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).

QUESTIONS & RESPONSES:
1. In regard to the subject RFQ Scope of Work for General Civil Engineering Design as shown on page 4, can you please confirm if the City would like us to include Geotechnical services as part of the Civil component as stated, since there is also a separate RFQ category for Geotechnical service on page 5? No, please submit a separate statement of qualifications if your firm is interested in providing services in the category of Geotechnical Engineering, Geology, and Material Testing. This category is intended for direct geotechnical services for the City. For General Civil Engineering Design, it is expected that the lead consultant will team up with your desired geotechnical consultant or your own qualified staff as needed to provide complete PS&E construction documents.
2. Can firms be both a prime consultant and a sub-consultant to another team in the same or different service category?
Yes, firms can be both.
3. Will the City allow the usage of the City’s logo in the proposal materials? Yes, the City will allow the usage of the logo.
4. Can you specify how “Associate, Civil, and Senior Civil” Engineers are classified? Is it based on number of years of experience or other criteria?
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. As mentioned, these specifications are minimal guidelines and consultants are encouraged to propose additional qualifications or experience to provide a competitive proposal.

6. Do you anticipate consultants to support and prepare grant applications? The City may request services under General Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and/or Landscape Architecture as applicable.
7. You are requesting references in the Similar Projects/Services and the References sections. Can you please clarify what information you would like in each section since both sections are asking for client contact information?

Producing Deliverables Free of Errors
Our firm consistently meets project schedules and controls costs through planning, advanced project management tools, and rigorous cost estimation processes. With a 95% on-time completion rate and an average cost variance of less than 5%, we utilize the Deltek Vision Management System for detailed accounting and project management, enabling precise tracking of labor, subconsultant, and direct costs. This system supports Earned Value Analysis (EVA) for regular comparisons of actual costs to planned costs and completed work.
Our cost control management includes tracking project costs, managing Contract Change Orders (CCO), generating detailed monthly pay estimates, and confirming clear documentation and measurement of item work before payment.
Our engineer’s estimates are typically within -15% to +15% during the detailed design phase, validated by parametric risk models and aligned with industry best practices. This comprehensive approach confirms efficient project management and cost control, considering previous projects, inflation, and factors contributing to the final cost.

Artesia Boulevard Arterial Improvements
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 (including our subconsultant, BGB) evaluated and presented four paving solutions to the City: 1. grouted river cobble;
2. exposed concrete; 3. concrete unit pavers; and 4. 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 (exhibit) to convey the proposed limits of added or deducted hardscape for City direction. Following approval of the conceptual design direction, we completed revisions to the previously submitted 95% design plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E). This consisted of the street improvement plans and landscape demolition plan, irrigation plan, planting plan, technical specifications, and cost estimate. • Cannon’s Subconsultant: BGB
170th Street Improvements

Redondo Beach Boulevard Arterial Improvements
The City of Gardena Public Works Department (City) retained the professional engineering services of Cannon to provide PS&E design services for the Redondo Beach Blvd Arterial Improvements Project from Crenshaw Blvd. to Vermont Ave., approximately 1.9 miles in length. The project improvements propose to improve safety, access, and corridor traffic operations by modifying the existing raised medians and installing new raised medians to replace the existing two-way left turn medians, extend left turn pockets, and improve traffic channelization. Other components related to the design of the corridor include pavement reconstruction / rehabilitation, addition of bulb-outs (which require evaluating existing drainage systems), upgrading existing curb ramps to ADA compliance, upgrades to the traffic signal system.

City of Fullerton, California
San Juan Street Reconstruction Project
The City of Fullerton needed to complete street, water, and sewer improvements along seven streets within the San Juan Community.
Improvements consisted of pavement reconstruction via full depth reclamation with cement; reconstruction of raised median (due to upheaving of tree roots); repair of broken/damaged portland cement concrete curb and gutter (rolled and standard); cross-gutters and driveway aprons; replacement and upsizing of existing water mains to 8” PVC; reconnecting existing water services; and removal and replacement of the existing 8” VCP sewer main.
Cannon provided civil engineering design services for plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) construction documents. The Cannon Team also provided topographic survey, geotechnical investigation, utility coordination, utility potholing services, and pre- and post-construction monumentation preservation services for the project. Survey services included topographic survey, cross sections, right-of-way establishment, construction staking, and monument perpetuation for one mile of residential streets.
Rancho-Verona Water Main Replacement
Cannon was selected to provide civil design to replace outdated 6” and 8” cast iron water mains in the Rancho Verona area, prior to performing street repairs. The need to replace the selected water mains resulted from age, condition, and capacity deficiencies of the existing water mains. The new pipeline provides a more reliable water supply to the community and better pressure and fire flow for the area. The length of the water mains replaced was 5,583 feet. The design included a new water main to be installed adjacent to existing water mains, and the old water mains to be abandoned once service laterals are tied over to the new line.

City of Anaheim, California
Modjeska Park Underground Storm Water Detention
and Infiltration System
Modjeska Park is an award-winning project that spans a 23.5-acre park in Anaheim, California. The City of Anaheim selected Cannon to engineer a solution to a multi-faceted problem. Extensive flooding caused by an under-sized storm drain line prompted an urgent local need for stormwater management. As part of Orange County’s larger Storm Water Resource Plan, the objectives were to protect and enhance regional water quality, manage stormwater runoff, and increase local water supply.
The project involved installing an underground, pre-manufactured infiltration/ detention system; two laterals to divert dry weather flow and stormwater; and a stormwater diversion structure to divert flows from an existing 48-inch reinforced concrete storm drainpipe that drains the 224-acre contributing watershed. The system was designed to capture and infiltrate a minimum of 150 acre-feet per year of dry weather, urban runoff, and first flush of storm water to reduce pollutant discharge to the Bolsa Chica Channel.
Cerritos Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure
Cannon provided civil engineering design, including plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), and survey services for this project located on Cerritos Avenue from Euclid Street to approximately 600 feet east of Euclid Street. The project consisted of constructing a five-foot wide, ADA compliant sidewalk adjoining the back of curb, with no parkway along the north and south sides. The work also included the construction of block walls and fences that were relocated and reconstructed as part of the project. The new sidewalk eliminated the need for pedestrians to walk along the side of the road or on a dirt path.
Cerritos was designed as a four-lane secondary arterial by the County’s Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) with average daily traffic of 9,400 vehicles per day. The sidewalk along Cerritos east of Euclid Street ended abruptly. The existing pathway consisted of an unpaved dirt path. The sudden sidewalk gap was a challenge for the drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and students of Loara High School located on the northwest corner of the Euclid and Cerritos. This sidewalk project provides enhanced safety and improved access for the school children and pedestrians in general. Cannon’s services included right-of-way acquisition and Phase I ESA.

City of Irvine, California
Jamboree Main Intersection Improvement
Strategically located in the heart of southern California, between Los Angeles and San Diego, Irvine is surrounded by major freeways. It holds more than 26,000 business licenses, Irvine delivers the benefits of connectedness, proximity, and customer accessibility. To continue to provide the necessary traffic flow, this project was designed to improve the intersection of Jamboree Road and Main Street to mitigate the future deficient level of service (LOS) by adding a fifth northbound and a fifth southbound lane on Jamboree Road, between the I-405 northbound on/off ramps and Kelvin Avenue. The improvements were designed to meet current City, State, and Federal standards.
Due to right-of-way constraints, sidewalk widths north of Main Street were less than recommended by the IBC Vision Plan design guidelines (IBC recommends an 8’ parkway and 8’ sidewalk width, proposed improvements are no parkway and 6’ to 8’ sidewalk widths). Any non-standard features required approval by the City’s Planning Department during final design.
This project included professional engineering services for the preparation of construction contract documents, including the following:
• Street improvement plan and
profile
• ADA sidewalk and curb ramp

Quality Assurance/Quality Control Process
Cannon is committed to providing the City with the best possible product, on schedule and within budget. To accomplish this, we use a Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) Program that is organized to accommodate the specific needs and requirements of each task order. Our QA/QC manager for this contract is Mr. Larry Kraemer, PE. Cannon’s 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%, 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%, and 100% and will be done prior to submitting the complete deliverable to the City. 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 follows our QA/ QC plan format.
Accurate Coordination of Subconsultants
Cannon has extensive experience in accurately coordinating subconsultants, having worked with 100+ firms. From project onset, each subconsultant is integrated into our Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process making them fully vested and accountable members of the Cannon Team. Regular coordination meetings and a comprehensive project management system help us maintain alignment and address issues promptly, resulting in seamless project execution. Cannon’s QA/QC Process is detailed below.

Mr. Solsona has 22 years of civil engineering experience in public works design, consisting of award-winning roadway widening, street rehabilitation and intersection improvements; sound wall and retaining wall design, preparation of traffic control plans and project study reports, and is recognized in the industry as an ADA design specialist. His proactive approach is carried out seamlessly through project management, engineering design development, and construction support services to public agencies throughout Southern California and he has a proven track record in providing innovative, cost-saving, and sustainable solutions (such as alternative pavement rehabilitation methods, including full depth reclamation and cold-in-place-recycling) on numerous street improvement projects for major arterials and residential streets.
Artesia Boulevard Arterial Improvements, Gardena, California: The City of Gardena 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 (including subconsultant BGB Design Group) evaluated and presented four paving solutions to the City. Our team prepared a design study (exhibit) 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 PS&E. Mr.
Solsona served as Project Manager.
170th Street Improvements, Gardena, California: This project spans 0.50 miles from Normandie Avenue to Vermont Avenue. Funded partly by $500,000 from the Federal Surface Transportation Program, the project focused on enhancing street drivability and aesthetics. Key accomplishments included rehabilitating asphalt concrete pavement, repairing concrete curbs and sidewalks, upgrading curb ramps to ADA standards, and installing a traffic signal system battery backup at a major intersection. Cannon’s role encompassed preparing construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, and handling the E-76 Authorization documentation, culminating in a project that met the City of Gardena’s safety and accessibility standards.

Cannon has extensive experience in accurately coordinating subconsultants, having worked with 100+ firms. From project onset, each subconsultant is integrated into our Quality Assurance process, making them fully vested and accountable members of the Cannon Team.
Quality Assurance Process
We are prepared to provide our clients services for each phase of their project, from bid support through preconstruction preparations, construction, and project close-out. As the first order of work on a project, we develop a unique Construction Management Plan which is customized to the type of work, the plans and specifications, and contractual requirements of the project. Below is our Construction Management Plan Checklist. This checklist will be used in collaboration with the City during scoping meetings to determine which specific tasks are needed. This checklist forms the basis of Cannon’s approach. This is the framework in which we monitor and enforce contract compliance, and in which we document and record the thorough inspections, materials sampling and testing, and other Quality Assurance procedures required by the contract for the successful completion of a project.
Construction Management Plan Checklist

Golden Hill and Union Road Intersection Improvements
Paso Robles, California
The City chose a roundabout to mitigate high traffic flow through a skewed four-way stop at the intersection of
Golden Hill and Union Road. To eliminate the need for
extensive property acquisition, a one lane, dog boneshaped roundabout was designed to accommodate the increased traffic demand, including accommodations for
oversized 9-axle transports. In addition, by closing the intersection in its entirety for the duration of the project, the City was able to save millions of dollars in construction costs.
Cannon provided construction management, inspection,
construction staking, and materials testing. The work
included full depth reclamation, installing new waterlines, sewer, fiber conduits, streetlights, landscaping, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and roadwork, and signage and striping.

Distribution System. The Salinas River Segment consists of an approximate 700-foot-long, 70-foot deep, and 26-inchdiameter horizontal directional drill under the Salinas River. Currently, advanced tertiary treated recycled
water is discharged into the Salinas River Segment and
ultimately flows out of the Paso Robles Groundwater
Basin. The new Recycled Water Distribution System
will alleviate drought and water shortage concerns by
redirecting this discharged water to both private and
public irrigators on the east side of the City.
Cannon provided construction management, observation

Paso Robles, California
The City of Paso Robles needed to update the 21st Street Reservoir—an unconventionally-shaped, earthen reservoir lined with gunite and HDPE. The reservoir was covered with a wood roof and truss system supported by a concrete stem wall. Constructed in 1925, it had reached the end of its useful service life.
The City decided to replace the reservoir with a new, 4.0 MG, partially buried, pre-stressed, AWWA D110, Type I concrete tank. The new reservoir was named the Main West Tank to portray its function as the main facility providing storage for the City’s Main West pressure zone.
Cannon provided construction management services and
assisted in project implementation. Services included
construction management; construction observation; and
materials engineering, sampling, and testing. The new Main West Tank was constructed at the existing reservoir site and maintained the existing hydraulic grade line for the Main West pressure. The work included demolition of the existing tank and construction of the new tank and appurtenances. These included ladders, hatches, railing, air vent, safety equipment, and various SCADA and electrical equipment.

On-Call Professional Services
City of Gardena GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
DEA is committed to the City of Gardena (City) in providing our project deliverables that address the City’s needs as identified during the initial scope preparation. DEA will provide the following services for this on-call contract: General Civil Engineering Design
SERVICES
DEA has executed a number of on-call contracts with other agencies throughout the years, beginning with the planning and grant application stage through to final design and construction support. DEA has extensive experience in all aspects of the design of civil engineering projects, including street design, roadway widening, narrowing, rehabilitation, traffic design and signaling, alternative analysis, alignment and improvement plans, utility coordination and utility relocation, landscape architecture, hydrology, structural design, grading, survey, and street design. DEA provides a wide variety of multi-discipline services to both private and public clients.
Street Improvements, Repair, and Rehabilitation:
The approach to our street designs is tailored to the
needs of each project. Although the design services
are similar for street rehabilitations, reconstructions and widening projects, each project has specific
requirements based on many factors. DEA has
completed many street designs and brings our
knowledge of traffic impacts, business needs and
maintaining services along the roadways to our project
approaches. The scope of work will be adjusted to
provide the required services necessary to complete
the preliminary design and final design and
construction documents to the needs of the City.
Storm Drain and Drainage Design: At the planning
stage, the preliminary drainage analysis task is
performed to determine existing or project related
potential flooding, project impact to existing delineated floodways, modifications necessary to existing
drainage facilities to comply with the City’s
requirements to incorporate storm water treatment,
and to estimate associated project costs.
We will obtain available hydrologic and hydraulic
information from the County of Los Angeles and the
City as available. This may include the hydraulic
design parameters including latest as-built plans,
design discharge, design water surface elevation.
The existing drainage conditions will be reviewed. We will examine the existing drainage system and determine the impact the proposed build alternatives may have upon the system. Modifications, extensions, or replacement of the existing facilities may be necessary. We will indicate major impacts on the conceptual layouts. We will include appropriate costs for the drainage system revision into the cost estimates. A detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the existing and proposed system is not included in this scope of work as that would be prepared during the subsequent PS&E. The products of this task include preliminary estimates of required drainage improvements, cost estimates, and a conceptual drainage map.
Final Drainage: The basemap will be enhanced with data from the City and County to be used for the onsite hydrology and hydraulic studies and exhibits. Drainage areas will be delineated and field verified. Calculations will be based on existing and proposed roadway alignments. Hydrologic calculations will be prepared to determine the flows and flow patterns.

On-Call Professional Services
City of Gardena GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
Onsite hydrology calculations will be made for the 10-year storm, 25-year event, 50-year storm event for sumps per the requirements of the City as needed for the particular project. An existing conditions drainage map will be prepared to be incorporated in the drainage report. Following the determination of flows in the hydrologic calculations, hydraulic calculations will be prepared to determine the adequacy of the existing drainage system, including existing inlets, pipes, and outlets. We will also review the existing runoff carrying capacity and flooding locations. Hydraulic calculations will be prepared for the existing system.
We shall prepare the drainage portion of the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) plans set for the project following the design standards appropriate for the type of project and facility. Preparation of the PS&E plans set shall include, but not be limited to the preparation of the following drainage engineering related sheets including drainage plans, profiles, details, quantities, erosion control plans, and temporary water pollution control plans. Special provisions and quantity and cost estimates for drainage would also be prepared.
Water and Sewer Design: Work in existing streets, or
public right-of-way, requires knowledge of how utility
relocations are performed, familiarity with utility
companies, and agency requirements. The City will
benefit from DEA’s leadership in utility investigation, avoidance, relocation and coordination, and our
understanding of utilities on local transportation
projects.
Our team is very familiar with sewer relocation
strategies that mitigate impacts to existing flows and
capture lateral connections while maintaining a 10 foot clearance from potable water lines. In addition, we can design water line relocations that include proper corrosion protection, air release and mitigation to pressure due to unnecessary 90 degree bends. These plans will be modeled in Civil 3D for AutoCAD applications, and if necessary, modeled with existing utilities to verify there is a minimum 1 foot clearance (for constructability purposes) from any underground infrastructure. If a utility impact is unavoidable, we seek to minimize the impacts through creative construction staging, utility protection, value engineering and cost controls.
Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis and Reports / WQMPS, SWPPPS, and NPDES Documents Hydrology and Drainage: As watershed experts, our team has extensive experience gathering and using any available hydrology data. We have compiled historic rain and flow gauge data available throughout various cities to support watershed model calibration efforts and characterize watershed conditions for reporting purposes. We have processed the rainfall data to utilize as inputs to watershed models, as well as analyzed the rainfall and flow data to characterize typical and critical conditions within the region.
Our engineers have extensive experience modeling major watersheds, from large, regional studies to more focused engineering design. We are well-versed in the dominant hydraulic, hydrologic, and water quality models of the County (LSPC, HydroCalc) as well as other commonly used models (SWMM, HEC-RAS, etc.). We can design these models so that we can offer our clients the most useful information they need to confidently plan their stormwater program.
Our approach to storm water management and design incorporates the latest county stormwater regulations to maintain compliance with NPDES for the jurisdiction. Our hydraulic calculations and designs manage flows for the drainage area and focus on mitigating flood impacts along with flush out velocities in order to reduce storm drain manholes. We have a long history working with the local flood control districts for connections and relocations of existing county storm drain infrastructure, and have extensive experience relocating stormwater without impacting hydraulic profiles for larger drains.

On-Call Professional Services
City of Gardena GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
SWPPP: Our staff has extensive experience in NPDES compliance for public agency construction sites. Our staff includes personnel certified as Qualified SWPPP Practitioners (QSP), Qualified SWPPP Developers (QSD), and Qualified Industrial Storm Water Practitioners (QISP). In addition, we are well-versed in the State’s Standard Specifications, which outline specific requirements, based on the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Construction General Permit, for contractors to follow when implementing administrative procedures and the installation and maintenance of temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Signal Designs and Striping Plans: DEA has
extensive experience in signing/striping and traffic
signal plans for projects. Our proven approach is to
collect existing (as-built) plan information, and to
obtain the project topographic, street improvement and
any other pertinent plans. We will compile the base
plan and then perform field reviews and field
inventories, open pullboxes and vaults, and document
existing conditions on the base plan. We will identify
issues that might impact the design, and will prepare
the traffic signal and signing/striping designs. Our
striping plans will integrate the current striping at the connecting points of the street with the agency’s
drafting standards and striping per the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
Highways.
Geotechnical Engineering: DEA's subconsultant
Earth Mechanics, Inc. analyzes the properties of earth
materials at a project site by conducting appropriate
field investigation and conducting laboratory testing.
Data from the field and the laboratory is used to
evaluate whether those materials meet the project
requirements. They provide recommendations for how
walls, roads, slopes and structures should be designed
based on the underlying soils or rock. EMI’s
engineering team routinely provides geotechnical
recommendations for design of foundations for various
structures such as buildings and bridges, retaining
walls, pipelines, pavements, and other structures. If needed, our team can provide ground improvement recommendations to meet the needs of the planned structures.
Construction Specifications: DEA will provide construction specifications for the material and construction requirements to be reproduced as required for the construction drawings. We will thoroughly review the specifications against the plans to ensure their coordination. Technical specifications will start with the City's Master Specification Library, the Green Book, and Caltrans, and customized as needed. Our database holds a large inventory of technical specifications which can be used as a template. General Conditions and General Requirements are usually standardized and pulled from the City’s library, and we can assist with setting up the contract documents as needed.
Engineer's Cost Estimate: We will provide an opinion of probable construction costs, including a detailed breakdown of work, unit prices, material and total costs, and will include references for chosen unit costs at each submittal. Typical agency line items such as mobilizations, permitting, construction management and contingency will be added to the estimate.

City of Gardena GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
Land Surveying: The fundamental principles of
survey have remained virtually the same over time, the
technology employed continues to rapidly advance.
Using basic philosophies and applying the newest in
technology, DEA surveyors and geomatics specialists
take an integrated approach to blending the latest
tools with the historic past. From total stations to digital levels and GPS receivers to 3D laser scanners, DEA’s
surveying and geomatics team provide accurate,
dependable, and high-quality deliverables in a
resourceful and cost-effective manner.
In general, our day-to-day land surveying and mapping activities are as varied in scope as any potential work tasks. DEA is routinely involved with boundary, topographic, control and construction staking surveys. Along with the field survey effort, we are engaged with the office support duties of preparing construction staking notes, topographic maps, digital terrain models and survey reports. Our successes in the daily execution of work are based on experience and continuous active communication.
DEA’s team is staffed and fully equipped to provide land surveying services for construction staking and layout, geodetic and control surveys, topographic and quantity surveys, boundary surveys, and as value-added services we offer our in-house 3D laser scanning technology (consisting of static and mobile applications), and in-house hydrographic survey services.
Construction Support Services
Construction Meetings: At the request of the
construction management team, DEA can meet at any
site facility for discussions on submittals, RFIs, change orders and site conditions. Our team can develop
exhibits in preparation of any discussions with the
construction team.
RFIs and Submittal Review: Request for Information:
One of the key areas requiring swift response
and coordination is the contractor’s “Request for
Information” (RFI) documents. This is usually a request for design clarification or a correction of noted conflict in the drawings and/or specifications, and often has the potential for a claim. RFIs will receive the immediate attention of David Evan’s construction management team for a timely response, and will be a major component in claims avoidance.
RFIs will be received by DEA, logged into the document tracking system, and reviewed for completeness and format. Typically, our PM will respond to the RFIs related to the contract administration. The design-related RFIs will be sent to our design engineers. Then, all RFI responses can be logged in the City’s DTS system, reviewed for completeness, and returned to the contractor. A key objective is to avoid overdue responses and expedite them if they do occur.
DEA will keep the City informed of our management of the RFI process, provide a copy of the RFI Status Reports, and will discuss and assess our findings.
Shop Drawings and Material Submittals: To effectively manage the submittal and shop drawing process, DEA will create a master submittal log at the beginning of the project. DEA can provide support to the City, mandating for the contractor to reflect in their Baseline Schedule a tie for each submittal to each of the first activities in the CPM schedule that are dependent on the approval/procurement related to the submittal. This will assist the contractor to prioritize and manage the submittal process and minimize any delay to the project resulting from late submittal approval.

On-Call Professional Services
City of Gardena GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
DEA will coordinate the submittals from the contractor to the appropriate team member for their prompt review and approval, and forward all items requiring input from the City. If requested, DEA will use the DTS to prepare an overall submittal register, pending logs, late logs, and to generate reminder notices to the contractor as appropriate.
Providing As-Builts: “As-Built” Drawings: On a monthly basis if requested by the City, DEA will work with the construction manager to verify that as-built drawings are maintained by the contractors so that the actual work performed is accurately and comprehensively recorded. DEA will coordinate the construction manager to obtain the final as-built drawings from the contractor and update the design plans to reflect the final field conditions. Our team will stamp, sign and provide mylars if necessary.
Project Closeout Documents and Retention Release: The project managers will prepare closeout documents, including processing of all outstanding paperwork to attain final acceptance by the City for the design and observation services.
WORK APPROACH
Our approach for each specific task order proposal would be to first identify the appropriate team members to successfully accomplish the project. Each project is unique and as such we will develop a tailored scope of services / approach to satisfy the requirements. The approach would be to develop the project in close coordination with the City and the involved stakeholders.

TASK ORDER DEVELOPMENT
We anticipate that the first step in the on-call process will be the execution of a project specific task order. We recognize that this process is an extension of the proposal process, not directly billable to the project, and sometimes competitive with other on-call consultants. It is of high importance to both the City and DEA to develop the scope, fee, and schedule for task orders based on a clear understanding of the City’s needs and with clear expectations of the process and deliverables. DEA appreciates the opportunity to meet with staff in advance of this to obtain this information and ask for clarifications if needed. In this way, we will be able to propose an effective approach and complete task orders that achieve precisely what the City wants to receive.

FEE PROPOSAL
The City’s project manager will issue a task order solicitation to DEA’s contract manager, Steven Anderson, together with schedule expectations and other related project information. Steven will work with the City’s project manager to complete the necessary task order documentation as follows:
■ Project objective
■ Scope of services
■ Deliverable products
■ Schedule of milestones and deliverables
■ Specific staffing requirements
■ Labor rates, hours, and budget (not-to-exceed)
■ Other direct expenses (if applicable)
EARLY COMMUNICATION FOR CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Consistent communication is the cornerstone of a good working relationship between teaming partners.
The kick-off meeting establishes the stakeholders with input at each phase of the project. Communication plans can determine the frequency of meetings, how to correspond and who holds the lines of communication.
In addition, this can include document control aspects for sending and receiving information between teams.
COMMITMENT OF STAFF
During task order development, DEA’s management team will commit the specific technical team required to complete the project. Our southern California team uses a forward-looking scheduling process, specifically designed for responding to on-call work, and to assign staff for future work. The system is such that we are able to lock people into projects well in advance, thereby eliminating the potential for overcommitments, and assuring that the City’s schedule expectations will be met.
NOTICE-TO-PROCEED
The task order and cost proposal will be submitted to the City’s project manager, who will either initiate further discussion, or give approval to proceed. It is our intent to do a thorough job the first time so the needs for cycles of discussion/negotiation can be minimized.
TASK ORDER MANAGEMENT
Upon receipt of a task order notice-to-proceed, Steven will become the City’s point-of-contact for project execution and will work directly with the City’s project manager throughout the project execution phase.
He will manage the activities of DEA’s technical staff and be the principal technical expert to guide the project.
MONITORING PROGRESS
DEA task leaders are required to carefully monitor the progress of their projects to assure that staff resources are available as required and to make sure that the City’s overall budget and schedule expectations are being met or exceeded. Each week Steven holds a weekly workload meeting to review upcoming work, deadlines, and progress to date. At least once per week, he reviews budget status reports of each task on his projects based on the most current timesheet postings. Any task nearing 80% of budget is flagged for review with the task lead to make sure the remaining work can be completed within the budget.
In this way, issues are identified early and the task can be brought to the earned value to date via various project management tactics such as parallel design for non-critical path elements, work-around, and extending resources from other offices. To provide quality control and consistency, Steven will also oversee monthly progress reporting and invoicing functions.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY CONTROL
DEA’s Quality Management Plan is an essential element in our approach to deliver a project that meets or exceeds City requirements. A Quality Assurance / Quality Control manager is appointed at the beginning of every task order project and has overall responsibility and authority to implement the QA program, including resource and training needs, approving the Quality Management Plan, documentation, and monitoring progress. The terms Quality Assurance and Quality Control are often used interchangeably, but DEA clearly distinguishes these concepts as follows.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality Assurance (QA) is an overall program that establishes project related policies, procedures, standards, guidelines, and systems aimed at producing an acceptable level of quality in our products. These are things we do continuously before, during, and upon completion of specific project deliverables to make sure we understand what is required of our deliverables and that those requirements are met. But most importantly it’s the things we do during the process like setting and communicating standards and verifying City requirements, among others. The goal is to do things right, the first time, by verifying that the project requirements are clearly defined and communicated.
QUALITY CONTROL
Quality Control (QC) is project-specific activities consistently applied to assist with quality project deliverables.
The objective of DEA’s QC program is to detect and eliminate major defects in project work products and limit minor defects consistent with commonly accepted standards. This is accomplished through the application of continuous checks and comprehensive reviews prior to each delivery milestone adopting the 30-60-90 percent review. We believe that this procedure will increase quality control, attention to project controls, and target budgets. The QC program is project specific (technical review, accuracy review, interdisciplinary review, constructability review) and is implemented under the authority of the QA/QC manager.
DEA has developed internal QA/QC
tools that each discipline follows for the
development of all plans, estimates,
reports, or other deliverables defined in the
scope. These include detailed checklists
and narratives that highlight expectations
for all team members to follow. Internal
staff have been trained in and are required
to utilize these tools in the day-to-day
delivery of work products.
Before delivering any submittal, DEA conducts
independent internal reviews of all deliverables.
Should issues of quality arise after submittal,
DEA will work proactively with the City to
promptly resolve them.
Copies of outgoing and incoming
documents are stored in a filing
system that maintains the integrity
and accessibility of both hard copy
and electronic documents. The
City will be provided with electronic
and/or hard copies as required by
specific projects.
Our QMs receive special training in QA/
QC procedures and must pass a test
before becoming a certified QM. The QM
works closely with the PM to see that the
quality assurance and quality control plans
are strictly followed.
At project start-up, the DEA project manager
prepares a quality control plan that identifies the
quality manager (QM) and subsequent primary
reviewers for different project deliverables.

Soto Street Widening, Los Angeles, California
Scope: DEA provided alternative analysis through
final design for the Soto Street Widening from
Multnomah Street to Mission Road. The objective is
to widen Soto Street from two lanes to four lanes to
relieve traffic congestion, especially in the
southbound direction, and improve safety by
implementing the retaining wall to help keep hillside
debris off the roadway. The project will include a
wider sidewalk and bicycle lanes and will greatly
improve vehicular and bicycle mobility in the corridor.
The retaining wall will be built on the east side of Soto Street and is approximately 1,500 feet in length with a varying height ranging from 8 to 34 feet. The retaining wall system proposed in the 65% plans is a soldier pile system consisting of a cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) concrete piling below ground and a HP steel pile above ground, precast concrete panels and shotcrete facing. The project also included the implementation of landscape improvements, site furniture, hardscape, and wall aesthetics.

Fairview Street Widening Design and Bridge Replacement, Santa Ana, California Scope: The City planned to widen the street from 9th
Street to 16th Street from a four-lane to a six-lane
arterial which required preparation of street widening
and bridge replacement design, environmental
document, and regulatory permits for Fairview Street
Bridge crossing Santa Ana River. The widening would
provide adequate vehicular capacity within the City’s
northern limits. The project also included pavement
overlay, waterline relocation, bike detours, and traffic control design. A detention basin was included for a
treatment BMP and right-of-way was required for the
federally funded project. The relocation design of an existing 12” waterline was needed to accommodate the temporary and the final locations. Fairview Bridge is striped with two lanes in each direction with no curb or sidewalk. Bridge replacement is necessary to accommodate three lanes in each direction and to provide a complete bridge deck with barrier rail, sidewalk, raised median, and lighting for a total bridge width of 100’ wide. DEA's responsibilities included water quality requirements including the preparation of a water quality management plan, hydrology/hydraulic analyses, river modeling, roadway widening design, ADA compliance, utility design and coordination, traffic signing and striping, specifications, and cost estimate.

Bastanchury Road and Rose Drive Storm Drain Improvements, Yorba Linda, California Scope: DEA provided civil design services for a new
storm drain system in Rose Drive. During storm
events, the northeast corner of the Rose Drive and
Bastanchury Road intersection experiences localized
flooding. A concept proposed by the City to mitigate
these concerns was to provide a storm drain from the
Bastanchury Road/Rose Drive intersection along
Rose Drive to be connected to the existing 39-inch El
Cajon Avenue storm drain. DEA prepared a
preliminary drainage report and conducted a
hydrology study for all concepts and prepared PS&E
documents. DEA staff coordinated with numerous
utility companies for potholing and determination of conflicts and proposed resolution. The project also included new curb ramps at the intersection.

On-Call Engineering Services, Laguna Niguel, California Scope: DEA is currently under an on-call contract
with the City of Laguna Niguel to provide civil
engineering services on an as-needed basis. DEA
has been awarded several projects on a task order
basis including the following:
■ Sun County Senior and Community Center
Project: The City desires to maximize parking at
the Sun Country Senior and Community Center on
Aliso Creek Road at Moulton Parkway. DEA’s scope
involved preliminary layout design of six alternatives
along with preliminary quantities and order of
magnitude cost estimates for each one. Alternatives presented ranged from keeping the original parking lot boundary with minor changes to a complete reconstruction with maximum utilization of the existing lot.
The alternatives were presented to the City and the project is awaiting funding to move forward with final design.
■ Pickleball Courts Drainage Mitigation: this project included addressing drainage issues associated with the pickleball courts and surrounding park area at the southeast corner of Crown Valley Parkway and Adelanto Drive. DEA provided an exploratory phase including aerial and field survey, a preliminary drainage study, site investigation, and exploratory drilling of the courts. This information was assessed noting the deficiencies of the existing drainage systems, hillside seepage under the courts and retaining wall seepage in the retaining wall on the side of the courts. The resulting assessment with concept alternatives split the issues into two distinct projects. The City chose to continue with the Pickleball Courts Drainage Mitigation. The construction document phase, including plans, specifications and estimate for bid were prepared addressing three primary concerns including design of a small drainage system to contain the weep hole drainage along the south side of the courts; the addition of a v-ditch running the length of the west side of the courts; and the repair of the crumbling wall section spall at the midpoint of the north end of the courts.
■ Alicia Parkway and Marina Hills Drive Rehabilitation Project: DEA provided engineering services to rehabilitate Alicia Parkway (7,100’) from Highland Avenue to Crown Valley Parkway, and Marina Hills Drive (6,550’) from Niguel Road to Golden Lantern. 15 and 7 non-ADA compliant curb ramps along Alicia Parkway and Marina Hills Drive respectively were updated to ADA standards. The project also included traffic signal modification plans for adding traffic signal video/radar detection system and new traffic controllers to four intersections. Other project services included, field review, surveying, geotechnical investigations, traffic index calculations, pavement analysis, geotechnical report, utility adjustments, striping design (adding buffered bike lane), final PS&E, bidding document preparation, and construction support. The project included federal funding. Additionally we assisted the City on preparation of the federal funding paperwork to process through Caltrans District 12.

Aliso Viejo Ranch, Aliso Viejo, California
Scope: The City of Aliso Viejo proposed the
development of a 7.7-acre city-owned historic ranch
site. The proposed improvements consisted of
creating a community park preserving the historic
nature of the property and providing an educational
resource regarding the history and farming. The
improvements included an active sustainable farming
element based on fish ponds and natural fertilization
through the use of water from the ponds. Other
amenities included meeting room buildings, a storage
building, an amphitheater, a surface parking lot, and
associated landscape and hardscape.
DEA's scope of work included the preliminary and final engineering including a site survey, topographic aerial base mapping, grading, wet utility connections, site demolition, drainage study and plans, and the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). The site has poor infiltration capabilities, as such, the site will utilize a combination of infiltration basins, pervious concrete with underdrains in the parking lot, planter areas with underdrains, and vegetated swales. The design of the water quality system needed to meet the stringent requirements of the San Diego Water Quality Control Board. The requirements include mitigation of post projects flows to not exceed the pre-project flows of a 2-year, 5-year, 10-year and 25-yr storm event and preproject conditions being the original hills, before the Aliso Viejo area original mass grading.

Mitchell Avenue Storm Drain Improvements, Tustin, California Scope: During the City of Tustin’s routine inspection
of the existing storm drain system, they found the
existing CMP drain had extensive corrosion and
portions of the pipe had rusted away. With an
imminent potential for the pipe to collapse, block
drainage and impact the street and parkway above,
the City hired DEA to determine the best course of
action and then prepare storm drain improvement
plans for that option. The project consisted of
rehabilitating the existing CMP arch that has been
severely deteriated. The project scope included
preparation of a drainage report detailing existing
drainage patterns and system capabilities, including hydrology calculations per the Orange County Hydrology Manual to assess the operation of the existing CMP Arch storm drain and the evaluation of proposed improvements, preliminary drainage alternatives and cost estimates. Determined facilities required to meet current drainage system requirements including inlet locations and pipe sizes.
DEA analyzed several alternatives to rehabilitate or replace the storm drain. Preliminary alternatives included in-place rehabilitation, removal and replacement of the facility, construction of new facilities at new location/ alignment. Cost estimates were prepared for each alternative. Due to the excessive number of underground utilities and location within the parkway, the storm drain rehabilitation alternative selected involved ultra violet cured-in-place pipe liner. The liner repaired the corroded sections of pipe and provided a new drainage conduit within the existing CMP. Additional catch basins, RCP, and street improvements were also included in the design to mitigate storm runoff volumes flowing along Mitchell Avenue. The final plans consisted of lining the existing CMP with UV cured PVC and installation of additional catch basins and inlets. DEA prepared a drainage report including an area wide hydrology study. Alternatives were designed to capture a 10-year storm event. Due to the extensive underground utilities and existing power poles, pipe replacement was cost prohibitive and problematic. The preferred alternative involved pipe rehabilitation using a UV cured PVC liner. DEA prepared final construction documents for the pipe rehabilitation including upgrading existing catch basins and laterals, installation of new catch basins and laterals and stubouts for future storm drain extensions.

SECTION 8. RESUMES
Steven has 17 years of civil design experience, the majority developing civil improvements for public works programs. He understands the full spectrum of support through all phases of work from conceptual designs to alternative analysis, environmental documentation support, preliminary studies, final design, bid support and construction services support. Steven also has performed public outreach events, met with agency board members to discuss project impacts, drafted technical documents for public use and organized design teams for operational efficiency. In addition, his project management experience leading multidiscipline consultant teams has demonstrated the needed ability to execute on schedule and within budget to the defined scope.
He can also provide program management support with board reports, cost estimating, scheduling and document control services. Steven has recent experience working on various transportation projects.
Project Experience:
Soto Street Widening, Los Angeles, California
Steven served as lead engineer for the Soto Street Widening from Multnomah Street to Mission Road project. The objective is to widen Soto Street from two lanes to four lanes to relieve traffic congestion, improve safety by implementing a retaining wall to help keep hillside debris off the roadway, and to beautify the corridor. The project will include new sidewalk and street trees on both sides of Soto Street, and a Class 4 protected bikeway which will greatly improve vehicular and bicycle mobility and safety. The project requires coordination with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), Council District 14 for community outreach, and with the recently completed Soto Mission Bridge removal project and pending Soto Valley bridge widening and street improvement project. The retaining wall to be built on the east side of Soto Street is approximately 2,150 feet in length with a varying height ranging from 8 to 40 feet. The retaining wall system proposed will consist of cantilevered soldier pile design and tie back support anchors. The project also includes the implementation of landscape improvements, site furniture, hardscape and wall aesthetics.
Main Street and Sultana Street / Timberlane Avenue Traffic Signal Improvements, Hesperia, California
Steven is serving as the project manager for the development of a four-way traffic signal at the intersection of Sultana Street /Timberlane Avenue and Main Street in the City of Hesperia. Due to multiple accidents in the area and high speeds on Main Street, the City requested a traffic signal be installed.
In addition to the four-way signals, the project includes hydrology design for existing drainage easements, ADA curb ramps, partial street replacement, and utility relocation with Southern California Edison. The project requires preliminary engineering, geotechnical reports, CEQA/NEPA approval, multiple environmental studies, survey, and final design. Once the project is ready for bid, DEA will provide SWPPP review, in addition to construction and bid support.
