of our Project Managers, Justina Conklin, and Mark Christensen. We have also assigned a seasoned professional, Mark Imbriani, to assist Justina and Mark in implementing the Quality Management Program for this contract. TRC’s Quality Management Program involves reviewing scope, methodology, reports, and all other deliverables, as well as monitoring client and subconsultant relationships. Justina and Mark will first establish clear communication protocols for the team.

The QA / QC Plan designates specific quality assurance roles for each team member, as well as interdisciplinary checks. In order to assure that the project delivery is performed in a timely manner, the Project Manager will update the project schedule frequently, noting critical submittals at the 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% design phases. In the schedule, adequate time will be given for the agencies to conduct appropriate reviews, so that these critical milestones can be accurately placed in the schedule and followed by the team. A QC review task will also be assigned and will allow the Project Manager to administer an interdisciplinary review. This gives the entire team time to review
each other’s plans and look for
conflicts or errors between
disciplines and correct these
errors before submitting to the
client. For example, the landscape
designer will review the traffic
handling, utility, and electrical
plans. At the same time, the
electrical designer will review the
other disciplines. The Project
Manager will be in charge of
making sure that all of their comments get addressed. These peer reviews with principal, project managers and lead designers will be conducted to ensure that quality control is maintained throughout the duration of each task.

Among other things, for example, the Project Manager will:
▪ Provide ongoing quality assurance for prime and / or subconsultants’ deliverables or submittals. ▪ Designate a construction specialist to perform a constructability review. ▪ Provide deliverables on or prior to the due dates.
▪ Provide final plans, specifications, and estimate review for coordination among all disciplines and all work products.

Good QA/QC starts with the scoping meeting held upon consultant selection. We will meet with you to discuss your goals, work-to-date, available work products, and desired outcomes. At this meeting we wish to obtain input from all stakeholders on the project, so their needs are identified and thus can be met. After that, a detailed scope of work will be developed so that all parties are clear as to exactly what work will be performed by the City, the TRC team, and others (such as review agencies).

During prosecution of the work, we will provide opportunity for City progress reviews at your office. This will provide early evaluation of our progress and our technical approach to analysis and design. This will also generate an ongoing dialogue and assist us in providing milestone products which meet your needs.

The result of our plan has been biddable and buildable
construction documents, low bids, many bidders, and very few change orders during construction. Please contact our
references in this regard. The primary benefit provided through our QA / QC program is the confidence in our construction contract documents, which provides for the lowest project cost while still providing value to the client. A summary of engineer’s estimates and bids received for some of our past projects appears in the chart. Note the excellent correlation between our estimates and the low bid. This should give the City confidence in your budgeting process, in that the budget should not significantly change from project conception to project completion.

SUMMARY
Much of this has been discussed above, but, due to its
importance, it too bears repeating. Quality is one of TRC’s core values. As such, TRC employs a quality management program that incorporates responsibility for quality throughout the organization, and benefits from process improvements realized on similar projects.

Communication As noted above, our goal is for “no surprises” and a partnership that has a common understanding and expectations every step of the way. Proven communication tools will keep our team focused on the City’s goals. Our communication procedures will include:
✓ Project Communication and Management Manual
✓ Protocol for electronic communication, including establishment of password protected FTP site. ✓ Team weekly meetings, impromptu meetings as needed.
✓ Timely meetings and reporting to the City.

Quality Standards TRC’s Quality Management Program incorporates:
✓ A Commitment of all team members to follow proper standards used throughout the project. ✓ Quality Assurance and Control Procedures: Procedures include management oversight, clear definition of roles and responsibilities, and administrative functions associated with tracking and reporting. ✓ Document Control: Establish an electronic document management system and assign one person to be responsible for maintaining these documents.

Confirming Quality While it is important to build quality into the work, formal checking and review are critical quality activities. Quality checking activities, which are all documented with checklists and three-level approvals, include:
✓ Peer Review/Coordination Checking: Coordination and independent checking activities are performed by a separate peer reviewer (or group) consisting of checkers. ✓ Discipline Review: Technical checking and review activities are performed by each responsible technical or design discipline under the direction of our various discipline leaders. ✓ Independent Deliverable Review: All TRC work products are independently checked until the originators and checkers both agree to the validity and accuracy of the work product. Mark Imbriani, PE, is our Our QA/QC results in:

Less Rework, Fewer Change Orders
Improved Constructability, Resulting in
Lower Cost to the Client

designated QA / QC Lead. He will review all work and verify that all technical checks have been completed.

Subconsultant Quality TRC requires that each subconsultant either adheres to our Quality Management Program or that they have their own. From our past experience working with our subconsultants assigned to on- calls, we are well aware of the high-quality work they perform.

Timeliness As our Quality Management Program is built into how we do business, our deliverables will not be delayed because “they still need to be checked.” We convene internal over-the-shoulder review of deliverables at least one week before they are due. This allows the Project Manager, the Principal-in-Charge, and the discipline managers to verify their completeness and adjust staff assignment if needed to meet the deliverable schedule.

TRC’s values include accountability,
creativity, integrity, passion,
consistent quality, a safety-first
culture, teamwork, and a
commitment to our communities.

Many of our projects have won
awards for our clients from ASCE,
APWA, TCAG, and CTF, among
others. TRC believes that project
success is measured not only by
meeting the schedule and
budget, but also by providing a
project that meets the needs of our
clients and the public.

SCOPE OF WORK

ON-CALL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES

| 32 |
E. SCOPE OF WORK
E.1. DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK STATEMENT
TRC will provide project management, civil / roadway, and structures design services, including PS&E, funding assistance, feasibility studies, utility / railroad coordination, drainage and storm water services, outreach support, bidding assistance and construction support, peer / constructability review and Caltrans funding application assistance. Our subconsultants will provide environmental, surveying, street lighting and electrical, and landscape architecture. We believe the team’s intimate knowledge of the Northern California area; experience on similar local agency and Caltrans projects; knowledge of Caltrans, local agency and FHWA procedures; and professional relationships with Caltrans personnel involved in the project approval and funding processes will provide a great benefit to the City. These strengths are especially important, as proactive coordination and effective communication will be the main determinants of success.

TRC's work plan will be the same plan we have utilized on our many other successful projects and is based on the understanding we have of typical City projects, gained through experience working on other projects, our staff members’ experience with similar local agency projects, and our experience with Federal, State, and locally funded projects. Each project has provided opportunities to improve our master Scope of Services, to better satisfy the goals and needs of our clients. Essential elements of the TRC Work Plan include Quality Assurance / Quality Control, Constructability Reviews, the Plan Sheet List, Deliverables List, Biddability Reviews, and Value Analysis. These activities will provide cost-effective design and quality in the construction documents and finished work.

Importantly, our work on many previous local agency Caltrans-oversight projects has allowed us to develop a quite detailed Scope of Services for the basic and supplemental tasks that will or may be required to satisfy the needs of the City, Caltrans, and other affected agencies. To keep this proposal brief, we have included only an outline scope of work herein.

We have found that our clients receive the greatest benefit if we jointly prepare a clear and detailed scope of work, by holding a scoping meeting with our client after consultant selection, but before the contract execution.

The scoping meeting involves a detailed discussion of each task, including controversial issues or positions, to resolve differences to produce a clear plan of action for the TRC team (and other stakeholders) to pursue. TRC will prepare edits to the scope after this meeting and send it to the City for review and final reconciliation. In this way, a solid understanding of the project is developed, and a complete thorough scope of work prepared. The result is highly likely to be a successful project! (Note TRC does all this work at no charge to our clients, demonstrating the faith we have in this process and the benefits we know the client and TRC will realize.) Project Elements (Generic)
The following work plan elements will be included in the agreement:

1. Scope of Work - Indicates the detailed tasks to be performed for each phase of the project, and the logical and required order in which they need to be performed.

2. Plan Sheet List – A list of anticipated plan sheets to be developed.

3. Deliverables List – lists project deliverables, the task in which each will be prepared, and the scheduled delivery date of each.

4. Project Schedule - a detailed project schedule in Microsoft Project.

The Plan Sheet List, Deliverables List, and Schedule will be finalized with the Scope for each project. They may vary also on the selected alternative and project approach (detour, construction staging, etc.).

E.3. COST CONTROL AND BUDGETING METHODOLOGY
Cost Control and Budgeting Approach
For cost tracking and budget control, we use Vision accounting software by Deltek. Additionally, Project Managers have access to all project financial data within Vision and our other financial platforms at their fingertips through a Project Manager Dashboard using Microsoft Power BI (Business Intelligence). This software tracks all costs related to a project from time sheets to invoices. This complete integrated system ensures that your project accounting, tracking, billing, and scheduling are accurate and timely.

TRC successfully manages budgets on our projects, as our references in our project descriptions in Sections C and D.3 can attest.

Schedule Management
TRC utilizes Microsoft Project software to produce project schedules and status reports for each of our projects.

This includes subconsultants' tasks and City reviews. These schedules will be updated at set intervals for reporting to the client and team. These schedules also identify the critical path to successful project completion, and thus allowing management to focus on these tasks. For construction projects, Primavera P6 or other City- preferred software may be used in lieu of MS Project.

TRC successfully manages schedules on our projects, as our references in our project descriptions in Section C can attest.

Project Administration
TRC's management plan is based on methods of administration that we have successfully used on similar projects. Administration includes development of an electronic filing system. Critical files will be scanned to our network which is backed up nightly. A SharePoint site can be set up to allow the City to review or obtain documents easily. This electronic system allows all team members to have access to documents they need but maintains the security and integrity of those documents.

Consultant Annual Certification of Indirect Costs and Financial Management System EXHIBIT 10-KCONSULTANT ANNUAL CERTIFICATION OF

INDIRECT COSTS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(Note: If a Safe Harbor Indirect Cost Rate is approved, this form is not required.) Consultant’s Full Legal Name:

Important: Consultant means the individual or consultant providing engineering and design related services as a party of a contract with a recipient or sub-recipient of Federal assistance. Therefore, the Indirect Cost Rate(s) shall not be combined with its parent company or subsidiaries.

Indirect Cost Rate:

Combined Rate % OR
Home Office Rate % and Field Office Rate (if applicable) % Facilities Capital Cost of Money % (if applicable)
Fiscal period *
* Fiscal period is annual one year applicable accounting period that the Indirect Cost Rate was developed (not the contract period). The Indirect Cost Rate is based on the consultant’s one-year applicable accounting period for which financial statements are regularly prepared by the consultant.

I have reviewed the proposal to establish an Indirect Cost Rate(s) for the fiscal period as specified above and have determined to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
• All costs included in the cost proposal to establish the indirect cost rate(s) are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Part 31 (48 CFR Part 31); • The cost proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR Part 31;
• The accounting treatment and billing of prevailing wage delta costs are consistent with our prevailing wage policy as either direct labor, indirect costs, or other direct costs on all federally- funded A&E Consultant Contracts.
• All known material transactions or events that have occurred subsequent to year-end affecting the consultant’s ownership, organization, and indirect cost rates have been disclosed as of the date of this certification.

I am providing the required and applicable documents as instructed on Exhibit 10-A.

Financial Management System:

Our labor charging, job costing, and accounting systems meet the standards for financial reporting, accounting records, and internal control adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, appropriately accounted for, are allocable to the contract, and comply with the federal requirements as set forth in Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 112(b)(2); 48 CFR Part 31.201-2(d); 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 172.11(a)(2); and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.

Our financial management system has the following attributes:
• Account numbers identifying allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable cost accounts; • Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable costs into separate cost

March 2018

Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-K
Consultant Annual Certification of Indirect Costs and Financial Management System accounts;
• Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct costs by project, contract and type of cost; • Internal controls to maintain integrity of financial management system; • Ability to account and record costs consistently and to ensure costs billed are in compliance with FAR; • Ability to ensure and demonstrate costs billed reconcile to general ledgers and job costing system; and • Ability to ensure costs are in compliance with contract terms and federal and state requirement Cost Reimbursements on Contracts:

I also understand that failure to comply with 48 CFR Part 16.301-3 or knowingly charge unallowable costs to Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) contracts may result in possible penalties and sanctions as provided by the following:
• Sanctions and Penalties - 23 CFR Part 172.11(c)(4)
• False Claims Act - Title 31 U.S.C. Sections 3729-3733 • Statements or entries generally - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 • Major Fraud Act - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1031
All A&E Contract Information:
• Total participation amount $___________________ on all State and FAHP contracts for Architectural & Engineering services that the consultant received in the last three fiscal periods. • The number of states in which the consultant does business is . • Years of consultant’s experience with 48 CFR Part 31 is . • Audit history of the consultant’s current and prior years (if applicable) ☐ Cognizant ICR Audit ☐ Local Gov’t ICR Audit □ Caltrans ICR Audit ☐ Federal Gov’t ICR Audit ☐ CPA ICR Audit
I, the undersigned, certify all of the above to the best of my knowledge and belief and that I have reviewed the Indirect Cost Rate Schedule to determine that any costs which are expressly unallowable under the Federal cost principles have been removed and comply with Title 23 U.S.C. Section 112(b)(2), 48 CFR Part 31, 23 CFR Part 172, and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations. I also certify that I understand that all documentation of compliance must be retained by the consultant. I hereby acknowledge that costs that are noncompliant with the federal and state requirements are not eligible for reimbursement and must be returned to Caltrans.

QUESTIONS/RESPONSES

Q.1 Will the City Consider extending the submission deadline by two weeks?

Response: The City will maintain the September 12th submission deadline. The current on -call contracts are approaching their expiration date, and due to upcoming holidays, many of the council meetings where contracts could be awarded will not occur. As a result, the City is on a very tight timeline and cannot extend the submission deadline.

Addendum No. 02 is being issued to provide answers to questions from the Proposer Conference. This addendum becomes part of the Contract Documents for the project mentioned above and must be signed and submitted with the Proposal.

QUESTIONS & RESPONSES:
1) Do consultants have to work on federal projects, or can they be selected to work only on local projects? a. This is not a scoring criterion. Consultants may be selected to work solely on local projects depending on their areas of expertise. For example, the City may hire a consultant specifically for local airport projects. The City does need consultants who can work on Federal projects as well. 2) Is the ASHTO process required, or is the Safe Harbor sufficient? a. This is up to the consultant and can be completed after the selection process. It does not need to be included as part of the proposal.
3) Should smaller companies team up with larger companies to provide more of the listed services? a. This is not the intent of the RFQ. Smaller companies with specialized services may submit an SOQ for their specific services. The City will select consultants based on their qualifications and the services they can provide, not on the number of services they may be able to offer. 4) Is the City interested in staff augmentation?
a. Yes, this is a service we would be interested in, particularly a PM or CM who could assist with federal projects. We are currently short-staffed, and these services would be valuable. 5) Is there a desired radius for consultants to be within? a. There is no local preference for this project. The City will not score or place emphasis on companies based on location.
6) What is the purpose of the single engineer/architect? a. This individual would serve as the main point of contact for the City. While other individuals may work on projects, this person would be the primary contact for services needed and project updates. 7) How do we submit the fees separately from the proposal on Bid-Net? a. Submit two envelopes: one for the proposal and one for the fee. Bid -Net should allow separate submissions.
8) Can we password protect the fee proposal?
a. Yes, if Bid-Net allows it.

Addendum No. 02

9) Do we foresee needing building envelope (design of moisture protection) consultants? a. There are no current projects lined up, but the City may have maintenance needs on future projects.

This can certainly be included in the RFQ. The City would like to know about unique services or areas of expertise that can be provided.
10) Surveying services – how do you anticipate handling prevailing wage throughout the project? a. If Prevailing wages change throughout the contract, t he City will pay at least the minimum prevailing wage.
i. If the consultant’s fee is less than the updated minimum wage, the fee rates may be adjusted to meet the minimum wage rates outside of the yearly fee increase (consultant fees may not be increased if they already exceed the updated wage rate). ii. A fee increase can be submitted each year for overall fees from the consultant.

INDIRECT COSTS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(Note: If a Safe Harbor Indirect Cost Rate is approved, this form is not required.) Consultant’s Full Legal Name:

Important: Consultant means the individual or consultant providing engineering and design related services as a party of a contract with a recipient or sub-recipient of Federal assistance. Therefore, the Indirect Cost Rate(s) shall not be combined with its parent company or subsidiaries.

Indirect Cost Rate:

Combined Rate % OR
Home Office Rate % and Field Office Rate (if applicable) % Facilities Capital Cost of Money % (if applicable)
Fiscal period *
* Fiscal period is annual one year applicable accounting period that the Indirect Cost Rate was developed (not the contract period). The Indirect Cost Rate is based on the consultant’s one-year applicable accounting period for which financial statements are regularly prepared by the consultant.

I have reviewed the proposal to establish an Indirect Cost Rate(s) for the fiscal period as specified above and have determined to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
• All costs included in the cost proposal to establish the indirect cost rate(s) are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Part 31 (48 CFR Part 31); • The cost proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR Part 31;
• The accounting treatment and billing of prevailing wage delta costs are consistent with our prevailing wage policy as either direct labor, indirect costs, or other direct costs on all federally- funded A&E Consultant Contracts.
• All known material transactions or events that have occurred subsequent to year-end affecting the consultant’s ownership, organization, and indirect cost rates have been disclosed as of the date of this certification.

I am providing the required and applicable documents as instructed on Exhibit 10-A.

Financial Management System:

Our labor charging, job costing, and accounting systems meet the standards for financial reporting, accounting records, and internal control adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, appropriately accounted for, are allocable to the contract, and comply with the federal requirements as set forth in Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 112(b)(2); 48 CFR Part 31.201-2(d); 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 172.11(a)(2); and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.

Our financial management system has the following attributes:
• Account numbers identifying allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable cost accounts; • Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable costs into separate cost

I also understand that failure to comply with 48 CFR Part 16.301-3 or knowingly charge unallowable costs to Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) contracts may result in possible penalties and sanctions as provided by the following:

I, the undersigned, certify all of the above to the best of my knowledge and belief and that I have reviewed the Indirect Cost Rate Schedule to determine that any costs which are expressly unallowable under the Federal cost principles have been removed and comply with Title 23 U.S.C. Section 112(b)(2), 48 CFR Part 31, 23 CFR Part 172, and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations. I also certify that I understand that all documentation of compliance must be retained by the consultant.
