SECTION 3 | PROJECT APPROACH/WORK PLAN
SECTION 3| PROJECT
APPROACH/WORK PLAN
A. PROJECT APPROACH
Successful project delivery is our goal. Our definition of successful project delivery is:
• Project completion that meets all project
requirements and specifications
• Project completion within budget
• Project completion on schedule
Our approach to the Murrieta Hot Springs Project , recognizing that both cost effectiveness and expedited construction are of primary concern, dictates that very close working partnership between the selected consultant and the City is vital to successful project completion. When this is coupled with the various site constraints, it is critical that the City choose a consultant team with a proven track record of delivering construction management and inspection projects. With a familiar team of senior level design and construction
professionals, TKE is the right choice for this project.
As mentioned above, our experience tells us that there must be a proactive approach to completing the work in order to complete cost effective fully functioning public works project.
This approach includes early identification of critical elements, and development of project schedule and tasks.
Critical elements for construction administration projects include funding source compliance, Utility Coordination, QA/QC, dispute resolution, public relations,
permitting/environmental compliance, and compliance with plans, specifications and standards, and site safety.
The most important key to every public works project is management. TKE, working closely with City staff, will ensure that the project is managed properly to expedited project delivery. Project construction will generate a series of considerations requir ing City responses. Our close working partnership will lead to the proper decisions and ultimately, fully operating, cost effective public works improvements.
TKE also understands the limits on the City’s budget, particularly funding. Because of the limited budget for City projects, it is vital to keep costs controlled. Our approach to controlling costs is to utilize our considerable experience with Constructi on Management and our unique knowledge of the City to assist in providing compliance with the contract documents, cost and dispute resolution.
Below are key elements of our commitment to service:
S TRICT C ONSTRUCTION
C OMPLIANCE
In order to ensure cost controls and maintain project
budgets, it is imperative that the City employ an experienced Inspection team. Our construction inspection team has
consistently delivered projects on -time and within budget by maintaining an active di alogue and hands on approach with the project contractor, while ensuring that all
construction is consistent with the bid plans and
specifications. We are familiar with applicable standards and specifications, including but not limited to the County of Riverside, the Local City, Greenbook, and Caltrans.
P ROJECT M ANAGEMENT
Project management will be an essential element for project delivery. Effective communications will lead to effective management. Management will include weekly reviews of
project budget and schedules and regular meetings with all project shareholders.
The most important aspect of management will be to ensure that the City’s interests are protected to the maximum
extent possible and project schedules are met. TKE will ensure that public funds are used for the benefit of the community. Any deviation from standards and
requirements will be referred to the public works director for the responsible jurisdiction and TKE will implement direction given by City staff.
Project requirements, project schedule compliance and
budget tracking will be important. Project requirements will be assessed by TKE staff and presented to the City’s
management staff. Upon receipt of direction from the City’s staff, TKE staff will be responsible to verify that construction is completed in compliance with those project
requirements. TKE’s effective project management
techniques will ensure that compliance will occur.
Maintaining the project schedule will be one of the most important tasks. Further, maintaining excellent
communications will prevent any project processing
misunderstandings and will avoid project delays. TKE’s developed management techniques have result ed in
efficient project delivery throughout our 24 year history.
U TILITIES
Construction contract change orders are primarily
attributable to utility relocation delays, inaccurate plotting of utility interferences or due to unknown utilities. TKE will actively coordinate with utility companies with affected facilities within the project area. We will ensure a project schedule is provided and adhered to, to help keep all
parties aware of upcoming requirements.

City of Murrieta
SECTION 3 | PROJECT APPROACH/WORK PLAN
T RAFFIC C ONTROL
Traffic impacts created by construction of the street
improvements must be mitigated to the maximum extent
practicable. When considering street widening ,
construction traffic control needs to be considered. Once the phasing is identified, traffic control design needs to be reviewed to ensure safe and convenient vehicular and
pedestrian mobility during construction operations. We have extensive experience in construction traffic control plan preparation and plan review and we are intimate ly familiar with the WATCH, Caltrans, and MUTCD
requirements. Our design will insure the project can be constructed with the least interference to daily traffic as possible.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
TKE’s Construction Manager and Inspectors are
experienced with public relations associated with
construction projects. TKE performs initial site visits to all potentially affected properties to discuss the upcoming project and any potential concerns the property owner
and/or tenant may have. TKE identifies improvements that will benefit the property owners to help them understand the importance of project construction. Our approach
builds a project coalition with the property owners and tenants which reduces public complaints at City Council meetings and provides a sense of ownership with the
project. TKE’s Inspector also performs routine visits during construction to check on the property owners concerns and to see if there are any issues that need to be mitigated.
QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY
CONTROL
TKE takes pride in our reputation for thoroughness, rapid turnaround, cost efficiency and overall quality of work, and believes that a high level of quality is needed on all aspects of construction projects. High quality review and inspection yields the following tangible results:
• Ease of oversight
• Smoother processing
• Absence of design-related change orders
• Reduced claims and dispute resolution costs
TKE believes that the most successful quality assurance program is one that is applied inherently throughout the entire management and inspection process. This program requires not only formal procedures for inspection, but encourages the conscientious effort of experienced people to always “create quality” in every task performed. All of our management and inspection personnel are trained to
identify potential construction issues before the occur, thereby saving time and money on potential costly change orders.
This Quality Assurance/Quality Control program is in place to ensure that project construction exceeds the standards of our clients and that we will deliver the project on
schedule and within budget.
D ISPUTE R ESOLUTION
TKE’s construction managers are highly skilled with and have provided dispute resolution on a number of past
projects. The keys to avoiding potential costly and time - consuming disputes are knowledge, communication and
organization. Our construction managers pride themselves on thorough research and review of the project plans and specifications and existing knowledge and understanding of Caltrans, Greenbook and other standard plans and
specifications. Their effective communications skills
ensure that all stakeholders are constantly advised of project progress and requirements. Their proactive
organizational program effectively manages the
construction schedule, documents action items with
required follow -up and continuous schedule reviews and anticipate needs for future action items. Our project manager’s ‘can do’ approach to all project issues nearly always results in resolution. They are non-combative with all project stakeholders, maintaining professional working relationships with each stakeholder r egardless of
conflict. Their perseverance and vast knowledge and
experience of issues will resolve challenges while
protecting City’s and local jurisdictional agencies interests.
B. PROJECT
UNDERSTANDING
The proposed Murrieta Hot Springs Road Improvement
Project is situated along Murrieta Hot Springs Road,
extending between Margarita Road and Winchester Road,
approximately 1.5 miles east of Interstate 215. The primary objective of this project is to widen the existing four -lane roadway to six lanes, enhancing traffic flow and safety. Key elements of the project include the installation of new traffic signals at the intersections of Murrieta Hot Springs Road with Calle Del Lago and Via Princesa. In addition, sidewalks and safety lighting will be constructed along both sides of the road, and water quality BMPs will be integrated into the parkway. The project will also feature landscaped and hardscaped raised medians to further improve the
streetscape.
This roadway improvement will facilitate better traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation between the western

and eastern parts of Murrieta, as well as provide improved connectivity to the City of Temecula.
The project will involve the construction of drilled soldier pile retaining wall systems on both sides of Murrieta Hot Springs Road, with some areas reaching a height of up to 15 feet. The total length of these retaining walls will be approximately 2,500 feet. Additionally, short planter walls will be added in locations where the soldier pile walls exceed a specific height.
The project also includes the realignment of the private street Via Frontera within the Ridgegate/Rhonda
Association community. Via Frontera will be shifted
approximately 6 feet north to accommodate the expanded
roadway. This realignment will necessitate u tility
relocations, including adjustments to water, gas, electricity, lighting, and irrigation systems within the community.
All work will be performed in strict accordance with the 2015 edition of the “Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction” (Greenbook), the 2010 and 2018

SECTION 3 | PROJECT APPROACH/WORK PLAN
Contractor Meeting -our Construction Manager will meet with the project contractor weekly. We will prepare agendas and minutes for each meeting. Meeting agenda will typically include background, old business, new business, scope,
objectives, traffic control, construction phasing, project schedule, potential issues discussion, payment quantities discussion, and any safety deficiencies observed.
Utilities/Agency Meetings -as mentioned above, TKE will invite utilities and agencies to the preconstruction
conference. During that meeting, all potential project impacts will be discussed with each. During construction, should issues develop needing further discussions with utilities/agencies, TKE will meet with each and develop remediation strategies. Again, all meetings will be documented with minutes.
Public Meeting-if required, TKE will coordinate with the City for public meetings to advise the public of pending construction and its impacts. Discussion may include alternative routes to be used to avoid delays and the project schedule.
In addition, the City will receive RFI’s and RFC’s (including written clarification requests and change -in-plan drawings) regarding the contract documents. TKE will provide any drawings, sketches and written responses in a timely manner to each with direction and will verify compliance with the Contract Documents. All RFI’s and RFC’s will be logged, including content of inquiry, date relayed and date of response. TKE will review all RFC’s for any potential change in scope and notify the City if potential change orders may arise from the RFC.
Deliverables: Agendas, Minutes, RFI and RFC Responses Task No. 2d – Construction Management
TKE is uniquely suited to respond to challenges that may occur during construction. Our first review of the project is during our QA/QC analysis. Our consistent communications with the construction inspector will also provide immediate remediation alternative development.
TKE will review the project schedule and construction progress prior to each Contractor meeting to verify compliance with the Contract Documents. In addition, we will prepare weekly statement of working days to be provided to the contractor at each weekly meeting. If the Contractor is failing to meet approved schedule contract obligations, TKE will request a remediation effort to return the project progress to comply with requirements. If the remediation plan requires
adjustment to the completion date, TKE will advise the City and will not execute any approval of such change without City authorization.
Change conditions and time extensions that may warrant a change order will require a complete understanding of the impacts of the change of which TKE will need to consider in determining its resolution. TKE will seek appropriate comments from anyone impac ted by the changed conditions and will closely consult with the City to develop the most cost effective remediation alternative. Cost and scheduling impacts will be noted and presented to the City in accordance with the cities change order procedures prio r to direction being given to the Contractor, including the preparation of Change Order drawings and specifications, if required.
To maintain cost controls, TKE will review project budgets on a weekly basis, or as warranted, by review of change orders, RFC’s, and progress payments. In particular, quantities used on the project will be tracked to verify that they will not exceed contract budgeted amounts. Each month TKE will provide a budget report to the City. Should an increase in budget be required, TKE will assist Staff with staff report preparation.
Regarding RFC’s, we will review any change order request received to determine if said request is warranted. If the change order request is not warranted, we will reject it in writing; prior to sending rejection letters to the Contractor, we will review i t with City staff. If the change order request appears justified, we will review it with the Construction Inspector and compare it with field reports for confirmation of materials, equipment and/or labor involved; we will review same with City staff and receive City staff’s approval prior to preparing and processing the contract change order. Change orders will be prepared on standard forms.
Should rejected RFC’s require additional consideration, we will negotiate with contractors to establish the impact of change conditions and we will attempt to complete negotiations prior to beginning work. If we fail to reach an agreement and the work must continue, we will direct the Contractor to complete the work. For all disputed work and force account work, the Construction Inspector will document the labor, materials and equipment used for the extra work for use in future
negotiations.
Upon direction from the City, TKE will continue negotiating with Contractors to settle all disputes; however, City staff will ultimately determine the extent the City will go to achieve resolution. TKE will meet with both parties, either
independently or together, as warranted until resolution is reached. TKE will complete all necessary calculations to support the City’s position. TKE utilizes a proactive dispute avoidance program. Once an issue is identified, TKE works diligently to resolve it as timely as possible. The weekly meetings will also be used to avoid or resolve these disputes.
TKE will perform labor compliance interviews with contractor and subcontractor personnel in accordance with the required schedule set forth in the LAPM. In addition, TKE will review certified payroll reports and ensure DBE utilization in compliance with state and federal requirements.
