MIG | Anaheim Coves Multi-Use Trail
Anaheim Coves, formerly Burris Basin, was a commercial source for sand and gravel before the Orange County Water District (OCWD) bought and transformed the quarry pit into a groundwater recharge basin. MIG developed a master plan and construction documents to create a universally accessible trail with viewing decks, interpretive signage, and California native plantings.
From a safe distance, visitors are able to enjoy the wildlife and 14 acres of open space around the basin. Due to the ongoing issue of improper maintenance for native planting, training of landscape maintenance staff was included in the specifications. This training portion of the specifications was developed as a living document that can be updated as the project matures.

MONUMENT | Interstate 405 Improvement Project
The right of way program included 286 partial acquisitions and 2 full take acquisitions. The partial acquisitions consisted of fee, roadway easements, slope easements, footing easements, public utility easements, and temporary construction easements. Both full acquisitions required the displacement of a total of 6 commercial tenants. The original parcel count was 386 acquisitions, however, through diligent collaboration between the right of way team and the design team during the preliminary design phase, nearly 100 parcels were eliminated from the project by adjusting the design requirements and minimizing the right of way footprint.

WORK APPROACH
City of Pico Rivera
Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 14
TYPICAL PROJECT APPROACH
BKF Engineers recognize that an organized On-Call project delivery approach is critical for project success. We understand that managing, building consensus, and obtaining project approvals and permits are often more challenging than preparing the actual design documents. Ensuring that these processes are managed will allow projects to be delivered on schedule and within budget.
BKF’s management philosophy integrates the following key components: managing the process; defining the critical issues; developing coordinated design documents; and validating implementation.
COMPONENT 1: MANAGING THE PROCESS
PROJECT WORK PROGRAM: When the City identifies a scope specific project, our Principal-in-Charge, Chris Rideout, PE and Project Manager, Sheila Amparo will be available to meet and review the Project goals. Based on the specific tasks provided, will assign a team who will be committed to the Project for the duration. We will develop a detailed project work program that identifies tasks and deliverables tailored to deliver the Project. We intend for this work program to be a living document that we update regularly to reflect the progress and needs of the Project.
DEFINED SCHEDULE: We will develop our work program with reference to a schedule in Microsoft Project format. Our dedicated Project Managers will update the schedule with the completion of each phase, discuss and gain concurrence with the City. The schedule is a critical tool for the Project Team, City, and other Stakeholders to ensure all agree to the tasks and delivery dates. It is imperative to regularly review the baseline schedule and identify any potential tasks that are slipping behind schedule. If this situation occurs, our PMs will work with the team to establish a recovery plan to bring the design schedule back into alignment with the baseline schedule. This recovery schedule will be discussed with the City to ensure concurrence moving forward.
DESIGN FEE: The BKF team will develop a fee for our services based on the agreed to scope of services and schedule.
COMPONENT 2: DEFINING CRITICAL ISSUES
CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS: For street/roadway projects, the Project Team will prepare geometric alignment studies to ensure the objective and standards for the improvements are adequately addressed. This early establishment and agreement with the City on the geometrics will allow the Project Team to identify critical issues, such as right of way acquisitions and utility relocations that require lengthy lead times that may affect the Project schedule and budget.
DEFINING CONSTRUCTION RISK: Risk assessment is key to managing the overall construction budget. Our experience is that characterizing subsurface soils and utilities is critical to managing unknowns that could lead to contractor change order and/or delays. BKF will work with City Staff to identify on any environmental considerations/mitigations early on in the project to ensure the project stays on schedule and can meet the environmental needs of the project as the design is developed. Comprehensive Construction Staging and Traffic Handling plans depicting vehicle/pedestrian circulation as well as efficient Contractor work areas are critical in clearly showing the intent/limit of any closures.
WORK APPROACH
City of Pico Rivera
Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 15
STAKEHOLDERS: Understanding the concerns of the Project’s stakeholders at the earliest stage in the design process is essential to prevent delays or conflicts. BKF will coordinate and attend all meetings to understand goals and objectives of all stakeholders and confirm they are aligned properly with the City. Engaging all stakeholders from the beginning of the design process through construction will minimize misunderstandings and will result in a project that meets all objectives.
COMPONENT 3: DEVELOPING COORDINATED DESIGN DOCUMENTS
COORDINATION: The communication conduit with the City will be with Sheila Amparo, PE, QSD, Project Manager. This single point of contact eliminates possible misunderstandings and duplication of effort.. This team will be responsible for solving technical challenges while developing the design in accordance with the City’s goals.
We will coordinate the work with other consultants, Staff, and other agencies to ensure collaboration and obtain Project approvals.
COORDINATING AGENCIES: BKF’s experience with public infrastructure projects has taught the value of having clear direct communication and of being accessible at all times during critical project stages. We believe our working relationships with local, state and federal agencies will allow us to streamline the process by minimizing costly lags in communication.
TECHNOLOGY: BKF implements the latest technology to develop designs including AutoCAD Civil 3D. We also have specialized simulation software to assist in the design of infrastructure including AutoTurn, StormCAD, WaterCAD, SewerCAD, HEC HMS, and HEC RAS.
For preparation of illustrative exhibits, we have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
All staff has access to the most current Microsoft Office applications suite.
COMPONENT 4: VALIDATING IMPLEMENTATION
INTERNAL QA/QC: BKF will complete an internal review of all project documents.
Under direct communication with the assigned Project Manager, Jason Kirchmann, PE, PLS will check the documents for errors, perform a constructability review, ensure our documents are coordinated with other disciplines, and suggest alternatives for cost savings. During this period all consultants on the team are required to review not only their own work, but evaluate the other disciplines designs to ensure there are no conflicts and design intent is consistent among the team members.
PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST: Evaluating the potential construction cost throughout the Project’s life is essential to create a feasible project. BKF is consistently involved in the design and construction of numerous projects each month that provide excellent insight into construction trends and costs. With each submittal, BKF will prepare an opinion of cost to assist in developing a project budget.
With BKF’s four-component approach, a detailed work plan, and continually monitoring, we believe that partnering is both aligned and reinforced. This ensures that the City together with BKF’s leadership and the team’s technical expertise, will meet its goals and objectives for a successful On-Call experience.
WORK APPROACH
City of Pico Rivera
Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 16
The BKF team is well organized to tackle the City of Pico Rivera’s needs in a timely manner.
We will assist the City in developing creative solutions to challenges as we have done so on previous projects. The continuity and long tenure of our staff is evidence that the personnel who we have committed to this On-Call will see the various projects through from start to finish. Each team member is cross trained and has a clear understanding of their role for each assignment. This will allow each team member to properly allocate their resources and make the necessary commitments to the project team. The following is a sample of our scope of services and will be revised according to the needs of each project issued by the City.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: As Project Manager, Sheila Amparo, PE, QSD/P, will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project design team, including the technical management of the project.
PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING/PUBLIC OUTREACH/PDT MEETINGS: BKF will develop the agenda, invite project team members and stakeholders and administer a project kick-off meeting. This meeting will confirm project scope, deliverables, schedule, communication conduits, invoicing, and establish future Project Development Team (PDT) meetings. BKF will prepare meeting minutes and distribute to all in attendance for review and concurrence. Our team will attend Project Development Meetings, Public Outreach, and City Council Meetings to support City Staff and the convey the Project goals.
MASTER PROJECT SCHEDULE/PROGRESS
REPORTS: Upon receipt of a task order from the
City, we will provide a Project Master Schedule
in Microsoft Project to the City. The schedule will
be updated and distributed during PDT meetings
to confirm the Project is tracking according to
expectations. BKF will prepare progress reports
indicating current tasks, outstanding items,
schedule monitoring, and future anticipated
meetings. The progress reports will be prepared
and submitted monthly to the City Project
Manager prior to the 15th of every month for the
duration of the project.
MONTHLY INVOICING: BKF will collect, review and compile invoices from the design team on a monthly basis and will provide the City with the teams composite invoice. Invoices will delineate the current percent complete by task which along with the project schedule can be used to confirm effort, payment, and deliverables are in agreement.

AGENCY AND UTILITY COORDINATION
STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATION: We will engage with the project stakeholders during the early phase of work. The BKF team will reach out and communicate with the project stakeholders, and update the contact person as necessary. As part of this effort, we will:
▪ Make necessary contacts with districts, parks and recreation or other involved agencies concerning facilities to determine design requirements for the construction of new facilities and structures.
▪ Coordinate with all affected agencies, including school districts, utilities, irrigation districts and government agencies, as necessary.
▪ Communicate with property owners as necessary.
UTILITY RESEARCH AND COORDINATION: Our standard practice when starting a new project is to engage the utility companies early in the project, and pro-actively work with them to protect their utilities, or to determine ideal relocation routes. We start by establishing the lines of communication with utility companies present within the project area, such as City of Pico Rivera Municipal Utilities Company, Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison and coordinate with the City of Pico Rivera Public Works Department as needed, by sending out Utility “A” Letters requesting for their record drawings and as-builts.
Once we have received all the as-builts and record drawings from each agency, we will incorporate the existing facilities into the utility base mapping in AutoCAD format. Upon completion of the utility base mapping, we will schedule a meeting simultaneously with all third-party utility companies in an “all-hands” meeting. At that meeting, we will present the project and identify utilities needing relocation. Most importantly, we will discuss the timeline for when the utility requires relocation to maintain the project schedule. At this “allhands” utility meeting, these utility companies are able to coordinate with each other and find opportunities to be in joint relocations reducing their construction costs and reduce their relocation schedules.
We will distribute the Utility “B” Letters with the composite utility plans, and request that they confirm their existing and future facilities. All the gathered utility information will update our comprehensive utility map and matrix that were used to supplement the project base sheets to provide a complete existing utility base. This level of effort will minimize construction costs and ensure the correct placement of the proposed improvements. As part of the utility coordination work, we will:
▪ Review and update as-built utility information
▪ Request utility mapping from all affected utility owners ▪ Update base mapping with existing utility information ▪ Based on our understanding of the utilities and the impact of our project on those utilities, we are not anticipating needing any potholing ▪ Submit utility maps to impacted utility owners for verification ▪ Identify potential utility conflicts
▪ Coordinate the above work with the utility owners

PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
DESIGN SURVEY: BKF will establish project controls, both vertically and horizontally, on the City datum and will set panels for the aerial survey. In areas where more detailed surveying will be required, BKF field crews will conduct a supplemental survey to gather information on critical points (i.e., CL, BCR, ECR, flow lines, edge of gutter) grades, utility structures, and other items necessary to complete the design. In addition, using available record information, BKF will review, research, and tie-in the existing right of way for the project limits.
Our survey crews utilize Leica and Trimble robotic total stations, Trimble R10 GPS receivers, and a Leica C10 & P40 high-definition laser scanner. Our computers include Dell desktops, laptops, and enterprise servers. We regularly invest in updates to our hardware and software including a full suite of Microsoft, Adobe, and Autodesk products. Scheduling is done with Microsoft Project. Our CAD software includes AutoCAD Civil 3D 2021 with AutoTurn, survey, and hydrology extensions. Electronic submittals can be provided in any format.
With the use of Leica P40 HDS Scanners, BKF has the ability to collect high resolution point cloud data at 1,000,000 points per second. The data gathered allows the ability to create 3-dimensional models of projects, including as-built surveys, topographical site surveys, roadway and highway surveys, ADA surveys, buildings, bridges, striping, and utility plants.

RECORDS RESEARCH AND FIELD REVIEWS: We will perform site visits with the City Staff, especially its Maintenance Crew and the Design Team, to identify key issues and concerns, that may not be as apparent. This is the opportunity to not only identify key issues and concerns, but identify and determine the scope and limits of work. To minimize construction cost, we will work closely with the City staff to identify critical items of work and satisfy the City’s vision in revitalizing its community. We will create an inventory of the field conditions, identifying areas that are non-ADA compliant to make recommendations to satisfy the standard requirements. As part of this task, a Field Condition Assessment Memo and a Photo Diary will be prepared and submitted.
NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PROGRAM COMPLIANCE: If required, our team can prepare an NPDES compliance memo which identifies the applicable NPDES Technical Documents and proposed Best Management Practices (BMPs). Possible Technical Documents may include, but are not limited to, a Water Quality Management Plan, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), or Storm Water Pollution Control Program (WPCP) as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Caltrans, or other state and federal agencies. A draft NPDES compliance memo will be submitted to the City for review and comments. Upon receiving of the review comments, the comments will be incorporated into the final NPDES compliance memo. Following NPDES compliance concurrence, the prescribed NPDES Technical Documents will be prepared.
PAVEMENT INVESTIGATION: On pavement rehabilitation projects, our Team will initially perform visual inspections. Based on the visual inspection of the existing pavement, we will identify the potential cause of any pavement failure such that an effective reconstruction/ rehabilitation strategy can be developed. We will explore the site’s subgrade soil condition and provide recommendations for the structural pavement section, as well as grading requirements for construction of the pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
Should on-site infiltration using BMP facilities is planned, we will evaluate the percolation characteristics of the site soils using appropriate site-specific percolation tests. The feasibility evaluation of the proposed BMP facilities should appropriately address the depth to groundwater and settlement/hydro collapse concerns of underlying soils. We will prepare and submit the Draft and Final Geotechnical Investigation Report, as well as the electronic version to the City.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION: BKF Engineers subconsultants, EMI or Ninyon & Moore, will provide, based on literature review, field explorations, laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and constructability reviews. The field exploration type, equipment, location, depth, and sampling pattern will be carefully selected so that required data is collected in an efficient manner. We will develop design solutions that are innovative yet practical and readily constructible, considering site constraints, design requirements, existing subsurface conditions, and long-term performance.
HYDROLOGY/HYDRAULICS/DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS: Based on the needs of a project, our Team will initiate the drainage design consistent with the concept design by performing a hydrology study of the drainage areas tributary to the project area. The hydrology study will typically consist of a Rational Method analysis performed with software developed by Advanced Engineering Software (AES). The software was designed to accept watershed data and perform Rational Method analyses in accordance with the Orange County Department of Public Works Hydrology Manual. The hydrology study will determine 10- and 25-year peak discharges at locations critical to flood water management.

Projects will be evaluated with respect to current water quality requirements as defined by the County’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit as issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. Once the requirements are established, preliminary plans for the implementation of storm water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be developed in parallel with the design of the flood control elements of the Project.
This parallel approach will result in an integrated water quality and flood control plan.
DRAFT CONCEPT PLANS: BKF will prepare the Draft Concept Plans that includes the critical elements of the project. These conceptual plans will depict the various design alternatives and aesthetic options the City will select from to progress to the Final Design.
With the budget permitting, a 3D visualization in support of public presentations and council meetings may be developed. Photosimulations (a technique in which proposed conditions are superimposed on photographs) shall be used to convey the various alternatives to City Council and project stakeholders.
We will capture ground and aerial photography, which the City will be able to provide input on the preferred ground and aerial perspective for use in the photosimulations. The exhibits shall include:
▪ Existing and proposed view from an aerial perspective ▪ Existing and proposed view from a ground perspective
INITIAL STUDY: BKF Subconsultant, LSA, will prepare an Initial Study briefly summarizing the proposed project, the existing project setting, and potential project impacts related to each of the environmental resource topics contained in the Environmental Information Form, which is provided as Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines.
The purpose of this Initial Study will be to provide the City with express findings related to each of these thresholds, thereby providing the City with the information needed to decide whether a Categorical Exemption is applicable to the proposed project. Otherwise if the Initial Study determines the Project may have significant impacts requiring mitigation then the Initial Study will serve as the basis for an IS/MND.
FINAL ENGINEERING
We will advance the preliminary concept plans to the final design level that have been reviewed and selected by the City.

Our team will attend Project Development Meetings, Public Outreach, and City Council Meetings to support City Staff and the convey the Project goals. ▪ MASTER PROJECT SCHEDULE/PROGRESS REPORTS: Upon receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the City, we will develop and deliver a Project Master Schedule in Microsoft Project to the City within 10 days. The schedule will be updated and distributed during PDT meetings to confirm the Project is tracking according to expectations. BKF will prepare progress reports indicating current tasks, outstanding action items, schedule monitoring, and future anticipated meetings. The progress reports will be prepared and submitted monthly to the City Project Manager prior to the 15th of every month for the duration of the project.
▪ MONTHLY INVOICING: BKF will collect, review and compile invoices from the design team on a monthly basis and will provide the City with the teams composite invoice. Invoices will delineate the current percent complete by task which along with the project schedule can be used to confirm effort, payment, and deliverables are in alignment.
DELIVERY CONTROL
▪ DEFINED SCHEDULE: A Microsoft Project schedule will be based on the work plan jointly developed by the City and BKF. At each phase, BKF will update the schedule which will incorporate time for the City to review the documents. Any deviations in the schedule will be discussed promptly with the City.
▪ OUTSTANDING ISSUES MATRIX: BKF will track all outstanding design and program issues in a matrix to facilitate discussions with the City and internal team. This matrix tracks design issues, costs and the schedule.
▪ SCHEDULE RECOVERY: If a delay in the schedule is encountered, either by the stakeholders or by the design team, BKF will develop a comprehensive revised schedule to bring the project back in compliance with the project delivery date. BKF will develop this plan, gain commitment from sub-consultants and present and gain agreement from the City. The plan will include staffing augmentations, possible concurrent activities, and a monitoring mechanism to ensure the schedule recovery remains on track. BKF has more than 450+ employees that are experienced in all aspects of municipal projects, which allows us to bring the staffing horsepower to the project to avoid slippage in schedules and maintain the City’s delivery date.

COST CONTROL
▪ PROGRESS REPORTS: Our Project Manager will provide progress reports to the City to demonstrate the team is tracking with the project schedule. These reports will be comprehensive in nature to keep all design team members, City, and project Stakeholders appraised of the status of various tasks, any schedule
▪ CONSTRUCTION COST: BKF integrates cost estimates for each milestone delivery and compares to the baseline costs established early on in the project. During the initial tasks the BKF Team will refine the intent of the Concept Plan and develop a conceptual construction estimate in alignment with current construction costs due to inflation. BKF understands there are finite budgets associated with these capital improvement projects and will track and tailor the design accordingly.
QUALITY ASSURANCE /QUALITY CONTROL
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM: BKF will utilize Jason Kirchmann, PE, PLS as our dedicated Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manager. Jason’s key role is to ensure the Quality Control procedures delineated below are closely followed and the procedure documented.
LEVEL 1: INTERNAL REVIEW - EACH DISCIPLINE IS REQUIRED TO CONDUCT AN INTERNAL REVIEW PERFORMED PRIOR TO EACH MILESTONE SUBMITTAL.
A senior staff member at the firm, other than on the design team, shall review the documents prepared by the design team. This review will require that all items on the documents be highlighted in yellow indicating the review has occurred and there are no exceptions to the document. This process is for the entire document (i.e. north arrows, station call-outs, profile grid designation, etc.).
▪ If the reviewer identifies an item on the document that is not correct, then it is marked in red. If the reviewer has comments for clarifications, then it is marked in green. ▪ After the review is complete, the document is returned to the design team with a signature (documentation) indicating the review is complete.
▪ The design team will review and address all items in red and meet with the reviewer on the items in green until a clarification allows for the reviewer to yellow the item, or a red mark is added.
▪ The design team will then resolve the red marks and return the reviewers original markup along with a clean print. The reviewer will document the comments that have been addressed by yellowing out the original red mark and placing yellow on the clean set, and signing the document.
LEVEL 2: INTER-DISCIPLINARY REVIEW - THIS REVIEW IS TO CONFIRM THAT THERE ARE NO INTER- DISCIPLINARY CONFLICTS AND OCCURS AT THE 95% AND FINAL SUBMITTAL MILESTONES.
▪ All disciplines provide their plans to BKF for collation. BKF will assemble the sets and distribute to the design team.
▪ Each discipline will review the others and similar to the process delineated in Level 1 above, marking in yellow, red, or green, and return to BKF for collation. ▪ A meeting will be held with all the disciplines in attendance, and the documents with all red or green comments will be discussed and resolved between disciplines. ▪ The resolutions will be marked in red and returned to the designer for incorporation as described above in the Level 1 procedure.
