PREPARED BY: Yvette Palomo, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: Los Angeles County West Vector Control District Trustee Appointment

BACKGROUND
Since 1944, the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District (LACWVCD) has conducted programs for the surveillance, prevention, abatement and control of mosquitos and other vectors which carry diseases such as St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus, Lyme Disease and Dengue hemorrhagic fever. Lawndale is part of the district, along with unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County, a portion of Los Angeles City, and twenty-two other cities. The LACWVCD is governed by a Board of Trustees. Each of the cities and the county that comprise the district is entitled to have one Trustee represent its specific interests. The term of Lawndale’s last appointed Trustee will end on December 31, 2025.

STAFF REVIEW
To qualify for appointment as a Trustee, a person must be a resident and an elector of the City. Only one Trustee can be appointed. California Mosquito Abatement and Vector Control District law does not provide for alternate representatives.

The most recently appointed Trustee is Mayor Pro Tem Pat Kearney. Regulations allow for additional terms to last either two years or four years if a Trustee has served a previous term. Once appointed, a Trustee cannot be removed from office by the City Council. The appointee will serve until the term expires unless he or she resigns or cannot physically continue to serve. According to district staff, cities customarily choose to re-appoint a Trustee for two two-year terms.

Once appointed, the Trustee will attend six regular board meetings each year on the second Thursday of the month in Culver City. The Trustee will receive a $100 stipend for each meeting attended. The Trustee will be required to file an annual Statement of Economic Interest (Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700) with the LACWVCD while in office. A newly appointed Trustee will also be required to file an assuming office Form 700 within 30 days of attending their first meeting.

In addition, California Code of Regulations Section 18702.5 requires the City to identify on its website the appointed position, the salary or stipend, the name of the Trustee, and the term of the position.

The Mayor is recommending that the City Council appoint Mayor Pro Tem Pat Kearney to serve a term of two years. If a new Trustee is appointed other than the Councilmember recommended, the term must be two years.

The term for this appointment starts on January 1, 2026, and ends on December 31, 2027.

In anticipation that the Mayor would make the appointment and that the City Council would approve the appointment, staff has prepared Resolution No. CC-2511-054 for your consideration.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed Resolution No. CC-2511-054 and has approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1.) the Mayor appoint a Trustee to the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District; 2.) the City Council confirm the appointment by directing staff to amend Section 1 of Resolution No. CC-2511-054 by inserting the name of the appointee; and 3.) the City Council adopt the resolution as amended.

Its all-electric fleet serves riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and Atlanta. It also has a presence in Miami, Washington D.C., Dallas, Denver, Seattle, London, Nashville and Tokyo. It serves communities that surround LAX and Long Beach Airport. Before coming to a new area, the company invests in electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support its fleet.

DATE: November 3, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean M. Moore, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Yvette Palomo, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Dates for Calendar Year 2026

BACKGROUND
The City Council has in the past expressed an option to cancel City Council meetings that are close to or occur on City observed holidays and for which no pressing business is anticipated. In addition, advance approval of the cancellation or rescheduling of City Council meetings allows the City Council, the public and staff to adequately plan and schedule agenda items for future meeting dates.

Staff has reviewed the 2026 calendar of City Council meeting dates and would like to request City Council's consideration to cancel and possibly reschedule three meetings.

STAFF REVIEW
In 2026, the following City Council meeting dates occur on City observed holidays and they will need to be canceled with the City Council’s approval:

Monday, January 19, 2026, Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Monday, February 16, 2026, Presidents' Day
Monday, September 7, 2026, Labor Day
The City Council may wish to consider rescheduling some, or all, of the above-referenced meetings to the immediately following day.

A review of the upcoming agenda items by staff found no pressing agenda items for the meetings listed above. At this time, canceling the meetings will not present any impact to operations or City business. If canceled, staff would ensure that necessary business is addressed at meetings prior to or following the canceled meeting(s) and plan accordingly. If unforeseen urgent business needs to be addressed, a special meeting could always be called if the City Council does decide to cancel one or more of the scheduled meetings.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings on January 19, 2026; February 16, 2026; and September 7, 2026, due to City-observed holidays; or

2. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings on January 19, 2026; February 16, 2026; September 7, 2026; and reschedule some, or all, of the meetings to the immediately following day; or

3. Provide the City Manager and staff with alternative direction.

PREPARED BY: Raylette Felton, Deputy City Manager/Director of Human Resources SUBJECT: First Amendment to Special Counsel Agreement with Aleshire and Wynder, LLC

BACKGROUND
In February 2023, City Council approved a legal services agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLC, to provide specialized litigation and legal advisory services to the City, as needed, and when required services conflict with the City Attorney’s Office. Based upon the City’s continuous need for special counsel to assist with the potential litigation and legal matters related to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) C Line (Green) Extension Transit Project matters, staff is recommending the approval of the first amendment for contract services agreement for legal services agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLC.

STAFF REVIEW
The City entered into a contract services agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLC (A&W), on February 6, 2023, to provide specialized litigation and legal services on an as needed basis. During this time, A&W has provided the City with legal services in connection with the Metro C Line (Green Line) Extension Transit Project. The agreement with A&W is set to expire in December 2025. Given the uncertainty and complexities associated with this project and the need to facilitate continued legal support, it is necessary to amend the agreement.

Over the contract period, the primary and assistant litigator assigned to the City changed and an annual hourly rate adjustment of 3% was applied for 2024 and 2025. This first amendment to the contract service agreement will extend the contract through December 31, 2028, reflecting the changes in special counsel assigned to the City as well as include an increase in the hourly rate for the special counsel and assistant litigators effective January 2026. The amendment would also include an automatic five (5) percent annual rate increase. over the next two years, beginning in 2027.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the contract amendment and has approved as to form and legality.

FISCAL IMPACT
The hourly rate for partner as of January 2026 is $385, senior associate is $270, associate is $270, law clerks is $195, paralegals is $185 and document clerks is $105. No budget amendment is needed at this time as the FY 25/26 budget already has $110,000 allocated for this purpose.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council to approve the first amendment to the Contract Services Agreement for Special Counsel Legal Services with Aleshire & Wynder, LLC, in a form approved by the City Attorney’s Office.

SUBJECT: Award of On-Call Traffic Engineering Service Contracts

BACKGROUND
The City has various needs for traffic engineering services, ranging from requests from the general public and Sheriff Department to design need for Capital Improvement projects, all of which require the expert services of a traffic engineer to review, design and provide recommendations. The most efficient way to obtain the services in a timely manner is by the creation of a bench of firms available to the City on an oncall contract. The agreements for the previous bench of on-call Traffic Engineering Services the City have expired. Therefore, a new Request For Qualifications was prepared and advertised in order to have the Traffic Engineering services available to the City. Having an on-call bench of consultants saves time and staff resources for completing tasks.

STAFF REVIEW
On September 10, 2025, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and received nine (9) responses from Traffic Engineering firms by the submission deadline of October 1, 2025. Proposal reviews were based on many factors including approach and methods, relevant experience and expertise, and billing rates.

The proposals received were reviewed by a team of Public Works staff. All firms were technically qualified to provide traffic engineering services and have experience working with other public agencies. The firms that submitted proposals are listed below.

1. General Technologies and Solutions, Inc. (GTS)

2. Interwest Consulting Group, Inc.

3. W.G. Zimmerman Engineering, Inc.

4. Transtech

5. Dudek

6. Hartzog & Crabill, Inc.

7. Willdan Engineering

8. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

9. LIN Consulting, Inc.

Based on the reviews, staff recommends General Technologies and Solutions, Inc. (GTS), Hartzog & Crabill, Inc.; and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to be the the firms for the on-call Traffic Engineering Services contracts. In order to maintain a fair process when issuing task orders for service, the three firms will be contacted to provide a quote, and all finance and purchasing policies will be followed for issuing the task orders. That is, if a task order is over the City Manager's signing authority, it will come to City Council for approval.

Staff recommends the term of the agreements to be three (3) years with options to extend the agreements for an additional two years. Five year terms for benches and panels are commonly used in the professional world; longer terms are not preferred as they can result in agency staff not ensuring the best quality of work due to too much familiarity with a few consultants.

Some of the services that will be available from the Traffic Engineering on-call bench are:

Traffic Studies
Signing and striping design
Worksite traffic control design
Traffic calming design
Parking studies
School-related operations analysis
Plan review services
Traffic signal timing sheet reviews
Engineering and traffic surveys

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance. The general liability policy shall name the City, its officers, employees and agents ("City Parties") as additional insureds and shall waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City and the City's Parties and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.

All of said policies of insurance shall also provide that said insurance may be not cancelled without providing ten (10) days prior written notice by registered mail to the City.

No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until Consultant has provided City with Certificates of Insurance or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by City.

Consultant agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Consultant is otherwise responsible. If the Consultant’s insurance policies have higher limits and coverage than those required by this contract, the City will have access to those higher limits and coverage maintained by the Consultant.

The insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide or The Key Rating Guide, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City due to unique circumstances.

In the event that the Consultant is authorized to subcontract any portion of the work or services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain pursuant to this Section 5.1.

5.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnity for Design Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant's services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for the statutory limits set forth under California Civil Code Section 2782,8 applicable to services provided by a “design professional”, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and the City's Parties from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including Attachment 1
General Technologies and Solutions, Inc.
6 LA #4828-2252-8997 v1
attorneys' fees and costs to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, its officers, employees of subcontractors (or any entity or individual for which Consultant shall bear legal liability) in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.
(b) Indemnity for Other Than Design Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of design professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and City's Parties from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys' fees and costs, court costs, defense costs and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, employees or subcontractors of Consultant.

6.0 RECORDS AND REPORTS

6.1 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require.

6.2 Records. Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such books and records as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required.

6.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents and other materials prepared by Consultant, its employees, and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership of such documents and materials. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use and Consultant shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Except as necessary for the performance of services under this Agreement, no documents prepared under this Agreement may be released by Contractor to any other person or entity without City’s prior written approval. Consultant warrants that all Documents it drafts and completes pursuant to this Agreement constitute original work. Specifically, Consultant understands and agrees that use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools including, without limitation, ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing Chat, Google’s Bard, and Meta’s LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), in the performance of this Agreement does not constitute an original work, i.e., submitting Documents generated by such AI tools to City and representing it as Consultant’s original work constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, constitutes a false claim, and may also violate applicable intellectual property right laws including, without limitation, United States Copyright Law. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement as to ownership, City specifically rejects ownership of such Documents. Consultant Attachment 1
General Technologies and Solutions, Inc.
7 LA #4828-2252-8997 v1
is required to indemnify and defend City to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law should it violate this Section.

6.4 Confidentiality of Information. All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement will be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor may not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the City Manager, except as may be required by law. Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents, may not, without prior written authorization from the City Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney of City, voluntarily provide declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the services performed under this Agreement.

Response to a subpoena or court order will not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. If Contractor, or any officer, employee, or agent of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City will have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. Contractor must promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents 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 services performed under this Agreement. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor.

However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite such response. All media and press releases, including graphic display information, must be approved and distributed solely by City, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by City. All media interviews regarding the performance of services under this Agreement are prohibited unless expressly authorized by City.

7.0 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.

Attachment 1
General Technologies and Solutions, Inc.
8 LA #4828-2252-8997 v1

7.3 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all work or services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation and City shall be entitled to reimbursement for any compensation paid in excess of the services rendered.

7.5 Completion of Work After Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.6 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the matter proceeds to judgment, and to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, including all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

8.0 CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION

8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.

8.2 Conflict of Interest; City. No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation.

8.3 Conflict of Interest; Consultant. Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.

Consultant shall comply with all conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, City's Conflict of Interest Code which is on file in the City Clerk's office. Accordingly, should the City Manager determine that Consultant will be performing a specialized or general service for the City and Attachment 1
General Technologies and Solutions, Inc.
9 LA #4828-2252-8997 v1
there is substantial likelihood that the Consultant's work product will be presented, either written or orally, for the purpose of influencing a governmental decision, the Consultant and its officers, or employees, as applicable, shall be subject to the City's Conflict of Interest Code.

8.4 Covenant Against Discrimination. Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry.

Lawndale 147th Street Traffic Calming Study
GTS carried out a traffic calming study for 147th
Street, a neighborhood street in the City of Lawndale
that includes single- and multi-family residences,
an elementary school, and a library. Residents had
reported high traffic speeds and drivers not stopping at stop signs. GTS carried out speed and traffic volume
measurements along with an assessment of driver
compliance at stop signs based on analysis of traffic
camera footage. This allowed for the development of
a range of short-term and long-term recommended
traffic calming measures, offering multiple alternatives (for example, comparing the advantages and
disadvantages of traffic circles versus curb extensions at the intersections) and including recommendations for temporary, tactical installations of some traffic calming measures (such as curb extensions, speed humps,
and traffic circles) using readily available materials
in order to test the effectiveness prior to permanent
installation. Cross-sections for roadway restriping were also included. In addition to engineering measures,
recommendations for targeted enforcement and driver
education were also included.

Work Plan / Typical Task Orders
The following sections describe typical task orders
carried out as part of on-call contracts, illustrating
GTS’s approach and work plan.

Traffic Studies
GTS regularly prepares and reviews Transportation
Impact Studies (TIS), Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
analyses, and corridor-level traffic studies. Our process begins with field observations and data collection,
including turning movement counts, 24-hour volumes,
and multimodal classifications. Using Synchro and
SimTraffic models, we evaluate existing conditions,
test alternatives, and develop recommendations that
minimize congestion and improve safety.

We also provide peer review services for traffic studies prepared by others, ensuring compliance with City
standards, ITE methodologies, and the Highway
Capacity Manual. Our staff routinely prepares technical memoranda and staff reports summarizing findings
in a manner that is clear for City Council, Planning

6. Project Management Plan
General Approach
Our general project approach to on-call traffic
engineering services encompasses three main
components:

1. Research of Relevant Background Information: this
includes items such as previous studies, records of
prior approvals or resolutions, conditions of approval
that may be relevant to the project under consideration, etc.

2. Application of our Engineering and Planning
Knowledge: to discern prospective issues including
controversial issues and providing notice to the
City staff. Our knowledge is based on the collective
experience of our team members coupled with the
relevant background information. In delivering our
services we build on:
a) Policies and Procedures at the Local, Regional,
State, and Federal levels: which include regulations
and guidelines impacting the municipal traffic
engineering process from the City code to elements
like SB 1, SB743, the regional Green House Gas/
SCS policies and plans, MUTCD, the Complete
Streets guidelines among others.
b) Emerging Trends in Traffic Engineering Practice
and Technology: which includes elements such as
Vision Zero, concepts of Complete Streets and Active
Transportation considerations. Similarly, changes in
the MUTCD and the new Highway Safety Manual
affect the practice of municipal transportation traffic engineering.

3. Effective and Timely Communication: whereby we
expect on-going interaction with City staff during each task order where progress can be monitored. This could
include weekly touchpoints to discuss the project and
ensure all parties are up to date on project progress.

We anticipate that informal check in meetings will
occur regularly.

Project Management Approach
GTS provides the capabilities needed to complete
high-priority transportation projects or provide solid
recommendations to City staff and elected officials
on how to address particular transportation issues.

We understand that communication, responsiveness,
efficiency, and collaboration are critical to our
successful partnerships with local municipalities.

Rawad Hani will be City’s main point of contact and will manage the task orders and staff to execute the required City of Lawndale On-Call Traffic Engineering Services 20 Commission, and the general public, allowing decisionmakers to fully understand study results and impacts.

Representative Experience:
• City of Moorpark: Peer review of Everett Street
Terraces TIS.
• Imperial County: Peer review of Energy Source
Industrial Project TIS.

Signing and Striping Design
Signing and striping improvements are an essential
part of maintaining safe and efficient traffic operations.

GTS develops clear and effective plans to address bike
lane enhancements, refresh faded striping, install new
signage, and update roadway markings in compliance
with CA-MUTCD standards.

Our plans typically include lane reconfigurations,
buffered and protected bike lanes, parking restrictions, colored pavement treatments, and ADA-compliant
curb ramps. We also coordinate with City maintenance
crews to prepare construction notes, quantities, and
cost estimates, ensuring that projects can move
efficiently from design to implementation.

Representative Experience:
• City of Santa Monica: ATP-funded signing and
striping design as part of multimodal corridor
improvements.
• City of Carson: Signing and striping associated
with HSIP-funded signal projects.

Worksite Traffic Control Design
For CIP and development-related construction projects,
GTS provides traffic control plans that ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and construction crews.

Plans are designed in accordance with Caltrans and
MUTCD requirements, incorporating ADA-compliant
detours, appropriate signage, and phasing strategies
that minimize disruptions.

We prepare plans at scales suitable for both large arterial projects and local residential streets, coordinating with contractors on staging and access needs. Our team
also provides real-time review during construction to
adjust traffic control in response to field conditions, helping the City avoid delays or safety risks.

Representative Experience:
• City of Hermosa Beach: Review of traffic control for
~17 outdoor dining parklets.
• City of Santa Monica: Traffic control planning for
20th Street improvements.

Traffic Calming Design
GTS has extensive experience designing traffic
calming solutions to reduce vehicle speeds, improve
pedestrian and bicycle safety, and address community
concerns. Our process involves data collection, public
engagement, and development of alternatives such
as curb extensions, roundabouts, speed humps, and
chicanes.

We also prepare concept visualizations and crosssection exhibits for community meetings, enabling residents to see how improvements will look before
implementation. Our team works closely with Public
Works and Police Departments to balance traffic
calming benefits with emergency vehicle access and
maintenance considerations.

requiring technical analysis as well as community and
business engagement. GTS conducts parking studies
that assess current supply and demand, forecast future
needs, and recommend management strategies based
on pricing, location, and time controls.

We provide heat maps of occupancy, peak-period
surveys, and tailored management strategies such as
residential permit parking, shared-use agreements,
and technology-based solutions (meter upgrades, payby-phone systems). Our work often includes public outreach, where we prepare easy-to-understand
visuals that clearly explain trade-offs to stakeholders.

Representative Experience:
• City of Torrance: Parking strategy development for
Downtown Revitalization.
• City of Hermosa Beach: Integration of dining decks
with curbside management.

School-Related Operations Analysis
GTS assists cities in addressing traffic and safety
challenges around schools, where congestion,
pedestrian activity, and multimodal interactions are
highest. We evaluate pick-up/drop-off operations,
crossing guard locations, signage, and pedestrian and
bicycle access.

Our school circulation studies often involve
coordination with school principals, PTA groups, and
City of Lawndale On-Call Traffic Engineering Services 21 crossing guards to capture both technical and practical perspectives. We prepare short-term “quick build”
improvements such as signage changes and loading
adjustments, alongside longer-term recommendations
like signal modifications, curb extensions, or traffic
calming treatments.

Representative Experience:
• City of Rancho Palos Verdes: Corridor operations
analysis including school-related peak-hour
congestion.
• City of Carson: Traffic control and circulation
improvements near school-adjacent intersections.

development applications, and encroachment permits.

We evaluate traffic signal plans, signing and striping
layouts, traffic control plans, and roadway design
submittals for consistency with City standards and
industry best practices.

Our reviews include redlined markups, written
technical memoranda, and meetings with applicants
or contractors to resolve issues. We prioritize timely
turnaround to avoid holding up development schedules
while still protecting the City’s interests and maintaining safety standards.

Representative Experience:
• City of Rancho Palos Verdes: On-call plan review
for more than 50 task orders.
• City of Hawthorne: Review of development-related
traffic improvements.

Timing Sheet Reviews
Signal timing is critical to safe and efficient mobility.

City of Lawndale On-Call Traffic Engineering Services 22 Quality Assurance & Control Brief
GTS ensures project deliverables are free of errors,
easy to understand, and executed in line with client
expectations. Our established quality control process
builds on our experience to offer precision in delivery of our work. Our quality assurance/quality control plan begins before the task order is assigned, during scoping discussions. At this time, our project manager will
work with the City to define the project tasks, establish roles and responsibilities for project team members,
identify communication protocols, and identify success
criteria for the project. Subsequently, we develop a
draft definition of required project tasks, deliverables, budget, and schedule. Risk assessment, change
management strategies, and project communication
plans are incorporated into this planning process.

Once these tasks have been reviewed, modified, and
adopted by the project team, GTS will proceed with the
project as planned, providing continuous support and
regular communication with the City.

All deliverables and communications with the City will
be reviewed by both the project manager and a key
team member (who is not otherwise involved in the
task). This will be akin to a third-party QA/QC that not only ensures that deliverables are free of errors, but
also that we are meeting your needs in terms of our
understanding of the project and are aligned with the
City’s budget and schedule.

For design work in particular, our design plans will be field verified and reviewed by senior staff members
during the design preparation. A constructability review in the field will be carried out for the final plan prior to City’s approval. Formal quality control checklists and/ or plan review comments are employed to control the
quality of deliverables.

At the end of every project, GTS conducts a project
closure process that includes an online client survey
to gauge our success from the client’s perspective. We
share the feedback among the project team in an effort
to constantly improve.

As you may know, HCI has been successfully providing the same type of services to numerous local agencies, including the nearby City of Hermosa Beach, as part-time contract City Traffic Engineer for the past several years.

HCI has thoroughly examined and become familiar with the scope of work required under City’s Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and is very capable in performing quality traffic engineering services to achieve the City’s objectives under a new 3-year contract, with options to extend the agreement for an additional two years. HCI understands that it is the City’s intent for this process to result in an approved list of firms that may be utilized for upcoming services.

The City’s RFQ (issued September 10, 2025) is incorporated in its entirety as a part of our proposal. Likewise, if selected, HCI understands that our proposal package will be incorporated in its entirety as part of a new On-Call Traffic Engineering Services contract, and will jointly become part of the “Contract Services Agreement” when said agreement is fully executed by the City of Lawndale and HCI. HCI acknowledges there have been no addendums issued as part of this RFQ.

During our (32+) years of business operation, our HCI staff has successfully provided these same types of requested on-call traffic engineering services to numerous Southern California city agencies, including the City of Lawndale in prior years, where we build on their foundation for a viable, responsive traffic engineering function.

4) BIOS OF KEY STAFF (continued)
Names and Qualifications of Possible Sub-Consultants
National Data & Surveying Services (NDS)
As mentioned, HCI anticipates using NDS, headquartered in Los Angeles, as our sub-consultant for obtaining traffic count data collection. Typically, HCI works with NDS to collect required vehicular traffic/pedestrian data as part of City-requested surveys, studies, and investigations.

Founded in 1989, NDS was established to deliver accurate and professional solutions to their client’s traffic, transit and GIS/GPS data collection needs. NDS has over (33) years of successful operations, and an outstanding team of (100) professional full time employees that have established them as the foremost, full service traffic and transit data collection company on the west coast. NDS is certified as a SBE by the State of California. HCI has successfully partnered with NDS on numerous data collection projects over the last (25) years, realizing their competitive pricing on their efficient data collection. Projects that HCI has completed with NDS include data collection for numerous stop sign warrant analyses, traffic signal warrants analyses, left-turn phasing/delay warrant studies, citywide E&T speed limit surveys, citywide ADT flow maps, truck classification counts for TI calculations, traffic signal timing development (free & coordinated timing), Synchro Level-of-Service (LOS) operational/queuing analyses, crosswalk analyses, video surveillance, and parking studies. Upon request by the City of Lawndale, HCI will work with NDS to conduct count data collection specific for each task.

Bess Testlab, Inc.

As part of certain City-approved preliminary design work, HCI will use a certified potholing company, Bess TestLab, Inc. (Bess) as our sub-consultant. We realize that certain traffic signal pole foundations are larger diameter and deeper per the latest State standards, and the City’s contractor may have issues when digging the foundations with conflicting underground utilities.

Therefore, as completion of certain preliminary designs, HCI and Bess will identify the actual locations in the field for the proposed larger-size signal pole foundations in the field. Bess will then complete the number of City-approved potholes at the project location.

This design potholing task has become more necessary in order to verify that equipment such as new traffic signal pole foundations being designed are accommodated in the sidewalk area, and prevent having to relocate pole placement during construction, or worst-case, prevent having to re-order new traffic signal poles during construction causing significant delay and extra costs.

Bess uses special equipment, skilled personnel, certified safety-sensitive hazmat-trained technicians and supplies required to perform designation and utility location services using dustcontrolled, soil-monitored VOC (volatile organic compounds) sensored, soil extraction methods.

HCI has successfully partnered with Bess (as Saf-r-Dig before the company shut down) for potholing tasks on several design projects over the last several years, including for the Cities of Bellflower and Indio.

If preferred, C Below, Inc. may also perform similar tasks as Bess Testlab, Inc. HCI has also successfully worked with C Below, Inc. on several prior traffic signal design projects.

6) PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Statement of Understanding & Approach to Delivery of Services Per the City’s RFQ, the City of Lawndale seeks to establish a list of professional firms with the capability and capacity to provide on-call traffic engineering services to support the function and needs of the City’s Public Works Department.

We also understand the Public Works Department will complement their existing staff with certain engineering services to be provided on an on-call/as-needed basis.

As you may know, HCI has been successfully providing these same services as part-time contract traffic engineer to numerous local city agencies. Moreover, since we have performed certain traffic engineering services in the past for the City of Lawndale, we are very familiar with the City.

If selected, our Senior Engineer, Mr. Scott Ma, PE, TE, will be assigned as the Contract Manager serving the City of Lawndale with the scope of services summarized in the City’s RFQ. As mentioned, Scott has been successfully serving the neighboring City of Hermosa Beach for the past several years. Scott, and the HCI team, will provide recommendations and services requested on an as-needed basis by the City’s principal contact. Scott and the HCI team will ensure that consistent communication between the City of Lawndale and HCI occurs regularly.

Scott will continuously have our entire HCI staff as a resource, as needed.

Under the direction of the City’s principal contact, or other approved staff member, at a minimum, HCI is capable to provide the following on-call traffic engineering consulting services to address specific traffic engineering matters within the City of Lawndale Public Works Department:

1. Provide traffic engineering design.

HCI has extensive experience in the development of traffic engineering plans, such as new traffic signal, traffic signal modification, signal interconnect, signing and striping, and traffic control plans, as these are our firm’s primary service products. For each of these types of plans, HCI includes technical provisions and engineer’s estimates that complement each plan set providing complete PS&E that is ready for construction bidding on time and within the approved schedule.

Examples of our different types of designs can be submitted for the City’s review upon request.

2. Review, plan-check, and make recommendations on traffic plans and reports, and provide input relating to traffic issues on planning and development applications.

Our staff also has extensive experience in reviewing and analyzing many types of City and developer-related plans, as well as assimilating the findings and recommendations into easily understood summations.

Proposal to Provide On-Call Traffic Engineering Services for the City of Lawndale, CA

6) PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN (continued)
Statement of Understanding & Approach to Delivery of Services (cont’d) Our experience and expertise also allows quick and complete site plan review for traffic engineering applications to determine conformance to traffic, parking, access, street and pavement, subdivision requirements, meetings with developers or contractors to resolve traffic issues.

It is noted that many development-related services such as the review of street improvement or traffic signal plans are project specific and are treated as recoverable project costs.

Upon request, HCI staff will render and remit a typed plan-check correction/clarification list (2 copies) to the Public Works Department within (10) working days from notification by the City for a typical development project.

3. When requested, prepare written engineering reports related to pedestrian traffic patterns, traffic installations, and traffic control devices such as STOP signs, traffic signals, crosswalks, speed zones, traffic control, and similar matters.

Our staff prepares numerous amounts of warrant analysis and traffic operations reports every year for various city agencies, such as, traffic signal warrants, left-turn phasing warrants, multiway stop warrants, operational level-of-service (LOS), queuing analyses, crosswalk analyses, traffic calming studies, Engineering and Traffic (E&T) surveys for speed limits, etc.

HCI staff has obtained and analyzed data, prepared exhibits, and developed reports for literally hundreds of traffic studies. Sample reports can be forwarded to the City upon request.

6) PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN (continued)
Communications Approach and Quality Control (cont’d)

1. Design Engineering Services (Traffic Signal, Signal Interconnect, & ITS Design Plans) HCI has extensive experience in the development of traffic engineering plans, such as new traffic signal, traffic signal modification, signal interconnect, and ITS as these are among our firm’s primary service products. HCI generally begins a traffic design by completing a topographic field-review of the intersection/location. More specifically, HCI staff conducts a field review to verify existing equipment and/or document roadway features including curb, gutter, median alignments, sidewalks, driveways, catch basins, curb returns, bus and bicycle routes, signing and striping. HCI also reviews the project roadways and compare the layout drawings against existing field conditions. Potential conflicts between proposed improvements and underground/overhead utilities (other infrastructure) are investigated.

HCI then prepares a base design plan using AutoCAD for the project location. After incorporating all necessary utility data, a preliminary traffic plan is prepared that takes the existing and modified street and intersection geometries into consideration, along with other factors that may influence the design and/or operation of the system. Each plan includes necessary notes/specifications for applicable equipment removal, and installation.

The majority of our traffic signal design work is designed in conformance with Sections 86 and 87 of the State of California (Caltrans) Specifications and Standard Plans, latest edition, and is compliant with the City’s most current signal design standards and technical provisions. The traffic plans generally include: General and construction notes, phase diagram, conductor, detector and pole schedules, and any other details necessary for construction. The plans are typically prepared at 20-scale or 40-scale and plotted on ‘D’ size (24”x36”) sheets with standard City title block. HCI usually provides a 60% and 90%-complete progress submittal of the preliminary traffic plans to the City for design review. Comments received during the City’s review are incorporated in a timely manner into the final plan submittal.

HCI also has extensive experience in the development of signing and striping plans, signing/striping modification plans, and traffic control plans. For each of these types of plans, HCI includes applicable technical provisions and engineer’s estimates that complement each plan set providing complete PS&E ready for construction bidding on time and within the City’s approved schedule. All plans are prepared under our licensed Traffic and Civil Engineers.

It is important to note, all of our staff assigned to serve the City of Lawndale have a thorough knowledge and proficiency in the local agency municipal codes, current State (Caltrans) standard plans and specifications, Highway Design Manual, Highway Capacity Manual, California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), policies and procedures for ADA regulations, traffic signal timing, traffic engineering modeling and methodologies, ITS, Federal/State/County/City funding, traffic standards and methodologies, the State of California Vehicle Code, as well as Metro requirements.

6) PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN (continued)
Communications Approach and Quality Control (cont’d)

1. Design Engineering Services (Traffic Signal, Signal Interconnect, & ITS Design Plans) (cont’d) Our team will provide the City with all materials and labor to perform the requested traffic engineering design services and conform to these standards. In addition to our technical expertise, our staff possesses the ability to effectively communicate in oral or written form and have no difficulty speaking before groups. HCI staff will attend City staff, City Council, Planning Commission, and other extraordinary meetings or events, as needed and requested by City. HCI staff does have the expertise to complete all traffic engineering services as listed in the City’s RFQ, including working with various agencies such as Caltrans District 7 and Metro.

2. Plan-Checking Services / Private Development Plan-Check HCI understands that the on-call professional engineering services may involve plan-check services for the consultant to provide services on behalf of the City in accordance with current Traffic Engineering and Traffic Operations principles and design requirements.

As requested as part of our contract traffic engineering services, HCI will perform plan checks and reviews in accordance with any applicable City Design Manual, Standard Plans, Technical Provisions, Planning and Design Guidelines for Bicycle Facilities, and Transportation Guidelines, Caltrans Highway Design Manual, CA MUTCD, and the Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications. As our firm specializes in providing traffic engineering services to local agencies, HCI staff have reviewed and plan-checked countless traffic plans over the past (30+) years for numerous cities. Our professional engineering staff has extensive experience in reviewing and analyzing all types of City and developer-related traffic plans. This experience includes assimilating the findings and recommendations into easily understood summations. All of our traffic design and plan reviews are completed under the supervision and control of our traffic and civil engineers who are licensed by the Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists to practice in the State of California.

HCI’s experience and expertise allows quick and complete site plan review for all types of traffic engineering applications, as well as several civil applications, to determine conformance to traffic, parking, access, street and pavement, subdivision requirements, meetings with developers or contractors to resolve traffic issues.

Upon request, HCI staff will red-line a plan and/or render and remit a typed plan-check correction/clarification list (2 copies) to the Public Works Department/Engineering Division within (10) working days from notification by the City for a typical development project. HCI’s traffic plan review check list is comprised of the following:

HCI also has the capability and does practice digital plan review. As this method has been requested more often in order to conserve materials and plan delivery time, HCI staff often receives traffic plans in PDF format for plan-check review. Our designers review each plan and provide comments in using the Adobe Acrobat PDF or Nitro PDF programs. These softwares provide the “commenting” features to provide dated comments on the PDF file in red text, strikeouts, leader arrows, and applicable notes. In this way, the comments may be saved and emailed back and forth from/to the City, in a quick, neat manner.

2. Plan-Checking Services / Private Development Plan-Check (cont’d) If the City prefers, HCI also has the capability to more quickly print plans received by the city on full-scale sheets from our full-size plotter, and prepare plan-check comments by hand in red pencil/pen. Upon completion, the sheets are scanned into our network as PDF files using our large-scale color scanner. These files are then emailed to the City/consultant quickly without having to use regular mail or overnight delivery. If requested, our reviews conclude with developing detailed, project-specific Conditions of Approval for the City’s consideration. It is noted that many development-related services such as the review of street improvement or traffic signal plans are project specific and are treated as recoverable project costs. With our internet based tools and 15-person available staff, HCI is very capable of taking on and efficiently managing multiple design/review projects.
7) HOURLY RATE SCHEDULE
Per the City’s RFQ, HCI understands that an awarded contract will be up to $100,000.00 annually. HCI is including our current Hourly Rate Schedule (see attached) showing all of our classifications and billable rates for our proposed staff members that may serve the City of Lawndale.

HCI is proposing to use the attached Schedule of Hourly Rates for our proposed staff positions that may be performing various on-call professional traffic engineering services for the City of Lawndale on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis on an as-needed basis under a new agreement.

HCI also understands that future proposals for individual specific projects may be requested by the City of Lawndale from firms which are selected and have executed agreements for professional on-call traffic engineering services. The attached hourly rates will be used by HCI to prepare these specific proposals, when requested by the City.

The rates shown in the attached Hourly Rate Schedule are guaranteed for the initial 3-Year term of the agreement. HCI respectfully requests an opportunity to possibly increase our rates according to the Consumer Price Index during years 4 & 5, if the options to extend the agreement are approved.

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.

Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.

If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this methoo, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
d. Primary And Non-Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and noncontributory basis. this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury'' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.

5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.

Since Kimley-Horn’s founding, on-call clients have been a top priority, and our approach is to serve as an extension of City staff. We have extensive on-call experience and understand what it takes to provide services on an as-needed basis for a local government. We currently have over 200 on-call contracts throughout California.

As illustrated below, our firm has provided similar on-call services to over local agencies, Caltrans, and many other California municipalities, proving our ability to complete comparable services for similarly sized and staffed municipalities. Following this map, we have highlighted some similar past, recently completed, and/or ongoing projects and services our proposed team has provided to local agencies in the last two years, emphasizing our ability to successfully complete similar as-needed projects. 13 City of Hawthorne, Traffic Engineering On-Call, Hawthorne, CA Since 2022, Kimley-Horn has provided on-call traffic engineering services to the City, supporting both day-to-day needs and capital improvement projects. As part of this ongoing partnership, Kimley-Horn staff work on-site at City Hall one day each week to provide immediate support and maintain close coordination with City staff. This includes traffic signal design at over 15 intersections along Hawthorne Boulevard, El Segundo Boulevard, Imperial Highway, and Rosecrans Avenue. Kimley-Horn assisted the City with the implementation of Senate Bill 743 by developing VMT analysis guidelines and creating TREDLITE, a Kimley-Horn proprietary tool, to evaluate Vehicle Miles Traveled for CEQA compliance. The team supports the City with traffic calming and speed hump requests, traffic signal and school circulation complaints, pedestrian enhancements, stop sign warrants, on-street parking inventories, and development access reviews. This includes school traffic evaluations at Ramona Elementary and neighborhood safety improvements such as speed humps and updated signing/striping. Coordination with Caltrans and LA County ensures signal timing concerns are addressed and regional projects are aligned with City infrastructure needs. Recent design projects include striping plans for 120th Street, which added dual eastbound turn lanes, and current pedestrian improvements at the Crenshaw Metro Station. All work has been completed on time and within budget.

17 City of Hawthorne, Citywide Parking Study, Hawthorne, CA Kimley-Horn is leading this project to identify and recommend updates to the City’s on- and off-street parking regulations for residential areas and commercial corridors. These updates aim to address growing demand from residents and new businesses, compounded by recent state policies and inefficient parking behavior. Historically, the City’s parking management focused on safety, residential needs, and limited enforcement of time limits. However, with shifting demographics and post-pandemic parking patterns, the City engaged Kimley-Horn to assess current conditions and recommend parking management strategies, procedures, pricing, and technology. The first step was digitizing the City’s parking inventory, enabling regulation mapping and heat maps of utilization. Kimley-Horn also developed an RFP for parking management services and paid parking equipment, which is now out for bid.

18 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Kimley-Horn understands that the City’s on-call contract demands a project management approach that is responsive, organized, and transparent. Our team brings decades of experience managing similar as-needed contracts, and we’ve built robust systems and communication protocols to ensure successful delivery of each task order—on schedule, within budget, and with a strong focus on quality.

Responding to As-Needed Requests
As-needed contracts require agility, responsiveness, and local availability. Our Contract Manager, Laura Forinash, P.E., T.E., will serve as the primary point of contact and will be immediately available to discuss any requests—whether by phone, email, or in person. Given her proximity to the City, Laura is able to meet on-site or in the field on short notice to support urgent or complex requests.

Upon receiving a new task order, we will:
■ Acknowledge receipt within one business day
■ Conduct a quick internal review of the scope, schedule, and staffing needs ■ Provide a draft scope of work, fee estimate, and schedule within three business days, or sooner if needed ■ Mobilize our team and begin work immediately upon authorization Our team is well-versed in managing both quick-turnaround assignments and longer-term projects. We leverage internal resource planning tools to ensure the right staff are assigned and available to respond efficiently. This approach, combined with Laura’s hands-on project leadership, ensures that no matter the size or complexity of the task, we are ready to act quickly and deliver with quality.

Clear Communication with the City
Open and timely communication is foundational to our approach.

To ensure consistent alignment with the City's expectations, we will:
■ Designate Laura as the Consultant Contract Manager,
providing a single point of contact for all City correspondence ■ Maintain ongoing communication through weekly calls, formal status reports, and real-time email updates
■ Respond promptly to City questions and direction, and document all communications to maintain transparency and accountability
We also recognize the critical need for prompt coordination beyond City staff by engaging residents on traffic calming issues, communicating efficiently with developers, especially when plan checks impact project timelines, and providing timely updates to City Council and community stakeholders.

Our team is committed to quick turnaround times and responsive service, understanding that delays can directly impact the community. We prioritize listening carefully to fully understand the City’s goals, challenges, and vision to ensure that every response and deliverable aligns with your needs, expectations, and broader community priorities.

Sample weekly agenda that Laura
provides to Laguna Nigel
19 Oversight of Task Orders: Schedule, Budget, and QA/QC Our project oversight process is designed to ensure every task order meets the City’s expectations in terms of timeliness, cost control, and quality.

Schedule Adherence
Each task order is tracked using milestone-based schedules developed in MS Project. Weekly internal reviews are held to monitor progress and flag risks early. Our internal cast-ahead system forecasts staff availability and task timing to maintain reliable delivery.

Budget Control
Kimley-Horn manages budget using the CostPoint Engineering Accounting system, which provides Laura realtime access to labor charges and expenses. Twice monthly, the Kimley-Horn Management Information System (MIS) generates a Project Effort Report showing, by task, actual effort expended and project expenses. This internal control allows us to adjust, on a timely basis, which may be necessary to stay within budget and assist in maintaining the project schedule. The proven financial management tools we have in place have helped us stay at the top of the engineering consulting profession for over 58 years. 20 Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Since our founding, Kimley-Horn has aggressively pursued a commitment to quality for every task, deliverable, and service provided by the firm. We see ourselves as an extension of client staff and place tremendous emphasis on maintaining high standards of quality from the inception of a task through completion for both our work and our subconsultants’ work. That’s why we’ve developed a Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) manual that every project manager and task manager is required to know and use. Kimley-Horn’s QC/QA program is based on the philosophy that:
■ Quality is achieved by adequate planning, coordination, supervision, and technical direction; proper definition of the job requirements and procedures; understanding the scope of services; and the use of appropriately skilled personnel performing work functions carefully
■ Quality is controlled by assigning a manager to evaluate all work and procedures followed while providing the services
■ Quality is secured through the careful surveillance of work activities by individuals who are not directly responsible for performing the initial efforts
■ Quality is verified through independent reviews by a qualified staff member of the processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction, and staffing associated with the project development QC/QA oversight will be led by Sowmya Chandrasekhar, PE, TE, PTOE, who brings over 15 years of traffic engineering experience and has supported on-call contracts for multiple agencies, as well as Steven Anderson, PE, who has more than 17 years of experience in municipal services, specializing in project review with a focus on feasibility and constructability. Steven emphasizes proposing solutions that are practical, achievable, and costeffective to ensure successful project delivery 21 Sample Work Plan for Design Task

 Customer Care means highest quality customer service. Transtech is committed to providing “Customer Care” to the City, City's patrons, responding quickly and effectively to the walk-in, telephone, and electronic inquiries of the public related to our services.

Structured and Quality Control Approach: We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable of providing the City with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies, including written manuals on quality control, project management, and design procedures for its staff and for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements.

The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver quality projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of the specific contract for the specific project.
• Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires extensive hands-on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget.
• Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner.
• Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations.

When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans.
• Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies, weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as well as pdf files. • Safety and Security: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements, OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities. • Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report. • Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. • Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project participates a common project information and file sharing platform.

Coordination with City: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. We will establish and maintain a close working relationship with City staff. We will manage assigned projects, carefully control costs and resources, and complete assigned work on schedule. We will provide progress reports to the City at regular intervals.

Expediting Projects: Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite tasks when requested by the City.

Transtech has sufficient staff and resources to expedite projects.

Traffic Calming Measures
FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) and ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) define the primary purpose of traffic calming is to support the livability and vitality of residential and commercial areas through improvements in non-motorist safety, mobility, and comfort. These objectives are typically achieved by reducing vehicle speeds or volumes on a single street or a street network. Traffic calming measures consist of horizontal, vertical, lane narrowing, roadside, and other features that use self-enforcing physical or psycho-perception means to produce desired effects. Traffic calming involves trade-offs; finding a balance between the need to provide an efficient transportation network and maintaining a livable and safe environment for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other street or street-adjacent users. The challenge of traffic calming is selecting the appropriate measures and locations to reach that balance. LCI staff will review the proposed traffic calming measures and recommend an approach and course of action to City staff.

With extensive experience in Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) across multiple cities, LCI leverages this expertise to inform and enhance traffic calming initiatives. By applying detailed traffic data from E&TS, the consultant identifies key areas where traffic calming measures can be most effective. This experience allows for precise recommendations and well-targeted solutions, ensuring that traffic calming strategies are based on thorough analysis and tailored to address specific traffic issues effectively.

Parking Studies
Our area-wide parking studies determine the parking needs of major development, commercial/business centers and university/medical campuses. The LIN Consulting team performs demand and utilization surveys, projects future parking space needs, identifies potential parking facility sites and recommends parking management programs. Our staff has assumed the leadership role in updating the ITE Parking Generation Report and served as consultants for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) parking resource documents. Our design services include external access, control gates/fee collection equipment, internal circulation, parking guidance systems, and parking layout.

For existing facilities, we modify layouts to increase parking spaces and improve access and circulation.

School Related Operations Analysis
LCI can conduct assessments of existing infrastructure, identify gaps or barriers, and recommend improvements to support active transportation modes. LCI can also develop strategies to improve route visibility, accessibility, and safety, such as the installation of bike lanes, crosswalks, and pedestrian signals. Additionally, LCI can engage with community stakeholders to understand their needs and incorporate feedback into the planning process.

The Project Manager will update the project schedule every month for internal planning purposes. The updated schedule will show any revisions necessitated by the actual occurrence of events.

Project Cost Control – A software application program is utilized to process hours worked and expenses charged to the project on a weekly basis. A sub-project number is assigned to every task in an effort to better categorize and track all time and expense spent on an individual task.

Project Progress Reports - A progress report will be submitted to the City every month. The items covered in the report will include activities completed, scheduled activities for the next period, meetings attended, problems and suggested mitigation steps, and budget status.

Project meetings with City staff will be held as often as desired by the City to exchange information, review progress, identify problems, and determine any necessary adjustments to the work plan. The LCI team recognizes meetings are an integral part of the work required to accomplish project tasks and meet pre-scheduled milestones. Types of meetings include, but are not limited to, the following:

Project Kick-off Meeting - During this meeting, LIN Consulting will request any information or data needed by its engineers from the City’s Project Manager. This information may include items such as as-built plans, traffic counts, and preliminary improvement identifications performed by the City. We would also discuss the general scope and schedule of the project, redefining them as needed.

Pre-design Meetings – For task orders requiring pre-design meetings, we will present our recommendations on required improvements for each location to the affected agencies. We will provide base plans which indicate existing conditions of the project location(s) and explore design opportunities and constraints.

Comment Review Meetings - During these meetings, we will discuss and request clarifications on the City’s comments prior to implementing design plan corrections. Comment resolution with minutes will be prepared by LIN Consulting’s team and submitted to the City within one week after the meeting.

In addition to meeting with the City, LIN Consulting’s Project Manager will hold routine internal project meetings to ensure all team members are working towards the project goals in the most efficient and expeditious manner possible. The protocols outlined above serve to streamline the Task order completion process and to allocate Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Traffic Engineering Services | City of Lawndale Page | 21 work as efficiently as possible for the City of Lawndale.

Quality Checks and Assurances
LCI’s Quality Assurance policy is followed for every project and by all planning and engineering staff. LCI has a proven track record of providing quality engineering services to public agencies and is committed to delivering excellence. Our engineers will be able to fulfill this directive by enforcing our Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program as early and as strenuously as possible during project development. As a firm and as individuals, we always strive for excellence. Having this goal at the forefront of everything that we do has allowed us the ability to satisfy client demands on strict turnarounds.

Out-going Documents: Prior to each milestone submittal, LIN Consulting’s QA/QC manager will review the submittal document utilizing our in-house QA/QC procedure. All plans produced by LIN Consulting will be carefully reviewed and approved prior to the distribution to other designers or to the client. A QA/QC signature stamp as shown in the picture is placed on all plans, it includes initials to be placed by the personnel who designed, reviewed, back-checked, and corrected the plan. It is important that in each level of the plan check, the engineer carefully reviews his/her work and without assuming that someone else will be reviewing it to catch mistakes.

In conjunction with LIN Consulting’s quality control program, the project team will implement additional measures, such as cross checking, to verify that the products produced throughout the project will be of high quality and content. LIN Consulting’s team proposes using a 2-step quality-control process involving both overthe-shoulder review and final review prior to submittal.

Document Retention: For each milestone submittal, reviewed documents (electronic or scanned hardcopy of the stamp review set) will be retained as part of the LCI QA/QC process. These documents will be archived and backed up with the project document.

For the most efficient, streamlined project delivery, LIN Consulting, Inc. recognizes organization is a priceless asset. LCI places importance for all plans to be labeled with the specific date and revision numbers. The electronic file of design plans, estimates, specifications, and project correspondences are stored in the centralized server, which automatically mirrors and stores information on a secondary server located at our other branch offices.

This back-up process enhances the safety and security of all electronic files generated by and for the project while serving as effectual, systemic document referencing for all parties involved.

Our team understands the services we provide will greatly impact the seniors, youth, and families in the community; that is why we all share a sense of responsibility to provide the City with quality and accurate design plans with safety at the forefront of our minds.

4 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
We at W.G. Zimmerman Engineering have served as the City Contract Traffic Engineer to various Southern California Agencies as well as staff augmentation includes serving as City Engineer, Interim Public Works Director, Senior Civil Engineer, Associate Engineer, Assistant Engineer, and Inspector.

This experience provides the City of Lawndale with a team well versed in City operations and protocols, and a thorough understanding of City internal operations.

4.1 Tasks Associated with Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) As staff augmentation and traffic engineering consultants for local agencies, we provided comprehensive support in managing City Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs). Our approach to engineering CIP projects follows two primary pathways:

1. Smaller, quick-turnaround projects are coordinated directly with City staff and executed inhouse—either by City personnel, WGZE staff, or a combination of both.

2. Larger projects that involve external funding are delivered through either an “On-Call” services contract or a formal RFP process, depending on the funding source.

Project selection is based on available funding, funding source, and/or fiscal year priorities. Using this strategic approach while serving as the City Engineer for the City of Norwalk, we successfully eliminated a 7-year CIP backlog.

Project Plans – Project plans will be developed using the most current City, County of Riverside, Caltrans, APWA, or other source(s) criteria. Criteria varies based upon the funding type. For the most part, Caltrans and California Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) standard plans and manuals are used for traffic signals, striping and signing, lighting, and other traffic related projects.

Design Coordination – The key to project design is utility coordination. This has to occur at the beginning, midway, and near the final project plan completion. Emphasis is applied to whether the utility has prior rights or in franchise. If under franchise, thought must be given to the utility relocation timeline and the impact to the construction schedule. Many projects cross jurisdictional boundaries. Caltrans and flood control districts are two agencies that must be included early in the design process. Coordination meetings will be set prior to the start of projects. It will be an all hands meeting with all identified agencies and utilities. As the project progresses, many of the agencies will drop off due to no conflicts or issues addressed early on.

Detour, Traffic Control, and Construction Staging Plans – Plans will be based upon project needs, adjacent arterials to move traffic without impacting residents, and construction needs. These construction plans will follow the CA MUTCD, Caltrans, and APWA criteria.

As City Traffic Engineers to local agencies, we have developed alternatives based upon public, staff, and political bodies comments. The KEY difference with WGZE is that we listen to the community. We collect information and comments, then prepare a response to each based upon traffic engineering principles and standards. Our presentation is based upon years serving as City Traffic Engineers to Statement of Qualifications: On-Call Traffic Engineering Page | 16

local agencies. This includes key buzz word avoidance, present in layman terms, and provide reasonable responses in a non-confrontational manner.

Funding – We have been successful with well over $50 million to local agencies for project funding including Federal, State, County, and other program funding. In addition, we are well experienced in funding management for eligible and ineligible expenses. We have secured funding for the following agencies: Downey, Norwalk, Signal Hill, Seal Beach, Rancho Mirage, Cerritos, Lake Elsinore, Brea, and Irvine.
