City of Merced: Request for Qualifications for On-Call Consultation Services

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
NV5 has been providing construction management (CM) and inspection services in the Central Valley and Northern California since the 1970s. We specialize in both staff augmentation and full service turnkey CM project delivery. In addition, our staff has worked with local cities and counties, and we understand the local specifications and requirements. Currently, we have 130+ construction management staff assigned in the Central Valley. This large number of staff provides us with an exceptional resource, and will assist us with providing the City with the appropriate personnel for each task order. Our team includes former Caltrans Construction Senior Engineers, Resident Engineers, and Structure Representatives. We also provide structure and roadway inspectors, materials testers, office engineers, project administrators, Qualified SWPPP Practitioners (QSPs), and Qualified SWPPP Developers (QSDs). We have served as construction managers and provided inspections for hundreds of local projects. Some of our clients include Fresno County Transportation Authority, Caltrans District 6, Merced County, Stanislaus County, and the City of Bakersfield, just to name a few.

Long recognized for our innovative contributions to the industry, we provide expert construction management, inspection, and materials testing services; contract administration support; constructability and PS&E design review; change order review; CPM schedule management; claims analysis; and the preparation of final estimates.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
NV5 utilizes project management practices to assist with monitoring timelines and budget, as we strive to meet deadlines with quality deliverables. John Atkinson, Project Manager and Director of Materials Testing, will serve as the City of Merced point of contact. He will supervise the assigned field and laboratory staff.

Guillaume Gau, PE, GE, SVP, will serve as the principal-in-charge.

We believe that keeping the same staff working on a project from beginning to end promotes continuity and quality control. Guillaume and John will monitor the project schedules and budgets on a daily and weekly basis. When appropriate, they will conduct weekly progress meetings with the assigned staff to identify potential problems and their solutions, provide rapid responses to requests for information and review of submittals, and coordinate the preparation of interim and final reports for construction quality assurance.

NV5's internal quality control (QC) system is intended to promote field and laboratory services that are accurate, on time, and within budget. QC is performed throughout a project and does not consist solely of review after a service is performed. QC is the internal monitoring, analysis, and action performed by project team members, including planning, training, clear decisions and directions, supervision, and timely revien and documentation. NV5 considers the following characteristics as indicators of quality:
• Complete and in accordance with the proposed scope of services, which is developed with the active involvement of the City.
• Clear, understandable, and concise reporting.
• Correctly and accurately reflecting the conditions encountered at the time testing and observation. • Consistent with applicable codes and regulatory requirements, good engineering practice, and previous work performed by NV5.
• Timely reporting, submitted by email and to the project file transfer site in accordance with the project schedule developed with the active involvement of the City.

NV5 | 11

ALIFORNIA City of Merced: Request for Qualifications for On-Call Consultation Services cirr
Our QC Manual and practices include control of monitoring and measuring devices, and quality assurance (QA) evaluation of test data. This review is required to verify that the data are of sufficient quality to support project documentation. Data review and validation is performed in the field and office to verify precision, accuracy, representative-ness, completeness, comparability, and sensitivity. We appreciate and encourage client feedback regarding our quality, and it helps us to continually improve our services.

When NV5 receives a request for proposal to complete any project, we will first work with the City representative to set expectations. After this discussion, we will establish a project specific scope of work and fee proposal based on the expectations and needs of the project. We understand fees will be on an hourly basis per a predetermined hourly rate. After a scope is developed, NV5 will review it with the City, involved consultants and make any adjustments as needed to develop a final written scope of services specific to the project.

Upon preparation of an individual project scope of work and receiving authorization to proceed, NV5 will schedule the field and/or laboratory testing services. Special inspection and materials testing will be completed in accordance with the City of Merced construction standards, the California Building Code, and/or Caltrans standards. Field and laboratory reports will be distributed to designated individuals as they are produced for use by the City's representatives to verify that work was completed in accordance with the plans and specifications.

City of Merced: Request for Qualifications for On-Call Consultation Services As established in the NV5 Communications Plan, our communications must be timely, clear, consistent, respectful and credible. We believe that successful projects do not happen by chance, but are the result of good communication. Effective communication with clients, sub-contractors, and agency personnel is based on our long-standing working relationships and trust we have established by our responsiveness, reputation and professionalism

RESPONSE TIME
Because we have staff in the local area and because we have established a local laboratory, we can typically respond to a request for engineering, materials testing or special inspection on the day of the request. In order to minimize demand for services occurring on short notice, John Atkinson, Director of Materials Testing and Inspection, proposes to meet with City staff on a quarterly basis. We will use this time to discuss ongoing and upcoming projects for which the City might require materials testing services.

These discussions will allow City staff and NV5 to identify any preliminary concerns or challenges associated with the projects and develop potential solutions or alternatives that will lead to project success. Our staff will be available to be on site full time or periodically, as needed. We are prepared, when necessary, to have more than one staff person on a project as required to satisfy the projects demands at any given time.

All of our inspectors are certified in numerous procedures. NV5 can also augment our local staff with qualified staff from adjacent offices in order to meet project demands - with no additional cost to the City.

We typically request 48 hours' notice when possible and will meet tighter schedules when projects require.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Our laboratory adheres to a lab specific Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) that meets or exceeds the requirements stipulated in ASTM 329, AASHTO R18, Federal Highways Construction Manual and Caltrans Independent Assurance Manual, a copy of which is available upon request. The purpose of NV5's QAP is to make certain that the geotechnical testing, construction materials, and workmanship incorporated into state and municipal construction projects conform to contract specifications.

The laboratory and field supervisor perform an internal audit/review every six months (at a minimum) to determine if policies and procedures established by the QAP are being followed. Our QAP encompasses training and organizational responsibilities from management to technician, safety, certification of technical staff, equipment calibration and maintenance, best practices, and standard operating procedures.

Records pertaining to testing, equipment calibration and certification, internal quality system reviews, management reviews, proficiency sample testing, and technician training/evaluation are retained for a minimum of three years. Equipment is routinely assessed to verify calibration and proper working order.

NV5 also implements the management and administrative guidelines established in our Laboratory Procedures and Quality Control Manual (QCM). At a minimum, the QCM is reviewed on an annual basis by the laboratory and field supervisor. The QCM is also reviewed at times when it becomes evident that revisions to a policy or procedure are needed to improve the effectiveness of the program. NV5 uses federal, state, and industry guidelines, along with in-house standards, to assure that appropriate observation, testing, and inspection services are provided in a timely, professional, and efficient manner.

TESTING METHODOLOGY
During earthwork grading operations, soil, structural fill, and aggregate materials will be sampled and tested in accordance with the City Standards and the approved plans and specifications. NV5's responsible engineer and engineering technician will perform the following CQA engineering services:

* OUR QUALIFICATIONS
• Our primary objective is to ensure that the City of Merced transportation projects continue to reflect the community's needs and concerns. We use the latest research and innovative technology to better understand and forecast transportation trends in our communities, and we use this information to develop plans that meet the needs of all transportation system users. From pedestrian safety to transit planning to whole transportation master plans, our engineers strive to enhance circulation, increase safety, and provide better transportation solutions for our clients. We are passionate about transportation because we know innovative transportation engineering can benefit the people where we live and work.

Our project manager and assorted personnel have extensive experience providing traffic engineering services to municipalities and government agencies throughout California. James Miller, PE, our project manager for this contract, has completed over 300 contracts in California within the past 15 years. He has completed many as-needed and on-call contract tasks for the City of San Diego, Port of San Diego, City of Carisbad, National City, and Caltrans to name a few. ... NV5's rich history of providing traffic engineering and traffic data collection has resulted in a complete understanding of Federal, _ State, regional, and local regulations as well as design standards and best practices. Our knowledge of the Federal document, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), has been an integral part of every project completed in the region. California's - version of the MUTCD resides in our offices and is routinely used when preparing plans and reports for the multiple agencies we've . worked as a consultant. Many agencies also have their own design standards as well as CAD drafting standards that have been followed on many projects. Recently, topics such as Complete Streets, Active Transportation, and Vision Zero have become the -focus of state, regional, and local agencies. Our experienced staff and team members are fully capable and knowledgeable on - these topics and how they interact with the communities' primary goals. The following features have made us uniquely qualified and reliable to undertake this project:

NV5's many offices are integrated to one common server which allows staff in all the offices to work on projects concurrently and effectively. Communication between our offices is conducted via telephone, e-mail, and face-to-face meetings. Our managers also meet monthly to discuss and review overall company work load, schedules, and balance staff resources.

We use Microsoft Project to develop project schedules for our clients. We also employ internal project schedule tracking procedures using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to facilitate communication between staff engineers and the project manager.

NV5's Quality Assurance plan policy is followed for every project and by all planning and engineering staff. NV5 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.

The following outlines the technical approach and scope of work that NV5 will undertake in generating thorough and comprehensive studies, PS&E, and bid documents for the City of Merced. With our approach, the City will obtain the highest value from the work of NV5 and our team. This project approach is designed to provide services from project initiation through project completion, thereby .....
providing the City with a seamless set of management and engineering services to complete the project.

TRAFFIC STRIPING PLANS
NV5 shall prepare separate signing and striping plans for this project. Signing and striping plans shall be prepared at a scale of striping, signing, pavement markings, pavement markers, pavement text, delineators, as well as other pertinent construction notes, and details drafted per City Standard Plans and meet the latest California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

SIGNAL DESIGN, MODIFICATION, AND TIMING
NV5 will prepare traffic signal installation/modification plans at a scale of 1"=20'. The traffic signal modification/installation plans will provide details necessary for the construction of a traffic signal modification/installation. At minimum, the plans will include, but are not limited to, replacement and/or installation of traffic signal poles, conduits, wires, cables, interconnect, fiber optic cable, loops, pull boxes, service equipment, controller equipment, battery back-up system, enclosures, electrical feed, luminaries, and mast arm signs as well as the necessary construction notes, schedules, phasing diagram, and details.

Evaluation of Scenarios: NV5 will develop morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volumes for the scenarios that may include:
• Existing Year Traffic Condition (identify any existing deficiencies) • Project Opening Year Base plus Other Proposed Projects Traffic Condition • Project Opening Year Base plus Other Projects plus Project Traffic Condition • Project Opening Year Base plus Other Projects plus Project Traffic Condition with Mitigation, if necessary • Project Build-out Year Traffic Condition
• Project Build-out Year plus Project Traffic Condition • Project Build-out Year plus Project with Mitigation, if necessary

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDIES
Traffic impact analysis projects are a strong component of our transportation planning practice. We have prepared hundreds following state, regional, and local guidelines and have also completed reviews of studies on behalf of our clients. The steps that -
will be followed to complete or review a traffic impact study include:
• Project Coordination: NV5 will coordinate with the City and consultants to have a scoping memo prepared that describes the report assumptions, including project trip generation and trip distribution. • Data Collection: Collection of morning and afternoon peak hour traffic turning movement counts at intersections which are anticipated to experience the determined threshold peak hour increase as a result of proposed development. • Trip Generation and Distribution: Calculate trips from ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition. NV5 will develop a trip distribution pattern for the projects based on the geographic conditions or from use of the SANDAG travel demand model. • LOS Calculations: Perform the Level of Service (LOS) calculations that will be based on City-approved capacity analysis methodologies (i.e. the latest version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) shall be the basis for operational delay (LOS) calculations for signalized and unsignalized intersections). We are familiar with level of service calculations and conducting micro simulations using software as Traffix, Synchro, Vistro, and VISSIM. - 11
• VMT and TDM: As of 7/1/20, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VT) is the new methodology to analyze transportation impacts for CEQA purposes. NV5 team members have extensive experience generating VMT for various modes as well as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs for projects aiming to lower their overall VMT. • Site Access and circulation: Review the proposed site plan and provide recommendations regarding site access and circulation, and parking
• Report preparation: Prepare and submit a draft traffic study to the project team members for review that details all of the above-mentioned items, our analysis, findings and conclusions. - TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Traffic operations analysis are completed for a corridor, an intersection, Klatel --.
or a defined area. Operational analysis can be used to identify existing s.4 44:
conditions, or to determine the impacts to traffic operations with complete Mes.. streets changes such as bicycle lanes, on-street parking changes, new signal systems and many more traffic management strategies.

To effectively analyze traffic flow and conditions, traffic count data will be 411
used to analyze intersection level of service and operation. We have used a number of tools to evaluate traffic operations, including microscopic simulation models, corridor analysis models, and signal/intersection радо operations software such as Synchro.

TESTING SIGNAL TIMING AND COORDINATION IN SYNCHRO
The approach described above will allow us to provide a strong assessment of roadway levels of service (LOS), and traffic speed, flow, delay, density, and queuing.

Traffic management strategies that can be assessed on Merced intersections and corridors include signal timing changes, adding turn lanes, or reconfiguring an intersection as a roundabout. The Caltrans ICE policy is based on that premise. NV5 uses available software such as Synchro, + Torus, and Sidra to evaluate intersection and corridor operation for existing ... =..
and potential improvement opportunities. Where intersection modification or reconstruction may offer operational and/or safety advantages, we will prepare conceptual plan sketches to evaluate feasibility and probable construction costs.

WORKSITE TRAFFIC CONTROL AND OPERATIONS
NV5 shall prepare worksite traffic control and detour plans for the project - CAPS
in accordance with the latest edition of the Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, Work Area Traffic Control Handbook Manual standards.

California MUTCD, and the City of Merced's standard plan requirements. A detailed and fully engineered traffic control plan will be prepared for proposed construction work. The traffic control plan will permit the contractor to work within the public right-of-way efficiently and effectively while maintaining a safe flow of traffic for the public, whether in vehicles, bicycles, or as pedestrians traveling through the work zone. The plan will depict the construction to be performed and the traveled way that will be utilized by all movements of traffic during each phase of construction. Traffic Control Plans shall be prepared at a scale of 1"=40'. At minimum, traffic plans shall depict the existing and proposed temporary k-rail, striping, signing, pavement markings, pavement markers, pavement text, and delineators, as well as other pertinent construction notes, and details drafted per City Standard Plans and meet the latest California MUTCD. -

SPEED SURVEYS
NV5 staff has experience in producing speed surveys and corresponding documentation for cities to enact speed zone ordinances in compliance with CVC 40802. It is important to note that CVC 40802 does not dictate speeds for all roads and streets. CVC 40802 (the "speed trap law") is only applicable to setting speed zones different than the prima facie speed on streets other than "local" streets (as defined in the most recent California Road System Maps approved by the Federal Highway Administration).

Additionally, state prima facie speed limits within residential zones, driveway densities, and commercial zones meeting certain legal definitions are already 25 MPH, and only require an E&TS to change the state prima facie speed limit. The NV5 Team will make use of these additional legal tools to provide a comprehensive report detailing the legal framework, justification, and recommendations in these unique cases.

RESEARCH AND REVIEW ACCIDENT REPORTS AND CALCULATE ACCIDENT RATES The NV5 team of planners and engineers has prepared accident analysis reports in the past and are well versed with the steps involved in the preparation of accident analysis reports. There are several steps in the methodology of collision analysis. The first step is the identification of the location, second is to establish a period of study such as three (3) years to eliminate "luck" or "chance" from skewing the statistical analysis, and the third is to obtain data from California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database. NV5 shall prepare an accident analysis report which can be used by the City of Merced to identify the traffic problem areas and plan roadway changes.

PRESENTATION AND MEETINGS
NV5 takes great pride in its ability to coordinate presentations, PDT meetings, and stakeholder meetings. The NV5 team has extensive experience planning, preparing for, conducting, and presenting at numerous City Council, Planning Commission, and Traffic Commission meetings. We will prepare meeting agendas and meeting minutes, as required, using NV5's streamlined Action Item-Meeting Minute agenda format, which includes identifying responsible parties and completion dates. Meeting minutes will be prepared and distributed to all participants for review and confirmation of the action items. A list of specific meetings NV5 will attend when necessary are:
• City Council • Public Works Staff • Developers
• City Planning Commission • Project Applicants • Development/Environmental Review - LEAD NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEETINGS
As directed by the City, NV5 will lead neighborhood traffic management meetings. We will provide full meeting coordination, prepare meeting notification, agenda, notes, and meeting minutes with goals and action items. The NV5 Team has a long and recognized history of proactive public involvement, applying new and innovative outreach methods to projects. This is ever-changing with the use of digital media, and online, social engagement platforms are a great element to add to the mix of outreach strategies. The goals common to all neighborhood engagement programs are to identify and evaluate any concerns, suggestions, comments, and unique needs of transportation system users as they relate to proposed projects and studies.

The personnel identified in this proposal have strong experience in preparing and making presentations. We understand the need of the City to have consultant support to provide internal and external presentations. Our staff will provide meeting planning support and preparation and we will coordinate with other City staff and Departments as needed.

TRAFFIC CALMING
The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) define that 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. NV5 staff will review the proposed traffic calming measures and recommend an approach and course of action to City staff.

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
NV5 will perform a complete review of traffic operations and identify operational changes that could be made to improve the efficiency of the system. This approach can be multi-modal in scope, to identify locations for complete street treatments.

A congestion management plan is built upon a strong data base. This will include collecting turning movement traffic counts for each of the major intersections and will supply those counts as well as the signal timings for input into Synchro. The signalized intersections in each of these corridors will be evaluated using Synchro 11 to determine the average vehicle delay, level of service, and queue lengths, by movement and in aggregate. Synchro's evaluation of coordination can also be used to estimate the number of stops. Travel times in the corridors during the peak hours will be approximated through the use of cell phone technology -
embodied in Google Maps that provides speed information. Traffic operation for each corridor will be evaluated during the morning. mid-day, and evening peak periods.

The City may wish to complete an origin-destination survey to identify through traffic impacts. For example, an OD survey was aiso completed for our project in Vista. In Merced, this data would be used to isolate the number of external to external (through traffic) trips along Highway 101 and other routes as identified with the City. We understand that a significant number of motorists from other communities may often use the study corridors as "short cuts" to avoid peak period congestion on I-5. The origin destination data would document these movements.
- NV5 will prepare a narrative summary report of existing traffic conditions, supported by high quality graphic exhibits, delivered in digital format as well as hard copies. The report will include:
• Maps depicting the level of service at the major intersections on each corridor and on the segments between major intersections
• Tables detailing the average vehicle delay and speeds • 95% queue lengths with available turn bay storage lengths to identify deficiencies in intersection geometry, and graphic exhibits and tables highlighting the comparisons
• Extensive technical summary report
- • Technical appendix containing the data files provided by the City, and the Synchro input/output reports NV5 will formulate a list of possible strategies for achieving the project goals. The strategies may include:
• Evaluating previously recommended projects for managing congestion that have not yet been implemented • Identifying widening or re-striping projects to increase the capacity at critical intersections or on critical segments • Adjustments to traffic signal timings
- PERFORM WARRANT ANALYSIS FOR STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, AND OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.

Warrant analysis includes the following steps. NV5 will assign a senior engineer to oversee the following steps needed to document warrant for traffic control devices.
• Collect Background Traffic Information: NV5 staff will compile basic traffic information, including accident history, traffic volumes, road geometry, and other information.
• Data Collection: NV5 will obtain traffic data in support of possible operational improvements. Depending on the case, this data may include 12-hour traffic turning movement counts, vehicle speed samples, and peak hour traffic gap studies. • Evaluation of Improvement Warrants: A change of traffic control can be justified by meeting industry-accepted warrants that consider vehicle speeds and volumes. These warrants may result in recommendations for traffic and pedestrian signals and multi-way stop control. NV5 staff will evaluate which alternative improvements meet established traffic warrants and can be justified.
• Preparation of Study Report: We will prepare a report documenting the study process, data, analysis, and results based upon the initial comments from the City.
