2 QUALIFICATIONS AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
SNG & Associates, Inc. (SNG) is a California corporation established in 1999 and headquartered in Pleasanton, California. For over 25 years, SNG has provided municipal engineering services exclusively to public agencies throughout Northern California. Our practice is focused on helping cities manage land development review, engineering staff support, capital improvement implementation, and related public works functions. Because SNG works exclusively for public agencies, our team brings an owner-side perspective grounded in regulatory compliance, defensible engineering review, and responsiveness to City staff needs.
SNG has extensive experience providing the same types of services requested by the City of Dublin for on-call development review. Across long-term municipal assignments, SNG has routinely supported planning and public works departments with review and processing of land development applications, grading permits, improvement plans, right-of-way actions, subdivision maps, stormwater compliance documents, and project close-out requirements. Our work has included review of pre-application, entitlement, planning, building permit, and construction submittals; preparation of conditions of approval; review of tentative, parcel, and final maps; development and subdivision agreement support; and coordination through final acceptance and warranty release.
SNG is particularly well qualified for this assignment because we have provided on-call engineering and development review services to the City of Dublin since 2000. Our work for Dublin has included reviews of residential, mixed-use, and commercial development plans; grading permits and public improvement plans; stormwater management compliance review; off-site improvement coordination; agreement preparation; staff support; project close-out assistance and inspections. This long-standing relationship has given our team direct familiarity with Dublin’s development processes, standards, and expectations, which will allow us to continue supporting the City efficiently and with minimal ramp-up time.
In addition to Dublin, SNG has provided comparable development review and staff support services for other agencies with active and complex development programs. For the City of Tracy, SNG has provided full support to engineering staff in managing all types of development projects and applications for over 25 years. These services have supported large-scale development areas, including Residential, Specific Plan, Industrial Specific Plan, I-205 Specific Plan and others. SNG is currently providing plan review and project management services for Tracy Hills and Cordes Ranch, both of which include construction of phased major water, wastewater, storm drainage, and roadway infrastructure projects.
SNG has also supported the City of Newark with on-call engineering services that included tentative and final map review, grading and drainage review, utility and storm drainage evaluation, stormwater compliance, and coordination for phased developments in environmentally sensitive and flood-prone areas. Similarly, in Livingston, SNG provided City Engineer and staff support services for over 10 years that included subdivision processing, map review, grading and improvement plan review, agreement preparation, City Council staff report support, construction oversight, and project close-out. These assignments reflect SNG’s ability 842
Statement of Qualifications – On- Call Development Review City of Dublin
3 to function as an extension of City staff and to manage development review assignments from early entitlement review through construction completion and final acceptance.
SNG’s technical qualifications also align closely with Dublin’s requested scope. Our staff regularly reviews planning and building referrals for circulation, frontage improvements, parking, site lighting, utilities, landscaping, and related site development elements. Our team is well-versed in stormwater quality compliance, including source control, low-impact development, treatment sizing, erosion control measures, hydromodification review using Bay Area Hydrology Model tools, trash capture requirements, and stormwater maintenance agreement support. This experience is directly relevant to Dublin’s need for consultant support on a wide range of private development projects and permit applications.
SNG’s assigned team is led by experienced municipal engineers with long tenures in development review and City staff support. Nanda Gottiparthy, P.E., has nearly 30 years of municipal engineering and management experience and has served in City Engineer, senior engineering, and consultant roles for numerous public agencies, including direct support to the City of Dublin since 2000. Michael O’Connor, P.E., QSD, will serve as Project Manager and brings over 31 years of professional engineering experience, including development review, plan processing, and stormwater compliance review for multiple public agencies. He will be supported by senior staff with substantial backgrounds in subdivision processing, improvement plan review, entitlement support, stormwater compliance, and interdisciplinary coordination.
SNG’s experience, continuity, and public agency-focused practice position our team to provide responsive, technically sound, and well-coordinated on-call development review services to the City of Dublin. Our long-term municipal relationships reflect our ability to integrate with agency staff, maintain consistency across review cycles, and provide dependable support on assignments that vary in complexity, schedule, and level of coordination required.
SNG understands the City’s performance expectations for on-call development review services and is prepared to support timely and accountable service delivery. Our team is accustomed to working within agency-established review schedules, promptly identifying incomplete submittals, maintaining project records and tracking logs, coordinating meetings with staff and applicants on short notice, and providing field observation support during construction and final acceptance as needed.

1.0 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
1.1 Organization and Experience
BSK Associates is a 100 percent employee-owned California S corporation that has provided geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, construction observation, materials testing, special inspection, and analytical laboratory services for the past 60 years. Founded in 1966 in Fresno, BSK is a California grown company with a presence in the Bay Area since 1984. BSK currently employs a staff of approximately 230 with offices and laboratories throughout California, (Livermore, San Jose, Tracy, Sacramento, Fresno, San Bernardino, Visalia, and Bakersfield) as well as a laboratory in Vancouver, Washington. This contract will be serviced from our Livermore office and laboratory. BSK is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Our DIR registration number is 1000003557 About 75 percent of our Northern California projects belong to public agencies, and the BSK team members presented in this SOQ have been working together as a team providing geotechnical services and special inspection services to public agencies on an on-call basis since 2013. This experience often allows our staff to operate almost as an extension of our public sector clients’ staff. Furthermore, we are extremely familiar with working within the parameters of tight schedules and budgets, which is often the case on publicly funded projects.
1.2 Geotechnical Engineering Services
BSK is well-equipped and experienced to provide cost effective investigations and recommendations for many types of public works/engineering improvement projects, ranging from flood control infrastructure such as levees, channels, roadways, and utilities, as well as transportation improvements, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, emergency repairs, and private development peer reviews.

Tassajara Culvert Replacement—
Dublin, CA
Project Manager. ENGEO prepared a
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the
tributary of Tassajara Creek known as Moller
Creek at the Tassajara Road alignment
near the Contra Costa County limit. At
the roadway alignment an existing 9-foot
diameter corrugated metal structure was
beginning to fail and a 6-foot vertical drop
had formed at the culvert outlet. As part of
road widening planned by the City of Dublin
for Tassajara Road in the area, ENGEO
prepared a 30% design report that included
a larger culvert with rock rip-rap stabilization
on either side, including the hydraulic design
of several step-pool systems to assist the
creek in navigating the vertical differential
at the roadway alignment. As part of the
project, ENGEO worked with the City of
Dublin, the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), the San Francisco
Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board

As a sub consultant, Joy managed the signal detector and communication evaluation, field implementation and fine-tuning of SynchroGreen in the City of Fremont. The purpose of providing the adaptive control along Fremont Boulevard is to overcome delay and manage queues due to periodic traffic volume fluctuations. The project extent is 2.2 miles consisting of 9 traffic signals, of which 7 signals belongs to the City and Caltrans owns the remaining 2 signals. Joy conducted field reviews of the existing signal system, recommended upgrades to detection and communication systems to enable the adaptive system functionality of SynchoGreen. Multiple areas of improvements were identified within the constraints of having the availability of limiting detector channels. The adaptive system is implemented through fine-tuning of the system in the field.
Currently, the system is being tested prior to the final approval. 959
