Each project that arises from public agency on -call contracts or the general public agency RFP process vary greatly depending on many variables. With this in mind, it is extremely difficult to prepare a "menu" style fee sheet for each project type. Based on our knowledge gained through performing work on public agency projects through our nearly 70 years of corporate experience we have found that it is best to meet with the client, discuss the goals and intricacies of the proposed project, the known and anticipated stakeholders, and then collectively determine the project scope of work and its associated professional services fee.
Projects may include conceptual design alternatives with orwithout aproject report, orbeconstruction documents
(PS&E) only, or combination of both. Acoup|e examples
ofproject variabilities for similar project types are explained as follows:
Street Improvements and Intersection widening: These
types ofprojects can beassimple asadding adefacto
right turn lane toanexisting intersection that requires resLripin8ofasingle leg ofthe intersection with atraffic signal modification for the addition ofthe defactoright-turn lane with bicycle detection. On the other extreme it can involve the addition ofleft-turn lanes onone ormultiple legs ofthe intersection requiring additional orwidened
receiving lanes. This type ofIntersection widening can
include additional services such asgeotechnica|analysis/ engineering, environmental documentation services,
dry utility design/coordination, right-uf-vvayanalysis and acquisition services, along with surveying, storm water quality, landscape architecture, transportation and traffic engineering services.
Water, sewer, and storm water infrastructure
improvements: These types ofprojects can be as simple as aneighborhood water main replacement where the work
tubedone can beshown inplan view only, without profiles.
Or the work can be a storm drain system improvement
project that requires the construction ofnew storm drain pipe through anexisting business nrresidential area that impacts the existing water, sewer and their laterals serving the adjacent projects. This type of project could require the design for the replacement ofthe three wet utility
facilities inthe area, nracombination. Other items that could be needed aregeoterhnica| services, environmental documentation, field surveying, dry utility design/
coordination, utility locating, drainage analysis, storm water quality, right-of-wayservices for temporary construction easements, and traffic control design. These two extreme project types would vary significantly on a per sheet cost, unit cost, and sliding cost fee menu.
The included hourly rates are good for the three-year
period per RF[}No. 23'OO2.The included fee for project
types described inthe RF[lare approximations only ofwhat our services for asimilar project type has cost our client for our project team professional services mnpast similar Approximate Project Type Fees
Fee based onconstruction cost (PS&E):This isinthe range of 11%tn 15%. Variables include accuracy nfconstruction cost estimate, project complexity, agencies involved,

quality, efficiency, and delivery.
The RICK approach totask-order contract management is
comprehensive and employs industry best practices for
staff assignments, workflow processes, master scheduling, communication, coordination, and quality. VVeview
ourselves as an extension ofour clients' staff; therefore, vveproactively meet with our client counterparts, sothat project goals and critical constraints are identified early in the design process and revisited frequently. VVesuccessfully act onomoment's notice toaddress concerns, provide
guidance and expertise, and facilitate engineering design services while meeting critical scheduling deadlines.
Our proven task -order management approach allows us
tomanage multiple task orders ofvarying complexity
simultaneously.

4aour response tothe REP example project described in
Section D. "Allocation of Resource" we provide our Scope of Work tocomplete this OPproject inconjunction with our
Allocation ofResources tocomplete said example project. Our scope nfwork clearly defines the allocation nfresources necessary tosuccessfully complete the project.
Our understanding ofthe example project is to add a second eastbound tonorthbound left -turn lane, and aneastbound tosouthbounddedicated right-turn-on|ylane. This work
will require the acquisition ofright-of-wayfrom Bake Plaza located atthe southwest quadrant ofthe intersection. Please refer toattached Preliminary Geometric Exhibit that shows a possible geometric alternative for the requested intersection improvements. The work will also require amodification tn the existing traffic signal, aswell asdry utility coordination for relocations. |tisnoted that this intersection islocated 2,OOO' from our office, giving usaunique understanding ofthe
components and operation ofthe intersection.
Based nnthe existing street name signs onthe traffic signal mast arms, kappears that the traffic signal isunder the operation ofthe City ofIrvine. The City boundary between Irvine and Lake Forest isthe northerly right-uf-woyline ofBake Parkway per County ofOrange G|S.VVeanticipate that the
work for the improvement ofthis intersection will need tube processed with and through the City ofLake Forest, aswell as coordination with the City ofIrvine. |fneed be, vvewill support the City ofLake Forest inthe coordination with City ofIrvine; but will leave the lead ofthis action tuthe City ofLake Forest.
It isalso noted that the traffic signal system along Bake Parkway is interconnected through a previous contract lead by OCTA. |napproaching projects where our client isalocal public agency such asthe City, RICK believes weare, and performs as, an extension of the public agency staff
Both the project manager and project engineer proposed
for this major street intersection improvement project are experienced and knowledgeable inmanaging projects with
multiple subconsu|tantsand coordinating with multiple
municipal, utility, and regulatory agencies. Our team isalso well -versed in, and accustomed to, successfully meeting tight and demanding schedules. The schedules ofmany ofour public works engineering projects are driven byprior commitments such escertain funding obligations, scheduled school openings, ortoaddress local citizen safety concerns.
Having successfully prepared both public agency project entitlement documents and construction PS&E,weunderstand the importance ofcommunication between local agencies and other project stakeholders. Our general project approach to public street improvement type contracts relies unthis
communication. Communication with the City and other project stakeholders facilitates successful completion ofthe project tasks. This approach has been proven when performing
previous and current locally funded traffic, transportation and on -call design service contracts.
Throughout the work process, RICK staff would refer tothe company's Quality Control Manual and complete checklists that would bereviewed bythe quality control officer and the project manager. This ensures that every task isperformed with the utmost care and attention to detail.
1. Preliminary Data Research & Review
RICK team will research, obtain and review available data asa reference to prepare the preliminary GUALITY
and final PS&E.Data includes: State, MANUAL
County, City, utility and other records/
documents; existing street, signal,
storm drain, gas, sewer and water
main improvement plans; topographic
data maps, record drawings; wet and
dry utility plans (to determine size and
|ocation);survey centerline and private
property monument data; and other pertinent information.
Utility records request letters will besent tothe franchise and public utility agencies. These requests will betracked via atable summarizing the request letters, the obtained data, both with dates sent and received. Acopy ofthis table will beprovided tothe City and utility agencies. VVewill review the acquired information with the City prior tobeginning any surveys and preliminary design.
We recognize that some utility companies treat as -built requests and plan coordination with low priority and therefore itwill beincumbent upon ustostart the research and
coordination process upon receiving aNotice toProceed for the project from the City. Furthermore, asmentioned above we will keep acomplete and accurate log ofcommunication with the various utility companies and keep the City informed ofour progress in this effort.
Careful consideration 1uthe existing utilities and their potential impact onconstruction cost and schedule will betaken into account throughout the design process.
Acomplete and accurate plotting ofthe researched utilities will beperformed inorder 10achieve autility base file for the plan preparation phase ofthe contract.
2,Design Survey/Existing Conditions
Documentation
RICK will perform the topographic survey bvincluding features that will influence the project design. The survey shall be |nconformance with the State Land Surveyors Act and be
performed under the direct supervision ufa[ARegistered Land Surveyor. Consultant shall use California State Plane Coordinate System, NAD83,Zone \(USSurvey Feet.

11. Utilities Coordination
For the purposes ofpreparing this proposal, wehave performed aninitial site observation. Potential conflicts and needed coordination between the proposed construction and the
existing utilities can beseen incertain locations within the project area. Careful consideration tothe existing utilities and their potential impact onconstruction cost and schedule will be taken into account throughout the design process.
Upon receiving aNotice toProceed from the [ityR|CKwill
perform athorough site investigation that identifies and documents observable utilities. City records will beresearched and record "as'bui|t"documents will beobtained and reviewed.
The affected utility companies will beimmediately contacted and existing utility overlays will be obtained.
Acomplete and accurate plotting ufthe researched utilities will be performed in order to achieve a utility base file for the plan preparation phase of the contract.
Upon completion ofthe 65%,95%
and 28O%submittal packages to
the City, plans will bedelivered to
all appropriate utility companies
for their review. Comments will
beactively solicited from those
companies and all coordination
items will beaddressed onthe
plans and inwriting toeach
company. Tbthe extent that the
various utility companies are
willing, final written confirmation
ofthe utility company's
concurrence with the design will
beobtained. VVerecognize that some utility companies treat as -built requests and plan coordination with |mm priority and therefore it will be incumbent upon us to start the research and coordination process as soon as possible. Furthermore, we will keep acomplete and accurate log ofcommunication with the various utility companies and keep the City informed ofour progress inthis effort.
Since there is acquisition, and the widening
may impact an existing parking area, there may be a need for an Initial Site Assessment (|SA) on the project. Therefore, if environmental analysis and reporting needs toheperformed, and the City isnot performing this work, vvecan add a
uubconsu|tanttoour team, per City'sapproval, tocomplete the environmental work.

lzyffjltl�. 11�4" • - 1141AA.�
You require a seasoned consultant to support your
upcoming task orders. We have the team,
experience, and community understanding to
achieve your objectives in a timely and cost effective
manner —through diligent project management,
effective teamwork, and state-of-the-art technical
skills. As an extension of your engineering staff, we
will perform all services in collaboration with you.
We will respond to your task orders promptly and
prepare and submit a detailed work plan, schedule,
and cost estimate. We will work closely with your
project manager to define and understand how to
meet your objectives. This includes selecting the
appropriate team members, using resources cost-
effectively, preparing a schedule with clear and
feasible milestones and deadlines, and offering a
fair and competitive budget. After you select us for
an assignment, we will meet with you to review and
confirm the scope of services, schedule, and fee
before proceeding.
During the project, we will explore value engineering
opportunities to reduce your costs. In addition, all
deliverables will undergo a thorough review by our
project manager, Jeff Wilkerson, and principal-in-
charge/contract manager Mohammad Heiat. Prior
to each submittal, our meticulous attention to detail
helps ensure that all deliverables from each design
discipline are well -coordinated. This is accomplished
by electronic file sharing, face-to-face coordination
meetings, and in-house QC reviews prior to
submitting each project progress phase
deliverables.
1 4
Through decades of experience, we thoroughly
understand the on -call process and have refined our
efforts to be the most beneficial for your task
orders.
The scope of work for any one task order may
involve all phases of project development. For most
general on -call engineering services requests, we
will prepare engineering design plans, reports,
specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for
construction.
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
We begin by identifying and addressing major
project design issues before work commences on
the final design and construction documents. To
initiate this phase, we meet with you to gain an
understanding of the project objectives, timing,
budget, and internal and external stakeholder
concerns and needs. We then perform research and
discovery to understand existing conditions,
development procedures, and criteria; and identify
opportunities and constraints. The utility
coordination process is also initialized. We then
review available plans and supporting documents
and prepare a report summarizing findings and
recommendations for the project design.
Conceptual plan alternatives, technical reports/
studies, and preliminary cost estimates are also
prepared as required. If necessary, we will hold
public community meetings to present the project
and describe its long-term benefits and temporary
impacts.
Typically, once a preferred alternative is selected, it will be developed into preliminary construction plans
(approximately 35-50% level). The conceptual
studies and plans developed during this phase are
used as the basis for the design development
drawings and documents. This phase is
instrumental in confirming design objectives,
highlighting project opportunities for cost savings,
and expediting the design and approval process.
FINAL ENGINEERING
Once we receive comments on the preliminary
construction plans, we further develop the final
construction documents. We typically produce PS&E
at the 90%, 100%, and final levels and submit them
for your review and submit to the appropriate
departments or other required agencies.
BID AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
As projects are typically bid to contractors after the
final engineering phase is completed, we provide bid
support services as you require. Once the project
has been awarded, we will attend the pre -
construction and other on -site meetings, as needed.
We will review shop drawing and material
submittals, address the contractor's questions and
requests for information in writing, provide
construction survey staking services, and prepare
the final Record Drawings.

Work Plans for Specific
Services
Our experienced licensed personnel will perform the
types of anticipated projects presented in the RFP
The following are work plans for typical project
tasks.
BACKGROUND RESEARCH, DATA COLLECTION,
AND FIELD REVIEW
We will obtain available as -built record drawings,
right-of-way maps, and other pertinent information
from you, the County of Los Angeles, and Caltrans,
as appropriate. We will visit the site and conduct a
project site inventory to verify and supplement the
available as -built drawings, evaluate non -compliant
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access
improvements, identify visible asphalt and concrete
deficiencies, and confirm the scope of work
identified in the task order.
DESIGN SURVEY
Our in-house surveyors will perform surveying
services to prepare the existing topographic, utility
and right-of-way base maps within the project limits.
We can also provide an aerial topographic survey
and a color digital ortho-photo if required for each
project.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGA F'10N AND
PAVEMENT ENGINEERING
We will perform subsurface explorations, soil
testing, and data analyses of the existing site and
provide design parameters, as needed. We will use
this information to prepare a report of our findings
and provide recommendations for pavement
replacement and rehabilitation options. We will work
with you to choose an economical pavement design
section to meet your budget objectives. We can also
investigate "green" opportunities to use recycled
content materials or salvaged materials reuse and
provide percolation tests, if needed.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS AND PERMIT
COMPLIANCE
If required, will prepare environmental documents,
which typically include either a Categorical
Exemption (CE) or MND pursuant to CEQA
guidelines to evaluate potential environmental
impacts. Supporting documents and studies will be
prepared as required, and we will submit this
document on your behalf to the necessary agencies.
UTILITY RESEARCH AND COORDINATION
We will provide full -service utility coordination,
including utility research (potholing if required),
determining ownership rights, submitting utility
information requests, reviewing and noting utility
conflicts, securing utility permits, and coordinating
any required utility relocations and adjustments.
TRAFFIC STUDIES AND OPERATIONAL
ANALYSIS
We have vast experience preparing traffic studies
and operations analysis reports. Our approach to the
wide variety of traffic studies and analysis is to
conduct thorough background research, data
collection, analysis, findings, conclusions, and
recommendations documentation for each project.
We have a suite of state-of-the-art traffic analysis
software for level of service analysis for traffic
impact studies, traffic simulation analysis, and
traffic signal timing/coordination, including VISSIM,
Vistro, TransModeler, and Synch ro/Si mTraffic. Our
analysis tools also include AutoTurn and several
traffic tools for intersection capacity utilization and queuing analysis.
DRAINAGE AND WATER QUALi I Y DOCUMENTS
We will prepare preliminary and final hydraulic/
hydrology analyses and reports and storm drain
improvement plans, which will be incorporated into
the project plan set.
We coordinate closely with you and your
maintenance staff for the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System compliance and to
identify Best Management Practices (BMP) that are
acceptable to you. Our coordination includes
reviewing specific cost and maintenance
requirements for proposed BMPs. We then prepare
a Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP) that details water quality considerations
and requirements. We implement BMPs that are
consistent with Low Impact Development (LID)
guidelines, as well as the Green Streets guidelines
as issued by the US EPA.
These types of improvements include options, such
as bioswales with gravel storage, dry well inlets, bic, retention areas, and/or infiltration areas that will
passively collect and treat storm water runoff to the
maximum extent practicable. If required, we will
prepare Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPP).
CONCEPT PLAN
We will prepare a concept plan based on the traffic
study recommendations. The concept plan will
depict the proposed geometric roadway
improvements and conceptual landscaping and will
accommodate all sight distance and design vehicle
requirements. The existing and proposed right-of-
way will be shown and any required right-of-way
acquisition will be indicated. We will accompany the
concept plan with a preliminary cost estimate so
you can review the cost of the project versus the
project budget to determine if any value engineering
revisions are further needed.

ALTERNATWES AND VALUE ENGINEERING
We will provide value engineering analysis and
identify design and construction alternatives that
may be employed to reduce project costs and
minimize conflicts between the proposed
improvements, existing site improvements, and
utilities.
PUBUIC OUTREACH
We will provide the necessary services to schedule
and conduct public community meetings to present
the project. Our team will work with community
groups and present informational materials in the
public forums (e.g., workshops, public hearings) to
provide a clear project description, as well as its
temporary impacts and long-term benefits.
RIG11'r-OF-WAY ENGINEERING
When right-of-way, permanent easements, or
temporary construction easements need to be
obtained due to roadway widening or other
proposed improvements, we will prepare legal
descriptions and exhibits to identify the right of way
and easement areas required for project
construction. These exhibits show existing property
lines and all required right of way and easement
areas. We provide traverse calculations and tie
distances for acquisition areas that cannot be
readily tied to a survey or construction centerline.
We can also provide preliminary title reports as part
of this task. If necessary, right-of-way acquisition
services can be provided by a specialty
subconsultant to augment our team.
AZn1SF1M=F
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN PREPARATION
Roadway improvements will be designed in
accordance with the latest City and Caltrans
requirements. The plans will depict all roadway
improvements required to implement the approved
concept plan or scope of work. Pavement
improvements and rehabilitation will be based on
the geotechnical report and the plans will address
any offsite improvements required. Design cross
sections are also prepared using Civil 3D to confirm
the roadway geometrics. We will upgrade any ADA
non -compliant improvements, such as curb ramps
and repair any damaged improvements, such as
broken sidewalk or curbs.
SIGNING AND STRIPING PLAN PREPARATION
We will adhere to your design criteria and
requirements and conduct thorough research of
existing conditions. During our field review, we will
verify improvements shown on record drawings and
identify noteworthy features, such as existing signs,
posted speed limits, existing lane widths, and
transition tapers. Signing and striping improvements
are designed in accordance with the latest California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA
MUTCD). If necessary, existing signs may be
replaced or supplemented with new signs to meet
current standards.
'TRAFFIC SIGNAL PLAN PREPARATION
During our field review, we will thoroughly research
existing conditions, including documenting existing
utilities and design constraints near the existing
traffic signals. Identifying and resolving potential
utility conflicts early and coordinating with utility
agencies for new electrical services are a critical
component of managing these projects and we
stress timely and well documented
communications. Traffic signal improvements will
be designed in compliance with the latest CA
MUTCD and some intersections may be upgraded to
video detection as required.
TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN PREPARATION
We will identify construction staging that allows
efficient construction of the improvements, while
providing a safe work zone for construction
personnel that minimizes impacts to motorists and
adjacent properties.
The success of projects is often judged from a
public/stakeholder perspective as a function of the
impacts associated with the project construction
phase. We keep this in mind throughout developing
traffic control/ construction staging plans. Our
traffic control plans show all traffic control
measures required to implement each construction
phase, including all traffic control devices, temporary lane delineation, and construction signing. Our traffic control plans follow the CA MUTCD Manual and
Work Area Traffic Control Handbook latest editions.
S11"RREET AND PEDTRIAN LIGHTING PLAN
PEPARKI-ION ES
The existing street lights and pedestrian lights within project limits may require relocation to
accommodate proposed street improvements, and/
or additional street or pedestrian lights may be
needed to satisfy your requirements for adequate
lighting. In that case, we will determine the required
"luminaire" additions, relocations, conduit, wiring,
metering, and verify all service points of connection
with the electrical company. These design details
are added to the roadway plans in accordance with
your lighting standards.
LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS
We will prepare preliminary and final planting and
irrigation plans indicating the planting theme and
layout intent, plant legend with plant species and
sizes, irrigation point of connection, legend, and
methods of irrigation application. We will create a
sustainable design by using indigenous and drought
resistant materials, where appropriate. The irrigation
system typically includes a low -volume delivery
I:$ stantec City of Downey On -Call Consultant for Civil Engineering Services RFQ No: 23-002 19
system designed to prevent water from leaving the
target site while supplying the proper amount for the
optimum plant health.
WATER, STORM DRAIN, AND SEWER PLAN
IMPROVEMENTS
Typical water improvement include the installation
of new ductile iron pipe (DIP) water mains, water
services, meters, boxes, valves, combination air
release and vacuum valve assemblies, blow -off
assemblies, and fire hydrant assemblies. Storm
drain and sewer facilities may also be provided,
replaced, or adjusted as part of stand-alone projects
or due to pavement rehabilitation or roadway
widening improvements. Our plans will conform to
your strict design and drafting standards. We will
prepare accurate utility base maps that are
consistent with surface utilities which we field verify.
Potential utility alignment and construction method
opportunities are thoroughly and effectively
investigated. Key alignment constraints and
considerations that are investigated include the
following: proposed connections to the existing
facilities- utility conflicts and depths of crossings;
options for trenchless construction methods"
California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
separation criteria; potential impacts to adjacent
pipeline trenches, traffic impacts, driveway access
and other impacts to the community and other
activities in the project areas,- construction costs"
and construction schedule constraints and
durations.
SPECIFICATIONS PREPARATION
We will prepare the project specifications based on
your supplied boilerplate that references the latest
adopted version of the Standard Specifications for
Public Works Construction (SSPWC), "Greenbook."
Our experienced staff will thoroughly review and
modify your standard boilerplate and provide
additional information or revisions to all relevant
sections of the SSPWC to help ensure that the
special provisions do not conflict with the
improvement plans and convey the design intent of
our engineers.
ENGINEER'S OPINION OF PROBABLE COST
ESTIMATE
We will first determine the Bid Schedule required
based on a thorough review of the plans and project
specifications. Quantities for these items will be
calculated and tracked using our custom software
and their unit costs will be determined based on
recent bids from local contractors. The cost
estimate will be provided with all submittals to
provide you with accurate costs throughout the
design.
masom
If permit or approval of plans from other agencies,
such as Caltrans, utility companies, or transit and
regulatory agencies are required, we will help you
prepare and process agreements through these
agencies.
BID SUPPORT SERVICES
We will assist you during the bid phase by attending the pre -bid conference and job walk, responding to requests for clarifications from prospective bidders, and issuing addenda to the bid package as necessary. We can also
tabulate and verify bids using a spreadsheet and analyze bid results to recommend and award or reject bids.
CONSTRUCTION SUPPOR"I'SERVICES
We will attend the pre -construction conference and
interpret and clarify the approved construction
documents for project design, design intent, and
implementation. We also provide construction
support to respond to contractor requests for
information (RFI), and review shop drawings and
material submittals to make sure they conform the
project bid documents. Construction survey staking
services can also be provided.
AS -BUILT PLAN PREPARATION
After construction is complete, we prepare as -built
plans based on information provided by the
contractor and/or inspector. We anticipate that this
information is provided as a set of project plans red
lined to indicate the changes that were made during
project construction,
5 stantec City of Downey On -Call Consultant for Civil Engineering Services RFQ No: 23-002 20
PROJECT CONTROL
With our comprehensive quality program, we deliver
services that have been through a detailed review,
thereby limiting errors and omissions to provide you
with high -quality products. We believe that quality
starts from the beginning of the project. Our project
managers follow a process— Project Management
(PM) Framework —on every project.
This 10 step process begins with the proposal and
concludes with final project closeout. While the
project manager is responsible for executing this
process, every team member understands and
contributes to the various steps. This system
promotes continuous improvement in our
communication and construction documents. As an
ISO90012008 registered firm, our projects and
employees regularly undergo audits of our projects
and processes. These audits assess our compliance
with Integrated Management System requirements,
evaluate the effectiveness of our PM Framework
procedures, and identify opportunities to "improve
our processes and procedures. As a result of these
audits, we maintain thorough record keeping and
transparency throughout the project. Quality control
is a key step in the PM Framework process; however,
it is the entire process that provides the client a
quality deliverables and service.
Our methodology to monitor and control projects
follows.
The PM Frameworks is organized into four major
phases of work —initiate, plan, control, and closeout.
It identifies 10 primary activities that must occur on
each project. Many activities occur on a regular
basis throughout the project to properly manage
budget and schedule, as well as to verify the quality
of the construction documents meet industry
standards and client expectations. Additional points
beyond the 10 primary activities are added as
needed to address the unique elements associated
with individual projects.
Although all the activities are important for a
successful project, a few of the activities worth
highlighting are points 2, 5, and 8.
Point 2 - We prepare a project implementation plan
for each project, including a Quality Management
Plan (QMP). Mohammad will verify that all team
members are aware of the QMP and committed to
its direction. He will also provide other related
documents that outline project and client specific
requirements and encourage their use through
ongoing discussion and quality reviews/audits.
Prepare a proposal that includes a preliminary Project Plan including scope, project budget, resources, deliverables, and schedule. Conduct and document an independent review of the final proposal. Conduct and document a hazard assessment and apply applicable controls if a field or site visit is required during the proposal phase.
Obtain written instructions to proceed and execute an approved contract. Obtain written subconsultant agreements (if applicable).

Point 5 - We use a fully integrated, Oracle based
accounting system that includes electronic
timesheet submittal, billing, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and financial statements. All
accounting procedures require appropriate fiscal
authority, and are subject to Sarbanes-Oxley
controls and US Generally Accepted Accounting
Practices (GAAP). The project level financial
information is made readily available on
Mohammad's desktop. Our Enterprise system —the
PM Dashboard —tracks the project budget at the
work labor breakdown structure level, and provides
updated information to Mohammad. Mohammad
will review the project budget weekly to confirm the
appropriate charges are hitting the project.
Point 8 - We encourage using checklists to assist in
the reviews and provide review documentation.
Mohammad will designate appropriate team
members from each discipline to carry out internal
QA reviews. The reviews will be preformed by an
individual knowledgeable of the technical
requirements, but have not been directly involved in
preparing the materials for that activity. The
individual reviews that the QC process has been
completed as evidenced by finalized and signed -off
checklists, as well as appropriate review comment
forms. The internal reviews will occur prior to major
milestone submittal to minimize your review
comments.
Another critical component is assigning the
appropriate and available team members to address
your unique project elements. With an on -call
project, it is uncertain when a project will become
available and what the specific project needs will be.
As such, we have identified our key staff and
support,- however, we will utilize our deep bench and
extensive resources available to supplement this
team as the need arises.
Our intranet system, StanNet, also provides a broad
range of information —from general news to specific
and up-to-date project and contact information. We
understand that communication is critical, and our
staff, quality management system, and customized
tools are available to facilitate the communication
process. Our overall QA/QC manager, Mohammad,
will review the initial project scope and schedule to
customize the project's QA/QC program.
To maintain schedule, we:
* Obtain a strong understanding of the required
project tasks and processes
* Commit the appropriate number of qualified and
available staff
* Prepare a thorough and realistic project
schedule
* Monitor the project schedule on a regular basis
* Make corrective adjustments to the work
process
* Communicate often and early with you
Project manager Jeff will utilize the project schedule
to identify and proactively plan upcoming activities,
and to monitor the work progress. He will confirm
critical information is flowing as needed to maintain
the project schedule and will develop alternative
work plans, if needed, to maintain schedule.
In the event that a project is delayed, we
immediately draw upon our extensive pool of
resources company wide to bring the project back
on schedule. Mohammad and Jeff will meet with
other task managers within Stantec to establish a
strategy to complete the project by a date agreed by
you. We will then prepare a detailed schedule to
share with you and the other team members.
Below are additional controls and processes which
help us consistently deliver exceptional projects on
schedule and within budget.
commi rMENT TO ACHIEVING RESULTS
The goal of all our technical and management
efforts are reducing time and cost to our clients. We
pride ourselves on achieving results. We manage
our projects to develop accurate, high -quality
deliverables that meet or exceed your expectations,
while minimizing schedule and costs.
SELECTION OF PROJECT PERSONNEL
We tailor our project team based on the project type.
This management strategy accelerates work,
improves efficiency, shortens schedules, and avoids
costly rework. In keeping with our multi -disciplinary
approach, we also include the needs and
perspectives of the technical personnel from the
project inception.
PROJECT PLAN
We prepare project plans for every project that
includes the scope of work, deliverables, schedules,
and individuals responsible for delivery. All staff
participate in an internal kick-off meeting where the
project and client goals, constraints, challenges,
proposed solutions, and the project plan are
reviewed and finalized.
5 stantec City of Downey On -Call Consultant for Civil Engineering Services RFQ No: 23-002 22
REGULAR CLIENT COMMUNICATION
Effective and sustained communication is vital to
effective management and work execution. In
addition to regular day-to-day telephone and email
communication, we conduct weekly conference
calls, progress review meetings, monthly progress
reports, and quarterly financial review meetings, to
help ensure you're consistently informed of the
project status.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
The controls and project management tools
employed are the first step to ensuring a project is
delivered on time and on budget. This and constant,
open dialogue between the project manager and
design staff ensure the project is moving along the
intended direction.
SCHEDULING SOFTWARE
Our project managers utilize the project schedule to
identify and proactively plan upcoming activities,
and to monitor the progress of work. We utilize a MS
Project Gantt chart format schedule working with
the client to confirm critical information is flowing as needed to maintain the project schedule. We
understand that schedule management and control
is an ongoing process that involves the entire project
team. Time of completion affects the project cost —
saving time, or performing the project at the
appropriate pace, can lower project costs to the
client and increase customer satisfaction.
ADDITIONAL, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS
We hold an enviable record, both for managing and
innovating technology. Our professionals use
state-of-the-art tools to perform and manage design
projects. Our projects are organized around a team
concept, where all members have access to a
common set of project data and software. Our
computer capabilities are employed to produce
information customized for the individual needs of
our clients and their projects,in differing formats.
Our documents are produced on PC- based
systems, and some of the softwares we use include:
* AutoCAD/Civil 3D

Subject: Letter of Reference and Recommendation for Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
I am pleased to provide this letter of reference and recommendation for Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. who has provided the City of Newport Beach with excellent professional engineering services. These services include preparing final construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates as well as providing construction support.
It has been a pleasure working with Stantec's project manager, Jeff Wilkerson, on various roadway improvement projects. Jeff is very attentive to details and is mindful of project budget and schedule constraints. Because of his strong management skills with his staff and subconsultants, Jeff has successfully completed several challenging roadway design projects on time and within budget. Stantec recently completed the City's Jamboree Road Pavement Rehabilitation and Reclaimed Water Conversion project and the Balboa Boulevard and Newport Coast Drive Pavement Rehabation project. The combined valuation of these two projects was approximately ten million dollars.

Our basic approach to engineering support services will be to provide the City with an experienced,
knowledgeable, and enthusiastic staff dedicated to
providing the level of service the City desires. Tetra Tech is committing our top project manager and most
experienced project engineers to this contract to ensure that this is accomplished. Our Team will be able to
recognize and anticipate problems and be able to come
Our extensive experience with similar projects will
ensure that the City will receive a high level of service delivered by qualified, knowledgeable engineering
professionals. Highly meticulous and coherent plans and specifications greatly benefit all project stakeholders, with the largest benefit realized by the Owner. Quality contract documents clearly lead to a larger number of
bidders, lower competitive bid prices (due to increased competition, the contractor has less to assume and take the risk for, and a greater overall comfort level in our design based on a long history of successful projects), and lowest overall cost while achieving a very high -
quality end product (quality contract documents mitigate the potential, and impact of change orders, and sets
forth a standard of quality the contract must achieve).
No two projects are the same, although many are similar The key is to utilize elements of work that have been
successful and can be appropriately applied to your
projects, continue to improve construction efficiencies without lowering quality based on contractor feedback,
and maximize the overall operational flexibility.
We feel our previously completed projects for the City
are examples of our quality product which has resulted in a low overall cost for the City. We want to utilize the experience gained from working on the previous
projects, and to continue providing the City with
exceptional services to assure that another project is
successfully completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Tetra Tech's experience in design and engineering
services covers all facilities in the water and wastewater systems including:
to the City with options and solutions in a timely manner.
Tetra Tech fully understands the importance of your
projects. We are offering an outstanding team, which
combines the experience, depth, and understanding
needed for the successful delivery of this contract. Our core principles establish how we plan to work together
with the City to successfully complete your projects:
• Planning Studies
• Hydraulic Modeling
• Pipelines
• Storage
• Pump and Regulatory Stations
• Water Wells/Hydrogeology
• Treatment
• Recycled Water
• Customer Retrofits
• Civil Engineering Services
• Geotechnical Engineering Services
• Environmental Services
• Mechanical (HVAC and Plumbing)
• Structural Engineering
• Architectural
• Landscape Architectural and Irrigation
• Electrical, Instrumentation and Control
• Plan Check Services
To keep the City aware of the status of the project, we will schedule and administrate design meetings and
prepare monthly progress reports as appropriate for the assignment. The following are typical key issues which
we believe must be addressed to successfully complete
design services:
• Meeting schedule
• Coordination with City, and reviewing and permitting
agencies
• Utility coordination and conflict resolution
• Potholing of conflicting utilities
• Accounting for traffic control during alignment
selection
TETRA TECH Pau 12

• Analyzing alignment alternatives
• Providing construction phasing if necessary
• Identifying options for pipeline rehabilitation
• Hydraulic calculations
• Facility layout
• Operator safety
• Maintenance friendly
• Structure aesthetics match surrounding
neighborhood
We have provided a team that can respond to many
types of water and wastewater system projects including large diameter steel water mains, PVC small mains, new
wells and well retrofits, pump stations, pressure reducing stations, flow control facilities, and more. Each type of project requires its own specific approach. To explain our ability to perform, we have provided the following
detailed approach for a pipeline design:
Meeting r je t Schedule
Tetra Tech has the necessary resources to rapidly deploy and meet aggressive project schedules. In addition, our Project Team has recent pipeline experience that
includes many design and construction issues similar to your projects, placing our team high on the issues -
resolution learning curve. Based on this experience, we have summarized several ways to expedite the project
schedule for the various pipelines:
• Perform survey and aerial work immediately by
including an area that encompasses the alterative
alignments rather than just the assumed alignment.
Tetra Tech will not authorize the preparation of the
topography until the final alignment has been
approved.
• Expedite the alignment analysis by using existing
street plans, other construction plans, and field
investigations for location of existing utilities.
• Meet early with regulatory agencies to obtain permit
requirements and construction constraints.
• Findings related to alignment analysis will be
presented to the City in memorandums based on
logical segments prior to completion of the
Preliminary Design Report. As alignments are
approved, base maps will be prepared.
• Processing of Caltrans and railroad permits can be a
time-consuming and extensive process. To expedite
these approvals, Tetra Tech will complete the design
of any portion of the pipeline requiring these
permits immediately once the alignment has been
approved. This approach will provide the City with
the maximum contingency in case difficulties arise in
the permit process.
Resolving y Issues
Agency Coordination: Immediately upon Notice -to -
Proceed for each lateral, Tetra Tech will meet with the corresponding regulatory agencies to coordinate and
define the agency requirements.
Early coordination with Agencies and defining agency
requirements in Specifications will result in less chance of Change Order. The following has been found to be
successful to accomplish this:
• Working Hours
• Lane Closures
• Storage of Equipment
• Open Cut vs. Boring
• Trench Backfill
• Pavement Removal and Replacement
In conjunction with the signing of the plans by the
regulatory agencies or receipt of approved permit, Tetra Tech recommends a meeting occur to finalize the cost
implications of the backfill and pavement replacement
requirements, construction restrictions, traffic control, and other factors which could affect the cost of
construction. A memorandum of understanding will be
prepared after the meeting and distributed to the
attendees for their concurrence. This approach will
minimize the potential of change orders to the
contractor as a result of requirements added during the construction phase.
Utility Coordination: We propose to perform our utility research and investigation immediately upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed for each pipeline. During Design
we will contact USA Dig -Alert, send preliminary, second, and final utility notices, field walk the alignment, pothole if necessary, and identify critical utilities.
The USA markings for the geotechnical investigation will also be used to verify the location of the existing utilities.
In addition, the actual potholing activities will be
monitored to assist in the investigation of hazardous
materials. The potholing services will be completed by
use of the vacuum extraction method, thereby
minimizing pavement damage and traffic disruption.
In addition, a field walk must be completed to look for evidence of infrastructure (e.g., valve cans, trench patch, vaults, etc.) as some utility owners do not belong to USA Dig Alert, and others respond with only partially
complete information. We have learned to take the extra steps to verify potential underground infrastructure.
Hazardous Waste: Our previous experience on the West
Basin Municipal Water District and Long Beach Water
Department projects, have made us sensitive to the
negative impacts associated with the discovery of
hazardous materials within the pipeline trenches. These materials, if not properly planned for in the contract
TETRAPage 13
On-CaH Civil Engineering Services I RFC? 412.3-002
documents, could have a disastrous effect on the
schedule and cost of pipeline projects. Our geotechnical investigation borings will be done on the proposed
alignment and will include a sniffer to minimize the
potential of finding unknown hazardous materials during construction. The goal is to avoid the hazardous material, but if it must be encountered, it is important to be aware of it, quantify the amount and type and estimate the cost of disposal.
Traffic Control. When the proposed pipeline alignments
are located within highly traveled streets, traffic control will be a major concern of the regulatory agencies. Traffic control plans will be prepared with the objective of
providing the contractor with adequate room for safety
as well as efficient operation while providing the least possible disruption to the traveling public. We believe that traffic control is a key design element and it will be completed together with the design of the pipeline.
Alignment Selection: Proposed pipeline alternative
alignments will be evaluated relative to the following
items:
• Utilities
• Hazardous Materials/High Groundwater
• Constructability
• Traffic Impacts
• Community Impacts
• Permit Requirements
In addition, when the proposed pipelines cross signalized intersections which are highly traveled, the intersections need to be evaluated as to whether bore and jack
operation or open -cut construction will be the most
beneficial solution. During the preliminary design phase, we will prepare sketches of the proposed bore and
receiving pit locations and corresponding traffic control concepts. It should be noted that if the intersections are bored, the streets will not be able to be open to traffic at the end of each workday.
Construction Phasing: Construction phasing will be a key element of the project specifications. We will work with the regulatory agencies to minimize the impacts of the
construction to the adjoining properties. We are
sensitive to their concerns regarding construction
impacts and the concerns of the local residences and
businesses along the proposed alignments. The following are several key issues to consider:
• Identify Schools and Emergency Facilities
• Develop Plan to Minimize Impacts
• Maintain Access to Commercial, Businesses,
Residences
• Limit Length of Work Zone
Our previous experience has shown us the importance of
limiting the length of the total work zone the contractor will be allowed. By requiring the contractor to pressure test, place final pavement, and perform clean-up within reasonable working limits prior to starting new
excavation work, the construction impacts to the
public/community are minimized.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT D
PROCEDURES
Tetra Tech team's strength lies in the qualifications of our management team and our steadfast commitment to
following our propriety written Project Management
Policies and Procedures, to proactively manage the
project's schedule, resources, budget, and deliverables to ensure project metrics are maintained or exceeded, thus ensuring the overall success of the project.
Successful project teams need leaders who are agile and flexible with the ability to adapt quickly to changing
circumstances to maintain project schedules and
budgets. Successful organizations invest in their people, resources, and tools and develop processes and
procedures that can implemented rapidly in times of
uncertainty.
The benefits of our organization's investments and Tetra Tech's culture of developing leaders and managers with
these abilities has been on full display during the
COVID-19 crisis. Over the past several years, Tetra Tech invested in highly secure, cloud -based software products, including the complete suite of Microsoft Office 365,
allowing our staff to collaborate and communicate
remotely. This investment allows Tetra Tech's
professionals and project teams to remain fully
connected and hard at work servicing our clients
regardless of their location. Because our investments
include the latest and most advanced cybersecurity
features and certifications, we can extend secure and
remote access to project files and deliverable work
products to our subconsultants and clients, as well.
During the COVID 19 crisis, Tetra Tech closed hundreds of offices located in countries across the globe. Despite
those challenges, 95 percent of our staff, more than
25,000 associates, were able to work from home and
continue to produce deliverables such as memos,
reports, permit applications, and engineering designs.
We are proud that our organization successfully
navigated the challenges impacting so many of our staff and offices. Our project team has demonstrated that we
can adapt quickly and continue to produce high -quality work products while incorporating client and stakeholder input and feedback without "face-to-face" meetings and
"printed" materials. As a result, Tetra Tech is confident we can maintain workflow, meet the project's schedule
goals, and stay agile and productive in the event of
another disaster declaration.

Planning the Project
Every project, regardless of size and complexity, must
undergo the same planning process. Of course, each step is scalable based on the various components of the
project. Planning starts with a thorough understanding of the goals and objectives of the project, items to be
provided by others, and all project stakeholders. With
this basic information, the project is further developed through the creation of a detailed scope of work,
including the deliverables. Next the WBS, or Work
Breakdown Structure, which mirrors the scope of work is developed to assign resources, budget and schedule
required to complete each scope of work item. All
elements together yield the basis for the Project
Management Plan (PMP).
This planning performs multiple functions. The obvious
function is that it will allow us to identify critical path tasks and staffing needs. We can make sure that certain resources are made available when needed to complete
the task along the schedule's critical path so that
subsequent dependent tasks can begin as scheduled. In
addition, it ensures that our team has properly
considered the resources and schedule needed to
complete each task, eliminating surprises during project implementation.
Another function is that, through the process of creating the plan and distributing it to our team members, it
serves as a primary initial communication provided at the internal kick-off meeting to verify that all team members are completing the project in concert with each other,
understanding the reliance on various disciplines, outside influences including subconsultants, permitting agencies and the client.
The PMP also provides direction on internal and external communication protocol, design, and CAD standards,
filing systems/document control, project risks, internal schedule to allow for proper quality reviews, and quality review plan to be followed. We create the work plan and then work the work plan — rigorously —to ensure overall project success for all stakeholders.
Project Management
To accomplish the project goals, we will utilize proven project management techniques and tools, clearly
described in our organized and detailed work plan. From the many similar projects we have completed in the past, we have developed a methodology and philosophy that
will serve as the basis for this project.
The Project Manager will be responsible for making
certain that the project meets schedule, budget, and
quality goals. Our Project Managers will direct and rely on a team of experienced design managers, engineers,
technical staff and subconsultants to carry out the
technical details of the project. The Project Manager will provide overall project management including contract
administration, and budget, schedule tracking, kick-off and progress meetings and controls, and meeting the
project's quality goals.
We rely on systematic management procedures to
ensure the project is delivered on time, and within
budget. Tetra Tech will implement standard project
controls to monitor and evaluate project progress. A
detailed critical path schedule with milestone submittal dates and a projected project expenditure curve will be developed. A centralized computer -based project
accounting system will be used to quickly and accurately monitor the expenditure of person hours and dollars.
Budget status for the entire project, as well as budget status for individual tasks, will be monitored so that
comparisons and contingency plans can be developed as
needed throughout the life of the project. The accurate accounting of project expenditures, coupled with a
detailed critical path schedule incorporating milestone submittals, will enable Tetra Tech to monitor total
project status and therefore modify our project work
plan at the earliest indications of deviations from the initial plan.
The Project Manager is committed to effective
communication and accurate documentation as they are
fundamental to the success of the project. Meeting
minutes, schedule, memoranda, monthly progress
reports, decision logs, and other information will be
made available for the project team and to the City. The Project Manager will be proactive in communicating
through telephone calls, emails, and one-on-one
meetings.
Communications
Our approach to this contract includes a "teamwork and
partnering" style with the City. We are hired for our
resources, expertise, independent thought, technical
background, and problem -solving abilities. We also
recognize that the City possesses these same attributes of past experiences, knowledge, and innovative ideas.
Therefore, we understand that it is imperative to work
closely with your staff to ensure a successful project.
The Tetra Tech team's goal is to keep the City's staff
informed from day one of the project. Communication
tools include formal progress reports, meeting agendas
and minutes, e-mail and an informal give-and-take
approach starting with our Project Manager and
extending to every member of the Tetra Tech project
team. Our Project Manager will be responsible for day-
to-day communications. However, at the project outset,
a chain of command and communication methods will be
set-up and agreed upon.
TETRATECH Page 1
On-CaH Civil Engineering Services I RFC? 412.3-002
Schedule Control
Tetra Tech will implement standard project controls to
monitor and evaluate project progress. We have a
long-standing commitment with our clients to deliver
projects on time. However, throughout the course of any given project, there may be occasions where project
schedules slip for a variety of reasons outside of our
control. We have successfully mitigated project schedule delays in the past by increasing the available staff
assigned to a project and by assisting our Clients with thorough and timely reviews of deliverables. The Tetra
Tech team will always strive to work with the City to
bring any foreseeable delays back on schedule.
The Tetra Tech team is committed to delivering a project that not only meets or exceeds the performance criteria established by the City, but to accomplish this within the allocated budgets. Budget and schedule tracking tools
will be used to manage the day-to-day activities of a
project and ensure that the project is progressing within schedule and under budget; our Project Manager utilizes Tetra Tech's "PM Portal." The PM Portal is the primary
project reporting software system proprietary to Tetra
Tech. It provides quick and easy access to a variety of reports for managing projects, in real time, including
labor and direct cost per task, subcontractor's costs per task, budget remaining, and other financial information.
Risk Management Approach
Our risk management approach predicts problems which
may negatively impact the project and determines the
course of action to mitigate the risk should it occur. Our approach embodies a continuous process of identifying,
assessing, mitigating, monitoring, managing, and
controlling risk in accordance with our corporate risk
management policy and best commercial practices. We
have refined this approach over a 50-year history, on a variety of private, state/federal governmental and
municipal contracts.
Resource Management
Tetra Tech employs project management tools for
project required labor allocation per project, to the task level, with a three-month forecast. When compared to
the expected peak workload, Tetra Tech has more than
enough staff capacity to bring on additional resources to meet all of our deadlines. The team members who have
been included in this project team were not only selected based on their qualifications that fit with the
requirements of the project, but because they are
available to commit their time to this project.
A tool that Tetra Tech employs to manage available
human resources is keeping an updated long-term view
of key deliverable dates within Microsoft Project. This allows us to ensure that the intensive last minute
subconsultant coordination, reprographics, and shipment of deliverables do not conflict with other commitments.
If one or more deadlines coincide, this forward planning allows the team to prepare for surges.
Quality rant alit antral
Our team clearly understands the importance of the
City's projects and the importance of ensuring that the City receives the highest quality product. Quality
management is an integral part of our project
management work plan. Tetra Tech has developed an
office environment and philosophy which encourages,
and requires, a very high level of quality in which our clients have come to expect from Tetra Tech.
Our quality assurance program includes a detailed
QA/QC Plan will be prepared and submitted for review by the City, upon request. This plan establishes lines of
communication and procedures for ensuring quality
during all phases of the project. The plan is flexible and can be modified to respond to your specific
requirements, as our best efforts are fruitless unless they meet your criteria.
In keeping with our open communications policy, our
Quality Control documents can be made available to the
City throughout the project. We believe that it is in our best interest to have our clients fully informed and up to date on our quality control process. Design reviews, field inspections, and material testing can be provided to the City in either hard copy or electronically.
We recognize that implementation of a QA/QC Plan will
be an important element in how the City assesses the
success of this project. The QA/QC Plan will be
incorporated into the PMP. QA/QC review forms will be
used to document that internal reviews have been
conducted. All comments will be identified with the
reviewer's name. When comments are resolved to the
satisfaction of the reviewers, the reviewers and our
Project Manager will sign off on the review forms.
The QA/QC Plan will ensure technical adequacy and QC
of work, along with design parameters are translated
into planning and design documents. QA/QC will be
directed by Tom Epperson, PE, and Steve Tedesco, PE,
and led by Mark Bush, PE, and Jason Fussel, PE, PLS, ENV SP, LEED AP, QSD/P. Formal QA/QC reviews are
scheduled around project submissions. The review will
be completed well ahead of the submission date to allow time to correct potential errors and omissions, including complete subconsultant coordination. In every CA/QC
review, a checklist form developed by Tetra Tech for the project is utilized for the review. The reviewer completes the checklist by adding text and makes any additional
comments in red on the document. The Project Manager
and the CA/QC Manager review the comments for fatal
TETRA TECH Page 16
On-CaH Civil Engineering Services I RFC? 412.3-002
flaws. If none are found, the Project Manager oversees
the implementation of the comments by closing each
comment on the form with a response and by addressing
the changes on the plans by highlighting the revision.
Upon receipt of a Task Order Request from the City, our proposed Project Director/Manager, Tom Epperson will:
• Review the available information for the Task Order.
• Meet with the City's Project Manager and City staff
members (via teleconference or in person) to discuss
the intent of the project and clarify the nature of the work.
• Meet with the Tetra Tech project team for selection
of the appropriate Task Manager and technical staff
resources for the assignment.
• Follow-up meeting with the City's Project Manager
to ensure expectations are well defined.
• The selected Task Order Team will assist in the
preparation of the Task Order budget, goals and
schedule.
Data Research: Tetra Tech will determine the availability of design drawings, calculations, reports, photographs, studies, etc., which are pertinent to the completion of the Task Order. These documents will be reviewed to
determine their impact on the project prior to a visit to the project site.
Coordination with the City: A Manager will meet with key personnel from the City in person to discuss the
proposed work. A site visit will be conducted at this time to determine actual site conditions, record pertinent
measurements, and take photographic records of the
project site.
Draft Proposal: The Project Manager will prepare a draft proposal which will define our understanding of the
proposed work, our approach to completing the required
work, the project team, the scope of the proposed work, schedule, and fee. Fee estimates for each Task Order will be prepared using a cost/price modeling tool (CPM)
which was developed by Tetra Tech. The CPM is a
spreadsheet that itemizes each of the tasks required to complete the project, the personnel required to
complete each task and the number of hours required by
each person for each task. In addition to providing a
tabulation of the hours required to complete each task, the CPM also reports the total number of hours required by each person and a total cost for the entire Task Order.
Large Task Orders may require a comprehensive project
schedule, prepared using MS Project; smaller task orders may require less formal schedules, which may be
conveyed to the City in writing via email. The draft
proposal will be reviewed by our Quality Assurance
Manager, Task Manager, and select team members.
Final Proposal and Work Plan: Tetra Tech will discuss the draft proposal internally, make the necessary
adjustments and submit our final proposal. After the fully executed agreement between the City and Tetra Tech is
in place, the Project Manager will prepare a Work Plan.
The Work Plan is an internal Tetra Tech document which
will contain the scope of work, project team, schedule, and budget for the project. The format of the Work Plan will vary with the type and size of the given task order.
For small projects the Work Plan may be a short
memorandum which is distributed by email to the
members of the project team. No internal kick-off
meeting will be required for smaller projects. For larger projects, the Work Plan will be a comprehensive
document which is distributed and discussed at an
internal kick-off meeting. The kick-off meeting will
include all key project team members. The input of
engineers and specialists of other disciplines may be
required to provide comprehensive solutions to some of
the tasks. Tetra Tech has experienced staff in all required disciplines who will address any situation that comes up.
Task Order Authorization: Upon receipt of the
notice -to -proceed from the City for a given Task Order, Tetra Tech will schedule a project kickoff meeting or
teleconference, update the Quality Control Plan (as
necessary), and prepare a Health and Safety Plan (if
required).
Project Execution: The last and most important
component of the management process is to perform the
work. This component is not easily summarized here
because it is dependent on the type of work required and the scope of work for each Task Order.

In June 2020, Tetra Tech received authorization to prepare the design documents (plans, specifications, and cost estimate) for Phase 1 of the water main replacements. The project included about 3,700 LF of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP), 121 domestic services, 23 valves, and 6 fire hydrant laterals. In June 2021, LBUD selected Tetra Tech to prepare the design documents for Phase 2 of the water main replacements. This project includes about 2,500 linear feet of 8-inch and 12-inch DIP, including associated services, valves, fire hydrants, and a condition assessment.
The scope of work also included the bidding and construction management phase services for both phases of the project.
The construction cost difference between the two phases was due to the significant increase of costs for several bit items, including 6-inch/8-inch PVC pipe, fire hydrant assemblies, colored stamped concrete, and slurry backfill. Contractors are busy and bidding higher costs in addition to the material cost increases across the board. In addition, Division of Drinking Water required extensive precautions for the location near the waters, including concrete encasement and additional joint restraints throughout the system.

® Management Plan
Willdan will implement a uniform approach for projects consisting of conducting a kick-off meeting to discuss detailed project scoping and criteria, reviewing existing available record information, and the City goals for the project. Mr. Casillas will maintain communication with the City's Project Manager to communicate effectively, reduce misunderstandings and project conflicts, address project concerns identified during quality assurance and quality control and report regularly on the status of project milestones. Willdan's project management approach will be to monitor and contain costs for this project, meet schedule milestones, and deliver quality project bid packages. The strategies below will be implemented as part of our project management approach.
Work Plan: A work plan addressing staffing resources and assignments, scope of work, deliverables, budget, and 40 schedule will be developed and submitted to the City for approval. This plan — as approved by the City staff — will provide definitive direction to the project team.
M1Schedule A schedule defining each task needed to meet key milestone dates will be prepared and submitted to the City for approval. Using open dialogue with our team, the City's project staff, and stakeholders, Willdan will adjust as needed to meet the project delivery goals.
Meetings: Project team meetings will be held to facilitate informed discussions and decisions and build team consensus on solutions and action items. All team members will be informed through complete and accurate meeting minutes highlighting decisions, action items, and prompt follow-through.
Research and Development: A comprehensive and accurate base map with verified field conditions is critical to developing a design addressing potential conflicts. Existing record improvement drawings such as traffic signal, signing and striping, street lighting, and street improvement as-builts — together with photographs and field observations — will make up the resources used to compile the base mapping. This includes prompt utility requests to obtain necessary information regarding buried and overhead facilities.
Designs: A comprehensive and preliminary design incorporating topographic features, field reviews, and utility data is vital to effective design. Impact identification at this stage is critical to controlling construction costs and minimize construction delays. Construction cost estimates are routinely updated during the various task phases. Final design plans, specifications, and construction estimates will be implemented as soon as the preliminary design has been approved and pavement strategies have been reviewed and approved.
Services during Construction and As -Built Plans: Mr. Casillas and their assigned Task Managers will be available to the City during the bidding and construction phases to provide technical assistance as needed. Upon completion of construction and receipt of the contractor's and inspector's redlined control plan sets, we will review and clarify any apparent conflicts in as -constructed notations and prepare an as -built set of record drawings for the City's files.
Quality lrl alms ControlPlan
Willdan maintains a strict quality control program that includes peer review and constructability review of all design projects.
This process has served us well and is demonstrated by the amount of successful construction that has taken place because of Willdan design projects. The Willdan team's management approach has been proven on past projects to be effective in delivering design projects on time, within budget and to the client's satisfaction. Willdan conducts weekly meetings to discuss project planning, workload leveling, and assess critical staff assignments. For example, if a Willdan staff member has upcoming quality control responsibilities, no other assignments will be allocated to that person that would impede his/her ability to succeed in performing a critical design check or independent review.
Our Project manager's diligent implementation of project management controls such as strategy work sessions; issue, action item, and decisions logs; critical -path, resource -loaded scheduling; and other project management strategies based upon the Project Management Institute guidelines ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget — facilitating effective resource planning activities. Our project manager will also conduct performance briefings to discuss staffing and schedule needs and challenges and any project issues that require increases in staffing.

® Project Controls
Willdan implements a coordinated process to ensure adequate time is dedicated to our on -call services, in conjunction with staff and office workloads. The manhour breakdown structure subdivides the work into manageable segments and is the basis for our project managers' project control plan. The structure is tailored to specific project needs, but generally has typical elements, including codes to identify work segments and engineering disciplines, weekly reports, and project resources schedule. Each project manager then updates the schedule. This simple system provides accountability for Willdan's payroll, billings, and progress reporting and serves as the basis for all cost -related project management data. Our on -time delivery methodology and project control system are designed to provide a coordinated effort between all task facets of a project in the framework of the pre -established master schedule, budget controls, and reporting system. Our project control system provides an objective measure of performance — integrating:
Progress Reporting
The submittal requirements and format for consistent monthly reporting of project costs and status will be C*1 confirmed with the City during the project start-up period. The status report will contain a project performance summary, action items, outstanding items to be resolved, updated schedule, and comparison and narrative of budgeted costs versus actual costs. Willdan will also be documenting the progress of employing sustainability principles throughout the design and construction phases to achieve ENVISION® certification upon project completion.
Staffing and Resource Management
Willdan will manage this project with a can -do attitude toward time and cost-effective planning and design services. Our project management philosophy revolves around early and frequent communication with project team members, including the City staff, subconsultants, and project stakeholders. The most effective management tool we will use is open and documented communication, especially when meeting tight project deadlines. Our Project Manager, Mr. Raphael Casillas, PE will ensure the project requirements are clearly understood and reinforced through frequent communication with the entire project team. The following is a brief outline of our management approach to delivering exceptional services to the City with a quality, cost- effective product. Mr. Casillas will use this approach to promote team communication, collaboration, and proper documentation in managing all phases of the project.
® Prepare a work plan that addresses staffing and assignments, scope of work, deliverables, budget, and schedule with milestones. The work plan provides definitive directions to the project team as agreed to by the City during the initial kick-off meeting.
® Conduct project team meetings, including the kick-off meeting, to facilitate informed discussions and decisions and team consensus on solutions and action items. All team members are kept informed through meeting minutes that highlight decisions, action items, and prompt follow-through. ® Consistently use project tracking tools, such as issues and decision logs, monthly progress reports, and schedule updates.
® Utilize effective communication mediums through a complete stakeholder contact list specifically tailored to facilitate face-to-face, phone, email, written document, and fax communications and project needs. Communication never stops.
Subconsultant Management Plan
One of Willdan's advantages over most of our competitors is that we offer nearly all the required engineering services with in-house experts and technicians. We do not need to hire and manage as many subconsultants as other firms do. However, we understand and support the Port's goals for Small/Very Small Business Enterprises.
Willdan has made a commitment to hiring disadvantaged, minority, women, and disabled veteran businesses whenever possible. We always strive to meet or exceed the goals set by our client agencies. Subconsultants will take all formal direction from our project manager. All activities related to the administration of the subconsultant agreements will be managed by our project manager. Mr. Casillas will review our subconsultants' progress on a weekly basis. All subconsultant work is included in our quality control reviews.
Statement of Qualifications for On -Call 18
�y Professional Civil Engineering Services
Cost Control
The budget control system is prepared in accordance with the work breakdown structure. The budget becomes the control against which performance is measured. The budget is time phased by combining project master scheduling data with budget data. Actual costs are compared with budgeted costs and variances analyzed.
Deviations between planned and actual cost can then be evaluated to forecast and control future work.
Beginning with electronic timekeeping, project hours are assigned to the appropriate tasks and subtasks and booked as work -in -process. Pre -bill reports are generated that identify the hours to be billed, along with any other direct charges for the project. This is the information used to determine each month's invoicing. Once hours and charges are billed, they are shifted from Work -in -Process to Accounts Receivable to ensure that billed hours are inactivated. Monitoring is easily accomplished through team member progress updates and comparisons between the scope of work, schedule, and budget.
Schedule Control
A critical path method master schedule will be prepared following the notice to proceed. The project schedule will identify major items of work to be performed and will be the vehicle for monitoring, controlling, and tracking progress. The schedule will be updated monthly to reflect actual and forecasted completions. This allows our project manager and Task Managers to anticipate and forecast potential issues and develop an advanced strategy to proactively mitigate challenges before they impact the schedule. If it is determined that a design or construction element is falling behind schedule, Mr. Casillas will meet with the respective team members, identify the problem, and see to it that extra support and effort are expended to bring the project back on schedule. Willdan will keep the City staff informed of the overall schedule, including advanced notification of any necessary adjustments or actions to get the project back on track. ® Mr. Casillas will monitor all project progress on a weekly basis and will use the below approach to maintain the project's schedule.
® Create a detailed project schedule outlining all tasks, including quality control efforts and tasks to be performed by the City staff, with completion dates necessary to achieve the overall schedule goal.
Assign staff with the appropriate level of expertise that can develop and deliver submittals correctly the first time and avoid costly rework.

Constructability Review
Willdan's construction management team will perform a constructability review of the plans and specifications, including analysis of quantities and costs, check of construction phasing, full analysis of the contractor's schedule, and applicable requirements for federal funding and reimbursement submittals. They will also review the SWPPP to confirm that the contractor's plan meets QSP/QSD requirements and that all storm water permits are in place. Additionally, our construction manager will maintain a project -first philosophy with the contractor.
When this is achieved, construction is easy, straight forward, and accomplished with a minimum of issues. We are a team; and right is right and wrong is wrong for all parties. When this is established, it creates a fair environment for all and project success is achieved.
Quality Assurance and Control
Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring sound engineering practices and quality deliverables are produced for our clients.

�y Professional Civil Engineering Services
Willdan and the City deadlines, and determining the proper level of QA/QC review. The four review levels for project deliverables are:
® Level 1— peer review only
Level 2 — peer review and editorial review (documents)
Level 3 — peer review, editorial review, and engineer review ® Level 4 — all elements of Level 3 plus additional reviews by specific technical experts The two major components of the quality assurance review are technical and communication reviews. A Level 3 review will be performed on engineering design plans, specifications, and cost estimate to ensure the design is sound, constructible, and appropriate for the intended use and to confirm deliverables meet the scope of work requirements. This process involves reviews by independent designers and the Project Manager prior to submittal for formal review under the agreed -upon project -specific quality assurance plan. Project documents, including letters and correspondence, are subject to a Level 2 review to ensure deliverables are reasonably organized, text and presentation are understandable and easy to follow, any required formats are followed, and there are no grammatical or spelling errors.
