Fiscal Impact:
The contract amount for each firm is not-to-exceed $2,500,000 for a term of five (5) years to provide design engineering services. No Purchase Orders (PO) will be opened upon execution of these agreements. The Engineering Division will process POs on an as-needed basis with selected firms to provide the engineering services. It is CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024
ON-CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES – AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENTS
anticipated that future work may be awarded to any of the consulting firms, depending on their competitive task proposals that they will submit on a project-by-project basis.
Accounts for the PO’s will be established based on the task-order and projectappropriated funding source(s) associated with each City capital project assigned to the consulting firm. Funding will be based on appropriations approved for each project’s budget, with funds such as Local Return funds, applicable State grants and budgeted General Fund.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department develops plans, specifications and estimates for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). In anticipation of the implementing and streamlining projects approved in the City’s adopted budget, staff recommends for the City to have access to on-call engineering services for various Public Works projects. Typical services provided under this procurement include planning, project management, community outreach, preliminary engineering, environmental studies, surveying, utility coordination, right of way coordination and determination, preparation of engineering plans specifications, estimates, and grant administration assistance. The services will be provided for, but not limited to, roadway pavement rehabilitation and/or restoration, streetscape, landscaping and irrigation systems, utility, bridges, safety lighting, traffic signal, water treatment and distribution systems, sewer systems, flood control and storm drain facilities, parks, general facilities and other Public Works construction projects. All services will be provided on an as-needed basis.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call engineering services was posted on PlanetBids through the City’s website on January 3, 2024. On February 14, 2024, the City received proposals from 26 firms in response to the RFP. A panel of four (4) staff members independently reviewed the proposals submitted by each firm and scored them based on the qualifications criteria prescribed in the RFP, including responsiveness, capabilities, experience, knowledge, expertise of the firm, qualifications, educational background, track record of proposed team members working together on relevant projects/services, and quality of past performance for the City or similar agencies.
In order to maximize the City’s flexibility, staff recommend awarding contracts to 16 firms to provide engineering services. The 16 firms are necessary because approximately 7-8 firms we are considering as specialty firms that will provide specific trade engineering design (i.e. electrical, structural, rail, etc.). The other 8-9 firms will be general in nature. Due to turnover in staff from consultants and firms being bought out at a growing pace, we feel this number is necessary. On top of that, due to the list of CIP projects requiring design services, more firms may be needed.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024

The City reserves the right to assign projects to one or more of the consultants at its sole discretion based on project requirements, the requirements of the funding source for the project, as well as the availability and ability of each consultant. Selection of a firm does not necessarily guarantee the award of work of any specific contract value.
Having a large pool of consultants will offer the City a wide range of expertise, allow for availability of resources and maintain competitive pricing when selecting firms for specific projects and/or task orders.

For each TO, we will provide a Project Management Plan with the appropriate level of detail scalable to the size of the TO and will guide the project to successful delivery.
• Familiarity with local, regional, and state agencies that will be stakeholders in the City’s capital improvement efforts. As the future of infrastructure investment unfolds in and around the City, HDR’s decades of relationships with the state and regional agencies, the councils of government, the resource agencies, and adjoining cities will significantly benefit the City. HDR also brings program management experience and expertise in obtaining funding through grant applications for our clients. Our environmental team members shine with recent successes in obtaining environmental clearances with multiple agencies.

B. Qualifications of the Firm
Strength and Stability of the
Firm
HDR has not been acquired by or merged with any
other companies since becoming employee-owned
in 1996. We take pride in our strategic plan to remain
independent, subsequently bringing consistency,
stability and strength to our operational efficiency.
We have one of the lowest turnover rates in the
industry. HDR has a focused approach to sustain
our clients’ satisfaction by providing permanence
in our leadership and providing empowered and
motivated staff to work on your projects.
HDR is growing in numbers and expertise. In
2021, HDR acquired WKE, expanding our growth
and adding key resources in addition to the
great staff that was already available in Southern
California. HDR’s acquisition program supports our
strategic growth objectives of enhancing company
capabilities, broadening service offerings, and
expanding geographically to best serve new and
existing clients. Our acquisition investments are a
key part of our long-term growth strategy. We look
at acquisitions to help us deepen our core services
in markets, expand our geographical presence and
grow new services for our clients.
Current Staffing Capability
The HDR Team is available to provide the City with
an entire range of skills for TOs included under this
contract. We are a full-service company with project
managers, discipline leads, and technical experts
that have the experience and understanding to
successfully execute your projects. With thousands
of people in hundreds of locations, we provide
experienced professionals to complement your
existing expertise, providing depth when you need it
and meeting the unique demands of your contract.
Current Staffing Availability and Work
Load
HDR has assembled a team of key personnel and
support staff for this contract based upon numerous
factors. Area of expertise, type and amount of
experience, and availability play a role when we
decide who is best to include on a given project
organizational chart. This personnel selection
process is critical in verifying the City has access to experts in particular specialties and disciplines as
required by the Scope of Services. All of the key
personnel that we have proposed in Section C
Proposed Staffing are 100 percent committed to
serving the City on this contract.
Proven Record of Meeting Schedules on
Similar Types of Projects
Our team specializes in the use of Microsoft Project
and Primavera P6 to establish the primary project
schedule in accordance with the work breakdown
structure so that cost, duration, and resources can
be integrated into each work element for budgeting
and monitoring purposes. We can implement
detailed resource-loaded TO schedules to verify
adequate staffing for on-time delivery.
The depth and range of HDR’s experience in
meeting schedules on similar types of projects
are demonstrated by the successful completion
and delivery of awarded contracts for both oncall and specific projects for numerous agencies.
Specific examples are provided on the following
pages along with Table B.2 which demonstrates
HDR’s capabilities and capacity to deliver
elements of the Scope of Services. We have also
highlighted additional project proofs in Section E
Work Approach.
08 The City contracted with HDR to assist with evaluating the potential for a transit hub within their jurisdiction that would include relocation of the existing Metrolink station from Commerce to Pico Rivera, the establishment of a BRT along the adjacent north-south Lakewood-Rosemead Boulevard corridor from Long Beach to Pasadena, and the incorporation of the proposed Metro E Line Station at Washington Boulevard on this corridor. The project included coordinating with SGVCOG on their Transit Feasibility Study, focusing on their BRT recommendation for Rosemead Boulevard and providing an analysis of the potential benefits and impacts to a BRT route on Rosemead Boulevard in the City. HDR was also tasked with coordinating with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) on their Lakewood/Rosemead Boulevard Master Plan and Complete Street Evaluation Report and providing an analysis of what elements would have to be modified to pursue a BRT along this corridor. HDR provided the City with a summary of potential regional coordination issues; drafted an implementation schedule; assisted with coordination meetings with LA Metro, Long Beach Transit, and cities along the proposed BRT corridor; and prepared a white paper on the potential creation of a Rosemead-Lakewood Boulevard BRT corridor Joint Powers Authority (JPA) along with a draft JPA Agreement.

project communication procedures, delivery of
the required services, the submittal process and
securing approvals. The PMP incorporates the four
following key elements:
1. Operations Plan. The Operations Plan will
assign the appropriate staff and verify that they have
a clear direction, well-defined deliverables, and fully understand the scope, process, schedule, budget,
and priorities. Project document control and subconsultant management guidelines will be defined.
2. Communication Plan. The Communication
Plan will establish the communication protocol to
verify that project concerns, issues, and directions
will be handled promptly and effectively. The
Communication Plan will include team member
contact information and communication procedures,
including guidelines for email, distribution
lists, document forms and templates, and a
communication protocol matrix.
It will be distributed to the entire team and defines
the roles and responsibilities of each team member.
3. Quality Management Plan (QMP). The QMP
will define the procedures and requirements for
the project deliverables to meet HDR, City, and
local agencies’ (if applicable) standards. Once the
schedule is approved, the QMP will list mandatory
management reviews, deliverable reviews,
and interdisciplinary reviews, with dates and
identified reviewers.
4. Production Plan. The Production Plan will outline
each team member’s responsibilities, procedures for
initiating and advancing the work, and timing of the
preparation of deliverables. Design criteria and CAD
standards will be defined.

E. Work Approach
B. Community Outreach
Community outreach will include attending and
providing support and materials for City and/or City
Council presentations and community outreach
meetings, including but not limited to, PowerPoint
presentations, project fact sheets, concept
renderings, GIS storymaps, plans and drawings
and answering questions from the public and/or
committee or council members. Graphic visuals shall
be prepared for both print and digital applications.
Outreach efforts will be closely coordinated and
based on direction from City staff. Once it is
determined that a study and/or a design effort
requires public input, the HDR Team will offer
specific recommendations on the methods and
timing as well as the types of support material to be
used. We will collaborate with the City on identifying
stakeholders and the most effective outreach
methods. Outreach efforts can range from in-person
community meetings, virtual meetings, or web-based
community input to material that is direct mailed.
The HDR Team is also prepared to support City staff
with community communications during construction
with roadway advisories and pre-construction
community information events.
C. Preliminary Engineering and
Planning Studies
Upon the decision of the City to initiate studies
to determine the feasibility of a project, the HDR
Team will work with City staff to establish a scope
to provide the City, community, and City Council the
information needed to make decisions to pursue the
project further, make modifications, or potentially
take a different approach. These initial studies could
include Feasibility Studies, Preliminary Project
Reports, environmental screening, geometrics,
right-of-way impacts, traffic impact analyses, cost
estimating, energy savings, sustainability reviews,
safety reviews, compliance with the goals of the
mobility element of the City’s General Plan, and
compatibility with regional plans. Under preliminary
engineering and planning studies, plan development
can reach the 30 percent conceptual level and result
in the initiation of required environmental studies.
D. Surveys, Mapping, and Field
Reviews
HDR is prepared to provide requested survey
services, including preparing base mapping for
roadway projects, property boundary surveys,
alta surveys, and of right-of-way maps; setting or
re-establishing survey monuments; establishing
elevation monuments; and checking grades during
construction. The scope of comprehensive base
mapping and surveying will include Control Surveys,
Topographic Surveys, Monument Establishment,
Aerial Photogrammetry, Right-of-Way Retracement,
and a Record of Survey. Formal surveying shall
be conducted in accordance with the Professional
Land Surveyors’ Act and California Business and
Professions Code. Survey work will also include
review of record drawings and field verification.
As part of the LACDPW LA County Proposition
218 Outreach Support Project, our Community
Outreach Task Lead, JC Erickson, is supporting
the Sewer Maintenance Division with community
outreach aimed at raising public awareness of the

increase in the annual sewer service charge.
HDR Relevant Project Experience
24 E. Environmental Studies and
Documentation
The HDR Team can assist with the type of
environmental documentation and supporting studies
that are required for the City’s projects. HDR can
prepare documentation from exemption to full EIRs
and can do so for both compliance with CEQA and
NEPA depending on the dedicated funding sources
for the project. The environmental analyses will
also include the application for required regulatory
permits such as NPDES, CWA Section 401
certification, as well as encroachment permits from
agencies such as Caltrans and the County of Los
Angeles. For NEPA documents, HDR will assist in
obtaining the appropriate federal agency approvals,
or when delegated to the state, from Caltrans.
F. Utility Research and
Coordination
Most roadway projects will impact, in some manner,
both existing overhead and underground utilities as
well as proposed additions or upgrades of those
facilities. The HDR Team will assist the City in
determining the location and potential impacts to
utilities within the project limits, including gravity
systems such as sewer and storm drains. This work
will include requesting and reviewing utility maps,
preparing utility base sheets, creating a utility matrix, and verifying utility locations in the field. Once
impacts are determined, the HDR Team will assist
the City in the coordination with the affected utility
companies and/or public agencies responsible for
the modification or relocation of those facilities.
G. Right-of-Way Phase and
Determination
The HDR Team will assist the City on projects
determined to require the acquisition of right-ofway by providing appraisal services and property assessments, preparing offers to purchase, and
coordinating escrow documents and recordation. In
addition, HDR is prepared to provide documentation
required for eminent domain proceedings and filings.
Acquisitions can include temporary construction
easements, right of entries, permanent easements,
and partial and full acquisitions, including relocation assistance (if required by law). If the project
is federally funded, the required right-of-way
certifications in accordance with Caltrans Local
Assistance Procedures Manual will be prepared and
submitted for approval.
H. Design
Upon the City’s determination to proceed with
a project, the HDR Team will assist the City in
completing necessary plans, specifications, and
estimates for the project. These services may
include, but not be limited to, geotechnical, roadway,
geometrics, traffic signal design, striping, signage,
drainage and sewer facilities, lighting, landscaping,
city buildings, bridges, water, sewer, storm drain
systems, transit facilities, bikeways, and ADA
improvements. Plans and specifications will be made
As part of the LA Metro SR-57/SR-60
Interchange Improvement Project PS&E, our

E. Work Approach
to City standards and requirements (i.e. Greenbook,
AutoCAD standard plans, and specifications), or if
under another agency’s jurisdiction, will be to those
standards. Detailed cost estimates will be prepared
at each phase of design (30 percent, 65 percent, 95
percent, and 100 percent). Design efforts will include
the application for, and the processing of, required
regulatory/encroachment permits which will be made
a part of the project specifications.
I. Construction Phase
Authorization
Most federal grants, as well as some state and
regional grants, will require the City to apply for
Request for Authorization to proceed to construction.
For federally funded projects, this will require
obtaining approval of an E-76 form, that in turn
may require right-of-way certifications, utility
certifications, agency cooperative agreements, as
well as environmental clearance documentation.
When cities, familiarity with these forms and
requirements is limited, the HDR Team can assist in
completing these approval requests and supporting
documentation which we achieve on a regular
basis. The HDR Team is prepared to assist the City
in preparation of these documents for submittal,
including working with the Caltrans Local Assistance
Office, if necessary, and verifying that project
documentation is in order for subsequent audits.
J. Bid Support Services
Under bid support services, HDR will provide
an electronic copy of the final approved plans
and specifications (plans in both AutoCAD and
PDF formats; specifications in both MS Word
and PDF formats) and a hard copy of the final
approved specifications.
Upon the City’s release of the solicitation for bids
for a project, the HDR Team will assist the City
in responding to bid document inquires, prepare
addendums as needed, review bids upon receipt,
assist with responses to protests, and also assist
with processing the award documentation.
K. Construction Support
Services
During construction, the HDR Team will assist
the City, as necessary, with responding to RFIs,
reviewing submittals and shop drawings, reviewing
construction claims, providing inspection and
construction management services, and providing
recommendations and support for unforeseen
conditions during construction. Services will also
include attending pre-construction meetings,
construction progress meetings, and field meetings.
Upon project completion, the City will be provided
as-built final plans that includes AutoCAD files with
necessary revision notations.
L. Grant Administration
The HDR Team is prepared to assist the City in
researching grant opportunities, assessing grant
criteria fit to the various projects or studies the City is pursuing, preparing grant applications and support
material, assisting staff in obtaining agency support
letters, following up on inquiries from the grantors,
and assisting with Award Package and Final Report
As part of the reevaluation of the Environmental
Document for the LA Metro Whittier Boulevard
Intersection Improvements PS&E, HDR
performed a QC review of the traffic analysis
methodology and determined that widening for the
proposed right turning lanes at both intersection
improvements were not necessary. We saved the
City of Whittier additional cost for construction and
eliminated the need for permanent acquisitions
due to the proposed widening.
HDR Relevant Project Experience
26 of Expenditures. Once the City has been awarded
grant funding, the HDR Team will assist the City in
preparing required Authorizations to Proceed (E-76)
for phases and assist with preparation of invoices for
grant reimbursements.
M. Prior Rights Expertise
After the determination that a utility relocation will
be necessary, the City must determine who will be
responsible for the costs of the relocation. This will
be dependent on where the utility is located, when
it was installed, and the franchise agreements it is
operating under. The HDR Team will assist the City
in reviewing the applicable franchise agreements,
applicable state statutes, easements descriptions,
and utility plans to determine cost allocations.
HDR will provide and coordinate research of prior
rights. We will coordinate and track requests and
receipt of prior rights from third-parties as part of
an iterative process. A Report of Investigation (ROI)
will be prepared that will include a review by the City Attorney’s Office to validate prior rights. The HDR
Team will also represent the City at meetings with
utilities regarding the determination of prior rights
and cost allocations.
HDR will serve as the single focal point for utility
issues in relation to prior rights and the nature of
replacements rights that result. In addition, HDR will
provide the City with a detailed utility matrix and log.
Our Work Approach Philosophy
The HDR Team is collectively committed to
achieving client satisfaction and providing an
exceptional level of experience and successful
project delivery. We have the depth of expertise and
resources to be flexible and responsive, and we
recognize the importance of schedule and budget
constraints, as well as the requirements for quality.
Mark and our Task Leads will meet with the City
Project Manager and the Project Development
Team (PDT) to discuss aspects of the task, goals,
objectives and expectations. He will then prepare a
PMP with a Work Plan that includes a well-defined
scope of work, staffing plan, schedule, and budget
for the City Project Manager’s review and approval.
Following City approval, HDR will commence work
by implementing our proven work plan systems and
procedures in accordance with the contract.

D. Consultants and/or Sub-consultants
As a full-service engineering firm, Willdan possesses the professional expertise and staff capabilities and availability required to complete the City’s Scope of Work. However, we bring extensive and long-term relationships with reputable professional DBE firms in Southern California to enable our clients to meet federal goals for their funded projects.
E. Work Approach
Management Approach
Multiple Task Order Project Management Approach Overview Our approach to serving the City on this contract is based upon our 60-year history of serving public agencies.
Willdan utilizes a management approach, whereby each assignment is undertaken by a project team. Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff with the background, experience, and availability best suited for the assignment. Willdan has designated a team to provide on-call support services to the City for specific projects/task orders. The fundamental goal of Willdan's team is to provide the City with the highest level of support in completing the as-needed special tasks. This will require close personal coordination between Willdan and the City. To accomplish this, we will conduct interactive meetings with City staff Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 22
throughout the course of each assignment to ensure all issues are addressed. Our team has a broad variety of talent and experience in city engineering; development review; public works permitting and inspection; capital improvement project design, inspection, and contract administration; facility and infrastructure maintenance and repair; surveying; and soils investigation. Combined with our understanding of the desired services, Willdan can assist the City with successful completion of all engineering matters.
Willdan will commit the appropriate staff to ensure specific projects, as well as the overall contract, are successful. Our intended approach is to:
Fully understand each project
Review each project scope of work in detail with City staff Agree on course or extent of best-suited action
Proceed with project accordingly
Having successfully completed many other assignments of this type for other agencies within the Los Angeles and Southern California regions, Willdan's proposed team understands City processes and possesses the technical and communication skills that are vital to ensuring each task receives the necessary attention, objectives are met, schedules are adhered to, and project tasks are within budget.
Keys to Success – Task Order Project Management
Be proactive in informing City staff of project issues along with proposed resolutions Commit to project schedules
Develop and maintain collaborative, trusting working relationships with City staff Be flexible on staffing and types of services provided to meet City's needs Be cost-effective
Have continuous-improvement mentality
Be responsive to needs of City and involved communities Communication Approach
Willdan recognizes that effective, ongoing cooperative communication between all parties over the course of any assignment is essential to successful project completion. This communication starts with a project kickoff meeting where the objectives and expectations of the City for each task order/assignment are clearly articulated and understood by Willdan. In addition, agreed-upon methods and scheduling of formal reporting are established with identification of individuals to be involved in the project's decision-making process. This sets forth accountability and responsibility for informing and facilitating the project. As the project progresses, communication continues through regular correspondence, teleconference discussions, and meetings with City staff seeking direction on issues that may arise and keeping City staff apprised of the project. Clear and concise progress updates are provided. Emails and teleconferences are utilized whenever possible and appropriate to minimize City staff time spent in meetings.
Methodology
Willdan's methodology focuses heavily on client service and communications. As a firm with a strong public agency orientation, many of our client relationships are long-term and ones in which our staff develops intimate familiarity with the client's staff since we very often serve as an extension of public agency staff. As such, it is extremely important that our presence on each assignment is seamless. Willdan's staff assigned Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 23
as Project Manager, City Engineer, Land Surveyor, Traffic Engineer, Building Official, and other higher-level positions most often work independently of the other project team members, since they are generally working directly for and with public agency staff as a part of the agency's staff. In this instance, the project team’s role is subservient to the primary assignment and only comes into play on a support basis or on a project-specific basis, such as for additional services for capital improvement project design, reviewing tract and parcel maps, and structural assessments.
Technical Approach
As previously stated, upon receipt of a project assignment or award, Tyrone will analyze the project and assign a Discipline Manager with the appropriate qualifications and experience to ensure tasks are completed in accordance with the City's goals and visions. Together, they will select qualified team members to provide technical support for the project. Tyrone will convey all-important matters to the assigned Discipline Manager and the selected project team as appropriate. The Discipline Manager will, then, take full responsibility for understanding the project requirements, detailing the project scope requirements, and estimating the fee to complete the project effectively and efficiently. The assigned Discipline Manager will maintain the team members assigned to the project from beginning to end. This means the same individuals responsible for design elements are the same individuals reviewing shop drawings, preparing as-built plans, or responding to questions during the bidding or construction process. This management approach has been proven on past projects to be effective in delivering projects on time, within budget and to the client’s satisfaction.
The Six Key Components Approach
Project Reporting
and Meeting
Tyrone will develop reports to be delivered electronically to key City of Pico Rivera staff as requested using a standard memorandum format developed by our team and as approved by the City. Regular progress meetings will be conducted by Tyrone to acquire information, keep staff informed of key design decisions, and obtain staff concurrence on project issues as the City requests.
Staffing and
Resource
Management Plan
Willdan is completely committed to providing the staffing and resources required to complete projects under this contract on schedule and with high quality. To ensure we meet this commitment, we prepare labor projections for all projects. Projections are made for each individual project and then aggregated by the technical director to produce division/office-wide labor needs and identify shortages or surpluses.
Labor planning for this contract will be conducted on an individualized basis. Tyrone, together with each assigned Discipline Manager, will identify the staff required to complete each awarded project and calculate the hours. This data will be input into our project staffing needs plan on a weekly basis. If the City awards Willdan a significant amount of work, Willdan will hire additional personnel, if needed, to provide additional support, as necessary.
For activities that do not require a specific person (i.e., draftsperson, technical aide, word processing, etc.), this estimate will be done on a position basis. Project staffing assignments will match the experience of personnel with the degree of project complexity. Because resources are often shared for any given project, our project managers are very involved in our staff workload projections.

Project Initiation
Our project approach includes our dedication to meet early with City of Pico Rivera staff to finalize the scope, schedule, and process, as discussed above. The assigned Discipline Manager – together with Tyrone – will hold a kick-off meeting with key City staff outlining the project schedule, specific needs, and project information as appropriate. The Discipline Manager will prepare the meeting agenda and notes and provide them to City staff in a timely manner. Once approved by the City, Willdan will await a notice to proceed from the City of Pico Rivera At this point, we will begin preliminary engineering and the project officially begins.
Project Objectives
The objectives of any project are essentially the objectives of the City of Pico Rivera. Prior to initiating Willdan’s efforts, a thorough understanding of City concerns and objectives is essential to ensure project success. Willdan will work closely with City staff and other involved agencies to identify specific goals, objectives, and challenges. The initial project scope and needs assessment are vital since the City of Pico Rivera’ and other involved agencies' goals could impact the schedule and overall cost.
Project Scoping
Once the Discipline Manager has identified the City of Pico Rivera’s goals for a project, the Discipline Manager will work with Tyrone to develop a comprehensive scope that clearly identifies the various tasks and associated deliverables – a critical component to ensure an effective and attainable project schedule. Willdan will develop a detailed scope of work that adheres to the sequence of tasks necessary to provide for project planning and design.
Development of a comprehensive scope of work will aid Tyrone in minimizing miscommunication among all project team members, including City of Pico Rivera staff and respective stakeholders.
Scheduling
Scheduling is a key component in any design process or project assignment. It enables the team to effectively deliver an on-time, within-budget project. It provides City staff and other reviewing agencies with the information they need to mobilize resources for timely reviews of project deliverables. The schedule allows the project team to mobilize appropriate staff in a timely manner to perform the tasks necessary for each deliverable.
After task requirements are identified, the Discipline Manager will work closely with Tyrone to determine staff availability. Tasks will, then, be allocated to project team members, depending upon the workload and skill sets relative to the scope.
Critical path methodology is used, and resource and cost loading are included when appropriate. Specific critical path items and key critical decisions that affect project progression are identified on a continuous basis.
Quality Assurance and Control
Quality assurance and control are critical to ensuring sound practices are applied and quality deliverables are produced. Vanessa Muñoz, PE, TE, will serve as the Quality Assurance Manager overseeing the quality assurance activities for services provided to the City. Vanessa is an accomplished manager who assists public agencies in serving their constituents with temporary as-needed staffing assistance or long-term assignments. He accomplishes this through his skilled insights into hiring and selecting staff with the right qualifications to create a seamless transition between Willdan and agency staff. Vanessa provides innovative solutions in engineering and construction management services for large-scale multi-discipline public works projects – working diligently to meet public agency budgets and schedules. His areas of expertise encompass capital improvement program (CIP) implementation, annual budget preparation, funding and grant Proposal for On-Call Engineering Services 25
administration, stormwater/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) guidelines, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. Vanessa is also a proficient negotiator and collaborator with well-developed decision-making and organizational skills. Typical quality assurance activities entail ensuring the appropriate level of technical staff, monitoring the quality of assignment completion and turnaround times for reviews, providing expert guidance on challenging project components, and keeping open communication regarding contract performance with City personnel.
Keys to Success – Quality Assurance and Control
Project Kick-Off Meetings – All project team members will meet to discuss and clarify the project scope, schedule, and other pertinent information related to the service or project. This meeting is conducted upon receipt of the notice to proceed and prior to any work being performed. This meeting can be an in-person meeting or conference call depending on the complexity of the assigned project. Continual Communication – The appropriate people from Willdan identified in the kick-off meeting are responsible for keeping the City up to date on project status and issues raised throughout the project.
This is accomplished through regular meetings, written status reports, or other means of communication requested.
Periodic Updates through Project Status Meetings – At the project kick-off meeting, the project team determines and selects meeting dates throughout the project to discuss coordination, issues, changes, and other information necessary to keep the project on track in terms of quality, schedule, and budget. Objective Review of Project by Peers – Prior to the submittal of a project to the City, appropriate staff members review the project to ensure all information is accurate. Willdan staff conducting these reviews are not directly involved with the project – enabling objectivity in the review. Depending upon the complexity of the project, the four levels of our quality assurance review for project deliverables may entail:
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 Following our keys to success, Vanessa will assign senior staff members experienced in the required disciplines and not directly involved in the assignments to implement project-specific quality assurance activities. Each senior member of staff will report directly to Vanessa but work closely with Tyrone and his Task Managers to ensure project objectives are met at project completion. Random audits will be conducted to ensure proper quality assurance activities have been accomplished with necessary corrective actions taken. These audits involve verifying task completion, validating the quality review, confirming comments resolution, and verifying that agreed-upon changes are reflected in each affected document. Vanessa will regularly seek feedback on how Willdan's team is performing and how we can improve upon the level of service.

General Engineering Services, City of Lakewood, CA. The Lakewood Boulevard Capacity Enhancement project limits extend from Del Amo Boulevard to Lakewood’s north city limits, approximately 1.5 miles. Lakewood Boulevard is a designated truck route that supports goods movements from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The main objective of the project is to install a Class I bike path and sidewalk in the parkway area and to install minor roadway capacity enhancements on Lakewood Boulevard including dual left turn lanes at the intersection of Hardwick Street. Since the active transportation improvements will be constructed in the parkway, the existing roadway capacity will be maintained.
Other improvements include utility undergrounding, traffic signal improvements, LED street lighting, ADA enhancements, and green street improvements such as landscaped median islands, parkway trees, and stormwater retention. The estimated construction cost of this project is $38 million.

Improvements included asphalt, curb ramps, curb and gutter, sidewalks and catch basins. Bike lanes were also installed. Street rehabilitation strategies included coldmill with ARHM overlay and/or full-depth reconstruction. During the field review in preparation of the preliminary plan, Willdan identified sections to be reconstructed and noncompliant or missing ADA features; gutter replacements; and existing sidewalk, access ramp, and driveway issues. Prepared 65%, 95% and 100% plans, specifications and estimate and provided construction support.
Garfield Avenue Rehabilitation Project, City of Paramount, CA. Willdan provided design engineering services for street improvements through the Garfield Avenue corridor between the north and south city limits. The design involved street widening to accommodate a third lane in each direction; street resurfacing; two concrete intersections; concrete sidewalk curb and gutter and driveway approach reconstruction; catch basin construction; streetscape improvements for raised landscaped medians and modifications to existing medians; two entry monument signs; and traffic signal modifications at nine locations along the Garfield Avenue corridor.
