Page | 3 Proposal to Provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services Telegraph Road Traffic Throughput and Safety Enhancements Project, Phase 2; CIP No. 16‐05 SECTION 2: UNDERSTANDING OF NEED

Project Background
Telegraph Road is a six-lane major arterial and one
of most important and highly traveled roadways in
the area. Telegraph Road crosses the City of
Downey from the westerly city limit at the Rio Honda
Channel to the easterly city limit at the San Gabriel
River. Telegraph Road is a highly traveled road and
has a daily traffic volume of approximately 22,000-
28,000 vehicles per day with an average speed limit
of 45 MPH. Parking along Telegraph Road is
prohibited in the eastbound direction throughout the
entire project limits between the hours of 4-6 PM with
the exception of the portions located adjacent to the
apartment complexes, whereas parking is prohibited
in the westbound direction with the exception of
areas located adjacent to retail uses where on-street
parking is permitted for a maximum time of one hour
between 9AM and 10PM. The southern half
(eastbound direction) of Telegraph Road is located
in the City of Downey while the northern half of
Telegraph Road (westbound direction) is located in
the City of Pico Rivera. Adjacent land uses primarily
consist of single and multi-family residential,
medical, office, retail, lodging and industrial.

The City of Downey has performed a detailed analysis of the accident data conducted on Telegraph Road and it shows that there were collision patterns at both signalized and unsignalized intersections that could be improved through the construction of raised median islands traffic and traffic signal updates and installation of signal equipment as well as managing pedestrian and bicycle incidents with the help of accurate traffic counts of pedestrian traffic that would enhance safety. Such specific issues are needed to enhance traffic safety and improve operations on Telegraph Road were identified which qualified this project for funding through the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program.

Project Description
Per the project plans, the work to be performed under this Contract primarily consists of the construction of new raised median islands, improvements to the existing frontage road medians, repairs of existing parkway improvements, landscape and irrigation improvements and two traffic signal modifications.

The work shall include, but not limited to staking and surveying; traffic control; AC and PCC removals; HMA and RHMA paving; various PCC improvements such as sidewalk, driveway, raised median, curb ramps, cross gutters, gutters, median noses, local depressions; PCC retaining walls with hand railings; curb drains; decorative PCC pavement and pavers; median French drains; adjustment of utility covers; landscape and irrigation improvements, USA and all needed potholing for all the existing underground utilities shown or not shown on plans, all the equipment and material to be removed, the installation of conduits, installation of poles with new foundations and signal equipment, electrical service cabinets and traffic signal controller cabinets with foundations and equipment in accordance with the project plans and specifications; signage and striping.

Construction Staging and Schedule: The FCG Team has worked on several similar projects with similar features and requirements, and understand how contractors will plan to stage and schedule work for this project.

Typically, the Contractor would work on project items on the outside (Sidewalks, curb ramps, driveways, cross gutters, electrical, etc.) then construct the raised median and the finish the job with PCC and AC pavement and striping, all in one stage. However, since this project consists of two work areas on Telegraph Road, the Contractor may divide the work into two stages as shown in the proposed schedule (See Exhibit 1).

Construction Activities and Potential Issues and Recommendations The FCG team has reviewed the plans and specifications for this project and gained a thorough understanding of the work. Major anticipated construction activities include, but are not limited to:

1. Construction Staking and Surveying

2. Traffic Control, Public Convenience Safety.

3. AC and PCC removals

4. HMA and RHMA Paving

5. Raised Median Islands

6. Various PCC improvements (Sidewalk, curb, driveways, curb ramps, etc.)

7. Modifying Traffic Signal Complete Per Plan at Telegraph Road and True Avenue.

8. Modifying Traffic Signal Complete Per Plan at Telegraph Road and Birchbark Avenue.

9. Adjustment of Utility covers

10. Landscape and irrigation improvements

11. Signage and Striping

The FCG team has reviewed the project plans and specifications and found the following potential issues to be addressed for your review and consideration that will result in significant savings of time and cost to the City:

ISSUE RECOMMENDATION
Safety
Safety is the most important thing on any construction project. This includes, but is not limited to, pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists, contractor workers, inspectors, city and agency staff, and anyone in the vicinity of the project. The FCG inspector will enforce safety at all times, protecting all from harm due to construction activities.

Coordination
With SCE: Typically, coordination with utility companies takes time, especially with Southern California Edison (SCE). It is highly recommended that coordination with such agencies is done and completed prior to award of construction to avoid delays.

With Utility Companies: The FCG team will coordinate with Utility Companies for relocation of certain facilities and adjusting manholes and covers. FCG has worked on several projects that required coordination with a variety of utility companies.

With Contractor and Stakeholders: The FCG team will coordinate all work with the Contractor and the City. The Resident Engineer and Inspector will keep all parties (including City of Pico Rivera) involved of all issues and will conduct meetings to address all issues and copy all on correspondences.

Equipment Lead Time Approval of the submittals for the traffic signal equipment and gear should be made early on at the start of the job due to the long lead time on procuring those items.

Signal Pole Foundations
The plans call for new signal pole foundations to be installed near the location of the existing foundations.

Construction of new foundations in the same exact location cannot be done and the existing signal must remain operational; therefore, layout of the new foundations must be done as part of a field meeting in the presence of the City staff. The FCG team will exert a lot of effort to mitigate this issue.

Traffic Control & Public
Inconvenience
This project is approximately X miles long and both sides of Telegraph Road consist of many businesses, health care facilities, residences, and an LA Metro Yard which have one or more driveways that will be closed during construction. In addition, parking will be limited during construction of certain areas which will result in a great deal of inconvenience to the public. The FCG team will ensure full compliance to public notification, project plans and specs, MUTCD for traffic control, and coordination with all affected parties. The RE will ensure circulation of information in a timely manner for all work.

ADA Curb Ramps
The plans call for construction of several curb ramps and the FCG Team will visit the jobsite with the Contractor and participate in the layout process to ensure full compliance of all ramps. In addition, the bid item quantities show a total of 39 curb ramps where the plans call out for a total of 38 curb ramps.

SECTION 3: SCOPE OF SERVICES
Page | 5 Proposal to Provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services Telegraph Road Traffic Throughput and Safety Enhancements Project, Phase 2; CIP No. 16‐05 SECTION 3: SCOPE OF SERVICES
The FCG team has extensive experience managing federally funded construction projects as required by FHWA and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). We will take this experience and our methodology and use it to bring a successful completion to this project. The FCG team will be led by our PM|RE, Mr. A.B. Fakhouri, PE, QSD, who will be the primary contact for this project from the Notice to Proceed (NTP) until Project Acceptance. Mr. Fakhouri will coordinate all construction management, inspection, and materials testing work based on the project schedule and will ensure the team is performing work in accordance with the needs of this project. Mr. Fakhouri will work with the Inspector to setup the project files and folders electronically utilizing the Caltrans LAPM for the filing system. Secondly, Mr. Fakhouri will ensure full-time inspection and documentation is done properly by the Field Inspector with the help of the Office Engineer to ensure compliance with the project plans and specifications and other standards. In addition, Mr. Fakhouri will coordinate materials sampling and testing per the Quality Assurance Plan and will document all results. Finally, Mr.

Fakhouri will coordinate final inspection, punch list, as-builts, and project acceptance with the Field Inspector and Office Engineer to ensure full project compliance and to provide the City with a complete set of hard copies and electronic copies of all project documents utilizing the Caltrans LAPM and Construction Manual. The FCG team will perform construction management, inspection, and materials testing services in the following stages:

1. Pre-Construction
a. NTP and Move-In Period - Once the construction contract is approved, we will discuss the Project move-in period and start of construction with the Contractor. Once this discussion is complete, we will recommend to the City issuance of the NTP and establish the date of the first chargeable working day. This is recommended to maintain the Project schedule and provide the Contractor ample time to obtain permits and submit all necessary submittals prior to start of construction. A 20-day move-in period is recommended because it allows sufficient time to review submittals, especially for long lead items such as signal and lighting poles and equipment.
b. Pre-Construction Meeting - Once the NTP is issued, the FCG team will coordinate the pre-construction meeting by preparing a list of attendees, including, but not limited to, the Contractor, Designer, City, and utility companies. Prior to the meeting, the RE will prepare for the City’s review an agenda that identifies the following: documents required from the Contractor for supervision and safety, certified payroll requirements, materials sampling and testing criteria, and certificates of compliance for all materials. Following the meeting, attendees will receive meeting minutes, including a sign-in sheet, for their records. c. Coordination - FCG has successfully worked with many public works Contractors in Southern California and has developed strong working relationships based on trust and respect. The FCG team has the experience and capability of communicating and partnering with the Contractor and their sub-contractors. The FCG team will maintain a professional and a respectful relationship with the Contractor staff continuously. FCG specializes in the construction management and coordination of various specialty projects.

2. Utility Coordination
Coordination with third-party utilities holds a high risk of potential schedule delay. As a first order of business, our RE will work closely with the City, City Utilities Department, Liberty Utilities, SCE, the Gas Company, and the Engineer of Record to develop a comprehensive list of utilities and elements that will require relocation, abandonment, adjustment, and/or protection prior to construction. Utility requirements and durations will then be incorporated into the Special Provisions.

3. Project Coordination
Our PM|RE, A.B. Fakhouri, is highly qualified to effectively manage this Project as he has managed numerous similar projects in the past. He will act as the prime point of contact between the Contractor, the City, and the utility companies. FCG’s PM|RE will ensure timely coordination with property owners adjacent to the Project during the pre-condition survey, construction, and post-construction activities. Mr. Fakhouri will also maintain continuous communication with the City, keeping everyone informed as the Project progresses; maintain a close working relationship with all stakeholders and a cohesiveness within the CM team; and will be the primary source of communication for this project as he will be fully aware of all project activities, issues, and concerns.

SECTION 3: SCOPE OF SERVICES
Page | 6 Proposal to Provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services Telegraph Road Traffic Throughput and Safety Enhancements Project, Phase 2; CIP No. 16‐05 a. Adjacent Residences – Telegraph Road is a major arterial which crosses several intersections per the plans. It’s imperative to address the proximity of certain residences with property lines connected to the proposed project. Construction work typically generates various nuisances that result in irritation by residents which ultimately results in complaints. Some of these nuisances are noise, dust, and travel delay due to lane closures. The FCG team will address these issues at the Pre-Construction Meeting and will request that the Contractor implement measures to address each of these issues throughout the life of the Project to minimize impact on the residents. FCG will provide sufficient information to the residents to ensure proper transfer of information continuously. This information will be passed on via notifications, hotline, public meetings, etc.
b. Adjacent Businesses - Each stage of construction is unique in terms of sequence, safety, convenience to the traveling public, and extensive coordination with stakeholders. Extensive partnering and coordination are needed with nearby businesses during business hours, as these immediately adjacent businesses will feel most impacted by the Project. We will coordinate with all businesses regularly through weekly and monthly meetings as needed. We will contact Owners and Managers of each establishment in the region and explain to them the nature of closures and detours, especially night and day delivery schedules to businesses within nearby shopping centers, as well as others. All team members are experienced with outreach participation. c. Bus Routes - Coordination with LA Metro Line 62 – FCG’s PM|RE will manage the Project’s coordination efforts with LA Metro, as needed. A critical factor for constructing this Project is to ensure conformance with all requirements due to the Project being constructed along a very busy route with a highly significant need for public transportation usage. It is imperative the work on this Project does not impact the pick-up and drop-off locations. The FCG team will work diligently to ensure the Contractor submits a comprehensive Traffic Handling Plan addressing all possible issues with performing work along Paramount Boulevard.

The team will continuously inspect the work to ensure traffic flow is not obstructed and traffic signs and devices are always secured and functional.

Our PM|RE has worked on various local projects with similar features and played a lead role in coordination with similar bus routes in the cities of Whittier and Norwalk.

4. During Construction Administration
As the pre-construction phase comes to an end, we will begin staffing for construction management and inspection based on the Contractor’s actual schedule of activities and staging of the work. The staffing will parallel the Contractor activities to ensure maximum efficiency in expenditure of the construction management contract with the City. When Project activity increases, we will add additional field staff as necessary. As we have demonstrated in the past, the FCG team is committed to reducing the Project duration, which will result in cost savings to the City. Additionally, we will review and monitor DBE requirements per Caltrans standards to ensure compliance.
a. Contract Administration – FCG has provided project staffing, managing several construction projects using the Caltrans Construction Manual and contract administration procedures their entire careers. As Former Caltrans Engineers, A.B. Fakhouri (PM|RE) and Dan Duarte (CI) will provide the City with a construction management team that has combined 55+ years of public works construction and design experience specifically using Greenbook and Caltrans Standards. b. Meetings - The FCG team will coordinate and conduct weekly progress and field meetings with the Contractor, design team, City, and any others, as needed. Our PM|RE will prepare the meeting agendas, which will include reviews of the Project schedules, a summary of submittals and Requests for Information (RFIs), unresolved issues, and new issues requiring follow- up. Additionally, our PM|RE will produce meeting minutes and distribute to all attendees. c. Submittals - The FCG team will provide the Contractor a list of submittals as per the Special Provisions, then perform a thorough, comprehensive review and approval of the Contractor’s submittals. We will work closely with the City to determine which submittals the design consultant will review, and which will be reviewed by the FCG team. A Submittal Log will be

Page | 7 Proposal to Provide Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services Telegraph Road Traffic Throughput and Safety Enhancements Project, Phase 2; CIP No. 16‐05 developed, maintained, and tracked according to when they are received and returned to the Contractor. A copy of the Submittal Log will be included with each transmittal and discussed at the weekly meetings. Materials releases and certificates of compliance will be kept in the appropriate filing categories, and materials summary sheets will have a running total of materials used on the Project. Anticipated submittals include, but are not limited to, baseline schedule, SWPPP, concrete mix designs, asphalt mix designs, various traffic signal components, and various street lighting components. d. Request for Information - Our PM|RE will coordinate with the Contractor to submit all questions as RFIs. All RFIs will be reviewed and responded to in coordination with the City and the design team to ensure proper protocol is followed and sufficient information is relayed to the Contractor in response to each RFI. The Resident Engineer and Inspector will maintain a log and will provide to all weekly progress meeting attendees.
e. Traffic Management - The FCG team, PM|RE, and field staff will review and check traffic control daily and continuously monitor traffic control measures, ensuring all detour and construction signage is maintained, clean, and clear to the traveling public, including nighttime review for reflection and clarity. Our PM|RE will discuss traffic control plans at each weekly meeting and keep the City and the County informed of any traffic lane closures, ensuring strict compliance with local permit and contract requirements.

5. Project Progress and Payment
The FCG team will work with the City to review the
baseline schedule, look for issues, and make
recommendations to the City as appropriate. Such
recommendations will be based on logic and a
realistic schedule. Our PM|RE will propose
enhancements based on sequence, number of
working days, milestones, and key dates to ensure
development of an efficient and well managed
Project. The team will prepare independent monthly
estimates for the Project duration, monitoring both
the Project and contingency budgets. Our report to
the City will include amount paid to Contractor to
date, amount previously paid to Contractor, percent
complete of each bid item, executed change orders,
and retention withheld from each pay estimate. Our intent is to keep the City fully informed of the financial status of the Project. a. Pay item quantities will be measured daily and documented on daily reports. b. Quantity Sheets will be prepared with each pay estimate, with backup calculations. c. Change orders will be prepared and monitored, costs independently estimated and verified, and work documented daily on a separate daily diary with tentative agreements (if force account (T&M)). d. Our tracking system includes costs, including supplemental work and furnished materials. “The PM|RE will monitor the schedule, beginning with a thorough review of the baseline schedule submittal, and following with a review of the monthly schedule updates in comparison to look-ahead schedules and daily diaries.” e. Schedule Control - The FCG team will produce and analyze schedules from the perspective of an owner and contractor to ensure timely or early completion of the Project. We will ensure Contractor compliance with the requirements of the monthly schedule updates as required in the special provisions and will closely monitor the critical path to avoid delays and subsequent consequences. Our analysis of the Contractor’s schedules will be done on a weekly basis in conjunction with Inspector’s daily diaries, meeting minutes, submittal logs, and other Project records. This schedule analysis approach will provide the City with notice of any potential delays prior to issuance by the Contractor to allow time for appropriate response.

FCG will enforce the scheduling requirements in the Special Provisions, which will be key to placing the City in a positive position in case of claims. It is recommended that the Special Provisions require the Contractor to submit Time Impact Analysis (TIAs), together with costs for any change orders, to include time requirements of when cost proposals are due. f. Budget Control and Tracking - Our PM|RE will prepare and submit a monthly budget report to the City’s management with an accurate status of the Project budget and schedule. This report will contain, but not be limited to, schedule status updates, work operations, submittals, RFI and change order logs, and Project issues.

6. Contract Change Orders and Claims
The FCG team will assist the City in controlling the costs of the Project and the factors that may escalate Project costs. Upon submittal, Contractor’s change requests will be reviewed for merit. We will hold the Contractor to providing the items in the scope of work bid, without generating unnecessary changes to increase the Project cost. The FCG team’s PM|RE will work with the City’s Project Manager to establish levels of financial authority from the Project Manager up the chain of command to provide guidelines for change authorization. FCG will approve as agreed-upon by the City. a. Cost Estimating and Scheduling - All change orders will be estimated independently of the Contractor’s proposed cost prior to approval by our PM|RE and submitted for approval to the City. We will comply with the Caltrans Construction Manual and LAPM. The FCG team is comprised of highly qualified scheduling and claims avoidance experts that will analyze and produce schedules from the perspective of an owner and a Contractor. Our experts will ensure the Contractor is complying with the requirements. Our approach includes, but is not limited to, weekly analysis of schedules, Inspector’s daily diaries, meeting minutes, and Project files to provide the City notice of any potential delays. b. Claims Avoidance and Mitigation - The FCG team’s renowned claims division and our claims experts have a proven track record with Caltrans and other public agencies on similar projects. We will monitor all site records of events, labor, materials, and equipment for potential claims or delay issues. This data will be essential when analyzing a Contractor’s claim. Our team will address every issue that will contain all relevant RFIs, change orders, correspondence, pictures, Inspector’s dairies, cost analysis, and schedule analysis. Our objective will be to minimize misunderstandings by providing clear and concise analysis of all major Project issues.
c. Project Records and Filing System - FCG’s PM|RE and Office Engineer (OE) will establish and maintain a filing system in hard copy as well as electronically, using the Caltrans Construction Manual as a guideline to ensure compliance with FHWA requirements. FCG typically utilizes the Caltrans filing system on all projects. All hard copy files will be scanned as PDF files and stored digitally on a server with a filing structure duplicating the hard copies. Additionally, FCG’s OE will upload the electronic data documentation to the City’s on-line file directory. Submittal and RFI logs will be kept and tracked according to when they are received from and returned to the Contractor together with their approval or response status.

Materials releases and certificates of compliance will be kept in the appropriate Caltrans filing categories, and materials summary sheets will be developed to keep a running total of materials implemented. d. Partnering - The FCG team is a firm believer in partnering and has actively participated in partnering sessions on numerous past projects. We will again accept responsibility for coordinating partnering sessions for the Project team, including planning with the City’s preferred Partnering Facilitator. e. Quality Assurance Program - The FCG team’s extensive Caltrans experience, beginning with the PM|RE, Design Review team, and carrying through our field personnel, will ensure the requirements of the Caltrans Quality Assurance Program Manual are met. Each of our proposed staff for the Project possess years of recent Caltrans construction experience. f. Labor Compliance and Certified Payroll - FCG’s OE will verify Contractor and subcontractor labor compliance during the Project, including non-working days. This includes reviewing certified payroll records for compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and overtime requirements. Our field personnel will perform employee interviews to ensure the actual wages meet the stated wages on the certified payroll. If necessary, we will notify the Contractor of any issues, and follow through until the issues are resolved.

7. Construction Inspection

FCG has carefully reviewed the project documents made available with the RFP package and has developed a staffing plan based on the project schedule, scope of work, and anticipated project needs. Please reference the table of on the following page for our approach to staffing. The team members proposed for this project have been selected based on both their qualifications and availability to perform the work. Our key staff have managed numerous projects like this one and can apply this knowledge and experience to hit the ground running. These individuals have the availability, the qualifications, and in many cases the cross-training for both office and field positions to cost-effectively solve problems at any level. Our team has extensive experience working on public works projects that utilize Greenbook, Caltrans standards and procedures, and Caltrans LAPM.

We provide large business service with a team of multi-disciplined professionals; however, what differentiates our firm from others is having the ability to provide a small business, client-focused, and customer-service approach to deliver each client the one-on- one attention needed to specifically tailor cost-effective solutions and solve unique project needs. FCG staff ensures this by making sure our team is selected based on availability and relevant experience, full understanding of the scope of services, and knowledge of the needs of the stakeholders. We realize our people are our greatest strength and therefore our greatest asset. Our success is based on hiring the best people to produce the highest quality results at the most reasonable price and continues through our internal comprehensive training program that can get inspectors up to speed on any work assignment and in any work environment, concluding with our quality maintenance processes. This training program enables us to propose cross-trained staff that can cover multiple disciplines of the work, i.e., structures and roadway, electrical and landscape, etc. Cross-trained staff are key to efficiently budgeting for our services and providing clients with competitive fees.

Subject: SOQ to Provide On-Call Public Works Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services - No. 24-02 FY 2024-2027 Dear Mr. Baumgardner,
GK & Associates has been your consultant for as-needed Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing services for the past thirteen years. Through this involvement we have not only gained invaluable knowledge of your needs and expectations, we have direct working experience with the processes and systems that are successfully being used on your existing construction projects. As you look for the firm to assist you with the similar set of services during the next three years, we are confident you will be best served by the firm you already have: GK & Associates.
■Experienced experts with technical expertise - Our experienced team, led by Daryl Lopez and supported by our staff, will remain dedicated to your ongoing and upcoming projects. With Daryl’s extensive experience, along with our team’s expertise, we ensure seamless continuity and the ability to anticipate and address project design issues proactively, as previously demonstrated. ■Continuity - Our established relationship and trust are invaluable investments. This means savings for Downey by avoiding the need to orientate and train a new firm to your organization, culture, and systems. Our commitment to continuity is evident in the 40% of our personnel already engaged in your ongoing projects, including CIP 24-01 Miscellaneous Concrete Repair, ADA/Fire station No. 1 concrete repairs project, Paramount Blvd & Median Landscape Improvements, and 3rd Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project to name a few. ■Cost savings - Our staff have identified issues on almost every project in the design phase that would have cost Downey money and time had they gone out to bid without our review.

The nature of this assignment calls for flexibility, bench strength, and quick response in addressing your staffing needs as you need to fill them. We have proposed highly qualified, locally based, construction managers, supported by experienced construction inspectors. As President of GK & Associates, I will continue to be the main point of contact for all project staff related inquiries through the life of the Services Agreement, and can be contacted at the below referenced email or directly on my mobile at (909) 964-9932.

Thank you for providing us the opportunity to continue to serve you.

Sincerely,

Services
We offer top-notch project management tailored
to Greater Los Angeles cities and agencies
exclusively, adhering to industry standards like the
Public Contract Code, “the green book,” CALTRANS
Standard Specifications, Uniform Building Code,
ADA, and local regulations. From initial design to
construction, we’ve got it covered.

Project Management - Time & Resources
Every single project at GK & Associates starts
with a detailed Project Management Plan (PMP).

Among others, major components of the PMP
include project schedule, task by task budgets,
manpower assignments, project coordination and
communication procedures, sub consultant roles
and responsibilities, project filing/documentation
procedures, QA/QC requirements, and a risk
register, which identifies potential risks, risk
triggers, and mitigation measures. For construction
projects, templates for daily reports and weekly
project meeting agendas are also included. We
utilize VPM (Virtual Project Manager) for
construction projects for clients, which is
a web-based platform for monitoring
schedules (Microsoft Office or Primavera
P6), budgets, and earned revenue
reporting. It can also interface
with daily reports, progress
photographs and other
construction information. In
addition, we are currently using
Procore, Microsoft Project, CIPO,
Dropbox, Primavera P6, VPM, and
several other programs based on each
client’s preferences. This information can
be made available electronically to all stake
holders.

The planning in our PMP aims to ensure we
have enough time and resources to meet project
deadlines. If risks related to resources or schedules
are identified in the risk register, we clearly outline measures to mitigate them. Drawing from our
experience with staffing for the City of Downey,
we’re committed to meeting project demands
outlined in our approach. We’ve assessed our
workload and resources to ensure no conflicts
will divert staff from this project. GK holds active
certifications including WBE, MBE, SBE, SB, CBE,
with Caltrans, Metro, City of Los Angeles, and
various others.

Project 2 - Inland Empire Utilities
Agency
GK & Associates currently provides IEUA
construction management services and has been
providing the Agency for over sixteen years. Our
staff provides a full range of services including
contract administration, document tracking,
monitoring and inspection of daily activities,
coordination with design consultants on major re-
design, change order tracking and negotiations,
dispute resolutions, schedule monitoring, multi-
agency coordination, review of payment requests,
To specifically appoint one project we have
included the award winning Recycling Plant No.5
Battery Storage Project. This energy storage
system was designed to allow IEUA to store excess
energy from all onsite renewable energy systems
and utilize that stored energy when needed most
to peak shave. With energy cost always changing,
the battery system is able to utilize excess stored
energy at night when solar systems are offline. The
system consists of 500kw Lithium Ion batteries,
two inverters, two Net generation meters, 4 AMS
site meters, 12KV setup up transformer and one
PME switch for the point of common coupling.

With RP 5 having existing renewable systems
consisting of two bio diesel Cogeneration engines
(total 3 megawatt) 1 megawatt of solar and now
500kw of battery storage it, was a first of its
kind project. The battery system is able to use
proprietary algorithm software to learn exactly
when to disperse stored energy for maximum
cost savings for the Agency. The batteries also act
as a buffer for over producing renewable energy
to help mitigate non-export tariff violations by
absorbing and storing excess energy produced
by solar, Co Gen engines, wind turbines etc. GK
provided electrical inspection services along with
four other battery and solar projects at IEUA.

To whom it may concern,

GK & Associates, for more than 20 years have provided construction management and inspection services to five municipalities that I have served. These included providing construction management and inspection services on capital improvement and development projects in the Cities of La Habra, Norwalk, Brea, West Covina and Downey. More recently, GK & Associates has provided inspection and materials testing services on some of Downey’s major projects, including:

• Citywide Residential Streets Rehabilitation Project (several project areas) • Citywide Miscellaneous Sidewalks and Concrete Repairs (several project areas) • New Traffic Signals at Paramount Boulevard and De Palma Avenue and Fire Station No. 1 As Public Works Director/City Engineer, I personally oversaw and supervised the projects that GK & Associates managed and inspected in the City of Downey. GK & Associates has always provided exceptional service and performance on these projects. They have consistently ensured that all the projects were completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and that there were no cost overruns. GK & Associates’ construction managers and inspectors were always on top of the projects and made sure that all change orders were justified and well documented. In addition, their staff have been very responsive not only to requests from City staff, but also to residents in addressing their concerns and complaints. Finally, they made sure that all the projects were completed on schedule and within budget.

The City of Downey was very pleased and satisfied with the services provided by GK & Associates and would highly recommend them on future projects not only in Downey, but other cities as well.

Onward Engineering (OE) is delighted to present this comprehensive proposal to provide FY2024-2027 On-Call Public Works construction management, inspection and materials testing services for the City of Downey, for the RFQ NO. 24-02. We deeply appreciate the vital role that public works play in our communities, and we stand ready to offer our expertise in support of your esteemed department. Our team has provided similar services on projects throughout Southern California. OE is invested in the future of the communities we serve. We care about the projects we build. Our goal is to design smarter and build better. This means humanizing and understanding the goals for each project and then advocating in the City’s interest to achieve those goals. We view this opportunity to work with the City of Downey as a potential partnership, whereby we serve the City to improve the City’s infrastructure and leave a positive impact on the community.

Organization and safety are some of our chief priorities when handling Construction Management and Inspection projects. These two issues entail a human element which is not easily read by looking at the plans. OE understands that behind every project are the people involved, and few firms prioritize this philosophy as much as OE does.

Additionally, maintaining a positive public perception is another priority that is paramount to the success of any project. In regards to organization and public perception, we have applied multiple mediums which we use to distribute project information and we leverage them in providing communication, transparency and organization.

This allows stakeholders to understand the project, check on the status of construction and enjoy continual updates, and to communicate relevant information or concerns. These platforms include OE’s real-time project maps, an informative online web page, enhanced methods for public notification along with communication such as a customized project hotline. All this results in the public being informed, thereby developing a positive perception of those behind the project affecting them.

Our team includes Delfino “Chino” Consunji as the On-Call construction Manager, a former City of Downey Public Works Director who understands the City’s expectations and needs. His team includes Michael Nguyen and Timothy Stanley as the inspectors and a deep bench of additional inspectors the City can utilize if needed.

In closing, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the City of Downey for considering OE as your partner in advancing the City’s infrastructure. Onward Engineering attest that all information submitted with the proposal is true and correct. For any inquiries or the need for additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at: (714) 533-3050, or by email at: [email protected]. We genuinely appreciate the privilege of the opportunity to serve the City of Downey and eagerly await the prospect of contributing to the success of your projects.

Thank you,

FIRM PRINcIPAL AGeNt
We have invested in advanced tools that streamline internal and City communications. Microsoft Teams serves as our efficient platform for project progress updates, while Box Enterprise grants the City real-time access to review project documents. OE will utilize ORANGe VeSt© for construction reporting on this project. ORANGe VeSt© is our proprietary construction tool, which allows us to document work in real time, and have those quantities, materials, labor, and equipment automatically update Quantity Sheets, Earned Value Charts, Cost Over Time Charts, Quantity Over Time Charts, and Percent Complete Over Time Charts. It also allows us to proactively monitor bid items that are nearing 75% complete and keep track of any overages. The Orange Vest Application also allows us to generate Field Notifications, manage Punch-Lists, automatically generate Weekly Statement of Working Day reports, and manage Potential Change Orders, Unit Price Change Orders, and Contract Change Orders. Those reports will be available to the City’s Project Manager as PDF reports in Box. OE is also familiar and can use other software such as Procore (which we know the City is familiar with but is a bit nonintuitive to use) and VPM.

Our experience is primarily on street, alley, and roadway improvements, including grind and overlay, reconstruction, maintenance (slurry and crack sealing), widening, beautification, traffic improvements, and pedestrian accessibility improvements. Our experience also extends to water, sewer, storm drain, and park improvement projects, as well as water main utilities check and relocation, drainage and sewer maintenance and reconstruction.

Majdi Ataya, Principal-In-Charge of Onward Engineering, is a seasoned Professional Engineer with over 43 years of solid experience in the public works sector. As a former Deputy Director and City Engineer for the City of La Habra and La Habra Heights. Majdi brings invaluable expertise to every public works project. He is known for his outstanding communication, adaptability, and enthusiasm for each project. Majdi is committed to making sure that OE can be a dependable extension of your staff, We have named Delfino “Chino” Consunji as the proposed On-Call Construction Manager, with a team of additional CMs on standby if needed. As for Inspection, we have named Michael Nguyen as the inspector assigned to the Capital Improvements Section and Joe Zamarripa as the inspector assigned to the Office Engineering Section as a Public Works Permit Inspector. We also have a deep bench of inspectors available to handle increased workloads.

The hourly rates above are our fee schedule. Any additional work will be negotiated utilizing those hourly rates.

Costs include office overhead and are fully burdened and include all reimbursable expenses. Inspector mileage only around the jobsite will be billed at the IRS rate.

Our multiplier depends on the position and person. However, all of our inspectors are paid prevailing wage rates which are currently around $83 and set to increase. Our multiplier for inspection is 1.75 which gets us to $145/hour. For CM it depends on the person, but our average multiplier is 1.55.
*OE pays all Construction Inspectors prevailing wage rates in compliance with the requirements set forth by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) State prevailing wages under Labor Code § 1770 et seq. Labor Code §§ 1775 and 1777.7 along with the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) under the standards of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding as administered by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department. **Hourly rate schedule is part of Onward Engineering’s quote for use in invoicing for progress payments and for extra work incurred that is not part of this RFP.

OE provides CM and Inspection services based on the project schedule at the hourly rates above. We do not bill for time not spent. We do not propose utilizing a sliding fee or percentage of construction cost. The rates above will be utilized for the duration of this project and will remain in effect for at least 2 years, after which, OE will access and make a request for increases based on the CPI. We understand that these requests will need to be made in writing 60 days before June 30th of each year and will keep that in mind. 300 S. Harbor Blvd., Suite 814

Aragon Geotechnical Inc. (AGI) completed preliminary geotechnical and geological assessments for the 15719 & 15755 Arrow Route Industrial Project. AGI prepared a report detailing the findings, opinions, and recommendations developed as a result of surface inspections, subsurface exploration and field tests, laboratory testing, and quantitative analyses.

The project scope included an infiltration feasibility study for stormwater BMPs, and a second site suitability investigation for on-site wastewater disposal given the lack of municipal sanitary sewer service. Data and recommendations from these studies were issued under separate cover. All geotechnical services have excluded environmental research and materials testing for contaminants in soil, groundwater, or air at the site. Nine exploratory borings were drilled within the proposed construction area to characterize local soil units. Two primary native-soil units were distinguished: (1) Distinctly yellowish brown silty fine-grained sand that forms a looser surface layer about 2 to 6 feet thick; and (2) Brown- colored, massive to crudely stratified, near-cohesionless and well-graded sand with silt, gravelly sand, and sandy gravel found site-wide below the surface layer. The silty sand unit thickens toward the southeast corner. AGI interpreted the bulk of the near-surface zone to represent wind-blown sediments deposited as low dunes and sand sheets. The deeper and much denser sediments were typical of young braided-stream alluvium and sheet flood deposits. on-CALL engIneeRIng SeRvICeS, bANNING

The project presented unique challenges in coordinating traffic control, work hours, and minimizing the impact to Meadows Elementary School. Portions with deficient fire flow capacity were selected based on pipe size and locations containing severe operations and maintenance issues in order to resolve fire flow and residual pressure, and to minimize potential for negative impacts to public health, the environment, and the number of residents impacted by main breaks, and allowing for more isolated main shutdown during emergency repairs. This project had a 220 working day schedule. •Reference: Tim Birthisel, PE, Senior Civil Engineer | (310) 802-5368 | [email protected] | 3621 Bell Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA. 90266 •Date of the project: 2021 •Status of the project: Current N ORWALK LoCAL StReetS RehAbiLitAtion PhASe I (ConCRete IMPRoveMentS) zone 3 CM:

OE utilizes a set of technology-based project controls to manage the costs, schedules, and documents, thereby advancing project progress. The following sections demonstrate our ability and competence in delivering our engineering services to the City while maintaining document, schedule, and cost control. dOCuMeNt CONtrOl
OE operates on a HIPAA Certified, enterprise grade, cloud filing system that will be used on all documents and folders to ensure proper documentation and transparency. We map all of the City’s standards, folder structure, templates and document formats and store it on our cloud-based ENTERPRISE account for implementation.

This cloud-based account allows for secure, remote access and review of our entire filing system by City staff, to ensure that documentation and filing is done in compliance with the project requirements. Each City staff member attached to the project will be able to select a password which provides access to view, upload, or download any of the project files (PS&E/Schedule/Utility Logs/Field Observations/Daily Reports/Photo Diaries, etc.) without having to change the City’s existing IT framework. This document control system is also compliant with Caltrans’ LAPM filing requirements. Additionally, this flexibility allows the City staff access to the project files anywhere and on any device, as well as provide access to select files (like photos) to other collaborators. sChedule CONtrOls
OE will provide all necessary coordination hours required to ensure that the project remains on schedule. We believe that management requires proactive management in order to address issues before becoming a critical item and to avoid delays and problems. To keep projects efficient, on track, and to maintain transparency, our investment in scheduling tools include Microsoft Project MICROSOFT PROJECT and Microsoft Primavera (P6) MICROSOFT PRIMAVERA along with course work training and execution participation by our in-house staff. When OE is awarded a contract, our team updates the schedule with the Notice to Proceed date. This is then imported into our proprietary solution “Onward Collab” which the City will then have full access to. From there, OE can seamlessly document and assign tasks and subtasks.

The result is that the details and the progress of the project would be available at all times to be tracked by the City and by our QA/QC team in real-time. Project Managers are then enabled to assess the workload of every team member at any given time, so that immediate adjustments can be made to the project. The City would then have immediate access to all change details. This system also allows for back and forth dialogue regarding a specific task or subtask and can be centralized and reviewed at any point. Another view that can be utilized is the Board View involving buckets of tasks representing a team member.

PUbLiC oUtReACh
Having a plan for minimizing interruption, garnering public support, and maintaining a positive public perception throughout construction is critical to the overall success of a project. As such, we place an emphasis on public outreach and the dissemination of project information to affected stakeholders. We inform the public because it translates to less complaints, safer construction sites, and a smooth construction schedule.

PubliC NOtiCes
OE produces, supplies, posts, distributes and updates all public notices (PDFs) that provide pertinent project information and updates to effected residents, which we will prepare for the Contractor on behalf of the City and distribute to the residents.These notices are a great way for residents to be made aware of the project, to actually read the notices, and to follow any driving or parking restrictions. iNfOrMAtive web PAges
OE offers informative web pages, hosted on a separate sub-domain linked directly to the City’s website. This allows OE to directly produce and update all public notices (PDFs), project information and updates, and dynamic maps without requiring City time and resources through the process. The website will also include enhanced public notices which we will prepare for the Contractor on behalf of the City. These notices are a great way for residents to be made aware of the project, to actually read the notices, and to follow any driving or parking restrictions.

The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate
the distressed asphalt pavement and concrete throughout the project limits. In doing so, we hope to improve neighborhood connectivity and livability; and to enhance the
comfort, safety and aesthetics of the residents and business owners throughout the neighborhood.

The project may require a temporary closure of
certain sections of the street and limited access during construction hours.

OE The City will be provided with a telephone hotline as the contact number for the duration of the project life cycle. Call logs with caller information, time of call, and voice-mail can easily be tracked, generated and saved.

Upon setup, callers are greeted by a brief pre-recorded introduction, after which a vocalized menu will offer helpful project information (ie. street closures, parking restrictions and schedule changes) with the option to be routed to a task specific staff member. This system is customizable, and it works even if phases are handled by different consultants, where the contact person can be changed throughout the course of a project. This means less headaches for the City, and it provides peace of mind to the community, knowing the option to voice their concerns and obtain information is a phone call away. iNterACtive web MAPs

Any affected stakeholders can access our maps online for updates on detours, phasing, temporary parking, street closures, and general project limit information. OE would manage and update the site and content in real-time in accordance with City requirements. This in-turn provides the City with convenient, easy-to-access content for oversite and to disseminate valuable information.

oRAnge veSt APPLiCAtion
ORANGe VeSt © is a proprietary tool (web application and iOS application) which streamlines and organizes construction documents, built with the inspection team in mind. Orange Vest allows the CM and Inspector to document work in real-time, and to have field quantities, materials, labor, and equipment automatically update Quantity Sheets, Earned Value Charts, Cost Over Time Charts, Quantity Over Time Charts, and Percent Complete Over Time Charts. It also allows the team to proactively monitor bid items that are nearing 75% complete and keep track of any overages.

The ORANGe VeSt © application allows users to generate Field Notifications (Incident Reports), manage Punch-Lists, automatically generate Weekly Statement of Working Day reports, manage Potential Change Orders, Unit Price Change Orders, and Contract Change Orders. On the Construction Management side, it allows users to review and approve/reject submittals and respond to RFIs.

The value of this tool is unprecedented. It took our team over 4 years to develop, and it includes input from former County, District, and Public Works Professionals and Supervising Inspectors.

The following showcases further details, features and usages of this tool:

RfI MoDULe
Requests for information (RFI) –Throughout all phases of a project, questions come up. In the past, the questions would be fragmented across platforms. Some via email, some hard copy, some scanned, some via text, some over the phone. The RFI module allows you to centralize these requests and to respond to them directly. A user can submit an RFI, either as a user of the app or via a public link for each project. They also mark that RFI as Normal, Expedited, or Critical. They can also attach a PDF to that RFI if needed. Once it is submitted, the Construction and Project Manager is notified via email that an RFI has been submitted, they can respond right away, and the response will be sent directly to the original party that submitted the RFI. The system will also prioritize alerts to the PM/CM so that they address expedited and critical RFIs first. Anytime a change is made to an RFI, the program automatically makes a PDF that includes the RFI information, when an answer is added, that PDF is updated to include the answer. The system also auto-generates a PDF log of the RFIs.

SUbMIttAL MoDULe
The Submittal Module allows Contractors to submit documentation for the materials and processes that they plan to use during construction. Our Submittal Module allows the Contractor to send in the PDF (via our app or public link). The Contractor can submit that document as a new submittal or as a follow up to a previous submittal (re-submittal). The PM/CM is then notified that Firm Management and Organization
Onward Engineering | Design Smarter. Build Better.| 17Request for Statement of Qualifications, for the City of Downey, On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

a Submittal is posted for their review. The PM/CM can click the stamp icon and then start marking that pdf up digitally with a full suite of markup tools. When done, the PM/CM selects a status for that Submittal (Approved-No Exceptions Taken, Approved- Make Corrections Noted, Rejected, Rejected-Revise & Resubmit, Rejected-Submit Specified Item). Then a cover page is auto- generated for that marked up document, which includes an entire tracking history for that Submittal as well as a digital stamp with signature. The system also auto-generates a PDF log of Submittals (both pending and reviewed).

LiSt of feAtUReS
View project dashboard, prepare comprehensive daily reports, automatically generate weekly statement of working days, view product quantities to approve progress payments, prepare change order leveraged by real team data, access project files, sign and countersign reports, file field notifications and incident reports, submit and review construction submittals, prepare and respond to requests for information, and more.

Firm Management and Organization

DAShboARD At A gLAnCe
The project dashboard gives you a quick look at the project’s progress, so you know at a glance how many days are remaining, whether or not any daily reports are missing or incomplete, how much time has elapsed, the estimated earned value (automatically updated with each published daily report), the weather forecast that includes an hour-by-hour breakdown, and charting tools to dive deeper on the project’s numbers.

DAS hboARD : In-De P th
The project dashboard has three charts currently available: cost over time, which can be viewed for the project as a whole, or specifically for up to 3 bid items at a time; the quantity over time chart, showing both the cumulative & the day/week/month totals for the project as a whole or as individual bid items; the percent complete over time chart, which can be viewed for the project or for individual bid items (up to 3 at a time).

Firm Management and Organization
| 19Request for Statement of Qualifications, for the City of Downey, On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

DAiLy RePoRting
The daily report is the brains of the application. We built our app with the inspector in mind, as the inspector is the eyes and ears of the project. The daily report dashboard gives the inspector his daily information at a glance. The top bar allows the inspector to jump into work performed (to track labor, equipment, and quantities completed), PCO (potential change orders), notes, tickets, punch list, and weekly recap.
biD iteMizAtion
Adding a bid item is easy, and it takes all the guess work out of it. No more typos or inaccurate bid items. These are pulled directly from the bid sheet which is uploaded to the system as a CSV file (or manually input). Once a bid item is in, you are ready to add labor and equipment hours to it, or to add quantities performed that day.

Firm Management and Organization
| 20Request for Statement of Qualifications, for the City of Downey, On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

PRojeCt CLASSifiCAtionS
Once you add a bid item, assigning labor and equipment is a breeze. Just select the classification, and the system will filter only the personnel and equipment that fit that classification. You only need to type out the name and description once, and it is available throughout the project. If you prefer to put the name and description first, you can do that and the system will show you a list of classifications assigned to that person and equipment. noteS
Notes are easy to input. They can be formatted & rearranged. You can use voice text to dictate your notes when you are in a rush. Then you can edit those notes later if needed. You can also assign notes specifically to a bid item, or you can type them out as general notes.

Firm Management and Organization
| 21Request for Statement of Qualifications, for the City of Downey, On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

PhotoS MAnAgeMent
Photos can be easily snapped from within the app, or uploaded from the photo library. Add photos, caption them, and rearrange to tell a visual story. No more fumbling to format or organize photos. Let ORANGe VeSt © do it for you. Also, the system captures as many photos as you take. You can take 30 photos and only include 8 in the daily report, and the 22 that are not included will automatically be saved as separate image files.

QUAntity MoDULe
The quantity module shows you the quantities for any period of time. You can view the quantities for the “prior period”, “to date:”, or “remaining”. Tapping the bid item provides a drop-down menu showing the breakdown of that bid item.

Our CMs & Inspectors will review the contractor’s weekly and daily schedules before work begins each day and closely coordinate with the Contractor to establish an understanding of the critical activities and work to be inspected.

Identify opportunities in a timely fashion so impacts to cost, schedule, quantities, and performance are realized and minimized or avoided. The primary focus is early identification of opportunities or potential risks, then finding alternative solutions to quickly implement corrective actions.

Implement tools and documents for control to support the process of Change Management and the preparation/review of change orders for District approval. The Change Management Control is used for early warning and approval control of deviations in engineering cost, cost of material and equipment, and construction during all phases.

Reports will be kept in tracking submittals, tests performed, samples taken, non -compliance reports, and inspection/testing associated with non-compliant work.

Provide construction teams with the control tools and documents to accurately estimate, plan, and monitor work to meet the project’s cost, schedule, quantities, and performance.

Facilitate communications to provide the District with the long-term visibility necessary to make proactive & informed decisions.

We’ll provide quality assurance and inspections to verify work is accurate and in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

We’ll monitor the contractor’s Quality Control Program.

During our many years of Construction Management and Inspection experience, we’ve come to understand that success comes through a solid QA/QC plan, implemented at the onset of a project. OE implements protocol from a detailed QA/QC manual that defines roles, responsibilities, expectations, review requirements, and quality standards of all documents and procedures within the firm’s organization.

Our team brings considerable experience with keeping projects on track - experience gained on many public works construction projects in Southern California.

We believe it is imperative that we have a full understanding of the timeline of each project, from beginning to end. We can personally build CPM schedules and handle the monthly updates with the responsible agencies.

Our Construction Managers will hold meetings with the contractor to discuss the status of the schedule and identify any potential roadblocks or challenges. They will review each monthly update promptly and provide comments or acceptance after receipt of the submittal from the Contractor.

We make a point, at the start of every project, to specifically tailor the QA/QC program and work plan to the specific project needs. OE’s team approach to project controls is to achieve estimating, cost control, and scheduling objectives through conscious planning and execution of the work, and through the continuous monitoring of cost, schedule, quantities, and performance. cONStRuctION MANAGeMeNt qA & qc

UNDERSTANDING
Southstar understands that the City of Downey (City) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from
interested Civil Engineering Consulting firms to provide “On- Call” Public Works construction management, inspection
and materials testing services for a three-year period, with optional three additional one-year periods, for small to large size projects and tasks.

The City is soliciting the services of a consultant which shall provide at least one on-call construction manager, at least two on-call inspectors and materials testing services to function in two separate sections of the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. Southstar has a pool of experienced Construction Managers and Inspectors that can step in to lead any assigned project, but to ensure a consistent point of contact, Ms. Yvette Kirrin will serve as the Principal-in-Charge. Ms. Kirrin will meet with the City to discuss staffing needs for each task order or project and propose a list of suitable staff members for each task and allow the City to select their preferred candidates. All our staff members will be made available for in-person
interviews prior to selection if the City prefers.

We understand that the process does not guarantee
contracts with the City but will result in a “pre-qualified” list of firms that may be utilized for future projects or tasks and that proposals for individual projects or tasks will be solicited on a project-by-project basis through an RFP process
from those firms which are deemed “pre-qualified”. The
approved list of consultants will remain valid through June 30, 2026, subject to the three individual one-year extensions at the City’s discretion.

Southstar is prepared to provide construction management, inspection, materials testing, public outreach and labor compliance services as outlined in the Scope of Services section of the RFP. These services will be under the direction of the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.

We have reviewed the Capital Project section of the City’s FY 2023-2024 CIP listed on the City’s website and understand that it appropriates $98,317,000 for street, sewer, light, storm water, water, traffic and public facility improvements. These Capital improvements are required to maintain the City’s physical infrastructure. Southstar understands that even though the Proposed CIP addresses primary infrastructure needs, a significant infrastructure maintenance backlog may remain and Southstar is prepared to provide services to address this issue as well. Southstar can help the City target resources toward their most important need and seek all possible avenues to secure federal, State, and regional funding to supplement available City funding.

Southstar will provide constructability review of 65%, 95% and 100% design PS&E submittals.

VALUE ENGINEERING
Southstar employs Value Engineering (VE) throughout
the project lifecycle to enhance cost-effectiveness and maintain structural integrity. This approach minimizes costs and reduces waste by providing a clear project overview, facilitating the elimination of redundancies, and ensuring optimal material allocation.

ENGINEERING ESTIMATES

prevent project delays due to underestimation or inefficient fund allocation, and to track project budget and activities.

PROJECT COORDINATION

STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATION
Effective communication with Project stakeholders,
including local residents, businesses, utility owners, and agencies, is crucial. A project-specific Public Outreach plan developed by Vanessa will ensure transparent
communication. Additionally, our team will create a project- specific communication plan for stakeholders and the City.

MASTER PROJECT SCHEDULE
Southstar’s Resident Engineer (RE) scrutinizes the
contractor’s baseline schedule for practicality and
comprehensiveness. Monthly schedule updates are closely monitored, and a 3-week look-ahead schedule is used to
manage project progress efficiently. A parallel (as-built) schedule is maintained, and Time Impact Analysis (TIA) is conducted when required.

CONTRACT BIDDING SUPPORT
Southstar administers and advertises construction bids, prepares for pre-bid meetings, manages inquiries, and
coordinates responses with the City’s Design Consultant.

REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF BIDS
Southstar assists the City in reviewing and evaluating
bids, ensuring compliance with contract terms, and
recommending successful low bidders. Notice of Award,
Agreements, and Purchase Orders are processed.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Southstar utilizes effective project control tools and
procedures, closely collaborating with the contractor and City staff to ensure compliance with contract documents, efficient payment processes, and timely issue resolution.

Proposed modifications or deviations are reviewed and
addressed promptly.

SCHEDULE CONTROL
Schedule control encompasses baseline construction
schedule submission, approval, and updates. Discrepancies between planned and actual activities will be addressed.

Weekly 2-4-week look-ahead schedules will aid inspection and off-site planning. We closely monitor procurement of long lead materials and alert the City to any construction changes that might impact schedules or costs.

MONTHLY ACTIVITY SUMMARY REPORT
The Southstar Inspector will provide monthly project
status reports. These reports will cover budget, schedule, accomplishments, submittals, change orders, and current and anticipated work progress.

We will process and track project files at the job site using the agency’s filing system. We can use the Caltrans Uniform Filing System which includes up to 63 potential categories, depending on the need and complexity of the project.

CHANGE ORDERS
Change Orders can be requested by the Contractor due
to field conflicts or initiated by the City for scope changes.

Our team assesses merit, scope, estimated cost, and
schedule impacts, providing City recommendations. We also negotiate change orders if required due to scope changes by the City. We aim to avoid unnecessary change orders and consult with the City when necessary. Payment for change orders follows a clear process.

COST CONTROL SYSTEM
Detecting and addressing construction issues early is the responsibility of all team members, especially field inspectors.

Monthly progress payments are prepared for City review, covering work completed by the Contractor. Change order administration is essential for cost and schedule control. We excel in resolving issues at the lowest level and maintaining detailed project documentation to mitigate claims.

CLAIMS
Our team focuses on strong communication and relationships to minimize the need for contractor claims. In unavoidable cases, we access expert resources to minimize impacts.

REVIEW TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS
We review Contractor-submitted traffic control plans for safety and access. Recommendations are discussed with
the City before sharing with the Contractor. Ongoing
monitoring ensures compliance.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
We review and approve the Contractor’s schedule, utilizing software tools. Monthly reviews against the baseline
schedule help identify and mitigate potential delays.

DOCUMENT CONTROL
We follow a compliant filing and document control system, documenting all communication and maintaining compliance with Caltrans and City requirements.

SITE SAFETY
Nothing is more important than the safety of the
construction team and the general public. We ensure safety compliance through plan review, monitoring, and reporting of deficiencies. Weekly safety meetings are conducted.

CONSTRUCTION

DAILY REPORTS
The Southstar Inspector provides daily diaries of
construction progress in Caltrans format from the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. These reports cover material quantities, construction progress photos, daily issues, accomplishments, project budget and schedule
status, and other relevant details.

CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND INSPECTION
Field Inspectors play a vital role in quality control on construction projects, ensuring contractor compliance with plans and specifications. Proper documentation is essential for accurate measurement and payment records. Our team
consists of seasoned construction management and inspection personnel with extensive experience in various project types.

Our inspectors offer cross-training in building and facility improvements, electrical and lighting enhancements,
landscaping, sewage, storm drainage, and traffic signal improvements. They have conducted inspection services for storm drain and pipeline relocation, street improvements, roadway widening, striping, traffic control, utility protection, and concrete work. They are well-versed in Caltrans Standard Specifications, Caltrans Standard Plans, the “Greenbook,” CalOSHA, and traffic control practices as specified in the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH).

Inspectors ensure the presence of appropriate agencies
(City, environmental, and local) as required and promptly notify the City of any directives, recommendations, or
notices from other agencies. In the field, the Southstar team diligently safeguards the City against defects
and deficiencies in the contractor’s work. Inspection
Responsibilities of the construction inspectors include, but are not limited to:
–Performing daily on-site observations of the progress
and quality of construction to determine if work being
performed is in general conformance with contract
documents, all applicable laws, codes, and ordinances.
–Identifying actual and potential problems associated with Project and recommending sound engineering solutions
–Reviewing plans, specification, and other contract and construction-related documents. Inspectors will intimately study these documents along with traffic control
plans, construction schedules, sequences, and permit
requirements. Understanding all the details of these
resources will guide the inspectors when ensuring the
contractor’s compliance.
–Maintain photographs of the pre-construction,
construction, and the post-construction phases.
–Attend pre-construction meetings, weekly and monthly (if necessary) meetings, and discuss any concerns that may
lead to budget or scheduling issues. Inspectors will create and submit a “Weekly Statement of Calendar/Working
Days” as requested by the City.
–Coordinate with Contractor to discuss plans, specs, and regulations to ensure the contractor compliance.
–Provide inspections to ensure encroachment permittees
about non-compliance and correct compliance problems
as they arise. Inspector will then notify the encroachment permittees when these problems arise.
–The field inspector’s daily diaries will contain full
documentation and photographs of the work
performed. Consistent and accurate written and photo
documentation of all field activities is of paramount
importance in protecting the agency against contractor
claims and costly contract change orders. Per the City’s request, the daily diaries will include site and weather conditions; traffic control measures taken by contractors; labor, equipment and materials used; quantity of work
performed; and major incidents/safety violations.
–Consistently review construction progress schedules
to verify the project is on track and within budget. The inspectors will notify the Contractor should any deviations occur, and they will formulate a plan to bring the project back on track.
–Monitoring the contractor’s daily work for safety, quality, public convenience, and compliance with contract
documents.
–Coordination with the Materials Testing unit to review soil compaction and materials testing certifications of compliance. The Inspector will also coordinate with the City’s Acceptance Testing and Independent Assurance
Program firms to ensure the quality of work once

Southstar will coordinate with our Materials Testing
subconsultant, Ninyo & Moore, to provide quality assurance material sampling and testing services to support the
project as needed. Ninyo & Moore will utilize the project management style and approach that we have successfully developed for the past and current on-call contracts with public agencies. Throughout the contract duration, our
proposed project manager and single point of contact for the City and/or Client, will meet with the representative(s) of the City and/or Client to discuss task order assignments and the anticipated services required for those projects. Upon notification of a task order request, we will commence our services. Our approach to on-call geotechnical, inspection and testing services is described below:

DEVELOP SCOPE OF WORK
The initial step in our approach is to meet with the City Project manager in order to get clear understanding of
the project and our expected services. We will review the approved plans and specifications and will develop a detailed scope of services indicating anticipated man-hours by
discipline for the required materials testing and inspection services. We will submit this plan to the City Project
Manager for approval.

PROJECT PERSONNEL UTILIZATION
Upon approval of our scope of work, we will assign the
appropriately certified personnel to the project based on the specific needs of the project. We will also review the contractor’s schedule in order to plan accordingly and
anticipate the future inspections and testing requests.

SAMPLING PROTOCOL AND DOCUMENT CONTROL
We will next establish the sampling protocols required
for the project, based on the project specifications and the requirements of the City Building Code, and other
governing specifications. Our document control system
provides unique identification of daily reports and laboratory conformance testing for each project assignment. These
systems are a part of our Quality Systems Program and will be utilized for each task order assignment.

ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION LINES
The next step in our approach is to establish the
communication lines for the project, including the authorized city representative who will be requesting our services.

We will also request the approved distribution list for our inspection reports, daily field reports, and laboratory conformance test results. On some of the past projects, the City Project Managers have coordinated our services in the field and distributed our reports. On some other past projects, we had been scheduled by the on-site
Southstar Engineering &
Consulting, Inc. has provided
construction management and
public outreach services to the
City of Palm Desert for three
high-profile community projects
since 2019. The Southstar
team we have worked with are
professional, and they make
us feel like their number one
client.

Southstar | DCCM | Response to City of Downey, RFQ No. 24-02 | March 15, 2024 18 City Inspectors and we had distributed our reports to the approved distribution list. We will provide our services to meet the City’s need. Often we will attend the pre-
construction meeting with the contractor and will obtain from the City the approved distribution list for our materials testing and inspection reports as well as our laboratory conformance testing results. We will also provide the city representatives our personnel’s Nextel direct connect
numbers as well as the mobile telephone numbers, and
e-mail addresses for communication during the project. We will also establish the communication lines between the City Project Manager, City Inspector, and the contractors’ and sub-contractors’ representatives.

UTILIZE OUR PROJECT CONTROLS
Ninyo & Moore utilizes an internal project control system that includes budget, schedule, and document review
and control. Our project manager will utilize our in-house system to keep the City Project Manager informed about
the status of our services. We include monthly progress reports indicating the amount billed to date along with a comparison to the overall task order budget and the over all construction schedule. Our quality control includes review of our laboratory conformance test results by a California licensed engineer.

PERFORM FIELD AND LABORATORY TESTING
When construction commences, we will provide the
necessary personnel and equipment to inspect and
test the construction materials quality and contractor’s construction methods in order to document conformance
to the project plans and specifications. We will also
sample the construction materials as required and perform laboratory conformance tests as specified. The results
of our inspections and tests will be forwarded to the City representatives at the end of each working day. Immediate notification will be provided via phone, e-mail, and/or fax if we find non-conformance in materials or workmanship.

FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS
We will perform our materials testing services in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure Manual
(LAPM). We will utilize Caltrans certified personnel and Caltrans certified testing equipment. Our laboratory testing will be performed in our Caltrans certified laboratory. Our test frequencies will be in accordance with the LAPM and/or City approved QAP. Test data and daily reports will be on Caltrans forms.

QUALITY ASSURANCE REVIEW
We understand the importance of reliability of our inspections and test results. Therefore, we have a Quality Assurance Plan in place that provides written procedures for our services.

Our Quality plan is overseen by a California licensed Quality Engineer and include review of our training procedures, as well as participation in third party review and inspection of our facilities. All of our laboratory conformance tests are reviewed by a California licensed engineer prior to submittal.

REPORTS
Written reports are required for project documentation.

We will submit our written reports as established in
the communications structure for the project that was
determined during the project initiation stage. Passing tests and inspections will be filed in accordance with the document control system. Non-conforming reports will be maintained in a non-conformance log that will be maintained by our office. Non-conformance areas will need to be
remedied in accordance with the project requirements.

When non-conforming materials or workmanship are
remedied, we will document the acceptance in the non-
conformance log for project close out purposes.

PROJECT CLOSE OUT
The final step in our approach is the closing out of the project and providing the project documentation, as it relates to materials testing and inspection, to the City. As indicated above, Caltrans test data sheets and daily report forms will be used as appropriate.

The City desires to retain a highly qualified construction management, inspection and materials testing consultant to provide construction management, inspection and testing services for CIP and permit projects. TKE recognizes the City’s need for construction management and inspection services to support a combination of CIP projects, including: roadway pavement rehabilitation and/or restoration, streetscape, landscaping, and irrigation systems, utility, bridges, safety lighting, traffic signal, water treatment and distribution systems, sewer systems, flood control and storm drain facilities, parks, general facilities (chain-link fencing/gates, retaining walls, etc.) and other Public Works construction projects. TKE staff is prepared to immediately mobilize and begin providing the required services and related technical engineering assistance including but not limited to the following:

Δ Maintaining orderly project records
Δ Scheduling/conducting job meetings
Δ Weekly progress report submittals
Δ Permit compliance verification
Δ Construction project coordination
Δ Inspect development improvements/project or
encroachment permits to assure work is constructed
as designed
Δ Attend construction progress meetings
Δ Record and provide photographic records
Δ Problem identification/solution determination

TKE Team staff will demonstrate proactive communication strategies to keep the City informed about plan check status updates and any potential issues that may arise. We will be readily available on a daily basis to provide these necessary updates to the City’s Project Engineers prior to returning the plan check to the developer or its representative.

2 P R O J E C T A P P R O A C H
Whether the services required are traffic, transportation, pavement, rehabilitation, water, sew or drainage related, successful project delivery is our goal. Our definition of successful project delivery is:

Δ Project Completion that Protects City Interests
Δ Project Completion that Meets All Project
Requirements
Δ Project Completion on Schedule
Δ Project Completion within Budget

I M P L E M A T I O N P L A N
TKE’s implementation plan includes the following key elements which we routinely provide for each of our projects:

Our approach to the City’s projects, recognizing that both cost effectiveness and expedited construction are of primary concern, dictates that very close working partnership between the selected consultant and the City is vital to successful project completion. When this is coupled with the various site constraints, it is critical that the City choose a construction management team with a proven track record of delivering construction projects. With a familiar team of senior level design and construction professionals, TKE is the right choice for this project.

As mentioned above, our experience tells us that there must be a proactive approach to completing the work in order to complete a cost effective, fully functioning public works project.

This approach includes early identification of critical elements, and development of project schedule and tasks.

Critical elements for construction projects include project management, value engineering, cost control, dispute
resolution, standards compliance, ADA compliance, traffic control, and site safety.

The most important key to every public works project is management. TKE, working closely with City staff, will ensure that the project is managed properly to expedite project delivery. Project construction efforts will generate a series of considerations requiring City responses. Our close working partnership will lead to the proper decisions and ultimately fully operating, cost effective public works improvements.

TKE also understands the limits on the City’s budget,
particularly funding. Because of the limited budget for City projects, it is vital to keep costs controlled. Our approach to controlling costs is to utilize our team’s considerable experience with design and construction to assist in providing
constructability reviews and identify issues prior to being constructed to help reduce the potential for unnecessary change orders.

V A L U E E N G I N E E R I N G
TKE’s construction manager and inspectors are highly skilled at understanding pavement rehabilitation strategies. Our
construction staff will walk the existing project limits to determine if the proposed pavement rehabilitation strategies are appropriate. With our expertise in pavement management, our staff has already been able to recommend pavement
rehabilitation strategy modifications which have saved close to $1 million on a current Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Project for Arterials and Collectors. TKE will assess each street and the current rehabilitation strategy to determine if modifications will allow the City for additional cost savings

while maintaining appropriate rehabilitation strategies for the street conditions.

A D A C O M P L I A N C E
ADA compliance for curb ramp construction includes an
extensive check list of items from the California Building Code Chapter 11B Divisions 4 and 7. These divisions include requirements for slopes, ramp widths, landing areas, counter slopes, clear space and detectable warning surfaces. TKE’s inspectors are extremely well versed in the requirements set forth in the CBC Chapter 11B for ramp construction and will be able to ensure ramps are fully ADA compliant after constructed.

In addition, for ramp construction, transitions to existing improvements are typically another challenging component, especially in developed areas where private improvements have been constructed. TKE will review all corners and identify impacts early during value engineering and will develop an action plan for working with properties that may be impacted.

TKE will ensure ramp construction will fully comply with ADA requirements.

S T R I C T C O N S T R U C T I O N C O M P L I A N C E In order to ensure cost controls and maintain project budgets, it is imperative that the City employ an experienced
construction management, inspection and materials testing team. Our team has consistently delivered projects on -time and within budget by maintaining an active dialogue and hands on approach with the project contractor, while ensuring that all construction is consistent with the bid plans and specifications.

We are familiar with applicable standards and specifications, including but not limited to numerous cities throughout Los Angeles County and Greenbook.

D I S P U T E R E S O L U T I O N
TKE’s construction managers are highly skilled with and has provided dispute resolution on a number of past projects. The keys to avoiding potential costly and time-consuming disputes are knowledge, communication and organization. Our
construction managers pride themselves on thorough research and review of the project plans and specifications and their existing knowledge and understanding of Caltrans, Greenbook and other standard plans and specifications. Our effective communications skills ensure that all stakeholders are
constantly advised of project progress and requirements. Our proactive organizational program effectively manages the construction schedule, documents action items with required follow-up and continuous schedule reviews and anticipate needs for future action items. Our project manager’s ‘can do’ approach to all project issues nearly always results in resolution. They are non-combative with all project
stakeholders, maintaining professional working relationships with each stakeholder regardless of conflict. Their
perseverance and vast knowledge and experience of issues will resolve challenges while protecting MSWD interests.

W O R K Q U A L I T Y A N D C O S T C O N T R O L S TKE takes pride in its reputation for thoroughness, rapid turnaround, cost efficiency and overall quality of work, and believes that a high level of quality is needed on all services provided by TKE. Key components of TKE’s construction
program include check lists, templates, trained and
experienced staff and communication with District staff and contractor. High quality services yield ease of project oversight, smoother processing, minimal delays in construction,
minimized construction support cost, absence of change
orders, and reduced claims and dispute resolution costs.

TKE believes that the most successful quality assurance program is one that is applied inherently throughout the entire process. This program requires not only formal procedures for checking, but encourages the conscientious effort of
experienced people to always “think quality” in every task performed throughout the construction process. This program has become a natural element in all aspects of TKE’s
construction management and inspection activities, and will guide all services provided by TKE.

Effective QA/QC includes assignment of experienced staff, continuity of staffing, schedule review and compliance, comprehensive field review and compilation of site data, review by constructability expert, established inspection procedures, understanding standards, plans and details, and effective communication. The Quality Assurance / Quality Control program is in place to ensure that services provided by TKE continues to exceed the standards of our clients and that we will deliver the construction projects on schedule and within budget.

Regarding cost controls, TKE’s client manager will provide monthly progress reports documenting project progress for all projects assigned to TKE using a comprehensive project
management summary. The summary includes project name
and related number, description of progress, budget status, schedule compliance, change order summary, unresolved
issues, and anticipated upcoming accomplishments.

C O N F L I C T R E S O L U T I O N
One of TKE’s greatest strengths is conflict resolution. Through our history, not one of TKE’s projects has resulted in litigation.

We use a proactive approach to conflict resolution that includes continuous communications, development of alternative
proposals and reason. Our not-confronting project and
construction managers and approach has continued proven success.

Project Management
Willdan has had two primary objectives since our inception in 1964:
 Ensuring the success of our clients
 Enhancing their communities
Working steadily toward these goals we gained a notable reputation for project understanding, technical excellence, cost effectiveness, and client responsiveness. It is these attributes that our construction management and inspection team bring to each project. To these primary objectives, we add individual project-oriented goals that include:
 Ensuring Project Success – Provide City and contractor with constant input and feedback affecting projects
 Community Enhancement – Monitor project for conformance to City’s high standards  Impeccable Recordkeeping – Maintain construction files pursuant to City, Willdan, and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual
 Rigorous Budget Control – Provide biweekly construction budget updates to City Project Manager
 Maintain Schedule – Provide weekly schedule updates and ensure contractor complies with project schedule requirements
 Resident and Business Satisfaction – Provide initial project flyers and periodic updates to businesses and residents affected by the project; set up project hotline for high profile CIP projects that impact a significant number of citizens; ensure project is well maintained and project traffic controls are installed per project plans, CAMUTCD, and City requirements Project Approach
Willdan’s approach to construction management starts with assigning the appropriate staff to fit the assignment’s needs. For construction projects, the primary team members will include a construction manager and the project inspector. Our management team will work closely with the City’s Project Manager to assign the most qualified individuals to each project. To achieve these goals, Willdan’s approach to management and inspection of the City’s construction projects includes:
 Thorough review of project specifications and plans
 Initial set-up of project-specific construction management files  Identify and address key project issues prior to start of construction  Agree on project-specific quality assurance program
 Identify and coordinate with outside utility agencies and/or permitting agencies impacted by the projects
 Arrange preconstruction meeting and process RFIs and submittals in a timely manner  Maintain detailed project records and provide weekly/monthly reports  Arrange weekly project meetings to review and address project issues  Provide qualified inspectors to closely monitor contractor's work and progress  Provide detailed inspection reports of developer/contractor’s daily activities  Promptly respond to resident and business complaints and questions  Provide final project close-out documents conforming to City, Willdan, and other concerned parties

To supplement the Caltrans Construction Manual, we have also developed checklists as a means of quality control for our typical project field files, federally funded project documentation, BMP inspections, slurry seal inspections, ARHM paving inspections, water main inspections, and traffic signal inspections.

Communication Approach: Willdan recognizes that effective, ongoing, cooperative communication between all parties over the course of any project is essential to successful completion. This communication starts with a project kick-off meeting where the objectives and expectations of the City for the project are clearly articulated and understood by Willdan.

In addition, agreed-upon methods and scheduling of formal reporting are established with identification of individuals to be involved in the project's decision-making process. This sets forth accountability and responsibility for informing and facilitating the project. As the project progresses, communication continues through regular correspondence, teleconference discussions, and meetings with City staff to keep City staff apprised of the project status. Clear and concise progress updates are provided. Emails and teleconferences are utilized whenever possible and appropriate to minimize City staff time spent in meetings.

Constructability Review Approach: Willdan will perform an independent review of plans, specifications, and cost estimates. These reviews will focus on constructability, inter-disciplinary coordination, completeness, and general code compliance. Our typical Constructability Review Process is shown in the flowchart below. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, reviews may be conducted at 60% and/or 90% design levels.

At the 60% Review stage, it is not anticipated that the design elements will be fully detailed on the construction documents, so the approach to this review will be to primarily focus on big picture elements, such as the general design approach, identifying potential utility conflicts, correcting items that have been completed, identifying obscure, easy to miss details, such that they can be captured in the 90% submittal, and making recommendations regarding value engineering, construction phasing, and contracting mechanism before the design gets too far along and renders these types of changes cost- or schedule-

prohibitive. The 60% Review will include an initial site visit to get familiar with the proposed project site, identify any current field conditions not reflected on the Plans, and identify any site access constraints.

The Lead Constructability Reviewer will take time to review the plan set it totality to visualize how the whole puzzle fits together. He will conduct a cursory review of the sheet index and each of the plan sheets.

That will allow him to visualize the construction process in a step by step manner, as if building the project conceptually in his mind and logically discover if there are any incorrect or missing elements or documents.

The 60% Review will also entail looking at the footprints of various construction elements and keying in on their perimeters where interfaces with other trades, components, utilities, and systems occur.

At the 90% Review stage, the construction documents are expected to be much more developed and near completion. Therefore, our approach to the 90% review will be to provide a much more detail-oriented review, including specifications, bid items, and engineer’s estimate. It will begin with back-checking the 60% review comments to ensure they have been adequately responded to by the Design Team. Then, the plan sheets and specification sections with specialty items, such as electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, stormwater, etc. will be distributed amongst the various team members who have an expertise in that particular field. The Lead Constructability Reviewer will focus their review on civil and water improvements, and interdisciplinary coordination. The 90% review will include specifications, bid schedule, and engineer’s estimate. Measurement and payment sections and bid schedules will be compared to each other to ensure that each item specified on the plans is attributable to a bid item, with a complete description of the work covered under that bid item. Each disciplinary reviewer will review the relevant specification sections that pertain to their field to ensure that the technical specifications are complete and correlate properly to the Plans. Quantity takeoffs will be performed using Revu Bluebeam to calculate linear footages, areas, and per each quantities for unit price bid items. Construction notes and measurements corresponding to separate bid items will be color coded in Bluebeam to ensure that every construction element is covered by a bid item, without overlap.

Deliverables for review comments will be provided in a tabulated form utilizing Microsoft Excel, complemented by a marked-up pdf, utilizing text features in Bluebeam Revu to support and clarify the tabulated comments. The spreadsheet includes the reviewer’s initials sheet/page number, detail number/spec section, comment, and provide a column for Designer’s written response.

Contractor Compliance: Our staff has extensive experience with a myriad of public works projects and has a clear understanding of the issues surrounding inspection of the work. For example, when constructing sidewalks and ADA-compliant ramps, our team will ensure adequate subgrade compaction has been achieved. They will monitor the work for conformance with the plans, specifications, and ADA requirements. The concrete tickets will be checked to ensure materials match the approved mix design. A smart level will be used to check forms and the contractor will not be approved to place concrete until the work meets all City and other applicable standards. Willdan’s team will monitor the contractor’s operations for conformance with City compaction standards by working with the material testing lab and will not accept any trench backfill or allow any pavement repair until proper compaction is verified by the lab. Soils Technicians are dispatched to job sites on an as needed basis for testing purposes, to verify conformance to the contract requirements.

Project Budgets: Construction costs are proactively managed and tracked against available budgets by our Construction Managers. This starts with an initial quantity takeoff from the construction plans, utilizing Bluebeam Revu, serving as an independent audit of the project quantities as they correlate to the bid schedule quantities. Early identification of potential quantity busts and continual monitoring of quantities throughout construction is key to maintaining project costs within established budgets. Our team creates and maintains change order logs and final cost projection spreadsheets on a weekly basis to document and track all quantity adjustments, approved change orders, pending change orders, and potential change orders. The City’s Project Manager is kept abreast of the project budget status throughout construction so that adjustments can be made to the scope of the project, or proper procedures can be followed to request additional funding, if needed to stay within the established contingencies. Willdan’s team also focuses on quickly processing RFIs and change order requests and providing direction to the Contractor as needed to keep them moving and avoid costly delays.

Scheduling: The contractor’s critical path method baseline schedule will be reviewed and accepted prior to issuance of a notice to proceed. The schedule will identify major items of work and will be the vehicle for monitoring, controlling, and tracking progress. The schedule will be required to be updated monthly to reflect actual and forecasted completions. This allows our construction managers to anticipate and forecast potential issues and develop an advanced strategy to proactively mitigate problems before they impact the schedule. In instances where schedule delays are expected to occur, due to weather, approval requirements or information from an outside agency, material shortages, or other unanticipated factors, the City’s Project Manager will be immediately notified of the potential project delay. Strategies will be developed and implemented to resolve project challenges and expedite the approval of the affected projects. As the Project Manager, Mr. Bustos will monitor all progress on a weekly basis.

Cloud-Based Construction Management: If our clients do not have their own preferred construction management software, Willdan utilizes our subscription to the cloud-based application Virtual Project Manager (VPM), to manage the paperwork and record keeping on CIP projects. We are aware from our past involvement with City of Downey projects, that the City utilizes Procore construction management software. Whether using VPM or Procore, Willdan’s construction management and inspection staff is very familiar with utilizing a cloud-based system. Upon startup of a new construction project, the project is added to the cloud-based site and the appropriate team members from the City, Contractor, Designer, and Willdan’s staff will be provided access to that project’s site, with varying levels of permission on the types of documents each team member has access to. Contractor RFIs and submittals are provided through the cloud-based software, assigned to an appropriate team member, comments or responses are uploaded to the website, and all parties are notified via email when the document is uploaded. The cloud-based application automatically creates and maintains logs to track the

status of each submittal and RFI. Given that Willdan utilizes a construction management software, similar to Procore, for nearly all CIP construction projects we manage, there is very little, if any, learning curve to working within the City’s Procore system. Willdan also utilizes a combination of softwares, including Microsoft Office and Bluebeam Revu to perform constructability reviews, perform quantity takeoffs, and perform contract administration duties.

Customer Service: To meet and often exceed the expectations of our clients, Willdan fosters and instills a corporate culture of Customer-First among our staff and in our day-to-day work environment. Looking out for our customer’s best interests is at the forefront of everything we do. Our customer-focused philosophy is particularly evident when dealing with complex situations and difficult to resolve challenges.
