DESIGN ENGINEERING Scope of Work
Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 surv ey mapping
Onward Engineering (OE) provides a wide range of surveying services to various clients throughout Southern California. OE works on staying at the forefront of technology so that we can use the latest tools in performing accurate and efficient surveys for our clients. We understand that Land Surveying is important for accurately locating the built environment relative to it’s surroundings and legal boundaries. Overall, land surveying is essential for effective land management, sustainable development, and the efficient use of natural resources. It provides accurate spatial information that underpins many aspects of modern society, from urban planning and construction to environmental protection and economic development. We can perform many types of land surveys to suit the City’s needs. In general we offer the following services:
topographic survey
A topographic survey is performed in order to collect the detailed information about an existing environment and plotted on a scaled map. The survey is meant to gather terrain information, vegetation, structures, visible utilities, grade breaks, and drainage patterns. OE performs a topographic survey using various tools in order to provide the most detail necessary for the City. This might involve cross sections at every 25’ or 50’ along a corridor to get detailed surface information.
laser scanning
OE collects topography data and photos using a terrestrial laser scanner. The laser scanner is equipped with a highspeed 3D scanning system that measures 500,000 points per second and HDR 360-degree images. The advantage of laser scanning is it provides high density accuracy, fast data collection, and a clear representation of the existing conditions using a colorized point cloud of the site as shown in the sample image.
The 3D point cloud produced allows linework to be quickly drafted and for a more accurate placement of objects for the existing utility appurtenances. Appurtenance geometry such as utility pole, fence and tree diameters are accurately documented as the entire circumferences of the objects are measured rather than the single point which is typically collected from a traditional survey. This allows a precise identification of ADA clearance issues to ensure an accurate design.
DRON E MAPPING
A site assessment is enhanced with the collection of high-resolution aerial photographs using our drone. Our team has three remote pilots licensed by the FAA to fly drones for commercial use. The aerial photographs allow us to accurately denote site surface features, areas of excessive pavement distress, utility notification markings, and street striping, as well as providing us with highly detailed reference data that cannot be achieved through traditional site evaluation methods. Additionally, the images collected are at a higher resolution than images provided by other sources and are ideal for use in the preparation of exhibits.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 The images below, collected for a previous project, demonstrate the level of detailed information that can be collected using drone technology. The aerial photos collected are consolidated in post-processing to create complete street segments with very high levels of detail.
ADA RAMP DETAIL ASPHALT CRACKING
center line & right -of-way establish ment
Land surveying for centerline and right-of-way establishment involves precise measurements and documentation to define the path of roads, highways, railways, or other transportation corridors, as well as the boundaries of the land allocated for their construction and maintenance.
OE’s process involves researching existing maps and legal documents to determine the limits of the right-of-way, property boundaries, and easements. Our field crew then performs a field survey using a combination of GPS tools and conventional survey equipment to determine the centerline alignments and limits of the right-of-way. Our field crew then locates existing monuments along the corridor and references them to existing recorded maps. This survey is not a full boundary survey, but involves the field work necessary in determining the Centerline of the requested corridor.
constr uct ion staking
When performing construction staking, OE conducts a thorough review of the project plans, specifications, and relevant documents provided by the City and project stakeholders. We:
•Coordinate with the City, Project Engineer, Contractor, and other parties involved to understand the project requirements and schedule.
•Mobilize survey crews equipped with state-of-the-art surveying instruments, including total stations, GPS receivers, and data collectors, to the construction site. •Establish control points and reference benchmarks using precise surveying techniques for accurate georeferencing.
•Conduct field surveys to stake out critical construction points, including curbs, centerlines, flowlines, utilities, drainage features, structures, and other project elements, as per the project plans and specifications.
•Ensure that all staking is performed in accordance with applicable surveying standards, regulations, and best practices.
monument preservat ion & corner records
Monument preservation and the preparation of corner records are crucial tools for maintaining established markers to be referenced for future land surveys and locating centerlines and property lines. Preparing a corner record in California involves documenting the establishment and location of property corners and centerline monuments for land parcels.
Our survey crew meticulously gathers field data using advanced surveying equipment to accurately determine the coordinates and physical characteristics of each monument. This process typically includes researching historical records, conducting field surveys, and verifying monumentation to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the corner record. Once the necessary data is collected, our surveyors draft a detailed corner record document that includes a SECTION 2: Firm Qualifications & Experience

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 description of their monument type, dimensions, and relationships to adjacent features. The corner record is then submitted to the City for review and approval, and upon acceptance, it becomes an official record of the property corners for legal purposes.
The corner record serves as a vital reference for property owners, land developers, and government agencies in delineating property boundaries and surveyed corners, allowing for clarity and certainty in land ownership, property rights, and reliable survey records.
record of survey maps
This involves documenting survey data to create an official record of property boundaries, land divisions, and other survey-related information. Our Surveyors conduct field surveys to accurately measure and delineate area boundaries and document survey monuments, property corners, and other boundary markers. Our team then compiles the data into a detailed map that depicts the surveyed boundaries, easements, encroachments, and other relevant features whilst checking conformance with state and local surveying regulations and standards, including specific formatting requirements and technical specifications, and incorporating all necessary legal descriptions, notes, and annotations.
We then conduct quality control checks to identify, address and correct discrepancies or inconsistencies identified during the review process to achieve accuracy and integrity of the final map. Once approved, the map is signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor.
tract and parcel mapp ing
Tract and Parcel Maps define the subdivision of land into individual lots or parcels. Our Surveyors measure and delineate the boundaries of the tract or parcel, as well as any easements, etc. and then compile the collected data and draft a comprehensive map that depicts the layout and configuration of the subdivided land. For Tract Maps, which typically involve larger subdivisions, the map includes information about the layout of streets, blocks, lots, and common areas, as well as any applicable easements, dedications, or restrictions. Parcel Maps, on the other hand, focus on smaller subdivisions such as individual parcels with their respective boundaries, dimensions, and legal descriptions.
The drafting of the maps must adhere to strict regulatory requirements and standards established by the California Land Surveyors Act, including specific formatting guidelines, scale ratios, and technical specifications. We also incorporate any necessary legal descriptions, annotations, or notes to provide clarity and context to the map. The map undergoes review, quality control, and is then signed and sealed, certifying its accuracy and compliance with surveying standards. The completed map serves as a legally binding document that defines the boundaries and ownership of the subdivided land parcels.
temporary constr uct ion easements
OE establishes temporary rights-of-way and accesses permissions granted to construction crews or contractors for a specified period during the construction phase of a project. OE’s Survey crew defines the boundaries and terms of these temporary easements by conducting a thorough assessment of the construction site and project plans to determine the areas where temporary access or use of land is necessary.
This assessment involves identifying potential obstructions, existing property boundaries, and utilities. OE then works closely with project engineers, developers, and landowners to determine the limits for the temporary easements.
This involves drafting legal descriptions and exhibits of the temporary easements. We work closely with the City and Engineer to include the duration of access, permitted activities, compensation (if applicable), and any restrictions or requirements imposed by the landowner or regulatory authorities.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 DESIGN engineering QA/QC
QA Quality Assurance (QA) is a proactive measure to verify that our systems and procedures align with the City’s requirements and expectations. Achieving design quality is crucial for controlling costs during construction. By dedicating resources to producing quality designs, QA delivers a better return on investment and must be adhered to throughout all phases of project design.
The most effective Construction Management (CM) approach begins during the design phase. Emphasizing design quality and clarity is the best way to minimize change orders, claims, and construction costs. Our QA approach focuses on creating well-documented, well-designed plans and specifications that meet a high standard of quality. This means our designs must be Clear, Complete, Correct, Consistent, and Constructible (the “5 C’s”).
Providing contractors with high-quality plans allows them to understand exactly what to bid on, minimizing areas of interpretation. The requirement for public bidding further incentivizes our design engineering team to achieve both quality and clarity in project plans and specifications. Our primary goal is to achieve the highest project quality by implementing and maintaining accuracy and consistency across all calculations, drawings, and specifications in project documents.

QC Quality Control (QC) involves performing all activities in conformance with valid requirements, regardless of their overall contribution to the design process. Good CAD techniques, attention to detail, and ensuring that plans are accurate and useful to the contractor are essential components of quality.
Our project engineers and project managers understand that quality results from a series of processes. It requires a team to perform numerous appropriate activities at the right times during the plan development process. QC is not just a final review; it is an ongoing approach that emphasizes quality throughout every phase of the design process.
At OE, we believe in designing smarter and building better. Our design team adheres to established design policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines in the preparation and review of all design products, ensuring compliance and good engineering practices as directed by the Project QC Plan. This continuous focus on quality helps us deliver superior results for every project.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 pro ject CONTROLS
Effective project controls are essential for managing and delivering successful projects. At OE, our project controls framework encompasses a range of activities and processes designed to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. Below are the key components of our project controls approach. design kick-off meeting & project meetings
The kickoff meeting is a critical first step in setting the stage for a successful project. During this meeting, we:
• Establish project goals and objectives as well as any technical requirements. • Define roles and responsibilities.
• Review the project schedule and milestones.
• Discuss potential risks and mitigation strategies.
• Set expectations for communication and collaboration.
Regular project meetings are held to monitor progress, address any issues, and keep all stakeholders informed. These meetings facilitate open communication, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Monitoring the project schedule is vital to identify any delays early and take corrective actions. Our approach includes:
• Regularly updating the project schedule. • Comparing planned progress with actual progress. • Identifying the root causes of any slippage. • Implementing corrective measures to get the project back on track.
We hold two internal meetings weekly: one for status updates and the other for resource allocation. These meetings help us stay aligned, address any emerging issues promptly, and ensure that resources are used effectively to keep the project on track.
Ear ned Value & Planned Value Report ing
To support this process, we prepare Earned Value (EV) Reports and Planned Value (PV) Reports on a monthly basis.
These reports help us:
• Assess the “Health of Schedule” by comparing the value of work planned (PV) to the value of work actually completed (EV). • Proactively identify schedule variances and areas that may require corrective action. • Provide transparency and insight into project progress for all stakeholders.
By proactively tracking schedule slippage and using EV and PV reports, we minimize delays and keep the project moving forward.
Agile Project Management
We also use ClickUp to monitor and track workload and resources. ClickUp enables us to manage tasks, allocate resources efficiently, and monitor project progress in real-time. Various views within ClickUp help us manage different phases of the project, such as utility notifications and research. It also supports views like Task List, Gantt Chart, and Kanban Boards. This tool supports our Agile Project Management (PM) practices by allowing us to:

• Access to ClickUp for real-time collaboration with the City. • Inclusion of Earned Value (EV) and Planned Value (PV) reports for transparent progress tracking.
These reports ensure transparency and enable informed decision-making. document CONTROL
Proper document control is essential for maintaining project integrity and ensuring that all project documents are accurate and accessible. Our document control practices include:
• Utilizing Box Enterprise as our document management system. • Operating on a HIPAA-certified, enterprise-grade, cloud filing system. • Mapping all of the City’s standards, folder structures, templates, and document formats for implementation. • Storing all documents on our cloud-based Box Enterprise account. • Allowing secure, remote access and review of our entire filing system by City staff. • Ensuring compliance with project requirements and Caltrans’ LAPM filing requirements. • Enabling City staff to select passwords for access to view, upload, or download any project files (e.g., PS&E, schedules, utility logs, field observations, daily reports, photo diaries) without changing the City’s existing IT framework. • Providing flexible access to project files from anywhere and on any device, and enabling access to select files for other collaborators.
Effective document control helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that everyone is working with the latest information.
cost CONTROL
One of our core corporate philosophies is honesty and transparency, and costs and budgeting are no exception.
Our cost control measures include:
• Using advanced financial software to prepare invoices and reports. • Allowing the City to request billing statements at any time during the billing cycle. • Providing real-time reports of hours and expenses, enabling the City to easily compare proposed resources to resources used and/or remaining.
• Ensuring the budget is reliable and accurate, and falls within the City’s allotted budget. • Demonstrating flexibility in reducing project costs or staying within the budget.

team
OE provided the City of Jurupa Valley with Professional Design Services for the 2018-2019 ADA Improvement Project.
The project consisted of establishing 6 new ADA compliant parking stalls on Mission Boulevard between Riverview Drive and Crestmore Road.The project is within a primarily commercial zone and extends approximately one mile.
ADA parking stall locations were determined based on a detailed evaluation of the existing street configuration and surrounding land uses. Priority was given to locations where private property ADA parking stalls do not exist and where the stalls would provide accessibility to key services such as medical facilities and transit services. ADA parking stalls were placed near curb ramps. Due to the presence of raised medians at the ends of the parking stalls, access to most curb ramps would require traveling around the medians and into the traffic lanes. Where feasible, parking stalls were placed near existing curb ramps; existing curb ramps were assessed for ADA compliance and some required modifications or reconstruction. In locations where safe access to curb ramps could not be achieved utilizing the existing infrastructure, construction of new custom curb ramps was proposed. •Reference: Chase Keys, CIP Manager - (951) 332-6464 x235 - [email protected] - 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, CA 92509

COLL EGE BLVD. & RAYMOND AVENU E GRADE SEPARATION PROJECTS, FULLERTON Donald performed Project Management services for the City of Fullerton for this state and locally funded, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) oversight grade separation project. The State College Boulevard and Raymond Avenue Grade Separation Projects was located on Raymond Avenue intersecting the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad. Construction activities involved the elimination of the at-grade railroad crossing on Raymond Avenue to facilitate better traffic flow and increase the safety for vehicular commuters. This undercrossing was intended for greatly improving vehicular traffic flow due to the annual increase in train traffic. Moreover the intent was to also reduce the potential for accidents on the road. The existing horizontal roadway configuration of Raymond Avenue was continually maintained even upon completion of the project. Significant coordination with the simultaneous State College Boulevard Grade Separation project was a special project challenge that was met successfully. The initial work had involved storm drain and utility relocations. Shoring review for the BNSF railroad bridge was required and the temporary bypass road for Raymond Avenue was successfully completed. As one of seven OCTA grade separations along this busy corridor, weekly collaboration and coordination with simultaneously on-going OCTA projects was essential.
BASTANCHURY ROAD WIDENING & IMPROV EMENTS PROJECT, FULLERTON Donald served as the Project Manager on the Bastanchury Road Widening Project for the City of Fullerton.
The intent of the project was to construct improvements on Bastanchury Road between Harbor Boulevard and Fairway Isles Drive, a distance of approximately 1,950 feet, and to widen Bastanchury Road between Harbor Boulevard and just west of Fairway Isles Road from four to six lanes, a distance of approximately 1,693 feet.

WEST 17TH STREET WIDENING PROJECT, COSTA MESA
Ryan is providing Project Engineering services to the City of Costa Mesa for the West 17th Street Widening Project, from Placentia Avenue to Superior Avenue. 17th Street is a primary arterial. The Standard roadway width for a primary arterial is a 106’ right of way. The existing configuration was a 2-lane divided highway with center two-way left turn lane. The existing land uses were mostly commercial properties with a new mixed-use development at the southeast corner of 17th Street and Pomona Avenue. There were 16 properties along West 17th Street within the limits of this widening. The properties along West 17th Street had varying R/W frontages. This meant that widening affected each property differently. The design intent for this widening was to meet the classification of four-lane Primary Arterial as described in the OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). This includes 2-lanes in each direction with a median.
GREENSTONE PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, SANTA FE SPRING S Ryan was the Project Engineer for the City of Santa Fe Springs on the Greenstone Pavement Reconstruction Project.
The project limits were Lakeland Avenue to Sunshine Ave and Sunshine Avenue from Greenstone to Shoemaker Avenue. The surrounding business included heavy commercial and industrial with mostly large truck traffic. The existing roadway was severely distressed asphalt that had alligator cracking throughout the roadway. Working with the city we came up with an alternative approach to give this roadway extended life. The method of reconstruction we used was Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC). Since we knew that we didn’t want to impact the businesses, then this method drastically reduces the cure time of traditional concrete down to hours instead of days. It uses a machine similar to an asphalt paving machine in order to place a low slump concrete that is then compacted with a roller.
This method lowers the downtime for residents and businesses and because it uses paving machines then it can be completed quickly and at a much lower cost per square foot.The scope of work included 317,500 square feet of pavement reconstruction, 1,270 lineal feet of curb reconstruction, 2,700 square feet of sidewalk reconstruction, 1,510 square feet of cross gutter reconstruction, 6,800 square feet of driveway reconstruction and 26 manhole adjustments along with various other items of work.

CM & INSPECT ION Scope of Work
Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 Our Construction Managers (CMs) and Inspectors diligently review the contractor’s weekly and daily schedules before work begins each day. We closely coordinate with the contractor to establish a clear understanding of critical activities and the work to be inspected.
Identify opportunities and potential risks early to minimize or avoid impacts on cost, schedule, quantities, and performance. Our primary focus is on the early detection of opportunities or risks, followed by the implementation of alternative solutions to quickly address any issues.
Implement control tools and documents to support Change Management processes and the preparation/ review of change orders for approval. Our Change Management Control system provides early warning and approval control for deviations in engineering costs, material and equipment costs, and construction activities across all phases.
We meticulously track submittals, tests performed, samples taken, non-compliance reports, and inspection/ testing associated with non-compliant work through detailed reports.
Equip construction teams with the tools and documents needed to accurately estimate, plan, and monitor work, ensuring alignment with the project’s cost, schedule, quantities, and performance targets.
Enhance communication to give the City long-term visibility, enabling proactive and informed decision-making.
We provide thorough quality assurance and inspections to ensure that all work meets the required standards and regulations.
We actively monitor the contractor’s Quality Control Program to maintain high standards throughout the project.
With our extensive experience in Construction Management and Inspection, we recognize that a robust QA/QC plan, implemented from the project’s onset, is key to success. At OE, we follow a comprehensive QA/QC manual that clearly defines roles, responsibilities, expectations, review requirements, and quality standards for all documents and procedures within our organization.
Our team’s expertise, honed through numerous public works construction projects in Southern California, helps keep our projects on track.
We understand the importance of comprehending the entire project timeline, from start to finish, and we excel in creating CPM schedules and managing monthly updates with the responsible agencies.
Our Construction Managers will hold regular meetings with the contractor to discuss the schedule’s status and identify potential roadblocks or challenges. They will promptly review each monthly update and provide feedback or acceptance upon receiving the contractor’s submittal. At the start of every project, we tailor the QA/QC program and work plan to meet the project’s specific needs.
Onward Engineering’s approach to project controls involves conscious planning and execution of the work, along with continuous monitoring of cost, schedule, quantities, and performance, to achieve estimating, cost control, and scheduling objectives.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 orange vest application
Orange Vest © is a proprietary tool (web application and iOS application) which streamlines and organizes construction documents, built with the inspection team in mind. Orange Vest allows the CM and Inspector to document work in real-time, and to have field quantities, materials, labor, and equipment automatically update Quantity Sheets, Earned Value Charts, Cost Over Time Charts, Quantity Over Time Charts, and Percent Complete Over Time Charts. It also allows the team to proactively monitor bid items that are nearing 75% complete and keep track of any overages.
The Orange Vest © application allows users to generate Field Notifications (Incident Reports), manage Punch-Lists, automatically generate Weekly Statement of Working Day reports, manage Potential Change Orders, Unit Price Change Orders, and Contract Change Orders. On the Construction Management side, it allows users to review and approve/reject submittals and respond to RFIs.
The value of this tool is unprecedented. It took our team over 4 years to develop, and it includes input from former County, District, and Public Works Professionals and Supervising Inspectors.
The following showcases further details, features and usages of this tool:
RFI Module
Requests for information (RFI) –Throughout all phases of a project, questions come up. In the past, the questions would be fragmented across platforms. Some via email, some hard copy, some scanned, some via text, some over the phone. The RFI module allows you to centralize these requests and to respond to them directly. A user can submit an RFI, either as a user of the app or via a public link for each project. They also mark that RFI as Normal, Expedited, or Critical. They can also attach a PDF to that RFI if needed. Once it is submitted, the Construction and Project Manager is notified via email that an RFI has been submitted, they can respond right away, and the response will be sent directly to the original party that submitted the RFI. The system will also prioritize alerts to the PM/CM so that they address expedited and critical RFIs first. Anytime a change is made to an RFI, the program automatically makes a PDF that includes the RFI information, when an answer is added, that PDF is updated to include the answer. The system also auto-generates a PDF log of the RFIs.
SUBMITTAL MODULE
The Submittal Module allows Contractors to submit documentation for the materials and processes that they plan to use during construction. Our Submittal Module allows the Contractor to send in the PDF (via our app or public link). The Contractor can submit that document as a new submittal or as a follow up to a previous submittal (re-submittal). The PM/CM is then notified that SECTION 2: Firm Qualifications & Experience

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 a Submittal is posted for their review. The PM/CM can click the stamp icon and then start marking that pdf up digitally with a full suite of markup tools. When done, the PM/CM selects a status for that Submittal (Approved-No Exceptions Taken, ApprovedMake Corrections Noted, Rejected, Rejected-Revise & Resubmit, Rejected-Submit Specified Item). Then a cover page is autogenerated for that marked up document, which includes an entire tracking history for that Submittal as well as a digital stamp with signature. The system also auto-generates a PDF log of Submittals (both pending and reviewed). list of features

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 daily reporting
The daily report is the brains of the application. We built our app with the inspector in mind, as the inspector is the eyes and ears of the project. The daily report dashboard gives the inspector his daily information at a glance. The top bar allows the inspector to jump into work performed (to track labor, equipment, and quantities completed), PCO (potential change orders), notes, tickets, punch list, and weekly recap.
bid itemization
Adding a bid item is easy, and it takes all the guess work out of it. No more typos or inaccurate bid items. These are pulled directly from the bid sheet which is uploaded to the system as a CSV file (or manually input). Once a bid item is in, you are ready to add labor and equipment hours to it, or to add quantities performed that day.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 project classifications
Once you add a bid item, assigning labor and equipment is a breeze. Just select the classification, and the system will filter only the personnel and equipment that fit that classification. You only need to type out the name and description once, and it is available throughout the project. If you prefer to put the name and description first, you can do that and the system will show you a list of classifications assigned to that person and equipment.
NOTES
Notes are easy to input. They can be formatted & rearranged. You can use voice text to dictate your notes when you are in a rush. Then you can edit those notes later if needed. You can also assign notes specifically to a bid item, or you can type them out as general notes.

Let ORANGE VEST© do it for you. Also, the system captures as many photos as you take. You can take 30 photos and only include 8 in the daily report, and the 22 that are not included will automatically be saved as separate image files.
quantity module
The quantity module shows you the quantities for any period of time. You can view the quantities for the “prior period”, “to date:”, or “remaining”. Tapping the bid item provides a drop-down menu showing the breakdown of that bid item.

Docusign Envelope ID: 36001FB7-315A-4198-AFFD-EB51ABDB8A34 public outreach
At OE, we believe that effective public outreach is at the heart of every successful capital improvement project.
It’s not just about construction; it’s about people and communities. We know that keeping everyone informed, engaged, and supportive makes a world of difference. Minimizing disruptions, gaining public support, and maintaining a positive image throughout the project are crucial. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on public outreach. By sharing project information with those affected, we build trust and open lines of communication. This approach leads to fewer complaints, safer work environments, and a smoother construction process.
We understand the value of making the community feel involved and respected. Through proactive outreach, we turn potential challenges into opportunities for collaboration and understanding. It’s about fostering a positive experience for everyone involved and bringing the human element of our projects to life. public notices
At OE, we take pride in crafting and designing public notices (PDFs) with essential project information and updates for affected stakeholders. We handle this task on behalf of the City, ensuring that the community remains informed.
Contractors’ notices are often bland and hard to read or understand. In contrast, our notices are crafted to be clear, engaging, and informative, making sure affected stakeholders are aware of all the project details. These notices provide accessible information, helping residents stay informed about any driving or parking restrictions and other important updates. By making the community excited about the project’s outcomes, we foster a sense of involvement and cooperation, making the construction process smoother for everyone.
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate
the distressed asphalt pavement and
concrete throughout the project limits. In
doing so, we hope to improve neighborhood
connectivity and livability; and to enhance the
comfort, safety and aesthetics of the residents and
business owners throughout the neighborhood.
The project may require a temporary closure of
certain sections of the street and limited access
during construction hours.

OE provided CM and Inspection services to the City of Norwalk on the 3rd Stage of Construction of the Local Streets Rehabilitation Paving Improvements. The work included three separate City projects (No. 7924-Zone 24. No. 7925- Zone 25, and No. 7926-Zone 32). Stage 1 of this project included concrete improvements, and OE provided CM and Inspection services for Zone 32 of that phase. Stage 3 included a variety of pavement rehabilitation methods including full-depth repair, grind and overlay, and slurry seal for Zones 24, 27, and 32. Twenty-one streets with a total of 3.6 centerline miles were included as part of this project. These limits were within the two blocks of Highdale Street between Elaine Avenue and Ibex Avenue which had a PCI rated less than 25 (very poor). The streets were also adjacent to Edmondson Elementary School, requiring careful coordination with the school. The replacement of the deteriorated pavement and accessibility ramps was important to improving the safety of the school zone and extending the useful life of the streets. The rehabilitation work involved street repaving which included curb and gutter repairs, slotted cross gutter replacements and pedestrian accessibility ramps at intersection corners to meet current standards.

NIGUEL ROAD STREET REHAB ILITAT ION PROJECT , LAGUNA NIGUEL Majdi was the QA/QC Manager to the City of Laguna Niguel. The project consisted of rehabilitating an approximately
1.93 mile (10,200-foot) section of Niguel Road that extends from Alta Tera to Marina Hills Drive. Niguel Road from Highland Avenue to Marina Hills Drive (8,450 linear feet) is an arterial street with two lanes of traffic in either direction, raised center medians, centerline striping, left and right-turn pockets, and bike lanes. Niguel Road from Alta Terra to Highland Avenue is a residential collector street (1,750-feet) with one lane of traffic in both directions. A major part of this project involves the full design of the 64 ramps for the nearly 2 mile stretch hilly roadway. Parking was prohibited on the street except on the north side of Niguel Road from Alta Terra to Galina Way which required traffic management. Additional tasks included repairing curb, gutter, and sidewalk and constructing ADA compliant access ramps where required.
ADA ACCESS RAMP IMPROVEMENTS , PHASES 13-17, LAKE FOREST Majdi was the QA/QC Manager for the City of Lake Forest on phases 13-17 of this project, which was funded through the Community Development Block Grant. The goal of the project is to re-design existing access ramps to meet compliance with the ADA State of California Building Code, Title 24 Standards along with County of Orange Standard Plans, requiring a full cultural resources study and report of California Historical Resources, a Sacred Lands search, a Reconnaissance Report, and a pedestrian field survey of the project area. This 5 phase project requires a total of 113 ramp designs, reconstruction and replacement for a period of 3.5 years. The ramps components includes landing widths, side flares, and landing/running/counter and sidewalk cross slopes. Adjacent sidewalk, curb and gutter replacements are made as necessary to accommodate the new ramps.
FY 2022-23 ANNUAL PAVEMENT REHABILITAT ION PROJECT , PHASES 1-4, WHITT IER Majdi provided QA/QC Management services to the City of Whittier through 4 phases of their Annual Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The project purpose was to rehabilitate approximately 49,000 linear feet (9.3 miles) of 46 streets with a variety of slurry and cape seal, and grind and overlay in order to achieve an extended pavement service life while minimizing future maintenance needs, improve safety and enhance aesthetics. The required work involved pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk repair and rehabilitation, reconstructing 62 ADA curb ramps (52 with missing truncated domes), replacing 9 cross gutters, utility appurtenance adjusting and relocating, and signing and striping. The project also required Caltrans Encroachment Permits for streets around Whittier Boulevard, and permits for the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) due to street proximity to the right-of-way on the southwest end. OE’s in-house Laser Scanner was utilized to capture visible indications of surface utilities, trees, utility poles, luminaries, fencing, walls, sidewalks, hardscape, signs, and edge of pavement lying within the ramp locations, as well as lip of gutter, flow-line, top of curb, and back of walk elevations were documented. The survey also extended beyond the ramp’s BCRs/ECRs to ensure proper tie-in to the existing infrastructure.
CULVER DRIVE PAVEMENT REHAB ILITAT ION PROJECT , IRVINE Majdi provided QA/QC Management services to the City of Irvine on the Culver Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
The project spanned 1,800 LF along Culver Drive, from the north railroad tracks to Walnut Avenue. Culver Drive is a principal arterial roadway, providing northeast/southwest access through the western portions of the City of Irvine, while also serving as a primary travel route through a variety of commercial, residential, and institutional zoning areas.
OE designed localized pavement reconstruction at the northbound #3 lane and the southbound #1 lane, where pavement conditions were considerably worse than adjacent lanes; the length of the project was treated with fullwidth 2-inch grind, a 2-inch AC leveling course, and 2-inch ARHM overlay. The project also entailed removing and replacing existing median shed gutter with a standard 8-inch median curb, median island landscape improvements throughout, and ensuring ramps throughout the project were ADA compliant in accordance with 3R federal design requirements for rehabilitation projects.
JAMBOREE ROADWAY REHABILITAT ION PROJECT , IRVINE
Majdi provided QA/QC Management to the City of Irvine to rehabilitate Jamboree Road, from MacArthur Boulevard to Campus Drive. The project limits are on Jamboree Rd. from MacArthur Blvd., 400’ North to Campus Drive. Jamboree Road is a principal arterial roadway which provides northeast/southwest access through the western portions of the City of Irvine, it is also a major thoroughfare for beach traffic and toll roads. It is critical to note that the northern half of Jamboree Rd. in the project limits is within the City of Newport Beach, which required OE to actively coordinate with the City and obtain approval for the final design of the project. The design included the preparation of cross sections to determine the limits of edge grinding for ARHM overlay. The scope of work also included 6,270 tons of 10-inch Full Depth AC, redesigning and detailing nine ramps and two Right Turn “Pork Chop” Islands to meet ADA compliance, traffic loop installation, and installation of video detection at 2 intersections. Due to funding deadlines, the city required an expedited design for the project.
