Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subconsultant, subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.

City will pay to Consultant a sum equivalent to the reasonable value of the services satisfactorily provided up to the date of suspension. City may rescind the suspension prior to or at six (6) months by providing Consultant with written notice of the rescission, at which time Consultant would be required to resume performance in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Project Name and Location: Santa Monica Boulevard Bus Lanes Case Study, West Hollywood California
Project Owner: City of West Hollywood
Time on Project: 2013
Project Role: Project Engineer
Duties and Description: The City of West Hollywood initiated a $45 million pavement reconstruction project along Santa Monica Blvd., incorporating ADA curb ramps, sidewalk enhancements, center median upgrades, dedicated bus lane access, bus stations, and pavement delineation to accommodate varied traffic. However, within six months of completion, severe rutting of approximately 2 inches in depth occurred along the bus lanes due to inappropriate pavement materials selection. G3 conducted a forensic investigation, collaborating with the city and neighboring stakeholders, to assess the pavement design. It was found that the chosen hot mix asphalt (HMA) was unsuitable for the project's demands. The root cause was identified as the lower layer of the RHMA section, which failed to withstand the traffic loading stresses. Consequently, the city reconstructed the bus lanes using appropriate materials and integrated recommendations into future project designs for cost-effective pavement reconstruction. Collaborative design reviews were implemented to prevent similar material selection issues in future projects, ensuring pavement durability against dedicated bus traffic stresses. As the Project Engineer, Larry reviewed pavement design and construction documents, inspected and logged pavement condition and surface defects, sampled and performed laboratory testing on HMA samples for developing opinions and conclusions on the significance and cause of pavement distresses.

Agreements for Professional Services to perform As-Needed Professional C... Page 1232 of 2161 IND-PSA rev20221214 Dynamic Engineering Services, Inc.
Page | 6
standards of performance set forth this section, additional specific standards of performance and performance criteria may be set forth in Exhibit “A” “Scope of Services” that shall also be applicable to Consultant’s work under this Agreement.

Consultant shall keep itself informed of and comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, regulations and rules in effect during the term of this Agreement. Consultant shall at all times observe and comply with all such laws, ordinances and regulations, and shall be solely responsible for any failure to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.

(b) It is the understanding of City and Consultant that Prevailing Wage Laws do not apply to this Agreement because the Agreement does not involve any of the following services subject to prevailing wage rates pursuant to the California Labor Code or regulations promulgated thereunder: Construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work performed on public buildings, facilities, streets or sewers done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of public funds.

Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. (b) City understands and acknowledges that Consultant is, as of the date of execution of this Agreement, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Consultant is unaware of any stated position of City relative to such projects. Any future position of City on such projects shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.

Any such future service shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.

(d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subconsultants be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed thereunder. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
SECTION 16. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY CONSULTANT. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, representatives and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions and proceedings (whether at law or equity, administrative or judicial), demands, orders, judgments, losses, injuries (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Consultant or subconsultants), liabilities of every kind (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, and litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and cost of investigation), damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, (collectively "Claims") that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any goods provided or performance of Services by Consultant, its officers, agents, employees, representatives, subconsultants, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone that they control. Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Indemnified Parties, shall not include any Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. (b) INDEMNIFICATION FROM SUB-CONSULTANTS. Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subconsultant, subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set

SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT.

Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledges, however, that Consultant, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize subconsultants.
If in the performance of its duties Consultant utilizes subconsultants or subcontractors, Consultant covenants that subcontracts, if any, shall contain a provision making subconsultants or subcontractors subject to all provisions stipulated in this Agreement, including without limitation, the insurance obligations set forth in Section 17 “Insurance.” The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the City is an intended beneficiary of any work performedby any subconsultant or subcontractor for purposes of establishing a duty of care between any subconsultant or subcontractor and the City.

City will pay to Consultant a sum equivalent to the reasonable value of the services satisfactorily provided up to the date of suspension. City may rescind the suspension prior to or at six (6) months by providing Consultant with written notice of the rescission, at which time Consultant would be required to resume performance in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Construction Management On-Call Task Order: Rancho Los Coyotes Street Improvement
Description: The specific scope of work includes paving Rancho Los Coyotes between Avenue 38 and Avenue 39 in Indio, north of Interstate
10. The project includes roadway excavation and grading, aggregate base, asphalt concrete pavement, drainage improvement, roll curb and driveway, and cross gutter.
Scope of Work: DESI, as a subconsultant, provided a full array of construction and contract management services including resident engineering; office engineering; roadway, drainage and SWPPP inspection; utility coordination and relocation; claim mitigation; labor compliance monitoring; and prevailing wage enforcement.
Overcoming Project Challenges: Maintaining access to residential property at all times. DESI’s team had an inspector on site at all times during work hours, communicating the project schedule and activities with property owners. Our inspector established a great working relationship with the contractor and property owners and was able to provide the property owners with correct and up-to-date information and assist property owners with their inquiries and needs.

I-10 Monterey Avenue Ramp Realignment
Description: This project is one of the I-10 Corridor Improvement Projects in the Coachella Valley area. Monterey Avenue I-10 Interchange serves the growing campuses of the University of California Riverside, College of the Desert, the Palm Desert Campus of Cal State San Bernardino, and substantial commercial activities within the area including Costco, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Super Wal-Mart. With as many as 104,000 vehicles per day entering and exiting the freeway, traffic congestion can be fierce.
The purpose of this project was to increase left-turn storage capacity along Monterey Avenue and provide congestion relief for motorists traveling on northbound Monterey Avenue to the existing westbound on-ramp.
Improvements consisted of widening the existing westbound on-ramp, adding a westbound loop on-ramp for northbound Monterey traffic, realigning the westbound off-ramp to connect with Varner Road instead of Monterey Avenue, and adding a traffic signal at Varner Road. The project also included construction of retaining, sound, and tie-back (ground anchor) walls; new driveway; motorized gate for Sparky’s Self Storage; irrigation; and landscaping.
Scope of Work: DESI, as a prime consultant, provided a full array of construction and contract management services including resident engineering, office engineering, roadway and electrical inspection, utility coordination and relocation, labor compliance monitoring, and prevailing wage enforcement.
Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang served as the project manager/resident engineer on this project, managing day-to-day construction activities in the field. She reviewed and approved project submittals, coordinated and provided directions for requests for information (RFI), evaluated and prepared potential project change orders, and reviewed and mitigated potential claims.
This project received the 2016 Project of the Year Award from the American Public Works (APWA), Coachella Valley Chapter and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), San Bernardino and Riverside Counties Branch. This project was completed on time and within budget.
Overcoming Project Challenges: Minimized local business impact. DESI’s team worked closely with a selfstorage facility next to the project, providing constant communication with the business operator on project activities, working hours, and lane closure information. This minimized project impacts to the business during the reconstruction of the driveways at the self-storage facility and provided non-interrupted access to the business at all times.

SR-60/Central Avenue Interchange Improvement
Description: This project widens Central Avenue bridge and on-ramp to accommodate three through lanes and double left-turn lanes in both directions as well as widening the existing eastbound and westbound onramps from one lane to two through lanes. In addition, 2,100 LF of soil nail retaining walls are being constructed at both on-ramps with architectural wall designs featuring City of Chino culture; traffic signals, bridge/street lighting, ramp metering, and fiber optic communication modified with vehicle emergency preemption; a new automatic irrigation system installed with new landscaping including more than 20,000 plants, shrubs, and ground covers supplemented by gravel and wood mulches; and sidewalk and curb ramp upgraded to comply with current ADA requirement. The project will relieve congestion and improve traffic flow on Central Avenue at SR-60 Interchange.
Scope of Work: DESI, as a prime consultant, is providing a full array of construction and contract management services including resident engineering; office engineering; roadway, structure, SWPPP and electrical inspection; utility coordination and relocation; labor compliance monitoring; prevailing wage enforcement; submittal review; and claim mitigation.
Overcoming Project Challenges: The project was delayed due to an adjacent project not completing on time. DESI’s team worked with the contractor to re-stage the soil nail wall construction on the eastbound on-ramp into two phases in order to allow for the wall construction to start while waiting for completion of the other project before starting the second section of the soil nail wall. With the cooperation and partnering spirit from the team, the project delay was minimized.

providing similar services
for the City
a. Description of the Work Objectives
A description of the work objectives including tasks, sub-tasks, and deliverables that DESI anticipates providing is included at the end of this section.
b. Most Important Items and Firm’s Unique Qualities
Based on our firm’s experience providing similar construction management and inspection services throughout Coachella Valley and the Inland Empire, the most important items in order to successfully deliver these services are maintaining quality, budget, and schedule control on our projects along with ensuring personnel availability, team cohesion, and streamlined communications.
Quality Control
Our internal QA/QC process is simple and does not require additional time demands from City staff. Routinely, Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang will conduct an independent review of the Project records for their adherence to the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures and Guidelines as well as compliance with various funding source requirements to ensure 100% funding reimbursement.
The DESI Team has developed multiple Quality Control Plans on previous projects and will leverage our experience. Upon selection, our Project Manager will work diligently with the City’s construction manager to develop and ensure implementation of a Project specific Quality Control Plan that includes a clearly defined Project Communication ladder and adherence to Caltrans Construction Manual and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure Manual.
DESI’s team members understand the importance of managing the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) and Regulatory Agency Permit Requirements to ensure environmental compliance.
Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang is a Qualified Storm Water Practitioner/ Development and is a certified Trainer of Record by the California Storm Water Quality Association. She can provide as-needed on-the-job training to Project staff.
Project records will be clear and concise, as DESI Team members are well aware of the importance of project documentation. We are fully aware that the Project files containing materials acceptance tests, certificates of compliance, and source inspection of commercial materials must be completed, logged, and are subject to auditing. Failed tests must be shown and re-tests must be clearly identified on the Log.
The DESI Team will ensure Quality Control/Quality Assurance of materials by adherence to City of Indio’s Quality Management Plan (QMP) addressing testing of soils, aggregates, asphalt, concrete and City of Indio Traffic Signal

all other materials. Our team will ensure certification of material testers are on file, are current, and that the testing laboratory has the necessary credentials and certifications to perform the required materials testing.
Proposed Testing Technicians are certified by Caltrans Independent Assurance and all of the required testing can be performed in Twining’s lab in Riverside. We will utilize the Caltrans Construction Manual project record filing system as a guideline and tailor file categories, especially for on-call task orders, to meet the City’s goals.
The Inspector’s Daily Report is an invaluable tool for project quality control; it will include an accurate description of the work performed, rejected work, unsatisfactory conditions, project photos, and quantity calculation for item work during the course of that day. These diaries are reviewed by the project manager/resident engineer daily for clarity and accuracy. An example of DESI’s Daily Report from a previous project is included in the appendix. The DESI Team knows the importance of accurate and complete quantity calculations and will conduct quantity measurement verification, prepare quality calculation sheets, and submit the progress pay estimate to the City for review and approval.
Schedule Control
The DESI Team has an excellent track record of completing projects on time, within budget and without claims. Outstanding issues will be resolved during the project through mutual understanding and a spirit of partnering. The DESI Team will keep accrued and up-to-date red-lined As-Built drawings during construction by updating drawing weekly.
Budget Control
The ultimate responsibility for controlling the cost of the project and construction management services rests with Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang. Along with the City’s construction manager, we will accurately and precisely define our scope of work and the cost associated with each task. Our service costs will be monitored on a weekly basis. Timesheets and any other expenses will be collected weekly as well. Invoices will be submitted to the City for review and approved monthly along with Time Cards and Certified Payroll Records. Chia-Chi will obtain prior approval for overtime or any other direct cost expenses from the City’s project manager.
Availability of Project Manager and Staff
Having a qualified and capable Project Manager supported by experienced staff is critical to delivering civil engineering services. Our team is committed to providing the City with construction management services on future task order, regardless of the project size, and will ensure that DESI’s personnel are available. As a smaller firm, we have the ability to adjust project staffing more easily if needed.
Cohesive Teaming and Streamlined Communications
Having a cohesive team that prioritizes open and frequent communication with the City, stakeholders, regulatory agencies, business owners, and residents is also critical in delivering the scope of services. All of our team members have a history of working together and for the City. We will draw on those successful working relationships, including with the City’s project manager, construction staff, and maintenance staff to keep the Project on track.

c. Project Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
DESI understands that the City is seeking qualified consulting firms to provide on-call construction management services for various capital improvement projects and that the selected consultant firms will be placed on a bench for future task orders. We understand that the services and deliverables will be unique for each individual task order assigned and include scopes of work throughout the entire project duration including administration/pre-construction, construction, inspections, and post construction activities.
DESI will provide qualified staff to ensure that the contract will conform with the plans, specifications, special provisions, environmental documents, permits, and all applicable City, Caltrans manuals, and local requirements. DEIS’s team has reviewed the contract documents that have been made available in preparation for this proposal and our approach for completing the scope of work is outlined below.
Approach
Pre-Construction, Construction and Post-Construction Management activities will be employed in an orderly, timely and organized manner.
Prior to bid time, DESI’s team will assist the City in providing a complete set of contract documents that identity and address concerns from the City, regulatory agencies, business owners, residents, and commuters.
Furthermore the completed contract documents will offer clear direction to all parties involved and will serve as a tool to control and maintain Project scope, schedule and cost.
Our team members are fully prepared to offer diverse services to the City that includes constructability review, bid documents preparation, utility relocation and coordination, construction management, project administration, quality assurance inspection, construction surveying, material sampling, testing and source inspection, scheduling, contract change order negotiation, risk management, claim avoidance and resolution and project close-out. We will provide oversight of all construction activities, and will enforce the terms of permits with Caltrans, the City, and various regulatory agencies.
Phase 1: Pre-Construction
Project Kick-Off Meeting: Project Manager Chia-Chi
Wang will request a meeting with the Project team to
gain an understanding of different perspectives from
all stakeholders. This meeting will also establish roles, responsibilities, and communication procedures for
the construction management team.
Risk Management: Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang
with get input from the Project team and stakeholders
to create a Risk Register that captures any potential
risks and opportunities on the Project as well as
identify risk levels and develop an action plan.
This document will assist the Project Manager in
monitoring potential risks and opportunities as well as deploying strategies and an action plan to avoid costly Project delays.
Constructability Analysis and Review: DESI’s team
will conduct a comprehensive constructability review
of the 95% Plan, Specifications & Estimate package,
technical reports, agreements; Resident Engineer’s
pending files, and associated items in order to verify
completeness of the contract documents. Crucial
elements in the constructability analysis are bidability, Proven Approach
All of the construction
management and
inspection projects
that DESI has primed
and/or served as the
resident engineer
have been completed
on schedule, within
budget, and without
claims using this
approach.

the consistency between the pay item list and the
payment cause specified in the specifications,
quantity discrepancies, and potential conflicts.
Bid Evaluation: DESI’s team will assist in reviewing
the Contractor’s bid document for compliance with the
bid package. We will concentrate on identifying any
non-responsive or unbalanced bid components and to
make appropriate recommendations.
Pre-Construction Condition Documentation:
Documenting the existing site condition is essential.
Good and proper documentation can often mitigate
disputes between the Contractor, the City and other
stakeholders. DESI’s team will photograph and video
existing field condition specifically condition.
Phase 2: Construction Phase
Submittals Identification: At the same time
constructability reviews are performed, our team will
also identify all submittals required by the Contractor in a checklist format and will provide this information to the Contractor at the pre-construction meeting.
Submittals will be logged and progress review will be
tracked.
Project Communication and Coordination: Project
Manager Chia-Chi Wang will serve as the singlefocal point for all project related communication. This approach ensures that the Contractor only receives
information from a single source and facilitates
effective communication among all Project team
members.
Construction Management Plan, Quality Assurance
Plan and Source Inspection Quality Management
Plan: Project Manager Chia-Chi Wang will discuss all
pertinent portions of the CMP with entire construction
management staff to make sure that everyone
understands the requirements, roles, responsibilities
and objectives of the Project. The discussion will also focus on QAP requirements, especially how the team
will handle the rejected work and non-conforming
materials, corrective action taken, and audit trail
documentations.
Project Progress Meeting: The Project Manager
Chia-Chi Wang will coordinate and conduct weekly
progress meetings with the Contractor, stakeholders
and any interested parties to review Project progress,
schedule, change orders, requests for information
(RFIs), submittals, outstanding issue, and safety
concern. Meeting Minutes will be prepared and
distributed to all project stakeholders.
Documentation Control: This is a key requirement
to ensure that the Project meets funding agency
requirements. DESI will maintain a tracking system
for all documents include correspondence, RFIs and
responses, Daily Reports, Contract Change Orders,
Material Testing and Acceptance, Progress Payment
with supporting calculations. It is our goal that revised documents are distributed to the Project team and
appropriate personnel in a timely matter so all team
members have the most updated Project information
to perform their daily duties.
Quality Assurance Inspection: Quality assurance
inspector’s responsibility is not only to accept or
reject the work performed by the Contractor, but also
includes developing a trusted working relationship
based on mutual respect so that the Contractor
diligently works with the construction management
team and completes the contract items correctly and
expeditiously the first time. The Contractor will be
notified immediately when field issues are identified.
Cooperative solutions will developed to resolve field
conflicts and minimized re-work.
Daily Report: DESI’s team members will be
responsible for observing and monitoring all aspects
of the Project work activities, provide daily reports
and photographic documentation of construction
process, and maintain one set of conforming contract

documents. A report will be prepared by all field staff daily and will also include critical conversations,
problems encountered, and resolutions. A report must
be submitted and reviewed by the Project Manager
daily. An a daily report example is included in the
appendix.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention and Environmental
Monitoring: Protecting our natural resources has
become one of the most important elements on
construction projects. DESI’s team has the expertise
and experience to perform storm water pollution
inspection and environmental monitoring. Our team
members have been trained on Best Management
Practices and will monitor the Contractor’s daily
activities for compliance. Project Manager, Chia-Chi
Wang, is a certified Trainer of Record with CASQA
and will be the SWPPP Coordinator for the City with
California Regional Water Board.
Project Schedule and Updates: The project schedule
is a critical tool for schedule management. Project
Manager Chia-Chi Wang will review the baseline
schedule and 3-week look ahead schedule for
contract compliance. We will work with the Contractor
to eliminate and/or mitigate the impacts of schedule
delays. This updated schedule is beneficial in
negotiating contract change orders and analyzing time
extension requests and potential claim analysis.
Change Order Management: Project Manager ChiaChi Wang will review potential change orders for contractual and technical merit, prepare independent
cost estimates, and schedule analysis of work. She
will discuss the proposed changes with the City at first sight of possible change in details, provide cost and
schedule impacts, and with City concurrence she will
negotiate and prepare change orders for execution.
Claims Management and Mitigation: Project Manager
Chia-Chi Wang will maintain open communication
with the Contractor to identify any potential Project
risks or conflicts. These unforeseen issues will be
documented in Risk Register. These issues will be
continually monitored by Chia-Chi to ensure any field
issues are promptly addressed to minimized and/or
avoid any construction claims.
Construction Safety Oversight: Although the
Contractor has the sole responsibility for
compliance with safety requirements on the
project, the construction management staff will
monitor compliance with the safety program, noted
deficiencies, and corrective action items. Our entire
team has the 10-hour OSHA Construction Outreach
Training and Caltrans Temporary Pedestrian Facility
Training. We will create a Project specific Safety
Checklist to be used in conjunction of the field safety review. As representatives of the City in the field, our team will issue directives to the Contractor to protect public safety and worker safety in an emergency.
Material Testing and Source Inspection Support
Services: DESI has assembled a team of experienced
and certified surveyors, material inspectors, and
technicians to perform all necessary material testing,
verification and inspection services. Acceptance
testing will be logged by different categories (i.e.
Aggregates, Asphalt, Concrete, Compaction, etc.).
Rejected test reports will have a similar numbering
system to create an easy to follow audit trail.
As-Built Drawing: DESI’s team will maintain up to
date as-built drawings, plans, track all changes based
on RFIs, and change orders. We will periodically
compare re-lined drawing/change information with the
Contractor to ensure accuracy.
Phase 3: Construction Close-Out Phase
A punchlist will be created throughout project progress and DESI’s team will ensure that all known punchlist
items are completed and any deficiencies are
corrected. We will coordinate with City Staff and the
project Designer in advance to conduct final project
inspection before accepting the Project.
Red-lined as-built drawings will be submitted to
Project Designer to prepare the electronic As-Built
Plan. Project files will be reviewed for completeness
and boxed for safe storage and any future Project
audits.
