For this project, we are proposing the following dedicated personnel:
Construction Manager: Sara Bekr, PE - NexGen CM
Lead Cost & Schedule Controller: Norm Lin - NexGen CM Public Outreach Specialist: Kimi Azari – NexGen CM
Assistant Project Manager: Gayle Krysta Villatema - NexGen CM Assistant Project Manager (Back up): Mona Hernandez – NexGen CM Field Inspector (Day Time): Andrew Squires - G3 Quality Inc Field Inspector (Night & Weekends): Michael Heil - G3 Quality Inc Field Inspector (Back up): Cody Martinez - G3 Quality Inc Labor Compliance Manager: Kenia Alvarez - Public Works Consultants Please refer to the “StaƯing & Organization chart” section for details on each individual's qualifications. 34 City of Laguna Beach | Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion Project NexGen Construction Management | A Laguna Beach Local PM/CM Firm Relevant Project Experience | Mrs. Bekr was the lead Project Manager on the City of Garden Grove Bicycle Corridor Improvement Project (BCIP), which delivered 15 miles of “complete streets” bicycle improvements across five major arterial corridors, that impacted driveways, storefront access, deliveries, and side street circulations as follows:
Chapman Ave (Valley View St–Beach Blvd) – NIGHT WORK - 6.35 miles
West St (Garden Grove Blvd–Orangewood Ave) – DAY WORK - 1.5 miles
Brookhurst St (Trask Ave–Katella Ave) – NIGHT WORK - 5 miles Gilbert St (Deodora Dr/Westminster Blvd) – DAY WORK - 1.5 miles Lampson Ave (Dale St–Haster) – NIGHT WORK - 6.35 miles The project focused on roadway rebalancing and restriping to implement new/updated bike lanes with buƯered thermoplastic striping, plus intersection detection upgrades (video detection and bike loops) and wayfinding signage, all delivered under a fast, high-public-impact construction window that included night & weekend work. The project required intensive stakeholder coordination to maintain safe mobility and access for adjacent businesses and residents while implementing improvements in live traƯic conditions on major commercial corridors.
Why is the BCIP project similar to the City of Laguna Beach Promenade on Forest Conversion Project? The Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion project is located on Forest Avenue between PCH and Glenneyre Street, in a very dense downtown commercial block. Like Mrs. Bekr’s BCIP project, it is a high-visibility public rightof-way project where Ms. Bekr successfully maintained access and minimized disruption to adjacent merchants, business owners, and the public by scheduling work at night.
On the BCIP project, Ms. Bekr executed complex, multidisciplinary street improvements, including demolition, hardscape, lighting, drainage, and other systems. She managed specialty coordination and commissioning for nonstandard elements similar to those in this project.
In summary, the BCIP and Promenade conversion are both community-facing “place + mobility” corridor projects implemented in active commercial settings, requiring tight schedule control, traƯic/pedestrian safety planning, and ongoing stakeholder communication, which Ms. Bekr has successfully managed on multiple occasions.
Specific Project Reference:
Alana Cheng – Economic Development & Housing Department - [email protected] – Direct: (714) 741-5998 What makes us the right partner?
NexGen served as Project Manager for the City of Garden Grove Bicycle Corridor Improvement Project, managing the design team and contractor through construction in active, high-traƯic corridors. The project was delivered on time and under budget, with full regulatory compliance and successful Caltrans inspections. This experience directly parallels the City of Laguna Beach’s Promenade on Forest project, which demands disciplined schedule control, stakeholder coordination in a dense commercial setting, and oversight of complex public-realm improvements. Our proven ability to manage high-visibility infrastructure projects while minimizing business and public impacts positions NexGen Construction Management as a trusted partner for successful delivery. 35 City of Laguna Beach | Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion Project NexGen Construction Management | A Laguna Beach Local PM/CM Firm Relevant Project Experience | Mrs. Bekr was the lead Construction Manager on the Caltrans Fencing Improvement Project (CFIP), which was a public right-of-way improvement project focused on the installation and replacement of Caltrans-compliant safety fencing, decorative paving, gravel, rip rap and landscaping (vines & palm trees) within active transportation corridors, in residential and commercial zones across the City of Westminster and the City of Garden Grove.
The project required strict adherence to Caltrans standards and inspection protocols, coordination with regulatory agencies, and careful sequencing of work in live-traƯic and pedestrian environments, including schools, car dealerships, grocery stores, Costco, restaurants, and other commercial facilities. Construction activities were executed adjacent to developed urban land uses, requiring ongoing coordination to maintain safety, access, and public convenience. The project was successfully delivered in compliance with all applicable Caltrans requirements, with inspections passed and no disruption to surrounding community operations. Some of the areas are mentioned below (but not limited to):
Pearce Pedestrian Bridge: North & South of the Pearce Pedestrian Bridge, along the 22 Freeway, west of Wintersburg Channel.
Beach Blvd – Freeway 22: North side of the Beach Blvd entry ramp, heading westbound onto the 22 Freeway. Trask Ave – Freeway 22: North and South side of the 22 Freeway, at Trask Avenue, between Newhope Street and Harbor Blvd.
Why is the CFIP project similar to the City of Laguna Beach Promenade on Forest Conversion Project? The Caltrans Fencing Improvement Project (CFIP) is highly comparable to the City of Laguna Beach’s Promenade on Forest project in both delivery complexity and
execution environment. CFIP required construction
management oversight within an active public rightof-way, strict adherence to Caltrans standards and inspection protocols, and continuous coordination to
maintain public safety and access adjacent to
developed urban uses. Similarly, the Promenade on
Forest project involves construction in a constrained
downtown corridor, integration of Caltrans-standard
elements, and heightened coordination with businesses, residents, and regulatory agencies. In both projects, NexGen will manage disciplined schedule control, proactive issue resolution, and meticulous documentation— core competencies demonstrated through the successful delivery of all projects.

Eric Dickson – Caltrans Project Manager - [email protected] – Direct: (657) 328-6201 Eric Corona – Caltrans Program Manager - [email protected] – Direct: (949) 279-9092 What makes us the right partner?
NexGen served as Construction Manager for the Caltrans Fencing Improvement Project (CFIP), providing comprehensive oversight of contractor activities in an active public right-of-way and ensuring full compliance with Caltrans requirements. Our Construction Manager brings expert knowledge of construction management practices and techniques, including construction scheduling; change order analysis and negotiation; shop drawing and material submittal review; RFI management; progress payment review and approval; and preparation of detailed construction progress reports, as required under Section IV of this RFP. This direct experience managing regulated, high-visibility public infrastructure projects positions us as a capable and reliable partner for the successful delivery of the Promenade on Forest project.
36 City of Laguna Beach | Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion Project NexGen Construction Management | A Laguna Beach Local PM/CM Firm Relevant Project Experience | Mr. Squires was the field inspector on the Walnut Park project with the LA County Public Works Department, which is similar to this project: a 7.1-mile corridor rehabilitation spanning multiple residential and commercial neighborhoods in Walnut Park. Improvements included roadway reconstruction, cold milling, pavement replacement, new asphalt paving, new concrete, cement-stabilized pulverized base, concrete curb, gutter, sidewalks, and ADA-compliant ramps.
We are the right partner for the City of Laguna Beach because Mr. Squires provided inspection services with a focus on maintaining safe pedestrian routes and coordinating access for residents and neighborhood businesses throughout the multi-street construction sequence.
Relevant Project Experience | The City of Cypress Arterial Street Rehabilitation Project was a vital initiative to enhance the safety, functionality, and longevity of key arterial roadways within the city. The project focused on improving the condition of heavily traƯicked streets, including Valley View Street and Moody Street, through comprehensive pavement rehabilitation measures. Key activities included a 2-inch full-width grind of the existing pavement, followed by an Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) overlay to restore surface quality and improve durability.
Andrew Squires delivered comprehensive Inspection services to support the project.
Kevin Chin – Associate Engineer – [email protected] – Direct: (714)229-6759 Relevant Project Experience | The Community Center Courtyard (West) project encompasses approximately one acre between City Hall and the Carson Event Center and is designed to convert the existing open landscaped area into a flexible outdoor space for public and private events. Key features include grading part of a mound to install a 1,000-square-foot stage with an adjacent audience area, a pergola next to Hall A, and an expanded courtyard outside Room 107 featuring a lit waterfall, landscaping, and a matching pergola. The site will be enhanced with new lighting, decorative paving, and updated landscaping. The east parking lot will also be reconfigured by removing a planter to create a usable space without aƯecting parking capacity.
We are the right partner for the City of Laguna Beach because Andrew provided inspection services within this highly visited civic complex, supporting staged construction while maintaining clear access to event spaces, parking areas, and public walkways.
Relevant Project Experience | provided construction inspection and materials testing for the City of Inglewood’s Century Boulevard Mobility Improvements project, a major arterial rehabilitation between Inglewood Avenue and Doty Avenue. Work included full-depth roadway reconstruction incorporating CSPB, Class 2 Aggregate Subbase, CMB, HMA, and PCC, constructed in accordance with the 2012 Greenbook and 2010 Caltrans standards. G3 verified material placement, performed compaction and density testing, sampled and tested base, HMA, and PCC, and supported quality documentation. Through close coordination with the contractor and City staƯ, the team helped deliver a durable, high-traƯic urban corridor that met all performance requirements.
We are the right partner for the City of Laguna Beach because Andrew provided inspection services along this heavily traveled commercial corridor, helping maintain business access, pedestrian circulation, and safe work zones.
What makes us the right partner?
We are the right partner for the City of Laguna Beach because our inspector, Mr Squires, successfully performed field inspection and testing on high-volume arterial streets, helping manage traƯic control and pedestrian routing around active roadway and frontage improvements.

QUALITY CONTROL APPROACH
55 City of Laguna Beach | Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion Project NexGen Construction Management | A Laguna Beach Local PM/CM Firm Quality control is fully integrated into NexGen’s overall project delivery approach and is implemented continuously throughout construction. Our process is designed to proactively identify issues, maintain full compliance with the Contract Documents, and ensure that all construction management and inspection deliverables are accurate, complete, and free of errors or omissions.
Integrated Field Quality Control
Quality control begins in the field with a structured, daily inspection workflow. Each workday starts with coordination between NexGen’s Inspector, the Construction Manager, the Contractor, and the City’s representative to review planned activities, confirm inspection priorities, and identify potential risks or specialty coordination needs. This daily alignment ensures that inspection coverage is appropriate for the work being performed and that quality expectations are clearly understood.
The Inspector provides continuous field inspection to verify materials, workmanship, installation methods, traƯic control, safety measures, and environmental compliance. Field activities are documented in real time using standardized electronic inspection reports, photographs, and checklists.
This approach ensures clear documentation, consistency across reporting, and immediate visibility into construction progress and quality.
Material sampling and field testing are performed in accordance with project specifications and required testing frequencies. Samples are coordinated with accredited laboratories for independent testing. The material testing will be scheduled and coordinated by NexGen, and the testings will be performed by a vendor directly hired by the City (another RFP). Inspection observations—including compaction results, concrete and asphalt properties, placement methods, specialty installations, and commissioningrelated activities—are reviewed by both the NexGen CM and the inspector, as work progresses, allowing non-conforming conditions to be identified and addressed immediately.
Oversight, Verification, and Error Prevention
NexGen’s quality control process includes multiple levels of review to ensure accuracy and prevent omissions:
Construction Manager Oversight: Daily inspection reports, test results, photographs, quantity measurements, and logs are reviewed by the Construction Manager for completeness, accuracy, and consistency with the Contract Documents.
Standardized Digital Documentation: NexGen utilizes structured electronic reporting systems and standardized templates to maintain uniform documentation, reduce transcription errors, and ensure traceable project records.
Independent Materials Testing: All materials testing is performed by accredited laboratories, providing independent verification of compliance. Test reports clearly identify test methods, locations, specification criteria, results, and required corrective actions. We believe the City is hiring another firm to take the samples and test the material, with our responsibility to coordinate such eƯorts, review the results, and enforce compliance and corrections when needed. Internal QA/QC Procedures: NexGen applies internal quality assurance procedures, including peer reviews, specification cross-checks, and periodic audits, to confirm that inspection records and reports meet project and City standards.
Continuous Communication and Feedback: Quality observations are communicated in real time to the City and Contractor. NexGen will communicate any identified issue to the contractor, request immediate corrective action, and follow up with verification to confirm resolution. All 56 City of Laguna Beach | Promenade on Forest Permanent Conversion Project NexGen Construction Management | A Laguna Beach Local PM/CM Firm problems will be documented in an “Issues Log,” which will be reviewed and tracked until completion.
Deliverable Quality and Project Outcomes
This integrated quality control approach ensures that inspection documentation, testing records, pay quantities, and construction reports are complete, accurate, and defensible. By embedding quality control into daily field operations and management oversight, G3 minimizes rework, reduces schedule impacts, and provides the City with reliable documentation that supports informed decision-making from construction start through final project closeout. "NexGen provides continuous, full-time inspection and proactive quality assurance to ensure the Contractor’s work consistently conforms to the Plans, Specifications, City Standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
Our inspectors thoroughly document daily construction activities, material testing, workmanship, safety, and schedule performance using detailed reports, photographs, and standardized electronic logs.
Construction Manager oversight and internal QA/QC reviews ensure that inspection records are complete, accurate, and defensible, and that issues are identified early and corrective actions are implemented without delay. This disciplined and comprehensive approach supports effective contractor oversight, minimizes rework and schedule impacts, and delivers reliable documentation that protects the City’s interests throughout construction and closeout.
