BELMONT PLAZA POOL REBUILD/REVITALIZATION
Client: City of Long Beach
Services: Project Management
Start: 2014 Complete: Ongoing
Project Value: $85 million
Team Members: Dino D’Emilia, PE, F.ASCE, QSD (Principal-in-Charge); Oscar Gonzalez, PE (Project Manager); Gafur Oyewo (Assistant Project Manager); Joe Stoakley, PE, QSD (Assistant Project Manager); Dustin Blackwell (Project Controls Officer) Ardurra is providing project management services for construction of a $85-million world-class aquatic center on the former site of the historic Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool.
The aging original facility near the Belmont Pier was demolished in 2014 due to concerns over its seismic resilience. Dedicated in 1968, that oceanfront aquatic center hosted the preliminary U.S. Olympic swimming trials 15 days after it opened.
Plans call for a world-class facility to host regional and national competitive swim, water polo and diving events as well as programs and recreational swimming for the public.
Ardurra’s project involvement has taken many forms, from procuring contractors through the City’s Job Order Contracting Program to managing demolition of the massive original structure. The oversight has extended to construction of an office, a temporary aquatics lobby, and temporary restroom and shower facilities to support a newly constructed temporary pool. That 50-meter outdoor pool, adjacent to the site of the future aquatic center, is attracting numerous recreational and lap swimmers and hosts competitive meets.
Ardurra’s foundational role in this project is reflected in a wide range of activities and accomplishments to date. Ardurra represents the City in all negotiations, meetings and community outreach. Ardurra prepared a comprehensive request for qualifications and facilitated the evaluation of 21 proposals, the interview of five shortlisted firms and engagement of the selected world-class architectural team to design the project. Ardurra authors, maintains and updates a project website and administers project announcements through various media sources for the project. Ardurra is the primary contact for the project’s public relations. Ardurra manages the conceptual design, preparation and circulation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Ardurra coordinates the public process required to support certification of the EIR and re-certification after receipt of several appeals. Ardurra assists the City in compiling the administrative record to prevail over a petition (lawsuit) challenging the certification of the EIR.
Ardurra assists with the processing of entitlements and the Coastal Development Permit Application (CDP) to the California Coastal Commission. The CDP application involves development of several supplemental studies including addressing alternate project sites, citywide programs to attract and enhance the vast city’s demographic population to experience and use the proposed facility, sea-level rise/wave uprush analyses as well as other key Coastal Commission concerns.
The project utilizes funding from the City’s Tidelands Capital Improvement Division. These funds are dependent on oil prices, which have dropped substantially since project inception. Funding is currently lacking to construct the facility. Ardurra is spearheading value engineering analyses and a subsequent entitlement and community outreach project to adjust the project to available funding sources.

6.5 inches of asphalt on top of the treated base layer. The project also included the R&R of some existing curb and gutter and ramps and crosswalks.
GAI provided an as-constructed pavement evaluation to evaluate strength characteristics of the recently paved section, including asphalt concrete and cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB) placed at El Prado Road between Kimball Avenue and Central Avenue. GAI performed site reconnaissance and finalized testing segments; traffic control during the field operation; Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test along the entire length of the street, with 200-foot apart tests, and 50-foot apart tests in two limited segments; evaluated and analyzed the FWD test data; and prepared a final report.
“Nice work team! This is a huge milestone
for the project. Terminating a contractor,
negotiating with the surety, onboarding
a replacement contractor, fielding the
media inquiries, and expediting review
and execution of the takeover agreement
is no easy task. But this team made it look
effortless. Thanks for all the hard work and
late nights to bring this together.”

Ardurra will also review any mitigating factors that may be required as a result of the findings made part of the negative declaration and determine how best to implement these findings with minor impacts to the project. Ardurra’s proven management approach is outlined below and will be incorporated into this project to ensure quality control from start to finish.
POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES
Professional Design Support: During the design period, Ardurra will review and identify items that may be long lead items and establish anticipated lengths of time required for delivery. In addition, when possible, such as with specified play equipment, domestic vendors and fabricators will be favored in order to avoid potential delays experienced with non-domestic vendors. Special attention will be paid to the grading plan and minimal export will be encouraged, if possible, to reduce construction truck traffic. Ardurra will also provide input on the demolition plan and look at phasing options to reduce the impact to adjacent properties. Ardurra will also assist staff with the inclusion of specific language in the bid documents to ensure that contractors bidding this project are prequalified to do so.
Adjacent Properties: Arnold Cypress Park is currently surrounded by both single-family and multi-family homes to the east, west and south, and Kennedy High School lies to the north of the park across Crescent Avenue. Given the close proximity of adjacent properties as well as the high school, it will be imperative to incorporate a public relations strategy to keep all affected parties well informed of activities throughout the course of the project. During grading operations and throughout the course of construction, dust control measures will be required and strict enforcement maintained.
Given the high level of foot traffic generated by students at Kennedy High School, the ingress and egress of construction vehicles will be evaluated and located in the safest area. Traffic control requirements will be determined and strictly enforced throughout the construction phase.
Google Maps screenshot showing the proximity of Arnold Cypress Park within the residential community and Kennedy High School to the north Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 28 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Prequalification Process: Ardurra's CM team is well-versed at conducting public bid prequalification processes. The team will blend the City’s RFQ process with the Labor Commissioner’s Model Questionnaire in order to conduct a prequalification process for the project that complies with Public Contract Code Section 20101.
Ardurra can also utilize recent examples of prequalification processes implemented on other public agency projects.
Safety: First and foremost, Ardurra always considers safety the most important issue on any construction project. Ardurra managers and inspectors are at a minimum 10-hour OSHA-certified. Our team will recommend key safety provisions to require the contractor to have competent safety personnel and site-specific safety programs employed on the project at all times and will monitor the contractor’s operations for compliance with the project safety requirements and requisite provisions of state and federal law.
Public Relations: The Ardurra team is empathetic to the motorists, residents, and businesses that are affected by construction operations, and we are well versed at mitigating such impacts throughout the construction process. We take a proactive approach to reach out to the public, resulting in the successful completion of public works improvement projects in close proximity to adjacent property owners. Strict adherence to allowable working hours, and noise and dust control requirements will be imperative to minimize impacts. The project team will intensify and continue the public relations effort as the start of construction nears and throughout the duration of the project.
Protocol and Communication: Timely and concise communications are essential to the successful completion of any construction project.
Protocol will be determined as appropriate for each project and maintained for the project duration. Communications and correspondence will be handled in a professional and respectful manner. Ardurra equips its CM team with the state-of-the-art in electronic management hardware and software, such that electronic documentation is utilized for as much of the required documentation as possible. The Ardurra CM team is well-versed in serving as the primary project contact, acting as the hub of communication with timely distribution of requisite correspondence and documentation to all respective stakeholders as applicable. In addition to time-tested and efficient construction administration and project controls procedures, documents, and programs, Ardurra offers the web-based collaboration of Procore. Procore is a widely used cloud-based construction software that maximizes the efficiency of managing construction projects while connecting project participants to critical project documents and real-time project data.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Management Process: Ardurra’s construction management quality assurance and quality control process starts with standardization of successful procedures. All projects utilize Ardurra’s standardized project electronic filing system, which is mirrored with a binder-based hard copy indexed system. Ardurra’s electronic filing system is a cloud-based system accessible real-time to all Ardurra project team members as well as its client as requested. Daily, weekly, and periodic correspondence, logs and reports are regularly reviewed for accuracy, up-to-date maintenance, aging, and escalation of issues, appropriateness, potential changes and/or claims and contract compliance.
Ardurra CM and inspection staff are equipped with the latest computer, software, smart phone, and internet field connectivity devices. Additionally, Ardurra provides its staff with all required tools, standards, and equipment. Ardurra employs both in-house and outsourced IT support services that continuously monitor and maintain its technology systems. Ardurra also offers its employees excellent benefits, encourages, and compensates for continuous education, resulting in a loyal team of professionals with longevity of service that are on top the latest industry trends. Ardurra’s approach and process for client construction contract quality assurance is detailed in the scope of services section.
Temporary and Permanent Utilities: Early and continuous coordination with utilities is imperative to ensure timely availability of temporary and permanent services. Ardurra has extensive experience assisting contractors in dealing with local utilities on complex utility coordination projects for other agencies as well as for utility agencies directly.
Our team is sensitive to the affects of construction operations to this community and will adhere to all requirements (such as noise and dust control as well as allowable working hours) to minimize impacts. (image: Google)
Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 29 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP): Bidders should be clearly apprised of the minimum requirements to mitigate stormwater during each phase of construction. It is recommended that a SWPPP be included in the bid package with corresponding separate bid items. The Ardurra team is well-versed at verifying best management practices (BMP) and monitoring establishment, maintenance, and modification of SWPPP measures on complex multi-phase projects. Additionally, the Ardurra team has acted as the data submitter for several local agencies, and implemented the Notice of Intent (NOI) application, uploading of various reports, and processing of the Notice of Termination (NOT).
Availability of Suitable Import: Significant delays can occur if suitable import material is not found within a reasonable distance from the site.
The specifications should be clear on the minimum radius from which the contractor should be required to import soils. Depending on the criteria of the soils report, screening or other processing requirements should be stipulated in the bid documents should local material not be required.
Minimum documentation requirements should also be detailed to qualify a contractor’s request for additional, non-compensable delay days if the availability of soils is purported to impact the schedule. The Ardurra CM team has extensive experience expediting suitable soils for earthwork operations on public projects.
Schedule: The ability of the construction manager to
monitor, track and control the contractor rests largely on the adequacy of the specifications and schedule requirements set forth to the contractor. Ardurra will recommend time tested language for incorporation into the bid documents to establish useful and fair scheduling requirements to keep a proactive look-ahead tool for the project.
Additionally, these requirements will include provisions to establish clear procedures for addressing only legitimate impacts to project time, thereby minimizing the need for delay related change orders, disputes, and their resulting costs.
Ardurra CM staff work proactively and cooperatively with contractors on a weekly basis to review and coordinate upcoming activities, drilling down on each activity to identify key quality assurance, safety, pedestrian control, submittals and/or documentation requirements necessary to successfully implement upcoming activities.
Substitutions and Submittals: Timely procurement of materials and equipment for any building construction project is imperative. By submitting its bid, the contractor is indicating it can successfully procure and construct the necessary components within the allotted time. Ardurra will recommend provisions to be added to the specifications to require that the contractor clearly identifies required lead times for all components of the project through a detailed, subsection by subsection submittal log, tied to the critical path schedule. Ardurra CM staff will assist the City to continuously monitor that the contractor submits each item in a timely manner and that the review and approval of each item is not unnecessarily delayed by the City and/or A/E review process. Responses will be clearly documented to note the contractor’s failure to meet specification requirements, thereby maintaining the contractor’s responsibility to meet the contract completion deadline. Any substitution requests will only be processed for consideration if the item is considered equal or a substantial savings can be identified with little or no degradation to the quality or function intended for the specified item.
Requests for Information (RFI): Ardurra will receive review, expedite, and process responses to contractor RFIs. Contractors typically utilize the RFI process to initiate changes on construction contracts. Ardurra staff reviews all RFIs and clearly documents those responses, clarifying that no additional cost or time will be considered. Should a response to an RFI appear to potentially impact cost or time, Ardurra will identify and recommend implementation of the most best cost and quality alternative to the City and expedite implementation with the contractor.
Contractor’s Representation: Consistent and competent representation by the contractor is a key factor in the successful completion of any building project. The public works industry in Southern California is a haven for contractors who act as brokers, constructing projects using a small management staff and all else by subcontractors. While some are successful at this approach, the contractor’s ability to maintain quality control is substantially lower in a low bid environment. Ardurra will recommend clear and specific requirements for inclusion into the bid documents to establish: 1) the minimum percentage of work required to be performed by the prime contractor; 2) documentation requirements for verification ID Task Name Duration Start Finish

Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 30 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation of the amount of work to be subcontracted; 3) requirements for the contractor’s full-time project management, safety officer and superintendence throughout the project; and 4) minimum qualifications for the contractor’s project manager, safety officer and superintendent. Ardurra CM staff work proactively and cooperatively with contractor staff to monitor proper supervision during construction operations.
Change Management/Claims Resolution: Ardurra will implement its time-tested claims management process to minimize changes to the project and avoid claims such that the project can be quickly and successfully closed out. The basis for Ardurra procedures is a well-organized documentation system, a keen understanding of the construction process, exceptionally qualified staff, and fair and firm negotiations. The Ardurra CM team will not defer difficult issues and will process only change issues that have been analyzed and determined to have merit. Those items will only be recommended for consideration when the most reasonable cost and time have been negotiated and all alternatives to avoid the impact have been exhausted and/or resolved.
Contracts for Public Works Inspection: For contracts involving public works inspection services, Ardurra requires the awarding public agency to complete DIR form PWC-100 solely for Ardurra Group, Inc. as the Prime Contractor specific to the awarded contract name and amount.

Bidability/Constructability: The Ardurra CM team has extensive experience optimizing project bid documents for public agencies. Conducting a bidability/constructability review of construction bid documents typically results in savings substantially exceeding the cost of the review services.
Public bid documents consist of many separate sections, plans, permits, and reference standards. Ardurra is very well-versed in reviewing public bid documents to identify potential conflicts, omissions and/or recommendations for alternative methods or products to achieve similar to better results at equivalent or less cost. The Ardurra constructability/bidability review methodology is further detailed in the scope of services section below.
aConstructability Review of Bid Documents
Constructability reviews will be conducted as directed by the City ( 60% and 90% design phases for the project). A punch list of comments and recommendations will be submitted to the City for consideration and implementation with the project architect.
The CM team will review the plans for bidability and constructability and identify potential value engineering solutions, ambiguities, conflicts and/or omissions apparent during its review. The bid documents and technical specifications will also be reviewed for potential duplication/ overlap of clauses, conflicts, proper placement of critical requirements within the order and precedence of documents. Ardurra will also recommend key contract provisions to provide the necessary controls and remedies for the City to maintain a proactive approach on the project, as noted in the approach section above.
The CM constructability/bidability review typically involves the following:
y Checking pothole data and as-built underground and overhead utility information against proposed design and assisting the design team in resolving any resulting conflicts.
y Identifying and implementing quantity measurement methodologies to obtain the most efficient and accurate field measurements during construction.
y Comparing plan notes with standard and special revisions, eliminating and/or removing any conflicts/overlapping requirements. y Check quantities.
Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 31 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation y Check construction notes and proposed improvements against bid items and bid item descriptions/identify and resolve apparent inconsistencies and/or gaps.
y Compare proposed removals with proposed improvements and existing field conditions y Recommend special provisions language for project-specific and time-tested public contract remedies. y Recommend order and precedence revisions and/or standard specification modification, as applicable. y Recommend bid item allowances, alternates and minimum performance requirements, contractor deferred design items, e.g., detailed traffic control phases, pedestrian safety measures, public relations activities, SWPPP/NOI development and processing, etc. y Establish bid evaluation criteria. Prepare Request for Bid documents. y Project Phasing: It is imperative that the bidders have complete and clear disclosure of any phasing requirements to maintain City and/ or other stakeholder operations throughout construction. In order to minimize the potential for impacts and/or claims, minimum phasing plans or narrative requirements will be recommended for inclusion in the bid documents and a separate bid line item(s) be established to identify the adequacy of the bidders’ intent to facilitate the necessary phasing requirements. Additionally, separate sub-milestones can be established (with separately calculated liquidated damages attached) to ensure that the phases are properly carried out to ensure the continuous and unobstructed use of critical existing operations (if any). Ardurra has extensive experience working with contractors to facilitate critical phasing requirements on complex projects. y Project Scoping: Check for clear identification of project limits. For unit price contracts with budgetary limits (e.g., projects with indefinite paving rehabilitation areas) methodology to maintain quantities delivered within the budget program will be developed and implemented into the bid documents and project procedures.

Safe Conditions
Ardurra will monitor project work and adjacent areas for unsafe conditions, promptly require corrective measures to be addressed by the contractor in compliance with the contract documents and report such issues and corrective measures taken to the City. One of the most pervasive job hazards across all public works projects is construction adjacent to live traffic lanes. Ardurra inspectors are intimately familiar with monitoring and enforcing proper traffic controls per the WATCH handbook, MUTCD and/or project-specific traffic control/traffic handling/detour plans. Inspectors drive and/or walk the project limits at the start, during, and before leaving the site each day to monitor proper and/or necessary corrections to the required traffic control measures.
Field Public Relations
Ardurra’s construction manager and inspector will take a lead role to address public relations concerns. All inquiries and issues will be listened to and documented with accurate contact information for prompt follow-up. Feasible mitigation and public relations measures to issues identified will be implemented immediately to minimize impacts to the surrounding public uses.
The construction manager and inspector will work with businesses, motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and residents to address issues expeditiously for resolution in the field whenever feasible. Any issues that cannot be immediately addressed in the field will be communicated through appropriate protocols with recommendations for the most efficient resolution. Ardurra will expedite implementation of the solution that serves the project’s best interests, as mutually determined with the City, contractor, and affected parties.
Office Engineering
Office engineering duties will include attending meetings to take notes; preparing meeting minutes; updating the weekly statement of working days; tracking and logging all preliminary notices, stop notices, releases, correspondence, submittals and RFIs; quality control of inspection reports; prevailing wage inspection labor compliance administration; and change management documentation. Office engineers may also be asked to assist with the review and analysis of schedule updates, RFIs, submittals and cost estimates.
Quality Assurance
Ardurra will enforce the quality assurance plan, in conformance with the City’s quality assurance manual, or as developed by Ardurra and the City for the specific needs of the project. Ardurra will perform and/or coordinate QA/QC activities daily and review activities as they happen, to make sure that QA/QC procedures are followed and deficiencies resolved in a timely and efficient manner. Ardurra inspector(s) will visit the site on a part-time or full-time basis, as required by the City, during the normal working hours and when critical activities require to verify construction progress and to verify that all work conforms to contract requirements. Deputy and special inspection and materials sampling and testing will be coordinated and provided as required by the final plans and specifications. The Ardurra team will monitor testing services, track documentation and review testing results. Ardurra CM staff will also review test reports (certificates of compliance) submitted by others to substantiate compliance and ensure that certificates of compliance or source release tags are furnished by the contractor along with the applicable delivered materials at the project site. When necessary, corrective measures will be implemented and re-inspected/re-tested to verify acceptable completion. Ardurra will reject work that does not conform to the requirements of the contract documents and will promptly report unacceptable work to the City and contractor. Rejected work will be thoroughly documented, photographed, and tracked until repaired or replaced to the satisfaction of the City.

Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 39 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Schedule Review
Ardurra is intimately familiar with mainstream scheduling software utilized by the public works contracting industry, including, but not limited to Primavera P3®, Suretrak® and Microsoft Project®. The Ardurra construction manager will review the baseline construction schedule, including activity sequences and duration, schedule of submittals and schedule of delivery for products with long lead times. The CM team will evaluate the baseline project schedule for the following:
aConsistency with the contract schedule (completion within the contract time) aAccurate start dates, completion dates, other dates detailed in the contract aAny impacts of weather and change orders
aSufficient detail, including submittal process and procurement requirements aSequence of construction and correct schedule logic
aIdentification of the critical path and project float
The schedule will not be recommended for approval as the baseline until all discrepancies are resolved.
Schedule Control
During the progress of construction, the Ardurra CM team will compare the contractor’s monthly schedule updates to the baseline schedule and any approved time extensions, note any shortcomings, and monitor and track corrections by the contractor to keep the project schedule on time. A four-week look-ahead will be required from the contractor, updated weekly, and presented at the weekly construction progress meetings.
This tool will keep the entire team looking one month ahead of the project and will facilitate proactive handling of project activities and issues. If necessary, Ardurra will negotiate time extensions due to change orders or other delays.
SWPPP
Ardurra CM and inspection staff will enforce all provisions of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and/or other requisite requirements set forth in the specifications. Ardurra CM staff is well versed in SWPPP monitoring through provision of dedicated services for oversight of developers and contractors on behalf of several public agencies. At a minimum SWPPP requirements will be monitored and a specific SWPPP checklist will be compiled. Any deficiencies noted will be addressed with the contractor for immediate remedy. Upon a weather report of expecting rain, a site walk will be conducted to ensure that SWPPP measures are in place and well maintained. Additionally, if desired by the City, the Ardurra team can be assigned as the data submitter for the project to implement the NOI application, uploading of various reports, and processing of the NOT on the SMART website.
Change Management
Ardurra will establish, implement, and coordinate systems for consideration, negotiation, processing, and implementation of change orders. Each issue, which is identified as a potential change to the design, scope, cost, or contract time will generate a uniquely numbered potential change order (PCO). The construction manager will determine whether or not a change notice should be considered. The plans and specifications will be reviewed against the change notice. If the issue does not appear to be included in the plans or specifications, the construction manager will negotiate the scope and cost for the most efficient, cost and quality appropriate solution with the contractor and City. Any credits for work deleted as a result of the change will be required at this time as well. The construction manager will maintain a trend log, listing potential changes as identified, either formally or informally. This trend log shall be used such that potential change items are not overlooked or deferred until the end of the job. Ardurra will prepare independent cost estimates as required for contract change orders. Upon approval by the City, the construction manager will prepare, log and process change orders for full execution, and administer their implementation. Once fully executed, the CM team will expedite and review the timely completion of the work and coordinate inclusion of the change order in the appropriate payment application.
Example 4-Week Look-Ahead Schedule
Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 40 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Claims Avoidance
Ardurra will assist the City with claims filed by the contractor in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the general specifications, and the standard specifications. Ardurra is well-versed at negotiating and resolving claims amicably between contractors and public agencies. Should a claim require work in addition to Ardurra’s contract, Ardurra will be available on a time-and-materials basis if desired by the City, including assistance with processing required forms and coordinating with the DLAE, and processing additional funding if applicable. The provision of any legal advice or services is specifically excluded.
Daily Extra Work Reports
The Ardurra CM and inspection team will verify and sign contractor’s daily extra work reports documenting force account (time and materials) work.
In particular, Ardurra will monitor that only appropriate worker classifications necessary for approved time and materials work is included on extra work reports. Any inappropriate workforce and/or equipment charges will be promptly rejected and removed from extra work reports.
Progress Payment Processing
A cost control system, based on the contractor's schedule of values, approved change orders and the contract amount shall be developed and implemented to monitor progress costs. Monthly cost reports will be submitted to the City as a component of the monthly progress report.
Ardurra will establish quantity measurement forms and methods for each bid item. The construction manager will coordinate with the City’s inspector and Ardurra’s alternate inspectors to provide detailed quantity measurements for work as it is installed. Quantity measurements will include the specific location placed, field measurement and quantity calculation in accordance with the specified measurement and payment provision for each bid item, and any backup documentation such as certificate of compliance, materials delivery ticket, as appropriate for the item measured. The contractor’s representative will be required to acknowledge daily quantities measured, to eliminate the need for post-installation revisits of bid item quantities. All quantities will be properly documented on inspector daily reports and tied to a quantity measurement report that will be certified by the inspector, construction manager, and City representative.
The Ardurra CM and inspection team will review the payment applications submitted by the contractor and determine
whether the amount requested reflects the progress of
the contractor's work. Appropriate adjustments to each
payment application will be required by the contractor.
When the payment application is acceptable and all backup documentation is verified (certified payrolls, lien releases), Ardurra will prepare and forward to the City a progress payment report. The report shall state the total contract price, payments to date, current payment requested, retainage and actual amounts owed for the current period. The Ardurra team is experienced with evaluating complex pay applications. It is critical to the City’s best interest that payment application review be performed accurately and prudently to maintain the prime and subcontractor incentives to perform on the projects.
Cashflow Management (Preliminary Notices, Releases and Stop Notices) Ardurra recognizes that the diligent monitoring and tracking of preliminary notices, conditional and unconditional releases is an important component of public construction management, enables the team to stay abreast of the construction contract cash flow and provides for excellent documentation of prompt payment as required by federal funding.
The construction manager will maintain a detailed log of preliminary notices and require conditional and unconditional releases from the contractor for all first-tier subcontractors and any-tier subcontractors that submit a preliminary notice.
Example Certified Payroll Log
Section 3: Project Understanding and Management Approach [ 41 ] City of Cypress Public Works Department | 02-25-2022 Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Proactive monitoring of releases typically minimizes the incidences of stop notices. Should any stop notices be received, Ardurra will work proactively with the contractor to address release of the stop notice and withhold 150% of the stop notice amount from progress and/or retention payments until the proper unconditional release is documented. aArdurra’s inspector will conduct employee interviews in conformance with the Davis-Bacon Act and/or other funding agency requirements. aCertified payrolls and fringe benefit statements will be received and logged for each contractor and subcontractor on the project. aCertified payrolls will be reviewed to confirm proper wages and benefits are paid to each employee and classification. aCertified payrolls will be compared to inspector daily reports to confirm each employee, number of hours, and appropriate classification observed on site was paid the proper amount.
aCertified payrolls will be compared against employee interviews. aAny discrepancies identified will be documented and coordinated with the appropriate contractor or subcontractor through the appropriate resolution via the appropriate restitution paid to the employee, supplemental or corrected certified payroll submittal or supplemental daily report entries to correct mis-recorded entries.
aListed DBE firm’s certificate information, subcontracted work items and amounts and DBE certificate expiration dates will be logged at the outset of the project and reviewed with the project team. aThe Ardurra inspector daily reports will indicate when DBE subcontractors are utilized.
Plans, Specifications, and As-Builts
Ardurra will periodically review the contractor’s as-built updates on the approved job plan set, identify missing items, and require the contractor to keep as-built records up-to-date throughout the project. Ardurra CM staff keeps its own set of as-built plans that will note the location of subsurface utilities encountered and/or installed, identify where any design or field changes were required (utilizing the corresponding RFI and/ or change order numbers), and note the location of critical building components that are covered by finish work. At the end of the project, the final as-built plans are submitted to the City.
Closeout Documents
Ardurra staff will enforce the provisions of the specifications to require and expedite the contractor to submit well-coordinated operations and maintenance manuals, warranties and guarantees, bonds, extra stock and/or other items required by the contract documents such that a timely closeout of the project is implemented. Ardurra will perform closeout duties including final organization of project files and submit to the City for final approval and assist with the filing of the Notice of Completion and Release of Retention.
Pre-Final Inspection
The construction manager and inspector will coordinate with appropriate project stakeholders, perform the final job walk, and prepare the punch list (deficiency list). Ardurra will coordinate, expedite, and observe completion of required corrections.
Final Inspection
Satisfactory completion of all punch list items is verified before Ardurra recommends processing of the Notice of Completion. Ardurra is noted for attention to detail. Not only have we excelled at closing out our own projects, but we have been requested to and successfully closed out problem city projects in which our services were not initially utilized.
Upon completion of the punch list and final sign off by all project stakeholders, Ardurra will make recommendation to the City regarding the contractor’s final progress payment request and prepare the final progress payment report for submission to the City.
Delivery of As-Builts and Closeout Documents
Ardurra will periodically review the contractor’s as-built updates on the approved job plan set, identify missing items, and require the contractor to keep as-built records up-to-date throughout the project as required by the specifications. Ardurra will review the contractor's submittal of “as-constructed” conditions and compare this submittal to Ardurra’s own documentation. Discrepancies will be discussed, resolved, and recorded.

Assistant City Engineer

Cypress, California 90630
Subject: Construction Management Services for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Dear Mr. Mangkalakiri,
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal for the subject project. Dudek has managed and inspected the construction of numerous park projects throughout southern California over the past 35 years. We recently managed and inspected an $11.0 million dollar sports park for the City of Fontana that has similar elements as the City’s Arnold Cypress Park. Aside from that project, Dudek also assisted on the City of Carlsbad’s Alga Norte Park Project, a $30 million project that also contained similar facilities as this project. Dudek performed a thorough constructability review of the Alga Norte Park project and found several issues that if left uncorrected, would have resulted in numerous change orders.
The project principal for this project is Mr. George Litzinger who will be supported by the Dudek team as required.
He will implement a proactive management approach during constructability reviews and will focus on avoiding project delays, meeting budgets, and achieving successful completion of the project without claims.
Should you have any questions or require additional information during the proposal evaluation process, please contact me on my cell at 619.980.7048 or [email protected].
Sincerely,

1.2 Team Organization
We understand that the City is seeking a construction management firm to assist with constructability reviews during the design process and serve as your representative during construction, interfacing with the City throughout the design and construction phase. It is crucial that Dudek implement a work program that effectively communicates the project requirements and, more importantly, establishes a process that ensures incorporation of all details in the final work product. Figures 2/3 below identify the Dudek team for the design and construction phases, proposed roles of the key personnel, and outlines the lines of communication. George Litzinger, Construction Management Division Manager, will ultimately be responsible for all aspects of this project.
Dudek’s policy is to not change managers during a project and, in this case, it is extremely important from a consistency standpoint. It is also important that all project communication and correspondence is coordinated through one person. Mr. George Litzinger will be the point of contact for the City to avoid miscommunication. It will be his responsibility to organize and direct the required resources and to implement the work plan described in this proposal.
As requested in the RFP, resumes following the Caltrans Standard Form 330 format follow the Organizational Charts.

3. Project Approach
3.1 Project Understanding
This project involves the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park, including four (4) softball fields, batting cages, pickleball courts, lights, playground, picnic pavilion, restroom, walking paths, and basketball/volleyball courts.
The proposed Dudek team is uniquely qualified to manage this project due to our extensive background in constructing similar active-use parks and building projects.
Our role in the project will be to assist the City by providing the constructability review so that plans are clear, concise, and constructible, ensuring cost overruns are minimized and the project can be built on time. Our construtability reviews of park and building projects have saved the owners a significant amount of time and money. We identify busts, ambiguities, and missing information that contractors will use to claim delays and extra costs. A typical example that results in change orders is not performing sufficient geotechnical investigations during design and utility conflicts. Once our review is complete, we will generate a list of issues to be discussed with the City. We will coordinate with the utilities to complete any new or outstanding work orders.
We understand the challenges with this project, will discuss them with the City, and will be good neighbors with the residents throughout the project. Dudek recently managed an $11 million park project for the City of Fontana that is very similar. We are coordinating with the residents, and strictly monitoring dust, noise, and start times to minimize impacts during the project, which has resulted in no public complaints to date.
We understand the complex nature of constructing a park that involves grading, turf, buildings, concrete structures, art features, play equipment, architectural concrete, and a large amount of ornamental landscaping.
Parks are not only a work of art and centerpiece for the City, they must be built to the highest standards to withstand heavy use for many years. They must be cost effective and user-friendly for City crews to maintain.
Ensuring that the park is built to these standards is Dudek’s #1 goal.
Dudek recently completed a project for the City of San Marcos very similar to the one the City is constructing.
Connors Park, featured here, was sandwiched between residential buildings and an elementary school, and located on a busy thoroughfare.

3.2 Phase 1 – Constructability Review
Administrative Documentation
Kick-off meeting with the City
Upon our selection, we will meet with the City, discuss the project, identify the issues, and define action items along with dates for the completion of the items. A tentative agenda for the meeting is as follows:
1. Introduction, roles, and responsibilities.
2. Obtain copies of all project documents, reports, permits, plans, specifications/standard plans.
3. Discuss meet & greet with designer to review project approach for the constructability reviews.
4. Discuss City requirements for CM management software.
5. Review permit requirements and responsibilities.
6. Review encroachment and building permit and inspection requirements.
7. Review funding requirements, if any.
8. Confirm environmental requirements and monitoring.
9. Prepare final action items list, responsibilities, and dates for completion.
Constructability Review Approach
The goal of the constructability review is to produce a clear, concise, and accurate set of contract documents. Our approach will uncover any and all issues, and ambiguities in the plans and specifications that may lead to delays and change orders. This begins with a thorough review of the documents by experts in each discipline of work following our proven process as follows:
1. Meet with the City and designer and receive briefing on the project along with any areas of concern.
Receive copies of all project documents at the 60%, 90% and 100% stages.
2. Dudek separates the documents into the specific disciplines – civil, structural, mechanical, architectural, electrical & instrumentation, and soils, and provide them to the experts in each specific field. They are given a specified time to review and provide comments to Mr. Litzinger.
3. Mr. Litzinger will then consolidate the comments in a report format (example included in Appendix A) and distribute to the City.
4. Dudek will conduct a meeting with the design team and City to review the comments and discuss resolutions to the issues uncovered. During the review, Dudek will also look for value engineering items that will reduce the construction cost without compromising the design.
Review Items Considered During Constructability Reviews
1. We will review the schedule timeframes for accuracy and reality.
2. Review encroachment and inspection requirements and determine any constraints.
3. Review funding, if any, requirements and make sure all requirements are included in the contract documents.
Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation 16
4. Review mitigation monitoring and reporting program and include requirements, if any.
5. Review required submittals including deferred submittals.
6. Review field office requirements, including offices for construction manager.
7. Structure of bid schedules, including the use of allowances.
8. Review existing utilities in Crescent Avenue and Watson Street. Recommend potholing and meeting utility companies in the field to discuss existing utilities and the procedure for relocation, if necessary.
9. Review permits conditions, easements, and agreements.
10. Review status of electrical applications and work orders status, timing and conditions.
11. Verify noise and air pollution control ordinances.
12. Verify soils information in the soils report.
13. Address disposal of excavated soils material, if any.
14. Define times and routes for truck traffic and deliveries.
15. Review details are consistent, accurate, and properly referenced. Compare plans to specifications for contradictions or missing information.
3.3 Phase 2 – Construction Management Phase
1) Review Project with Contractor – Prior to the preconstruction meeting and issuance of the NTP, we will schedule an informal meeting with the contractor and City to discuss what they believe are the project issues and what we can do to assist them to make this a successful project. This meeting will set the tone of collaboration and ‘partnering’ and hopefully the contractor is forthcoming with information that will minimize delays and change orders. We will confirm lines of communication and establish a procedure for dispute resolution and procedures for change orders that will make the process smooth and efficient. 2) Preparation of Logs and Administration Documents – Per our CM Procedures Manual, Dudek will provide all of the required documents prior to construction and will provide a table of the required documents along with submission dates for City’s review.
3) Overview of Administrative Issues to be Addressed with Contractor/City – Our goal is to have all administrative issues addressed prior to issuing the NTP. Our approach is as follows:
▪ Meeting with Utility Companies – we will meet with all utility companies prior to the start of construction to review their work and confirm schedules.
▪ Coordination with City’s Building Department – We will meet with the City’s building official to review and confirm inspection protocols, process for approving deferred submittals, special inspection requirements, and general coordination.
▪ Confirm Contractor’s On-Site Pothole Excavation Program – We will confirm with the contractor which existing facilities to pothole well in advance so changes can be made without impacting the schedule. ▪ Coordination Concerns– confirm procedures/routes/staging areas for accessing the park and removing any service from the area.
▪ SWPPP – We will ensure the contractor completes a SWPPP prior to starting construction. ▪ Survey – We will confirm design elevations are accurate prior to starting work. Sign-off is required by the contractor that accepts the design elevations.
Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation 17 ▪ Site Controls – We will confirm contractor’s plans to comply with the site controls specified in the contract. ▪ Traffic Control Plans – We will confirm plans are approved prior to starting work. ▪ Construction Permits – We will confirm that contractor has obtained all permits, such as haul route, encroachment permits, etc.
▪ Submittals – We will prepare a submittal register to compare to the contractor’s list. The goal is to avoid delays to construction due to a missed or unapproved submittal. ▪ RFI’s – We will define the procedures and response times for RFI’s. The goal is to avoid delays. ▪ Key Personnel Directory -- We will prepare and maintain a key personnel directory with contact information in the construction management plan.
Summary of Pre-Construction Services Tasks
▪ Prepare CM Procedures Manual
▪ Constructability Analysis with Contractor/City
▪ Submittal Log -- Dudek will prepare as part of the construction management manual ▪ Early Utility Coordination -- Dudek will meet with all utility companies prior to construction ▪ Pre-Condition Survey -- VIDEO FACT will be documenting existing conditions ▪ Pre-Construction Meeting -- Dudek will conduct the pre-construction meeting in accordance with the CM Manual
▪ Construction Schedule Review -- Dudek will conduct schedule review workshops prior to construction until an acceptable baseline schedule is accepted and approved.
Management Approach During Construction
Our approach is proactive and will obtain a quality construction project by working together with the construction contractor and the construction team. Our mutual goal must be a quality product conforming to the contract requirements. A cooperative and professional working relationship must be established to realize this common goal. The key to success for this project is to develop a clear understanding of the project and issues that will be encountered during construction. Our role will be to understand and interpret the plans, specifications, and permits and ensure compliance. We will be able to anticipate and have knowledge of the challenges the contractor will face and will proactively discuss and resolve them with the contractor.
Dudek completed this park project for the City of San Marcos, Buelow Park, which included basketball courts, skate park, splash pad, picnic areas, restroom facilities, decorative hardscape, and landscaping.
Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation 18 Communications in Writing
Paperwork is critically important in construction management. All communication will be provided to effected personnel in writing. We will maintain daily logs, complete incident reports, photograph elements of the project, provide monthly progress pay estimates, contract change orders, labor and equipment records, personnel records, and other general correspondence.
Construction Manager Approach
The CM will be responsible for overall QA and coordination of the project and will work closely with the City, contractor, and inspectors to resolve day-to-day construction issues. The CM will also ensure project issues are identified and resolved quickly. Project issues will be organized on a critical action item report, which will detail administrative, design, construction, environmental, and coordination issues that arise. Each action item will be assigned to project personnel with a target date to complete or resolve. The report will be updated at the weekly construction management staff and contractor progress meetings.
Inspector Approach
Inspectors will be on site daily during working hours and whenever work is performed. They will be available by cell phone whenever not at the site to answer any questions and resolve issues and will be the key point of contact for the contractor’s project manager and superintendent during the course of the work. They will not direct the contractor’s work but will facilitate the contractor’s efforts by anticipating issues that might affect the progress of the work. Dudek will photo document the project. Upon beginning each day's fieldwork, our personnel will download the day's images from each digital camera to the computer network located in the field office. They will examine the site daily, manage subconsultants, and attend weekly progress meetings with the contractor. This is where old and new business issues are discussed, such as action items developed, progress to date is reviewed in detail, a contractor’s three week look-ahead schedule is developed, and items from the City or other consultants are discussed.

Specific Issues to be Anticipated
Although there will be many issues to address during construction, the key will be to address them quickly and keep the project moving. Our two-phase approach is geared to proactively addressing issues up-front and not being reactionary when the contractor brings them up. A brief overview of some of the issues we are anticipating are as follows.
Potential Grading Issues:
1) Grading – for some reason – always seems to have issues and controversy, and we have seen almost every claim made by grading contractors using the catch-all claim of ‘Changed Conditions”. During our informal meeting with the contractor we will raise the following issues:
2) Topography -- Confirm that the topographic information of the site is accurate. It only takes one error to start a domino effect on the entire design that may be difficult to correct during construction. The Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation 23 elevations and topo MUST be accurate, and the contractor must agree in writing that they accept the topography and will not come back after the fact for claim because of inaccurate topo. 3) Grading Scope of Work Between Civil and Architect – We need to confirm that the grading plans agree with the Architect’s grading expectations.
4) Haul Routes – Need to define the truck delivery and haul routes 5) Staging and Storage Yards – Need to define locations and areas for the contractor’s use for staging and lay-down.
6) Surveying – Review the contractor responsible for construction staking and surveying. Receive cut sheets at the end of each day.
7) Soils Report – We will review the soils report and make sure that the recommendations are included in the contract documents, and that the contractor clearly understands his responsibilities. 8) Grading/Building Inspector and Compaction Requirements – We will review responsibilities and procedures if there’s a grading permit and confirm processing and compaction requirements. 9) SWPPP –Discuss the contractor’s SWPPP preparation and meet with the contractor’s QSD/QSP and make sure we are all on the same page regarding reporting and enforcement.
Potential Building Facility Issues:
The key to completing these facilities is to work closely with the local building official. We will meet with them early to discuss processes and procedures.
1) Building Inspection – We will coordinate daily with the City’s building inspector and contractor and report any issues immediately to City for action.
2) Quality Control/Quality Assurance Inspection – The City will however need to have a representative on the site when the buildings are being constructed to perform quality control/assurance inspections of the building. The City building inspector only inspects for code compliance issues and will not inspect the building for “quality of construction” issues, such as drywall and painting finishes. The City needs a representative to provide quality control inspection services to make sure the City is getting a quality project. We routinely work hand in hand with the local building officials and inspectors. 3) Special Inspection – We will work with the City’s building department to submit timely special inspection reports to avoid delay in sign-off.
Potential Irrigation Issues:
1) As-Builts – A critical aspect of the irrigation system is accurate as-builts that will be used by maintenance staff. Nothing is more frustrating than not having accurate information for repairs. Wire numbering, controller information, O&M manuals, location of heads and piping is critical to getting repairs done quickly.
2) Location of Heads – Accuracy and positioning of heads is critical to getting good spray coverage and preventing ‘mud/wet’ spots.
Potential SCE Issues:
Along with grading issues, coordinating with utility agencies, such as SCE, can be a challenge. To reduce this challenge, we invite the planner/maintenance people to our weekly progress meetings.
Construction Management for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation 24 Other Potential Issues:
1) Permits – We will review the requirements and status of all project permits. 2) Schedule – An accurate schedule for this project is critical. There are many moving parts and we will work with the contractor to include all the project elements and assign milestone dates so that we can track each activity.
3) Public Relations -- We will work with the City to implement a public relations program for the project.
Noise, dust, and other construction nuisances must be addressed and kept to a minimum. 4) Communication – We will work with all stakeholders to effectively communicate status of project. 5) Irrigation and Planting -- At the start of construction, Dudek will field verify the static pressure of water service at the connection point supplying the irrigation system. The actual static pressure must be verified with the design static pressure in order to allow for adjustments that may be needed, such as adding a pressure reducing valve, changing nozzles, upsizing the main line, etc. A pre-irrigation/planting preconstruction meeting will be held with the contractor’s landscaper, Dudek, and City staff to discuss installation and testing requirements so the contractor clearly understands the City’s expectations.
Dudek will coordinate regularly with City staff to schedule and perform pre-inspections (verify line depths, solvent welding of joints, proper head/nozzles, and pressure tests) of the work so the City’s time will not be wasted if the work is not ready. In addition to an irrigation coverage test prior to planting, we suggest a water audit performance test be performed to measure the system coverage with catching devises, this will ensure the turf will be receiving sufficient coverage to avoid brown spots. Performing this audit will avoid the need to add additional heads after planting.
Dudek will coordinate City staff of all plant materials upon delivery and prior to any planting. Only healthy, properly sized and high-quality plant specimens will be planted. We also suggest requiring percolation pit testing of each tree well prior to ordering trees to ensure there is sufficient drainage for each tree to prevent drowning and root rot. The contractor will be required to complete all of the irrigation and landscaping work, including all punch list items before the maintenance period can begin. Our proposed inspector has years of experience not only inspecting, but turning over and maintaining active use parks; he understands the City’s needs are to deliver a healthy and well-functioning irrigation and landscaping system.
6) Playground Safety Audit -- Our inspector will check the playground layout to ensure the fall zones do not overlap and that they meet the plan requirements. Once the playground structures and surfacing are complete, we will ensure a playground safety audit is performed on each structure, by a certified CSPI inspector, and that all issues are corrected prior to opening of any of the playgrounds Appendix A

Plan Review Comments
Message:
Per your request, we have we have undertaken a review of the contract plans for the subject project in an effort to identify potential plan or logistical discrepancies and apply standard construction means and methods to the work indicated. Check for action on listed items 11-2-11. Action shown in red.
After careful review and consideration, we offer the following comments:
1. AS7.4 indicates steel fence and gates which occur between buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4. The referenced details, 18 & 19/AS7.3 illustrate a mounting bolt on the inside face of the tube steel tube and state:
“Anchor Bolt Per Structural”. No information regarding this work found on the structural plans, including bolt size or spacing. The referenced details indicate the mounting bolt is located inside the steel tube. In order to install a bolt in this way, a hole larger than the bolt and washer would need to be drilled or cut in the outside wall of the tube and then patched in the field after installation of the tube. There is no reference on the plans regarding access to this bolt or patching of the steel tube. Detailing not complete.
Some access holes shown in some detail but not others.
2. AT2.2 indicates emergency egress for Building 2. It appears that the doors for rooms 213 and 214 swing against the designated path of egress. This conflicts with the egress requirements indicated on plan sheet AT3.1 …Exits… Note# 5. No change required due to room occupancy load.
3. AS3.1 indicates that the acoustic ceiling height in the Snack Bar 609 is 10’-0” aff and the bottom of truss is also 10’-0” aff. Plan sheet E4.1 indicates two 2x4 light fixtures located in Room 609. It appears that there is insufficient space between the bottom of truss and the acoustic ceiling grid to accommodate the light fixtures. No electrical plans to check.
4. A2.6 indicates the bottom of truss for Building 2 is 11’-0” aff. Plan sheet A2.3 indicates that most of the acoustic ceiling is at 10’-0” aff. Plan sheet M2.1 indicates that most of the HVAC ducts are at least 14” high. It appears that there is insufficient space between the bottom of truss and the acoustic ceiling to accommodate the HVAC ducts. Not corrected.
5. A1.3 indicates two 30” x 30” access panel in the ceilings of Rooms 108 and 109. Plan sheet S2.1 indicates roof trusses at 24” o/c. There is no structural detail indicating the framing for this 30” opening.
Corrected.

6. A3.1a. indicates a mezzanine located over Rooms 309b., 311 & 311a. which is accessible through a 30”x30” ceiling access panel. The location of the access panel shown on A3.1a conflicts with the location indicated on A3.3. Either location conflicts with other components including the roof access ladders and EF 3-7 & 3-8 shown on M3.1. The mezzanine deck framing consists of 2x12 at 16” o/c. There is no structural detail indicating the framing for this 30” opening. Not corrected.
7. A3.6a indicates two round ducts occurring within the roof trusses located in Room 301. This detail implies that the two main ducts occur on either side of the ridge line. However this conflicts with M3.1 which indicates a single main duct located near the middle of the room with branch ducts to ceiling diffusers on both side of the ridge line. It appears that there is insufficient space to accommodate the duct above the ceiling. Corrected.
8. S2.1 indicates dimensions for Building 1, line C to C.4 = 13’-4” and C.4 to E = 27’-4”. This conflicts with plan sheet A1.1 which indicates 15’-4” and 25’-4”. Plan sheet A1.1 does not include a grid line A.9. Corrected.
9. S2.1 indicates a dimension for Building 1, line D to E = 10’-0”. This conflicts with plan sheet A1.1 which indicates 11’-4”. Plan sheet S2.1 does not include a grid line D.2. Corrected.
10. S2.2 indicates a dimension for Building 2, line C to E = 38’-0 1/2”. This conflicts with plan sheet A2.1 which indicates 38’-0”. Corrected.
11. FS-2.1 indicates a mop sink and floor drain located near grid lines E/5. The plumbing plans do not show water or sewer available at this location. No FS plans to check.
12. FS-2.1 indicates floor sinks for specific equipment locations in the Kitchen. The locations and quantity of these floor drains conflict with those indicated on plan sheet P4.1. No FS plans to check.
13. FS-2.1 indicates floor drains located in the Kitchen. These locations do not match the locations indicated on plan sheet P4.1. No FS plans to check.
14. FS-1.1 indicates a ¾” gas service to item# 68 “Broiler”. The plumbing plans do not provide gas service to this area. No FS plans to check.
15. FS1.1 indicates several gas safety shut off valves located within the building. These valves are not included in the plumbing plans. No FS plans to check.
16. P4.1 shows the elevation of Building 6 at 129.00FF. Plan sheet C10 indicates 128.40FF. Not corrected.
17. P4.1 shows the elevation of Building 7 at 155.50FF. Plan sheet C5 indicates 155.00FF. Corrected.
18. P5.1 shows the S/E corner of Building 1, (Mens & Women) at 149.00FF. Plan sheet C6 indicates 148.50FF. Corrected.

19. P1.1 shows the invert elevation for the roof drain connection from Building 1 to site piping is 148.50. This is too high for the finish grade in this area. Per plan sheet C6, FG = 147.70+/-. Corrected.
20. 2/P5.1 shows waste piping extending through the north wall of Room 104 in Building 1. The note states “See P1.1”. There is no reference to this pipe extension on P1.1. Additionally, the detail indicates an IE of 146.00 at the footing with at note stating “sleeve waste line below structural footing”. Per 12/S1.1 the IE must be at least 145.00 to comply with note. Not corrected.
21. C5 shows a 6” storm drain at the Skate Park Bowl extending north with and IE of 147.00 at the apparent discharge point. The TG elevation at the drain is 142.99 per 12/SP-3.3. This would cause water to flow into the bowl. The drains in the other bowls appear to connect to SD “K”, but no POC or IE information is provided. Civil plans checked by others.
22. C16 water note 11 states that a minimum of 10’ spacing is required between potable water and sewer lines. This conflicts with the locations for water and sewer in Buildings 2 and 3 per P2.1 and P3.1. .
Civil plans checked by others.
23. C17 shows an IE of 143.00 at the Building 1 sewer connection. P1.1 indicates the IE is 146.00. .
Civil plans checked by others.
24. C17 shows the TG elevation for the 6” roof drain/storm drain connection south of Building 1 is 148.70. This conflicts with the FF elevation of Building 1 per C6, (148.50). . Civil plans checked by others.
25. C19 and C21 show significant portions of the sewer and storm drain piping is designed with less then 2% fall. In some areas the slope of pipe is .005%, (1/16” per foot). The industry standard minimum slope for these piping systems is 2%. This lack of minimum slope reduces the velocity of the liquid in the pipe resulting in frequent sediment build up and potential pipe blockage. . Civil plans checked by others.
26. LC13 shows a wheel chair ramp located near the baseball fields. The details refer to the civil plans for top of wall elevations. The civil plans do not include the required elevation information. . Civil plans checked by others.
27. DP-1 shows the elevation for the 18” SD TG at the N/E corner of the Competition Pool is 149.95.
C6 shows this TG at 149.00. Also, the 18” SD piping shown on the north and east sides of the Competition Pool is 30” diameter per C17. . Civil plans checked by others.
28. DP-1 note states: “P.O.C. to 8” SS with Running Trap. See Sheet C10.0” in two locations. C10 is the grading plan for the S/E corner of the site and is apparently not the correct reference. C17-Utility Plan does not indicate these two connections. . Civil plans checked by others.
29. The plans and specification refer to the geotechnical report numerous times for specific items such as concrete base material, treatment of structure subgrade, suitability of onsite soil for re-use, etc. The specifications do not contain the geotechnical report. Soils report checked by others.

30. A1.1 indicates detail 05/AS7.3 for the fence detail. It appears that the correct detail reference should be 05/AS7.4. Corrected.
31. S2.4 indicates detail 14/S4.3 for the exterior trellis. However, there is no detail 14/S4.3. This should be changed to detail 13 or 15/S4.3. Corrected.
32. The Landscape Architect’s stamp on the plans is expired. Landscape plans checked by others.
33. The Structural Engineer’s stamp on the plans is expired. Not corrected.
34. T-3, Notice to Contractor-Playground Area. Typo in second paragraph, change Chula Vista to Carlsbad. Title pages checked by others.
35. Specification Section 02200-1.6 Earthwork-Skate Park states that all soils testing, except for chemical or agricultural suitability, shall be paid by the Contractor. This conflicts with section 01450-1.10 Testing Laboratory Services, which indicates that the Owner will pay for soils testing. Grading specs checked by others.
36. Specification Section 10416, 1.2 A-Wall Clocks states: “Provide…Radio Controlled Atomic Clocks…as located on the drawings…”. The plans do not include any reference to these clocks, including location and/or quantity. Grading specs checked by others.
37. A review of the Contractor’s Proposal form included in the City of Carlsbad Contract Documents and Supplemental Provisions section of the specification book indicates a unit price bid schedule.
However, it appears to be for a different project. The schedule is broken down into two segments, Schedule “A” Road Improvements and Schedule “B” Leucadia Sewerline. Both schedules include items not found on this project and neither schedule includes the buildings or site improvements indicated on the plans Grading specs checked by others.
38. A review of the Project Specification-Table of Contents indicates several specification sections in divisions 2, 3, 5 & 9 that are apparently related to the Skate Park exclusively. In some cases such as earthwork, there is a section for the Skate Park, 02200, and another section presumably for all other areas within the project, 02300. In this case, it appears that there is duplication of requirements within the two sections as well as conflicts. In other cases, such as 03310 Cast in Place Concrete-Skate Park, there is no other section for the other CIP concrete required on the project. There are also two painting sections included, both have the same section number, 09900. TOC checked by others.
39. The suitability of the onsite soils for re-use onsite is not clearly defined. Section 8.1.6. of the soils report, (Ninyo & Moore dated 6-14-06), states: “On-site soils with an organic content of less then 3% by volume, (or 1% by weight), are suitable for use as fill.” . Appendix C, Figure C-7 of the report indicates that the existing onsite soil encountered at TP-7 and TP-10 has an expansion index of 130 & 108 and is considered to have a “high” expansion potential. The only other expansion test result for existing onsite soil is found in Appendix D, Figure B-7 which indicates an expansion index of 78-Medium for B-2.
Based on this information, it appears that some or all of the onsite soil is not suitable for re-use onsite.
Soils report checked by others.

40. The Remedial Grading plans state: “Alluvium in structural areas will be removed to a depth of 12 feet from bottom of structure, or within 5 feet of ground water.”. The test borings for the soils report were performed almost 5 years ago. These borings only show two isolated pockets of ground water throughout the entire site. The current report indicates isolated ground water at TP-12. Because the limits of remedial grading are based in part on the ground water level, the overall scope of work is subject to change due to the actual ground water level at the time of construction. The current ground water level for all areas of remedial grading should be verified prior to the project bid and the limits of grading clearly defined. Soils report checked by others.
41. C-1 indicates the estimated quantities of earthwork for the project. Presuming that all of the existing onsite soil is suitable for reuse, it appears that there will be a surplus of approximately 31,000 cy of soil which would require export from the site. Section 8.1.3. of the soils report recommends placement of soil, (with expansion index less then 50), “in structural areas on the site to a depth of 3 feet below the bottom of foundations or pool shells…”. Based on the soil test results, (see item 39 above), it appears that none of the existing onsite soil would satisfy this expansion index requirement. The extent of import and/or export of soils is not clearly defined. Soils report checked by others.
42. Section 8.7, Table 2 of the soils report recommends using 4 inches of asphalt concrete over 11 inches of Class II base for the Access Roads and 3 inches of asphalt concrete over 10 inches of Class II base for the Parking areas. This conflicts with the grading plans which indicate 3 inches of asphalt concrete over 7 inches of Class II base for the Access Roads and 3 inches of asphalt concrete over 6 inches of base for the Parking areas. Soils report checked by others.
43. Section 8.4 of the soils report recommends using a subdrain to relieve potential hydrostatic pressure at retaining walls, (Fig 4). The retaining walls indicated on Plan sheet LC-13 do not include a subdrain. Soils report checked by others.
44. Specification section 02881-Playground Equipment appears to be a specification template that has not been completed. There is no information or reference in the specification regarding the specific playground equipment indicated on the plans. Playground equipment checked by others.
45. Regarding substitutions of proprietary items, specification section 02875-Site Pre-Engineered Shelter Structure, paragraph 2.2.2 states: “Substitutions must be approved 10 days prior to the bid. All approved manufacturers shall be notified in writing before the bid date and shall not be allowed to bid without written certification.”. Numerous proprietary specifications are found throughout the landscape plans and specifications, including: Resilient Surfacing at Play Areas, Playground Equipment, Playground Equipment Certification, Shade Structures, Pre-cast Concrete Items, Dog Park Accessories, Baseball Accessories, Basketball Accessories, Water Slide, etc Proprietary specifications checked by others.
46. The landscape construction plans indicate several types of concrete paving of variable thickness.
The limits of the individual areas of paving type and thickness are not clearly defined. The graphic legend on all pages appears faded and difficult to read. Landscape plans checked by others. Landscape plans checked by others.

RE: Request for Proposal for Construction Management Services for the Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation project Dear Mr. Mangkalakiri and Evaluation Team,
As Griffin Structures celebrates 41 years of providing award-winning Program and Construction Management (PMCM) services, we are pleased to submit our proposal to the City for the Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation project. As you will discover within our proposal, our demonstrated team is uniquely qualified to deliver this particular project given our extensive active-use sports park portfolio, City knowledge and past teaming experience, local presence, a wealth of internal resources, and public agency expertise.
We offer a diverse team of seasoned parks experts to the City, led by long-time City partner and Construction Manager Robert Echavarria. Formally trained in landscape architecture and has completed many of the state’s largest active-use sports parks and recreational facilities. Robert Echavarria will lead this project from Design Document Review, through construction, and turnover, supported by a wealth of parks experts as we navigate throughout the project. Our project support team includes Lance Solomon, who successfully managed the $52M Lake Forest Sports Park project, Robert Godfrey, who has managed (along with Robert Echavarria) over 14 The Trust for Public Land park projects valued in excess of $25M, and Cody Roth, who collaboratively delivered the $20M Esencia Sports Park project along with many of our proposed team members.
Our portfolio features the City of Cypress’ Lexington Park project approaching completion in March 2022, as well as the Mackay Park and Community Center. These projects granted our team the unique opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the City, your culture, and your approach to project management, which we will harness to exceed the City’s expectations for this project.
TO SUMMARIZE, WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING KEY BENEFITS:
• A project team with unparalleled experience in your exact project type, ranging in value from >$5 million to over $110 million publicly funded dollars.
• A project team with extensive active-use sports parks, and public sector experience. • A collaborative, streamlined project delivery process to ultimately reduce your administrative costs and ensure timely delivery.
Griffin Structures takes great pride in providing both competitive pricing and highly qualified personnel and goes to great measures to ask, “What is our true value-added proposition to the City of Cypress?”. The answer to this question is our people. We bring a higher caliber of Project and Construction Manager to our clients - one that is trained as a builder but thinks like an owner. Our people offer creative delivery options, solutions-based recommendations, and a true perspective of ownership that our competitors do not possess. For this reason, we are able to provide a single point of contact at a senior level that is capable of delivering enhanced services at a competitive rate. This is our differentiator, and the meaning behind the Griffin Structures pledge to provide excellence in project delivery.
Jon Hughes, Principal-In-Charge & Executive Vice President of Operations P: (949) 497-9000 x208 | E: [email protected]
STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS
Griffin Structures goes to great lengths to research and understand the challenges and opportunities for every pursuit. As a result of this effort, we have prepared the following strategic considerations to demonstrate our approach and illustrate the value we offer. These considerations are prepared in a question-and-answer format for ease of reading.
Question: How will the Construction Management team ensure this project is delivered on time? Answer: In our opinion, achieving timely delivery is one of the most critical aspects of this project. To do so, Griffin will employ a few essential management tools:
Offer timely response to all issues and questions: No other project component has a more significant potential to cause delays than poor communication. Therefore, timely response to submittals, RFIs, and quick resolution of field issues will be paramount for this project. In preparation for the 2022 NFL Super Bowl, Griffin Structures managed the timely completion of the City of Inglewood’s Emergency Operations Center – a critical aspect of the event’s safety operations. Due to our timely response to all issues, foresight, and experience managing aggressive schedules, we completed this project just in time for the event.
Long Lead Procurement: Long lead procurement oversight will be critical for this project. Any potential materials (specifically site lighting) will need to be forecasted early, prior to construction. In addition, a detailed procurement schedule will need to be produced to efficiently ensure the Contractor has properly identified those items that could impact the schedule.
Operations and Maintenance: Griffin recognizes that the turnover must be as equally efficient as the construction with a project such as this. Therefore, we will engage City maintenance crews early on in the process to ensure the turnover is seamless and efficient.
Question: How can the City be assured the project budget is maintained and that all project costs are properly managed? Answer: Based on our experience with projects of this type and our experience working with the City of Cypress, Griffin is confident we can provide the highest level of financial oversight to the City. This will be achieved by managing and avoiding changes before they occur, providing guidance on systems and specifications that may be customized and/or above industry standard price, strict enforcement of the contract as it relates to Contractor change orders, and proactive issues resolution to allow for the efficient deployment of work in the field. Together, these mitigation efforts will ensure the City’s budget and the constituents’ resources are properly managed.
Question: How might the condition of the existing utilities impact the project, and how can the City rest assured utilities have been properly marked?
Answer: Due to the age of the park site, the plans and the City’s “as-built” plans may not adequately identify or locate all existing underground utilities, potential abandoned lines, or structures that may exist. Though the plans place the responsibility on the Contractor to locate and mitigate these potential unknown items, change orders may be required when the extent of the additionally required work is determined. The City may consider a contingency bid item or initiate “potholing” before construction to avoid additional costs and potential delays to the project schedule. Should the City wish to pursue this approach, Griffin Structures is prepared to oversee and facilitate this effort and support the Design Team in the inclusion of this information into the plans and specifications.
Question: Given the park’s proximity to the surrounding neighborhood, what strategies might the City employ to mitigate impacts to the community?
Answer: The local community will be losing the use of this park until completion. Therefore, communication with the adjacent residents must be a priority throughout the construction process. Griffin Structures will establish a communication process for neighbors to register concerns and receive proactive notices of specific site activities that may interfere with their neighborhood activities. Additionally, our Construction Manager is ready to act as the front line in communicating with local residents daily on behalf of the City.

PRE-BID MANAGEMENT
Design Documents Review
To achieve concise construction documents, Griffin will perform a comprehensive constructability review in
Bluebeam format and review comments with the Design
Team. This effort will seek to identify items that are unclear or in conflict with other aspects of the project, as well as bid ability and best value. This effort will result in a Bluebeam and Excel report which will also include a marked-up set of plans.
Establish Project Controls
Griffin will establish standard protocols for the project team.
We have found that clarity and consistency in direction is the single most significant feature of establishing a successful project protocol. Given our extensive experience in the public sector, we can effectively mold our approach to the Client to effectively become an extension of City staff. With that in mind, we will establish protocols for all aspects of the project.
Specifically including:
Communication channels and policies
Document strategies, specifically how information will be communicated to the field
Key challenges to the project
Established, formalized action items for respective team members
Identified, reinforced key project objectives
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Griffin Structures understands the needs of the City of Cypress, and the unique aspects of this park in particular based on our longstanding relationship. This park, the namesake of the City, and one of its oldest parks, is in desperate need of renovation to meet the needs of the community. Griffin Structures understands the critical nature of this project and the high profile it carries throughout the City, calling for the highest level of expertise as it pertains to sports parks. For this reason, we have proposed Construction Manager, Robert Echavarria, who possesses not only significant experience with the City, but is an expert in sports park design and construction supported by a similarly specialized team of public sector active-use sports park PMCMs.

CONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION
Griffin applauds the City for its decision to employ a Contractor prequalification process, as we firmly believe the City will benefit from having a healthy pool of competent bidders which will in turn provide a higher quality construction effort, a more predictable expenditure of project funds, while also continuing to enjoy the benefits of a competitive bidding environment.
Griffin uses as its base template the Department of Industrial Relations Contractor Prequalification Questionnaire in the development of the solicitation request. In addition to the stock language however, Griffin will introduce enhanced language which will further bring value to the City. Specifically, these enhancements will include:
• Contractor financial condition
• Bonding capacity
• Specialized criteria for similar project experience
• Specialized criteria for any critical subcontractors
that the City may want to prequalify
• Critical litigation history
• Project specific references
• Enhance scoring methods and/or disqualification
parameters designed to maximize City flexibility.
• Maintain Public Contract Code compliance to
ensure the process is protest free.
Griffin will then solicit interest in the contractor marketplace by distributing the RFQ to know contractors who have successfully completed similar projects in the past. This effort will also include some project renderings and other components to entice as many respondents as possible. The goal in this phase is to maximize contractor participation to establish the most robust list possible.
Griffin will then utilize its Contractor Prequalification Scoring system to evaluate all responses, score each answer, check on references, evaluate financial capacity, and review litigation history.
Once completed, Griffin will review its scoring with the City and provide documentation to support its recommendations.
Of course, this entire process will be performed in close coordination with the City and will also include any City legal counsel review and dialogue as may be required. Once completed, the City will that have a short list of prequalified bidders who will then have the opportunity to provide a price proposal for the project. In all, our goal is to have this process result in a bid pool of no less than 3 and no more than 7 prequalified bidders as we have found that range to provide the best value for the City.
P roject U nderstanding & A pproach GRIFFIN STRUCTURES 25
BID MANAGEMENT
Once a short list of prequalified contractors is established, Griffin will manage the contractor bidding process. To that end, Griffin will employ the following measure to ensure a fully responsive and responsible bid is delivered to the City.
Distribute Plans
Once bidding is underway, Griffin will work closely with the City and Design Team to coordinate the publishing of the bid documents with the appropriate publications and websites Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting
Griffin Structures will prepare an agenda and work
closely with the City and Design team to ready all relevant documents for the pre-bid meeting. This will include our agenda, presentation, sign-in sheet, site tour, hard copies of plans, specs, and other relevant materials. Griffin will then publish the minutes, sign-in sheet, and formal responses to any questions in the form of an Addendum.
Bid RFIs
Griffin will serve as the point of contact for all bid questions and will coordinate the distribution of questions and
answers to the relevant parties. Once answers are provided, Griffin will work closely with the Design Team to assemble appropriate Addenda for distribution to plan holders.
Bidder Qualifications
Griffin possesses a deep understanding of parks and what is required of a successful Contractor. We will bring this experience to bear as we evaluate the qualifications of all bidders and offer recommendations to the City.
Issue Addenda
Griffin will take the lead in gathering the necessary
documents and City templates and will coordinate the
distribution of bid Addenda.
Bid Evaluations
Griffin will utilize its tailored Bid Analysis sheet to evaluate the bids on a line-item basis and offer recommendations to the City for award. Any non-responsive bids or nonresponsible bidders will be flagged and forwarded to the City for consideration.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Once construction begins, Griffin will employ a vast array of policies, protocols, and techniques to oversee and manage the contractor successfully. Those services include the following:
Pre-Construction Meeting
Griffin will arrange for and conduct the Pre-Construction meeting and will provide both and agenda and meeting
minutes accordingly. Griffin will ensure that all pertinent team members will be present in coordination with City staff.
Contract Administration
Griffin will assist the City’s Municipal Projects Manager with all aspects of the contract compliance including all financial controls, document controls, document interpretations,
discrepancies, constructability problems, inspections,
schedule oversight, and all other tasks identified in 3.1 of exhibit B of the RFP.
Review Construction Schedule
As discussed above, Griffin will review any and all schedules provided by the Contractor to confirm they meet the overall objectives of the project. Accordingly, Griffin will oversee and ensure the activities in the field are consistent with the approved schedule and will recommend corrective action
should they fail correlate.
Construction Progress Meetings
Griffin will schedule, host, and oversee all project meetings.
Griffin will provide, or cause to be provided, agendas
and minutes as required for the effective discussion and resolution of all project related issues and resolution.
Shop Drawings & Submittal Reviews
Griffin will oversee the distribution of all shop drawings and submittal reviews. Griffin will employ the use of Submittal Exchange for expedient distribution and tracking as
described above.
Requests for Information (RFIs)
As with shop drawings and submittal reviews, Griffin will process and coordinate the distribution of all RFIs in a manner that achieve efficient design solutions and maintains construction progress without diminishing the design intent.
Review all Change Orders
Griffin will review all change orders and provide
supplemental information as needed to justify their approval or rejection. Griffin will negotiate with the Contractor on the City’s behalf and serve as the point of contact for resolving issues and mitigate against potential claims. Specifically, Griffin will seek to avoid claims as detailed above.
Cost Accounting Records
Griffin has extensive experience in cost accounting methods including but not limited to the management of contract unit costs, T&M analysis, and will employ that experience to provide comprehensive cost accounting records and controls.
Cost Control System
Griffin will use its extensive cost controls system to establish a master budget that captures all costs associate with
the project and will provide regular updates to the City throughout the duration of the project.
P roject U nderstanding & A pproach GRIFFIN STRUCTURES 27 Coordination of Other Consultants
Griffin will coordinate and oversee the scheduling of all other consultant inspections including but not limited to geotechnical, NPDES, materials testing, deputy inspection, and special laboratory testing.
Coordinate with Project Designer
As with the design phase, Griffin will coordinate with
and manage the project design consultants to ensure all information is transmitted to and from the respective
consultants efficiently to achieve the overall objectives of the project.
Job Safety
Crucial to the success of any project is safety. Griffin will employ its extensive experience to oversee the contractor’s safety program and will inspect the site regularly in that regard. Griffin will report any infraction to the contractor immediately and ensure the observed deficiency is rectified.
Progress Payments
Griffin will establish, or cause to be established by the contractor, a comprehensive Schedule of Values for the
entirety of the project for approval by the City. Once
approved this will serve as the basis for all progress
payments, which Griffin will review for consistency with progress in the field and make recommendations to the
Contractor for correction. Once corrected, Griffin will then make recommendations to the City for processing.
Labor Compliance
Consistent with SB 854, Griffin will require and enforce the Dept. of Industrial Relations’ requirements for enrollment in the DIRs labor compliance data base. Griffin will also monitor the results of the DIRs processing of the contractor’s labor compliance and will enforce the proper submission of documents accordingly.
Quality Assurance
Griffin will serve as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the City for quality control. Accordingly, Griffin will walk the site regularly and inspect all installations for consistency with the construction documents. Specifically, Griffin will enforce the highest level of quality of workmanship to ensure the City receives the best value for the investment made on behalf of the community.
Compliance with Funding Requirements
With our extensive experience in managing projects
with multiple funding sources, Griffin will employ a cost accounting process that captures and tracks all required milestones and/or criteria to maintain compliance with
multiple funding sources.
Project Filing System
Griffin will employ a filing system in accordance with Section
16.8 (Chapter 16) of the Caltrans LAPM. In addition to this process, we propose the use of our cloud-based document management system called “Submittal Exchange” and have
included the cost thereof in our reimbursable expenses.
This system is highly customizable, easy to use for both Contractors and Designers alike, and results in a highly detailed comprehensive document management control
vehicle.
P roject U nderstanding & A pproach GRIFFIN STRUCTURES 28
POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Ready for Inspection
Griffin will ensure that the contractor has completed their work in a manner that is satisfactory to meet all necessary conditions for final inspection.
Punch Walk
Griffin will coordinate the final punch walk of the project to ensure all improvements are per the plans and specifications.
Specifically, Griffin will employ a Field Observation Log during the course of construction that will seek to identify quality issues observed by the project team on an ongoing basis. This will serve to function as an ongoing pre-punch list, and therefore help to minimize the issues discovered at the final punch walk. Griffin will also oversee the following punch walks to confirm corrective action is resolved.
Punch List
Once completed, Griffin will issue a comprehensive punch list for completion by the contractor. Griffin will oversee the completion of these items and ensure that all deficiencies and corrections are completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Closeout Documents
Integral to our cloud-based document management
system, Submittal Exchange will assemble all guarantees, certifications, affidavits, leases, easement deed, operating and maintenance manuals, warranties, and any other closeout documents. This system will provide a complete digital file for all documents, for future use, as well as maintain cloudbased file for future use.
Final Payment
Griffin will review all conditions of the project and will ensure that all criteria are met prior to the execution of the Contractor’s final payment.
Final Delivery
Once complete, Griffin will deliver all project files, data, asbuilts, and documentation to the City for record purposes.
CONCLUSION
Griffin Structures prides itself on providing unparalleled construction management service. As described above,
Griffin will serve as the eyes and ears of the City. Our motto is Excellence in Project Delivery. We achieve this through proper management (avoiding issues in the first place) and clear and concise documentation (for defense and resolution of unavoidable issues). Accordingly, Griffin Structures will provide comprehensive construction management services as detailed in the RFP.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 12.
FROM: Douglas Dancs, Director of Public Works
DATE: 05/23/2022
SUBJECT: Approve the Purchase of One Replacement Police Vehicle
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the purchase of one replacement police vehicle, including most upfitting, for $61,060 from Wondries Fleet Group via National Auto Fleet Group through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program; and
2. Authorize an appropriation increase of $62,326 in the City's Capital Replacement Fund to purchase and fully upfit the replacement police vehicle; and
3. Authorize a transfer of $51,160 from the General Liability Fund to the City's Capital Replacement Fund for available insurance proceeds received.
DISCUSSION
In May 2021, a Police Interceptor SUV was involved in a traffic collision and after several months was considered a total loss by the City’s insurance provider and $51,160 was received as reimbursement for the loss.
Public Works will purchase a replacement vehicle from Wondries Fleet Group via the National Auto Fleet Group through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program.
Municipal Code Section 21A-10(e) allows the use of cooperative purchasing programs as a more efficient and cost-effective method of procurement by receiving volume type pricing.
Such cooperative agreements provide the same terms and prices offered to other government agencies through a competitive bid process.
The purchase price and all necessary upfitting for one vehicle is $62,326. None of the specialized equipment on the totaled vehicle was salvageable and cannot be used on the replacement vehicle. While most of the necessary upfitting costs will be incorporated into the purchase from Wondries, the vehicle will require some additional aftermarket installation of specialized equipment. The vehicle should arrive within 160 days of initiating the purchase.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total cost to purchase and upfit the replacement vehicle is $62,326. The City received insurance proceeds of $51,160 and the remaining $11,166 is available in the City's Capital Replacement Fund.

The Technology Master Plan (Plan) provides a technology investment blueprint for the City and Recreation and Park District. The Plan categorizes and prioritizes technology projects for implementation over the next five years. It is updated and presented to the City Council annually in conjunction with the budget.
The Plan for FY 2022-23 through FY 2026-27 remains focused on replacing in-person and paper services with new digital online services, as well as implementing additional accessibility services for the public. Online services have become a commonplace business standard that offer time savings and efficiencies benefiting both the public and City.
Additionally, the Plan continues the City’s practice regarding the timely replacement of technological infrastructure. These infrastructure replacements, along with strong cybersecurity defenses, ensure the City remains protected and operations can continue uninterrupted.
Projects completed, or currently underway, from the Plan approved in conjunction with the FY 2021-22 budget include:
Firewall and Network Security Appliance Replacement
A New Mobile Data Computer for the Maintenance Division Replacement of Police Vehicle Mobile Data Computers

INTRODUCTION
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
We are pleased to present the City’s five-year Technology Master Plan. The Plan provides a blueprint for technology investments; much like the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does for facilities and infrastructure. It also aims to enable the City to enhance the delivery of core municipal services to our community and to promote organizational effectiveness.
The Technology Master Plan projects are funded through a variety of sources including the City’s Technology Investment Fund, which was established to provide start-up capital for new technology projects. Additionally, there are accumulated replacement funds set aside (largely from the General Fund) and some restricted monies (such as grants) which are available for the replacement of existing technology. The proposed Technology Master Plan calls for investing $155,000 from the Technology Investment Fund, $565,000 from Accumulated Replacement Funds, $151,000 from the General Fund, and $35,000 from Public Education Grant Monies in FY 2022-23.
The technology projects are classified into four categories:
• Customer service projects, which enhance the City’s abilities to serve its customers. • Organizational efficiency/transparency projects, which provide internal process efficiencies and enhance access to records and information through the City’s website. • Technology infrastructure projects, which provide for the replacement of vital existing equipment and invest in future needs.
• Unfunded future projects (if any) are of interest for staff and may be submitted to the City Council for future consideration. These projects may have significant funding requirements and/or legal barriers to consider prior to inclusion as a funded project in the first year of future Technology Master Plans.
Although the pandemic continues to dissipate, and in-person services have resumed, offering additional contactless and online service offerings to the public remains a high priority. These offerings represent a convenience and time savings to the public, as well as efficiencies for staff.
Therefore, the focus of the plan remains on providing high service levels through additional customer service and organizational efficiency projects. We have prioritized projects this year that meet these goals, which include an online public records request system and an online zoning and land planning system. In addition, the city’s phone system will be replaced this year to enhance the reliability and availability of services by phone to the public.
Cybersecurity continues to be an area of focus as attacks on municipalities continue to rise each year. Implementing additional cybersecurity safeguards and maintaining updated technology infrastructure are important to keeping a strong defense from ongoing attacks. Projects to meet this goal are incorporated into this plan. Continued funding to the plan is crucial to ensure resources are available to make continued improvements to the City’s cybersecurity wherever possible. We look forward to the successful implementation of these projects, and appreciate the City Council’s vision and ongoing commitment to the investment in the Technology Master Plan.
