RE: Request for Qualifications – Fresno Area Express Bus Stop ADA Upgrade Design Phases E-H Ms. Cetti:
The City of Fresno (City) has invested significant resources into improving their public transportation system to better serve the community. This includes this City’s most vulnerable users who are reliant on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant improvements for their daily mobility needs. Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group (Provost & Pritchard) has a proven track record of delivering ADA-compliant improvements in the Central Valley, and we are prepared to help the City of Fresno’s Department of Transportation/Fresno Area Express (FAX) develop ADA upgrade improvements to 80 bus stops located throughout the City. We are excited about contributing to work that impacts the daily lives of many in the local community.
The Provost & Pritchard team is uniquely qualified to deliver a successful project because of our:
• Specific Project Knowledge and Experience. We are currently providing design engineering services for 75 stops in the FAX Standard Bus Stop Layout Design phases A through D which has seen Phase A constructed while phases B, C, and D are nearing construction. We previously provided plan check review services for the Bus Rapid Transportation (BRT) Project, and engineering design services for FAX on the Courthouse Park Transit Shelter project and the FAX Facility Improvements Project� Lastly, we developed City of Fresno Standard P-72 (FAX-1) in coordination with City of Fresno Department of Public Works and FAX staff.
• Local Presence and Staff Resources. We understand that the City is looking for a consultant that they can count on to provide responsive and timely services. For this reason, Provost & Pritchard has chosen Michael Osborn, PE, CASp, LEED AP to serve as Principal-in-Charge. Mr. Osborn is a seasoned engineer who brings nearly 25 years of civil engineering experience to the City. He currently serves as the contract City Engineer for the City of Mendota, and has completed a number of urban infill and road improvement projects for Mendota and the City of Fresno. Michael will oversee Nick Carcha, EIT as Nick serves as the Project Manager for this project. Nick has managed multiple projects in the Central Valley and has worked on numerous other projects during his 10 years in civil engineering. Both Michael and Nick worked to lead the current FAX Standard Bus Stop Layout Design phases A through D, and have acquired valuable knowledge of FAX facilities through this work. Operating out of our Clovis office, Nick will serve as the primary point of contact for the City, working directly with you and your staff as well as working alongside Michael with a project team that has proven project experience on FAX and City of Fresno projects. • Quality In-House Services. Providing a quality, useable product for our clients is part of our culture. A high level of client service is implemented from the very beginning of our projects and applied continuously through to the completion of our work. Civil Engineering services will be provided by “in-house” staff and the Provost & Pritchard team’s commitment to quality and client service will provide the City with an elevated level of confidence throughout the duration of the project as our project team works diligently to keep the Bus Stop ADA improvement project within scope, on schedule, and within budget.

FRESNO AREA EXPRESS BUS STOP ADA UPGRADE DESIGN PHASES E-H
APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
The City of Fresno’s Department of Transportation has a large network of bus stops spread throughout the City and County islands for their Fresno Area Express (FAX) bus service. The bus stops are generally constructed per City of Fresno Standard drawings FAX-1 through FAX-4. However, in the older sections of town, bus stops were not constructed to these standards and are often located along standard-section streets.
While repairs to and maintenance of the bus stops are an on-going routine, this project will improve 80 locations per the City of Fresno FAX Standard Drawings FAX-1, FAX-2, FAX-3 and FAX-4 as included in the City's Request for Qualifications.
FAX has requested that we prepare site specific improvement plans to be used for bidding and construction purposes. The construction of the improvements may take several years, depending on the funding available.
To streamline design and construction, the design will utilize the standard drawings to the greatest extent possible. We will also look for ways to develop project standard details that could be utilized in multiple locations. It is our understanding that existing bus stop furnishings (i.e., benches & shelters) will be relocated to appropriate positions and no new furnishings will be installed.
Provost & Pritchard has a good working relationship with many FAX personnel and, since this project is certain to last multiple years, we will continue to build and strengthen these relationships as this project progresses.
Provost & Pritchard will work with the FAX and City personnel to develop the plans, specifications, right-of-way (ROW) exhibits and opinions of probable construction cost (estimates) for the improvements desired. The following outlines our proposed approach to this project, to be performed in four phases (“Parts”) based on the City’s standard agreement.
PART 01 – SCHEMATIC (30%) DESIGN PHASE (8 WEEKS)
SD.1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management tasks include managing schedules and scope of work; maintaining project records; coordinating with the City and stakeholders; and preparing monthly invoices.
SD.2 MEETING #1 – KICK- OFF MEETING
Following the execution of the contract with the City of Fresno, we will schedule a kick-off meeting to review all of the 80 bus stops locations and determine the anticipated repairs or improvements at each location. We will also discuss an overall schedule and the desired construction schedule of all four (4) phases E-H.
City to Provide:
Topographic survey in AutoCAD (.dwg) format of the 80 bus stop locations. The survey should include, at a minimum, ROW lines, curb, gutter, flowline, edge of pavement, back of sidewalk, edge of nearest travel lane and/or centerline of street, shelters, signs, trash enclosures, street trees, approximate drip lines, tree wells, newspaper racks, telephones, street lights, storm drain inlets, utility manholes or vaults, and curb ramps up to 10 feet behind back of walk. Each bus stop location should be surveyed for at least 150 linear feet, centered on the location of the bus stop (approximately 75 feet in each direction up and down the street.) We will use the results of this survey as the basis for our design discussions and plan preparation.
Deliverable:
• Memo with notes of discussion and actions items resulting from this meeting. 29 PROVOST & PRITCHARD CONSULTING GROUP
FRESNO AREA EXPRESS BUS STOP ADA UPGRADE DESIGN PHASES E-H SD.3 SITE INVESTIGATION
P&P will review the City’s topographic survey and request any additional information.
P&P will contact utility providers to determine if they have facilities in the vicinity of the bus stop locations. Maps and information provided will be reviewed and incorporated into our project base map, as appropriate.
P&P will review the surveyed locations along with the list of issues identified in our first meeting and identify any issues that were previously unknown, such issues would most likely be accessibility (ADA) compliance or surface drainage issues.
P&P’s in house Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team will be utilized to help log and organize site visit information. The GIS Online Map will be developed by P&P’s GIS team for use on this FAX project. Access to the GIS Online Map will be provided to FAX for reference of current bus stop site conditions.
For any bus stops that need ROW or easement acquisition, we will prepare exhibits for anticipated affected bus stops shown at a 1” = 5’ scale for use by city ROW staff to communicate impacts to property owners and other city staff to conduct ROW acquisition work. We will coordinate with FAX and city ROW staff as needed to assist in the right-of-way acquisition process, if necessary.
Deliverables:
• Bus Stop Improvements matrix with the location ID number, street address/location, council district, direction of route at location, and notes of the issues we found at each bus stop location. • GIS Online Map of Site Visit photos and notes of the issues we found at each bus stop location. • If necessary, right-of-way acquisition exhibits shown at 1” = 5’ for each bus stop requiring acquisition. For cost estimating purposes, up to twenty (20) exhibits are assumed.
SD.4 MEETING #2 – REVIEW OF ISSUES AND UPGRADES
We will meet with FAX personnel to discuss any issues that were observed that were not previously identified at each bus stop location. Key potential impacts to utilities, right-of-way, and properties will be discussed. This meeting will also give FAX the opportunity to identify any upgrades that they would like to have made at each bus stop location.
Deliverable:
• Memo with notes of discussion and actions items resulting from this meeting.
SD.5 PRELIMINARY PLANS AND OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST Provost & Pritchard will use the feedback that we received during Meeting #2 to prepare preliminary improvement plans for each bus stop location. The preliminary plans will be prepared on a City of Fresno 24”x36” title block “B” per P-17 and generally consist of:
• Generic Cover sheet showing each bus stop location on a map of the City • General Notes, legend and abbreviations
• Plan-view sheets showing each bus stop at a scale of 1”=5’ showing the individual bus stop location, existing topography, proposed limits of work and repairs, demolition, acquisition (if necessary), relocations, replacements, upgrades and entire proposed FAX-1 layout with all amenities for reference only.
We will also prepare a summarized preliminary opinion of probable construction cost for all 80 bus stops and for each bus stop location which will include each location’s cost estimate in the matrix. This will allow us to easily target bus stop locations by geographic location, council district, ease of construction, priority and/or cost criteria to help phase the projects.
Deliverables:
• Preliminary plans and opinion of probable construction cost in PDF format • PDF of the Bus Stop Improvements Matrix�
30 PROVOST & PRITCHARD CONSULTING GROUP
FRESNO AREA EXPRESS BUS STOP ADA UPGRADE DESIGN PHASES E-H SD.6 MEETING #3
The last meeting of this phase will be to review preliminary design plans and opinions of probable construction costs for each location. We will work with FAX personnel to determine how the locations can be phased based on priority, anticipated budgets, location, and construction schedule.
Deliverables:
• Memo with notes of discussion and actions items resulting from this meeting. • Matrix and map of phasing plan showing the four (4) phases E-H.
PART 02 – CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE (12 WEEKS)
CD.1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management tasks include managing schedules and scope of work; maintaining project records; coordinating with the City and stakeholders; and preparing monthly invoices.
City to Provide:
Written “Notice to Proceed” per the agreement with the City.
CD.2 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS (PS&E)
Provost & Pritchard will review and incorporate the comments received from the City on the preliminary submittal to prepare 95% and 100% construction documents, and final construction documents for each of the four proposed phases E-H.
These documents will define the limits of work and scope of asphalt, curb and/or gutter, and sidewalk to be repaired, replaced and/or upgraded, city right-of-way acquisition(s), and any easement(s) required. The plans will be in English units and prepared on a City of Fresno 24”x36” title block “B” per P-17. Technical specifications will be in CSI three-part format and incorporated in the City’s bid specification template.
For each phase (E-H), the following will be included in the construction documents submittal:
• Cover sheet with specific project public works file, project identification, fund, and organization numbers , and map showing bus stop locations for each specific phase (E-H). • General Notes, legend and abbreviations
• Plan view sheets showing each bus stop at a scale of 1”=5’, including a demolition plan view, proposed improvements plan view, and the individual bus stop location
• Details and Cross-sections as necessary
We will update the opinion of probable construction cost to separate into the phases corresponding to the plans and add 4% annual inflation accordingly to each phase depending on which fiscal year they will fall in.
We will prepare the bid item list, explanation of bid items, and the technical specifications for inclusion into Section VII of the City’s Specification booklet.
For any bus stops requiring right-of-way or easement acquisition identified from the previous preliminary submittal and from city right-of-way staff, finalized exhibits will be developed for city staff to negotiate agreements and/or right-of-way acquisition with affected property owners.
Deliverables:
• Final plans for each of the four (4) phases E-H in PDF; • Opinions of probably construction cost for each of the four (4) phases E-H in PDF format; and • Bid Item list, Explanation of Bid Items, and Section VII technical specifications, as necessary, in MS Word (�docx) format� • If necessary, final right-of-way acquisition exhibits for each bus stop, as required.
