Firm shall obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, at its sole cost and expense, and in a form and content satisfactory to City, all insurance required under this section. Firm shall not commence any Project Services unless and until it has provided evidence satisfactory to City that it has secured all insurance required under this section.

42 1367754.1

5.2.1.1 The PLI policy shall be endorsed to delete any Contractual Liability Exclusion. The PLI shall include contractual liability coverage applicable to this Agreement. The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured, and include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend the insured.

If any PLI policy is replaced, cancelled, non-renewed, discontinued, or otherwise terminated, or if the limits of a PLI policy are reduced or the available coverage depleted below the required minimum coverage amounts for any reason during the PLI Coverage Period, Firm shall immediately obtain replacement PLI coverage meeting the requirements of this Section

5.2.1. Such replacement coverage shall satisfy all requirements herein, and shall include coverage for the prior acts or omissions of Firm during the time period during which any Project Services were performed. The coverage shall be evidenced by either a new policy evidencing no gap in coverage, or by obtaining separate extended “tail” coverage with the present or new carrier or other insurance arrangements providing for complete coverage, either of which shall be subject to the written approval by West-Comm.

5.2.1.3 If the PLI policy is written on an “occurrence” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Project Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later. In the event of termination of the PLI policy during this period, new coverage shall immediately be obtained, and written evidence of the policy shall be immediately provided to West-Comm, to ensure PLI coverage during the entire course of performing the Project services.

5.2.1.4 Firm shall not perform any Project Services at any time during which required types or amounts of PLI insurance are not in effect, and West-Comm shall have no obligation to pay Firm for Project Services performed while required PLI insurance is not in effect.

43 1367754.1

5.2.4 Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Firm shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Workers’ Compensation Insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, and in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California. Firm agrees to waive and obtain endorsements from its workers’ compensation insurer waiving all subrogation rights under its workers’ compensation insurance policy against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, and to require each of its subconsultants and subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers’ compensation insurance policies. Firm shall also obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Employer’s Liability Insurance written on a per occurrence basis with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury or disease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Firm shall not be required to procure either Worker’s Compensation Insurance or Employer’s Liability Insurance if Firm provides written verification to the City that Firm does not have any employees.

5.3 Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance required by this section shall be issued by a licensed company authorized to transact business in the state by the Department of Insurance for the State of California with a current rating of A-:VII or better (if an admitted carrier), or a current rating of A:X or better (if offered by a non-admitted insurer listed on the State of California List of Approved Surplus Lines Insurers (LASLI)), by the latest edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, except that the City will accept workers’ compensation insurance from the State Compensation Fund. In the event the City determines that the work or Project Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Firm agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City. Firm shall immediately substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified herein.

5.4 Specific Insurance Provisions and Endorsements. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the City for written approval.

44 1367754.1

5.4.1.2 Primary and Non-Contributing Insurance. Each CGL and Automobile Liability Insurance policy shall be endorsed to be primary, and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers, shall not contribute with this primary insurance.

5.4.1.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Each CGL and Automobile Liability Insurance policy shall contain or be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, or shall specifically allow Firm or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with the requirements set forth in this section to waive their right to recovery prior to a loss. Firm hereby agrees to waive its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, and Firm hereby agrees to require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants or subcontractors.

5.4.2 Notice of Cancellation. Each policy of any type shall be endorsed to provide that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, or modified, or reduced in coverage or in limits, except after thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice has been provided to the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if coverage is to be suspended, voided, or cancelled because of Firm’s failure to pay the insurance premium, the notice provided by the insurer to City shall be by not less than ten (10) calendar days prior written notice. (A statement that notice will be provided "in accordance with the policy terms" or words to that effect is inadequate to meet the requirements of this section.)
Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or self-insured retention must be approved in writing by the City in advance. The decision whether to approve or withhold approval of a deductible or self-insured retention shall be made by the City in the City's sole and absolute discretion.

5.6 Evidence of Coverage. Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, Firm shall deliver certificates of insurance together with original endorsements affecting each of the insurance policies required by this section. Firm shall promptly furnish, at City’s request, copies of actual policies including all declaration pages, endorsements, exclusions and any other policy documents City may require to verify coverage.

5.6.1 Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the City for written approval.

5.6.2 Authorized Signatures. The certificates of insurance and original endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf.

5.6.3 Renewal/Replacement Policies. At least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Firm shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been

45 1367754.1
reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies meeting all requirements of this Agreement.

5.7 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting in any way the indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, or the extent to which Firm may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or property.

5.8 Enforcement of Agreement (Non-Estoppel). Firm acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Firm of any non- compliance with any of the insurance requirements set forth in this section imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

5.9 Insurance for Subconsultants. Firm shall either: (1) include all subconsultants or subcontractors engaged in the performance of Project Services on behalf of Firm as additional named insureds under the Firm’s insurance policies; or (2) Firm shall be responsible for causing its subconsultants or subcontractors to procure and maintain the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of the insurance requirements set forth in this section, including adding the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, as additional insureds to their respective policies.

5.10.2 All insurance coverage and limits provided by Firm and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage.

5.10.3 None of the insurance coverages required herein will be in compliance with the requirements of this section if they include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth herein (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City and approved in writing.

46 1367754.1

5.10.4 Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project.

48 1367754.1
expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

8.5 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to Firm, except that where the continuation of services would constitute a danger to health, safety or general welfare, the period of notice shall be such shorter time as may be appropriate.

Firm shall be liable for any and all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City’s right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 8.5.

8.6.3 If termination is due to the failure of Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.6.2, take over the Project Services and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and Firm shall be liable to the extent that the total direct and indirect costs for completion of the Project Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount, and City may withhold any payments to Firm for the purpose of set-off toward the cost of completion of the Project Services. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Firm shall not limit Firm’s liability for completion of the Project Services as provided herein.

Agreement results in litigation or any non-judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding.

In addition, the Engineering Division spearheads the design and management of all infrastructure projects, when applicable, including major street rehabilitation, facility rehabilitation, park rehabilitation, landscaping, construction site inspections, and technical support to other City departments. The Engineering Division also provides technical expertise regarding street traffic within Los Alamitos, including traffic signals, street lighting, traffic signs,

and the issuance of encroachment and wide-load permits.

The City’s current Engineering services are provided by Willdan Engineering. The City’s current agreement with Willdan Engineering has utilized its final allowable contract extension, which is set to expire on June 30, 2023. If this item is approved by Council, the current agreement will be terminated on March 21, 2023 with the new agreement taking effect on the same date.

Since July 2010, Willdan has provided comprehensive engineering services for the City.

Subsequent to the end of the term for the 2010 agreement, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) in 2015, which once again sought competitive bid responses from qualified firms to provide comprehensive Engineering services.

At the November 2022 meeting, Council approved RFP 2022-05, which sought bids from qualified firms to provide all encompassing Engineering services, including but not limited to consultation on City's utilities and facilities, consultation on development projects/permits, lead and manage the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), provide permit review and inspection services, and technical expertise regarding traffic signals, street lighting, traffic signs, and the issuance of encroachment and wide-load permits.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP), was to solicit and select a firm to provide contract services, which will augment City staff as it relates to Engineering services. Under the direction of the Development Services Department, the selected firm is expected to provide services in a cost-effective, efficient and professional manner, and to provide labor, tools, equipment materials and supplies necessary to complete work in a manner that will meet the City’s requirements.

Subsequent to its approval, staff noticed this solicitation for bids on the City's website and Event News Enterprise on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 and Wednesday, November 30, 2022.

5. INSURANCE

5.1 Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Contractor shall obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, at its sole cost and expense, and in a form and content satisfactory to City, all insurance required under this section. Contractor shall not commence any Project Services unless and until it has provided evidence satisfactory to City that it has secured all insurance required under this section. If Contractor’s existing insurance policies do not meet the insurance requirements set forth herein, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the policies to do so.

5.2 Types of Insurance Required. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, and without limiting the indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement, Contractor shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, including any extension thereof, the following policies of insurance:

5.2.1 Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions Insurance ("PLI").

Contractor shall obtain and maintain a policy of Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance appropriate to Contractor’s profession with per-claim and aggregate limits of no less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). Covered professional services shall specifically include all Project Services to be performed under the Agreement and the policy shall be endorsed to delete any exclusions that may exclude coverage for claims within the minimum PLI limits set forth herein for the Project Services to be performed under this Agreement.

7 5.2.1.1 The PLI policy shall be endorsed to delete any Contractual Liability Exclusion. The PLI shall include contractual liability coverage applicable to this Agreement. The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured, and include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend the insured.

5.2.1.2 If the PLI policy is written on a “claims-made” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three (3) years from the date of the completion of all Project Services provided hereunder (the "PLI Coverage Period"). If any PLI policy is replaced, cancelled, non-renewed, discontinued, or otherwise terminated, or if the limits of a PLI policy are reduced or the available coverage depleted below the required minimum coverage amounts for any reason during the PLI Coverage Period, Contractor shall immediately obtain replacement PLI coverage meeting the requirements of this Section

5.2.1. Such replacement coverage shall satisfy all requirements herein, and shall include coverage for the prior acts or omissions of Contractor during the time period during which any Project Services were performed. The coverage shall be evidenced by either a new policy evidencing no gap in coverage, or by obtaining separate extended “tail” coverage with the present or new carrier or other insurance arrangements providing for complete coverage, either of which shall be subject to the written approval by West-Comm.

5.2.1.3 If the PLI policy is written on an “occurrence” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Project Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later. In the event of termination of the PLI policy during this period, new coverage shall immediately be obtained, and written evidence of the policy shall be immediately provided to West-Comm, to ensure PLI coverage during the entire course of performing the Project services.

5.2.1.4 Contractor shall not perform any Project Services at any time during which required types or amounts of PLI insurance are not in effect, and West-Comm shall have no obligation to pay Contractor for Project Services performed while required PLI insurance is not in effect.

5.2.2 Commercial General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL). Coverage shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CG 00 01 written on a per occurrence basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000.000.00) in the general aggregate.

The policy shall not contain any endorsements or provisions limiting coverage for (1) contractual liability, (2) cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another, or (3) contain any other exclusion contrary to the Agreement.

5.2.3 Automobile Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Automobile Liability Insurance. Coverage shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CA 00 01 written on a per occurrence basis, covering Code 1 (any auto), or if the Contractor has no owned autos, Code 8 (hired) and Code 9 (non-owned), with limits of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each

8 occurrence covering bodily injury and property damage.

5.2.4 Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Workers’ Compensation Insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, and in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California. Contractor agrees to waive and obtain endorsements from its workers’ compensation insurer waiving all subrogation rights under its workers’ compensation insurance policy against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, and to require each of its subconsultants and subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers’ compensation insurance policies. Contractor shall also obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of Employer’s Liability Insurance written on a per occurrence basis with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury or disease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall not be required to procure either Worker’s Compensation Insurance or Employer’s Liability Insurance if Contractor provides written verification to the City that Contractor does not have any employees.

5.3 Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance required by this section shall be issued by a licensed company authorized to transact business in the state by the Department of Insurance for the State of California with a current rating of A-:VII or better (if an admitted carrier), or a current rating of A:X or better (if offered by a non-admitted insurer listed on the State of California List of Approved Surplus Lines Insurers (LASLI)), by the latest edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, except that the City will accept workers’ compensation insurance from the State Compensation Fund. In the event the City determines that the work or Project Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City. Contractor shall immediately substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified herein.

5.4.1.1.1 Additional Insured Endorsements. Additional insured endorsements shall not (1) be restricted to “ongoing operations”, (2) exclude “contractual liability”, (3) restrict coverage to “sole” liability of Contractor, or (4) contain any other exclusions contrary to the Agreement; and, the coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to additional insureds.

9 5.4.1.2 Primary and Non-Contributing Insurance.

At least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Contractor shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been

10 reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies meeting all requirements of this Agreement.

5.7 Requirements Not Limiting.

5.8 Enforcement of Agreement (Non-Estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of any noncompliance with any of the insurance requirements set forth in this section imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage.

5.10.3 None of the insurance coverages required herein will be in compliance with the requirements of this section if they include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth herein (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City and approved in writing.

11 5.10.4 Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project.

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.

8.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies

13 expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

8.6.3 If termination is due to the failure of Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.6.2, take over the Project Services and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total direct and indirect costs for completion of the Project Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount, and City may withhold any payments to Contractor for the purpose of set-off toward the cost of completion of the Project Services. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Contractor shall not limit Contractor’s liability for completion of the Project Services as provided herein.

14 Agreement results in litigation or any non-judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding. To the extent authorized by law, in the event of a dismissal by the plaintiff or petitioner of the litigation or non-judicial proceeding within thirty (30) calendar days of the date set for trial or hearing, the other Party shall be deemed to be the prevailing Party in such litigation or proceeding.

Subject: Proposal for City Engineering and Traffic Engineering Services, RFP No. 2022‐05 The City of Los Alamitos (City) is seeking consultants to provide City Engineering and Traffic Engineering services to support its capital improvement projects and engineering needs. Willdan Engineering (Willdan) has been providing quality on‐call engineering services to 95% of California cities and counties for over 58 years—23 of those years with the City of Los Alamitos.  Ourstaff has worked closely with city staff across California and currently provides municipal engineering related services such as city engineering, traffic engineering, civil engineering design, construction management, and development review services to the County of Orange and the cities of Yorba Linda, Brea, Laguna Niguel, Newport Beach, Paramount, South Gate, Lakewood, Downey, Long Beach, Bell, and La Puente, to name a few. Many of our staff served as Public Works Department staff before joining our firm – providing us with unique insights into critical City challenges and their optimal solutions.

Currently, our staff proudly serves the City of Los Alamitos as the City Engineer, Traffic Engineer, and Interim Public Works Superintendent – providing your City with a collective team of experienced civil engineers, traffic engineers, surveyors, geotechnical engineers, landscape architects, and other specialty engineers and support staff. Willdan is deeply interested in and committed to continuing to provide these services to the City. We bring the following significant and relevant qualifications that will result in successful performance.

Superior City and Traffic Engineers
Willdan's proposed City Engineer, Mr. Chris Kelley, PE,QSD/P, has over 17 years of city/municipal engineering experience— the last three years, as City Engineer for the City of Los Alamitos.

Mr. Kelley is a well‐rounded civil engineer with experience in roadway and drainage design, hydrology and hydraulics, water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs), land development review, project and construction management, project report writing, and utility design and coordination. Mr. Kelley is adept at building the right team around the City’s scope of work and expectations, managing staff and subconsultant teams effectively, and identifying and correcting critical path issues before they impact the budget and schedule.

In addition, Mr. Kelley has worked with multiple new developments within Los Alamitos, facilitating grading and drainage project plan reviews and making sure that offsite street improvements are done in compliance with project plans, including the City’s new luxury apartments along Cerritos Avenue.
 Deep Understanding of Los Alamitos Traffic Engineering Infrastructure and Requirements.  Ourtraffic engineering staff currently provides support to Los Alamitos' City Engineer for traffic designs and studies, including the Old Towne West traffic calming project that provided innovative striping solutions to encourage safer streets for pedestrians and drivers. Our proposed Traffic Engineer, Mr. Farhad Iranitalab, prepared and presented to the Traffic and Planning Commissions the impact of the recent adoption of the new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirementsrelated to Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) instead of Level of Service (LOS) asthe measuring metric to determine transportation impacts from development projects.

Our depth of experience and broad range of capabilities allow Willdan to offer comprehensive resources for efficient and convenientservice.  In addition, our expertise in the engineering and planning fields ensuresinnovative and effective solutions will be applied to all projects undertaken by Willdan.  Many of our specialists have a strong background and an intimate understanding of diverse programs for public agencies.  This expertise provides the foundation for planning, design, inspection, and administration under agency programs, and offers added value with our unique familiarity with state‐  and federally funded programs.   We also place strong emphasis on communication and maintaining personal interaction with the community at large.

One key benefit of selecting Willdan for your City and Traffic Engineer roles is enabling direct access to Willdan’s extensive design staff and experts in selected fields. This direct access approach allows for a streamlined planning process for projects from inception to construction. Project‐related questions and needs can be answered on the spot and project details can be worked out from a simple email, phone conversation, video conference or one‐on‐ one discussion as our primary office is in Orange County, minutes from City Hall. Willdan utilizes a management approach, whereby each assignment is undertaken by a project team. Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff with the background, experience, and availability best suited for the assignment. Our approach to serve the City on this contract is based on our 58‐year history of serving public agencies.

For this assignment, Willdan’s City Engineer Mr. Chris Kelley, PE, QSD/P, will be the single point of contact for the City’s staff and will convey all important matters to the project team as appropriate. Mr. Kelley will serve the City at City Hall for approximately 30 ‐ 40 hours per week as specified in the RFP.

Willdan has designated a city engineering team to provide as‐needed support to the City for specific project/task work orders. The fundamental goal of Willdan's team is to provide the City with the highest level of support in completing the as‐needed special tasks. This will require close personal coordination between Willdan and the City.

To accomplish this, we will conduct interactive meetings with City staff throughout the course of each assignment to ensure all issues are addressed. Our team has a broad variety of talent and experience in city engineering; development review; public works permitting and inspection; capital improvement project design, inspection, and contract administration; facilities maintenance and repair; surveying; and soils investigation. Combined with our understanding of the desired services and our experience with the City of Los Alamitos, Willdan can assist the City with successful completion of all city engineering matters.

Willdan will commit the appropriate staff to ensure specific projects, as well as the overall contract, are successful.

Our intended approach is to fully understand each project requested by the City, to review the scope of work for each project in detail with the City, agree on the course or extent of the best‐suited action, and proceed accordingly.

Having successfully completed many other assignments of this type for the City of Los Alamitos and other agencies in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, Willdan's proposed team understands City processes and possesses the technical and communication skills that are vital to ensuring each task receives the necessary attention, objectives are met, schedules are adhered to, and each task stays on budget. Willdan's management approach has been proven on past assignments for the City to be effective in delivering services on time, within budget, and to the City’s satisfaction.

Methodology
Willdan's methodology focuses heavily on client service and communications. As a firm with a strong public agency orientation, many of our client relationships are long term and ones in which our staff develops intimate familiarity with City staff since we very often serve as an extension of City staff. As such, it is extremely important that our presence on each assignment is seamless.

Willdan's staff assigned as extension of city staff, such as City Engineer, on a routine or on‐call contract basis, most often work independently of the project team, since they are generally working directly for and with City staff as city staff. In this instance, the project team’s role is subservient to the primary assignment and only comes into play on a support basis or on a project‐specific basis, such as for additional services for capital improvement project design, reviewing tract and parcel maps, inspection services, construction management, and traffic engineering studies.

Technical Approach
Upon commencement of this assignment, Willdan’s City Engineer, Mr. Chris Kelley, PE, QSD/P, will meet with City staff to discuss the project assignment in more detail. Based upon the City’s needs, the routine hours at the City for Mr. Kelley are flexible and can be adjusted to various combinationsto balance coverage of work as well as budgetary considerations. For this contract, the City Engineer will report to the Director of Public Works. Mr. Kelley’s approach to the assignment will depend largely upon the specific needs of the City at any given time; however, he will generally start each day with a review of ongoing work efforts, new work efforts that have been assigned, and discussion with City staff. Since he is accustomed to city engineer assignments, many of these efforts will be self‐ directed, except as otherwise given general or specific direction from the City, as deemed appropriate.

For work efforts while at the City, such as project management, technical advice, and preparation of City Council agenda items, Mr. Kelley will work closely with City staff to coordinate specific tasks and to provide appropriate input when needed. He will make necessary contacts with private developers, other public agencies, and other City departments on an as‐needed basis. To understand all issues relating more fully to specific projects, Mr. Kelley will research available records at the City, make field reviews as appropriate, and hold discussions with City staff. At the end of each day, he will review the events of the day, schedule any remaining needed efforts by City staff, and establish a preliminary list of efforts for his next regularly scheduled day at the City.

From time to time, the city engineer duties may require Mr. Kelley to be contacted while not at the City. In such cases he will routinely check for messages, both at the City and at Willdan, to keep current with ongoing issues and to formulate and deliver timely responses. This may require him to coordinate with or assign work efforts to City or Willdan staff. Whenever feasible, he will also be available for direct communication while he is away from the City's office.

Our project approach begins with designating a complete project management team.  If selected by the City, and upon written request from the City Project Administrator, Willdan will provide a letter proposal to the City for the specific servicesrequested by the City for each assignment. Each project management team will be led by a principal representative with full authority to direct operations and commit resources.   In addition to the principal representative, the management team will include expert staff specializing in the type of service requested.  Our array of in‐house experts allows Willdan to develop a specialized management team for each requested project.  In addition, Willdan’s size gives us the flexibility to undertake large projects and projects on a compressed time schedule.  If a project arisesthatrequiresimmediate or extra attention, Willdan’sflexibility allowstasksto be rapidly delegated to an expanded team of staff members.  This ensures that the project will receive appropriate attention to detail and be completed in a timely fashion.

The first task of Willdan’s delegated project management team will be to establish a course of action.  This task will begin by coordinating with the City to identify specific project objectives.  With these objectives in mind, Willdan’s experienced professionals will actively identify areas of need and design solutions to address these needs.  Our

City of Los Alamitos RFP No. 2022‐05
Proposal for City Engineering and Traffic Engineering Services Page | 6
policy of open and often client coordination will ensure the established course of action and will be consistent with the City’s goals.

Once the course of action is established, Willdan will develop a project schedule.  Each project schedule will be developed with the City’s project completion date in mind and will include a critical path and measurable milestones to ensure the project completion date is met.  All project schedules will be submitted to the City to guarantee consistency with the City’s timeline.  In enacting and completing the course of action, Willdan strives to exceed client expectations for quality of work.  Willdan has a history of completing projects on time, within budget, and beyond industry standards.  Willdan is committed to providing this level of service to the City.  As such, after each project is completed, Willdan will follow‐up with the City to gather feedback on the City’s satisfaction with the project, and to identify methods to improve future service.

However, should the need arrive, Willdan maintains a database of subconsultant firms – including certified disadvantaged business enterprise firms. These firms provide a wide range ofservicesfrom traffic countsto bridge engineering review. We have worked with these subconsultants in the past and will submit their qualifications to the City for approval to assist the City in meeting DBE goals for state‐ or federally funded projects. Willdan acknowledges and understands that changes to any team member or subconsultant must be approved in writing by the City.

City of Los Alamitos RFP No. 2022‐05
Proposal for City Engineering and Traffic Engineering Services 36 Quality Control
Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring sound engineering practices and quality deliverables are produced for our clients. In accordance with Willdan's Quality Assurance/Control Manual, Mr. Adel Freij, PE will serve as the Quality Assurance Advisor. Project‐specific quality assurance activities will be planned at the beginning of the project. Typical QA/QC activities include assigning the appropriate technical staff to the project, selecting the proper project technical approach, establishing a project schedule that meets internal Willdan and City deadlines, and determining the proper level of QA/QC review.

There are four review levels for project deliverables:
 Level 1 – Peer review only
 Level 2 – Peer review and editorial review (documents)  Level 3 – Peer review, editorial review, and engineer review  Level 4 – All elements of Level 3 plus additional reviews by specific technical experts The two major components of the quality assurance review are technical and communication reviews. A Level 3 review will be performed on engineering design plans,specifications, and cost estimate to ensure the design is sound, constructible, and appropriate for the intended use and to confirm deliverables meet the scope of work requirements. This process involves reviews by independent designers and the Project Manager prior to submittal for formal review under the agreed‐upon project‐specific quality assurance plan. Project documents, including letters and correspondence, are subject to a Level 2.

Project Controls
Willdan’s project control system is designed to provide a coordinated effort between all task facets of a project in the framework of the pre‐established masterschedule, budget controls, and reporting system.  The project control system provides an objective measure of performance integrating the following functions:

The work breakdown structure subdivides the work into
manageable segments and is the basis for our project
managers’ project control plan. The work breakdown
structure is tailored to specific project needs, but generally has typical elements, including codes to identify work
segments and engineering disciplines, weekly reports, and project resources schedule.

To monitor labor costs, each person performing work on a project completes a weekly timecard that identifies the project, segment of work, and engineering discipline by code.  Man‐hour summary reports are developed weekly from the timecards and are issued to our project manager for review.  Each project manager then updates the schedule.  This simple system provides accountability for Willdan’s payroll, billings, and progress reporting and serves as the basis for all cost‐related project management data.

Cost Controls
The budget control system is prepared in accordance with the work breakdown structure.   The budget becomes the control against which performance is measured.   The budget is time phased by combining project master scheduling data with budget data.   Actual costs are compared with budgeted costs and variances analyzed.  Deviations between planned and actual cost can then be evaluated to forecast and control future work.

Beginning with electronic timekeeping, project hours are assigned to the appropriate tasks and subtasks and booked as work‐in‐process. Pre‐bill reports are generated that identify the hours to be billed along with any other direct charges to the project.  This is the information used to determine each month's invoicing. Once hours and charges are billed, they are shifted from Work‐in‐Process to Accounts Receivable to ensure that billed hours are inactivated. Monitoring is easily accomplished through team member progress updates and comparisons between the scope of work, schedule, and budget.

Schedule Controls
A critical path method master schedule will be prepared following the notice to proceed. The schedule will identify major items of work and will be the vehicle for monitoring, controlling, and tracking progress. The schedule will be updated monthly to reflect actual and forecasted completions. This allows our project managers to anticipate and forecast potential issues and develop an advanced strategy to proactively mitigate problems before they impact the schedule.

If it is determined that a project is falling behind schedule, project managers meet with the respective team members, identify the problem, and ensure that extra support and effort are expended to bring the project back on schedule. Willdan will keep City staff informed of the overall schedule, including advanced notification of any necessary adjustments or actions to remain on track. Project managers monitor all progress on a weekly basis.

Cost Proposal
As requested, we are providing the following hourly rates.  A more detailed hourly rate schedule is also attached in the appendix. These rates are reduced from ourstandard fee schedule based on the longstanding working relationship we have with the City of Los Alamitos.

Job Description Hourly Rate
City Engineer $160
Geotechnical Manager $185
Landscape Architect $175
Labor Compliance Manager $165
Traffic Engineer $160
Project Manager $158
Public Works Superintendent $150
No subconsultants are expected to be necessary at this time. Should one be needed at a later date, their respective rates will be provided at that time.
