Request For Proposal #2024-063
Title: Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024 3 1. NOTICE TO BIDDERS

1.1. Summary
The City of Moreno Valley is requesting solicitations to enhance the Action Plan that is currently in the works of being developed by providing supplementary safety improvements to the plan. The City is interested in improving the safety by adding to the A ction Plan which is currently in the works of being developed by improving traffic safety for the following modules: Commercial Vehicle Network Safety, Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections, and School Route and Pedestrian Safety. The first module proposes to develop a Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Plan. The City’s current plan was developed five years ago. This is critical because the City of Moreno Valley has since then developed many new warehouses and other developments. Some of the existi ng roadways do not have the capacity to handle trucks and their loads. Additionally, new developments requiring trucks will need to abide by AB 98 requirements. The second module involves Signalized Intersection Improvements. The purpose of this is to reduce rear ended collisions with green band via interconnected traffic signals/ITS development. This is important because according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 21% of crashes and 24% of all fatalities and injuries related to motor v ehicle collisions occur at signalized intersections.

Furthermore, traffic signals play a key role in enhancing safety. Adequate traffic signal coordination must be enforced at all traffic signals. Hence, a traffic signal fiber network plan with appropriate countermeasures must be developed. The final module for this proposed project involves safety improvements for schools and school routes for increased pedestrian safety. The goal of this module is to provide aid to troubled schools that need the assistance that are located within the City.

You are hereby invited to submit a proposal for providing Professional Consultant Services for the Transportation Engineering Division. The selected consultants could be retained to serve the City for a period of Twelve (12) Months subject to the approval of the City Council.

1.2. Background
Moreno Valley was incorporated in 1984 as a General Law City, merging the communities of Moreno, Sunnymead, and Edgemont. The City operates under a Council -Manager form of government.

Request For Proposal #2024-063
Title: Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024 17 10. SCOPE OF SERVICES

10.1. Scope of Services
The City is interested in expanding further missing components of the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) thereby adding to the Action Plan which is currently in the works of being developed by improving traffic safety for the following modules:
• Commercial Vehicle Network Safety
• Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections
• Safety Improvements for Three Schools
The first module proposes to develop a Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Plan. The City’s current truck route map was developed years ago and thus is outdated. This is critical because the City of Moreno Valley has since then developed many new wa rehouses and other developments. An anticipated development that will produce more semi-truck traffic volumes is that of Highland Fairview (a real estate development company proposing the World Logistics Center project that will create a world-class business park for the City that is specifically designed to attract American and international companies who demand high-tech logistics facilities). The impacts of such proposed development amongst others will need to be evaluated. Additionally, new truck routes will most likely have to be added to the existing and outdated truck route map. Some of the existing roadways do not have the capacity to handle trucks and their loads. Safety passage through the City and to load and unload locations for semi -trucks is essential for business and for the wellbeing of the community members, children near schools, the elderly, and pedestrians/bicyclists alike. Company drivers and owner-operators must know which routes to take upon entry to the City to minimize any sort of pot ential liability driving a big rig brings. The Final Report is to include a chapter on Circulation Element of truck route(s). The City of Moreno Valley’s Circulation Element will need to be updated to include the following in accordance to AB 98:
• Identify and establish specific travel routes for the transport of goods, materials, or freight for storage, transfer, or redistribution to safely accommodate additional truck traffic and avoid residential areas and sensitive receptors; and
• Maximize the use of interstate or state divided highways as preferred routes for truck routes. The county or city must also maximize use of arterial roads, major thoroughfares, and predominantly commercially oriented local streets when state or interstate highways are not utilized.

While keeping in mind that truck routes must comply with:
• Major or minor collector streets and roads that predominantly serve commercially oriented uses must be used for truck routes only when strictly necessary to reach existing industrial zones; • Trucks must be routed via transportation arteries that minimize exposure to sensitive receptors; and
• On and after January 1, 2028, all proposed development of a logistics use development must be accessible via arterial roads, major thoroughfares, or roads that predominantly serve commercially oriented uses. For purposes of the circulation element, local roads shall be considered to predominantly serve commercial uses if more than 50 percent of the properties fronting the road within 1,000 feet are designated for commercial or industrial use according to the local zoning ordinance.

Consult with the Department of Transportation and the California Freight Advisory Committee for technical assistance. The Circulation Element must:
• Provide for posting of conspicuous signage to identify truck routes and additional signage for truck parking and appropriate idling facility locations;
• Make truck routes publicly available in geographic information system (GIS) format and share GIS maps of the truck routes with warehouse operators, fleet operators, and truck drivers; Request For Proposal #2024-063
Title: Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024 18 • Provide opportunities for the involvement of citizens, California Native American Indian tribes, public agencies, public utility companies, and civic, educational, and other co mmunity groups through public hearings and any other means the planning agency deems appropriate; and • Make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the changes required by the bill.

Therefore, proper planning must be taken on behalf of the City so that commercial vehicle truck routes are properly established and enforced to ensure the safety of all motorized users and pedestrians on the roads.

The second module involves Safety Imp rovements at Signalized Intersections. Final module (task) deliverables for this module include the development of countermeasures for high accident City of Moreno Valley signalized intersections and the development of a fiber network master plan. The purpose of this is to reduce rear ended collisions with green band via interconnected traffic signals/ITS development. Traffic safety at signalized intersections must be evaluated to determine the different causes of accidents at specific intersections via tra ffic signal coordination in order to reduce rear end collisions. This is important because according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 21% of crashes and 24% of all fatalities and injuries related to motor vehicle collisions occur at s ignalized intersections. Furthermore, traffic signals play a key role in enhancing safety. There are various countermeasures that can be employed at a particular signalized intersection in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). FHWA has a total of 28 countermeasures that are strategies that are effective in reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries. These countermeasures are strategies that are designed for all road types and such strategies are proposed to be employed at the city ’s signalized intersections. Precise countermeasures would vary by location and accordingly would be catered to each location based on the most needed safety strategy. Proven safety countermeasures are sorted by category. Adequate traffic signal coordinati on must be enforced at all traffic signals. Hence, a traffic signal fiber network plan must be developed. The City currently does not have a complete nor planned fiber network so traffic signal coordination can’t occur properly. A fiber optic network conne cts cameras and other communications systems with the traffic signals. This proposed fiber -optic network would allow for each traffic signal to communicate and transmit real -time traffic conditions to local operations centers. In turn this would enable imp roved signal timing. In the same regard, traffic congestions will be reduced, safety will be greatly increased, and accident rates will be greatly reduced.

In order to reduce the number of collisions, the City of Moreno Valley needs the fiber network to be laid out along the frontage of every roadway. The City currently has some frontages where the fiber network is present, but others do not and the City does not know where each case prevails. An investigation of every manhole in the City will have to be ex plored in order to tabulate the following information for all City street frontages: if fiber is present, if fiber exists, then the number of fibers must be counted, and ownership of fiber – i.e. City of Moreno Valley, Moreno Valley Utility (MVU), IT, Calt rans, etc. These in field items will be analyzed utilizing best engineering knowledge to plan the traffic signal fiber network (ITS network). The deliverable for this module will be a Citywide traffic signal fiber master plan report. A fiber optic network connects cameras and other communications systems with the traffic signals.

Technology is everchanging and is always improving. As traffic camera resolutions improve and collect more data, higher-bandwidth networks are essential to handle additional data load and the distance from the light signal to the control center. This proposed fiber-optic network would allow for each traffic signal to communicate and transmit real -time traffic conditions to local operations centers. In turn this would enable improved signal timing. In the same regard, traffic congestions will be reduced, safety will be greatly increased, and accident rates will be greatly reduced. Overall, this would bring nothing but positive results to the community members of the City of Moreno Valley.

The final module for this proposed project involves safety improvements for three schools for increased pedestrian safety. The goal of this module is to provide aid to the three schools that need their safety improved that are located within the City. One school having issues is that of Sunnymead Elementary located on Dracaea Avenue east of Heacock Street where analysis is needed to improve pedestrian safety during drop-off and pick up; consideration of proposed safety strategies may include addition of a crossing guard and/or traffic control. Specific area analysis is to take place to select the best proposed solution for implementation for safety remediation. A second school with safety issues is that of the relocation of Request For Proposal #2024-063
Title: Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024 19 Rainbow Springs to the D istrict’s old Moreno Elementary site. Discussions with district staff regarding moving the crossing guard are to take place along with other safety issues and proposed solutions. A third identified school needing safety improvements is that of Cloverdale Elementary. There have been many requests and petitions (ongoing for several years) by the community member/parents to provide a crossing guard at this school. This option, amongst additional possible safety solutions, must be analyzed.

District staff has advised City staff to meet on site to discuss possible safety solutions. They have advised to meet at 7:15 am (PST) as this is school morning drop -off time and that they would preferrable like to meet at the corner of Tuscola Street and Palm Meadows Court. It is especially critical for the City to make these improvements since oftentimes in these areas, community members do not have access to motorized transportation means.

The expected final deliverable to be submitted to the City of Moreno Valley, is a plan (report) with all three modules (individual reports) incorporated into one final report: commercial vehicle network safety plan, traffic signal fiber master plan, and school safety improvements plan for the concerned three schools. Each individual module, however, is standalone and independent of one another. Thus, tasks related to each individual module can be worked on concurrently and findings can be input into its separate report which will be combined with the other modules for the final Moreno Valley Roadway Safety Improvements in Three Areas Plan (report) deliverable.

1 Technical Proposal
Project Understanding
The City of Moreno Valley is requesting engineering services from a qualified consulting firm to enhance the Traffic Safety Action Plan that is currently under development by providing supplementary safety improvements to the plan. There are three areas of concern to be addressed in the LRSP addendum . The first item is to develop a Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Plan . This plan will evaluate the existing and newly developed land uses that are heavily truck dependent and determine if the existing truck routes are adequate to handle t he current and anticipated truck traffic . Resulting in recommended modifications to the current routes or the introduction of new routes . The second task will be to study the signalized intersections in the City and reduce rear end collisions at high incident locations. In addition, a fiber optic master plan will be developed to provide interconnect to signals, cameras, and other communication functions together to provide signal coordination and other benefits. The third task is an analysis of, and recomme nded safety measures for pedestrians at two city schools. This analysis will include recommendations and improvements for safe and efficient pick-up and drop- off of students.
▪ Commercial Vehicle Network Safety. The first module includes the development of a Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Plan since the City has developed many new warehouses and other developments since the current plan was developed five years ago. Some of the existing roadways do not have the capacity to handle trucks and their loads. Additionally, new developments requiring trucks will need to abide by AB 98 requirements. ▪ Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections. The purpose of this module is to reduce rear-end collisions with green band via interconnected traffic signals/ITS development. This is important because, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 21% of crashes and 24% of all fatalities and injuries related to motor vehicle collisions occur at signalized intersections. Furthermore, traffic signals play a key role in enhancing safety. Adequate traffic signal coordination must be enforce d at all traffic signals. Hence, a traffic signal fiber network plan with appropriate countermeasures must be developed. ▪ School Route and Pedestrian Safety. The goal of this module is to provide safety and circulation improvements for two schools and provide recommendations to e nhance the pick -up and drop -off operation for these schools located within the City.

Project Approach
Willdan’s overall approach to developing the Supplemental Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II involves first evaluating a policy to evaluate truck traffic and truck routes in the City and recommend improvements. Second, analyzing the crash history of traffic signals and identifying rear end collision incidents to recommend improvements and propose a fiber optic network master plan to interconnect the signal system. Third, recommend school route and pedestrian safety enhancements for two specific area schools. These three areas are addressed specifically below.

Commercial
Vehicle Network
Safety
This evaluation will examine how truck traffic is currently routed throughout the City . The goal of which will be to analyze the existing truck route plan and recommend improvements to serve the changing dynamics of the recent and future warehouse and industrial development in the City. These recommendations could also include new truck route s to better serve changes that may have developed since the original truck route map was developed. Any of the current or proposed routes will be able to safely accommodate semi-truck traffic. The final report will include a chapter for the City of Moreno Valley’s Circulation element in accordance with AB 98.

Safety
Improvements at
Signalized
Intersections
The second task will focus on increasing safety at signalized intersections throughout the City .

Specifically, the plan will be to increase signal synchronization through the implementation of a fiber optic network that will interconnect the City’s signals, cameras, and other communication devices associated with traffic control. Providing better coordination for vehicle traffic at signals will provide safer conditions and reduce rear end collisions. Additionally, a system of interconnected traffic devices allows for better monitoring of real-time conditions on the roadways.

School Route and
Pedestrian Safety
The third task involves safety improvements at two City of Moreno Valley Schools . Each school has been working with the City to improve pedestrian safety, particularly in coordination with the pick - up and drop -off times. Improvements w ill be developed by working with the school officials and extensive collection of data and observations of each school.

2 Work Plan
Willdan will furnish all services detailed below as required and necessary to develop the City’s Supplemental Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II in accordance with specified guidelines.

Task 1 - Project Management
Willdan will conduct all tasks necessary to complete the project, including day -to-day project management, meetings, progress reports, project communication and agency follow -up, project scheduling and tracking, invoicing, and overall administration of the project. Willdan's project management approach to manage and control the project is expected to include, but not be limited to:
▪ A project kick-off meeting will be scheduled within the first 2 weeks after the award of the contract. Major aspects of the project will be discussed including plan goals, City expectations, the role of the consultant and stakeholders, communication protocol, progress reporting, scheduling, and invoicing, key milestones, and what defines success for this project. The project development team (PDT) consisting of City staff and Willdan team members will be identified to maintain consistent communication throughout the project. ▪ In addition to the kick -off meeting, Willdan will attend as -needed virtual PDT meetings to discuss the project progress, upcoming tasks, completed tasks and issues requiring PDT assistance in problem -solving issues such as schedule or budget concerns.
▪ Willdan will coordinate with City staff to determine if public meetings are needed. If found necessary, we will attend two public meetings where trends, and proposed countermeasures will be discussed and will give stakeholders the opportunity to share concerns with the project team of locations with safety concerns and their input on proposed countermeasures.
▪ Willdan will prepare and distribute meeting agendas and minutes for all project meetings. ▪ Develop and monitor a critical path method project schedule using Microsoft Project software. The schedule will identify each task, sta rt, and end dates, and duration. The schedule will be updated monthly and submitted with the progress report.
▪ Ensure that the Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II, including all recommended safety measures, meets all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements, in anticipation of future grant funding opportunities .

Task 2 – Commercial Vehicle Network Safety
Willdan will analyze the current and anticipated truck traffic circulation based on truck traffic volume and existing and future development of warehouses, industrial, and similar land use developments that generate heavy truck traffic.

The results of the analysis of collisions, truck traffic, and future development will inform the final report with recommendations on the existing and proposed truck routes throughout the City. The final report will include a chapter covering the City of M oreno Valley’s Circulation element of truck routes. The document will be developed in accordance with AB 98. Following the guidelines of AB 98 where the routes should go, what classification of roadways should be used, the land use zoning, the signage used , the distribution of information regarding the routes, involvement of stakeholders and all community representatives, and extensive input from the economic segments of the community. The analysis will include the following:
▪ New Truck Route Identification
o Identify a truck volume threshold for pavement design o Review bike lane conflicts with truck routes
o Review and address truck parking throughout the City’s public right of way o Identify and establish new truck route maps
o Recommendations of truck route sign locations
▪ Public Outreach and Stakeholder Involvement
o Hold public hearings to gather input and information from the public and stakeholders o Make final truck route maps available to the public through GIS ▪ Moreno Valley’s Circulation Element Update - The update will include the new established truck route maps All of the subtasks under the commercial vehicle network safety analysis will be documented to form the basis of an addendum to the Local Roadway Safety Plan document, titled “Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Action Plan”. The Plan Proposal for Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety
Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024
Second Line

City of Moreno Valley RFP 2004-063
3 will include an introduction, background, discussion of the commercial vehicle network safety and recommendations, AB- 98 legislation, truck route identification, and summarize outreach involvement. Willdan will prepare the plan in accordance with all Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration requirements. Electronic files of the Draft Safety plan will be submitted to City Staff for review. Willdan will assist the City in circulating the Draft to identified stakeholders. A comment matrix will be made to ensure all comments are incorporated into the Final Plan.

Willdan will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to support City staff in presenting t he Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Action Plan to the City Council and the Public Safety Committee. As mentioned in Task 1, Willdan will attend a kick -off meeting in addition to progress meetings and public meetings (as needed) while preparing the Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Amendment to the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan.

Task 3 – Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections Traffic Signal Crash Analysis and Mitigation Plan:

Intersection crash data will be analyzed to identify intersection crash trends and identify signalized intersection locations and mitigations that should be given the highest priority. Willdan will perform a comprehensive collision analysis of all 190 signalized intersections throughout the City and will prepare an existing conditions assessment of each location. The analysis will utilize the 5-year collision data obtained by Willdan.

The analysis will include considerations of crash factors, systemic safety analysis, priority safety strategies, infrastructure safety projects, and behavioral safety strategies. The collision analysis will include, but not be limited to:
▪ Document traffic patterns, roadway features, traffic
volumes, crash type, driver factors, and environmental
conditions with special attention directed to mid-block crosswalks.
▪ Identify high-collision signalized intersections to pinpoint causes of collisions, including highest occurring crash types, crash factors and injury severity.
▪ Evaluate results of crash data and existing conditions analysis to identify collision patterns and common
collision types within City.
▪ Conduct a detailed analysis of all 200 signalized locations identified in the analysis. These locations will include a deeper analysis of the existing conditions, documenting the traffic patterns, roadway features, traffic volumes, crash type, driver factors, and environmental conditions with special attention directed to mid-block crosswalks. ▪ Propose recommended improvements for each signalized
location based on the detailed collision and existing
conditions analysis.

Roadway characteristics will be evaluated to determine if they contributed to potential causes of the crash patterns identified during the collision analysis task. Based upon the collision analysis and roadway data, a list of potential safety countermeasures that best fit the road, traffic, and safety conditions at specific locations will be developed rather than offering a generic list of possible improvements. The City’s intersections, crosswalks, and traffic control devices will be individually evaluated to document traffic patterns, roadway features, traffic volumes, crash history, and environmental conditions that may pose a risk to future collisions.

Fiber Optic Master Plan:

In this task Willdan will develop a fiber optic network master plan to connect the City’s traffic signals, cameras and all other ancillary communication devices. Currently, Moreno Valley has some fiber optic network connections but needs an overall master plan. The development of this master plan will allow for greater signal coordination to provide progression along the City’s roadways. Better signal synchronization and signal timing has been identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as a measure to increase safety and redu ce collisions, for example rear end collisions. This system will also provide real-time information of traffic conditions that allows for faster reactions to congestion and emergencies.

City of Moreno Valley RFP 2004-063
4 In order to develop a fiber optic master plan, we need to understand the City’s existing fiber optic and ITS infrastructure.

Willdan’s subconsultant, Crosstown Electrical & Data (Crosstown), will conduct field investigations to verify and field locate existing traffic signal equipment including signal controllers, communications components, and ITS equipment located at the City’s 200 traffic signal locations. Crosstown will also locate and field verify any existing fiber optic infrastructure, making sure to identify the ownership . All of the field inventory results will be summarized and included as part of the fiber optic master plan.

Willdan will also conduct meetings with the various City departments to understand their current and future fiber optic demands. These interactive meetings the City departments will help guide the development of the fiber optic master plan.

The master plan will be developed with a goal of redundancy and efficiency of the fiber optic network and an outlook of 20 years. The project team will also research autonomous and connected vehicle technologies to insure the fiber optic master plan includes provisions f or their capabilities in the future. This task may also include discussions with automotive manufacturers on their future technologies and how the City of Moreno Valley can align with their vision.

Signalized Intersections Supplemental Safety Improvement Plan Report All of the subtasks under the safety improvements at signalized intersections will be documented to form the basis of an addendum to the Local Roadway Safety Plan document, titled “ Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections Plan Report”. The Plan will include an introduction, background, discussion of the safety improvements at signalized intersections analysis and recommendations, and a summary of the fiber optic master plan with the actual plan included as an appendix. Willdan will prepare the plan in accordance with all Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration requirements.

Electronic files of the Draft Safety plan will be submitted to City Staff for review. Willdan will assist the City in circula ting the Draft to identified stakeholders. A comment matrix will be made to ensure all comments are incorporated into the Final Plan.

Willdan will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to support City staff in presenting the Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections to the City Council and the Public Safety Committee. As mentioned in Task 1, Willdan will attend a kick -off meeting in addition to progress meetings and public meetings (as needed) while preparing the Safety Improvements for Signalized Intersections Amendment to the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan.

Task 4 – School Route and Pedestrian Safety
The third task is to address school safety concerns at two schools located within the City. At each school there are issues concerning pick-up/drop-off operations and pedestrian access. For each school location, Willdan will conduct a site visit to each school to observe school pick-up and drop-off operations and solicit feedback from school staff regarding pedestrian safety, circulation, and traffic issues . Willdan will also collect average daily t raffic counts with speed profiles, pedestrian counts, and observational data for each school during the daily drop -off and pick -up operation. Based on the data and feedback received , Willdan will develop recommended improvements to address the concerns raised by the school community. Willdan’s recommendations will be shown on conceptual exhibits along with preliminary cost estimates that will be incorporated into the final report. In general, Willdan will address the issues at the following two schools:
▪ Hidden Springs Elementary is located on Hidden Springs Drive between Greenridge Drive and Country Crest Drive.

At this school there are circulation challenges with vehicle and pedestrian access during the drop-off and pick-up operations. Willdan will collect data , work with school officials, and investigate the existing conditions at the school. Utilizing this background information, we will recommend safety measures and improvements that will benefit the safe access to this school.
▪ Valley View High School is located on Nason Street between Eucalyptus Avenue and Dracaea Avenue. Loading and Unloading of students takes place on cam pus with vehicles entering on Nason Street and exiting on Dracaea Avenue. There is also a loading/unloading zone on Eucalyptus Avenue. Willdan will meet with school staff and discuss the issues and propose appropriate solutions. We will collect volume, speed , and video surveillance data to analyze the existing pick-up and drop -off operation. We will recommend safety measures and improvements that will benefit the safe access to this school.

All of the subtasks under the safety improvements for two schools will be documented to form the basis of an addendum to the Local Roadway Safety Plan document, titled “School Route and Pedestrian Safety Plan Report”. The Plan will include an introduction, background, discussion of the safety improvements for t wo schools analysis and recommendations, conceptual exhibits, cost estimates, warrant analysis (if any) , and summary of school feedback received . Willdan will prepare the plan in accordance with all Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration requirements. Electronic files of the Draft Safety plan will be submitted to City Staff for review. Willdan will assist the City in circulating the Draft to id entified stakeholders.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)
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 master schedule, budget controls, and reporting system. The project control system provides an objective measure of performance integrating the following functions:

Project Controls

The manhour breakdown structure subdivides the work into manageable segments and is the basis for our project managers’ project control plan. The structure is tailored to specific project needs, but generally has typical elements, including codes to identi fy 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. Manhour 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.

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 cost s 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 bil led, 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.

6 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 refl ect 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 fal ling 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.

The submittal requirements and format for consistent monthly reporting of project costs and status will be confirmed with the City during the project start -up period. The status report will contain a project performance summary, action items, outstanding i tems to be resolved, an updated schedule, and a comparison and narrative of budgeted costs versus actual costs.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures are critical to ensuring sound engineering practices and quality deliverables are produced for our clients. Willdan operates daily under a company -wide Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program. In accordance with Willdan’s QA/QC Manual, a QA/QC officer is assigned to every contract. As part of his daily responsibilities, Mr. Farhad Iranitalab, PE, TE, is the assigned QA/QC officer for this project and will provide quality assurance oversight. Typical QA/QC activities include assigning the appropriate technical staff to the project, selecting the proper technical project approach, establishing a project schedule that meets internal Willdan and City deadlines, and determining the proper level of QA/QC review. Many of these QA/QC activities have already been discussed as part of this proposal preparation. Project-specific QA/QC activities will be planned at the beginning of a project.

The four levels of QA/QC review for project deliverables include:
▪ Level 1 – Peer review only
▪ Level 2 – Peer review and editorial review (documents) ▪ Level 3 – Peer review, editorial review, and professional engineer review ▪ Level 4 – All elements of Level 3 plus additional reviews by specific technical experts The two major components of the QA/QC review are communication and technical reviews. A Level 2 QA/QC review will be performed on the LRSP to ensure the Plan is reasonably organized, text and presentation are understandable and easy to follow, any required formats are followed and there are no grammatical or spelling errors. This level of QA/QC review will also ensure the Plan satisfies the required deliverables identified in the Scope of Work. A Level 3 QA/QC review will be performed specifically as it relates to the technical issues of the B/C ratio calculations and determining if the proposed countermeasures are sound and appropriate.

Services Provided Preparation of a Local Roadway Safety Plan Willdan prepared an LRSP for the City of Downey. The draft report was completed and shared for review by the project stakeholders. The plan evaluated crash history on an aggregate basis to identify high -risk roadway characteristics, rather than looking at high-collision concentration locations through site analysis. TIMS and SWITRS were used for the collision analysis. With a population of 114,400, Downey had a 6 -year crash history of 5,557 Citywide crashes between 2015 and 2020. Willdan set up virtual meet ings with stakeholders from the public works department, planning department, enforcement, fire department, and school district to identify collision hot spot locations and location -appropriate countermeasures and projects throughout the City. The evaluati on helped identify safety projects within the City and prioritize countermeasures across the entire system. The results of the evaluation identified safety projects within the City that can be used to apply for future funding consideration through the HSIP and other safety program applications. The LRSP developed a prioritized list of 5 safety projects with competitive benefit -cost ratios that were included in HSIP Cycle 11 applications. The project was completed on time and within budget. In 2024, Willdan prepared an updated LRSP for the City of Downey and proposed new projects based on the new crash data that were included in HSIP Cycle 12 applications.

9 Willdan developed a citywide LRSP to systemically analyze and identify safety problems and develop recommendations for safety improvements in the City of Paramount. This evaluation identified safety collision hot spots in the City, developed countermeasures to address those hot spot locat ions, and packaged together systemic projects that are turn - key for future HSIP applications. TIMS and SWITRS were used for the collision analysis. With a population of 54,400, Paramount had a 5-year crash history of 2,974 Citywide crashes between 2017 and 2021. Citywide trends and mitigation measures were identified and presented to the project stakeholders. We performed a thorough evaluation of the top 10 intersection and corridors , which helped identify spot location projects and identify trends that developed into systemic Citywide projects.

Paramount has been awarded $581,900 in HSIP Cycle 10 funding using two projects that were identified early -on in the LRSP development process. Following the completion of the LRSP, two projects were submitted for HSIP Cycle 11, hoping to win the City over $1 million in HSIP Cycle 11 funds.

Relevant Project Experience
Local Roadway Safety Plan, City of Downey, CA. Project Manager. Willdan prepared a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) for the City of Downey. The plan evaluated crash history on an aggregate basis to identify high -risk roadway characteristics, rather than looking at high - collision concentration locations through site a nalysis. TIMS and SWITRS were used for the collision analysis. With a population of 114,400, Downey had a 6-year crash history of 5,557 Citywide crashes between 2015 and 2020. Willdan set up virtual meetings with stakeholders from the public works departme nt, planning department, police department, fire department, and school district to identify collision hot spot locations and location - appropriate countermeasures and projects throughout the City. The evaluation helped identify safety projects within the C ity and prioritized countermeasures across the entire system. The results of the evaluation identified safety projects within the City that can be used to apply for future funding consideration through the HSIP and other safety program applications. The dr aft report was completed and shared for review by the project stakeholders. Feedback provided by the stakeholders was incorporated into the Final LRSP document. The LRSP developed a prioritized list of 5 safety projects with competitive benefit cost ratios that were used to develop HSIP Cycle 11 grant funding applications.
