Local Street Improvement Project - JN 553 & JN 571
DMS Consultants, Inc. proposes to use high resolution orthophotos to prepare plans. These photos are in CAD format and will be prepared and flown for this specific project.
Mr. Espinoza has indicated that City’s emphasis on the project is rehabilitation of existing pavement i.e., slurry seal and grind and overlay. Concrete improvements will be limited and confined only to grind and overlay streets, if feasible within allocated budget.
In our experience on past similar projects for the City of Gardena, the criteria for concrete improvements has been as follows:
■ Curb and Gutter:
Major cracks and ponding
■ Sidewalk:
Trip hazard and broken sidewalk
(sidewalk reconstruction behind driveways will be 6” thick) ■ Cross Gutter:
Extensive cracks and ponding
■ Curb Ramps:
Non-conforming to ADA standards of accessibility

AC Grind and Overlay - Zone 5
The streets in Zone 5 vary in width from 16 to 44 feet with parking permitted on both sides of the street with parkway and concrete curb on both sides. 166th Street from Normandie Avenue to Berendo Avenue in the project area is a collector street and has a raised median divider in the center with railroad tracks in the center median. (Figure 1) Our research of existing maps at Los Angeles County Surveyor’s Office indicates the railroad right -of-way to be 40 feet wide. Proposed improvements in/or adjacent to U.P.R.R. right-of-way will require processing a permit through U.P.R.R.
For streets in this zone the concrete curb and gutter is in relatively good condition with an exception of a few locations where we observed ponding and damaged curb and gutter. (Figure 2) There are a few locations within the project area with damaged sidewalk and trip hazards. We also noticed some driveways in the project area which may require reconstruction, in case the City decides otherwise, the walkway behind the driveways will be constructed to a thickness of 6-inches. (Figure 3)

The curb ramps at the following locations do not conform to ADA standards of accessibility. Some of these ramps can be brought to conformance by installing truncated domes.
The existing cross gutters in the project area appear to be relatively good and only a few will require reconstruction.
163rd Street from New Hampshire Avenue to Vermont Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue from 163rd Street to 164th Street are concrete streets 36 – 44 feet wide from curb to curb with parkway and sidewalk on both sides of the streets. (Figure 4) The proposed treatment for this roadway will consist of edge grind and AC overlay of variable thickness to allow for a minimum 2% cross slope. The existing alley approach at New Hampshire Avenue between 164th Street and 163rd Street will require reconstruction. (Figure 5)

Type II Slurry Seal Streets - Zone 5 and Zone 6
Mr. Espinoza has indicated that for this project it is the City’s intent to keep concrete improvements in the streets receiving slurry seal to a minimum, which consists of curb and gutter with major ponding.
For these streets we will identify if any, sections of pavement failures caused by tree roots, distressed pavement and identifying on the plans for reconstruction by home addresses.
Additionally, during field review in consultation with City staff, if it is determined that some sections of streets need to be rehabilitated with grind and overlay and not slurry seal, we will prepare plans accordingly.
Below is the typical section for streets designated for slurry seal. (Figure 11)

Concrete Repairs
163rd Street from New Hampshire Avenue to Vermont Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue from 163rd Street to 164th Street are concrete streets and show very long and wide cracks at various locations. The cracks on these streets will be crack sealed and self -adhering pavement membrane placed prior to AC overlay. (Figure 12) Below is the typical section for concrete repair streets. (Figure 13)

Design Survey
Since this is a grind and overlay project we will perform street cross sections as required, at least two cross sections per street for streets with AC grind and overlay to ensure that the streets have required minimum cross slope of 2% or the cross slope does not exceed 5%.
We will also perform field survey for non -conforming curb ramps as required, for detailed design. In our proposal we have assumed at total of 10 such locations.
During our field visit of Zone 5 and Zone 6, we have identified a total of 25 cross gutters. In our proposal we have assumed that 8 of them may exhibit ponding or cracks and will require reconstruction, and as such will require design survey.
Pre and Post Corner Records
We will research on the County of Los Angeles website and City tie notes to obtain the existing corner records for grind and overlay streets. For the purpose of this proposal we assumed a total of 20 intersections requiring pre and post construction records. We will prepare and file pre and post construction corner records for these locations.
Project Budget
The RFP indicates that the City of Gardena has budgeted $4.6 million for the proposed project improvements which includes design, CMI, construction, and contingency.
Based on past experience for projects similar in nature in the City of Gardena and other cities, we have prepared a preliminary cost estimate for the project. We have broken down the estimate for Zone 5 and Zone 6 separately.
As per our estimate, located on the following page, we feel comfortable that all streets indicated in the RFP including concrete improvements in grind and overlay streets can be completed within the allocated budget of 4.6 million dollars.

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 16.E
Section: DEPARTMENTAL
ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: September 10,
2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Approve On-Call Professional Services for General Civil Engineering Design, Construction Management and Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendations: Approve On-Call Professional Consultants for As-Needed Services
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
The City of Gardena is experiencing an unprecedented level of activity in its Capital Improvement Program, with a record-high CIP budget of $71.5M and 44 projects. Additionally, the City has been averaging over 1,000 plan check reviews and encroachment permits in the public right-of-way annually for the past three years. The current on-call Professional Services Agreements, approved by the City Council in 2019 with various firms, are set to expire in September 2024.
Various on-call professional services are essential to support the City’s efforts in completing budgeted CIP projects, which include parks, facility remodels, feasibility studies, traffic analysis, specialized soil testing and inspections, and roadway infrastructure, including underground pipes. Utilizing consultants provides the departments with the flexibility needed to address the diverse requirements of these projects with minimal internal staffing, while also leveraging the consultants' specialized expertise.
Typically, procuring a specific consultant agreement from issuing the initial Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtaining Council approval and executing the contract can take several months. This process includes not only developing the RFP but also fulfilling all contract agreement requirements, including insurance, which also requires considerable time. To streamline this process, many local agencies have adopted the use of on-call consultants, which is also acceptable method by the Caltrans.
On-call contracts for professional services are an effective means to secure engineering, architecture, and other professional expertise, ensuring that CIP projects and studies are completed in a timely and cost-effective manner. The City can engage consultants individually for each specific scope of work or utilize the list as prequalified consultants and obtain proposals. Attached for review are the active insurance details and an on-call Professional Services Agreement (PSA). This agreement, along with the consultant’s fee schedule, will be executed for each selected firm. However, as these agreements are for on-call, as-needed services, there is no guarantee of work for any firm.
On May 9, 2024, the Public Works Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ, See Attached), which was advertised on the City’s website and in IMS publication for public sector/government RFPs/RFQs. Fifty-seven Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) were received by June 13, 2024. The SOQs were reviewed and evaluated by the Director of Public Works and the Assistant Director of Public Works based on the following eight major criteria:
1 .
Presentation and Content (5%)
2 .
Project Manager’s Experience (5%)
3 .
Familiarity/Experience with the Local Region (5%)
4 .
Qualification of All Team Members (20%)
5 .
Team Resources and Availability (30%)
6 .
Relevant Project Experience (20%)
7 .
References (5%)
8 .
Fee Schedule (10%)
Each criterion was scored on a scale of 0-100 and ranked according to the highest average score. Unlike construction contracts, where the award goes to the lowest responsible bidder, professional service contracts are awarded to qualified firms based on their overall qualifications and reasonable fee structures.
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve the following top-rated firms to provide as-needed professional services in six categories for a duration of three years, with an option for staff to extend the contract for an additional two years if the consultants perform satisfactorily:
General Civil Engineering Design (10 out of total 18 firms selected) – Cannon
Corporation; Onward Engineering; TAIT & Associates, Inc.; PSOMAS; NV5, Inc.: DMS Consultants, Inc.; Kreuzer Consulting Group., David Evans and Associates, Inc.; AZTEC Engineering Group, Inc.; and John M. Cruikshank Consultants, Inc.
Construction Management and Inspection (5 out of total 10 firms selected ) – Anser
Advisory Management, LLC; PSOMAS; Onward Engineering; Cannon Corporation; and TRANSTECH Engineers, Inc.
Traffic Engineering (5 out of total 12 firms selected)
– Hartzog & Crabill, Inc.; JMDiaz,
Inc.; TJKM Transportation Consultants; David Evans and Associates, Inc.; Iteris, Inc.
Architecture and Landscape Architecture (5 out of total 9 firms selected) – Architerra
Design Group; BGB Design Group; IDS Group; BREEN Design Group; VERDE DESIGN, Inc.
Geotechnical Engineering, Geology and Material Testing (3 out of total 5 firms selected) – Terracon Consultant, Inc.; NV5, Inc.; Ninyo & Moore, Inc.
Staff Augmentation (3 out of total 3 firms selected)
– Project Partners, Inc., Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc., and Transtech Engineers, Inc.
2) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amounts up to $100,000 per each project in each category during the on-call contract term. Any services exceeding this amount will be agendized for Council review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:
The consultants will be used on an as-needed basis, and costs associated with CIP projects will be charged directly to those projects.

PROJECT: W ESTERN AVENUE STREET IMPROVEMENTS –
REDONDO BEACH BOULEVARD TO ROSECRANS AVENUE , JN 556
Dear Mr. De Castro and Proposal Review Committee:
Cannon Corporation (Cannon) greatly appreciates the opportunity to present our proposal to provide professional engineering design services for the Western Avenue Street Improvements Project (Project), JN 556, from Redondo Beach Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue (length = 0.90± miles). This effort will require a specialized team with knowledge, background and capabilities to complement the City’s staff and resources to achieve success in rehabilitating the asphalt pavement, striping and improving pedestrian accessibility/safety.
Project Team . The Cannon team will be led by Project Manager, Gary Solsona, PE, QSD , who will be the single point of contact for the City. With more than 24 years of civil engineering experience in providing management and design of similar street improvement projects with the City (including the 170 th Street Improvements JN 944, Vermont Street Improvements JN 959 & 996, and Artesia Blvd Street Improvements JN 935). Our prior work with the City of Gardena has provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the City’s expectations and has enabled us to establish strong, effective working relationships with City staff. Gary will be a dedicated resource in successfully completing this project in a timely manner and will be supported by Karena Diep, EIT, as Senior Project Engineer and Andy Rowe, PE, as QA/QC Manager. Topographic survey will be provided by our subconsultant KDM Meridian.
We acknowledge that the work will be completed under the terms and conditions of our on- call agreement with the City. We are prepared to begin work as soon as we receive a Notice to Proceed from your office. The fees quoted in this proposal are valid for 60 days from this date and are based upon current California Prevailing Wages.
Sincerely,
Gary Solsona, P.E., QSD
Director, Public Infrastructure Division

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
This important project reflects the City’s commitment to enhance the aged asphalt pavement along Western Avenue, improving both drivability and aesthetics, while prioritizing pedestrian accessibility and safety within the project limits. The Cannon team will develop a comprehensive final construction package that includes plans, specifications, and an engineer’s estimate (PS&E) for the City to effectively bid the Western Avenue Street Improvements Project, JN 556.
Our preliminary assessment of the asphalt pavement during our site visit indicates an overall condition is “good”, with light to moderate longitudinal block cracking (see Photo 1 on next page) within the vehicular wheel path, localized alligator cracking and aged pavement. This assessment aligns with the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of generally mid-70s to mid-80s within the project limits, as documented in the City’s August 2024 Pavement Management Program Report. Prior to the 50% submission, we will conduct a site walk with the City’s Project Manager and/or Inspector to evaluate the pavement condition and identify which trees to remove and replace.
During this site walk, we will assess the need for resurfacing (such as microsurfacing or slurry seal), rehabilitation (via cold mill and overlay) and localized AC pavement dig-outs, as well as the removal and replacement of damaged curb and gutter, sidewalks (see Photo 2 on next page ), cross gutters and driveways and upgrading existing non-ADA compliant curb ramps to ADA standards (see Photo 3 on next page ). This site review will run concurrently with Cannon’s assessment of existing conditions. Based on the findings from our site walk with City staff, we will prepare the 50% plans to confirm that the proposed improvements align with the City’s expectations.
Within the project limits of Western Avenue, there are several locations featuring existing concrete pavement, particularly just north of the intersection of Redondo Beach Boulevard and along the northbound and southbound curbside lane. Our design recommendations for pavement rehabilitation assume that the existing concrete pavement will not require paving/reconstruction; instead, any necessary paving will occur outside these limits, except where damage necessitates new loops.
Additional considerations for this project include:
• Traffic signal improvements (limited to loop replacement, battery backup systems, pedestrian push buttons, and street name signs only)
• Adjustment of all manholes and utility covers to final pavement grade • Coordination with City staff to locate planting of new trees within existing tree wells where there is no tree, or tree is dead
• Restriping and replacement of pavement markings within the project limits, including damaged or poor condition markings.

SCOPE OF WORK
Phase A. Preliminary Engineering
Task 1. Kickoff Meeng/Progress Meengs (4 total meengs) We will orchestrate and aHend a Project Kickoff MeeJng with appropriate personnel from the City. This meeJng agenda will focus on project understanding, team involvement, project constraints, and the anJcipaJon of design development impediments. This meeJng will also include a project introducJon, review of background informaJon and project scope, and define the project schedule. This meeJng represents a key opportunity for representaJves from the City to steer the consultant team and further clarify criJcal elements of the project scope.
In addiJon to the kick-off meeJng, we will conduct progress meeJngs at 50%, 90% and 100% milestone submiHals with City staff by video conference to discuss and review project work status submiHals, overall design progress and upcoming schedule milestones.
We will prepare and transmit meeJng agendas to City staff a minimum of 24 hours prior to the scheduled meeJng dates. MeeJng minutes will be prepared and distributed to aHendees within 1 week of the kickoff/progress meeJngs.
Task 2. Data Collecon
We will research and obtain available data (to facilitate the final engineering design), including uJlity company contact names from City’s uJlity research, City & County record documents, and as-builts/record drawings. All data will be compiled, reviewed, and made available to the project team throughout the design effort.
Task 3. Ulity and Stakeholder Coordinaon
We will submit iniJal uJlity noJficaJons (using City-provided leHerhead) to uJlity companies requesJng copies of their maps, plans, and/or sketches of their exisJng and/or proposed faciliJes. We will use uJlity companies from a DIGALERT and/or a City-provided list. We will submit 2nd uJlity noJces (with 90% plans) within 1 week aMer issuance of the 90% PS&E submiHal to City staff, for verificaJon of faciliJes. We will submit final uJlity noJces along with approved plans, a tentaJve pre-construcJon meeJng date and a tentaJve schedule date for construcJon. We will maintain a uJlity log to track who and when noJficaJons were sent to and document the responses to the noJces. In addiJon to wriHen noJces, we will follow up on uJlity noJces by telephone, email or in person to confirm receipt and acJon.
Gardena Transit Coordinaon: Since there are several bus stops located within the project limits, we will contact Gardena Transit (GTrans) to give early notification of the project and obtain early feedback on the anticipated processes and procedures regarding bus stop locations.

Task 4. Topographic Survey
Topographic survey will be performed primarily through manned aerial photogrammetric methods, supplemented with targeted ground surveys for nine curb ramp locaJons where we recommend preparing detailed curb ramp design due to Jght site constraints and/or obstrucJons (such as power poles) where reliance on referencing only a standard plan would be insufficient for proper construcJon:
1) 154
th Pl - SE curb return
2) 153rd St - NW curb return
3) 152nd St - SW curb return

Aerial TargeJng and Mapping: We will set sufficient aerial targets for aerial photogrammetry and perform aerial mapping of an approximate 125-foot wide corridor along Western Avenue for length of project limits. Imagery processed to produce a color orthophoto and a digital terrain model (DTM) with 1-foot contours. We will prepare “working” design cross secJons at 25-foot intervals based on the DTM
Ground Survey: Scope includes establishment of survey control including centerline monuments, benchmarks, and aerial targets and targeted Topographic survey of nine curb returns per the abovemenJoned list
Task 4.1 Monument Perpetuaon
• Identify centerline monuments that may be impacted by construction. Per the RFP, our scope of work and fee is based on preparing sixteen (16) total corner records for the sixteen (16) intersections included in the project
• Tie-out impacted survey monuments based on approved construction plans. • Draft Pre-Construction Corner Records and submit to County Surveyor for approval.
Task 5. Base Mapping & Field Review
Upon iniJaJon of base map preparaJon, Cannon will perform a comprehensive field review within the project limits to note exisJng condiJons that may affect the design (e.g. repair to damaged sidewalk, curb, guHer and driveways), note access concerns / traffic control concerns, note potenJal uJlity issues and other construcJon challenges and collect a photo- document log of the project site. From the data collected during our field review, the project’s exisJng CAD base mapping will be updated.

UJlizing field review, topo survey and as-built informaJon, we will prepare the base maps (1”=40’ scale) in AutoCAD, which will include dimensions, street names, north arrow, scale, match lines, street centerline, exisJng R/W, staJoning, approximate locaJon of surface topographic features, and approximate locaJon of surface and underground uJliJes.
Phase B. Design
Task 6. 50% PS&E
We will develop 50% level design recommendaJons for the proposed street improvements, which will generally consist of pavement resurfacing (e.g. slurry seal) and/or rehabilitaJon (e.g. cold mill and overlay), adjustment of surface uJliJes to new finished grade, removal and replacement of damaged curbs, guHers, sidewalks, cross guHers, removal and replacement of trees idenJfied by the City, ramps, and related improvements, as necessary, traffic signal improvements limited to baHery backup systems, pedestrian push buHons and street name signs only, and upgrading exisJng non-ADA compliant curb ramps to current ADA compliance.
For proposed curb ramps, the 50% plans will reflect a construcJon note callout only. Design details of curb ramps, at the nine curb return locaJons specified in Task 4, will be included in the 90% plans.
For the proposed pavement rehabilitaJon, our design recommendaJons assume that the exisJng concrete pavement will remain intact, and that proposed paving will only occur outside these limits, unless damage necessitates the installaJon of new loops.
Once the preliminary design and recommended approac hes are approved by City staff, the final engineering will advance and refine the preliminary design concepts, to completion of the final construction documents.
Plans: Based on review of the project limits and scope of work, the following is the anJcipated 36” x 24” plan sheet count:
One (1) Title Sheet

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 sta
ff, t
he 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. •

170th Street Improvements
Cannon successfully completed the 170th Street Improvement Project in Gardena, spanning 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. This project included a geotechnical subconsultant that Cannon managed.

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.

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
flo
oding 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 runo
ff, a
nd 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 runo
ff, a
nd 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.

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/o ff
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.

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. D
esign 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. In
dependent 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. R
eview 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 di ffe
rent 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.

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 sta
ff, t
he Cannon Team (including subconsultant BGB

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.

PROCORE
To efficiently maintain project documents, drawings,
contract change orders, contractor submittals, shop
drawings, and correspondence, we use electronic and
hard copy record keeping formats. For the electronic
format, we propose use of PROCORE. PROCORE helps
drastically increase project efficiency and accountability by streamlining and mobilizing project communications
and documentation. We currently have a
subscription and use PROCORE on a majority
of our CM projects. This
leads to more teamwork,
less rework, and a
smoother project.

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.
