FIRM QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE: (continued)

PROJECT CONTROLS
A tenet of HCI is our belief that when acting on behalf of the City of Gardena, we serve as staff associates, or as an extension of City staff, in the well-being of the City. As such, we try our very best to always streamline the design and plan review process, as well as any required traffic signal management/support tasks, and also believe we have a commensurate responsibility to the public for high quality performance of our services, and quality assurance when reviewing others’ plans.

All of our staff that will serve the City of Gardena have a thorough knowledge and proficiency in local agency municipal codes, current State (Caltrans) Standard Plans and Specifications, Highway Design Manual, Highway Capacity Manual, California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), policies and procedures for ADA regulations, traffic signal timing, traffic engineering modeling and methodologies, County/City traffic standards and methodologies, and the State of California Vehicle Code.

Upon request by the Project Administrator, our team will provide the City with all materials and labor to perform the requested on-call traffic engineering and traffic signal operations support services and conform to industry standards.

As part of our on-call traffic engineering and signal management/support services, HCI staff will remain available to provide assistance to the City Project Administrator and/or contractors during the construction phases, as applicable, either in person, or via email or phone.

As we specialize in traffic design as well, HCI prides itself on timely design phase submittals, complete internal plan-checks of our own designs or other consultants’ designs, and consistently providing a quick turn-around for addressing comments. We typically provide 75%, 90% and final submittals on our designs within 4 to 8 weeks, and rarely have significant comments on our own design plans. Upon review and final approval by the City of the preliminary engineering plans submitted, a final set of the plans, specifications, and construction estimate (PS&E) are typically submitted within a week, including a construction item list with quantity extensions and definitions suitable for bidding. Our typical turn-around for plan-check services is within one to two weeks from receipt.

Similarly, HCI can control costs by providing accurate and timely invoices through internal control measures. HCI prides itself on consistently working with the City to quickly address requests and staying in budget. HCI’s ability to take a request from the City for a traffic design all the way through completion of construction, including signal timing and operations tasks, ensures greater accuracy, efficiency, and timely results.

FIRM QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE: (continued)

QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA/QC)
HCI employs the following QA/QC program that outlines the definition of roles, responsibilities, expectations, review requirements, and quality standards of our services, documents, and procedures in order to ensure a high standard of work:
a) Service Request or Plan Review:

Our service tasks and submitted documents go through three levels of review prior to response: Initial Peer Review, Project Manager Review, and QA/QC Review. This three-tiered review allows for error mitigation on three separated levels of detail: ground level (signal management check, drafting, calculations, and document formatting), project management level (signal management decision, design and project intent compliance) and quality assurance level (signal management confirmation, completeness of document and ensure “biddable” or “implementable” plans). Our service tasks and plan checks look at the 5C’s: consistent, correct, clear, constructible, and complete. b) Communication:

HCI staff will stay in constant communication with the City Project Administrator to ensure we understand the service request and have necessary milestones in place and that we meet those milestones. As previous clients can attest to, our team will allocate as many key staff/support staff to the project to ensure the schedule is maintained and that the City is satisfied with the delivery of the project. We make it a point to accommodate our client's needs, and we consistently strive for satisfaction with our ability to deliver. By making ourselves consistently available to the City, we avoid delays and any defects to the final PS&E or traffic signal services that could occur as a result of miscommunication or misunderstanding.
c) Scheduling:

For the remote possibility there is a delay, our project manager will develop strategies to bring the project back on track using necessary means at no additional cost to the City.

Above all else, clear communication will be the critical item in bringing any schedule slippage back on track. Our staff will actively communicate with the contract officer and affected parties to reschedule or reallocate resources in an effort to expedite all necessary items. Tasks can be reorganized to allow for staggering of work items.

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. The City is currently constructing a new pool and senior center community center.

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.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT &

PROJECT CONTROLS
IDS’ project manager will implement project controls
including timely and regular client communications,
established monitoring to control costs and schedule.

Activities under the umbrella of project controls
include:

Project Planning: IDS’ Project Manager will create
project plans, schedules, WBS, and budget to establish
a baseline to work with throughout the project. This
includes a kick-off meeting to deeply understand all of our client’s needs.

Budgeting: IDS’ team will provide schedule-phased
budgets, a transparent model that will be available to
serve as a benchmark throughout the project and as
an important cash flow tool for accurate invoicing and
project accounting.

Risk Management: Our team will preemptively identify risks, monitor risk continuously, and develop a contingency plan to address and mitigate issues to help reduce impacts to budget and schedule.

Forecasting: IDS’ team will perform regular updates to the schedule to ensure faster responses and corrective actions if a project schedule moves off-track.

Project Administration: This process involves established processes and systems that can help team members communicate and collaborate. The goal is to track status, action items, capture meeting minutes and lessons learned, and manage workflows seamlessly so teams can focus on efficient execution of project tasks.

Constructability Reviews
To improve project efficiency and constructability, IDS’ team leverages Bluebeam Revu®, a PDF-based solution designed for the construction industry, for each phase of the preconstruction process. Revu enables IDS to electronically share project feedback by redlining PDFs with industry-standard markups and takeoffs. In addition, IDS utilizes an online session collaboration feature, which allows multiple discipline-lead reviewers to comment on the same PDF together in real-time, or individually. As a result of this concurrent review, where team members can see comments made by other members, a more comprehensive, easy to understand, and quality list of comments are generated resulting in improved deliverables.

Work Schedule Management
The key to successfully implementing a project schedule is to: first, develop a realistic schedule with sufficient detail to define the critical‐path tasks required; second, implement a timely decision‐making process that continually moves the project forward in a proactive manner; and finally, to tenaciously adhere to that schedule with a continual sense of urgency. Equally important is to allow sufficient time for the Client’s involvement and evaluation of all design issues. The team prides itself on both our ability to build realistic, achievable schedules and to guide the design team, including the owner, through the decision‐making process that meets those critical timelines.

Bringing a Project Back on Schedule
We keep projects on track through constant team communication and anticipating possible delays in the schedule.

Before initiating a major project, the IDS Team will hold a special meeting to discuss work tasking and schedule constraints for each element of the project. Minutes from these meetings will be circulated to all Project Team members for their review and concurrence. Schedules will be distributed to all parties via email. Most importantly, the schedule is more than simply a reporting tool. It is an “early warning device” to anticipate possible delays and proactively manage activities. Our “percent complete” schedule will realistically measure work order progress. With such advance notice, each team leader can respond quickly to avoid task slowdowns and maintain the schedule. IDS typically holds Project Team meetings, which are scheduled bi‐monthly or weekly (as deemed necessary) to keep a project on “target” and “on track.”

Construction Observation | Administration
Scheduling is a critical component of the design and construction process. A project schedule for each assignment will be developed using the critical‐path‐method in Microsoft Project and / or Excel. The project schedule will be developed at the start of the project and will include all the phases and milestones that are identified by the City and / or mandated by project requirements. The design schedule will include meetings with the City project manager and its consultants at various milestones and provide status / progress reports. We will update the schedule and work plan regularly based on the actual hours worked that are tracked by our internal accounting system. In this way, we can adjust resources to ensure that the project milestones are completed on schedule. We also have an excellent record working on fast‐track projects. In these projects, it is essential for the design team to meet the critical path milestones that precede project completion.

Cost Estimates/ Cost Control
Our standard software, PlanSwift, provides the flexibility to quickly break out the itemized takeoff. This efficiency reduces the number of resources required to complete the takeoff for each project, and the program’s area and zone functions allow the estimator to sort the takeoff into multiple breakouts with minimal effort.

As design progresses, the more detailed documents can be virtually overlaid over previous ones, and changes/additions are immediately visible on screen. This ensures that our estimates at logical milestones during design (SD, DD, CD, etc.), can execute the later levels of design faster and more accurately.

When tasked with value engineering on the same project, our team members will go back and modify the original takeoffs to determine the less expensive methods or materials to construct the project. The benefit with PlanSwift is it allows the estimator to select the existing items and easily assign them to new or other existing conditions with the click of a button.

Value Engineering, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and Bid Alternate Designation IDS performs in-house cost estimates to identify opportunities for alternate bids that will provide flexibility for our clients as they balance the project scope for construction and the cost of construction.

The first path to value engineering savings is constructability. Our construction cost estimator provides an internal constructability review, which will allow the design team to eliminate scope that will later prove to be impractical to build and therefore costly.

The second path to value engineering is the search for alternates that provide nearly equal performance at less initial cost. When considering these initial cost savings, IDS provides a life cycle cost analysis of the alternatives so that our clients can make informed choices.

City of Irvine Police Department Workspace
Relocation and Tenant Improvements
Brief Description
IDS provided architectural design services for tenant improvement for the proposed expansion and relocation of various departments in the City of Irvine Civic Center. The project primarily focused on the expansion of the existing police department (Public Safety) because of recent population growth within the city in the last few years.

The current multi-story Civic Center houses many departments within the facility, including Public Safety, Traffic Management and Public Works. To accommodate the expansion, several departments must be relocated at a different location, with the vacated space to be allocated to Public Safety for use in its expansion. It specifically included the reorganization of interrelated offices in the police department, the expansion of its locker/shower rooms, the redesign of the Traffic Management and the relocation of Public Works and other departments to a separate building in a new location.

To arrive at an optimal solution, the IDS Group performed user group interviews, site visits and observations, and provided several plan studies that highlighted uses within the existing spaces that can be better utilized with proper space planning.

The City of Corona values the community connection to honor citizens who served in the armed forces.

Since 2012, the City Hall Veterans Monument has symbolized the service and fortitude of the five Armed Services branches. The memorial features two kiosks with stories of military personnel. The IDS project team took a thoughtful approach with the city’s ideas to develop a concept design that helps inspire and reflects the dedication of those who have served our great nation. IDS completed a concept design for the City of Corona Veterans Memorial by evaluating the following options:

Veterans Cove
The Veterans Cove Area at the entrance of City Hall represents an opportunity to expand the experience of the Monument. An additional granite sign and two granite walls will list the names of fallen soldiers with brick pavers in the gathering areas. The new improvements will be designed for daytime and evening visits and include new lighting technology for projecting names and lighting to highlight the new elements.

Veterans Memorial Plaza
The Veterans Memorial Plaza option provides an opportunity to extend the memorial gathering space into the South Lawn, which will make a memorable impact and experience on the environment. The project can include two new granite signs with lighting located along the pathway. In addition, six newly lit flag poles will be located in this South Lawn area as visual focal points visible from a distance and will help people announce this newly enhanced space. • Architecture

Orange County, Yale Navigation Center, Adaptive
Reuse & Conversion
Brief Description
The Yale Navigation Center project included completely gutting an aging and abandoned tilt up industrial building and the addition of 20,000 sq. ft. expanding the already 44,000 sq. ft. building.

The 64,000 sq foot building will be utilized for the rehabilitation and transitional programs for up to 425 homeless in Orange County with the goal of preparing them to return to normal life. The facility includes a full commercial kitchen, health care training facilities, and over 40 office spaces for the program administration staff. The expansion/ renovation cost was approximately $25 M.

The challenges of the accelerated schedule and the drive to achieve a good neighbor design that would be acceptable to the community were addressed through continuous interaction between all IDS Group disciplines, the contractor (who was brought in during the design phase) as well as the user group which included the County officials and facility operators. Constant communication was a must to address all the design challenges as well as several public outreach workshops with the community and full cooperation from the (a) funding sources (b) facility future operator (c) contractor, and (d) jurisdictions including the County building officials, and City of Santa Ana. These meetings in conjunction with the implementation of the lessons learned from the operation of other shelters in Southern California were very effective causing positive acclamations and feedback from the user groups and the community at large.

GRANT OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT As part of our transportation planning and engineering practice, we have provided grant support service for our clients for over 20 years.  In the past three years we have prepared 20 grant applications for federal BUILD/RAISE, Caltrans HSIP, CALSTA TCEP and TIRCP, FRA CRISI, USDOT MPDG, IDEA4US and SMART, FTA Low or No Emission Bus Program (5339(c) and Bus and Bus Facilities Program and Pilot TOD Program.

Our services include completing all components for some grant applications such as graphics, narrative, analysis, BCA, and BCA memo, whereas on some grant applications, we have provided narrative or BCA components.  Iteris’ grant management support services can also include funding agreement development, preparation of dashboards for grant reporting requirements, and before and after studies of funded improvements. Iteris works with clients to identify grants through eligibility requirements and notices of funding opportunities. Iteris creates an outline of information that needs to be provided to clients while we work on the information and graphics, which is generated independently. Iteris then puts together an initial draft narrative within a few weeks (based on project deadline and need) and then have weekly meetings reviewing edits to the narrative and the status of other application components: letters of support, graphics, additional analysis, and financial information for requested and matching funds. We expect that it is important for City of Gardena to retain all files used to create graphics and tables to easily update those for future funding applications as needed, therefore we will ensure all native files are delivered to the City of Gardena project manager after the final application is submitted.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)
Iteris’ ability to implement high-quality deliverables is a result of the firm’s adherence to an official quality assurance program that ensures accuracy, product usability, and an overall commitment to product excellence and client satisfaction. Our Project Manager will ensure the team’s commitment to these objectives by identifying goals at the outset of the project and monitoring the product implementation and delivery process.

The QC/QA process is a major factor in reducing project issues and technical errors and will assist with identifying conflicts or inconsistencies within project documentation. The QC/QA process will also require that each project be set up with a dedicated task for QC/QA tracking and that an individual be charged with Quality Control for each task in the work plan. In addition to the project budget, ample time must be provided in the project schedule to complete reviews, as well as provide sufficient time for comments to be addressed and incorporated into the final delivery to the City. The production of top-quality products for the City is Iteris’ number one project goal, and the QC process is followed by all associates working on each project undertaken by Iteris. As a firm and as individuals, Iteris strives for excellence.

All documents produced by Iteris associates and team members, prior to transmittal to the City, are reviewed by a member of our technical staff with expertise in the relevant area other than the author to ensure that they are comprehensive and well written. It is difficult for the author of a product to always catch some obvious mistakes or to realize when something may not be very clear to the reader. A second opinion is also invaluable in identifying alternative approaches to the analysis.

It is Iteris’ policy that all documents must be reviewed by senior staff before distribution, and that this person should be identified early in the process. During the internal project kick-off meeting, once the deliverables are identified, the PM for each task shall identify specific senior staff who are able and qualified to perform the reviews. At each level of document review, the author shall review their own work relative to the underlying analysis, calculations, and graphics of the report.

FAMILIARITY OF REGIONAL GRANTS/COMPETITIVE FUNDS
(SBCCOG & LA METRO)
Iteris staff are prepared to assist the City in the advanced preparation for, pursuit of, and management of a variety of County, State, and Federal grants. With extensive experience supplementing City transportation engineering staff throughout Southern California, Iteris staff are well versed in the level of effort required to successfully pursue, win, and execute grant-funded projects. Iteris staff typically apply the understanding gained via on-site staffing to help Cities identify unfunded needs in relation to transportation safety. Iteris staff then apply that understanding to develop detailed performance assessments which can be used as the foundation for successful grant applications.

We work with our clients to identify grants through eligibility requirements and notices of funding opportunities.

We create an outline of information needs to provide to our clients while we work on the information and graphics, which we can generate independently. We put together an initial draft narrative within two weeks and have weekly meetings reviewing edits to the narrative and the status of other application components: letters of support, graphics, additional analysis, and financial information for requested and matching funds.

We often utilize previously completed analysis and graphics since reference to previous planning efforts demonstrates continuity and commitment to a project. However, for nearly every application we create new graphics whether they be infographics or maps that are specific to the eligibility or evaluation criteria of the funding program.

Grant applications are generally completed on short deadlines, therefore management of submittal timeline is based on working backwards from a “pens down” date of the Friday before an application deadline to reduce the risk of logistical issues on the day of submission.

Iteris staff assisted the SBCCOG in setting up the Measure R Highway Program in the period before management was transitioned to SBCCOG staff. As part of our management contract, we set up the project lists, funding agreements with Metro, project mapping, and interfaced with each member agency to keep project development on track.

Since 2022, Iteris staff authored the successful West Santa Ana Branch Transit Oriented Communities and Downtown Los Angeles Transit Oriented Communities awarded grants (Federal Transit Administration), the Zero Emission Busses and Charging Infrastructure Deployment and System Integration under the CalSTA Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program, and the La Brea Avenue Complete Streets Project under the Safe Streets for All Program, and the Port of Long Beach North Harbor Transportation System Improvements MARAD Port Infrastructure Development Grant totaling $241 million in awards.
