CONSTRUCTION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

SERVICES
The DRP Team is confident in our ability to provide all services associated with Construction and Project Management Services, as outlined in the scope of work, as it aligns perfectly with our team’s experience.

PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
DRP has an experienced construction management team, whom will be led by Saik-Choon Poh. As part of construction management services, our team will coordinate as needed with contractors, surveyors, IWA staff, and Project Manager, along with associated sub-consultant/subcontractors for material testing, water sampling and other construction testing activities.

In addition, DRP will communicate and coordinate with stakeholders, as needed, to adhere to permitting requirements. DRP will also attend and assist in progress and scheduled meetings through the preparation of meeting minutes, recording and distribution of meeting summaries.

DOCUMENT CONTROL provides a well-organized system for document receipt, handling, and tracking, and is critical to the success of a project.

DRP’s approach is based on the understanding that information must be quickly retrievable to be useful, and therefore we implement an organized system of files and indexes. This system creates an inventory by-product, which is made part of our turnover procedures at the end of the project when IWA receives the project records. We will use any of the the IWA’s standard forms for documentation. For any forms not covered by the IWA’s standards, DRP has developed a comprehensive library of standard forms and database templates to be used in the course of construction administration. Strict adherence to the use of and timely filing of these forms improves the overall administration of a project by allowing internal review of daily activities by the Construction Manager/Resident Engineer.

LABOR COMPLIANCE Our team understands that the scope of work may include the review of certified payrolls and approvals for labor compliance in accordance with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)’s established prevailing wage rates. Per the specifications, contractors are to submit a copy of all certified payroll on a weekly basis and our team will review the wage rates againstclassifications to determine if they adhere to the DIR wage rates. As part of the certified payroll, the prime contractor will also need to provide copies of subcontractor payroll for wage compliance review. Review of prevailing wage will conform to California Labor Codes 1810 to 1815 regarding working hours. Our team will provide IWA with the review with every monthly payment or pay application request. In addition, our inspector will conduct frequent or weekly interviews of contractor staff on site, to inquire about their wage rates to determine compliance with prevailing wages outlined by DIR.

Professional services agreements with West Yost Associates, TKE Engineer... Page 195 of 574 so that costs are minimized, impacts to the schedule are controlled, and quality is not compromised.

All changes and amends to the contract must be approved by IWA. DRP will provide support through the process including determining the validity of the change, documenting the change and listing the reasons for it through a change request, preparing or receiving estimates for the work, and analyzing the contractor’s proposal versus estimate, and preparing a negotiation plan. DRP will track, record, and document the changes and any negotiations.

SUBMITTAL MANAGEMENT involves coordination of the list of submittals with the design team and the development of a submittal tracking procedure and report. The report provides a convenient method of tracking submittals from their scheduled date through completion. The submittal process requires a quality review by both the contractor and the engineer reviewing the shop drawings.

If needed, the DRP team will review submittals when first made and meet with the contractor and the engineer to determine all the requirements of a quality submittal. With prior experience as design engineers, we understand the requirements of the highly technical submittals that will be part of any project and have the best team to ensure each submittal is thoroughly and efficiently reviewed.

Through regular monitoring of the contractor’s as-built record maintenance, we can assure the final drawings will represent the work accomplished.

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFIs) are questions written by contractors and delivered to the Construction Manager/Resident Engineer, who reviews and responds quickly to mitigate lag time in project schedule.

PAYMENT ESTIMATE VERIFICATION is achieved by keeping a schedule of values listing all activities and assigned dollar resources, which once approved become the basis for payment.

REVIEW OF SHOP DRAWINGS duties will at the minimum involves:
• Preparation of a shop drawing submittal schedule
• Review all construction shop drawings, fabrication and mill testing of equipment and materials for complete and strict conformance with the contract plans, specifications and documents. • Revise and update shop drawing schedule as required due to changes during a Project’s duration
• Evaluate deviations or substitutions submitted by the contractor to be equal to or of better quality than specified in the contract documents.
• Provide recommendations and review all deviations or substitutions with the City staff and receive the City’s concurrence prior to approving any substitution.

CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH IWA’S STAFF
DRP’s Construction Inspector will regularly communicate with IWA’s staff and respective Project Manager to facilitate proper planning, supervision, and inspection of ongoing construction activities. Daily communication will focus on Construction progress, Specialty inspection needs, Notification of discrepancies, Schedule, and Daily activity reports at a minimum.

CHANGE ORDER CONTROL
Even with the best design, management, and construction team, changes can occur. DRP has designed change control procedures

PAYMENT ESTIMATE VERIFICATION
The DRP team will keep a schedule of value,
listing all activities and assign their respective
dollar resources which serves as the basis of
payment. Field inspector will catalog project
progress and construction activities that have
been completed to frequency track the payment
estimate.

PROJECT TESTING/START-UP OPERATIONS
The development and implementation of an
effective testing/startup and operations program
is necessary to the successful completion of any
project. DRP provides an efficient and methodical
process to startup and commission any project
issued by IWA. Of particular importance is the
scheduling and duration of facility shutdowns.

The Start-Up Plan should be scheduled to
coordinate with final construction activities and
the date of facility activation. Other activities that
should occur during this phase include
establishing goals and quality assurance
practices; developing and initiating specific
start-up tasks with completion dates; planning
and execution of performance tests and
inspections; developing an instruction manual;
and emergency operations training, if necessary.

The Operations staff’s level of interaction with
respect to the facility will increase significantly
during this phase to ensure a smooth transition
from construction into operation. DRP will
document the startup activities on a daily basis
and disseminate the information immediately to
the construction team. In addition, DRP will
maintain a record of all deficiencies observed
during testing and resolve outstanding issues
prior to the performance of the next stage(s) of
the startup and commissioning activities. DRP will
work closely with IWA and their operation team
during the construction/commissioning to achieve
the desired project start-up.

PROJECT CLOSE-OUT of each project must be
carefully planned and managed to ensure IWA
receives a complete project. DRP has implemented
the following procedures for effective completion,
transfer, and closeout:

The Completion Plan acknowledges that the
last part of the project is often the most difficult
to complete. The plan includes a thorough review
of all incomplete tasks, all required remedial work,
and any additional tasks required for a complete,
operational facility.

The Acceptance Plan is activated according
to the completion plan and includes the review
of all contract documents to ensure all
construction work is in compliance with the
approved plans. When the contractor indicates
the work is complete, a preliminary inspection
is scheduled and all RFIs, NCRs, and submittal
reports are reviewed. A formal site walk-through
is scheduled, and a final punch list is developed.

When all punch list activities are completed and
accepted, a final walk-through is conducted.

Upon successful completion of the final
walk-through, the Construction Manager
prepares the final completion certificates.

The proposed water main extends approximately 4,500 linear feet along Avenue 44, beginning near the intersection of Avenue 44 and Beringer Drive and terminating near the intersection of Avenue 44 and Terra Lago Parkway. Because the new pipeline connects two distinct pressure zones, a new PRS is included within IWA’s existing facility at the intersection of Avenue 44 and Aquila Street. The project also includes the design of valves, pipeline appurtenances, and connections to existing water mains. DRP prepared the Project Design Report (PDR) and preliminary design drawings evaluating multiple alignment and PRS configuration options for the proposed 18-inch water main. The pipeline is designed using cement mortar–lined AWWA ductile iron pipe, selected for its strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for high-pressure potable water systems. A key design element of the project is the crossing of Wasteway Number Three Channel. Due to limited bridge capacity and existing attached utilities, DRP recommended an above-ground, self-supported crossing. The water main will cross the channel within a 30-inch steel casing supported by piers on both sides of the channel, similar to an existing casing installation located north of the project site at Terra Lago Parkway.

Authority shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct.

SECTION 16A. INDEMNIFICATION. (NON-DESIGN PROFESSIONALS) INDEMNIFICATION BY CONSULTANT. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Authority) and hold harmless Authority and any and all of its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, representatives, volunteers and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, cost and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, caused in whole or in part by the negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, its officers, agents, employees or subconsultants (or any agency or individual that Consultant shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless Authority shall not extend to the Authority’s sole or active negligence or willful misconduct.

DUTY TO DEFEND. In the event the Indemnified Parties, individually or collectively, are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from the performance of the services encompassed by this Agreement, and upon demand by Authority, Consultant shall defend the Indemnified Parties at Consultant’s cost or at Authority’s option, to reimburse Authority for its costs of defense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the defense of such matters to the extent the matters arise from, relate to or are caused by Consultant’s negligent acts, errors or omissions. Payment by Authority is not a condition precent to enforcement of this provision.

In the event of any dispute between Consultant and Authority, as to whether liability arises from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of Authority or its officers, employee, or agents, Consultant will be obligated to pay for Authority’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the Indemnified Parties as solely or actively negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct. Consultant shall not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees, and costs of litigation.

SECTION 16B. INDEMNIFICATION. (DESIGN PROFESSIONALS)

10 | P a g e
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant
Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by Agency in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.

Consultant’s percentage of fault, for both indemnity and defense, shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the Consultant’s percentage of fault, and the parties cannot mutually agree on Consultant’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a neutral third-party to determine the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnify and defense cost reimbursement owed to the Authority.

APPLICABLE TO ALL CONSULTANTS:

PROMPT PAYMENT OF JUDGEMENT. Consultant shall promptly pay any judgment rendered against Authority or any Authority Personnel for any such claims or liabilities incurred due to Consultant’s.

CLAIMS. Any claim by Consultant against Authority hereunder shall be subject to Government Code §§ 800 et seq.

All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by Authority as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the Executive Director. Consultant agrees to provide Authority with copies of required policies upon request.

INSURANCE DOES NOT EXCUSE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION. Consultant’s obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant or Indemnitees. This indemnification obligation shall survive this Agreement and shall not be limited by any term of any insurance policy required under this Agreement.

NONWAIVER OF RIGHTS. Indemnitees do not and shall not waive any rights that they may possess against Consultant on the basis of acceptance by Authority, or the deposit with Authority, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

WAIVER OF RIGHT OF SUBROGATION. Consultant, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees.

SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT. The expertise and experience of Consultant are material considerations for this Agreement. Authority has an interest in the qualifications and capability of the persons and entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Consultant under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Consultant shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement, the performance of any of Consultant’s duties or obligations under this Agreement nor any monies due under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Authority, which may be given in the sole and absolute discretion of the Executive Director.

(e)Upon written notice, Authority 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. Authority will pay to Consultant a sum equivalent to the reasonable value of the services satisfactorily provided up to the date of suspension. Authority 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.

Consultant will be entitled to an extension of time to complete performance under this Agreement equal to the length of the suspension unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

SECTION 21. DEFAULT. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the Authority shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the Authority may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is thirty (30) days, which may be extended or reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the Authority shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on approved invoices. In the alternative, the Authority may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the Authority may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the Authority to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the Authority’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

Air strippers were selected for removal of VOCs and a series of parallel liquid phase granular activated carbon (GAC) vessels downstream of the air strippers were used to further remove 1,2,3-TCP. Stetson designed the GAC system with the option for lead-lag (series) configuration in the event additional carbon beds would be necessary. In July 2007, DDW approved the parallel GAC configuration for treatment
