s review and approval. In coordination with the city, we can forward the plans to other stakeholders for review and to get feedback from each agency. At each submittal, previous comments will be incorporated in the design documents for the city’s review.

All plans will be prepared in CAD and will be approved by state of California registered civil engineers. In addition to signed and sealed drawings, electronic copies of the plans will be delivered to the city for its records. We use Civil3D software in our design department to achieve project schedule goals and a higher quality of work. In preparation of the plans, we will follow Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, Caltrans Standard Plans, and CA-MUTCD, as well as all available city standards, and any other applicable state and federal codes.

D(1) Distribute Utility Notices B & C
Our utility coordinator will continue to prepare utility notification letters and send notices (with signature from the City Engineer) to all concerned utility agencies as per our before mentioned three step process. All utilities that the team is notified on will be delineated on the updated current set of plans within the sphere of the project. We are aware of concerns about resolution of any and all possible conflicts impacting project schedule. We are dedicated to making sure there will be no such delays. In the event utilities exist within the proposed project site, we will transmit notices and preliminary plans to the affected utility agencies to confirm that their facilities have been shown correctly on the plan. If relocations or adjustments are needed, we will determine the magnitude of the relocation, schedules, and further coordination requirements. Prior to project bidding, we will transmit notices and approved project plans to affected utility agencies, as previously identified, requesting immediate relocation. We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name, and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Seven Dollars ($257,977) to Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. dba Infrastructure Engineers for the provision of construction management and inspection services for the Road Repair Services Project citywide.

BACKGROUND
On July 26, 2024, the City of Compton (“City”) performed an update to the Pavement Management Program, which identified approximately 134 miles of “Fair” to “Very Poor” citywide street conditions. These findings indicate that the proper funding of the street network needs to continually be improved upon to sustain or improve the overall Pavement Condition Index. The PCI is a condition rating that ranges from 0 to 100. The PCI average for the City of Compton is 60.8 which is considered “Fair”. As a result, preventative maintenance is significantly overdue and presents safety and liability concerns to the City.

On September 24, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,124, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a construction services agreement with a contractor to provide construction for the Road Repair Services Project citywide.

The Road Repair Services Project consist of providing road repair services citywide in accordance to the contract specifications and other contract documents. Specifically, the project will consist of pavement repairs such as grind & overlay rehabilitation methods on 16 segments of specified distressed streets.

An essential component of this project is to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced engineering firm to provide construction management and inspection services.

We performed a detailed windshield survey on all Bell Gardens’ streets to collect distress information, road dimensions, true section area and other key condition data such as drainage and ride assessments. Infrastructure Engineers utilized its Windows based Pavement Management System, which was done with the use of APWA’s MicroPaver. Infrastructure Engineers has provided a listing of pavement maintenance that has been performed by the Public Works Department which is shown in Section III. All pavement data were entered into Micro Paver, version 7.0.6. This was the foundation for all survey data collected in the field. After this data had been entered, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was calculated for each segment, and for the overall street network.

Based on the results of the condition survey and input from the city, pavement maintenance / rehabilitation strategies were developed. A standard agreement at the outset was to identify the city’s maintenance work program for the next five years, based upon the objective to maintain a good condition of the city’s streets and to reduce street maintenance backlog. We recommended a “Minimal Level of Service” (LOS), which creates a major dividing line in determining pavement maintenance.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

The purpose of the budget is to improve the PCI conditions of the city with the optimal usage of the resources provided.

Therefore, a strategy must be created to use the resources at the appropriate time. Additionally, this scenario utilizes maintenance and repair work types that will improve it to a PCI of 100. All work program budgets generated are presented in terms of current 2020 dollars. All repair activities were based on distresses observed at the time of the field survey.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI level as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

The budgeting process was approached with the following in mind: generate a work program for the next five (5) years based upon actual road pavement conditions in order to maintain and raise the average PCI over a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work programs have been prepared and the actual budget is summarized below. The purpose of the budget is to improve the PCI conditions of the city with the optimal usage of the resources provided. We present a scenario that incorporates various maintenance and repair work types aimed at maintaining a Citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 70, except for the fiscal year 2028-29.

Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work programs have been prepared and the actual budget.

All work program budgets generated were presented in terms of current 2017 dollars. The city’s budget is broken down within the MicroPaver software to maximize maintenance dollars for the appropriate activities (Stop-Gap, Preventative, Global, Major M&R). All repair activities were based on distresses observed at the time of the field survey. The first budget analyzes how to maintain a PCI 75 for a city throughout each type of street. This takes into account preventative and stop-gap measures as well as repairing any pavement that reaches a critical PCI value. The primary focus of this budget is to repair any streets once it reaches a critical value and needs repair regardless of cost.

7 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 We have recommended a “Minimal Level of Service” (LOS), which creates a major dividing line in determining pavement maintenance.

Based on the city’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a specific PCI as the minimum LOS. This means that any pavement section with a PCI less than that specific number may be recommended for heavy grind and overlay, or reconstruction.

Our team provided potential budgets in two scenarios. The first scenario would raise and maintain the average-weighted network PCI for AC and PCC streets to a PCI of approximately 70. The second scenario will raise and maintain the average-weighted network PCI for AC and PCC pavement sections to a PCI of approximately 85. We projected a five-year work program by maintenance activity for each year for this scenario for arterial and collector streets, for residential streets, for the alleys and for the PCC pavement sections.

Describe process of analysis to be used to make recommendations for roadway improvements and projections related to annual allocation needs, impact of not funding needs, etc. Describe impact each alternate item would have on collection process of project.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
The IE Bowman team will take a professional approach to ensure efficient, quality project management throughout the course of the project. Project management services will include, but not be limited to a project kick‐off meeting, project development meetings, monthly progress meetings, plan review meetings, preparing meeting agendas and
minutes, updating city staff on project concerns, issues, and accomplishments, coordinating with other agencies and
stakeholders, scheduling and making presentations before the public, city staff, and City Council. As appropriately included in the RFP , it will be essential for our team to meet and confer with city staff periodically during the preliminary design phase to resolve design issues and ensure continuity with city standards and preferences. Our project manager, Christopher Ley , PE, will communicate regularly with the city’s project manager and other stakeholders; his past experience working on municipal projects and with city staffs will be highly valuable in making these efforts successful.

A) EXISTING STREET PLANS AND FIELD CONDITIONS
Existing record data search is the first action item for the team as it provides the needed survey and land ownership data which informs the field survey and field investigations. Our team will request access to city and county records, from utility companies, and other public / private entities and agencies to establish any information on topography, right of way, property boundaries, easements, and other public agency’s right of way. This will establish if any additional permits are necessary early on and which agencies must review the package for approval prior to construction.

Our team, by use of our survey consultant, Dennis Janda, Inc. will perform a detailed topographic survey of the project limits including 100 feet from BCR / ECR on intersecting streets in all directions this will provide a detailed record of all existing surface features. The survey will determine elevations, drainage patterns, Right-of-Way (RW) lines, topographic data, utility identification, tree and planimetric features locations. Services will include right-of-way surveys or mapping, parcel boundaries or identification of easement, and topographic surveying services. We will utilize previous survey work and any recorded maps along the route that indicate additional RW dedication and / or easement. Survey control will be established and tied together in a project network.

Our team will make field ties to a sufficient number of key existing survey monuments along the proposed project corridor to allow this record data to be accurately correlated to the aerial topographic survey. Land surveys will be tied to the City of Compton benchmark, based horizontally on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and vertically on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). Topographic mapping will follow a 40-scale with 1-ft contours. Our team will prepare a CAD digital base map compilation in accordance with the city’s Citywide CAD Standards. Field visits of the project site will be conducted to document potential physical, environmental, traffic control, and rehabilitation constraints. Results of the document research and site visit will be incorporated in the base map.

29 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 A(1) Provide Video-Recording / Photos of Existing Street Conditions Additionally, we will perform a site investigation to evaluate the existing condition of pavement, curb and gutter, cross gutters, curb ramps, sidewalk, driveway approaches, catch basins drainage inlets including grates and brushes, traffic signals, pedestrian traffic signal systems, pedestrians scale lighting, streetlighting, bus stop pad and locations, landscaping, and other street features. During this investigation, locations of damaged or distressed street features will be inspected, confirmed and summarized in a report with pictures, GIS coordinates and recommendations for possible repairs. All pictures and videos taken during the site investigation will be provided to the city in a link for download. Included in the files will be videos of the site which can be used by our team as part of the before and after video that will be filmed and edited for the city post- construction.

A(2) Prepare Utility Notices
Our utility coordinator will prepare utility notification letters and send notices (with signature from the City Engineer) to all concerned utility agencies and obtain all as-builts, necessary clearances, service points and approvals, including verifying all electrical feed points for traffic signals and streetlights, as necessary.

Our design team will identify and resolve all utility conflicts both overhead and underground. All utilities, including depth, alignment and the disposition thereof will be shown on the roadway plan and in the profiles.

All utilities will be delineated on the plans within the sphere of the project. All needed manhole cover, valve can adjustments and traffic loop placements will be addressed on the plans. Call outs will also be included to indicate the utilities that are not affected by the project to be protected in place. Our staff will initiate the three (3) step notification process early in the design process and will identify and resolve any conflicts in meeting the city’s intended schedule. We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name, and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications.

We will request utility information from the utility owners and confirm locations. The request will be in the utility “A” letter format to affected utility owners which will include a request of their utility as-built information. Two sets of the Design Professional alternatives exhibit will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the transmittal “A” letter.

The transmittal letter will clearly identify this project as a City of Compton project. Information received from the utility coordination will be delineated onto a utility base map for the project to become the utility layer used during the PS&E phase.

Utility maps can also be uploaded by our staff to the city’s GIS layer for as-builts. This information will be reconciled against actual surveyed locations of the utilities gathered in the survey.

As standard practice we will perform the following tasks:
• Ask utility companies for location, size, depth, of their facilities within the project limits. This notice is forwarded to concur with commencement of design
• In the event utilities exist within the proposed project site we will transmit notices and preliminary plans to the affected utility agencies to confirm that their facilities have been shown correctly on the plan. If relocations or adjustments are needed, we will determine the magnitude of the relocation, schedules, and further coordination requirements • Prior to project bidding, we will transmit notices and approved project plans to affected utility agencies, as previously identified, requesting immediate relocation
• We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications
Project Approach

30 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 A(3) Map Existing Utilities
This task will include review of the city’s ‘as-builts’ or record drawings of recent construction projects such as traffic signals, sewer repairs, pavement rehabilitation, etc. to incorporate all utilities shown on the existing maps and plans by adding any additional improvements recently made within the city. All utility notification responses shall also be included within the plans. We will also use Los Angeles County’s GIS system to download all as-builts within the limits of the project.

A(4) Review Applicable Citywide Master Plans
We will review all applicable citywide utility master plans and incorporate recommendations as part of the project design after coordination and approval with city staff.

A(5) Prepare Drawings to Match City / PWE Drawing Templates At the kick-off meeting with city staff, our team will request all the latest sheet and x-ref CAD files that are available to ensure that they are adopted for the project. The City of Compton engineering design standards have been obtained from the city staff during previous projects. Utilizing our topographic survey along with all of the as-builts and drawing templates that can be located within the city, county and other agencies, we will prepare the 24 in x 36 in plan sheets to a horizontal scale of 1 in = 20 ft. These sheets shall be used for field investigations and conceptual planning with the city and all stake holders.

B) PERFORM SECTION SAMPLES AND SOIL INVESTIGATIONS
We, by use of our geotechnical subconsultant, P .A. & Associates, will perform a complete geotechnical investigation, pavement evaluations, and soils testing within the North Pearl Avenue project area to evaluate existing conditions and will provide the necessary analyses and reports. P .A. & Associates, has extensive experience with subsurface exploration, laboratory testing of soil, rock, and geosynthetic materials and recommendation for pavement sections. They will perform cores and bores sufficiently throughout the project area to determine the needed pavement rehabilitation. The general scope of work planned for projects includes preliminary field review and reconnaissance, obtaining required city permits for our services, traffic control during field exploration, subsurface explorations, correlative laboratory testing, engineering review and analysis, and documentation of findings and recommendations in a report format. The geotechnical report will contain soil classification, in-place density, seismologic conditions, stability analysis, bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of sub-grade materials, relative compaction, sand equivalency, depth to groundwater (if any), soil stability related to trench excavation, slope stability, corrosivity testing, testing for sulfuric compounds and pavement section thickness.

C) REVIEW STREET SEGMENT AND MAKE STREET IMPROVEMENTS
We will arrange a job walk with city staff to gain a clear understanding of the city’s vision for the project and any insights they may offer. This walk-through presents a valuable opportunity to review our evaluations based on the RFP , proposed recommendations, design elements, and prepare project PS&E in detail.

The team will identify segments of North Pearl Ave that need the following improvements:
• Removing and repairing deteriorated roadway pavement. • Surface grinding existing AC pavement (various thickness) • Placing rubberized asphalt pavement wearing course (ARHM) over the asphalt concrete pavement leveling course • Application of crack sealing material
• Application of emulsion aggregate slurry (Type II Slurry Seal) These improvements are accompanied by:
• Relocating existing utility pull boxes
Project Approach
31 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 • Adjusting utility frame and covers to finished roadway pavement grade • Coordinating and obtaining necessary permits from third party agencies and stakeholders, if needed, such as County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Caltrans, and other stakeholders involved in the project
Our team will review the project scope of work outlined in the RFP , verify, and identify any additional necessary items during the project site investigation / walk. Our team has already scrutinized the RFP’s project scope, walked the project several times and pinpointed specific improvements and new elements required for the design phase. Some of these items are as follows:

C(1) Proper Street Drainage and Eliminating Localized Ponding and Depressed Areas Based on the topographic survey, site investigation, LA county Storm Drain System inventory, and city records, our team will identify sumps and depressed areas prone to localized ponding. In such areas the road and / or curb and gutter shall be removed and replaced. The new construction will have adequate grades to avoid ponding and properly drain to local catch basins.

C(2) ADA Curb-Ramps
Our design team members have complete knowledge of the ADA requirements and we have been creative in our approach to designing construction details, as related to improvements in the public right-of-way, including curb ramps, to fit the needed improvement within the existing constraints of each location to the best possible extent. In cases when this cannot be achieved, we devise solutions with minimum impact to the surrounding existing improvements, acknowledging project cost controls. Our certified CASp professional, Jay Shih, PE, CBO, CASp will assist with evaluations of all ADA requirements associated with this project.

The topographic survey will provide slope details on our ramps allowing our design team to ascertain all rehabilitation recommendations required for each ramp. The team will comply with ADA regulations and guidelines. As a minimum, curb ramps, sidewalks and walkways will be comprehensively reviewed to provide full compliance with the latest federal and state ADA guidelines.

C(3) Sidewalk Replacement
During the team’s site investigation, the team will identify and record any sections of sidewalk that are not up to current standards, hazardous, broken and / or damaged. Standards for sidewalk include ADA Standards for Accessible Design, LA County Standard Plans, Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, City of Compton Standards. The team will provide improvement plans for the selective removal and repair of such sections of sidewalk as well as other concrete improvements on North Pearl Ave within city’s right of way.

C(4) Curb and Gutter Flow Lines
During the team’s site investigation, the team will identify and record any sections of concrete curbs and gutters, driveways, cross gutters, catch basin local depressions, bus pads, and alley aprons that are broken, damaged or interfere with the proper flow of water in the gutter. The improvement plans for such concrete improvements on damaged or interfering sections, as well as sidewalk improvements will be provided.

C(5) Landscape Improvements as Needed
Our approach to landscape is to design for long term maintenance through robust landscape construction plans & details along with project inspections. We first address long term maintenance by dealing with soil compaction and lack of organics Project Approach

32 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 within the root profile. Typically, this is often overlooked in landscape construction or addressed minimally with little to no effect. Compacted soils are arguably one of the most significant causes of plant material loss within landscape projects.

A common method to landscape irrigation is generally all point source irrigation either through inline drip or point source emitters that can apply water directly to the root ball. Overhead irrigation is only used when active turf areas are being proposed on a project. Gate valves are located strategically throughout the mainline for the isolating of issues and individual shut valves are placed behind each valve for better system management.

The planting plan first starts with the palette selected which we tend to focus on low water use climate appropriate selections that are readily available within the nursery industry. Plant material is placed for swaths of density without creating a problem long term for maintenance personnel. Plant quality is outlined in our details and specifications and the material is only accepted after being inspected on the job site with the Contractor. The exterior root ball of each woody plant is shaved to remove any defects and a thick layer of mulch is placed in the planting areas to minimize water loss through evapotranspiration.

C(6) Bike Lane Markings as Feasible
Our team will develop a consensus around the goals of the conceptual design and options for final recommendation per the city’s direction. The team will examine the feasibility of various types of bike facilities. Amir Farahani, PE, TE was the city traffic engineer for the City of Orange and managed the planning and implementation of the city’s bicycle master plan. Amir shall examine the current roadway geometry and lane configuration. The team will perform an evaluation of both Class II and Class III Bicycle facilities based on the existing physical roadway conditions including lane width and configuration, safety issues and traffic speeds and volumes that need to be met for each of the two on-street bicycle facility classes. Then provide the final recommendation of the type of bicycle facilities given the results of the study. The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Highway Design Manual (HDM) provide the minimum requirements for bicycle facilities.

The Urban Bikeway Design Guide by the National Association of City Transportation Officials and the Federal Highway Administration’s Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation will provide additional recommendations to aid our team.

Based on the bicycle facilities class the team will compile a striping and signage plan for the bike lanes.

Project Approach

33 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 We ensure all traffic signing, striping, markings, and curb painting shall conform to the Caltrans Standard Specifications of the State of California (2022 edition), Department of Transportation, and the City of Compton required specifications to perform the following:
• Installing new thermoplastic traffic striping, pavement markings • Coordinating and obtaining necessary permits from third party agencies such as Caltrans, and other stakeholders involved in the project as needed
C(7) Traffic Calming Measures (Sped Bumps) and Traffic Control Markings and Stripings / Signage as Required Our team has specialized expertise in transportation planning and design, and documented success in developing and implementing a variety of traffic calming devices. Our proposed senior traffic engineer, Amir Farahani, PE, TE, shall determine the best traffic calming measures for North Pearl Avenue based on traffic patterns and city / community input. Traffic calming focuses on reducing driver speeds by focusing on driver’s reactionary behavior to road modifications. Types of roadway modifications our team has experience with and may use include signing or markings, physical intersection modifications, roadway narrowing, vertical road elements and physical roadway segment modification. Some examples of such include pedestrian hybrid beacons, roundabouts, curb extension / bulb outs, speed hump, and chicanes respectively. This approach works with driver behavior within certain environments and conditions to obtain results, in accordance with the Vision Zero and FHWA’s Safe Systems Approach. Traffic calming recenters multimodal transportation with the city’s network, allowing communities of low and moderate incomes to safely use the road and sidewalks without the use of personal vehicles. Our team will consider the use of each method with the help of the “Traffic Calming Guide” published by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the “California Safe Speeds Toolkit” by SafeTRC at UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research.

D) CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLANS AND CONSTRUCTION BID DOCUMENTS Our team will prepare and supply project location maps and additional materials for the Council to be informed and understand our work and plans for the project. Progress reports, along with invoices, will be submitted monthly to the city Project Approach

34 IE Bowman | Professional Engineering Design Services for North Pearl Avenue Road Improvements | August 12, 2024 and include an updated project schedule, a discussion of issues / decisions, recommendations to address issues, budget status, action items, and progress to completion. Progress on the project will be constantly updated and monitored using Microsoft Project.

After stakeholders’ and city’s approval of concept design for the proposed improvements, our team, along with our subconsultants, will provide professional services to complete all items as outlined, including all deliverables. Based on the approved concept plans, our team will prepare design documents at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% / Final completion stages for the city’s review and approval. In coordination with the city, we can forward the plans to other stakeholders for review and to get feedback from each agency. At each submittal, previous comments will be incorporated in the design documents for the city’s review.

All plans will be prepared in CAD and will be approved by state of California registered civil engineers. In addition to signed and sealed drawings, electronic copies of the plans will be delivered to the city for its records. We use Civil3D software in our design department to achieve project schedule goals and a higher quality of work. In preparation of the plans, we will follow Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, Caltrans Standard Plans, and CA-MUTCD, as well as all available city standards, and any other applicable state and federal codes.

D(1) Distribute Utility Notices B & C
Our utility coordinator will continue to prepare utility notification letters and send notices (with signature from the City Engineer) to all concerned utility agencies as per our before mentioned three step process. All utilities that the team is notified on will be delineated on the updated current set of plans within the sphere of the project. We are aware of concerns about resolution of any and all possible conflicts impacting project schedule. We are dedicated to making sure there will be no such delays. In the event utilities exist within the proposed project site, we will transmit notices and preliminary plans to the affected utility agencies to confirm that their facilities have been shown correctly on the plan. If relocations or adjustments are needed, we will determine the magnitude of the relocation, schedules, and further coordination requirements. Prior to project bidding, we will transmit notices and approved project plans to affected utility agencies, as previously identified, requesting immediate relocation. We will provide the utility company name, construction field representative name, and phone number for inclusion on the plans and in the specifications.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER
FOR NV5, INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION

SERVICES FOR THE WILMINGTON AVENUE SAFE STREETS
PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CIP# 18-02 ($462,458).

SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Four Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Eight Dollars ($462,458) to NV5, Inc. for the provision of construction management and inspection services for the Wilmington Avenue Safe Streets Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvement Project, CIP# 18-02.

BACKGROUND
On July 26, 2024, the City of Compton (“City”) performed an update to the Pavement Management Program, which identified approximately 134 miles of “Fair” to “Very Poor” citywide street conditions. These findings indicate that the proper funding of the street network needs to continually be improved upon to sustain or improve the overall Pavement Condition Index. The PCI is a condition rating that ranges from 0 to 100. The PCI average for the City of Compton is 60.8 which is considered “Fair”. As a result, preventative maintenance is significantly overdue and presents safety and liability concerns to the City.

On October 1, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,129, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract services agreement with a contractor to provide construction services for the Wilmington Avenue Safe Streets Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvement Project, CIP# 18-02.

The Wilmington Avenue Safe Streets Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvement Project, CIP# 18-02 consist of pavement rehabilitation, ADA compliant curb ramps, median improvements, sidewalk improvements, driveway improvements, signing & striping, traffic signal and other minor associated work on Wilmington Avenue from Rosecrans Avenue to the City Limit South.

An essential component of this project is to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced engineering firm to provide construction management and inspection services.
