SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES –

PALO VERDE AVENUE TEMPORARY PILOT PROJECT (QUICK-BUILD) (ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT, JUNE 13, 2023, UPDATED JUNE 11, 2024)
Dear Ms. Pickler,
As requested, Ardurra is pleased to present this letter proposal to the City of Lakewood to provide Traffic Engineering Services for the Palo Verde Avenue Pilot Project. This pilot project was identified in the Draft Neighborhood Traffic Calming report dated March 11, 2025, for the City of Lakewood.

The recommended traffic calming improvements identified in the Draft Neighborhood Traffic Calming Report for consideration on Palo Verde Avenue from Del Amo Boulevard to Carson Street include the following:
• Consider striped bulb-outs or traffic circles at Arbor Road, Centralia Street, and Harvey Way • Install vehicle speed feedback signs
• Install/upgrade high visibility warning and regulatory signs • Install leading pedestrian intervals (LPI’s) at Del Amo Boulevard • Installed yellow retroreflective backplates on signal heads at Del Amo Boulevard with HSIP project The striped bulb-outs or traffic circles with delineators can be implemented as a pilot project or temporary “Quick-Build“ project to be evaluated and tested prior to a full design and construction project of raised, landscaped bulb-outs. This proposal includes temporary striped bulb-outs or traffic circles with delineators at up to three intersections on Palo Verde Avenue.

In addition, the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street was identified for consideration of potential traffic calming improvements. The recommendations include: an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) for the intersection to determine the feasibility of a single lane roundabout with two lanes exiting on Palo Verde Avenue in both directions. For a single lane roundabout, the approach lanes on Palo Verde Avenue would need to transition to one lane approaching the roundabout and back to two lanes exiting the roundabout, which can provide a lane for the bus and bus stop. Candlewood Street would need to be reduced to two lanes (one lane in each direction) in this area for a potential roundabout improvement. This proposal includes a temporary lane reduction on Palo Verde Avenue and Candlewood Street for the temporary roundabout pilot project at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street.

3737 Birch Street, Suite 250 | Newport Beach, CA 92660 | 949.216.6833 | www.ardurra.com An intersection control evaluation and a temporary roundabout pilot project (temporary quick-build) as described above and identified in the Draft Neighborhood Traffic Calming report, with traffic engineering evaluation during the temporary installation, is proposed for the Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street intersection.

Our team of traffic engineering experts has years of experience designing and implementing traffic calming projects throughout the State of California. Our team is prepared to expedite these traffic engineering services for the timely implementation of a pilot project/temporary quick-build for Palo Verde Avenue.

ASSUMPTIONS
The scope is based on the following assumptions:
• Scope includes the design of a temporary roundabout with road diet at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street and design of temporary traffic calming improvements on Palo Verde Avenue from Del Amo Boulevard to Carson Street at up to three (3) intersections. • Scope includes the preparation of temporary striping plans with delineators, temporary roundabout design plans, and temporary materials/equipment specifications for the temporary traffic calming pilot project on Palo Verde Avenue from Del Amo Boulevard to Carson Street at up to 3 locations and temporary roundabout at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street. • Scope assumes that the temporary pilot project (quick-build) using temporary materials and traffic control equipment will be installed for a maximum duration of 30 days. • Scope assumes that the temporary pilot project does not include hardscape design or ADA improvements. • The design CAD basemap will be developed using scaled aerial imagery and field measurements. • The City will be responsible for the installation of the temporary pilot project/quick-build. • The City will be responsible for public outreach and appropriate public notification prior to the installation of the temporary pilot project.

SCOPE OF WORK

The following outline details how our team will approach this project:
• Project Kick-Off Meeting, Field Investigations, and Base Map Our team will schedule a project kick-off meeting with the City to review the project scope, expectations, and delivery schedule. At this meeting, we will request any “as-built” plans and any city-specific temporary material specifications, etc. In addition, we will discuss options for bulbouts and/or traffic circles on Palo Verde Avenue between Del Amo Boulevard to Carson Street to obtain City input into temporary design options.

Our team will conduct a field review and investigation of Palo Verde Avenue within the project limits, which will include an inventory of existing signage and striping, curb-to-curb measurements, and existing lane width measurements. The CAD basemaps will be prepared for Palo Verde Avenue within the project limits.

3737 Birch Street, Suite 250 | Newport Beach, CA 92660 | 949.216.6833 | www.ardurra.com • Intersection Control Evaluation
We will conduct an Intersection Control Evaluation for the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street to evaluate traffic operations and determine the feasibility of a single lane roundabout with two lanes exiting onto Palo Verde Avenue in both directions. Traffic counts will be collected during the weekday AM peak (7 to 9 AM) and PM peak (4 to 6 PM) periods at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street. The traffic engineering analysis will include traffic operations and capacity evaluation using Synchro.  Deliverables
We will present the findings and recommendations to the City in a “memo” format. Upon review and concurrence and/or comment from the City, the recommendations will be incorporated into the design of the temporary roundabout for this pilot project. • 60% Preliminary Design Submittal
After completing the existing basemap of the project, our team will immediately begin developing the 60% design plans concurrently with the intersection control evaluation. At the beginning of the 60% design, we will discuss recommendations for proposed lane configurations and associated temporary striping plans for Palo Verde Avenue in the project limits with City staff.  60% Deliverables
 60% Temporary Roundabout Design Plan at Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street (PDF) at 1” = 10’ scale, showing the pavement limits, curb to curb dimensions, and existing and proposed temporary pavement markings, delineators, and materials.  60% Signing & Striping Plans (PDF) at 1” = 40’ scale, showing the pavement limits, curb to curb dimensions, and existing and proposed temporary pavement markings and delineators needed for the temporary road diet and temporary roundabout design plan at Palo Verde Avenue at Candlewood Street.
 60% Temporary Bulbouts and/or Traffic Circle Design Plans (PDF) at up to 3 intersections at 1” = 10’ scale, showing the pavement limits, curb to curb dimensions, and existing and proposed temporary pavement markings, delineators, and materials.
 Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Temporary Installation Costs • City Review
We understand that City review times will vary. For schedule estimating purposes, we assume that the City will provide comments within 2 weeks of submitting the Intersection Control Evaluation Memo and the 60% design plans for temporary traffic calming improvements. • 100% Design Plans, Cost Estimate, and Material Specifications Submittal Since this is a temporary pilot project (quick-build) and we anticipate resolving design and material options at the 60% design stage, our team will move to 100% plans in lieu of a 90% and a 100% plan submittals. Immediately upon receiving City comments on the 60% design submittal, our team will address all comments and develop 100% Plans.

You must mark the one (and only one) checkbox above that best reflects how the Grantee’s indirect costs will be calculated and charged under the grant. Do not include indirect cost rate information for subrecipients.

The table following the third box must be completed only if that box is checked. When listing a rate in the table, enter both the percentage amount (e.g., 10%) and the type of direct cost base to be used. For example, if the direct cost base used for calculating indirect costs is Modified Total Direct Costs, then enter “MTDC” in the “Type of Direct Cost Base” column.

If using the Simplified Allocation Method for indirect costs, enter the applicable indirect cost rate and type of direct cost base in the first row of the table.

If using the Multiple Allocation Base Method, enter each major function of the organization for which a rate was developed and will be used under the grant, the indirect cost rate applicable to that major function, and the type of direct cost base to which the rate will be applied.

If the Grantee is a government and more than one agency or department will carry out activities under the grant, enter each agency or department that will carry out activities under the grant, the indirect cost rate(s) for that agency or department, and the type of direct cost base to which each rate will be applied. 13 FY 2024 COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING

NARRATIVE
These CPF Funds will be used to fund the costs associated with the interior construction.

Building improvements of the project to include ADA accessibility restroom, new flooring, paint, ceiling, lighting, doors, window treatments, acoustical wall treatments, hearing loops installation, interior signage, removal of existing indoor landscape, and improvements of private offices. Yes, the CPF funded project is part of a larger project. The City of Lakewood is not engaged in lobbying activities. The current space of the Weingart Senior Center is reaching capacity to meet the needs of the community. To maintain its current operating level, while improving holistic services available to the local senior population, the entire property of 13,300 square feet will be renovated. The larger project scope (of which these CPF funds are a budget line-item) includes repairs and alterations to an existing 13,408 square-foot community building. No new square footage is proposed.

Expected project outcomes include: • Relocation and renovation of existing billiard room and social services room (occupancy swap of the billiard room and the social services room). • Reconfiguration of fitness restrooms to meet accessible compliancy, new finishes, fixtures, painting, and trims per engineering plans. • Replacement of existing operable partitions. • Removal of existing indoor planter. • Replacement of existing doors and hardware (frames to remain). • Removal decorative wood trusses. • Replacement of all interior light fixtures to LED fixtures. • Upgrade of ADA accessible restrooms – this will mean a greater continuum of care for both daily visitors and staff. • New Hearing Loops – the installation of these devices will increase hearing access and facilitate communications between operational staff and daily visitors. This is critical for hazard mitigation in the event of a visitor’s health emergency or a natural disaster such as an earthquake that requires quick spread of information for timely evacuation. • (non-CPF funds) Addition of atrium skylight. • Replacement of existing plumbing fixtures at restrooms and drinking fountains. • Mechanical and electrical improvements for spaces reconfigured as required, and new HVAC units capable of destroying bacteria and viruses. • (non-CPF funds) Replace soft-scape and sidewalk lighting. • (non-CPF funds) Remove existing trees, planting replacement, and irrigation improvements. • (non-CPF funds) Replace the wallmounted non-illuminated exterior building signage on alley side of building. • (non-CPF funds) New accessible parking layout and a compliant path-of-travel from the new accessible parking to primary building entry. • Hazardous material testing and potential asbestos abatement, if applicable. • (non-CPF funds) The building may be re-roofed.

Project Name Weingart Senior Center Interior Renovations Project Purpose The City of Lakewood will perform interior renovations on the Weingart Senior Center. These are necessary as the senior center plays a vital role to the health of the community and opens its doors to 300 local residents daily. CPF funds are part of larger projects costs to cover building improvements, HVAC upgrades, and ADA accessibility. The Weingart Senior Center was built in 1981 and serves as a beacon for physical fitness, social interaction, congregate meals and social service support for older adults in Lakewood and surrounding communities. The facility which opens its doors to over 300 seniors daily is in need of a complete interior renovation. The CPF grant, along with other funding sources, will be used to remodel the senior center’s common areas, card room, game room, and congregate meal hall. The project would also include the creation of office space for human services 24 FY 2024 COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING
GRANT AGREEMENT NO. B-24-CP-CA-0092
agencies to provide assistance to seniors, the replacement of flooring with sustainable materials throughout the facility, HVAC improvements for and improvements in the building’s restrooms to address accessibility and minimizing the spread of illness. Project Timeline Program implementation is underway, however construction activities which will be covered by these CPF funds have NOT begun.
