Traffic Signal Update Project | 13
C. WORK PLAN
INTRODUCTION
Management and inspection of the Traffic Signal Update Project will require a seasoned team with experience working within the public right-of-way on traffic signal upgrade projects. Our team is just that, having successfully managed countless projects with similar scopes of work integrated into large pavement rehabilitation projects within central valley and Northern California. Our experience and lessons learned from previous projects will keep construction progressing smoothly, on time, and within budget. We consider ourselves a public stakeholder because the project is located within four miles of our office.
Through the duration of this project, the staff we are proposing do not have any scheduled time off and will be available from pre-construction through closeout. Additionally, Justin Wehling, Marina Chekmareva, PE. QSD/P, and Nathan Tatum will be available by phone and if a call is missed, a response will be returned on the same business day.
Task 1.1 – Project Manager, Justin Wehling, will lead our team in managing your project. He has extensive experience performing and managing high-profile projects within the city right-of-way, including Manteca. Justin will coordinate and supervise our staff and will provide oversight of the team to maintain focus on the project’s most important technical elements. Justin will prepare and submit monthly project progress reports to the City’s Project Manager.
Justin will be supported in the office and field by the Resident Engineer, Marina Chekmareva, PE. QSD/P. As a DBE and the founder of Marina Construction Management, Inc. (MCM),
she has many years of experience managing and inspecting roadway improvement projects that include traffic signal upgrade. Marina is an efficient and effective collaborator with project stakeholders and is considered an expert in managing complex projects.
Construction Inspector, Nathan Tatum is a professional with 21 years of experience providing hands-on and technical expertise in overhead and underground dry utility construction. Nathan is a versatile construction inspector with significant experience managing many projects within the city’s right-of-way. He will coordinate daily with the contractor and be onsite full time to inspect and document the installation of the new system and equipment. Nathan is always thinking ahead of the contractor and anticipating upcoming task.
Task 2.1 – Pre-Construction Conference. Marina will create a detailed pre-construction meeting agenda, including items such as work hours, labor compliance, procedures for submittals and RFIs, and other key items and provide to the City for review and input. Once approved, we will hold a pre-construction meeting with all relevant stakeholders. In this meeting, we will establish and discuss project roles and responsibilities, and lines of communication. TRC will notify the contractor to apply for their Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) permit. TRC will also discuss this with the contractor about the completion of the Wireless Site Survey Test before any procurement of the wireless antennas systems as specified. TRC will use Procore for the project and will provide access to all team members for project-related documents through the duration of the project on both computer and smart phone. Throughout the project, the contractor will upload submittals and RFIs, and the review and response will be tracked through each stage of processing with the system providing date and time stamping to help identify bottlenecks and maintain accountability. This will expedite processing of each submittal and RFI throughout the process while being attentive to all project requirements and details.
Task 2.2 – Labor Compliance. Marina will spot check certified payroll ensuring the contractor is compliant with the applicable Prevailing Wage Determination and federal Davis Bacon rules, EEO and DBE requirements, and federal regulations. Additionally, our team will perform monthly labor compliance interviews. Any discrepancies will be reported to the City in a timely manner as noted in Section 3.17 of the RFP.
Task 2.3 – Submittal of Certified Payroll. Certified payroll will be submitted directly to the Department of Industrial Relations per project specifications. We will review verification of submission provided by the contractor.
Task 2.4 – Constructability Review. Our services will begin with Justin, Marina, and Nathan performing a thorough site review to observe and document existing conditions, including confirming that the plans depict actual field conditions prior to the start of construction. We will also perform a review of project documents and complete a constructability review, redlining and documenting any items that may become issues during construction, as required, within one week of our notice-to-proceed. A detailed list and red lines will be created and provide to the City’s project manager and design engineer noting potential conflicts, constructability issues, and discrepancies with the engineer’s estimate and bid items. This in-depth review performed by our key project staff will apply our experience to identify solutions to the possible discrepancies which reduces the potential for schedule delays and cost overruns.
Task 2.5 – Document Control and Review. We will use Procore, the construction management information system, for organizing, tracking, and managing project documents in accordance with Caltrans standards, and managing all submittals including traffic control plans, staging plans, RFIs, permits and agreements, and the baseline schedule/updates. Once Marina has completed her initial review for completeness and conformance with the project documents, they will forward their notes to the City for a final review and approval prior to returning to contractor. Premier Site Services will perform submittal review for all fiber materials and testing plans provided by the contractor. Project documents including weekly statements of working days, electronic correspondence, daily inspection reports (DIRs), and photo logs will be created, stored, and maintained in Procore for the duration of the project. At the completion of the project, the electronic files created in Procore will be extracted and provided to the City.
Task 2.6 – Construction Schedule. Marina will review the contractor’s baseline schedule for completeness, sequence logic, critical tasks, float, and completeness reflecting contract requirements and verifying that the activities and durations meet the contract requirements and milestones.
Task 2.7 – Safety Management. Marina and Nathan will review and monitor the contractor’s safety program as required by Cal-OSHA to verify implementation in accordance with the submitted contractor safety program and industry standards. Any deficiencies identified on the site will be immediately brought to the attention of the contractor’s safety representative. In situations of imminent danger, we will immediately take steps to correct the situation, including suspension of unsafe work activities.

Task 3.1 – On-Site Quality Assurance/Control Inspection. Nathan will be full-time onsite collaborating with the contractor to achieve a high-quality product, constructed in accordance with the project documents and industry standards. He will meet with the contractor foreman daily before the start of the shift to discuss the day’s operation work schedule. Nathan will inspect and monitor the contractor’s quality control procedures against the contract documents to confirm that the work performed is compliant and of acceptable quality. Observations will be documented in a detailed daily report to document project conditions and actual daily quantities. Photographs will be included in the daily report to document existing conditions, work activities, and construction progress. We will work with the contractor to address discrepancies making sure they are resolved promptly and tracked in Procore. Justin will provide internal quality control reviews and verify that we are following our approved procedures while supporting our team. If an issue arises, TRC will review the issue and develop a recommended solution that meets contract requirement. Field orders will be drafted by Marina and sent to the City for final review and approval before transmitting to the contractor.
Task 3.2 – Meetings. Justin and Marina will conduct weekly meetings with attendance options for stakeholders via Microsoft Teams. Topics discussed during weekly meetings include project progress, both current and future scheduling, RFIs, submittals, and public notification, potential change orders, quality, and pay estimates. These meetings will maintain open communication between all team members. This will allow us to think ahead of the contractor, anticipate upcoming work, and provide reminders, when necessary, to complete submittals ahead of schedule to reduce the potential for delays. In addition, we will conduct environmental coordination and safety meetings to deliver compliance and prevent violations and fines.
UPRR: TRC will review and follow up with the contractor to submit an encroachment permit application to Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) in order for the contractor to complete the work as shown on sheets SIC-3 and SIC-5.
Task 3.3 – Monthly Status Reports. Justin and/or Marina will attend monthly status report meetings with the City. They will prepare monthly reports highlighting project progress, CCOs, cost issues, and schedule to keep all stakeholders informed of project status and potential issues.
Task 3.4 – Construction Schedule. Justin and Marina will monitor the contractor’s baseline schedule, monthly updates, and three-week look-ahead.
These schedules will be reviewed and compared against the approved project schedule to verify activities and durations meet the contract requirements and milestones are achieved. If delays are requested by the contractor or the schedule slips, we will request and review a time-impact-analysis and recovery schedule.
Task 3.5 – Cost Control. Justin and Marina will monitor project funding and project budgets. They will review contract item payments, material quantities, and change order payments.
Task 3.6 – Schedule of Values. Marina will review the contractor’s SOV to identify potential frontloading and verify that line items are acceptable and can be easily tracked for monthly progress payments.
Task 3.7 – Progress Payments. Marina will evaluate the contractor’s monthly progress payment requests. She will compare requested quantities to the quantities measured in the field and tracked on DIRs or quantity sheets and the approved SOV. Any discrepancies will be resolved prior to the progress billing submitted to the City for final review and payment.
Task 3.8 – Change Orders. Marina will review all potential change orders for contractual and technical merit. She will prepare an independent cost estimate and schedule analysis of work. Her review will include input from appropriate support staff for schedule, technical review, and material testing results. Marina will communicate with the City throughout the negotiations with the contractor ensuring the City’s acceptance of the change and approval of pricing prior to any agreement or approval of the contractor’s request. Once negotiations are complete, Marina will provide the City with a complete change order for review and final approval including all supporting documents. Work will not be authorized or directed until approvals are obtained.
Task 3.9 – Certificates of Compliance. Material brought to the job will be assessed for compliance to the approved submittal, the contract requirements, and the Buy America compliance per the specifications. During inspection, certificates will be photographed and attached to daily inspection report. Material tags will be collected, and the originals will be provided to the City at project completion.
Task 3.10 – Traffic Management. Marina and Nathan will coordinate, process, and obtain approval for lane closure requests through the City, in addition to monitoring the contractor’s traffic control plan to make sure there are no conflicts with other adjacent projects. Lane closures will be monitored to make sure traffic control is only in place Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am - 5:00pm unless previously approved by the City.
Adjustments, including sign and flagger locations and closure lengths, will be coordinated in the field to improve safety and efficiency, and will be updated on the approved plan.
Task 3.11 – Public Notification. We understand the City will provide public notification through your website and social media platforms. TRC will review residential and business notifications, if requested, to determine compliance with the project contract documents.
Task 3.12 – Special Provisions Compliance/Storm Water Pollution Prevention.
Marina and Nathan will perform oversight of the contractor’s implementation of SWPPP or WPCP, for compliance with the contract documents and the General Permit. Nathan will perform inspections of BMs in the field to verify both the implantation and proper maintenance throughout the duration of project. Marina will perform routine checks and make sure the contractor meets requirements such as regular inspections.
Task 4 – Quality Assurance and Materials Testing

Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items.

ARTICLE XVII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. CONSULTANT, subrecipient (LOCAL AGENCY), or subconsultant shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26).
To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR 26.5, the LOCAL AGENCY shows a contract goal for DBEs. CONSULTANT shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.
CONSULTANT shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate Good Faith Efforts (GFE) to meet this goal. It is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and work code applicable to the type of work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search.
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 16%.
Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
ATTACHMENT 3
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
May 2023
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):
CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.

Upon work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-F: Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors and submit it to the LOCAL AGENCY within 90 days of contract acceptance. The LOCAL AGENCY will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The LOCAL AGENCY will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.
In the LOCAL AGENCY’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the LOCAL AGENCY must display both commitments and attainments.
G. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form. The DBE value of work will only count toward the DBE commitment if the DBE performs a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.
CONSULTANT must perform CUF evaluation for each DBE working on a federal-aid contract, with or without a DBE goal. Perform a CUF evaluation at the beginning of the DBE’s work and continue to monitor the performance of CUF for the duration of the project.
CONSULTANT must provide written notification to the LOCAL AGENCY at least 15 days in advance of each DBE's initial performance of work or supplying materials for the Contract. The notification must include the DBE's name, work the DBE will perform on the contract, and the location, date, and time of where their work will take place.
Within 10 days of a DBE initially performing work or supplying materials on the Contract, CONSULTANT shall submit to the LPA the initial evaluation and validation of DBE performance of a CUF using the LAPM 9-J: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. Include the following information with the submittal:
Subcontract agreement with the DBE
Purchase orders
Bills of lading
Invoices
Proof of payment
CONSULTANT must monitor all DBE’s performance of CUF by conducting quarterly evaluations and validations throughout their duration of work on the Contract using the LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. CONSULTANT must submit to the LOCAL AGENCY ATTACHMENT 3
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
May 2023
these quarterly evaluations and validations by the 5th of the month for the previous three months of work.
CONSULTANT must notify the LOCAL AGENCY immediately if they believe the DBE may not be performing a CUF.
The LOCAL AGENCY will verify DBEs performance of CUF by reviewing the initial and quarterly submissions of LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation, submitted supporting information, field observations, and through any additional LOCAL AGENCY evaluations. The LOCAL AGENCY must evaluate DBEs and their CUF performance throughout the duration of a Contract. The LOCAL AGENCY will provide written notice to the CONSULTANT and the DBE at least two (2) business days prior to any evaluation. The CONSULTANT and the DBE must participate in the evaluation. Upon completing the evaluation, the LOCAL AGENCY must share the evaluation results with the CONSULTANT and the DBE. An evaluation could include items that must be remedied upon receipt. If the LOCAL AGENCY determines the DBE is not performing a CUF, the CONSULTANT must suspend performance of the noncompliant work.
CONSULTANT and DBEs must submit any additional CUF related records and documents within five (5) business days of LOCAL AGENCY’s request such as:
Proof of ownership or lease and rental agreements for equipment Tax records
Employee rosters
Certified payroll records
Inventory rosters
Failure to submit required DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation forms or requested records and documents can result in withholding of payment for the value of work completed by the DBE.
If CONSULTANT and/or the LOCAL AGENCY determine that a listed DBE is not performing a CUF in performance of their DBE committed work, CONSULTANT must immediately suspend performance of the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY may deny payment for the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY will ask the CONSULTANT to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to the LOCAL AGENGY within five (5) days of the noncompliant CUF determination. The CAP must identify how the CONSULTANT will correct the noncompliance findings for the remaining portion of the DBE's work. LOCAL AGENCY has five (5) days to review the CAP in conjunction with the CONSULTANT’s review. The CONSULTANT must implement the CAP within five (5) days of the LOCAL AGENCY's approval. The LOCAL AGENCY will then authorize the prior noncompliant portion of work for the DBE's committed work.
If corrective actions cannot be accomplished to ensure the DBE performs a commercially useful function on the Contract, CONSULTANT may have good cause to request termination of the DBE.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work ATTACHMENT 3
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R

of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
L. For projects awarded on or after March 1, 2020, but before September 1, 2023: after submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no later than the 10th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant must complete and email Exhibit 9-F:

For projects awarded on or after September 1, 2023: Exhibit 9-F is no longer required. Instead, by the 15th of the month following the month of any payment(s), the CONSULTANT must now submit Exhibit 9-P to the LOCAL AGENCY administering the contract.
