Psomas | General Civil Engineering Design, Construction Management & Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation On‐Call Professional Services – City of Gardena Docusign Envelope ID: FAF67BAD-2768-4993-8CA0-B5CC3B5B57DD 5 Civil Engineering Design Firm Strengths
Psomas is a California corporation and our core strength is our multi-disciplinary teams of experts who produce awardwinning projects for our clients through innovation, creativity and cutting-edge technical expertise. As a full-service consulting firm, we help our clients create value and deliver complex projects. The markets we serve include any project within the public domain, including water, sewage, and stormwater treatment and transmission; renewable energy; underground utilities; roads and bridges; site development; and community facilities.

In proposing to assist the City through this contract, Psomas’ engineering and survey teams are supported by two other related groups: Environmental Planning, and Construction Management.

Every public works project requires the processing and approval of environmental documentation. Having this expertise within the team allows Psomas to offer a more cost-effective, integrated service to the City on said projects. Our construction management team is also well integrated into the team. In fact, they often provide constructability review services from the contractor’s vantage points on plan sets. Such a service enables the team to deliver a high‑quality, yet fiscally practical set of plans, specifications and estimates that not only meet the City’s objectives, but are also optimized for adherence to budget. Our construction management staff also provide expert opinions as part of the team’s construction administration services, which is also an added value of the Psomas team.

Psomas has a proven track record of meeting established schedules and is fully committing our key personnel based on their current workload.

With more than 80 staff in our Los Angeles office, we have professional resources from all disciplines available to support this commitment. This will be the local office serving the City of Gardena.

Problems and Solutions
The Psomas proactive approach serves to anticipate and expeditiously resolve field problems. Our team is well trained in problem solving. All issues are processed with a sense of urgency and presented to the City with suggested alternatives, cost and schedule impacts, and recommended solutions. The Psomas Team will quickly implement the alternative, which suits the best interests of the project and the City.

Management of Civil Engineering Services
We take our responsibility as a prime consultant seriously and want to make sure we are responsive to as many task orders (TO) as possible. We also Psomas' LA office where services to the City will be
mainly procured from

Psomas | General Civil Engineering Design, Construction Management & Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation On‐Call Professional Services – City of Gardena Docusign Envelope ID: FAF67BAD-2768-4993-8CA0-B5CC3B5B57DD 6 know how important it is to the City that firms submit on the released task orders so the City has an opportunity to review the qualifications of not just one team. This is why, over the last four years, we have implemented a new system at Psomas to better respond to TOs, as well as notify our subconsultants of the opportunities.

Psomas’ Contract Manager, Arief Naftali, will establish internal communication plans for their respective categories in this contract by which regular contact is made with the City to learn about upcoming needs. These plans are also very important to reach out to potential subconsultants since we share this information with them so they, too, can actively participate in scoping and staffing projects.

Once a team has been assigned to your project, the City will have full access to the team. Psomas understands our role may be to augment staff or to run a project in its entirety.

QA/QC, Budget, and Schedule Control
Quality Assurance reflects Psomas' dedication to excellence for all documents and deliverables in every aspect of our work. We implement a comprehensive review process to uphold the highest standards, aiming for deliverables that are free from errors.

PROJECT CONTROLS
Cost Management
Psomas values efficiency in time utilization and cost management. We are conscientious about manpower and tracking utilization and forecasting workload so we can adjust our workforce to coincide with project requirements. Psomas' Project Manager, Arief Naftali, will staff your projects with the right team at the right level to deliver a project in a timely manner so that the budget is managed efficiently and not wasted. We will review staffing on a bi-weekly basis for all our projects, as well as cost-to-complete on a monthly basis to verify our projects are within budget.

Document Management
Proper management of project related documents during both the design and construction phase is a critical step in making sure the project stays on schedule and within budget. Psomas files are stored in the cloud enabled by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This makes working, accessing, and transmitting files easy from anywhere in the world where internet connectivity is there and adequate.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) is a Psomas commitment to the quality of all deliverables and contract documents that our team produces through the City's on-call contract.

On the topic of production and product delivery, a key action item is to identify a senior, independent Quality Control Lead for each deliverable.

The Psomas team has assigned a highly experienced QA/QC Manager with extensive coordination, Andrew Nickerson, to fulfill this role. Andrew has served as Project Manager, Peer Reviewer, and/or QA/QC Manager for a broad range of infrastructure projects throughout California. With more than 32 years of public works experience, Andrew will use his knowledge and experience to manage the QA/QC services for each task order.

The QA/QC process incorporates several intermediate checks by the QA/ QC Manager as well as independent checks by the individuals assigned to the project. The City of Gardena is involved in project reviews at these intermediate steps so their needs are always considered in the process.

Psomas is committed to providing the best services available and follows the procedures outlined in Psomas’ Project Management Manual as well as following Psomas’ QA/QC Program.

The Quality Assurance Program confirms that procedures are developed and adhered to in such a way that the deliverables meet industry standards and are in line with the goals and objectives of the City. The process is meant to produce deliverables that meet the standard of care the first time with minimal rework and change orders.

Quality control refers to quality-related activities associated with the creation of the project deliverables. Quality control is used to verify that deliverables are of acceptable quality and that they are complete and correct.

The Psomas quality control activities include deliverable peer reviews and the plan check process.

Finally, during the post-completion quality evaluation stage, we solicit verbal and written feedback from our clients and subconsultants to assess Firm Qualifications and Experience 2

All these elements contribute to the success of our design review process.

Each QA/QC effort for each task order will be documented by annotating the drawing and specification in the appropriate places. Significant findings will be documented using the Psomas QA/QC Review Form. Completed review forms, including responses, will be submitted to the QA/ QC Manager and routed to the project file. It is anticipated the Psomas QA/QC Manager and the City's Project Manager will audit the files to confirm documentation of reviews is performed.

Uniqueness of the Psomas Process
What we consider unique about our QA/QC Program is our company-wide commitment to the process at all levels. We truly believe that nothing is more important than quality. Having in-house construction management and survey staff contributing to the Plan, Specification, and Estimate (PS&E) review provides additional benefits to the City. Beyond that, what has provided the most long-term value to our program is the post-completion quality evaluation. Regardless of the size or complexity of a project, there is always something to learn. By including our clients and our subconsultants in the evaluation process, we have greatly enhanced the quality of every project that follows.

Recently, this commitment to quality manifests itself tangibly by how precise our Engineer’s Estimates have been relative to the lowest responsive bids that came in for the type of roadway/highway work that we anticipate with the City. The following chart illustrates our recent track record of meeting our clients’ project budgets through our estimates, with minimal deviations.

GMU FOR PAVEMENT ENGINEERING AND GEOTECHNICAL

Psomas was selected to provide
sewer design services to the City of
Hermosa Beach, and the following
task orders were performed:
f Annual Sewer Improvements:

Soon after the construction
completion of a sewer rehabilitation project design by Psomas, under an on-call contract with the City of Hermosa Beach, Psomas was sole-sourced to prepare construction plans and specifications for approximately 1,700 LF of sewer lining, 10,900 LF of sewer replacement, and 116 manholes to be rehabilitated. An additional 5,800 LF of sewer pipe within an upcoming City paving project was added and evaluated for structural and operational deficiencies. The project was organized into six distinct areas derived from the 2017 Sewer Master Plan (SMP).

The City hired Psomas to evaluate the existing conditions of these selected sewer segments and confirm the SMP’s recommendations or provide supplemental recommendations if appropriate. Our NASSCO-certified engineers evaluated the CCTV reports and videos and categorized each of the segments into one of the following:
Remove and Replace: Removal and replacement of the entire pipe segment from manhole to manhole
Point Repair: Removal and replacement of localized portions of a pipe (typically 4–35 LF)
Line Pipe: Cured-in-place (CIPP) liner from manhole to manhole

f Annual Sewer Improvements Phase 2 Pump Station: The City's Sewer Lift Station (SLS) currently does not have emergency backup power.

During periods of power outages, the City brings a portable generator to the site and manually connects the portable generator to the SLS.

However, during power outages, the sewage backups up relatively quickly into the neighboring residences due to the hydraulics of the SLS. Psomas evaluated two alternatives to improve the emergency power facilities at the SLS to minimize the time it takes to energize emergency power for the station. The alternatives include installation of a permanent generator adjacent to the SLS or purchase of a trailer mounted portable generator and installation of quick disconnect at the SLS.

Creek was built in 1938 and
seismically retrofitted in 2000.

Having only two eastbound lanes
and one westbound lane, the aging
bridge is in need of major repairs,
widening and/or replacement.

The ultimate goal of the project
is to increase capacity, providing
four travel lanes, two bike lanes,
sidewalk, guardrail, and a bike
ramp.

For this project, Psomas provided civil design services as a subconsultant to IDC Consulting Engineers, Inc. The City of Culver City contracted the IDC/Psomas design team to provide preliminary engineering for a bridge type selection and retrofit strategy report. Various alignments and widening scenarios were analyzed for feasibility of right-of-way, cost, utility relocations, and traffic constraints. It was concluded that a bridge replacement would provide the best cost-benefit option. The overall construction budget is estimated to be $6.4 million.

Permitting, coordination and easements were required and pursued with LADPW/LACFCD, City of Los Angeles, LADWP, BSL, LADOT, as well as numerous environmental permits which included the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The City took a role as the lead environmental agency, while Caltrans District 7 took a leading role in regard to NEPA compliance.

of El Monte to prepare PS&E,
surveying, environmental and
permitting, community outreach,
and construction support
services for the replacement of
approximately 12,800 LF of 4- and
6-inch water mains with 8- and
12-inch mains in two areas of the
City's distribution system due
to their age and to improve fire
flow and reliability. Because this
was the first phase of a major
water main replacement project, the scope also included updating the City's hydraulic model and running various scenarios to determine if the City should standardize on 6- and 10-inch or 8- and 12-inch pipelines for replacement of their aging, smaller diameter mains. This will eliminate the need to stock various different pipe sizes, fittings, valves, and appurtenances.

Psomas accomplished the scenario modeling, prepared an economic analysis, compared flow and pressure results, and prepared a technical memorandum documenting the analyses and presenting recommendations.

After completion of the 60-percent design, an amendment was issued to Psomas to design an additional 1,700 LF of pipeline replacement in another area where leaks have been prevalent, followed by a second amendment to provide design improvements for rehabilitating the pavement for all three neighborhoods, which will be advertised and awarded through a separate construction contract once the water replacement project is completed.

Psomas determined a Notice of Exemption was appropriate for this project and prepared the necessary form for the City. Permitting through the Los Angeles County Fire Department was also obtained for the replacement and addition of new fire hydrants throughout the project area.

Subject: General Civil Engineering Design, Construction Management & Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation On‐Call Professional Services Dear Mr. Kwak:

We look forward to partnering with the City of Gardena (City) to provide responsive and reliable technical services to support the Gardena community with the timely delivery of the City’s Public Works Capital Improvement Program and General Engineering. The City will need an on-call consultant who understands the City and your stakeholders, as well as the high-quality work required to deliver fiscally responsible projects to the taxpayers. With our long history of supporting public works agencies in Southern California, the Psomas team embodies these qualifications and more, and has proven we can be trusted to deliver projects that exceed expectations. Psomas is pleased to present this statement of qualifications to provide the following service to the City:

Construction Management and Inspection
From our experience with numerous municipal and utility on-call contracts, as well as the Psomas leadership of our Project Manager Misha Troyan, PE, QSD, and our Principal-In-Charge Brett Barnett, PE, CCM, QSD, we have learned the most important attributes a consultant can offer a City are responsiveness, flexibility, and understanding of technical issues as well as the community.

As an on-call consultant, we will act as an extension of your staff; thus, it is important to be good stewards of tax dollars and to be sensitive to community concerns. When you select the Psomas team, you can expect the following benefits:
f Responsiveness: Being responsive to an on-call task order request is a natural thing to Psomas.

As a firm, we have more than 50 on-call public agency contracts, including those with the cities of Rialto, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Anaheim, Irvine, Long Beach, and Los Angeles, as well as the counties of Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles. One of the keys to successfully managing on-call contracts is the commitment of the team's leadership to responsiveness and meeting the City's response time for task orders. This on-call will be managed from our Santa Ana office. We know that being responsive and delivering on promises is at the core of on-call contract management, as well as the basis of practical good service. f Flexibility: Demonstrating flexibility means being able to expand and contract to the needs of the City on short notice. This can be difficult for many firms given they may not Docusign Envelope ID: FAF67BAD-2768-4993-8CA0-B5CC3B5B57DD have the resources to deliver these types of services, but not for Psomas. Many of the staff listed in this statement of qualifications have demonstrated their flexibility to City staff in the past and are committed to continuing to provide the level of service. f Understanding the Gardena Community: As a vibrant, cultural city, Gardena continues to lead the way in community transformation and infrastructure investment. We understand the City's goals for delivering projects on time and within budget and believe that Psomas is the right firm to deliver innovative, timely, and cost-effective solutions to enhance the community and quality of life of your residents, business owners, and tourist.

As a Vice President and Principal of Psomas, I, Brett Barnett, am authorized by Psomas to contractually obligate the firm. Psomas is committed and able to serve the City for the Scope of Services for the contract term and our statement of qualifications is a firm offer for 90 days from the date of submittal, June 13, 2024. I have reviewed and understand the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and the Sample Agreement and am willing to enter into the contract with the City. I will serve as the primary point of contact throughout the proposal review process and can be contacted by phone at 714.481.7933, or by email at [email protected], should you have any questions. We acknowledge and confirm receipt of Addendum No. 1 issued on June 4, 2024. Psomas is able to comply with the insurance coverage required by the City.

Psomas is excited about the opportunity to serve the City of Gardena and provide you with professional services that exceed your expectations. Thank you in advance for your consideration of the Psomas team. I look forward to your favorable review of this statement of qualifications.

Sincerely,
Brett Barnett, PE, CCM, QSD
Vice President / Principal
Kevin Kwak

Quality Assurance reflects Psomas' dedication to excellence for all documents and deliverables in every aspect of our work. We implement a comprehensive review process to uphold the highest standards, aiming for deliverables that are free from errors.

PROJECT CONTROLS
Cost Management
Psomas values efficiency in time utilization and cost management. We are conscientious about manpower and tracking utilization and forecasting workload so we can adjust our workforce to coincide with project requirements. Psomas' Project Manager, Misha Troyan, will staff your projects with the right team at the right level to deliver a project in a timely manner so that the budget is managed efficiently and not wasted. We will review staffing on a bi-weekly basis for all our projects, as well as cost-tocomplete on a monthly basis to verify our projects are within budget.

Schedule Management
As trusted stewards of tax dollars, we understand the importance you place on meeting project deadlines. We utilize industry standard scheduling software including Primavera and Microsoft Project to develop a schedule for projects, generating a variety of reports, including milestone reports, subcontractor detail, critical path analysis, cost/resource loaded schedules, cash flow projections, logic diagrams, and short interval schedules (threeweek look-ahead schedule) for upcoming work.

Time control reporting monitors the progress of all activities against the master schedule, including design reviews, the permit process, and the various tasks associated with construction services. This information is tracked on a regular basis to measure progress, and to verify proper planning and prevention of potential problems and conflicts.

We have included Capo Projects Group (Capo) on our team to provide scheduling services. Capo's carefully crafted team of subject matter experts brings hands on knowledge and decades of combined experience to the team and allows us to quickly navigate and help resolve issues between owners and contractors. The Capo Team can provide as-needed, scalable services, and can quickly and efficiently support our clients on-site and remotely throughout Southern California. Capo's fundamental objective is to assist their clients by increasing efficiencies and profitability through improved planning, controls, and management. Capo provides scalable, multidisciplinary resources with backgrounds in civil and heavy civil construction, to transportation and infrastructure projects across Southern California.

Proper management of project related documents during both the design and construction phase is a critical step in making sure the project stays on schedule and within budget. We will implement a web-based system (Procore) for organizing, tracking, filing, and managing paper and electronic correspondence, including letters, Requests for Information (RFIs), submittals, contracts, reports, O&M manuals, progress payments, and change orders. This type of system promotes better recordkeeping; improves issue resolution capabilities; fosters improved team communications through written, verbal and electronic communication; and enhances problem solving. We are also adept at utilizing any existing software the County has in place for this purpose.

A Quality Assurance plan is a key element in managing our construction projects. Our focus is to deliver each project on schedule and under budget, with the level of quality defined in the contract documents. The foundation of our Quality Assurance efforts is the Psomas Construction Management and Procedures manual. This document informs the planning, development, and implementation of our Quality Assurance Plan for the construction projects we manage. We establish a system of audits, construction oversight and surveillance, quarterly document reviews, and regular independent assurance activities, including tests and survey checks, to provide a complete picture of the quality of the project and effectiveness of the contractor’s quality control program. We are your advocate in every respect and carefully watch over every dollar.

Meticulous coordination by our construction management team will deliver minimum change order rates and as-scheduled delivery of each project.

Although appropriate quality control processes and procedures may be implemented by the contractor, there is still a need to supplement this effort with quality assurance practices. Our team has the capability to observe, sample, and test the material at a frequency that will provide a higher level of confidence that the minimum quality standards defined in the contract documents have been met.

management services for this $40
million project. This project reconfigured
and improved approximately three miles
of infrastructure, including the addition
of exclusive dedicated right- and left-turn lanes at major intersections, installation of raised landscaped medians, traffic signal and street light upgrades, crosswalk and sidewalk improvements, installation of bus shelters and concrete bus pads, and parkway landscaping.

The project reconfigurations promote more efficient traffic flow. The project replaced water, sewer, and storm drain facilities along Century Boulevard.

Pedestrian accessibility was improved by the construction of Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalks and curb ramps, landscape and hardscape improvements along the corridor.

Additionally, the proposed project decreased the impervious area by 1.5 acres within the City's right-of-way, allowing for additional groundwater storage during rain events. Because the traffic levels on Century Boulevard exceeded freeway levels, the roadway pavement was replaced with 9-inch JPCP.

implements corridor-wide
improvements along Market Street (between the LA River and 800 feet of Cherry Avenue). The project also includes proposed recommendations from the North Long Beach Walkability Plan.

The project seeks to improve the overall mobility, safety, and built environment along the roughly 2.2-mile corridor for the North Long Beach community. Improving the streets and active transportation infrastructure will create a safer, healthier, better connected, and more inclusive Long Beach. Some of the challenges and solutions encountered on this project include:
f ADA Deficiencies: Initially the project required the contractor to modify only the worst locations and did not include most of the non-compliant sidewalks, driveways and handicap ramps. As a result, the Psomas team worked with the City to redesign and re-align the curbs and gutters on Market Street up to three feet from the current alignment on both sides of the street. Realignment allowed all driveways, sidewalks, curb, and gutters to be modified to comply with ADA.
f Existing Underground Utilities: Some utilities that were not shown on the plans were in the way of construction of storm drain structures. As a result of a value engineering proposal, the Psomas Team worked with the City to remove all underground storm drain construction from the contract. The team also obtained approval from Los Angeles County Public Works to modify existing storm drain inlets to suit new curb and gutter alignment.

f Street Light Replacements: The project included the replacement of 54 street lights and installation of new wiring and/or reusing existing conduits. However, some of the existing electrical conduits were deteriorated and could not be re-used. Working with the City, the team recommended trenching and installing new conduit and wiring throughout project limits.
f Existing Underground Utilities: Many utilities were not shown on the plans and it was discovered they were in the way of construction of new street lighting foundations. The Psomas team recommended redesigning new spread footings.
f Unforeseen Conditions: An existing 12-inch-thick PCC pavement that was under 6-inch-thick AC pavement not shown on plans was encountered under landscaped median islands. As a result, the team modified the irrigation system and plant palette as a value engineering proposal.

BACKGROUND
The City of Gardena is located in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, California, and was incorporated on September 11, 1930, as a general law city. It operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The population is approximately 62,000, occupying approximately six (6) square miles. It is primarily built-out, with a few remaining undeveloped parcels and a 9.4-acre wetland preserve, Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve. Gardena is bordered by the cities of Torrance, Hawthorne, Carson, Los Angeles (L.A.), and the County of Los Angeles, including their unincorporated areas.

The Gardena roadways are divided into three (3) major street classifications: Arterial (26.8 Centerline miles), Collector (28.7 centerline miles), and Local (57.5 centerline miles). Combined, the entire network consists of 113 centerline miles of streets with a weighted average PCI of 81.

The existing city-owned wastewater collection system comprises approximately 89 miles of gravity collection system pipes ranging from 6 to 12 inches, approximately 2,080 manholes, and one lift station and its associated force main. The collection system pipes within the City discharge to the LACSD interceptor at over 100 locations.

The existing stormwater collection system consists of approximately 29 miles of gravity pipe system (City SD = 12 miles & LA County SD = 17 miles) and 795 total catch basins (City CB = 216 & LA County CB = 579).

The collection system pipes within the City primarily discharge to the Dominguez Channel.

Lastly, note that Gardena’s water system is operated and maintained by Golden State Water.

The City has six (6) parks with community buildings, two gymnasiums, and a parkette. Additionally, the Gardena Wetland Preserve is situated next to Johnson Park.

You may reference the City of Gardena’s job specifications as your minimum guideline:
https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/cityofgardena/classspecs. The specifications for the Senior Civil Engineer position have not been developed. Therefore, assume that the job responsibilities are similar to those of a Civil Engineer, but require a minimum of 8 years of experience, including managerial experience.

TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.

GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Public works engineering contracts require careful
planning, effective communication, and precise
execution in order to avoid costly contract change
orders during the construction phase. Given the
complexity and potential funding sources of these
contracts, it is critical that the selected team have a thorough understanding of the design, approval, and
construction processing requirements for each funding
source and, as is the case for federal projects, the
requirements outlined in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). To ensure consistent and excellent
services on this contract, TAIT will employ our proven
5 step project management protocol: Understand >
Assign > Plan > Execute > QA/QC.

UNDERSTAND:

Upon receipt of an RFP from the City of Gardena, TAIT
will conduct a cursory project review and will research existing conditions (field, environmental, regulatory,
and stakeholder-related) to ensure we have a full
understanding of the scope. We will also meet with the
City officials to discuss the project and understand their specific needs and objectives. The potential scope of
work under this contract is anticipated to include local and state funded design services, such as preparing
detailed roadway rehabilitation or widening plans,
pipeline construction plans, signing & striping plans,
traffic signal modification, traffic control plans, project cost estimates, and project specifications in accordance with City standards. Design services may also require
analysis of CEQA/NEPA requirements, preparation of
design reports for hydrology and pre/post construction
water quality documents (LID/SWPPP/NOI), review
of construction phasing and impact, and the analysis of existing and proposed storm, sewer, and water facilities.

TAIT has reviewed the City’s CIP budgets for Fiscal years 2024/25 and 2025/26, noting a strong emphasis
on street and transportation projects. Accordingly,
our “Similar Projects and Services,” section highlights relevant projects in these areas. Additional projects are listed in the “References” section. The CIP budget also emphasizes park improvements over the next two years.

While we anticipate that most of these projects will be assigned to your landscape on-call consultants, TAIT
has extensive experience in civil engineering for park
projects.

ASSIGN:

TAIT has in house expertise in public works roadway,
water, sewer, storm drain, surveying, hydrology/
hydraulics, pre/post construction water quality control, architecture, and minor structural engineering and
analysis. Based on the scope of the project, TAIT’s
Senior Project Manager will assign a lead Project
Manager and/or Project Engineer to each contract
whose background best matches the needs and
complexity of the project. Key sub-consultants such as
landscaping, geotechnical and traffic engineering team
members will then be assigned to the project at this
phase based on the needs of the project.

PLAN:

We will prepare and submit a clear and concise scope
of work, project schedule, and fee proposal that includes all necessary tasks to successfully complete the contract.

Key considerations in the planning phase will include the funding source (local/state/federal) and associated

TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.

GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES permitting/documentation requirements, stakeholder
requirements/needs, level of design detail desired
by the City (plan/plan & profile), storm water quality
requirements, coordination and meeting needs, and the
overall scheduling needs.

EXECUTE:

Upon issuance of the notice to proceed, TAIT will
implement the project plan with meticulous detail.

Our assigned project manager will maintain open
communication with the City and will remain available
and responsive to the City’s needs through the life of the project.

QA/QC:

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) are
integral to our process. TAIT employs rigorous QA/
QC procedures to review and verify all deliverables.

A QA/QC manager will be assigned to each project
to 1) ensure a quality design is employed, 2) verify
all agencies/disciplines are coordinated 3) check
constructibility through review of PS&E at each submittal, and 4) conduct an informal engineering cost assessment
to ensure compliance with the City’s specific project
goals. See Page 8 for a more detailed description of
our QA/QC Program.

RISK MANAGEMENT:

The greatest risk for delays in a project is the lack of foresight and understanding of the scope. With our
proven work experience, high caliber staffing, and as a result of our 5 step project management protocol, The
City can be assured that our proposals are complete
and that our assigned team is fully qualified to design the project. Each proposal to the City will be accompanied
with a detailed project schedule that outlines key
milestones, permitting needs, plan submittals, agency
review periods, and utility coordination/notification
dates. TAIT will also stay in close contact with the City during the life of the project in order to ensure the project remains on schedule.

SCHEDULE CONTROL:

The Project Manager is responsible for efficiently
directing the team and completing projects within the
established budget. To accomplish this, the Project
Manager must authorize and approve all time cards,
work reports, change orders and expense sheets with
the current modules of Deltek, which allows our project managers to track budgets, resources, contracts, and
hours for each project. However, in cases where a
project design has been delayed at no fault of the City, TAIT Management would reassess assigned personnel
to the project, and review effort completed to make sure design is on point and has not deviated from the agreed upon path. Meetings with project team personnel
would be held to review the project and discuss options to accelerate design without impacting quality and the
required deliverables. Additional personnel, overtime,
and assignment of more senior level staff would be
options considered by TAIT Management to bring the
project back on schedule at no additional cost.

CLIENT SERVICE:

Our client service approach is to know and understand
the client’s needs concerning the project, allowing us to assist the client as if we are an extension of their own staff. TAIT will follow a set of protocols established in our Project Instructions which will include the development of monthly progress reports (including schedule and
budget), meeting attendance and reporting, and a clear
understanding with the Client as to all Action Items that have yet to be completed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY
CONTROL PROGRAM:

An important feature of our design process is our Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program. Todd
Broussard P.E., QSD/P, oversees TAIT’s QA/QC
Program.

TAIT’s QA/QC Program focuses on the following four
primary objectives:

1. To ensure that a quality design has been provided by following our in-house design checklists

2. To verify that different disciplines and agencies have been coordinated

3. To verify that the proposed improvements are
constructible, and

4. To verify that a cost effective analysis approach was followed to achieve the client’s goals
TAIT utilizes a Total Quality Management
approach. TAIT’s philosophy is that quality control
begins at day one and does not end until the project is constructed.

Quality Control is the responsibility of each
and every team member. It includes the selection
of project team members who have demonstrated
through experience the ability to understand and apply
the project objectives to achieve a specific goal. It
requires open and continuous communications between
all team members and the client.

TAIT has developed internal design checklists.

Design checklists are used by our design team as a
component of our firm’s QC process.

Timely Quality Control Reviews are provided.

Before plans are submitted to outside parties and the
approving agency/agencies for review and approval,
TAIT’s QA/QC Manager or his designated QC team
member conducts a thorough review to verify the quality, constructibility and completeness of the submittal. A
typical TAIT QA/QC Program includes the following
steps:

1. Project Manager (PM) Transmits Design
Documents to the QA/QC Manager - The
PM initiates the QC process at agreed upon project
milestones.

2. QA/QC Manager conducts initial review
- The QA/QC Manager reviews the submittal with
the PM to obtain project specific information and
conducts a limited review on the completeness of the
submittal.

3. Review of the Submittal – The submittal is
reviewed using TAIT’s internal checklists. Necessary
corrections are identified on the submittal which is
returned to the PM.

4. PM to Address QC Comments - The QA/QC
Manager and PM review the QC comments to set
a course of action. Any proposed Value Engineering
(VE) measures are reviewed to determine the
appropriate next step. The reviewed documents are
then returned to the design team.

5. PM finalizes Design Documents for
Submittal to the Agency - The PM meets with
the design team to monitor progress and verify
incorporation of the QC comments into the design
documents. Any deviation from the QC comment or
the agreed upon action is reviewed for acceptance
prior to transmitting the final design documents to the City and other reviewing parties for their review and
approval.

Area 6 Slurry Seal and Overlay Project
City of Diamond Bar
In addition to the pavement analysis,
design, and implementation, TAIT was also
responsible for identifying sidewalk, curb
and gutter, and curb ramp improvements
throughout the neighborhood including
the removal and replacement of 19 curb
ramps within the steep, curvilinear streets of
Diamond Bar.

Special attention was paid on this project
to the appropriate use and identification
of patching areas in order to maximize the
City’s budget and to ensure constructibility
of the project. TAIT worked closely with
City staff to identify and isolate areas
of concern in order to ensure the City’s
benefits were maximized on the job.

Of notable interest on this project was
the removal and replacement of speed
cushions throughout Sunset Crossing
which would not be compatible with the
installation of an edge grind and overlay.

Additionally, careful attention was paid to
the presence of existing utilities to ensure the
proposed roadway treatment was taking
in to account the required adjustment (for
overlay) and protection (for slurry seal)
work items.

The project includes the design of
pavement rehabilitation strategies as well
as the identification and replacement of
non-ADA compliant curb ramps, sidewalk,
replacement of damaged curb and gutter,
and the identification and adjustment/
protection of utility facilities.

Of critical importance on this contract
was the design and coordination of the

the state of California Right of Way at SR73. The TAIT team actively coordinated with the City and CalTrans during the
review process in order to obtain project
approval and permit ahead of the bidding
date. Additionally, this contract was
complicated due to the steep grades
along the project limits. Curb ramps which
could not be made ADA compliant were
identified during the design review process
and memos were submitted to the City in
order to justify the final limits of the work.

Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
City of Irvine
TAIT was selected by the City of Irvine to provide civil engineering and surveying on the Campus Drive Rehabilitation Project from Michaelson Drive to University Drive. The project limits included a total of 4000 linear feet of arterial roadway rehabilitation and reconstruction on Campus Drive which is a 2-lane arterial roadway with bike lanes extending through the City of Irvine. It also included the design of pavement rehabilitation strategies as well as the identification and replacement of non-ADA compliant curb ramps, sidewalk, replacement of damaged curb and gutter, reconstruction and re-grading of the low point of the roadway due to flooding and ponding issues, coordination with IRWD and UCI for right of way and wetlands protection, and the identification and adjustment/ protection of utility facilities throughout the project limits.

Careful attention was paid to the roadway profile which required modification in order to raise the low point of the roadway by more than 6”. Plan and profile for the roadway was re-designed per CA Highway Design Manual standards, and extensive coordination with conducted with the City to verify that the pavement replacement scenario is in line with the proposed and revised grades.
