reimbursements, and recommendation of acceptance.
Management and Coordination
We will manage our contract with the City to provide
cost-effective construction management and construction inspection services by utilizing the following practices:
> Open flow of communication with the City Staffing
Coordinator on costs and staffing.
> Hold monthly meetings with the City Staffing
Coordinator to review any concerns with Consor staff
and to learn details of upcoming work.
> Accurate, detailed and timely billing information that monitors our contract’s funds.
> Provide adequate staffing and/or service to cover the City’s needs.
> Frequent “check-ins” with staff for assistance with
any questions and/or needs of current workload and
provide information of upcoming tasks.
> Oversight of staff to ensure their work is acceptable to the City.
> Review of deliverables for ensured high quality and
accuracy.

The main challenge to an on-call construction
management and construction inspection services
contract is being able to respond to the requests and
needs of the City in a timely manner . Ability to provide qualified staff with the required skill set when requested starts with pre-planning and constant coordination and
Construction Management and Inspection Services | City of Dublin | July 2025 | 7 297
follow up. Consor has provided on-call services to many agencies and knows the steps needed to successfully support the City of Dublin. The required steps include:
> Pre-selected staffing with specialties approved by the City. > Regular communication with City project manager to forecast projects and needs. > Planning months ahead and updating staffing availability to match upcoming City projects. > Meeting with the City project manager and developing a staffing plan including both City staff and Consor staff to cover all upcoming construction projects.
> Executing the staffing plan and making adjustments when needed to efficiently and effectively cover all the work.
Responding to City Staffing Needs
Since the contract is to provide support to the City on an on-call basis, it is important to be flexible. Short term coverage for small projects or to fill in for a City staff member’s vacation may be part of this contract. The ways to handle these types of needs starts with pre-planning and anticipating the City’s needs. Having local staff that can respond quickly to the City’s needs and cover the short-term assignments is a necessity. Consor has a strong local team with over 100 construction management and construction inspection professionals in the Bay Area. We can respond quickly to the City’s needs for short term and long-term assignments.
Level of Effort
Depending on the project, staff can cover multiple projects for efficiency. The City may need staff augmentation to support construction inspection. The City may also have a need to full construction management and inspection team for a grant or federal funded project. Work may be support for contract administration and office engineering, or coordination and contract compliance. The City may need support for grant applications or for a team to prepare all of the grant applications. The support will depend on the project type and the project funding sources. Consor will do what is needed to support the City to cover the work and to meet the project requirements and those of funding or oversight agency requirements.

The Iron Horse Regional Trail is a major regional trail for pedestrians and bicyclists through central Alameda
and Contra Costa Counties. This project is a free-span
bridge crossing of Iron Horse Regional Trail over Dublin Boulevard within the City of Dublin. Currently, the Trail runs from northwest to southeast as it approaches Dublin Boulevard, which is a heavily traveled east-west roadway.
The existing trail at-grade crossing of Dublin Boulevard is quite skewed. The primary objective of this project is to provide a safe crossing for Trail users and facilitate improved traffic flow along Dublin Boulevard by providing a grade-separated bridge crossing over Dublin Boulevard for pedestrians and bicyclists.
MNS is providing complete construction management
services for this Class 1 bicycle and pedestrian truss
arch bridge over Dublin Boulevard near the intersection of Scarlett Drive. The bridge provides safer and easier access to Iron Horse Trail, access to and from the Dublin- Pleasanton BART station, and connects two existing
segments of the Iron Horse Trail. This creates a total
separation of bicyclists and pedestrians from motorized vehicles. Construction work consists of miscellaneous
clearing and demolition, cast-in-place footing construction, retaining wall installation, walkways, bridge fabrication and erection, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) ramp and steel railing installation, signage, trail lighting installation, paving, and any associated restorations of the site.

5 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
By anticipating potential issues early, we help reduce
delays and control costs. Our approach includes schedule reviews, early issue resolution, streamlined change
procedures, and clear communication with stakeholders.
Our document control system tracks progress payments,
CCOs, and cost impacts. MNS works closely with the City, design team, and contractor to resolve issues efficiently and avoid unnecessary escalation.
Appropriate Mix of Skills and Disciplines
MNS offers a skilled team with the experience to support the City across a wide range of projects. Our strength
lies in managing multiple assignments through consistent coordination, communication, and quality control. With
intimate familiarity and prior work experience with the City, our team is well-equipped to deliver effective, reliable results.
Commitment of Team
Our Project Manager is committed to the successful
performance of our team to support the City. MNS places a high value on maintaining the relationships we have with clients, and we consider the City one of our key clients.
Frank Sana, PE, strives to deliver high-quality service to the City’s satisfaction and the City can be confident this level of service will continue.
Adherence to Schedule
Each project MNS undertakes is driven by the schedule
needs of our clients. Our deliverables for specific Task Orders will include a project-specific schedule, meetings with City staff, and final completion. Once the Notice
to Proceed (NTP) is received from the City, the Project Manager, Frank Sana, PE, will facilitate an internal kick- off meeting with the project team to discuss the schedule, expectations, and deliverables with the team, including quality control reviews. Regular progress meetings are
also held to relay any potential scheduling concerns.
Any adjustments will be discussed with the City’s Project Manager in advance and with their concurrence.
Constructability Reviews
One of the key value-added services MNS offers is the
expertise of our construction management staff and the
review of constructability issues/concerns during the
preliminary and final design phases. This attention to
Section 4. Approach4
Contract Management Approach
MNS delivers highly qualified personnel tailored to the City’s project needs—on time and ready to perform. Our
team integrates seamlessly with City staff to ensure quality construction and full contract compliance from day one.
MNS divides our approach to managing the contract and
associated Task Orders into four phases: Contract Setup, Staffing Implementation, Quality Control, and Reporting/ Invoicing.
Contract Setup
At contract kickoff, MNS will meet with the City’s Contract Manager to align on protocols, forms, invoicing, and
expectations. We establish a clear Communication Plan
from the start—customized, flexible, and built to support project success.
Staffing Implementation
Staffing implementation starts with understanding the
City's current and future project needs. MNS works closely with the City to plan ahead and assign the right staff at the right time. Our team is flexible and ready to respond quickly to both scheduled and unexpected requests,
helping the City manage resources efficiently and keep
projects moving.
Quality Control/Reporting & Invoicing
MNS views Quality Control (QC) as the backbone of
our service. Our internal QC Program ensures staff are
trained, contract-ready, and deliver accurate, timely
work—both in the field and office. Project Manager Frank Sana, PE, will oversee performance and compliance, while ensuring clear reporting, accurate invoicing, and consistent coordination with the City to keep projects on track and on budget.
Cost and Schedule Control Approach
MNS treats cost control as a continuous priority. We
actively manage schedule and expenditures to stay within budget while identifying cost-saving opportunities at every phase.

6 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
anticipating potential construction issues enhances the quality and biddability of projects and decreases the
potential for change orders.
Scope of Services
Our straightforward approach to construction management and inspection focuses on project efficiency and fulfilling all agency budget, schedule, and documentation
requirements. Frank Sana, PE, will manage the
Construction Management (CM) team to achieve those
goals. Our construction management scope of work can
be categorized into three separate tasks:
• Pre-Construction (Phase 1)
• Construction (Phase 2)
• Post-Construction (Phase 3)
Our typical approach to providing this scope of services is outlined as follows:
Task 1 Pre-Construction
TASK 1.1 Constructability Review
MNS will be available to review the project documents
for constructability issues and submit a constructability report with our findings and recommendations. If
comments cannot be addressed prior to bidding, we will
discuss these issues at the pre-construction meeting
before mobilizing the contractor. MNS will also review
the Engineer’s Estimate and approved budget as part
of our constructability efforts. Our comments will be
provided as part of our constructability report. Our
proposed constructability review staff have many years
of construction management experience on all types of
projects and have performed numerous constructability
reviews.
TASK 1.2 Project Review
Prior to construction, it is important the CM staff obtains comprehensive knowledge and understands the
information surrounding the project. The CM team will
thoroughly review the project documents (e.g. plans,
specifications, Design Engineer’s Resident Engineer
file, utility agreements, permits, soils reports, etc.) to understand the project and the various applicable
limitations.
TASK 1.3 Schedule Review
Upon our review of the project documents, MNS will
develop a preliminary schedule for the project to show
the anticipated staging sequence, main work activities, as well as any project-specific milestones representative of the project construction. We will review internally and compare the schedule against the allotted working days
to determine a realistic, but efficient schedule. We will use this preliminary schedule as a basis for reviewing the contractor’s submitted baseline schedule.
TASK 1.4 Project Setup/Kick-Off Meeting
The CM team will coordinate with the City Project Manager to establish a firm foundation of communication. MNS will meet with the City Project Manager to:
• Establish project protocols, levels of authorization, and procedures for contract change orders, submittals, and
Requests for Information (RFIs).
• Review project administration requirements to ensure
consistency with the special funding requirements.
TASK 1.5 Pre-Construction Meeting
MNS will coordinate a pre-construction meeting and
invite the selected contractor, City staff, utility companies, and others involved with the project. The meeting will
highlight the contractor’s responsibility for items such as safety, emergency response, traffic control, site access, labor compliance, certifications of materials, submittals, schedule updates, permit and utility agreements, order of work, pay requests, public notices, and quality control. We will resolve issues up front and discuss any issues prior to mobilizing the contractor. MNS will prepare and distribute an agenda and meeting minutes.
Task 2 Construction
TASK 2.1 Construction Coordination and
Correspondence
MNS will work closely with the City and the contractor to promote effective coordination and communication at the 366
7 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
job level with all agencies, technicians, and the affected community and businesses.
Weekly Meetings. To facilitate and maintain
communication, MNS will hold weekly construction
meetings with the contractor to discuss the progress of the work and address any outstanding or anticipated issues.
The contractor's three-week-look-ahead schedule will be reviewed and discussed during each meeting.
TASK 2.2 Contract Administration
MNS utilizes a construction administrative system modeled after the Caltrans construction administrative system,
and utilizes Caltrans forms such as Weekly Statement
of Working Days (WSWDs), daily diaries, etc. We use a
cloud-based project management tool called CMIS and
it is available at no extra cost to the City. This allows City staff real-time access to all project documents and minimizes the effort and time associated with maintaining and providing hard copies of contract documents to the
City.
MNS will diligently track correspondence, submittals, RFIs, CCOs, WSWDs, and progress pay estimates. We monitor
cost control by tracking contract item payments and
quantities, CCO payments, extra work, and supplemental
work. Our system complies with all Caltrans Local
Assistance and federal requirements.
Monthly Summary Reports. MNS will prepare a Monthly
Summary Report to provide updated project status,
including the summary narrative of work accomplished
including photos, work to be completed the following
month, summary of costs, updated schedule of work
with explanations for deviations from the initial baseline schedule, explanation of any upcoming risks and/or
problem areas and corrective action to be taken, status of submittals, RFIs, CCOs, and claims.
Project Schedule Control. MNS will review the
contractor’s baseline schedule at the start of the project and provide any comments for resubmittal or approval.
The contractor will be required to submit monthly schedule updates and correct any discrepancies prior to approval.
The baseline schedule review will verify the baseline
schedule adheres to the contract specifications, includes realistic durations, and critical and near critical path activities. MNS will monitor the contractor's progress; should the project begin to slip, the contractor will be requested to submit a Recovery Schedule.
TASK 2.3 Progress Estimate
The MNS team will prepare and track contract quantities for each pay estimate. MNS will review the contractor’s monthly Pay Request against the Inspector’s quantity
calculations before recommending payment approval to
the City. Extra work and supplemental work costs will be tracked and compared against the authorized change
order amounts.
TASK 2.4 Submittals/RFIs
The timely review of submittals and RFIs is critical to project construction. All submittals and RFIs will be
logged, reviewed, and distributed as required. MNS
will monitor the log to verify responses are submitted in a timely manner and will also coordinate with the City
Project Manager and Design Engineer to ensure RFIs and
submittals are answered and returned within the required time.
TASK 2.5 Contract Change Order (CCO)
Management
Prior to beginning any contract work, MNS will coordinate with the City to define the preferred CCO process. The
MNS team will proactively identify actual and potential problems and immediately notify the Resident Engineer,
who will:
• Determine the validity and justification for all change order requests.
• Perform independent cost estimate and negotiate costs with the contractor.
• Provide a recommendation to the City's Project Manager on all change orders.
• Process CCOs and track costs against contingency
balance.
• Track and log all CCOs.
TASK 2.6 Construction Inspection
MNS will provide the level of inspection required for the specific type of project. The MNS Construction Inspector 367

Bailey Road/State Route 4 Interchange Pedestrian
and Bicycle Improvement Project, Contra Costa
County, CA. Resident Engineer. This $4.1M project
modified the Bailey Road/State Route 4 interchange to
improve bicycle and pedestrian access along Bailey
Road. The project area extended from the BART Access
Road to the Canal Road/State Route 4 westbound on-
ramp intersection along Bailey Road in the Bay Point
area. The project removed the westbound State Route 4
loop off ramp and the underutilized pedestrian tunnel
under the same ramp in the northwest corner of the
interchange. With the removal of the westbound loop off- ramp, 12-foot-wide sidewalks were constructed to
provide pedestrians a more direct route along Bailey
Road from Canal Road to the BART Access Road. The
project also added Class II bicycle lanes along Bailey
Road through the interchange area. To accommodate
the traffic displaced by the removal of the westbound
State Route 4 loop off-ramp, the existing westbound
diagonal off-ramp on the northeast side of the
interchange was widened to two lanes, and a new traffic signal was installed to accommodate traffic headed both northbound and southbound on Bailey Road. A retaining
wall was required along the north side of the ramp for the widening. Bailey Road was widened along the
southbound side, from the intersection of the State Route 4 westbound on-ramp to the existing westbound State
Route 4 loop off-ramp. The widening also accommodates
the extension of a third southbound lane along Bailey
Road. The eastbound State Route 4 loop off ramp to
Bailey Road was modified to have controlled right-turn
movements by squaring off the ramp terminus. The
project also removed the free right-turn from southbound Bailey Road onto the BART Access Road. These
movements were controlled by modifying the existing
traffic signal at three separate intersections. The project was completed with a pavement overlay from the
eastbound off-ramps/BART Access Road to the
westbound onramp, spanning the full width of Bailey
Road. MNS provided full construction management and
materials testing services. Mauricio’s responsibilities include project communication and coordination, contract administration, CPM schedule review and approval, cost

Bridge Seismic Retrofit Project, Thom performed the
constructability reviews of this bridge and four other
major retrofit projects on the Bay Bridge and the
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. In doing so, he utilized his extensive structural steel and protective coatings
background to develop innovative specifications to
address the highly unique aspects of the projects and to reduce the owner's exposure to construction claims and
delays. Further, Thom made changes to the critical path method (CPM) scheduling specifications to create a “float bank" for the State of California to earn float for
expediting work. His recommendations for changing the
specifications were not only implemented for these
projects but have since been included in the State’s
Standard Special Provisions. His experience includes:
Dougherty Road Improvements, City of Dublin, CA.
Resident Engineer. The $14M Dougherty Road
Improvements project addresses traffic congestion and
multi-modal circulation issues for commuters traveling
Dougherty Road, including improved access to the
Dublin/Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
station. The project constructs two new vehicular travel lanes with landscaped median islands; new bicycle and
pedestrian path; curb and gutter; Americans with
Disabilities (ADA) curb ramps; and new bus stops and
bus pull-outs. The project also involved significant utility coordination to install underground infrastructure for

Yerba Buena Island Southgate Road Realignment
Improvements, San Francisco County Transportation
Authority, CA. Resident Engineer/Structure
Representative. This $30M three-phase project involving realignment improvements will increase the length of the on- and off-ramp on a new alignment to allow the YBI
WB Ramps project to function as designed. The
realignment of the Southgate Road will allow the
roadway to function as an extension of the on- and off- ramps for the BYI WB Ramp Project and will separate
the traffic heading to the westbound and eastbound
Interstate 80. This traffic separation will eliminate a queue spillback on Interstate 80. To ensure all truck
turning movements are accommodated, the extended
ramps will provide direct access from Hillcrest Road to the westbound on-ramp. The project includes two cast-in- place post-tensioned box girder bridges, multiple
retaining walls including a multiple level tieback wall, and concrete barriers. The project also includes cast-in-
drilled-hole (CIDH) piles with steel casing, significant earthwork, complicated utility relocations, drainage and temporary drainage structures, temporary bike path, and ongoing traffic control. The project is very challenging due to the limited, tight working area while keeping traffic running through the construction. Responsibilities include working closely with multiple agencies including Caltrans, SCCTA, and the City; reviewing and tracking submittals
including falsework, shoring, post-tensioning, pile
placement; supervising the field inspectors; identifying and resolving field issues; performing field engineering; coordination of construction staking and materials
sampling and testing; preparing correspondence,
responses to RFIs, and progress payments; negotiating
and preparing change orders; conducting weekly
coordination meetings; resolving potential claims; and
maintaining as-built records.

Overcrossing (POC) Project, City of San Carlos, CA.
Resident Engineer. This $25.8M project modifies the
existing interchange on US 101 at the Holly Street
overcrossing (OC) and adds a pedestrian overcrossing
(POC) over US 101. The interchange modification will
remove the northeast and southwest loop ramps from the
existing full cloverleaf (Type L-10) interchange and
create a partial cloverleaf (Type L-9) interchange to US 101. Diagonal on- and off-ramps will be modified to
create more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly crossings.
Holly Street will be widened to provide a third through lane for limited sections at on-ramp approaches. The
existing deck drains, electroliers, concrete median, and concrete barriers will be modified on the existing Holly Street OC. The POC will provide a new 12-foot-wide
multi-use path approximately 430 feet south of the Holly Street OC. As an alternate route for non-motorists, the POC will provide cross-freeway access without the need
to traverse ramp termini and entrances. Other key
features of the project include ramp widening, ramp
metering improvements, drainage improvements,
stormwater retention basins, retaining walls, bicycle
roundabouts at either end of the multi-use pathway,
signing and striping improvements in Redwood City on
the east side of US 101, signal improvements at the
Industrial Road/ Holly Street intersection, and fiber optic modifications along Industrial Road on the west side of US 101.
Washington Boulevard/Paseo Padre Parkway Grade
Separation, City Fremont, CA. Resident
Engineer/Deputy Resident Engineer. This $58M project

buildings with lead, asbestos, and contaminated soil;
installed multiple storm drainage systems with pipe
diameters as large as 72 inches; relocated 15 separate
utilities, including PG&E, AT&T, and Kinder Morgan;
constructed two railroad bridges, one BART bridge, an
overpass at Washington Boulevard, retaining walls,
roadways, sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) compliant curb ramps, street lighting, and a new
signalized intersection. Part of Thom’s utility coordination responsibilities included review of utility relocation plans, and field verification of utility relocation. Specific utilities involved PG&E, AT&T, Union Sanitary District, Alameda
County Water District, COMCAST, Time Warner, XO,
Level3, Verizon (MCI), Sprint, Qwest, Kinder Morgan,
SFPUC, and Abovenet. The project was located within
the habitat and breeding area of the California Tiger

Association Conference
Mr. Loya has over 25 years of experience working on
California transportation projects in the construction
management, stormwater management, and highway
design environments. Aftab has managed and designed
numerous projects through all phases of the project life cycle. This unique blend of construction and design
expertise has helped him serve clients through the full spectrum of constructability review, construction
management and administration, and construction
inspection services.
He spent the first six years of his career at Caltrans
District 4, first as Project Engineer and later as Assistant Resident Engineer. Aftab is a Qualified SWPPP
Practitioner (QSP) and has taught more than 400
Caltrans engineers on the preparation of Caltrans Storm Water Data Reports, through 16 workshops held in five
Caltrans Districts. Aftab recently finished serving the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) Office of
Infrastructure Delivery as Principal Assistant Resident Engineer on the Mission-Line and Alameda-Line 34.5kV
Traction Power Cable Replacement projects. He led
change management and contract negotiation tasks on
both projects, which comprised the two largest
construction contracts ever awarded by the BART
Maintenance & Engineering (M&E) Department. His
experience includes:
Fairfax Bolinas Wall at PM 1.0, County of Marin, CA.
Assistant Resident Engineer/Inspector. This $1.5M
project repaired a landslide along Bolinas Road near post mile (PM) 1.0 in Marin County by constructing a 100-foot cast-in-drilled hole (CIDH) retaining wall, a 100-foot
concrete waler along an existing retaining wall, and
installing ground anchors in both structures. This project included structural concrete and minor concrete,
earthwork, pier drilling, erosion and sediment control, roadway paving and striping, installation of a new
drainage system, traffic control measures, guardrail
installation, and rock slope protection. Key challenges of this project included working under Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) powerlines with limited outage windows and
maintaining continuous traffic flow and access on the
narrow hillside road. An around-the-clock backup
generator was provided to a nearby residence to avoid
any outages while PG&E lines were de-energized. Traffic flow and access were maintained using flaggers and
temporary signals. Limited space on the roadway
required a multi-stage construction plan for access and storage of construction equipment. MNS provided
construction management services, including project

management, construction engineering, pre-construction
review, stakeholder communication and coordination,
contract administration/document control, construction
inspection, project closeout, and record drawings. This project was funded by Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). Aftab was responsible for communicating and
coordinating with stakeholders, providing construction
inspection, facilitating closeout, and preparing record drawings.
Mission-Line 34.5kV Cable Replacement Project,
BART, San Francisco, CA. Principal Assistant Resident
Engineer. This five-year, $85 million project entailed the second-largest M&E construction contract ever awarded
and replaced the existing traction power infrastructure along 14 miles of BART tunnels in downtown and
suburban San Francisco. Specific elements of work
included installation of 80,000 linear feet of new phenolic conduit and fiberglass splice trays along the ceiling of all tunnels, placement of 300,000 linear feet of high voltage EPR cable for the train traction power system, routing the cable and conduits into new isolation disconnect
switches located at each of the eight electrical
substations along the track, installation of 45,000 linear feet of a new fiber-optic backbone to support train
operations, and removal of existing 50-year old PIPE-
type cable. A unique challenge of this project was the
restriction that field work along the tracks/tunnels could only be performed when trains were not running, which
meant that construction could occur only during very
limited late night or selected weekend hours.
As Principal Assistant Resident Engineer, Aftab
proactively met this challenge by working with the
Contractor and the BART Operations Planning group to
ensure that each work shift was planned in detail several weeks in advance, and work shift notifications in the form of track allocation requests were submitted and updated continuously. He spearheaded all of the construction
management team's change control, cost management,
quality assurance, and stakeholder coordination efforts.
Utilizing his unique and superior combination of
extensive design and construction experience, Aftab was able to anticipate, plan for, execute, and control major changes to the project's scope before such changes
could significantly impact the project's schedule and
budget. He successfully led negotiations on over 30
change orders (~ $15 million), which yielded $3.5 million in direct cost savings plus $3.8 million in time-related cost savings for BART. As a direct result of his proactive efforts, less than 1% of change order contingency
reserve funds were expended and construction was
completed several months ahead of schedule.
Alameda-Line 34.5kV Cable Replacement Project,
BART, Almeda County, CA. Principal Assistant
Resident Engineer. This four-year, $107 million project entailed the largest M&E construction contract ever
awarded and replaced the existing traction power
infrastructure along 13 miles of BART aerial structures and at-grade tracks in Alameda County. Specific
elements of work included installation of new epoxy
conduit, fiberglass cable trays, and cable troughs along the trackway and below aerial/ bridge structures,
placement of 420,000 linear feet of high-voltage EPR
cable for the train traction power system, routing the
cable and conduits into the various electrical substations along the track, and installation of 70,000 linear feet of new fiber-optic cables for train operations.
As Principal Assistant Resident Engineer, Aftab utilized his exceptional knowledge of the BART RE Manual for:
preparation of monthly progress payment applications,
independent cost analyses, and estimates; resolution of design and constructability issues; administering,
monitoring, and inspecting construction work; schedule
and claims management; tracking all project reporting,
financials, and completion forecasts; and recommending
cost containment methods to BART. He also focused on
effective and timely change control, including: preparing change orders, change notices, findings-of-fact, change order justification summaries, and independent
engineer’s cost estimates; negotiating change order
costs with contractors; and creating pre-negotiation plans and records-of-negotiations The project is expected to be completed under budget and well ahead of schedule,
with no outstanding claims or potential claims.
Concord Station Plaza Improvements, BART,
Concord, CA. Office Engineer/Assistant Resident
Engineer. The Concord Station Plaza Improvements
Project consisted of removing and reconstructing new
pedestrian plazas, sidewalks, and raised decorative
crosswalks at the east and west station parking lots;
relocating taxi and passenger drop-off areas; and station improvements, such as, landscaping, retaining walls for a future bicycle storage area, patron signage, benches,
trash receptacles, and other architectural and electrical work. A recurring challenge of this project was
performing construction activities in and around the
station while providing safe, continuous station access to BART patrons, buses, and taxis. This challenge was met
by performing work during non-peak and non-revenue
hours, when necessary, and synchronizing field work
with local transit and taxi agencies to minimize traffic impacts.

McHenry Avenue Corridor Improvements, County of
San Joaquin, Escalon and Modesto, CA. Construction
Inspector. This $24M project widened and improved a
1.1-mile segment of McHenry Avenue from south of the
Stanislaus River Bridge to Jones Road to provide an
interim three-lane roadway consisting of 12-foot-wide
lanes (two travel lanes and a center two-way turn lane) with five-foot-wide shoulders to accommodate Class III
bicycle and pedestrian lanes. The existing 1200-foot-long McHenry Ave bridge was replaced in stages over the 350

Corridor improvements included the installation of an
eight-phase traffic signal and safety lighting at the
McHenry Avenue/River Road intersection, improvements
along River Road east and west of the intersection as
required to accommodate turning movements of traffic
approaching McHenry Avenue, and the staged
replacement of a two-lane bridge over South San
Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) drainage canal with a wider four-lane bridge. The canal crossing was originally bid to be constructed in two adjacent winter seasons
when the canal was not used for farm irrigation purposes.
MNS negotiated contract changes to allow for the entire structure to be built in the first winter, which avoided SSJID conflicts in the second season when record storm
run-off required them to pass farmers excess water to the Stanislaus River. As a result of MNS' efforts, the project was completed six months ahead of schedule and nearly
a half million dollars under budget. Agency involvement included the US Fish and Wildlife Service, California

On-Call Construction Management and Inspection
Services for Storm Damage Projects, County of
Santa Cruz, CA. Office Engineer. Santa Cruz County
experienced a significant amount of damage to the
roadway system from the recent storms. Emergency
proclamations were approved for funding of these sites
through the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA),
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
and the California Office of Emergency Services
(CalOES). There were over 200 sites damaged during
the storms that required repair throughout the County.
MNS is providing construction management services
during construction and project close-out for federal,
state, and locally funded projects. Assigned projects vary in scope and size and include roadway rehabilitation,
widening and/or realignment of existing facilities,
relocation of existing facilities, and construction of new facilities. Work on many of the projects took place on
steep slopes near environmentally protected creeks.
Many of the roads were single lanes and serve a large
residential community so full lane closure was not an
option. The sites are remote and outside of cellular
service range, so inspection staff had to function
autonomously on a day-to-day basis. Yujia was
responsible for reviewing and auditing contractor extra work bills, identifying discrepancies that helped the
county save over $200,000 in overcharges. She also
assisted in organizing project files to the county's digital server.
