TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Approach and Understanding
Project Understanding
The City of Moreno Valley is initiating a reconstruction project on Steeplechase Drive as part of its Capital Improvement Program (CPI). Steeplechase Drive is a residential street that runs north and south, located north of the 60 freeway. Due to its existing pavement condition and configuration, the Steeplechase Drive reconstruction Project aims to modernize and improve infrastructure along Steeplechase Drive from Ironwood Avenue to Kalmia Ave and on the north side of
Ironwood Avenue from Vista de Cerros Drive to lasselle
Street. This initiative focuses on not only addressing roadway quality and pedestrian safety but also enhancing the
environmental and aesthetic elements along this route, as well as improvements that align with Moreno Valley’s commitment to sustainability, accessibility, and community engagement.
Dewberry acknowledges the City’s objectives to enhance
visual aesthetics, increase environmental benefits, and promote community well-being, thereby elevating the quality of life for residents. To achieve these goals, the City intends to implement a bike lane route and undertake the reconstruction of the raised median along Steeplechase Drive. This bike lane will facilitate connectivity to the Ironwood Avenue Bike lane and adjacent neighborhoods, while the newly designed median will incorporate landscaping elements to enrich the area for the enjoyment of residents.
Project Approach

1 PROPOSAL FOR STEEPLECHASE DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION/IRONWOOD AVENUE TO KALMIA AVENUE - PROJECT NO. 801 0107 CITY OF MORENO VALLEYTeCHnICAl PRoPoSAl
1. PROJECT SCOPE
As exhibited in our scope of work outlined on page 6, our success in delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects is based on a thorough understanding of the project
requirements, what each discipline is required to provide, and which design features are realistic and achievable.
2. PROJECT TEAM
To meet City expectations and our standards for
quality service on every project issued, we adopt a
proactive approach that includes:
ASSIGNING THE RIGHT PROJECT MANAGER
Rita Montalvo, PE, will be the City’s primary point
of contact for overall delivery of services under this
contract and will mobilize Dewberry services and
resources to quickly and adequately respond to the
City’s needs. As project manager, Rita will focus on
consistent coordination with the City, maintaining
schedule, tracking budget, and concentrating on
making continuous progress on all project fronts.
Should Rita be unavailable for any reason during
the course of this contract, Miguel Ramirez, Pe, will
act as the Back-Up Project Manager to continue
coordinating all project efforts seamlessly.
ESTABLISHING A COMMITTED
PROJECT TEAM THAT MEETS ALL CITY
ANTICIPATED NEEDS
our team resources and project organization are
directly aligned with specialties requested in the
City’s on-call civil, structural, traffic and transportation engineering disciplines. Assigning the right people to
tasks and ensuring their contract-long commitment
have been critical to our success on prior on-call
contracts; we have identified as “key” the designated
technical leads for each of their respective disciplines.
3. BUDGET AND SCHEDULE
Dewberry is committed to the delivery of projects that
are technically successful and fiscally responsible.
This is accomplished by using experienced staff
equipped with the right tools to help plan and track
their projects. Project cost management is twofold:
management of the design fees and management of
the project construction costs.
APPROACH TO MANAGING THE SCHEDULE
our approach to managing the schedule focuses on
communication, meeting interim milestones, identifying
information gaps, and adjusting priorities/resources, if required, to compensate for unforeseen delays as follows:
• Communication: Weekly progress meetings will
be scheduled with the Dewberry team to develop/
review action item lists and completion status.
Results for the weekly internal progress meetings
including action items will be shared with City
of Moreno Valley staff in conference calls to
confirm information requirements, decisions by
stakeholders, data availability, and next steps.
• Meeting Interim Milestones: Through the use
of action item lists, progress will be monitored
as deliverables are prepared. By tracking the
individual steps necessary in the development of
technical documentation and establishing interim
goals/milestones, any slippage in schedule will
become apparent early in the process and allow
for adjustments in resources and priorities.
• Identifying Information Gaps: Project delays can
occur when key information is not available in a
timely manner. The Dewberry team will identify
needed data and desired timelines at the Kickoff
Meeting and will then follow-up with stakeholders
to facilitate information exchange and acquisition.
• Adjusting Priorities/Resources: By understanding
the status of the project in “real time” versus
the desired schedule through the use of interim
milestones/action item lists, adjustments in
resources (additional “help”) will be initiated to
accelerate the completion of critical path/high-
priority activities to keep the project on schedule.
4. QUALITY REVIEWS
for each project, Dewberry performs detailed quality
control reviews at the major deliverable milestones
(Conceptual Design, 30%, 60%, 90% and final level)
and assembles an electronic QA/QC binder, which is a
“one-stop shop” for the entire project’s QC checklists, forms, notes, contract requirements, and submittals.
The forms are saved electronically and are accessible
to all who are working on the project. Continual
checks by the QA/QC Manager are completed to
follow and enforce standards and QC procedures.
2 PROPOSAL FOR STEEPLECHASE DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION/IRONWOOD AVENUE TO KALMIA AVENUE - PROJECT NO. 801 0107 CITY OF MORENO VALLEYTeCHnICAl PRoPoSAl
Dewberry uses Deltek software for project accounting,
timesheet reports, budget reports and invoicing. The
scheduling program is used to establish baseline
project schedules in accordance with agreed-upon
task durations. one of the keys to keeping projects on
schedule is delegation of schedule responsibility to
the staff. When all staff members working on a project
are given complete schedule information, there is a
greater sense of urgency to meet those schedules.
The project schedule is updated during the course of
the project to reflect changes that may occur.
The current project schedule is regularly compared
to the baseline schedule to determine the project
schedule variances. The project manager will be able
to determine quickly if the project schedule is slipping, giving ample time to make management decisions
for schedule corrective actions. While the scheduling
program is a great forecasting tool for managing the
project schedule, it is also important to know the
budget status. Dewberry uses the Deltek program to
monitor labor and other direct project expenditures.
This program is a complete accounting package, with
excellent project monitoring capabilities to assist the project manager evaluating project status.
5. PROJECT RISKS AND
CHALLENGES
The Dewberry team has performed a preliminary
field review of the project site and has an excellent
understanding of the project intent and the City’s
goals. Based on our review we have identified a set
of challenges and recommended solutions for the
project. These are potential solutions that need more
analysis after review of existing documents, as-built
plans, once the Ironwood Avenue Survey is completed
and after public outreach and community decisions
are made about the landscape architecture.
STEEPLECHASE DRIVE
KEY ISSUE #1: Removal of Mature
Trees along Steeplechase Drive Median s
The removal of mature trees along Steeplechase Drive
presents several logistical and community-focused
challenges. These trees contribute significantly to the local environment, providing shade, aesthetics, and
habitat, and their removal may raise environmental
and community concerns. Mature trees are often
seen as valuable assets. Their removal can prompt
concerns from residents and local organizations
regarding environmental impact, loss of shade, and
challenges in the area’s character. Removing these
trees could disrupt the ecosystem, affecting air
quality, soil erosion, and biodiversity.
Solution: To address these challenges we propose
preparing an Arborist Analysis/Memorandum outlining
the reasons for tree removal, detailed steps for safe tree removal, and post-removal care. This memorandum
provides transparency to the City and community with a
comprehensive understanding of the tree removal
process, measures taken to mitigate impact, and
strategies for sustainable landscape restoration.
KEY ISSUE #2: Driveway
Reconstruction along Steeplechase Drive,
& temporary construction easement (TCE)
at some properties.
The project consists of improvements within City right
of way. However, there are some driveways that might
need reconstruction due to their existing conditions.
This will require a temporary construction easement.
Solution: Dewberry recommends early resident
notification. notify residents well in advance about the reconstruction schedule, anticipated impacts and the
steps taken to minimize disruptions. Dewberry and
City Staff will work closely with property owners to
establish clear, documented TCe agreements that
outline the purpose timeline and scope of access
needed for the construction work.

KEY ISSUE #3: Storm Drain along
Steeplechase Drive
The high point on Steeplechase Drive is at about 45
feet south of Kalmia Avenue. Therefore, Steeplechase
Drive carry stormwater tributary to south of Kalmia.
To prevent stormwater from concentrating at the
intersection of Steeplechase Drive and Ironwood
Avenue and overflowing the northwest corner of the
intersection of Steeplechase Drive and Ironwood
Avenue, a series of drain inlets along Steeplechase
Drive may be necessary to collect the water.
Solution: The northwest corner of the
intersection also receives water for the cross gutter
that carries water coming from the east side of
Ironwood Avenue. At this location the City wants to
install a pedestrian curb ramp. To prevent overflowing
that could impact traffic, pedestrian safety, and
infrastructure durability, Dewberry recommends a
Hydrology analysis/memorandum of existing
conditions and proposed conditions to properly
assess the flow patterns and determine the volume of
water that needs to be managed. Also, proper
resident’s outlet drainage would be mitigated with City Standards parkway drains.
KEY ISSUE #4: Pedestrian walkway
and ADA Ramps on raised median along
Steeplechase Drive
Steeplechase Drive has longitudinal slopes that
exceed 5%, up to 8.65% presenting a challenge for
designing an ADA-compliant pedestrian walkway
and ramps that meet accessibility standards while
accommodating the natural topography. Creating
accessible paths on a median with variable slopes
requires innovative design to maintain compliance
and usability for all pedestrians.
Solution: Dewberry will design a meandering
walkpath, and at a steeper sections, we will design a
segmented ramp system with periodic flat landings to
break up the slope and allow for resting points. These
landings will be spaced to meet ADA requirements
while enabling a smooth manageable incline for users.
Custom grading and surface treatment will be
implemented. Early city and Community input will play
an important part on the design process.
Through these innovative solutions, Dewberry will
ensure the pedestrian walkway and ADA compliant
ramps meet accessibility requirements along
Steeplechase Drive’s raised median, while maintaining
aesthetic quality and cost efficiency. This approach
will provide safe, accessible pathways for all users,
regardless of physical ability, enhancing Steeplechase
Drive as an inclusive, community-center space.
IRONWOOD AVENUE
KEY ISSUE #1: Retaining walls and
reconstruction of outlet culvert box, due
to the street widening with the addition of
new pavement and sidewalk.
There are areas along Ironwood Avenue where the
existing terrain has steep slopes. With the planned
street widening and the addition of new sidewalks, these slopes may become steeper, leading to potential soil
erosion and unstable soils. Additionally, at this location, there is an outlet structure that directs stormwater from elghl Court (cul-de-sac) into Ironwood Drive.
4 PROPOSAL FOR STEEPLECHASE DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION/IRONWOOD AVENUE TO KALMIA AVENUE - PROJECT NO. 801 0107 CITY OF MORENO VALLEYTeCHnICAl PRoPoSAl
Solution: To address these issues, retaining
walls may be installed in locations where elevation
changes could cause slope instability and erosion.
Dewberry will consider implementing standard walls
that are less than 4 feet in height to avoid the need
for a detailed geotechnical assessment. These
standard walls would ensure stability and safety.
furthermore, Dewberry will evaluate the
reconstruction of the existing outlet system that
connects Elghl Ct to Ironwood Avenue and develop
potential solutions to prevent conflicts between the
wall’s footing and the storm drain system.
KEY ISSUE #2: Low point at Ironwood
Avenue and reconstruction of existing
headway wall and culvert.
The widening of Ironwood Avenue presents a
significant challenge at the low point along the
roadway, where the existing drainage infrastructure,
including the headwall and culvert, requires careful
consideration. This low point collects stormwater from
surrounding areas and directs it into the storm drain
system maintained by Riverside County flood Control.
Solution: To address these challenges, the
street widening may require the culvert to be
extended or repositioned, and the headwall to be
reinforced. Based on a hydrology analysis, Dewberry
recommends expanding the culvert size to manage
the increased runoff from the widened road and
adding a new inlet at the low point, with a lateral
connection to the existing drainage system.
6. PROJECT COMMUNICATION
Regular communication of project progress and
status is a key element of our work plan. In addition
to monthly progress reports, we will propose periodic
coordination calls with the City project manager and
staff to discuss issues, validate assumptions, and
identify any delivery concerns or corrective actions.
our goal is that there be no surprises.
Detailed Work Plan
once a project has an accepted scope and budget,
we will begin work to deliver the project immediately.
every project is different but in general our approach
would start by performing preliminary engineering
so that any environmental clearance or right-of-way
tasks can begin as soon as possible. To deliver our
on-call projects, Dewberry will follow City, Caltrans,
AASHTo, ADA and other requirements and standards
as necessary. our Project Development Process closely
mimics the Caltrans process detailed in the Project
Development Procedures Manual. Even though our
task orders will vary, using this process ensures all
aspects of the project are considered, including utilities, right-of-way, and various alternatives considerations.
A. Review and understanding the Project:
our team at Dewberry begins by conducting a
comprehensive review of the project objectives,
existing documentation and the scope of work to
ensure all team members are aligned with the City’s
goals and the project’s unique requirements. This
phase will include: Project familiarization, Site visit and Analysis, and Preliminary risk assessment.
B. Concept design Development: With a clear
understanding of the project requirements, the
concept design phase focuses on creating a high-
level vision for Steeplechase Drive and Ironwood
Avenue, including preliminary layouts and aesthetic
considerations. This phase will include: Initial street layouts, Preliminary Utility impact evaluation, and
landscape design concepts.
C. Final Design: The final design phase takes
the approved concept and refines it into detailed
construction documents, this phase will include:

Detailed drawings at 30%, 60%, 90% and final design.
engineer’s Cost estimate and Specifications will be
developed at the 90% stage. Also, quality assurance
and quality control (QA/QC) protocols will be
followed to ensure the final design meets the City’s
expectations. our QA/QC team will review each design
milestone, verifying technical accuracy and that the
design follows project objectives.
D. Construction Phase: Subject to City council
approval, prior project construction, Dewberry can
help the city with the necessary bid documents.
During the construction phase, Dewberry can review
contractor submittals and respond to Request for
information (RfIs) to ensure alignment with design
intent and specifications, and evaluate and process
any required change orders efficiently to manage
costs and minimized delays.
This comprehensive work plan, ensures Dewberry’s
commitment to delivering a high quality project for
the City of Moreno Valley with clear processes to
manage design and construction goals.

Bicycle Corridor Improvement Project
CITY OF GARDEN GROVE, CA
Scope: AIX was responsible for the development of the PS&e package.
Approach: Project consists of bicycle signing and striping improvements on 5 major corridors within the City, totaling 15 miles, and doubling the number of on-street bicycle facilities in the City.
Challenges: The project’s biggest challenge was the fixed design and construction budget. Traditional design methods were replaced with practical design methods to meet the budget. The construction budget was also met with the coordination of planned paving projects to allow the improvements to be installed separately.
Final Result: Improvements include improving existing bike facilities and creating new bike routes throughout the City and conform to the City’s Bicycle Master Plan. This PS&e project was founded through oCTA’s BCIP program with Caltrans D12 oversight of the funding.
