1.1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN
The City of Fullerton is requesting Proposals from qualified consultants and firms for federally funded project HSIPL-5133(054) ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR
ORANGETHORPE AVENUE & HARBOR BOULEVARD TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND SAFETY LIGHTING ENHANCEMENT PROJECT. This project is funded by federal funds, as such, qualified proposers shall be familiar and comply with any federal requirements that may be imposed on this project. Proposals are due no later than 4:00 pm on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) provides information on the City of Fullerton, the required scope of services, the consultant/contractor selection process, and the minimum information that must be included in the RFQ Response.
The City is seeking to award one (1) professional services agreement with the top firm selected to perform required scope of services based on a number of qualifying and determinable factors, herein outlined in this RFQ. Proposals will be evaluated on the overall best value to the City based on firm’s qualifications and experience, ability to perform scope of services and implementation plan, cost proposal, and any other criteria set out herein this RFQ. The City shall be the sole judge of the qualifications and services and reserves the right to select firm(s) on any basis or weighted criteria that is in the best interests of the City.
1.2. BACKGROUND
The City of Fullerton is located 22 miles southeast of metropolitan Los Angeles, in the center of North Orange County with a population of 140,054 residents. Fullerton is a fullservice, general law city that was incorporated in 1904. Fullerton is renowned for its unique mix of residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and cultural environments and is known for being the “Education Community”. During the school year, the population grows by 60,000 people with an influx of students and staff from California State University Fullerton (CSUF), Hope University, Fullerton College, and Ketchum School of Optometry.
Fullerton has 52 City parks, a museum, a cultural center, a public library, a golf course, and 29 miles of recreational trails. Fullerton provides an outstanding quality of life for both residents and businesses. At 22.4 square miles, Fullerton is also one of the largest cities in Orange County by area and is the sixth most populous.
The City has been awarded $3,218,400 through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12 Grant, to help fund the completion of Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard Traffic Signal & Safety Lighting Enhancement Project. The total project budget, including the local match share, is estimated at $3,576,000. The federal funds will support the design engineering, construction, and construction management services.
The aim of this project is to improve safety at high-risk collision areas by implementing data driven strategies. This project focuses on safety improvements at six major intersections along the Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard corridors with significant collision patterns as identified in the City's Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). The two corridors provide connectivity to neighboring cities, including Buena Park, Anaheim, La Habra and Placentia, while also providing direct connection to Interstate 5, State Route 90 and 91, Fullerton Park & Ride, local schools and colleges, industrial zones and commercial centers. Systematic collision patterns were identified at various locations along both corridors. Based on comprehensive collision analysis, the project locations rank among the top eight intersections citywide with the highest number of total collisions.
Between 2019 and 2024, the project intersections and roadway segments experienced over 320 reported collisions, including four fatalities and five severe injuries. These locations have consistently represented some of the highest concentrations of fatal and severe injury crashes in the City for several years. The following six intersections are included in this project:
• Orangethorpe Ave. at Harbor Blvd.
• Orangethorpe Ave. at Euclid St.
• Orangethorpe Ave. at Brookhurst Rd.
• Orangethorpe Ave. at Magnolia Ave.
• Harbor Blvd. at Commonwealth Ave.
• Harbor Blvd. at Chapman Ave.
Engineering staff performed a field investigation at each location to observe traffic patterns, existing traffic controls, lighting, equipment, sight distance, and other features.
The field investigation revealed the need to implement various traffic signal and street lighting improvements at the six intersections. Improvements at the intersections include installation of reflective backplates, additional vehicle indications for through movements, proper location of left-turn vehicle indications, installation of protected left turn phases, additional safety lighting, and upgraded signing and striping.
The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) provides guidance on the location and number of signal indications given the approach geometry and signal phasing. A high-speed six-lane arterial, such as Orangethorpe Avenue, should have ample signal indications to provide enhanced visibility of signal operations for approaching traffic. Heavy pedestrian and bicycle use areas, such as Harbor Boulevard, should have adequate safety lighting to allow improved awareness of vulnerable users at intersection crossings and encourage the use of surrounding land uses during the evening hours.
The proposed improvements will enhance safety and visibility at intersections along Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard through key upgrades such as additional and properly positioned traffic signal indications, protected left-turn phases and improved intersection lighting. These measures are designed to improve visibility, reduce conflicts, and strengthen multi-modal safety for all roadway users. By addressing intersections with the highest collision rates, the project will create safer and more efficient travel corridors that support connectivity across Fullerton.

3. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Only those consultants with qualified experience as it relates to the services requested in this solicitation will be considered during the evaluation process. Consultant staff assigned to execute the scope of services must have relevant experience in providing the necessary services as described under the scope of services. All personnel assigned to complete the scope of work shall possess appropriate certifications or registrations as required by state and local agencies.
4. SCOPE OF SERVICES
4.1. Scope of Work and Services
The Consultant shall prepare a Scope of Work that includes all tasks to deliver a complete project. The selected Consultant will report to, and operate under, the direction of the City of Fullerton Public Works staff, to provide professional engineering services to the City.
Items of work not specifically excluded in the proposal, but required for a complete project, are assumed included in Consultant’s Scope of Work. The Project Scope of Work includes, but is not limited to:
Task 1: Project Management, Coordination, & AdministrationKick-off Meeting:
The City will meet with the Consultant to discuss the overall project scope. The agenda will include, at a minimum, the project’s goals, objectives, tasks, timeline, expectations of the City, and grant requirements. The Project Kick-off Meeting will be led by the Consultant. All key staff will be required to attend. Detailed meeting minutes shall be provided and distributed for comments within two (2) days of the meeting.
Project Design Team (PDT) Meetings:
The Consultant Project Manager will conduct collaborative monthly project design team meetings. All parties will work together to monitor project progress, prepare for next steps, discuss completed tasks, conduct problem-solving, and ensure the project remains within the designated timeframe as well as within budget. Detailed meeting minutes shall be provided and distributed for comments within two (2) days of each meeting.
Schedule:
Upon receipt of a Notice-to-Proceed from the City, the Consultant Project Manager (PM) shall prepare a detailed project schedule to be used by the project team. This schedule shall be presented to the City’s PM for comment and be updated on an as-needed basis throughout the design process.
Communication:
The Consultant PM will work closely with the City, stakeholders, and sub-consultants to uphold the project schedule and budget. The City strongly believes in proactive critical thinking and communication to minimize project delays. To avoid any unwanted surprises, the selected consultant shall be completely transparent and proactive in dealing with any issues so the City can make knowledgeable decisions.
Quality Control:
A key factor to project success is accountability. The selected consultant, chosen for their expertise and qualifications, will be accountable and responsible for delivering the project to completion. Every deliverable shall go through a thorough quality control/quality assurance process prior to being submitted to the City for review. Each subsequent submittal shall have a response to comments included for reference. Any deliverable that contains substantive errors for omissions will be rejected. No additional compensation shall be provided for resubmittals after poor quality deliverables.
For design plans, the City prefers to utilize Bluebeam Revu Software for all QA/QC activities. This software allows for paperless review, simultaneous commenting, cloudbased record keeping, and clean response to comments. The Consultant shall be responsible to control tracking tools for this project.
Task 2: Caltrans Funding AssistanceCity will be responsible to request and consolidate required information and documentation, and prepare and submit applicable certifications and authorization requests forms and documents to Caltrans. However, the selected design consultant will be responsible for providing all necessary data, maps, estimates, technical analyses, and other project-related information required to complete the project in accordance with Caltrans’ Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). This includes, but is not limited to:
Environmental:
Environmental clearance is a key task that defines the full scope for the Project, assesses proposed improvements and their ecological effects on the surrounding community, and contributes to the preparation of the subsequent design and construction phases. The Preliminary Environmental Studies (PES) is the initial screening document used by Caltrans to assess the Project’s impact on the surrounding local and regional environment.
To provide a strong basis in the preparation of all environmental documentation required for environmental clearance of the Project, the environmental phase will begin with data collection of all available Project information.
City shall prepare the PES, including scheduling a site visit with the Project Team to examine and develop an accurate assessment of the area. The site shall be documented in the Roadway Data Sheets as required in the Environmental submittal to Caltrans.
The Consultant will provide items required for the completion of environmental documentation. The required data largely includes awarded grant application work products, such as project information, scope, location, and proposed maps. Other information not typically required for grant applications but required by Caltrans, such as flood maps, roadway data, cross sections, and miscellaneous content, as well as those items available online will be researched, prepared, and collected by the Consultant. This information shall be used to develop the PES. Based on the project scope identified in the RFQ, the Consultant shall include any anticipated technical studies into their proposal.
The culmination of this work will assist in the determination of the potential for Project impact. Under the three NEPA Classes of Action under which a federal-aid project may be processed, we anticipate a Categorical Exclusion determination will suffice to meet this requirement; however, the Consultant shall reassess this initial assessment. In tandem with the NEPA Categorical Exclusion, CEQA mandates that a Categorical Exemption be prepared and filed with the State. The Consultant will prepare and submit both documents to comply with CEQA and NEPA requirements.
Right-of-Way Certification:
Once the environmental package is approved, the City shall prepare and submit the Rightof-Way Certification Form (Exhibit 13) to Caltrans for review and approval. This form identifies ownership of right-of-way and any potential impacts, acquisitions, and easements due to the proposed improvements. The Consultant shall prepare all necessary maps, applications, permits to complete the right-of-way certification process as outlined in Caltrans Local Assistance Manual.
Part of the right-of-way certification include appropriate utility noticing and agreements.
The Consultant shall prepare a Notice to Owner – Local Assistance (Exhibit 14-D) for all utility agencies that may be impacted as part of this project. The Consultant shall distribute the notice as appropriate and collect required signatures. Subsequently, the Consultant shall prepare a Utility Agreement (Exhibit 14-F) for the same utility agencies for review and signature. The Consultant shall prepare a log to track all required utility notices and agreements are property executed.
City shall collect the above-mentioned information from the Consultant to prepare the R/W Certification application to Caltrans.
Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction (E-76):
City shall prepare and submit the Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction (E-76; Exhibit 3-D & 3-E). This document summarizes the previous findings and funding allocations based on the original grant application. This process will also support required supplemental language in the specification. As such, the Consultant will provide all the necessary documents and information required from the City to obtain the project’s E-76.
Final Submittal/Closure & Auditors:
Federal requirements designate that agencies receiving federal funds maintain records of all paperwork, including but not limited to all approved certifications, noticing, E-76s, signed master and supplemental agreements, invoice submittals, progress reports, receipts, amendments, exhibits, transmittals, and all other relevant documents pertaining to the funded project. Ensuring compliance with these requirements is crucial for the timely reimbursement of funds, including final submittal and auditing purposes. To this end, the Consultant shall be responsible for maintaining all paperwork in both electronic and hard copy format.
Based on the City’s experience, it is imperative all paperwork be organized in large binders by phase, tabbed/filed by date, and most importantly, arranged in a manner consistent with Caltrans’ administrative organizational procedures ensuring ease of access and rapid response to Caltrans and Federal agency inquiries. The electronic copy shall be arranged and organized consistent with the hard copy. The Consultant shall provide Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) by diligently reviewing and documenting each item in a records management log. The records management log will indicate the date, document, originator, and modifier for any changes made to the binder throughout the project. This system will ensure precise depictions of the Project from start to finish and allow for an accurate and complete paper trail to be established. Moreover, the system will allow the maintenance of all data and information which will inform the final submittal, closeout, and audit.
Upon final closeout of the project, the Consultant shall submit a copy of all files and binders to the City. The Consultant shall be responsible for remaining in contact with the project for a minimum of five (5) years after final closure is submitted. The minimum five (5) year time limit involves the possible review with auditors. The Consultant shall be responsible for meeting with auditors, including the provision of documentation and answering of questions with respect to the project’s federal process and invoicing.
Task 3: Preliminary EngineeringRecords Research:
The City shall provide all available City records within the project area. The Consultant shall obtain any other record drawings and documents relevant to the project location.
Record drawings and documents can include, but are not limited to existing improvement plans, topographic maps, assessor maps, centerline ties, corner records, as-built plans, utility plans, traffic counts, previous traffic studies, etc.
Utility Verification & Coordination:
City shall request utility maps from the utility companies and will provide all received maps and documents to the Consultant.
The City shall provide a list of contacts for utility companies with facilities in the project limits. The Consultant shall coordinate with the City to send notification to all utility companies within the project limits at the 60%, and 100% design stage for review to determine any possible conflict with proposed improvements. The Consultant shall work closely with utility companies to resolve any conflict prior to final design.

As needed, the Consultant shall coordinate with Southern California Edison (SCE) for new and/or modified service points of connection (POC) and design requirements.
Survey Engineering:
The Consultant team shall complete a detailed topographic survey of the project area, including ground survey sufficient to accurately design and construct all proposed improvements.
The Consultant team shall provide detailed right-of-way information based on the available right-of-way maps, assessor parcels maps, easement information, and legal documentation within the project limits. The team shall develop a digital file using AutoCAD containing center lines, right-of-way, property lines, Assessor Parcel Numbers, owners, and easements within the project limits. The file will be referenced into all relevant construction documents and clearly labeled to identify proposed work that encroaches into private property.
Site Evaluation/ Investigation:
The Consultant team shall take the survey and conduct a comprehensive site investigation, walking the entire project to investigate site conditions, needed repairs, non-ADA compliant improvements, verify utility locations, and note other typical features not included on the provided survey. Photographs shall be taken throughout the project area for use during design and for pre-construction reference. At project signalized intersections, the team shall collect and research all available records pertaining to each project intersection, including traffic signal, traffic signal interconnect, bus priority communication plans, controller cabinet inventory, and other crucial information.
Base Map Preparation:
Utilizing available information, collected materials, survey, and field investigation data, the Consultant shall prepare a base plan(s) for the project. The base plan is the backbone to accurately design proposed improvements. At this stage of the process a thorough QA/QC review shall be performed on the base plan to ensure accuracy prior to design. The base plan shall show all existing conditions, including but not limited to, centerline, right-of-way, relevant existing street improvements, utilities, landscape, and existing traffic controls. The base plan shall also have a high-resolution aerial image in the background to illustrate the location of existing improvements relative to buildings and private property features.
Task 4: Preliminary Design
The Consultant shall prepare a 30% preliminary design exhibit for public viewing. A significant element of the conceptual design will be to identify opportunities and constraints within the project limits. The goal is to clearly highlight the project’s design features and identify the associated impacts to existing infrastructure. The conceptual plans shall be overlaid on an aerial image to offer enhanced perspective of the project limits and design features.
In addition, the Consultant shall prepare a conservative preliminary cost estimate based on the concept plan. This will be an important tool to facilitate discussion to refine the plan due to budget limitations.
Preliminary Design Site Walk:
A site walk shall be performed with City staff, sub-consultants, and applicable stake holders to identify project opportunities, constraints, and challenges based on the initial concept design. We encourage a collaborative dialog to identify the project “must haves” and to brainstorm solutions on how to achieve the City’s vision.
Refined Preliminary Design:
The Consultant shall refine the preliminary design and cost estimate based on feedback from the site walk. The refined concept shall be provided to the City for final review prior to presenting to the public and key stakeholders.
Design Presentations:
Consultant shall present the 30% preliminary plan to key stakeholders, including City staff and the Transportation & Circulation Commission (TCC). Consultant shall gather feedback from all stakeholders and make appropriate revisions.
Preferred Concept (30% Design):
The Consultant shall refine the concept and cost estimate based on feedback from the various Commissions, Committees, and stakeholders. The preferred concept shall be provided to the City for final review prior to moving into final design.
Task 5: Plans, Specifications, & Estimate (PS&E)Plans:
The Consultant shall prepare all construction plans, including, but not limited to, street improvements, drainage, lighting/electrical, traffic signal, irrigation, hardscape/landscape, structural, signing/striping, and traffic control. The plans shall be prepared at the appropriate scale for the respective discipline and include detailed general notes, construction notes, dimensions, annotations, references, etc. to clearly demonstrate the intended construction activity. All plans shall be prepared to City standards and requirements.
Cost Estimate:
The Consultant shall provide the City with a probable cost of construction concurrent with each submittal. The cost shall be itemized and display anticipated bid items, quantity of material, and unit cost for each item.
Specifications:
The City will provide the Consultant with sample specifications, and Consultant shall compile and assemble special provisions in the format of the City of Fullerton standards.
The special provisions will serve as a supplement to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC) and Caltrans Standard Specifications, latest edition.
Submittal and Review:
The Consultant shall compile and submit the PS&E at the 60%, 90%, and Final stage to the City for review and comment. All comments shall be compiled into a response matrix to ensure all applicable comments are addressed. The response matrix shall be provided to the City along with each subsequent submittal for reference.
Task 6: Bid & Construction Support, as neededThe Consultant team may be asked to provide the following on-call services to the City:
• Attendance at pre-bid meeting
• Responding to bidders’ questions
• Preparing addenda as necessary
• Attendance at pre-construction meeting

Subject: Engineering Design Services for Orangethorpe Avenue & Harbor Boulevard Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting
Enhancement Project (HSIPL-5133(054))
Dear Ms. Slouka:
The City of Fullerton’s (City) Engineering Design Services for Orangethorpe Avenue & Harbor Boulevard Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project is a critical investment to address safety issues at six of the top intersections with the highest number of total collisions in the City. By addressing these conditions, the City will provide safer and more efficient travel corridors that support connectivity across the City.
Cannon is more than a transportation specialist—we are a trusted partner in shaping communities through innovative solutions. Our approach includes design opportunities, recommendations and alternatives, and lessons learned from working on similar projects. We will implement and strictly enforce QA/QC protocols and track progress using a structured project schedule aligned with funding milestones.
I, Giuseppe Canzonieri, PE will lead this effort as the Project Manager with 20 years of civil and traffic engineering experience. I have prepared numerous projects involving the design of traffic signals, signing & striping, street lighting, roadway and intersection, and worksite traffic control design, and providing construction specifications and cost estimating. I have served as principal-in-charge, project manager, and project engineer on several civil and traffic engineering design projects for cities throughout Southern California and believe my well-rounded project experience will benefit the City of Fullerton.
Gary Solsona, PE, will serve in a supporting role, bringing over 20 years of experience working with the City of Fullerton.
His familiarity with the City’s standards and requirements, along with established working relationships, will support Giuseppe and the team throughout delivery of the project.
In addition to our in-house capabilities, our team is supported by six specialized subconsultants: Avant Garde (funding administration), KDM Meridian, Inc. (survey), BGB Design Group (landscape architecture), T2 Utility Engineers (utility investigation), DKS Associates (signal timing), and ECorp (environmental technical studies). Each firm brings deep subject matter expertise and plays a critical role in delivering the full scope of services outlined in the RFP. We have collaborated with these partners for over 15 years, establishing strong, dependable working relationships built on technical excellence, responsiveness, and consistent delivery.
We are ready to deliver a complete, buildable design that meets the City’s vision and funding requirements. On behalf of the Cannon team, we welcome this opportunity to continue working with the City of Fullerton and are ready to commence services immediately.
Sincerely,
Giuseppe Canzonieri, PE

Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 9 Qualifications & Experience 2
Project Understanding
The City of Fullerton is advancing the Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12, with the primary objective of reducing fatal and severe injury collisions at six of the City’s highest-risk intersections. As identified in the City’s Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP), these corridors serve as critical regional connectors linking Interstate 5, SR-90, and SR-91, while supporting access to major educational institutions, commercial centers, and industrial areas. Between 2019 and 2024, these intersections experienced over 320 collisions, including multiple fatalities and severe injuries, underscoring the urgent need for targeted, data-driven safety improvements.
This project focuses on implementing proven systemic safety countermeasures, including enhanced traffic signal visibility, protected left-turn phasing, improved signal indication placement, upgraded signing and striping, and expanded intersection lighting. These improvements are intended to address documented collision patterns such as angle collisions, turning conflicts, and reduced nighttime visibility, while also improving conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists along heavily traveled corridors like Harbor Boulevard. The project locations are as follows:
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Harbor Boulevard
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Euclid Street
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Brookhurst Road
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Magnolia Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Commonwealth Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Chapman Avenue
The City is seeking an engineering consultant that can deliver a high-quality PS&E package, support the City in navigating Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) processes, including environmental clearance, rightof-way certification, and preparation of documentation required for E-76 authorization, and support the City during construction.
Project Approach
Cannon understands that the success of a design project is driven by the expertise of the project team, a clear understanding of the project’s key challenges, and the ability to consistently deliver high-quality, responsive service to the City. Our team has conducted preliminary research and site reconnaissance of the project corridor and prepared the following discussion to outline our approach, identify opportunities for safety and operational improvements, apply lessons learned from previous similar projects, highlight cost-effective design strategies, and anticipate potential project challenges.
In-House Expertise
One of the unique characteristics of Cannon is that we provide civil and traffic design expertise under one roof. Our engineers are taught the importance of surrounding infrastructure, drainage, utilities, ADA standards, pedestrian push button location, and crosswalk alignments when designing a project. We do not have to rely on a subconsultant to perform constant design iterations on a curb ramp because it does not provide adequate space between the ramp and pedestrian push button. Ultimately, having both civil and traffic design services in-house will provide the City with a more efficient project team that allows for time and budget savings. On a safety improvement focused project such as this one, below are some of the design considerations our engineers will be focusing on:
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 10 • Will existing traffic signal pole and/or pedestrian push button locations be per CA MUTCD and ADA standards when constructing a new curb ramp?
• Does the existing/proposed infrastructure near or within the curb return allow for ADA access? • Will the new curb ramps require the reconstruction or removal of existing paver crosswalks due to alignment issues? • Will the reconstruction of the curb ramps have a negative impact on an adjacent business doorway? Are we creating any new vertical elements at the back of sidewalk that will not provide ADA access to a business’ doorway? Lessons Learned
Through delivery of similar HSIP and corridor safety improvement projects, Cannon has developed a set of practical lessons learned that directly inform our design approach for this project. These insights help reduce risk, improve constructability, and control costs while maintaining compliance with various requirements.
Utility Coordination and Conflict Resolution
Utility conflicts are one of the most common sources of delay and cost escalation on traffic signal design projects. To mitigate this risk, we will take a proactive approach to utility investigation. For underground utilities, we will perform record research by sending out notifications requesting as-builts from utility companies (SUE Quality Level D). During the preliminary phase of the project we will also submit a DigAlert request to have the corners marked out prior to our field investigation or topographic survey so we can verify the utility markings with our records research. In addition, we always recommend to our clients that we perform utility potholing (x-trench or 12” diameter pothole) during the design phase of the project (SUE Quality Level A). This proactive approach reduces uncertainty associated with incomplete or conflicting utility information, including horizontal alignment, depth, and undocumented facilities, and reduces redesign and change orders during construction.
Through our experience delivering projects in the City of Fullerton, we have observed several recurring utility and subsurface conditions that directly influence design and constructability. These include the following:
• Shallow existing utilities, as well as more recent shallow fiber optic (under 12” cover) installations located at or near the edge of gutter. It is important the contractor is aware of this when reconstructing curb ramps or boring/trenching for conduit. • Underlying Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement
beneath asphalt concrete (AC), which can affect the feasibility of directional boring versus trenching for proposed conduit installation.
Overhead utilities are often overlooked during utility coordination due to the primary focus on underground utilities; however, their coordination is equally critical because obtaining information from Southern California Edison (SCE) can require significant lead time, required clearance envelopes must be carefully evaluated, and pole or structure designs may need to be customized to accommodate existing overhead facilities. We measure conductor heights, identify potential clearance constraints, and coordinate directly with Southern California Edison (SCE) to confirm line voltages and applicable clearance requirements. This helps confirm that proposed signal and lighting improvements are compatible with existing infrastructure and reduces the risk of redesign at the 90% or even 100% design stage due to clearance or service conflicts.

Cannon’s recent City of Fullerton Raymond Avenue
Rehabilitation Project (CIP 44085).
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 11 Pole Placement and ADA Considerations
Traffic signal pole placement must carefully balance
operational needs with pedestrian accessibility. Our
experience has shown that early attention to ADA
clearances—particularly along constrained sidewalks—can prevent costly redesign. Where appropriate and acceptable to the City, we evaluate the use of prior Caltrans Standard Plans (2015 and prior) for traffic signal standards to gain additional usable clearance in tight conditions with smaller base plates and foundations, while still maintaining
compliance with accessibility requirements. This nuanced approach can be critical in retrofit environments with limited right-of-way.
Stakeholder Awareness
Urban corridors, especially downtown areas such as Harbor Boulevard at Commonwealth Avenue, often include adjacent businesses with visibility-sensitive features such as signage, outdoor dining areas, and architectural elements. We proactively evaluate potential conflicts with overhanging canopies, signage, and storefront visibility during design. Avoiding obstruction of business signage—particularly for restaurants and retail—helps address stakeholder concerns and supports smoother project delivery. For example, as shown in the photos below taken during our preliminary field review, overhanging structures and an address sign at the northwest corner of Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth will need to be considered during the project’s design phase.

design project.

Crosswalks
Existing paver crosswalks require careful coordination with proposed curb ramp improvements. Our approach is to
design curb ramps and gutter transitions to preserve the existing paver crosswalks where feasible by maintaining edge of gutter elevations and limiting the extent of
disturbance. Where roadway cross slopes are less than
5%, this strategy can often eliminate the need for full reconstruction of the paver crosswalk, resulting in cost savings and reduced construction impacts.
Reducing Construction Impacts to Businesses
and Pedestrians
Based on our experience delivering projects in active
corridors, Cannon proactively evaluates potential impacts to businesses during construction—particularly in high
pedestrian activity areas such as downtown and along major arterials—and incorporates mitigation strategies directly into the contract documents. We will work with the City to establish limits on how many curb ramps can be constructed simultaneously in high-traffic pedestrian zones to maintain safe and continuous access. To further reduce disruption, we can structure the specifications to allow for two Notices to Proceed (NTPs): an initial NTP for procurement of long-lead materials and equipment (signal poles are minimum 6 months), followed by a second NTP for construction activities once materials are in hand. Additionally, we will coordinate with the City to define appropriate construction hours based on location, balancing contractor productivity with the need to reduce impacts to adjacent businesses, residents, and peak activity periods.
Addressing Design Constraints with Practical Solutions
Cannon approaches traffic signal design with the understanding that early identification and proactive mitigation of constraints is critical to maintaining project momentum, controlling costs, and avoiding issues and contractor change orders during construction. Based on our experience with similar HSIP and intersection improvement projects, we anticipate several common challenges related to right-of-way limitations, ADA compliance, utility conflicts, and signal infrastructure constraints. Our approach focuses on addressing these issues during design—when solutions are most efficient and cost-effective—rather than deferring them to construction.
Constrained Sidewalk and Curb Return Areas
At locations where sidewalk width is limited due to right-ofway constraints, we will evaluate opportunities to tighten curb return radii to increase usable area at the corner.
Because some of these locations already require curb
ramp reconstruction, these adjustments can typically be implemented with minimal additional cost while achieving ADA compliance and accommodating required signal
infrastructure. For example, at the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Chapman Avenue, the radius of all four corners is 35-feet and sidewalk width on the northern corners varies 6- to 7-feet. During the 30% design stage of the project we will perform Autoturn analysis to evaluate the feasibility of reducing the radii (where needed) to 25- or 30-feet.

Chapman Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 13 Detailed Curb Ramp Design to Reduce Uncertainty
While it is common practice with some Cities to design a curb ramp by just calling out the appropriate standard plan case/type and approximate curb ramp layouts using limited data (e.g., curb heights and cross slopes), this approach can introduce uncertainty that leads to field adjustments, added construction costs, non-compliance, and potential delays.
Cannon instead develops detailed curb ramp designs at
signalized intersections during PS&E. This provides greater confidence in ramp geometry, meets ADA compliance, and
allows for precise coordination with signal pole placement— eliminating conflicts and redesign during construction.
Signal Equipment and Case Loading Constraints
Several intersections require additional vehicle signal heads to improve visibility for through movements. While reusing existing signal poles and mast arms is preferred, structural (case loading) limitations may restrict this option. In addition, adding signal heads can reduce available space for street name signage. In these cases, we will evaluate alternatives such as relocating street name signs to a clamp on 8-foot mast arm to maintain compliance without compromising functionality. Other agencies like County of Los Angeles Public Works, City of South Gate, and City of Montebello have used this approach in signal design. Based on our field review, we may be able to implement this on select signal poles along Orangethorpe Avenue at Brookhurst Road, Euclid Street, and Harbor Boulevard.
Overhead Utility Conflicts
Existing overhead utilities—primarily communication lines with relatively small clearance requirements—may still
present conflicts when upgrading from Type 1 standards
to Type 15TS standards. To address this, we will evaluate multiple design solutions, including reducing pole height, shortening luminaire mast arms, using a straight luminaire mast arm, or reconfiguring lighting by retaining existing standards and utilizing dual-arm configurations on
adjacent poles. This flexible approach allows us to add safety lighting to the intersection while avoiding costly relocations.
Underground Utility Conflicts
Replacement of signal standards to accommodate longer
mast arms and improved signal visibility will likely require larger foundations, increasing the risk of underground
utility conflicts. To mitigate this, we recommend confirming conditions through targeted potholing at proposed pole
locations. If conflicts are identified, we will evaluate solutions such as designing custom foundations, utilizing alternative (smaller diameter) standard foundations where permissible, or implementing non-conventional configurations such as reverse mast arms from opposing corners. These strategies allow us to maintain design intent while adapting to existing constraints.

Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 14 By proactively addressing these potential
challenges during design, Cannon minimizes
risk, confirms constructability, and provides
a smoother transition from design to
construction.
Opportunities for Enhanced
Safety, Consistency, and
Urban Design
Beyond addressing collision patterns
and operational deficiencies, this project
presents an opportunity for the City to
provide consistency and modern aesthetics
of key intersections—particularly along
the Harbor Boulevard corridor at the
gateways to the downtown district. Cannon
approaches these opportunities with a
balance of safety performance and contextsensitive design, so that improvements not only meet HSIP objectives but also
contribute to a cohesive and maintainable streetscape.
Downtown Gateway Consistency
(Harbor Blvd at Commonwealth Avenue and Chapman Avenue) The intersections at Harbor/Commonwealth and Harbor/Chapman function as key points into the City’s downtown district, yet currently lack visual and functional consistency. Variations exist in crosswalk treatments, curb ramp materials (pavers vs. concrete), bollard usage, signal equipment, and overall streetscape palette. This project provides an opportunity to establish a unified design language that reinforces the identity of the downtown area. Below are variations of three different hardscaping at Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue:
Example of an X-trench pothole for a 26-4-100 signal standard (left) and a 12” diameter pothole (right)
Southeast corner Southwest corner
Northeast corner
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 15 To support this, we have included a landscape architect subconsultant (Art Guy at BGB Design Group) to guide hardscape design, providing compatibility with the existing character while improving cohesion. While decorative materials such as brick and pavers can enhance aesthetics, we will work with the City to evaluate costs during the preliminary design phase.
Modernization of Traffic Signal Infrastructure
The existing green signal poles along Harbor Boulevard are outdated, difficult to retrofit, and do not reflect current design standards. These intersections provide an opportunity to modernize signal infrastructure using current standards. While Caltrans standard poles offer a cost-effective baseline, the City may also consider aesthetic enhancements—such as painting the poles, decorative pole attachments from vendors (e.g., mast arm shrouds or base covers), or pedestrian level lighting attachments—to achieve a more customized and context-sensitive appearance consistent with the downtown environment.
Visco is one of many manufacturers that provides decorative signal pole bases (as well as custom poles.
This is an example at the intersection of Azusa Avenue & 9th Street, City of Azusa.
Targeted Intersection Enhancements – Harbor Blvd & Commonwealth Ave Cannon has conducted a preliminary review of this intersection to illustrate the level of attention and value we bring to design:
• East Leg Crosswalk Realignment
The existing crosswalk includes an irregular angular alignment, likely introduced to reduce reconstruction during prior roadway widening. This configuration is nonstandard and may create confusion for pedestrians, particularly those with accessibility needs. We recommend realigning the crosswalk with a direct, high-visibility configuration, including removal of the existing paver treatment, placement of new asphalt, and installation of a standard high-visibility striping pattern to improve clarity and safety. • Southeast Corner – Right-of-Way Constraints and ADA Improvements The existing curb ramp is non-compliant and constrained by limited right-of-way. A conventional reconstruction will require a retaining curb and potentially handrails, which will avoid a tripping hazard, but could introduce maintenance and aesthetic concerns. As an alternative, we will Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 16 evaluate a curb extension into Commonwealth Avenue. While this represents a higher upfront cost, it offers multiple benefits: reduced pedestrian crossing distance and exposure, elimination of skewed crosswalk geometry, improved pedestrian visibility, and increased space for ADA-compliant ramp design (or dual curb ramps if feasible) and signal pole placement.
• Northeast Corner – ADA and Infrastructure Constraints This corner presents significant challenges due to adjacent building access points, existing hardscaping, and a fire hydrant. Cannon has prepared conceptual alternatives that achieve ADA compliance while maintaining site functionality (see below). These concepts will be further developed in coordination with the City to identify additional feasible/practical solutions.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 17 High-Visibility Crosswalk Upgrades
While decorative paver crosswalks are acceptable from an aesthetic standpoint, they do not provide the same level of visibility as high-visibility (continental or ladder-style) crosswalks. If the City’s priority is to enhance safety performance, particularly at high-collision locations, this project presents an opportunity to standardize high-visibility crosswalks across all intersection legs to improve driver awareness and pedestrian safety.
Standardization of Street Name Signage
Existing street name signage varies across the corridor, with a mix of overhead illuminated signs (IISNS) and retroreflective street name signs (RSNS). This project provides an opportunity to standardize signage types and placement, improving consistency, readability, and maintenance efficiency. Cannon will work with the City to establish a preferred standard that aligns with current guidelines and operational preferences.
Schedule
While the overall project schedule is not currently a major concern due to the City’s current allocation deadline, timely progress is always critical, especially with our understanding that the City has already requested an extension from Caltrans. As such, our approach is focused on front-loading quality, minimizing review cycles, and producing submittals that can advance parallel approval processes. See the page 48 to view our preliminary project schedule.
Deliverable-Driven Schedule Strategy
By the conclusion of the 30% design phase, the project will have advanced to a refined and well-vetted concept, incorporating input from City staff, commissions, and key stakeholders. Under a typical delivery sequence, the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) is completed following the 60% design submittal, Right-of-Way (ROW) Certification is pursued at the 90% stage, and the Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction (E-76) is submitted with final (100%) plans.
Cannon’s approach enhances this sequence by elevating the level of completeness at earlier milestones. At the 60% design stage, we will deliver high-quality, construction-ready plans that, if schedule conditions warrant, can support advancement of ROW Certification at that stage. Similarly, the 90% submittal will be developed to a near-final level of detail, allowing the City to proceed with E-76 authorization prior to completion of final plans. This approach is feasible provided that bid item quantities and the engineer’s cost estimate are sufficiently defined and reliable.
We have successfully implemented this accelerated authorization strategy on similar federally funded projects, enabling parallel processing of approvals and reducing overall project delivery time without compromising design quality or compliance.
In-House Design Integration
Cannon’s multidisciplinary team is in-house. This significantly reduces the need for iterative back-and-forth coordination typically associated with subconsultant-heavy teams. Real-time collaboration between disciplines allows us to quickly resolve design conflicts, maintain consistency across plan sets, and compress internal review durations.
As part of our QA/QC process, we conduct live, collaborative review sessions in Bluebeam Revu, where all reviewers comment within a single shared plan set rather than across multiple versions. This approach eliminates duplicate or conflicting comments by consolidating all feedback in one location and allows the design team to efficiently track, respond to, and close out each item. By maintaining a single, unified comment record, we can confidently verify that 100% of reviewer comments have been fully addressed, resulting in improved coordination and reduced overall review time.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 18 Proactive Preliminary Design
We place a strong emphasis on early-phase effort to ensure that the 90% design is highly refined and stable. During preliminary design, we will:
• Initiate early and continuous utility coordination, including conflict identification and resolution prior to advancing design.
• Conduct detailed field verification and site walks to confirm existing conditions and constraints. • Validate signal design assumptions, pole placements, and service requirements with stakeholders and utility providers.
• Identify constructability challenges and incorporate solutions early in the design process.
By resolving key risks during the preliminary and 30% design phases, we significantly reduce the likelihood of major revisions during later stages. This results in a more predictable schedule, fewer review iterations, and a higherconfidence 90% submittal.
Budget Projection
A common challenge on State- and federally funded projects is maintaining alignment between programmed funding and actual project costs. Budget gaps can arise for a variety of reasons, including assumptions made during grant application, escalation in unit prices, or refinement and expansion of project scope as design advances. Regardless of the cause, our focus is on proactively managing the project to stay within available funding while preserving the City’s core objectives.
During preliminary design, Cannon will work closely with the City to clearly define the full scope of improvements and prepare a realistic, data-informed cost estimate. We will strategically allocate improvements across funding sources and identify which elements may be considered non-participating. For this project, we will delineate costs between HSIP-funded elements and other project components to provide clarity on funding eligibility and identify any potential shortfall early in the process. This approach allows the City to make informed decisions regarding scope prioritization and funding strategies.
Based on our review of the RFP, HSIP grant materials, and supporting City documents, we have developed a high-level planning cost estimate and anticipate the project having sufficient budget for the HSIP grant proposed improvements.
If the City decides to proceed with our additional design recommendations for project enhancements, there may be a budget shortfall, however in our experience in working with Caltrans on similar projects, they have granted additional funds to assist the City with cost increases due to material costs or additional safety improvements.
Other Field Observations
As part of our proposal development, Cannon conducted a preliminary field review of all six project intersections to validate existing conditions and identify items that may influence design, scope, and constructability. This effort reflects the level of detail we bring to our projects and allows us to proactively address potential gaps between the RFP, HSIP documentation, and actual field conditions. Key observations include the following:
• CCTV Infrastructure: All intersections are equipped with existing CCTV cameras. Our design will account for relocation and integration of these systems onto new or modified signal poles, as required. • Curb Ramp Compliance: A preliminary field review of curb ramp slopes indicates several locations that are not ADA-compliant. Additionally, some ramps will be impacted by proposed pole removals, triggering full reconstruction requirements. We will perform a comprehensive ADA compliance assessment and provide design recommendations at the 30% design stage.
• Signal Equipment Deficiency: At Orangethorpe Avenue/Magnolia Avenue, the northbound and eastbound near-side approaches are missing a 5-section signal head for the right-turn overlap phase. We will address this by providing additional vehicle heads to be compliant with the CA MUTCD.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 19 • Street Name Sign Inconsistencies: Existing street name signage varies across intersections in terms of background color, inclusion of City branding, and use of reflective versus internally illuminated signs. At the onset of the project we will discuss with the City which style street name sign is the latest City standard. • Pedestrian Push Button Accessibility: Some pedestrian push buttons are mounted at approximately four feet in height, which does not meet current accessibility standards and will require adjustment. • Crosswalk Striping Variability: There is no consistency in crosswalk striping, with a mix of ladder-style and continental patterns observed throughout the corridor.
• Faded Pavement Markings: Several crosswalks exhibit significant wear and fading, even though restriping is not explicitly identified in the RFP, representing a potential safety enhancement opportunity.
These observations will be incorporated into our design development to ensure a comprehensive, compliant, and constructible set of improvements.

Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 20 Federal and State Funded Projects
We will support the City with all funding administration activities in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Our team has extensive experience delivering HSIP-funded projects and preparing complete, audit-ready submittal packages to Caltrans. This includes development and coordination of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES), Right-of-Way (ROW) Certification, and Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction (RFA for CON/E-76), along with all required exhibits, forms, and supporting documentation. We take a proactive approach to coordinating these efforts with design progression, allowing for parallel processing where appropriate to maintain schedule efficiency.
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES)
Environmental clearance establishes the foundation for the project scope and is critical to advancing design and construction. Our team will lead preparation of the PES by first compiling all required project information, including grant application materials, mapping, and technical data, supplemented by additional Caltrans-required documentation such as flood mapping, cross sections, and FTIP information. We will conduct a field review with the project team and document findings in the required Field Review Form and Roadway Data Sheets. Based on our experience, this project is assumed to qualify for a NEPA Categorical Exclusion and corresponding CEQA Categorical Exemption; however, we will confirm this determination as design advances (typically around the 60% stage). Cannon will assist the City in preparing necessary documentation to obtain Caltrans environmental approval.
Right-of-Way Certification
Cannon will assist the City in preparing a complete ROW Certification package, including coordination of both rightof-way and utility impacts. Early engagement with utility providers and property stakeholders is a key component of our approach to avoid delays. We will prepare and track all required utility documentation, including Notices to Owner (Exhibit 14-D) and Utility Agreements (Exhibit 14-F or 14-I), identifying the nature of impacts, responsibilities, and cost participation. In parallel, we will develop the Right-of-Way Certification Form (Exhibit 13-A) and supporting certification letter, documenting ownership, impacts, and participating versus non-participating costs. While ROW Certification is typically submitted at final design, we have successfully advanced certification at the 90% stage when design is sufficiently defined; we will coordinate with the City to determine the most effective strategy.
Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction (E-76) Following completion of environmental clearance and ROW Certification, Cannon will prepare the RFA for Construction (E-76) package (Exhibits 3-D and 3-E). This submittal consolidates project scope, funding allocations, and prior approvals into a single authorization request to Caltrans. We will ensure that all required documentation, cost estimates, and supporting materials are complete and consistent with the approved grant application. Upon Caltrans approval of the E-76, we will assist the City with processing the Program Supplement Agreement, positioning the project to proceed with advertisement and construction.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 21 Project Management Approach
Successful project completion depends on a clear
management and control plan built on proven practices.
Our Project Management Plan (PMP) emphasizes project
communication, scope development, and the submittal
process. After notice to proceed and before starting work, our team will submit a PMP, upon City request, for City review. The PMP elements are outlined below.
Progress Reporting Systems.
We will be proactive and available to the City’s
project manager. This accessibility, combined with our
understanding of the City’s needs, generates a team that is ready to mobilize quickly and assign the right staff to each task. The PMP includes the following:
• Document Control. The document control plan
specifies procedures for documenting, transmitting,
and storing communication items for the project,
including meeting minutes, correspondence,
submittals, and filing of hard copies and electronic
files. Adherence to these procedures supports quality
control and timely delivery. Before initiating a task
order, we will complete a checklist identifying required deliverables and submittal formats.
• Progress Reporting. We will provide the City’s
project manager with a monthly status report. This
report will include project management status, work
accomplished during the reporting period, work to
be completed during the following reporting period,
budget and schedule status, potential out-of-scope
items, and issues and concerns raised during the
reporting period.
• Communication Plan. Recognizing that effective
project communication is the key component for
a successful project, our team will focus on clearly
defining project team communications. Our project
manager will be the single point-of-contact for the
City. They will develop a project communication plan
as part of the overall PMP. This communication plan
will include a list of contact information for each
team member, their role, and their responsibilities
for the project. The project communication plan will
be monitored closely. At each project development
team (PDT) meeting, the team will discuss
successes and areas of improvement for the team’s
communication with the City, and we will proactively
look for opportunities to improve the project team’s
communication.
Cost Control / Design Schedule Control.
Upon receipt of notice to proceed, our team will develop a work breakdown structure to monitor budget and
schedule performance. Our accounting and project
management systems support weekly tracking of labor,
subconsultant costs, and direct expenses by task. Cost
sheets and progress estimates will be used to prepare
status reports and earned value analyses at defined
reporting intervals. Project performance will be reviewed at key milestones or monthly.
Monthly schedule reviews will identify potential deviations and support development of corrective actions. Schedule updates will be provided to the City for review. An action item log will track responsibilities and due dates, and design team progress will be reviewed weekly.
Project completion will be measured against the baseline schedule. Schedule slippage will be identified early,
and corrective actions will be implemented to recover
time. Project expenditures will be tracked weekly, with adjustments discussed when required to maintain
alignment with the baseline budget.
A master project schedule will be developed and
maintained through the life of the project. The schedule will align with the approved work breakdown structure
and support identification of the critical path, progress tracking, and formal schedule reporting.
To support these controls, we use Deltek Vantagepoint
as our project management and accounting platform.
Vantagepoint provides clear tracking of labor,
subconsultants, and direct costs by task and milestone, supporting steady progress from phase to phase. The
system also supports cost control and subconsultant
oversight through current budget data, commitment
tracking, and invoice records. Deliverable logs and
document tracking reduce missed steps and help keep
work aligned with established deadlines. These tools
support consistent reporting, early issue identification, and coordination across the project team.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 22 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
With your project’s main objectives in mind, our Project Manager will implement Cannon’s Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/ QC) Program. We have built and continue to develop internal control processes that incorporate peer review and progress reporting to help projects meet established design guidelines, are within budget, and stay on schedule. We take a proactive approach to project management, with an emphasis on project familiarity, open communication, quality and cost control, and project scheduling.
The QA/QC program is generally divided into three phases:
1. Design Team Review. This review is provided by members of the project team as the work progresses. Prior to the start of design work, an analysis is made to determine the technical requirements, needs, and requirements of the Client; jurisdictional requirements; and fiscal constraints or schedule requirements of the project. At this time, specific quality control requirements and internal review procedures are established.
2. Independent Peer Review. This review is conducted at various project phases preliminary, 60%, 90%, and 100% by design personnel who are outside of the regular project design team. Peer review consists of a detailed review of project work products. This process involves the assignment of senior personnel, including principals, to provide detailed, independent reviews of the work being completed. The selection of senior personnel for this task is based on professional expertise, specific knowledge of similar projects, and years of experience. The detail reviewer’s responsibility will include: evaluation of the overall project concept at preliminary phase; verification of the adequacy of the design to achieve the project goals; evaluation of possible design alternatives; review of QA/QC by the design team; review of the project for constructability; and contractor review.
Recommendations made by the independent reviewer are made directly to the project manager, who is responsible for evaluating the recommendations and implementing changes, as required. The reviewer’s comments will be documented and recorded along with the designer and project manager’s response to comments.
3. Review of Subconsultant Deliverables. This review is conducted by Cannon’s project manager because of their knowledge of the entire project’s scope and how each discipline relates to each other. This review is also conducted at various project phases, including the preliminary, 60%, 90%, and 100% and will be done prior to submitting the complete deliverable to the Client. This review includes: evaluation of the overall project concept at preliminary phase; verification of the adequacy of the design to achieve the project goals; evaluation of possible design alternatives; and review of the project for constructability. After receipt of review comments, the subconsultant incorporates the comments or provides justification for a different design direction. The subconsultant then provides revised plans to the project manager along with the original comments and proper responses that follow our QA/QC plan format.

Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 27 Artesia Boulevard Arterial
Improvements
Gardena, California
The City of Gardena (City) wanted to replace existing
medians along Artesia Boulevard, from Western Avenue
to Vermont Avenue, with a new decorative hardscape
paving solution. Based on prior discussions with City
staff, the Cannon Team evaluated and presented four
paving solutions to the City: grouted river cobble, exposed concrete, concrete unit pavers, and staining/sealing the existing stamped concrete. The City subsequently decided to move forward with the “cobblestone” paving solution, which Cannon incorporated into the final design plans,
specifications, and cost estimate. Our team prepared
a design study to convey the proposed limits of add or
deducted hardscape for City direction. Following approval of the conceptual design direction, Cannon completed
revisions to the previously submitted 95% design plans, specifications, and estimate. This consisted of the street improvement plans and landscape demolition plan,
irrigation plan, planting plan, technical specifications, and cost estimate.

Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 29 Manhattan Beach Boulevard Bike
Lane and Street Improvements
Redondo Beach, California
Manhattan Beach Boulevard has two westbound lanes
that merge into one lane just west of the Pacific Avenue intersection. During peak hours, heavy westbound traffic and limited space for vehicles turning left forced drivers to quickly shift into the second lane within the short, 60-foot merge area. This caused safety concerns and disturbed the traffic flow with sudden stop and go traffic patterns. The residents near this intersection constantly experienced loud speeding/braking noises and witnessed traffic
accidents.
The goal of the project was to significantly improve
roadway conditions, safety, and aesthetics, while
also enhancing the functionality of transportation
infrastructure for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
The City of Redondo Beach selected Cannon to provide
professional engineering and landscape architecture design services for the project.
Key components included the following:
• Addition of Class II bike lanes
• Roadway grinding and asphalt resurfacing
• Re-striping and median modifications
• Traffic signal modifications at Manhattan Beach
Boulevard and Dow Avenue
• Landscaping and irrigation improvements for medians
• New dedicated westbound U-turn pocket on
Manhattan Beach Boulevard between Gibson Place
and McBain Avenue
• ADA curb ramp upgrades
• Curb, gutter, cross gutter, and sidewalk repairs
• Compliance with provided plans and specifications

coordination. We will circulate the 60% and 100% design plans to all utility agencies operating within the project limits for review and comment. Cannon will coordinate
with utility providers to identify and resolve potential conflicts prior to final design, helping to minimize
construction impacts and avoid delays.
In addition, Cannon will request utility mark outs through DigAlert at each intersection prior to aerial photography.
These markings will be used to supplement and validate
our utility research.
Southern California Edison (SCE) Coordination
Based on our understanding of the proposed
improvements, we do not anticipate modifications to
existing service cabinets or points of connection, as the additional electrical load is expected to be minimal and should not require extensive coordination with Southern California Edison (SCE). However, our preliminary field review indicates the need to confirm overhead conductor voltages with SCE to ensure proper design and placement of new signal standards in accordance with SCE and CPUC clearance requirements.
Task 3.3. Survey Engineering
KDM Meridian will provide a design level topographic
survey, including centerline and right-of-way at each
project location for proposed curb ramp design.
Ground survey will be conducted at each corner of the
intersection, extend approximately 10’ beyond the BCR
and ECR, and extend from the right-of-way to the first lane line. Other planimetric features beyond the corners will be Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 46 captured through Cannon’s field work. In addition, KDM
Meridian will provide a high-resolution aerial image that will be used as a background on the preliminary design
plans.
Task 3.4. Site Evaluation / Investigation
Field Review
Following receipt of available as-built records and
completion of the topographic survey, Cannon will
conduct a field review to confirm and document existing conditions. This includes verification of roadway geometry, visible utilities (e.g., manholes and valves), signing and striping, traffic signal equipment, controller cabinet
(including contents), pull boxes, conduit, and wiring,
detection systems, power poles, cabinets, fire hydrants, and other relevant features within the project limits. Our engineers will also be making observations related to the effect of construction activities on businesses, pedestrian traffic, and vehicular traffic. These observations will be discussed with the City and factored into the construction phasing section of the project specifications.
ADA Compliance Assessment
Cannon will conduct a comprehensive ADA compliance
review of existing curb ramps within the project limits.
Based on our preliminary field observations, 24 ramps
have been identified for detailed evaluation. Our team
will field-verify slopes, dimensions, and critical features using a digital level and tape measure. All findings
will be documented, and a summary of identified
deficiencies will be provided to the City to support design recommendations.
Note: The ADA compliance assessment will be completed
before KDM Meridian mobilizes to survey each
intersection. Identifying curb ramps that already meet
ADA requirements may reduce the scope of work required
by KDM and result in lower overall survey costs for the project.
Photometric Analysis
Cannon will prepare and analyze the existing illumination and uniformity calculations using AGI32 lighting design software at each project location. We have assumed the
City can provide specifications for the existing luminaires along the project corridor. We will verify the locations of the existing safety lighting as well as the wattage and lighting type (HPS, LED, etc.). We will identify areas along the roadway that do not meet the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) lighting criteria, inform the City of our findings, and make recommendations on
how to meet the standards.
Task 3.5. Base Map Preparation
Following our field verification, we will develop detailed base plans. These plans will depict existing centerlines, curb and gutter, right-of-way limits, curb ramps, driveways, pavement markings, signing, traffic signal infrastructure, pull boxes, conduit, utilities (e.g., manholes and valves), and other relevant elements identified during field review.
We place a strong emphasis on the accuracy and
completeness of the base mapping, as it serves as the
foundation for all subsequent design work. Investing
the effort upfront to develop a high-quality base plan
minimizes the need for later revisions, reduces the
potential for coordination issues, and supports an efficient, predictable design schedule.
Task 3 Deliverables:
• Utility as-built records and agency response list
• Topographic survey
• Field notes and site photos
• ADA compliance assessment
• Base plans
Task 4. Preliminary Design
Task 4.1. Preliminary Design
Following completion of the base mapping, Cannon
will prepare preliminary design plans for the proposed
improvements at each location. At this stage, the
plans will identify key elements such as traffic signal pole modifications or replacements, addition of signal
equipment, crosswalk enhancements, and proposed curb
ramp reconstruction, as well as identify opportunities for other safety improvements (e.g., curb extensions).
The 30% design phase is focused on developing a feasible and constructible concept. We will critically evaluate each improvement against real-world constraints, including
right-of-way limitations, utility conflicts, operational needs, and available funding. Our objective is to present the City with practical, buildable solutions—avoiding concepts that cannot be implemented within project constraints. By
vetting the design at this stage from safety, functionality, constructability, and cost perspectives, we reduce the
need for significant revisions during later phases.
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 47 Throughout design development, Cannon will apply all
relevant standards and guidelines, including the Standard Plans and Specifications for Public Works Construction
(Greenbook), Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), and applicable City standards to achieve
compliance and consistency.
Cannon will also prepare a detailed opinion of probable construction cost to evaluate the proposed improvements against the project budget. This estimate will be based on measured quantities and current market unit costs
derived from Caltrans data, recent local bid results, and other available sources. The estimate will be presented in a clear, itemized format, including quantities, unit prices, subtotals, and total construction cost. If the estimate indicates a potential budget constraint, we will work
collaboratively with the City to refine the scope and
prioritize improvements accordingly.
Task 4.2. Preliminary Design Site Walk
Cannon will facilitate and lead a collaborative site walk with City staff and relevant stakeholders following
development of the preliminary concept design. Our
landscape architect will be present for the site walk at the intersections along Harbor Boulevard at Commonwealth
Avenue / Chapman Avenue.
The site walk will be structured as a collaborative
working session to validate the preliminary concept
design and identify project opportunities, constraints, and challenges. During this effort, our team will evaluate existing conditions at each intersection, including traffic operations (both motorized and non-motorized), traffic
control devices, roadway geometrics, and intersection
configurations. We will facilitate an open dialogue with participants to confirm the City’s priorities, define “musthave” elements, and brainstorm practical solutions that align with the City’s vision while remaining feasible and constructible. Feedback collected during this effort will be documented and incorporated into the refined preliminary design.
Task 4.3. Refined Preliminary Design
Cannon will incorporate feedback received during
the site walk into a refined preliminary design. This
effort will include evaluating stakeholder input,
validating field-identified constraints, and advancing
the concept to a higher level of detail to improve
feasibility, constructability, and cost certainty. Proposed improvements will be adjusted as-needed to reflect the
City’s priorities, identified “must-have” elements, and any operational or physical constraints observed in the field. At this stage our landscape architect, BGB, will provide three (3) alternative hardscaping palettes for the City to review.
The cost estimate will be revised to reflect the refined design to ensure the project budget is sufficient. Cannon will clearly document any scope modifications and their associated cost impacts to support informed decisionmaking by the City.
The refined preliminary plans and cost estimate will be submitted to the City for review and concurrence prior
to any public or stakeholder presentations. Cannon will coordinate closely with City staff to address comments
and confirm that the proposed improvements accurately
reflect the City’s vision and project objectives before advancing to the next phase.
Task 4.4. Design Presentations
Cannon will present the 30% preliminary design to key
stakeholders, including City staff and the Transportation & Circulation Commission (TCC). The presentation will be prepared in PowerPoint format and will clearly convey
the proposed improvements. We will submit the draft
PowerPoint presentation for the City to review, address comments and prepare a final PowerPoint presentation.
Cannon will attend up to two (2) presentation meetings as part of this task.
During these meetings, Cannon will facilitate discussion to obtain input on project priorities, operational
considerations, and community concerns. All comments
and feedback will be documented and compiled into a
summary for the City’s review.
Task 4.5. Preferred Concept (30% Design)
Following the presentations, Cannon will evaluate the
feedback received and incorporate appropriate revisions into the design. Updates will be coordinated with City
staff so that the refined concept reflects stakeholder input while maintaining consistency with project objectives,
technical requirements, and budget constraints. The cost estimate will be updated to reflect the refined design, including revised quantities and current unit pricing.
The resulting preferred concept and cost estimate will be submitted to the City for final review and concurrence
prior to advancing into the 60% design stage. Cannon will coordinate closely with City staff to resolve any remaining Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 48 comments and confirm that the selected approach aligns
with the City’s objectives and expectations.
Task 4 Deliverables:
• Preliminary 30% design plans and cost estimates via
PDF)
• Design site walk meeting minutes
• Refined preliminary design plans and cost estimates
(addressing one round of City comments via PDF)
• Design presentation in PowerPoint format and
presentation meeting minutes
• Preferred concept plans and cost estimates
(addressing one round of City comments via PDF)
Task 5. Plans, Specifications, and
Estimate (PS&E)
Upon City approval of the conceptual design, Cannon will proceed with development of the 60% PS&E submittal.
Submittals will be provided at the 60%, 90%, and 100%
(final) stages. Each submittal package will include:
Description Scale Anticipated
No. of Sheets
Title Sheet N/A 1
General Notes & Details N/A 1
Traffic Signal Plans 1”=20’ 6
Curb Ramp Details 1”=5’ 3
Hardscaping Details N/A 1
Anticipated Total No. of Sheets 12
Traffic Signal Plans
Cannon will prepare traffic signal modification plans for the following six (6) intersections:
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Harbor Boulevard
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Euclid Street
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Brookhurst Road
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Magnolia Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Commonwealth Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Chapman Avenue
Plans will be prepared at a scale of 1”=20’ and will include existing and proposed roadway improvements, centerlines, right-of-way limits, utilities of record, and the removal and installation of traffic signal equipment. The plans will include all required notes, schedules, and details necessary to meet City, Caltrans, and CA MUTCD standards.
Signing and striping improvements are anticipated to
be minor in nature (including crosswalks and limit lines), limited to the intersection, and will be shown on the traffic signal plans.
Curb Ramp Details
Based on our preliminary field review of the six project intersections, we observed that approximately 13 of the 24 existing curb ramps do not meet current ADA standards due to deficiencies such as excessive ramp or landing
slopes, lips at the flowline, and non-compliant gutter cross slopes. While the RFP identifies curb ramp replacement
at select locations, our discussions with the City indicate an interest in achieving full ADA compliance across all intersections.
Cannon will prepare curb design details for thirteen
(13) curb ramps. These details will be prepared at a
scale of 1”=5’ and will include horizontal layout, grading information, construction notes, and applicable standard details to support compliant and constructible designs.
Notes:
• The number of curb ramp designs identified is
preliminary and may be refined based on the results of
the comprehensive ADA compliance assessment and
coordination with the City.
• Where feasible we will provide directional (dual) curb ramps at each.
• Where deemed appropriate by the City and Cannon
(minimal field constraints), proposed curb ramps could
be designed only specifying the appropriate case/type
per the City standard plans.
• Several existing signal poles are located within
or adjacent to curb ramp wings. Where poles
are removed, the affected ramp wing will be
reconstructed. If the associated curb ramp is ADAcompliant, we will specify that reconstruction will match existing conditions and a full curb ramp detail
will not be required.
Hardscaping Details
Our landscape architect subconsultant, BGB, will develop hardscape design details for the decorative sidewalk
improvements at Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth
Avenue/Chapman Avenue, based on the palette and
materials selected by the City during the preliminary
design phase. This effort will include preparation of
construction details such as paving layouts and patterns Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 49 (e.g., pavers, scored or colored concrete), material
specifications, jointing and edge restraint systems,
transitions between materials, ADA-compliant interfaces with curb ramps, grading considerations, and integration with street furniture or site elements where applicable.
Hardscaping details will be submitted at the 60%, 90%, and 100% design stages for review and approval.
In addition, BGB will prepare landscaping and irrigation plans at 1”=10’ for any landscaping and irrigation impacts to the project at Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth
Avenue/Chapman Avenue only.
Specifications
Cannon will prepare the technical specifications using
the City boilerplate and the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC) and Caltrans Standard Specifications. We will provide a bid schedule for items required by the plans, or items needed to accomplish the project construction in the general provisions and include them in the Contractor’s bid list.
Cost Estimates
Cannon will develop and submit an opinion of probable
construction cost with each design submittal. Estimates will be based on measured quantities and current market unit prices derived from sources such as Caltrans cost data, recent local bid results, and any information provided by the City. Estimates will be refined at each phase to reflect the advancing level of design and improved quantity
accuracy.
Submittal and Review
Cannon will prepare and submit complete Plans,
Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) packages at the
60%, 90%, and 100% (final) design stages. The 60% and
90% submittals will be provided to the City for review
and comment, while the 100% (final) submittal will be
submitted for approval.
Following each review cycle, Cannon will compile all City comments into a comprehensive comment response
matrix. This matrix will track each comment and provide a clear response or resolution. The response matrix will be included with each subsequent submittal to the City.
Note: If the City provides comments in digital format
(Bluebeam/Adobe) we will utilize the features in Bluebeam to generate a comment and response matrix.
Task 5 Deliverables:
• Plans, specifications, and cost estimate submittals at 60%, 90% & 100% (Final) design stages (PDF)
• Comment response matrix for all City comments
Task 6. Bid and Construction Support
(As-Needed)
Cannon will provide construction support services
following the submittal of the final plans, specifications, and cost estimates. Our services include:
• Attendance at pre-bid meeting, responding to bidders’ questions, and preparing addenda, as necessary.
• Attendance at pre-construction meeting, job-site
meetings, and field visits during construction.
• Review of shop drawings, submittals, and change
orders.
• Response to Requests for Information (RFI).
• Minor design changes during construction.
After construction has been completed, Cannon will
prepare record drawings based on redlines provided by the Contractor and/or the Client’s Construction Manager. Field verification of proposed improvements is excluded from
our scope of work.
Note:
Budget is limited to what is shown in the fee schedule.
Task 6 Deliverables:
• RFI & submittal log matrix and responses
• Applicable design revisions
• Record drawings (CAD & PDF)
Optional Services
Environmental Understanding and Contingency Services
Environmental clearance for the proposed project is
anticipated to be streamlined given the limited scope of work within existing roadway right-of-way and the City’s preparation of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form. It is expected that Caltrans will prepare standard technical memoranda (e.g., biology, cultural resources, and hazardous materials) to support the NEPA determination.
However, should Caltrans identify the need for additional environmental review, clarification, or supporting
Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 50 documentation during the course of project development, ECORP Consulting, Inc. is available on an as-needed basis to provide targeted support. This may include preparation of focused technical memoranda, assistance with resource agency coordination, or supplemental analysis to address specific issues raised during the environmental review
process. Services would be scoped and authorized in
coordination with the project team to ensure efficiency and avoid duplication of effort. In our experience with Caltrans District 12, studies that may be required include an Initial Site Assessment (ISA), Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL) Study, and potentially more detailed cultural
resources analysis.
Traffic Signal Timing and Operational Optimization
Although this project is primarily design-focused, DKS
will refine and optimize signal timing to support the
proposed design enhancements, particularly LPI and other safety treatments, while remaining fully aligned with
OCTA’s regional Baseline efforts and performance-driven framework.
The six project intersections along Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard are located on regionally significant corridors and may be included in OCTA’s Countywide
Signal Synchronization Baseline Project, which is
anticipated to provide traffic data collection, performance metrics, and systemwide timing assessments. DKS will
coordinate with OCTA and the City and leverage available Baseline data and timing parameters to avoid duplication and maintain consistency with regional operations.
DKS’ effort will focus on design-driven retiming at the intersection level, rather than full corridor re-optimization.
Proposed improvements such as Leading Pedestrian
Intervals (LPI), protected left-turn phasing, and revised lane configurations introduce changes to phase structure and timing parameters that must be addressed to maintain operational efficiency.
Implementation of LPI (if used) requires careful adjustment of the following:
• Pedestrian timing parameters (WALK and Flashing
Don’t Walk intervals) to accommodate leading
intervals while maintaining MUTCD compliance.
• Effective green time and phase splits, as LPI reduces available vehicle green within the same phase.
• Phase sequencing and coordination, particularly where permissive turn movements or lagging phases are
present.
To address these impacts, DKS will perform targeted
updates to:
• Phase splits and critical movement allocation based on updated demand and safety priorities.
• Cycle length, where necessary, to maintain acceptable v/c ratios and reduce delay.
• Offsets and progression, to preserve arterial
coordination where the intersections operate within a
coordinated system.
• Turn movement operations, including review of
permissive/protected phasing and potential need for
turn restrictions (e.g., NTOR).
Where multiple intersections are affected, DKS will
conduct limited corridor-level validation (e.g., Synchro/ SimTraffic) to confirm that progression and overall system performance are maintained. The signal timing will be
designed in accordance with the 2026 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) standards and City of Fullerton requirements. Full coordination analysis with adjacent or nearby traffic signals is excluded from our scope of work. We assume traffic data will be provided by the City, and/or baseline project, and the DKS team will build Synchro file for 6 intersections. DKS will refine timing plans for AM, Mid, PM and weekend and prepare traffic
signal timing sheets in the City-required format.
Utility Potholing
T2ue will provide utility potholing
(x-trenching) at up to 37 locations
for confirmation/identification of
subsurface utilities as shown in
the diagram to the right:
Based on our experience,
exploratory trenching
(x-trenching) provides the highest level of confidence in identifying underground utility conflicts, but it is also one of the more costly investigation methods. Cannon will
work with the City to develop a balanced approach that
aligns with project needs and budget. Options may include targeted potholing (e.g., 12-inch test holes), focusing potholing for signal poles with mast arm, or deferring
potholing efforts to the construction phase.
Constructability Review
In addition to our typical QA/QC procedures, Cannon
will provide a thorough constructability review of 90%
PS&E package. We will advise on where the project
documents can be clearer, more precise, or more readily Orangethorpe Ave & Harbor Blvd Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Enhancement Project Cannon 51 constructable. We will advise on Value Engineering
alternatives. Our in-house specialty construction managers and engineers will review and advise on the individual
specialty roadway construction, traffic signal, etc.

It is our understanding that the City will request u lity maps from u lity companies. Using the collected informa on, Cannon will compile available as-built data and develop a u lity base map to support design and coordina on. We will circulate the 60% and 100% design plans to all u lity agencies opera ng within the project limits for review and comment. Cannon will coordinate with u lity providers to iden fy and resolve poten al conflicts prior to final design, helping to minimize construc on impacts and avoid delays.
In addi on, Cannon will request u lity mark outs through DigAlert at each intersec on prior to aerial photography. These markings will be used to supplement and validate our u lity research. Note:
DigAlert's acceptance of these requests and the subsequent performance of u lity mark-outs are outside Cannon's control and cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, u lity markings may not be available at all intersec ons.
Southern California Edison (SCE) Coordina
on
Based on our understanding of the proposed improvements, we do not an cipate modifica ons to exis ng service cabinets or points of connec on, as the addi onal electrical load is expected to be minimal and should not require extensive coordina on with Southern California Edison (SCE). However, our preliminary field review indicates the need to confirm overhead conductor voltages with SCE to ensure proper design and placement of new signal standards in accordance with SCE and CPUC clearance requirements.
Task 3.3. Survey Engineering
KDM Meridian will provide a design level topographic survey, including centerline and right-of-way at each project loca on for proposed curb ramp design. Ground survey will be conducted at each corner of the intersec on, extend approximately 10’ beyond the BCR and ECR, and extend from the right-of-way to the first lane line. Other planimetric features beyond the corners will be captured through Cannon’s field work. In addi on, KDM Meridian will provide a high-resolu on aerial image that will be used as a background on the preliminary design plans.
Task 3.4. Site Evaluaon / Invesgaon
Field Review
Following receipt of available as-built records and comple on of the topographic survey, Cannon will conduct a field review to confirm and document exis ng condi ons. This includes verifica on of roadway geometry, visible u li es (e.g., manholes and valves), signing and striping, traffic signal equipment, controller cabinet (including contents), pull boxes, conduit, and wiring, detec on systems, power poles, cabinets, fire hydrants, and other relevant features within the project limits. Our engineers will also be making observa ons related to the effect of construc on ac vi es on businesses, pedestrian traffic, and vehicular traffic. These observa ons will be discussed with the City and factored into the construc on phasing sec on of the project specifica ons.
ADA Compliance Assessment
Cannon will conduct a comprehensive ADA compliance review of exis ng curb ramps within the project limits. Based on our preliminary field observa ons, 24 ramps have been iden fied for detailed evalua on. Our team will field-verify slopes, dimensions, and cri cal features using a digital level and tape measure. All findings will be documented, and a summary of iden fied deficiencies will be provided to the City to support design recommenda ons.
Note: The ADA compliance assessment will be completed before KDM Meridian mobilizes to survey each intersec on. Iden fying curb ramps that already meet ADA requirements may reduce the scope of work required by KDM and result in lower overall survey costs for the project.
Overhead U
li
es
Based on preliminary field observa ons, overhead u li es are present at ten (10) loca ons across the four (4) intersec ons along Orangethorpe Avenue. Cannon will u lize a Distmat (laser distance measuring device), and KDM will perform reflectorless surveying to determine and verify overhead u lity clearances. Final overhead u lity heights will be confirmed with Southern California Edison (SCE) as part of Task 3.2.
Photometric Analysis
Based on our discussion with the City, luminaire placement and wa(ages will be based on engineering judgement and typical applica on for roadway classifica ons, and a photometric analysis will not be required.
Task 3.5. Base Map Preparaon
Following our field verifica on, we will develop detailed base plans. These plans will depict exis ng centerlines, curb and gu(er, right-of-way limits, curb ramps, driveways, pavement markings, signing, traffic signal infrastructure, pull boxes, conduit, u li es (e.g., manholes and valves), and other relevant elements iden fied during field review.
We place a strong emphasis on the accuracy and completeness of the base mapping, as it serves as the founda on for all subsequent design work. Inves ng the effort upfront to develop a high-quality base plan minimizes the need for later revisions, reduces the poten al for coordina on issues, and supports an efficient, predictable design schedule.
TASK 3 DELIVERABLES:
• U lity as-built records and agency response list
• Topographic survey
• Field notes and site photos
• ADA compliance assessment
• Base plans
Task 4. Preliminary Design
Task 4.1. Preliminary Design
Following comple on of the base mapping, Cannon will prepare preliminary design plans for the proposed improvements at each loca on. At this stage, the plans will iden fy key elements such as traffic signal pole modifica ons or replacements, addi on of signal equipment, crosswalk enhancements, and proposed curb ramp reconstruc on, as well as iden fy opportuni es for other safety improvements (e.g., curb extensions).
The 30% design phase is focused on developing a feasible and construc ble concept. We will cri cally evaluate each improvement against real-world constraints, including right-of-way limita ons, u lity conflicts, opera onal needs, and available funding. Our objec ve is to present the City with prac cal, buildable solu ons—avoiding concepts that cannot be implemented within project constraints. By veDng the design at this stage from safety, func onality, constructability, and cost perspec ves, we reduce the need for significant revisions during later phases.
Throughout design development, Cannon will apply all relevant standards and guidelines, including the Standard Plans and Specifica ons for Public Works Construc on (Greenbook), Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifica ons, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), and applicable City standards to achieve compliance and consistency.
Cannon will also prepare a detailed opinion of probable construc on cost to evaluate the proposed improvements against the project budget. This es mate will be based on measured quan es and current market unit costs derived from Caltrans data, recent local bid results, and other available sources. The es mate will be presented in a clear, itemized format, including quan es, unit prices, subtotals, and total construc on cost. If the es mate indicates a poten al budget constraint, we will work collabora vely with the City to refine the scope and priori ze improvements accordingly.
Task 4.2. Preliminary Design Site Walk
Cannon will facilitate and lead a collabora ve site walk with City staff and relevant stakeholders following development of the preliminary concept design.
The site walk will be structured as a collabora ve working session to validate the preliminary concept design and iden fy project opportuni es, constraints, and challenges. During this effort, our team will evaluate exis ng condi ons at each intersec on, including traffic opera ons (both motorized and nonmotorized), traffic control devices, roadway geometrics, and intersec on configura ons. We will facilitate an open dialogue with par cipants to confirm the City’s priori es, define “must-have” elements, and brainstorm prac cal solu ons that align with the City’s vision while remaining feasible and construc ble. Feedback collected during this effort will be documented and incorporated into the 60% design plans.
TASK 4 DELIVERABLES:
• Preliminary 30% design plans and cost es mates (via PDF) • Design site walk mee ng minutes
Task 5. Plans, Specificaons, and Esmate (PS&E)
Upon City approval of the conceptual design, Cannon will proceed with development of the 60% PS&E submi(al. Submi(als will be provided at the 60%, 90%, and 100% (final) stages. Each submi(al package will include:
Description Scale Anticipated No.
of Sheets
Title Sheet N/A 1
General Notes & Details N/A 1
Traffic Signal Plans 1”=20’ 6
Curb Ramp Details 1”=5’ 3
Paver Crosswalk Removal 1”=20’ 1
Anticipated Total No. of Sheets 12
Traffic Signal Plans
Cannon will prepare traffic signal modifica on plans for the following six (6) intersec ons:
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Harbor Boulevard
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Euclid Street
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Brookhurst Road
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Magnolia Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Commonwealth Avenue
• Harbor Boulevard & Chapman Avenue
Plans will be prepared at a scale of 1”=20’ and will include exis ng and proposed roadway improvements, centerlines, right-of-way limits, u li es of record, and the removal and installa on of traffic signal equipment. The plans will include all required notes, schedules, and details necessary to meet City, Caltrans, and CA MUTCD standards. Signing and striping improvements are an cipated to be minor in nature (including crosswalks and limit lines), limited to the intersec on, and will be shown on the traffic signal plans.
Curb Ramp Details
Based on our preliminary field review of the six project intersec ons, we observed that approximately 13 of the 24 exis ng curb ramps do not meet current ADA standards due to deficiencies such as excessive ramp or landing slopes, lips at the flowline, and non-compliant gu(er cross slopes. While the RFP iden fies curb ramp replacement at select loca ons, our discussions with the City indicate an interest in achieving full ADA compliance across all intersec ons.
Cannon will prepare curb design details for thirteen (13) curb ramps. These details will be prepared at a scale of 1”=5’ and will include horizontal layout, grading informa on, construc on notes, and applicable standard details to support compliant and construc ble designs.
Notes:
• The number of curb ramp designs iden fied is preliminary and may be refined based on the results of the comprehensive ADA compliance assessment and coordina on with the City. • Where feasible we will provide direc onal (dual) curb ramps at each. • Where deemed appropriate by the City and Cannon (minimal field constraints), proposed curb ramps could be designed only specifying the appropriate case/type per the City standard plans. • Several exis ng signal poles are located within or adjacent to curb ramp wings. Where poles are removed, the affected ramp wing will be reconstructed. If the associated curb ramp is ADAcompliant, we will specify that reconstruc on will match exis ng condi ons and a full curb ramp detail will not be required.
• The City will provide Cannon with hardscaping details and technical specifica ons including color, mix design, finish, etc., for the curb ramps at Harbor Boulevard/Commonwealth Avenue and Harbor Boulevard/Chapman Avenue.Irrigation modifications at the intersections of Harbor Boulevard/Commonwealth Avenue and Harbor Boulevard/Chapman Avenue are anticipated to be minimal, if required at all. Any necessary irrigation modifications will be addressed through general construction notes and technical specifications directing the contractor to restore and modify the existing irrigation system as required, subject to the satisfaction of the field engineer.
Harbor Boulevard & Commonwealth Avenue East Leg Paver Crosswalk Removal Cannon will prepare a street improvement plan to accommodate the removal of the exis ng angled paver crosswalk on the east leg of Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue. Our design will be based on one of the following op ons: 1) full depth asphalt pavement or 2) a new, straight paver crosswalk. The street improvement plan will be prepared at 1”=20’ scale (or larger if required) and will include a detailed horizontal layout, eleva ons and grades, construc on notes, and applicable details.
Ver cal profiles are excluded from the scope of work.
Assump
ons & Exclusions:
• If asphalt pavement will be reconstructed in the place of the exis ng paver crosswalk, we have assumed the proposed pavement sec on will be provided by the City and that a geotechnical analysis will not be required.
• We have assumed the City will provide an as-built of the exis ng paver crosswalk cross sec on.
Specifica
ons
Cannon will prepare the technical specifica ons using the City boilerplate and the Standard Specifica ons for Public Works Construc on (SSPWC) and Caltrans Standard Specifica ons. We will provide a bid schedule for items required by the plans, or items needed to accomplish the project construc on in the general provisions and include them in the Contractor’s bid list.
Cost Es
mates
Cannon will develop and submit an opinion of probable construc on cost with each design submi(al.
Es mates will be based on measured quan es and current market unit prices derived from sources such as Caltrans cost data, recent local bid results, and any informa on provided by the City. Es mates will be refined at each phase to reflect the advancing level of design and improved quan ty accuracy.
SubmiBal and Review
Cannon will prepare and submit complete Plans, Specifica ons, and Es mate (PS&E) packages at the 60%, 90%, and 100% (final) design stages. The 60% and 90% submi(als will be provided to the City for review and comment, while the 100% (final) submi(al will be submi(ed for approval.
Following each review cycle, Cannon will compile all City comments into a comprehensive comment response matrix. This matrix will track each comment and provide a clear response or resolu on. The response matrix will be included with each subsequent submi(al to the City.
Note: If the City provides comments in digital format (Bluebeam/Adobe) we will u lize the features in Bluebeam to generate a comment and response matrix.
TASK 5 DELIVERABLES:
• Plans, specifica ons, and cost es mate submi(als at 60%, 90% & 100% (Final) design stages (PDF)
• Comment response matrix for all City comments
Task 6. Bid and Construcon Support (As-Needed)
Cannon will provide construc on support services following the submi(al of the final plans, specifica ons, and cost es mates. Our services include:
• A(endance at pre-bid mee ng, responding to bidders’ ques ons, and preparing addenda, as necessary.
• A(endance at pre-construc on mee ng, job-site mee ngs, and field visits during construc on. • Review of shop drawings, submi(als, and change orders. • Response to Requests for Informa on (RFI).
• Minor design changes during construc on.
ABer construc on has been completed, Cannon will prepare record drawings based on redlines provided by the Contractor and/or the Client’s Construc on Manager. Field verifica on of proposed improvements is excluded from our scope of work.
Note: Budget is limited to what is shown in the fee schedule.
TASK 6: DELIVERABLES:
• RFI & submi(al log matrix and responses
• Applicable design revisions
• Record drawings (CAD & PDF)
Oponal Services
Task 7.1: Environmental Understanding and Conngency Services Environmental clearance for the proposed project is an cipated to be streamlined given the limited scope of work within exis ng roadway right-of-way and the City’s prepara on of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form. It is expected that Caltrans will prepare standard technical memoranda (e.g., biology, cultural resources, and hazardous materials) to support the NEPA determina on. However, should Caltrans iden fy the need for addi onal environmental review, clarifica on, or suppor ng documenta on during the course of project development, ECORP Consul ng, Inc. is available on an asneeded basis to provide targeted support. This may include prepara on of focused technical memoranda, assistance with resource agency coordina on, or supplemental analysis to address specific issues raised during the environmental review process. Services would be scoped and authorized in coordina on with the project team to ensure efficiency and avoid duplica on of effort. In our experience with Caltrans District 12, studies that may be required include an Ini al Site Assessment (ISA), Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL) Study, and poten ally more detailed cultural resources analysis.
Task 7.2: Harbor Boulevard & Commonwealth Avenue Southeast Corner Curb Extension Cannon will prepare a street improvement plan to accommodate the design of a proposed curb extension on the southeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue. The street improvement plan will include a curb extension detail prepared at 1”=5’ scale and will include a detailed horizontal layout, eleva ons and grades, construc on notes, and applicable details. Ver cal profiles are excluded from the scope of work. Cannon will also prepare any addi onal technical specifica ons and cost es mates associated with the proposed curb extension. Plans, specifica ons, and cost es mates will be submi(ed at the 60%, 90%, and 100% design stages.
ASSUMPTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
The following assump ons and exclusions apply to this proposal:
• City shall make available all exis ng data, record drawings, and informa on relevant to the proposed project.
• City shall pay all outside agency fees, if any.
• Prepara on of WQMP and SWPPP is excluded from the scope of work. • Traffic control plans to be prepared by the awarded contractor. • Curb extension design is excluded from the scope of work. • All work not set forth in the scope of work shall be deemed addi onal work. Should addi onal work be required, it is the responsibility of City staff and/ or Cannon to ini ate nego a ons for such work. Addi onal work will not commence without wri(en authoriza on from City staff.
