Attn: George Hernandez
1315 Valley Drive,
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Re: RFQ No. 23-0001 On-Call Civil Engineering Services
John M. Cruikshank Consultants, Inc. (JMC2) is pleased to submit our qualifications to the City of Hermosa Beach Department of Public Works for On-Call Civil Engineering Services. JMC2 is a Los Angeles County based design firm providing engineering solutions for a wide variety of projects throughout Southern California including our work with the City of Hermosa Beach (City).

The team consists of JMC2 (civil/structural engineers), LRS (program/project management), Ninyo & Moore (geotech/environmental), and T&M Surveys (surveyors). Khaled Abdo, PE, will be our Contract Manager who will serve as the City’s day-to-day contact to ensure all City projects are progressing ontime, in-budget, and on point to address specific project needs. He will have the full support of JMC2’s two Southern California offices located in San Pedro and Santa Ana. Mr. Abdo will work closely with Ms. Lan Saadatnejadi (LRS) whose experience will help the City navigate any Caltrans requirements.

All projects start after the JMC2 team fully understands the necessary scope of work which happens after we visit the project site with the City and listen to their needs and project budgets. Then, we assemble the appropriate professionals to handle the work then develop a written work plan for the entire process. Civil engineering requires a thorough knowledge of existing conditions before improvements or changes can occur. For this, our engineers perform detailed site visits and document research, outreach to utility companies all while our surveyor starts their work.

Design occurs after there is an accurate engineering basemap (as-is conditions). Preliminary concepts are drawn using AutoCAD Civil 3D and shared with the City to confirm that is correct path. Using adopted building codes and standards, the JMC2 methodically develops plans, technical specifications, and engineering cost estimates (PS&E) until the City and other permitting agencies have approved a final bid package. We join the City at the contractor’s bid walk then stay involved through construction until final Record Drawings are submitted for City records. JMC2 has worked with the City of Hermosa Beach Public Works Department since 1996.

We look forward to the opportunity to further discuss JMC2’s approach, project understanding, and team qualifications for this On- Call Civil Engineering Services project. We are available to provide any additional information or proposal clarifications. We hereby confirm that all information provided is true and correct and attest that we have read and agree to the terms and conditions of the City of Hermosa Beach’s standard Agreement.

25 LRS Project Management Plan
We are prepared to serve as a seamless extension of your staff. We recognize the complexities of the Program, and our team will work with all departments and stakeholders to understand their needs and facilitate their involvement to achieve shared success. We have structured our approach to effectively manage the Program, with special focus on the primary Keys to Success discussed below:
i. Collaborative Teamwork. We are a firm believer of collaborative teamwork. Lan has a long track record of quickly integrating project teams to work cohesively towards the same project goals.

Lan will utilize collaborative approach to harvest good ideas, infuse industry best management practices (BMPs), analyze and prioritize these ideas, and further develop and refine the ideas to best fit the Program goals. This approach would facilitate communication, cultivate teamwork and encourage ownership which will drive positive outcome in the long-term. Some of the tools Lan uses include:
 Obtain and document consensus upfront on the deliverables, schedule, and communication protocol.
 Clarify roles and responsibilities of everyone involved and how each can succeed in assigned responsibilities and tasks.
 Provide support to team members and remove barriers.
 Give involved parties “heads-up” for critical dates for deliverables so they have time to align their resources to support this Program.
 Anticipate issues up front and develop mitigation approach.  Address issues arise without delay.
 Follow up, follow up, follow up.
ii. Risk Management. To minimize the impacts from potential risks, we will maintain an active Risk Register and assign potential cost and schedule impact values associated with each risk, as well as the probability of each risk. We will facilitate or support you with workshops with key risk holders, where appropriate. We will use the Risk Register as a tool to help us focus priorities and resources to avoid surprises and schedule delays.
iii. Schedule and Cost Control. To effectively manage the cost and schedule, we will take a programmatic approach to evaluate the interdependencies of all scope items along with the varying business impacts to any project delivery decision making. Working with City, we will work with the design teams and functional units to develop potential baseline budget, and a cost and resource loaded baseline schedule for each task being considered. iv. Informed and Expedited Decision Making. To facilitate close collaboration and decision making between the various City departments and stakeholders, we will first sit with each to understand their expectations for their involvement in each task. Next, we will conduct a facilitated kickoff/partnering session for all participants and designated stakeholders to have them share their goals, objectives, preferences, and priorities to develop alignment among stakeholders and work toward a common definition of success. Next, we will prepare our Project Management Plan and set up a Project Controls system, structured to efficiently facilitate each stakeholder’s performance and reporting expectations.
v. Plan, Execute, and Document. Before performing any tasks, we will automatically plan first before act and document the outcome. Project workplans will clearly identify who does what by when. The outcome will be shared with involved parties timely for everyone to stay on top of the project. For example, LRS uses the following approach to make sure that every meeting is meaningful and productive:

Set clear objectives and agenda prior to each meeting.
 Confirm that key members will be present.
 Have an internal pre-meeting before meeting with external entities.  Take clear notes with active listening.
 Confirm action items with clarity on who does what by when before adjournment.  Distribute meeting summary with action items highlighted within two (2) days of turn around so the project requirements stay as “top of mind” items. 448

NINYO & MOORE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Ninyo & Moore has established and implemented effective management control systems for efficient project administration. Our personnel are trained to respond quickly and efficiently to task orders and project situations as they arise in order to meet accelerated project deadlines. With three offices located in southern California, response times to client requests has historically been, and will continue to be, prompt. Ninyo & Moore will be available for meetings, job walks, and any other job- related activities. Additionally, Ninyo & Moore has developed flexible management systems, which allow project managers to draw on experienced technical and administrative personnel throughout the company. Clients have commended us for our ability to perform cost effectively within tight schedules, while maintaining technical integrity. Adherence to the short time frames associated with many projects illustrates our team’s understanding and dedication to satisfying project requirements in an expedient manner.

Ninyo & Moore has assembled the same highly-qualified and experienced team of senior professionals and technical staff that have successfully completed similar contracts involving on-call geotechnical services for many public agency/public-sector clients. One of our team’s strengths lies in the depth and varied technical expertise, responsiveness, experience, and qualifications of its key personnel and staff, and in the personal involvement of the principals. Our team has an exceptional reputation in the industry of being highly-responsive to our clients, and providing high-quality and technicallydefensible services while meeting challenging work schedules and maintaining cost control.

Ninyo & Moore’s team has experience solving client’s challenges throughout California. This experience has solidified our working knowledge of, and familiarity with, state and local regulations as well as with the submittal procedures of federal, state and local jurisdictional agencies. Through our experience, we have coordinated with multiple agencies and consultants concurrently and have been successful in completing projects on-time and within budget while gaining project approval from these multiple entities.

Most of our management controls to monitor project progress are pre-established prior to the beginning of the contract during proposal preparation and contract negotiations. These controls include:
• COMMUNICATION: Both written and verbal communications are keys to a successful on-call contract management;
• RESPONSE PROCEDURES: Ninyo & Moore is able to quickly respond to the client’s request for services due to the large pool of experienced and qualified personnel; • QUALITY: Our services are rendered in strict compliance to the firm’s rigorous Quality Assurance/ Quality Control program, which goes beyond the expectations of the industry; • SAFETY: It is the policy of Ninyo & Moore to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all of its employees through the prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses. 449

RE: On-Call Civil Engineering Services (RFQ 23-001)
Dear Mr. Hernandez and Members of the Selection Committee:

Michael Baker International, Inc. (Michael Baker) is pleased to submit its qualifications for the City of Hermosa Beach (City) On-Call Civil Engineering Services (RFQ 23-001).

When choosing a trusted advisor to provide engineering design services and construction support, the City of Hermosa Beach needs a consultant with the right combination of experience, expertise, and dependability – one that has demonstrated success in delivering engineering design services within Southern California, and specifically, for the City of Hermosa Beach. Michael Baker International (Michael Baker) has worked side-by-side with municipalities and public agencies throughout Southern California for over 80 years and has been the “Consultant of Choice” for many of these clients. We have held over 250 on-call contracts with public agencies in addition to the City of Hermosa Beach, including the City of Long Beach, City of Huntington Beach, City of Newport Beach, City of Cypress, City of Beverly Hills, Port of Long Beach, County of Los Angeles, Metro, and Caltrans Districts 7, 8, 11 and 12. Furthermore, our firm has the necessary resources and expertise to assist the City in delivering on its infrastructure commitments.

Michael Baker is committed to delivering outstanding service and work products to the City of Hermosa Beach. This proposal includes our firm’s qualifications for engineering design services, field survey, preliminary design, environmental documentation, utility research and coordination, development of detailed plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E), construction support and other miscellaneous support. We are enthusiastic about serving the City through this on-call contract and we look forward to demonstrating the following benefits:
• Proven Project Delivery – As part of the 2017 Street Improvements On-Call contract, Michael Baker completed the Hermosa Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation and Curb Ramp project PS&E, in a fast-tracked timeframe to help the City not lose critical project funding. In just 10 short weeks, Michael Baker produced a high-quality set of plans, specifications, and cost estimate that resulted in a smooth construction project with minimal construction change orders or contractor Requests for Information (RFIs). From this project, the City has firsthand experience with the quality and delivery capability of Michael Baker International. • A Versatile Contract Manager – Sarmad Farjo, PE, will serve as Contract Manager and has extensive experience in a wide array of civil engineering applications and delivery processes, including civil infrastructure, roads and highways, drainage, and utilities. He has managed projects valued at over $2 billion in capex and delivered successful projects to various agencies and clients. He will serve as the City’s primary point-of-contact and will utilize his experience and collaborative nature to successfully deliver task orders through this contract on-time and within budget.
• A Flexible and Responsive Team – Our team understands that the scope of task orders may evolve and are typically time-sensitive.

SUMMARY OF RELEVANT PROJECTS

HERMOSA AVENUE PAVEMENT RESURFACING & STREETSCAPE

IMPROVEMENTS

HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA
As part of the 2017 Street
Improvements On-Call
contract, Michael Baker
prepared the plans,
specifications, and
estimates (PS&E) for a
high-profile, fast-track
pavement resurfacing
and streetscape project
for the city of Hermosa
Beach. Due to a tight funding deadline, it completed the design quickly, while providing a high-quality PS&E. The project involved practical and aesthetic upgrades and improvements to re-brand the Hermosa Avenue main beachfront thoroughfare and create a sense of arrival in the downtown area. It included pavement rehabilitation, the upgrade of 46 curb ramps to ADA standards, new bulb-out curb returns, transit stop upgrades, and decorative DecoMark and DuraTherm pavement designs.

To revamp the thoroughfare, Michael Baker designed pavement cold milling and asphalt concrete overlay for 4,555 linear feet of roadway on Hermosa Avenue, from 10th Street to Greenwich Village Road, and upgraded 46 curb ramps to current ADA standards. It also designed three signal modifications, new signal loop detectors, eight bus benches and a bus shelter, pavement delineation, curb markings, and removed brick paver banding along the beachfront bike path known as “The Strand.”
Additionally, Michael Baker designed DuraTherm inlaid crosswalks at five intersections, including the highly visible Hermosa Avenue and Pier Avenue intersection. At the same intersection, Michael Baker included on the plans a “DecoMark” aesthetic pavement design that was installed at the intersection. Michael Baker also created four new bulb-out curb returns at the intersection of Hermosa Avenue and 14th Street.

Value-Added
To help the city avoid losing critical funding for the project, Michael Baker delivered its designs on an expedited schedule. The time from the notice to proceed to the advertisement of the bid documents was a remarkably short ten weeks. Michael Baker worked with the city to advertise the bid documents “at risk” before the plans were officially approved. At the same time, it produced high-quality plans that resulted in no required delta revisions and very few contractor questions during the bidding and construction phase.

PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY MEDIAN CHANNELIZATION

MALIBU, CALIFORNIA
Michael Baker prepared the design and environmental documents for the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) Median Channelization project between Webb Way and Puerco Canyon Road, approximately two miles within Malibu city limits. Its scope of work included the Project Initiation Document, project approval and environmental documentation, PS&E, and construction support under Caltrans oversight.

The project narrowed the
curbed median where
feasible on State Route 1
from Webb Way to Puerco
Canyon Road for 1.9 miles.

Narrowing the curbed
median where feasible
provided more room on
the right shoulder for a
combination of bike use
and on-street parking,
thereby improving safety on this segment of the PCH. The project did not stripe separate bike lanes but instead increased the right shoulder width within the existing paved cross-section without widening the roadway for the combined on-street parking and bicycle use. Where the median width is already at a minimum, the project rehabilitated the shoulder pavement to reduce the joint gap between the Portland cement concrete travelled way and the asphalt concrete shoulder pavement sections.

Michael Baker prepared plans, specifications, and estimates and completed the coastal commission permitting ahead of construction, during which the company will provide design support. Michael Baker also completed several documents – including the project initiation document, the PA&ED document (project report), and environmental document – under Caltrans District 7 oversight. Other required reports included a stormwater data report and aerially deposited lead report.

AVIATION BOULEVARD AT ARTESIA BOULEVARD INTERSECTION

MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Michael Baker assisted the client with preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Aviation Boulevard at Artesia Boulevard Southbound to Westbound Right Turn Improvement Project. The project widened the west side of Aviation Boulevard to the north of the intersection at Artesia Boulevard to accommodate a 12.5-foot right turn lane and an 8-foot pedestrian walkway; construct a new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) pedestrian curb ramp on the northwest corner of the Aviation Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard intersection; re-stripe the north leg of Aviation Boulevard; and provide new crosswalk striping at the west and north legs of the intersection.

These improvements addressed queuing deficiencies, improved roadway operations, and implemented improvements consistent with the Manhattan Beach General Plan Transportation Element. Key issues being addressed within the IS/MND included air quality impacts, noise, hazardous materials, and circulation.

Michael Baker has a system in place which is comprised of the following elements to keep the project/task order within schedule and budget:

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Michael Baker will develop a detailed Project Management Plan (PMP) for each project that is shared with all team members, including the City. The Project Management Plan (PMP) is a collection of all pertinent information required to successfully manage a project. The objectives of the PMP are as follows:
• Facilitate a standard process for planning the successful execution of a project • Be a one-stop reference tool for the Project Manager and other project staff • Serve as very critical resource to the next Project Manager if the current Project Manager leaves the project and must be replaced
This document provides a detailed plan for the execution of the project. It will also include the roles and responsibilities of each team member and a Specific Quality Management Plan (SQMP) for each task. The PMP will also include the project Communication Plan intended to ensure proper and efficient communication protocol within the project team.

SCOPE VERIFICATION AND CONTROL
The Michael Baker team understands that the scope verification process is very important to ensure that project deliverables are formally accepted. This will be achieved through the use of a well-defined scope of work for the project and by having each team lead develop and agree to the scope. Michael Baker will define the deliverables for each task in the scope.

Any issues that arise during the execution of the project will be addressed by the Michael Baker team. Our solutions and recommendations will be available for input by the City. This is part of the normal design development; however, any issues that could potentially require adjustments to scope will be communicated immediately to the City’s Project Manager along with our recommended solutions and a plan to recover schedule or budget, if required.

SCHEDULE CONTROL
The schedule prepared as part of the PMP will integrate the work of all subconsultants and will include milestones and sub-tasks, preparation and processing, in-house Quality Control and City or agency reviews. Once the detailed scope is established, our Project Manager will prepare a Critical Path Method (CPM) based schedule using MS Project or Primavera. As work proceeds and progresses, the project schedule will be closely monitored and tracked to assure timely adjustments are made. If schedule recovery is required, we are experienced in a number of different techniques and will select the most appropriate to the particular situation to recover the schedule. The project 490
Page | 25
Schedule will be updated and maintained monthly to ensure that it remains current and accurate and monthly updates will be furnished to the City Project Manager.

COST CONTROL
Our Contract Manager will track the cost and expenditure for each Task Order, using our in-house cost control tools.

Prior to each invoice, Michael Baker’s Task Manager will review the progress for consistency with the PMP and ensure that the billing does not exceed the estimated fee in the PMP for services rendered to date. This cost control plan ensures that our fee will always be properly tracked with the progress of work.

DOCUMENT CONTROL
Michael Baker has its own QA/QC system that makes all project documents, including QC checks and comment responses, available for delivery to our client.

The QC/QA Plan will be a written manual tailored specifically to the specific task order and consist of a series of requirements and procedures for defining the QC/QA measures to be implemented. The foundation of this Plan is based on a collaborative process of interdisciplinary and constructability reviews, and a detailed color-coded plan checking process.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The objective of risk management is to assess, plan for, and respond to events and conditions that might adversely impact the project, and to enhance opportunities that might positively impact the project. Therefore, risk management increases the probability/likelihood of project success.

Risk Management begins with identifying risks, which generally occurs during development of the project approach and is re-visited throughout project development as part of the project control.

Identified risks must be listed, addressed and tracked to either eliminate or avoid the risk so that they do not impact the project schedule and budget.

When a risk cannot be avoided, it is specified as a risk to budget and/or schedule. Once identified, a brainstorming session involving technical, budgetary, and management professionals is held to determine if a solution could be found to either eliminate or significantly reduce the risk. 491
