RE: Request for Qualifications for AHSC Dakota Tra Bus Stop Improvements Design Request for Qualifications No. 12601691 Mr� Turnipseed:

The City of Fresno has invested significant resources into improving their public transportation system to better serve the community who rely on ADA-compliant infrastructure for daily mobility. Through the AHSC Dakota Transportation Related Amenities (TRA) Bus Stop Improvements Design project, the City is seeking to deliver comprehensive design services for upgraded bus stop facilities throughout Fresno. Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group (Provost & Pritchard) brings a strong track record of delivering ADA- compliant transportation improvements across the Central Valley. We are prepared to support the City of Fresno Department of Transportation/Fresno Area Express (FAX) with full design services, from schematic design through construction support, for multiple bus stop locations, consistent with City standards and accessibility requirements. We are enthusiastic about contributing to a project that enhances accessibility, improves transit infrastructure, and positively impacts the daily lives of Fresno residents.

The Provost & Pritchard team is uniquely qualified to deliver a successful project because of our:
• Specific Project Knowledge and Experience. The Provost & Pritchard team has specific experience providing services to FAX� We recently provided design engineering services for 75 stops in the FAX Standard Bus Stop Layout Design phases A through D which are in various stages of construction and are working with FAX on designing improvements to 80 stops in Phase E-H� 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 Transportation (FAX) staff. This core team is ready to utilize their FAX knowledge and experience gained from previous projects to bring a high level of efficiency, consistency, and quality to the development of this new project�
• 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 has completed a number of urban infill and road improvement projects for 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 H and E 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 high-quality, functional product is a core part of our culture. We prioritize strong client service from project initiation through completion, maintaining consistent communication and responsiveness at every stage. Civil engineering services will be performed by our “in-house” staff, allowing for efficient coordination and quality control. Provost & Pritchard’s commitment to quality and client service will provide the City of Fresno and FAX with confidence as we work to keep the AHSC Dakota TRA Bus Stop Improvements project within scope, on schedule, and within budget.

APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
The City of Fresno Department of Transportation manages an extensive network of bus stops serving Fresno Area Express (FAX) riders across the City and County islands. While many of these stops have been constructed in accordance with City of Fresno Standard Drawings FAX-1 through FAX-4, numerous locations, particularly within older areas, do not meet current standards and are often situated along standard-section streets lacking compliant accessibility features.

This project is intended to address these deficiencies through the design of improvements at approximately 19 bus stop locations, in accordance with the FAX Standard Drawings FAX-1, FAX-2, FAX-3 and FAX-4 provided in the City’s Request for Qualifications. These improvements will enhance ADA accessibility, safety, and overall usability for transit riders. FAX has requested the preparation of site-specific improvement plans suitable for bidding and construction. Given that implementation may occur over multiple years as funding becomes available, it is important that the design approach be both efficient and adaptable to phased construction.

To support this, our team will utilize the City’s standard drawings to the greatest extent possible, promoting consistency, reducing design time, and streamlining construction. Where appropriate, we will also develop supplemental standard details that can be applied across multiple locations to further improve efficiency. Our recent experience implementing the City’s standard drawings also provides us with insight into how to develop solutions when the standards are not compatible with certain site locations.

Provost & Pritchard brings an established working relationship with FAX and City staff, which will be particularly valuable for a multi-year, multi-site project of this nature. We will continue to foster this collaboration to maintain clear communication, expedite coordination, and support timely decision-making throughout the duration of the project.

Our team will work closely with FAX and City personnel to develop complete plans, specifications, right-of-way (ROW) exhibits, and engineer’s opinions of probable construction cost (estimates) for the improvements desired. Our approach is structured to align with the City’s standard agreement and will be carried out in four phases (“Parts”), as outlined in the following sections.

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 19 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 for the project.

City to Provide:

Topographic survey in AutoCAD (.dwg) format of the 19 bus stop locations. The survey should include, at a minimum, Right- of-Way lines, Property lines, curb, gutter, curb drains, flowline, edge of pavement, back of sidewalk, edge of nearest travel lane and/or centerline of street, benches, shelters, signs, trash enclosures, trash receptacles, street trees, approximate drip lines, tree wells, bike racks, newspaper racks, telephones, street lights, storm drain inlets, utility manholes or vaults, utility boxes, utility valves, and curb ramps up to 20 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.) Survey should provide the entire list of control points, city benchmarks, temporary benchmarks, monuments used in providing the topographic survey of each stop. The list should include the benchmark number with its description and USGS elevation based on the datum used. We request that the survey includes information on month and year that the topographic survey was performed. We will use the results of this survey as the basis for our design discussions and plan preparation.

CITY OF FRESNO - FAX AHSC DAKOTA TRA BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN 19 PROVOST & PRITCHARD CONSULTING GROUP
Deliverable:
• Memo with notes of discussion and actions items resulting from this meeting� SD.3 SITE INVESTIGATION
Provost & Pritchard (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 ROW 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 five (5) 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, ROW 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 19 bus stops and for each bus stop location which will include each location’s cost estimate in the matrix.

Deliverables:

CITY OF FRESNO - FAX AHSC DAKOTA TRA BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN 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 anticipated budgets, location, and construction schedule.

Deliverables:
• Memo with notes of discussion and actions items resulting from this meeting� • Matrix and map of all 19 bus stops.

PART 02 – CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE (10 WEEKS)
Although the schedule is given in the RFQ, we believe that the straightforward nature of this project’s proposed improvements does not benefit from an intermediate design phase. Our team’s experience in designing these stops gives us the ability to develop a well thought out 30% initial design submittal. A strong 30% design package reduces the need for a 60% design submittal, and we recommend eliminating this submittal to reduce our overall design fees. If FAX selects our team and would like to include a 60% submittal as part of the scope of work we can then modify our scope and fee to include that submittal.

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 90% and 100% construction documents, and final construction documents.

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.

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 all 19 bus stop locations.
• 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 corresponding to the plans and add 4% annual inflation accordingly 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.

Additional improvements included two curb ramps connecting accessible parking stalls to the main office and new concrete flatwork to enhance accessibility across the site. Mr. Macagba assisted in laying out a trench drain with concrete infill to resolve drainage issues. He helped layout the improvements of two existing drive approaches and associated walkways with level landings at gate entrances and exits.

Land O’Lakes Truck Turnaround, American Inc, Tulare County, California, Design Lead Mr. Macagba led the design of the Land O'Lakes Truck Turnaround; a project aimed at improving onsite access to truck scales without utilizing public roads. He developed preliminary design concepts during the schematic design stage, including two conceptual layouts for truck parking and turnaround areas, and conducted vehicle tracking analysis to verify turning movements. Site visits were performed to assess existing conditions and coordinate with the facility owner to understand operational needs. He collaborated with city staff, the Fire Department, the owner, and the contractor to address accessibility and constructability. After a layout was selected, he advanced the project to the construction document stage, developing the full plan set with city -standard details, cross sections, and grading for all drive approaches, the connecting concrete slab, and the private street reconstruction. Mr. Macagba specified concrete pavement for the reconstructed areas to accommodate heavy freight truck loadings and prepared the building permit for city plan check. The project has successfully been constructed and was complete by late 2025.

Mr. Macagba assisted the Project Manager with site development improvements focused on ADA site accessibility and drainage around an existing building. His responsibilities included assembling the plan set, updating grading annotations, an d supporting the redesign of pavement sections to improve site drainage. He also analyzed existing slopes and drainage patterns of the concrete, identifying areas requiring adjustment. He further evaluated existing curb ramps, and pedestrian routes to determine where concr ete panels and pavers required removal and replacement to achieve compliant slopes and an accessible route. With his assistance in designing multiple ADA -compliant parking stalls and their associated curb ramps, he provided accessible routes to the building's entrances/exits and site features such as a new trash enclosure.
