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.

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.

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.

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.

(e) Upon written notice, City may suspend all or any portion of Consultant’s performance under this Agreement at its sole option and for its convenience for a reasonable period of time not to exceed six (6) months. 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.

If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.
Consultant shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of Consultant.

Bradley Road Bridge
CITY OF MENIFEE | MENIFEE, CA
NV5 provided preliminary design and construction documents for this project to improve Bradley Road between Rio Vista Drive and Potomac Drive within the City of Menifee. This improvement consisted of providing an all-weather crossing at Salt Creek in lieu of the existing two-pipe culvert. The improvement is necessary for the surrounding communities that get stranded after a storm event ,as the roadway gets completely flooded and becomes impassable.
NV5 studied four alternatives, using different storm events. While numerous possibilities could be implemented for different levels of storm events, it became evident, after meeting with Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District staff, that the only acceptable alternatives for them would be those that would not cause objectionable backwater effects. In other words, any alternative that would cause the water surface elevations to rise to a point where the 1-foot freeboard to the top of their levees is jeopardized would be rejected. Therefore, given that criterion, along with the existing site constraints, we determined that a three-span bridge, approximately 335 feet long, would be capable of conveying the 100- year flows within Salt Creek while maintaining the current freeboard to RCFC&CD’s levee.

SCOPE OF WORK
Scope of Services
NV5 is a full-service engineering and consulting firm,
and we can provide the City with the scope of services
as included in the RFQ.
Understanding and Approach
NV5 can provide professional, comprehensive
engineering services on a per project or task order basis for all types of capital improvement projects. Below is our general project approach that will be modified and
tailored to meet each project’s needs.
WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
Upon issuance of a notice to proceed, our project
manager will meet with team members to review the
requirements, prepare a Work Breakdown Structure
and make team assignments for maximum efficiency
of resources. The detailed WBS will describe all of
the work tasks necessary to complete the project. A
master project schedule will be prepared following
the WBS to show the relationship between tasks,
the expected start date and duration for each item.
This schedule will serve as a guide to conducting and
monitoring the progress of the work and to assure
projects are completed on time and within budget. To
assure accurate monitoring and tracking of documents,
revisions and progress, a document tracking and control system will be developed. NV5 will meet with City
project representatives regularly and maintain constant communication to assure successful and timely delivery
of the project. Meeting minutes will be distributed within one week of the meeting identifying actions, items,
assignments and due dates.
COST CONTROL
We are able to continually review and evaluate a
project’s cost through all project phases to enable
informed and timely decision-making by our clients and
the entire project team. Cost control techniques include:
program budget analysis; value engineering; life-cycle
cost analysis; and quantity-based estimating. We rely
on an open-book, inclusive process that demonstrates
the costs and benefits of varying design options. This
budget confirmation process starts in the earliest stages of the project, when design and engineering alternatives have the greatest potential impact on costs. Our design teams analyze client goals, technical requirements,
alternative building concepts, construction costs and
long-term operational costs to define the optimum
scope within the budget, assuring long-term flexibility and value.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
The key to effective schedule control is to measure
actual progress and compare it to planned progress
on a regular basis and to take necessary corrective
action immediately. We propose to supplement each
major task as identified in the master project schedule with a supplemental schedule to keep careful track of
where each individual component stands. We identify
problems that may result from delays and readily
provide the opportunity to modify the schedule, as
required. This process assures the completion of your
projects on schedule.

SCOPE OF WORK
INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL APPROACHES
The NV5 team focuses on providing safe, cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable improvements using innovative design and contracting techniques that meet or exceed
the minimum standards based on design improvements
and minimize impacts to adjacent properties and
vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Our experienced
engineering staff provides lower-cost or lower-impact
alternatives in order to develop the least disruptive and least expensive designs.
One such example of our use of innovative techniques
can be seen in our work on the design of the Industrial Way Storm Drain and Drainage Improvements project for
the City of Costa Mesa.
The project included design of a drainage system to
alleviate the flooding in the area. The existing 48-inch storm drain pipe in the street (Industrial Way) was
not capable of handling the storm flood in its current
condition. We studied different design options and
performed hydrology and hydraulic analysis for various
alternatives. We designed a system that would limit the flow into the existing storm drain system. In addition, we designed an underground detention system consisting
of three (3) rows of 12-inch, perforated corrugated
metal pipes within the available portion of the adjacent field. The new drainage system solved the flooding
problem in the area and saved the City Public Works
Department a substantial amount of money. The
proposed design alternative was much superior to a
conventional trenching method within the street area
consisting of replacing a large segment of the existing pipe with a larger diameter pipe and adding numerous
catch basins. The construction of the new drainage
system was completed on time and it is working just as
intended.
Our team utilizes the latest in civil engineering design software to facilitate timely, efficient, and innovative engineering design solutions for our clients. We rely
on a host of computer resources, which includes upto-date, state-of-the-art technology that is in use today throughout the engineering industry. We make maximum
use of PC-based CADD systems that allow for the storage of typical details, establish similarity of plan layouts, and enable rapid duplications for the efficient preparation of plan sheets.
Our team also provides construction management for
public works projects to several local agencies. We
take our commitment to building innovative projects
seriously, and will have our in-house construction
management staff review plans and specifications for
constructability. This is a good opportunity to obtain
the view of those from the field and reduce potential
difficulties that may be encountered during the
construction of a project.
MANAGING RESOURCES
NV5 will meet with City project representatives regularly and remain in constant communication to assure
successful and timely delivery of the project. Bi-weekly meeting agendas, if necessary, will be distributed at
least two working days before each meeting. Meeting
minutes will be distributed within one week of the
meeting identifying actions, items, assignments and due dates. Utilizing this technique will assure consistency in decisions, and will provide a concise list of tasks to be accomplished by each participant and a specific time
schedule to complete the task.
Senior staff will meet with assigned project personnel
regularly and remain in constant communication to
assure successful and timely delivery of the project.
Utilizing this technique will guarantee adequate
technical support, thorough review and analysis
of project issues, consistency in decisions and
recommendations, and will provide a concise list of
tasks to be accomplished by each team member and a
specific time schedule to complete the task.
This constant communication, in conjunction with
in-person meetings, allows our staff to meet project
milestones.

SCOPE OF WORK
FAMILIARITY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL
PROCEDURES
We understand that the development of Federal
and State funded projects requires more than the
preparation of design reports and PS&E. More and
more, engineers are required to navigate their projects through the complex federal aid process involving preaward audits, authorizations, and timely use of fund provisions. Our experience with the regulatory agencies controlling these funding sources has afforded us the
opportunity to support our clients through the process
of developing the day-to-day procedures required to
secure authorization and reimbursement for federally
funded projects. This participation has put us in a
position to offer our clients an unparalleled level of
understanding of the process required to comply with
Federal and State requirements. Our work with local,
state and federal agencies keeps us in the forefront of current updates to policies and procedures, allowing our clients to benefit from our regular involvement in the
project delivery process.
FEDERAL FUNDING REQUIREMENTS
The NV5 project team has provided program
management, project engineering, design and
construction support for a broad range of federally
funded transportation projects, including Safe Routes
to School projects, Community Development Block
Grant projects, and projects funded through the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
and other federal programs.
Our project experience includes preparing all or a
portion of the federal paperwork for Caltrans for Local Assistance. We are well versed in the preparation of the E-76 package and the dictates of the Local Assistance
Procedures Manual requirements.
We are also experienced in the key federal provisions
to be included in project specifications, including
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goals, compliance
with Davis Bacon Act for prevailing wage provisions,
flow-down provisions to subcontractors, and a variety of other federal statutes and regulations.
Public Works projects often have multiple funding
sources, including federal, state and local funding. We will develop and maintain a project documentation
system acceptable to and in line with state and federal funding requirements. At a minimum, it will encompass
the following items:
•Verification of submission of bonds and insurance
documents from the contractor
• Maintenance of a current record of all contract
documents relevant to the contract work at the
project site
• Maintenance of as-built set of contract plans
•Creation and maintenance of photographic album
of all project phases which will be indexed for ease
of retrieval
As the City’s consultant, if desired, we can also support your federal funding/grant program with quarterly status reports on the project design and design contract.
QUALITY CONTROL
NV5 achieves our quality vision and objectives by
maintaining and continually improving a Quality
Management Plan (QMP). The NV5 QMP builds quality
into everything that we do and encompasses four
fundamental elements.
•Quality Assurance: (PLAN) Proactively planning for
quality and auditing our processes to make sure
that they are effectively meeting our objectives
•Quality Control: (DO) Processes for checking our
products to determine if they are performing as
expected and meeting objectives and requirements.
•Performance Measurement: (CHECK) Measuring
and monitoring the level to which our quality
management system is meeting the objectives
•Continuous Improvement: (ACT) Assuring our
processes and products are always being improved
to better and more efficiently meet our quality
objectives based on our performance measures
and client feedback.
QA/QC PROCESS
Responsiveness is not only about being quick, but also
about being a quality complete submittal. Accurate,
complete and timely deliverables are our priority.
That is why we’ve implemented a quality assurance
and quality control plan as a standard procedure that
starts upon the receipt of a Task Order. Our QC policy
requires our CADD designer, project designer, and
project manager to sign the cover sheet and commit
that they have reviewed the submittal and are accepting responsibility for the quality of the documents prior
City Indio | On-Call Professional Civil Engineering Services NV5 | 22
Agreements for Professional Services to perform As-Needed Professional C... Page 883 of 2161
SCOPE OF WORK
to being submitted for review by peers. Our process
includes having an independent, qualified reviewer,
review project deliverables before every milestone
submittal. This makes the products cleaner and enables
the recipient to focus on the design and aesthetics of
the project. Additionally, we engage our construction
management team early in the design process to assure
that the concepts and designs being developed will be
both biddable and buildable. We ask for the same level
of commitment from all of our NV5 team members,
including our subconsultants.
In addition, we constantly search for ways to improve
each task by employing economical thinking and ideas,
without sacrificing quality. NV5 has streamlined and
standardized the QA/QC process to improve project
delivery. The QMP incorporates best practices to be
followed; however, every project should be tailored to
meet specific project intent and requirements. The
objectives of NV5’s QMP are:
•Identify key project quality roles and resources.
•Identify and describe quality processes and
procedures applicable to the project. The QMP
assures that all team members are following the
same processes.
•Serve as a reference tool for the Project Manager
and Project QA/QC Manager in carrying out
the steps related to quality control and quality
assurance.
•Provide the City with a concise picture and
documentation of NV5’s quality- related processes
and procedures.
In addition to inclusion of QC procedures specific to
the project disciplines, the QMP describes the quality
assurance reviews that are to be performed for each
project. Reviews include the following:
QC Review: Review performed by an engineering
supervisor not involved in the portion of the work
being reviewed. The objectives are to review the
documents for correctness and identify (red line)
incorrect calculations, assumptions, items not meeting
standards, or missing information that needs to be
included. This is a check for fatal flaws in the design and to verify the project standards have been met.
Inter-disciplinary Review: Review by technical staff
familiar with each individual discipline of the design
(including subconsultants) for consistency and
continuity and to avoid design conflicts.
Constructability Review: Performed by qualified
engineers to determine the constructability of a project relative to scope, schedule, construction procedure, and adherence to industry standards.
QA Review and Audit: Review to verify the process
and procedures of the QMP have been followed and
implemented. The QMP also identifies the need and
frequency of quality audits. These audits are a means
to assure that a QMP is in place, is appropriate, and
is being followed. Typically audits occur at the key
project milestones (i.e. 30, 60, 90% design submittals).
Additional optional reviews may also be performed.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
To demonstrate our understanding of the design
process, we have provided a general scope of work for a typical project. This serves as an example scope of work that will be modified per project needs.
TASK 1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Kickoff Meeting
Following the notice to proceed, NV5 will schedule
and attend a kickoff meeting with City staff to initiate the project; establish lines of communication; review
and refine, if needed, the project scope of work and
schedule; establish design guidelines; discuss project
parameters and constraints; and obtain background

project location to assure a detailed depiction of existing City Indio | On-Call Professional Civil Engineering Services NV5 | 23
Agreements for Professional Services to perform As-Needed Professional C... Page 884 of 2161
SCOPE OF WORK
conditions and work requirements on the plans and
specifications. NV5 believes that clear and concise
plans and specifications are achieved through a total
understanding of the existing conditions, properties and environment of the project. Consequently, the NV5 team
will conduct site visits as required to assure a proper design.
Project Review Meetings
At project review meetings, we will review project status, including progress, budget and schedule. The review
meetings will be scheduled at the 60%, 90% and 100%
submittals to obtain the City’s and other involved
parties’ comments. At each meeting, we will prepare
meeting agenda and minutes, including action items.
Data Collection
NV5 will research the City’s and other records to
obtain all available as-built improvement plans and
record drawings, atlas maps, parcel maps, right-of-way
data, address/business lists, reports and any other
information pertinent to the project. Collection of data also will include contact and coordination with other City departments and agencies, if necessary.
TASK 2. UTILITY RESEARCH AND COORDINATION
Following the notice to proceed and using the City’s
standard contact form, we will notify, in writing, each utility purveyor of the City’s proposed plans and request copies of record drawings or atlas maps of existing and proposed facilities within the project boundary. Utilities shown on the record drawings will be surface verified
and added to the base map, along with the most
recent easement lines shown for each facility. We will
prepare a utility notification log to track utility company responses, including contact information and dates of
all outgoing and incoming correspondence. City staff will be informed on all discussions with utility companies
via written meeting minutes or records of telephone
conversations.
TASK 3. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Field and record information will be acquired to
complete a topographic survey for design purposes. As
required, we will provide surveying tasks that meet the project goal, including, but not limited to, topographic survey, preparation of legal descriptions and exhibits, and any other document required for right-of-way takes, easements and plats.
TASK 4. HYDROLOGY/HYDRAULICS
This task item will include a complete hydrologic
evaluation of the project drainage area and tributary
areas to determine flow quantities and hydraulic design of the project components needed to convey these
flows. Hydraulic calculations will be prepared to evaluate the size and capacity of items, such as streets, curbs
and gutters, pipes, ditches/swales, and catch basins.
•NPDES Reports, WQMP and SWPPP. NV5 will
prepare the required NPDES reports for the related
projects. Our team has gone through the education
and training required by the Water Quality Control
Board and has certified QSP/QSD engineers to
prepare and administer the installation of Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP). We will
analyze and identify the appropriate level of SWPPP
based on the location of the project in respect to
the critical and sensitive water bodies in the City.
The plan will be submitted and approved prior to
construction. Water Quality Management Plans are
also an integral part of the projects and required
per the City’s NPDES permit. NV5 will prepare
a WQMP using all pertinent standards from the
County, City, the Regional Water Quality Control
Board and any other relevant projects. The WQMP
will be part of the project records after completion
of the project.
TASK 5. PLAN PREPARATION
The improvement plans will be prepared to conform to
the general requirements of the City with consideration of the needs of the contractor’s construction operations.
NV5 will deliver completed and approved construction
drawings on or ahead of the project schedule. All
City Indio | On-Call Professional Civil Engineering Services NV5 | 24
Agreements for Professional Services to perform As-Needed Professional C... Page 885 of 2161
SCOPE OF WORK
plans will be prepared and submitted in a manner that
assures a complete design approved by the City, with
assumed plan checks during the submittals (60%, 90%
and 100%). The construction drawings will conform to
the appropriate applicable standard plans.
TASK 6. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Special provisions, describing project-related issues
and the technical requirements, will be prepared. The
special provisions will describe special design and
coordination features of the project, as well as provide requirements for materials, equipment, installation and workmanship. A bid schedule will also be prepared and
broken out into sufficiently detailed tasks to assist in evaluating the bids and preparing progress payments.
City-furnished contract and insurance documents and a
reduced set of drawings will be included in the complete specification package.
TASK 7. COST ESTIMATE
Detailed construction cost estimates will be developed
for each plan submittal to the City. The estimates will incorporate price quotes from equipment vendors,
and will reflect the most recent trends in construction pricing.
We will provide two hard copies and one electronic
copy of the construction-ready plans and technical
specifications based on 100% review comments
from the City. The final quantities and construction
cost estimate will also be submitted based on the
construction-ready plans. As part of the final submittal and at the City’s request, we can provide all affected
utilities with the final plans and specifications.
TASK 8. CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
Our firm specializes in construction support and
management for numerous public agencies in Riverside,
Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles counties. We
build close relationships with our clients to assure
a successful construction project. As part of our
construction assistance, we will provide the following
support role tasks:
•Provide design clarification of contract documents
and respond to a contractor’s RFIs within five
working days of the RFI submittal (pre-bid and
construction phases)
•Review contractor submittals, shop drawings and
material certifications
•Provide as-built drawings on 22- by 34-inch highquality mylar within 10 calendar days of receiving construction redline drawings from the City.
TASK 9. RIGHT-OF-WAY
Our first step will include property research to establish the existing right-of-way as a basis for determining
the potential for additional right-of-way requirements.
Eliminating the property needed and minimizing impacts
to properties will be a primary design goal. However,
should the acquisition of additional right-of-way be
necessary, each parcel where a right-of-way take may
be required will be thoroughly evaluated. As required,
we will prepare plat maps, legal descriptions, final maps for recording and other necessary documents for the
identification of existing and proposed rights-of-way, as well as temporary construction easements.

Project Experience
Espola Road Bike Lane Improvements
CITY OF POWAY | POWAY, CA
Project Manager. Ms. O’Neal served as Project Manager and oversaw the preparation of the preliminary and final design documents (plans, specifications, and cost estimates) for the Espola Road Bike Lane Improvement Project. The project included the widening of the pavement in the area of a tight sweeping turn on Espola Road along a marked bike route. The new pavement area will accommodate the construction of new bike lanes from just north of the intersection of Poway Road and Espola Road and continuing north to approximately Range Park Road. The project’s goal is to minimize the amount of grading and impact to the surrounding slopes and native vegetation on the east and western slopes of the project. During all phases of construction, Espola Road will be open to traffic. Therefore, the design includes permanent traffic control for all phases.
The design includes roadway/bike lane plans, striping and signing plans, traffic control plans, hydraulics/hydrology study, storm water quality management plans, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans. NV5 was also responsible for providing topographic and right-of-way survey, geotechnical investigation, preliminary environmental assessment, conceptual alignment study, and San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) Coordination.
Lake Drive Storm Drain Replacement
CITY OF ENCINITAS
Project Manager. Ms. O’Neal is managing the team providing engineering design services for the project, which involves the replacement of approximately 2,000 feet of failed 48-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with new reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) through an environmentally sensitive canyon area between Lake Drive and Interstate 5 (I-5). During the design period, due to significant and unusual regional rainfall events, a large sinkhole developed at the top of the project limits, eventually affecting a portion of Lake Drive and local utilities, prompting an emergency response by the City. NV5 worked closely with the City and the emergency construction crews to produce an emergency “interim” design to collect and convey the drainage. At the same time, the failed slope and adjacent roadway were reconstructed. The “interim” improvements were then incorporated into the final design condition, leading to the detention basin, avoiding the need for additional disturbance of the newly restored area.

Dogwood Road Bridge
COUNTY OF IMPERIAL | IMPERIAL COUNTY, CA
Project Geologist. The existing three (3) span bridge was constructed in the 1967, is approximately 82 feet in length and 32 feet 7 inches in width. Recent surveys indicate the existing bridge is lowering due to subsidence (over 23 inches since 1981) of the general area causing a loss of freeboard under the bridge and accumulation of debris at the upstream end of the bridge, causing a waterway restriction and potential for future immersion. Current bridge design accommodates construction of an approximate 92-foot-long, single-span steel bridge to be placed over the existing crossing. New foundation piles (30-inch diameter, ½ inch thick CISS piles) are to be installed within the top 30 feet by vibratory methods then use traditional impact driving once piles reach 30 feet below the pile cut off elevation. The bridge design also accommodates ongoing subsidence.
Heber Avenue Sidewalk Improvement
COUNTY OF IMPERIAL | IMPERIAL COUNTY, CA
Senior Project Geologist. Senior Geologist for completed geotechnical study that was to evaluate the subsurface soils conditions along Heber Avenue between 10th and Fawcett road for the proposed new sidewalks. Mitigation of expansive and corrosive soils were the main design issues.

Lake Drive Storm Drain Replacement
CITY OF ENCINITAS
Project Engineer. Mr. Grace is providing engineering design services for the project, which involves the replacement of approximately 2,000 feet of failed 48- inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with new reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) through an environmentally sensitive canyon area between Lake Drive and Interstate 5 (I-5). The existing system collects runoff from the surrounding developed area and conveys it down a steep slope through a natural canyon and west towards the I-5.
Design hydraulic analysis revealed the original pipe was significantly undersized, resulting in the failure of the system within the canyon. Due to the undersized pipe and downstream constraints, designing a new detention basin was necessary to attenuate the peak flows through the canyon. During the design period, due to significant and unusual regional rainfall events, a large sinkhole developed at the top of the project limits, eventually affecting a portion of Lake Drive and local utilities, prompting an emergency response by the City. NV5 worked closely with the City and the emergency construction crews to produce an emergency “interim” design to collect and convey the drainage. At the same time, the failed slope and adjacent roadway were reconstructed. The “interim” improvements were then incorporated into the final design condition.
Drainage Study Reviews

Ms. Asam is providing engineering design services for the Lake Drive Storm Drain Replacement Project, which involves the replacement of approximately 2,000 feet of failed 48-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with new reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) through an environmentally sensitive canyon area between Lake Drive and Interstate 5 (I-5). The existing system collects runoff from the surrounding developed area and conveys it down a steep slope through a natural canyon and west towards the I-5. Design hydraulic analysis revealed the original pipe was significantly undersized, resulting in the failure of the system within the canyon. Due to the undersized pipe and downstream constraints, designing a new detention basin was necessary to attenuate the peak flows through the canyon. During the design period, due to significant and unusual regional rainfall events, a large sinkhole developed at the top of the project limits, eventually affecting a portion of Lake Drive and local utilities, prompting an emergency response by the City. NV5 worked closely with the City and the emergency construction crews to produce an emergency “interim” design to collect and convey the drainage. At the same time, the failed slope and adjacent roadway were reconstructed. The “interim” improvements were then incorporated into the final design condition.

Project Experience
Foothill Boulevard, Verdugo Boulevard, and Angeles Crest Highway Landscape Median Replacement
LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE | LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA
Landscape Architect. Our team is providing engineering and landscape architectural design services for the project. The current median landscapes are a mixture of turf grass, shrub beds and street trees and are irrigated by permanent, automatic irrigation systems of varying ages and operational efficiencies. NV5 is tasked with replacing the turf grass areas with xeric, drought-tolerant plants and mulches that will require little to no irrigation once established, while preserving the existing street trees and newer irrigation systems.
Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility
VALLECITOS WATER DISTRICT | CARLSBAD, CA
Project Manager. Mr. Smyth led the effort to replace and/or restore the existing landscape and irrigation system on the Meadowlark Reclamation Facility. Our services included assessing the conditions of the existing hybrid ornamental and native landscaping, evaluating the performance of the automatic irrigation system, and solving slope erosion problems. NV5 proposed multiple conceptual designs that replace most of the existing landscape and irrigation with a native plant community that will unify the aesthetic and reduce water demand and update the irrigation system by converting from large rotor and spray heads to low-flow, pointsource micro-spray solutions. The slope erosion problems will be solved using a combination of bio-degradable bonded-fiber matrix, planting and seeding, and less irrigation.
Broadway Creek Restoration
CITY OF EL CAJON | EL CAJON, CA
Landscape Architect. As part of the design team, Mr. Smyth is providing planting and irrigation design for the Broadway Creek Restoration project in El Cajon. The majority of the existing creek is heavily degraded by erosion and overgrowth of invasive species, so the goal is to implement flood control improvements and habitat restoration. The project, which is located in a densely populated area of El Cajon, will be restored in two separate phases. Phase A will include a flat creek bottom with 1.5:1 side slopes that will be reinforced with concrete sub-structure and dense woody and herbaceous plant material to prevent future erosion. Due to a restricted channel width, Phase B will include vertical concrete retaining wall sides and a vegetated creek bottom.

This final invoice shall be reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement. (e) Upon written notice, City may suspend all or any portion of Consultant’s performance under this Agreement at its sole option and for its convenience for a reasonable period of time not to exceed six (6) months.

If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

PROJECT MANAGER
Ms. Lisa Battiato, CEG, APM, LEED AP, Regional Manager and Senior Geologist of Geocon, will be our project manager for this contract. Ms. Battiato has been managing Geocon’s on-call soils and materials testing contract with the City of Indio since 2014, and has over 28 years of experience working in the Coachella Valley. She will be responsible for the delivery of our services, correspondence with City staff and the project team, meeting attendance, and addressing engineering-related issues.

ABILITY TO MANAGE THE CONTRACT AND AVAILABILITY OF PERSONNEL
MANAGING CONTRACTS
QUALITY CONTROL
Ms. Battiato ensures quality through established procedures and a dedicated team. She performs regular checks as the project manager and ensures adherence to industry standards to maintain accuracy and reproducibility. In addition, Geocon’s quality assurance program provides accuracy and reproducibility acceptable to industry standards. We accomplish this through the application of experienced staff, ongoing staff training, calibration of testing apparatus by certified independent agencies, and periodic review of Geocon’s personnel and procedures by outside accredited testing and inspection agencies.
BUDGET CONTROL
We commit to transparency and avoid unexpected costs by maintaining open communication with clients. Our commitment to providing good customer service begins with each proposal; once a scope of work and price have been developed and agreed upon, we do not issue change orders, unless the scope of work or project schedule has been changed. In order to be as cost-effective as possible, construction inspection and testing services are performed by multi-certified inspectors whenever possible. This oftentimes eliminates the need for a second inspector on the same day and saves the project money.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Through proactive communication and milestone planning, Ms. Battiato prioritizes timely project completion. We prioritize scheduling with subcontractors, and efficient lab processes expedite report delivery, ensuring projects stay on track. Our staggered lab schedule generally completes lab work 15 to 20 percent faster than a typical lab.
Our Schedule control methods have allowed us to provide deliverables in a timely manner and have proven our ability to provide services for multiple, large-scale projects concurrently while adhering to project schedules.
AVAILABILITY OF PERSONNEL
Geocon concentrates on providing the highest level of customer service and quality in the most cost-effective manner. Over the years, we have built a solid reputation with our clients for efficiently solving complex issues. Our management style is hands-on with careful attention to detail, customer service, and client communication. Our staff is available to provide services on time, and we have proven our ability to provide services for multiple, largescale projects concurrently. We will work closely with the City and project design and construction teams to complete services in accordance with project schedules. Our project team will be one hundred percent available throughout the contract duration.
