4 Pico Rivera is completing the process of updating
the master plans, including the Water Master
Plan, Wastewater Collection Master Plan and the
Storm Drain Master Plan. The City entered into a
contract to develop these updates, as well as the
City’s Urban Water Management Plan.

The Water Master Plan includes the update
to the existing GIS system, development of a
hydraulic model, and site inspections for the
water treatment plants and pumps. The plan
also evaluated the current population projection,
water demand estimates and water supply
availability. The conclusion of the plan will
include an evaluation of the City’s Budget and
development of a CIP.

The Wastewater Collection Master Plan is similar
to the Water Master Plan, but the available data
is somewhat limited. The original master plan’s
hydraulic model is not available, nor is the GIS.

IMEG is building the GIS from information
provided from LA County, to be incorporated into
a new hydraulic model. This hydraulic model was
used in combination with the meters installed
within the system to determine what areas within
the system witnesses infl ow and infi ltration
issues.

The Storm Drain Master Plan is a new master
plan. The original evaluation of the storm
drain system was developed in the 1960’s.

IMEG is developing a new GIS system using
as-builts and available documentation, which
will then be incorporated into a hydraulic
model. This hydraulic model was, then, used to
in combination with the hydrology model to
evaluate the current capacity of the system.

The GIS database developed from these three
master plans will be used in the fi eld using Cityprovided toughbooks, allowing staff immediate access to the systems.

All three of the Master Plans involved the
development of hydraulic models. The Water
Master Plan used the City’s GIS system
to develop an InfoWater model. Both the
Wastewater Collection and the Storm Drain
Master Plans utilized InfoSWMM. The sewer
system had to be developed using strictly as-built
information, since a GIS was not available. This
eff ort resulted in having negative slopes within
the model. To resolve this, IMEG provided fi eld
survey to more accurately determine the correct
slopes.

Services included assisting the City in updating
their Emergency Response Plan with specifi c
and outlined responses for a variety of situations
to protect their staff and provide a safer and
more secure work environment. A Risk and
Resilience Assessment was completed fi nding
and addressing numerous gaps in their physical,
material, IT, and employee security.

IMEG also provided a AWIA Risk and
Resilience Assessment and ERP review to
discover and address gaps in their security
systems.

5 IMEG is providing topographic survey for
the entire park with boundary map and civil
engineering design to refurbish the overused
outdoor amenities of Rio Hondo Park. The soccer
fi elds and softball fi elds at the park are trying to
meet the demands of local residents and youth
sports groups. As a result, the fi elds are worn
out. Finally, the Park’s restrooms, built over 20
years ago, are in need of a major overhaul. The
State funding will address these issues and more,
making Rio Hondo Park a local neighborhood
gem once again.

The park renovation design will provide a larger
parking lot with upgrade accessible parking lot
and ADA park access, new synthetic turf soccer
fi eld with new bleaches, new softball fi eld with
new bleaches, new pickleball court, basketball
court, futsal court and new park lights along
the upgrade trail. New restroom building, new
and modern drinking fountains and new fence
around the play area will be provided. While
new improvements and hardscape will be
installed, IMEG is designing a surface storm
water infi ltration system to comply with local
ordinances to reduce the storm water runoff and
pollutants to the adjacent Rio Hondo Channel.

Current Staffi ng Capability and
Availability / Work Load
IMEG and our team members are available and
committed to provide engineering services for
the City of Pico Rivera. We have approximately
2,600 employees across the country, we have
the ability to “borrow” staff from other IMEG
offi ces when the need arises, both in an internal
consultant role to bring in specifi c technical
expertise, and to assist with production of the
construction documents. Our extensive use of
cloud-based storage and services enables such
collaboration to be performed seamlessly.

A crucial factor in successfully completing each
project with precision and effi ciency is your
project team. Our personnel constitute the core
of our company and are the pivotal element in
every project we undertake. Ensuring that the
team members listed will be designated to and
accessible for your project is a commitment
IMEG upholds.

Timely Schedules
At the outset of all IMEG projects, the owner’s
schedule is reviewed and critical milestone
dates are identifi ed. Using that as the overall
framework, internal schedules are developed and
interim milestones are established to assist in
keeping the design on track. Breaking the design
process into smaller increments in this manner
allows scheduling issues to be identifi ed early
so that they may be addressed. When necessary,
additional IMEG staff is assigned to temporarily
assist in the eff ort and help bring the design
process back within the schedule parameters.

As a national fi rm, we have the resources to
augment staff to accommodate schedule
fl uctuations and keep the project on track.

We will be active participants in working with
the team on each project schedule. We’ll rely on
the timely delivery of information provided by
others and we understand that others will rely
on us delivering timely information to them. As a
direct result of our experience in multiple project
types and delivery methods, we understand the
time required for each step and will be active
participants in the scheduling process so that
there are no assumptions or surprises.

Critical to our overall process is the ability to
accurately and swiftly evaluate the existing
systems materials and products we will be
working with. Our communication with our
project team partners and all stakeholders during
design and construction is also paramount to
make sure renovation projects run smoothly.

projects, provides our team and support staff
with learning experience beyond our years. We
approach each project with confi dence that
allows us to strategize optimum approaches
to project execution and design to achieve
our client’s desired goals. We take time
to work side-by-side with our client, their
representatives, expert consultants, and other
vested parties through a step-by-step process
of scope development, goal, and objective
setting. During this process, we manage, budget,
schedule and monitor all progress to stay on
track with these goals. Our team has signifi cant
talent to successfully execute both small and

needs for shifting operations and maintaining

a special example of commitment to the
community. We know that the evaluation of
the program, the selection of an appropriate
schematic concept, the development of the
design for the facilities, and the completion
of the construction process within the time
constraints, budget and expectations requires a
clear, participatory, and well-organized planning
approach.

During our 37 years
in business, WWA has
become experts in
building renovations,
reconstruction projects,
and new construction
projects for public entities. Westberg
White Architecture is a highly integrated,
technologically savvy fi rm and is currently
serving many Southern California public agencies

Engineering and Public Works topics, provide
other engineering support services, as needed.

IMEG, through our long history of providing
on-call engineering services, understands that
your City staff expects the following from your
consultants:
• Technical expertise to provide accurate and
reliable products
• Cost effi ciency
• Local staff for both timely responses and
maintenance of relationships
Our promise to you is to provide this level of
service with every task order. IMEG presents
the following tasks for consideration:

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our constant philosophy is to be a customercentric organization. In today’s environment, we believe it is essential to ensure we deliver
real value to our clients. We are able to do so by
establishing processes from years of experience.

Ensuring we have the right team members
focused on taking the right steps in an effi cient
manner saves time and money and solves
problems for our clients before they move to
the next step. IMEG sees the value in these
methodologies both internally and for our
clients and suppliers. We employ specifi c
methods to manage projects and develop
design, starting at the earliest planning and
programming phases and continuing through
the CD phase. Successfully developing a design
starts with:

Our proposed team consists
of staff from our local offi ces
to ensure local knowledge and
experience –with a deep bench of
additional resources.

IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 17 Work Approach
• Understanding the client’s needs
• Providing leadership and key personnel to
aid the client in determining solutions that
are uniquely right for them and the needs of
the project
• Identify and mitigate risk
It is essential to meet with the City to present/
discuss/expand the team’s ideas. We fully
explain each design strategy/alternative. We
like to leave this initial meeting with a narrowed
list of strategies which will then require
further analysis. The design process is taking a
collection of ideas and making it reality.

Project Management is far more than tracking
schedules, verifying budgets and maintaining
quality. While these items are indeed vital
to the success of each task order, we’ve
take project management a step further by
developing a work plan. The work plan may
be simple or complex; they are used by our
project managers to both track the task and
communicate the project’s progress to you, our
client. Communication is essential with every
project. Through it, we can adjust our team’s
approach as needed throughout the project
rather than only at design completion meetings.

Even so, it begins with our meetings during
which data will be exchanged so all of our team
members – the City staff , IMEG staff and subconsulting staff – are fully versed in the progress and have a unifi ed eff ort moving forward. These
meetings will be as follows:

MEETINGS
Kick-off : Will entail establishing the
communications protocol of the project,
individual team members, attainment of initial
data, establishment of project expectations, and
potentially, walking the project site.

Progress Meetings: These meeting would
happen through various forms. This typically
involves telephone calls, impromptu offi ce
meetings, emails or even texts. There could be
more in person meetings, however, if in person
meetings are not forseeable, the meetings can
be conducted through a web meeting software
such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. We fully
believe that face-to-face meetings provide the
best interaction and, ultimately, the best result,
but these meetings are not always possible.

IMEG is prepared to establish an on-site
meeting system suitable for the City as well as
any of your other interested parties. We insist
on making sure you are aware of the progress
within the project. These meetings will be held
regularly to discuss the progress of the task
order.

Workshops: While not every task order will
require workshops, IMEG off ers these meetings
to discuss the details of the design to date and
determine modifi cations needed in future and
fi nal submittals.

IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 18 Work Approach

1. PRELIMINARY PROJECT

RESEARCH, STUDIES AND

INVESTIGATIONS
Requirements for studies and investigations
can vary, depending upon the type of task
being performed. For example, a master plan
report demands diff erent content than does
a model evaluation. A lift station would have
diff erent requirements than a wastewater
treatment plant improvement. On top of that,
the permitting requirements would increase
the variety required. Therefore, IMEG will work
with you, through each task order and with each
permitting agency to determine the format and
content required for each.

OUR TYPICAL STUDIES AND

INVESTIGATIONS INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING:

1. Project Background

2. References and Regulations

3. Study Results
a. Existing System
b. Problem Statement

4. Alternative Discussions (Conceptual Design)

5. Alternative Opinion of Probable
Construction Costs

6. Recommendation
While the outline presented was designed to
provide you the information necessary to make
decisions, some alternative requirements could
be required. Such additional requirements often
involve describing the City’s current fi nancial
plans and capabilities and how the City will
fund such a project. IMEG will consider each
regulatory requirement and provide you with
the design report that meets these and your
needs.

2. SURVEYING
IMEG will perform enough survey which will
guarantee accuracy of the fi nal construction
plans. Surveying will typically collect the
following:
• IMEG will perform a topographic design
survey extending through the project area
to establish horizontal and vertical controls
at 25’ intervals. The survey shall extend
50’ outside of the City right-of-way within
adjacent private parcels and into cross
streets. Establish existing and proposed
controls including centerline, street
geometrics, and right-of-way throughout
project limits.
• Full street sections include obtaining fi eld
data at all control or critical points, such
as CL, BCR, ECR, and at any grade breaks
between curb and gutters, and/or edges of
pavement, and fl ow lines. Survey tying into
the adjacent properties if accessible and the
intersecting street improvement extending
50 feet shall be included.
• IMEG will perform full street width street
cross-sections on 25-foot intervals. This
section will begin at the right-of-way at the
rear of the residential wall/fencing along the
property line and extend across the existing
street conditions extending 50 feet beyond
the proposed right-of-way width.

IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 19 Work Approach
• The locations along each section will include
existing ground elevations at the following if
any; walls/fences, edge of sidewalks, top of
curbs, fl owlines, lip of gutters, centerlines/
ridgelines, pavement striping and existing
ground elevations.
• Also included are detailed locations of
driveways (width, X&Y), spandrels, handicap
ramps, walkways, curbs, stairs, parking lots
and parking stall layouts, buildings, planters
and signs, when applicable.
• Locate utilities, power poles, guy wires,
overhead lines, electrical risers, panels, and
manholes, along with fi re hydrants and
valves in the street.
• IMEG survey will coordinate closely with
the staff as they collect utility maps from
the various utility companies and agencies.

IMEG survey will continually update the
base topographical fi le to add information
as it becomes available.
• Dip and detail sewer and storm drain
manholes can catch basins.

3. PROJECT DESIGN
Based on the City’s various submittal guidelines,
this task involves the development of a
Preliminary Design (60% Submittal) and a Final
Design (90% Submittal). IMEG will develop the
plans, specifi cations, and if necessary, right-ofway maps and legal descriptions.

For the Preliminary Design, IMEG will
provide the process design as well as base
maps, survey data, site layouts and initial
infrastructure design. However, we insist on
providing preliminary structural calculations
and drawings, preliminary electrical designs,
and instrumentation and controls schematics.

This information must be provided early in the
process to allow effi ciency and eliminate as
many delays and changes as possible.

Depending upon the task order, IMEG may
request a workshop after the Preliminary Design
Report (PDR) is completed to discuss the design
progress. During such a meeting, IMEG and the
City would discuss concerns with the design,
various solutions and the best alternative for the
City. These meetings are intended to maintain a
teaming relationship so this becomes a product
of good communication and a combined
knowledge-base. During this meeting, IMEG
will develop a matrix of the comments so that
we can properly address each comment to the
best interest of the project and the City.

The success of the workshop and the project
will guide the City staff and IMEG on such
surveying needs as rights-of-way adjustments,
real estate acquisition and exhibit development.

This portion of the project could take a
signifi cant amount of time, depending upon the
cooperation of landowners and other interested
parties.

After the preliminary design workshop, IMEG
will endeavor to complete the design - to 90%
completion. We will use the matrix developed
in the workshop (or, if the project does not
warrant a workshop, we will endeavor to
meet independently and attain the needed
information to develop such a matrix) to modify
the design direction as needed and complete
the bidding documents. At the conclusion of
the 90% design, IMEG will meet with City staff ,
if necessary, to fully discuss the project, the
plans, the technical specifi cations and estimate,
and the front-end documents. Information
exchanged in this meeting will, again, be
collected and included in a matrix. This matrix
will be used to push the design to 100-percent
complete and to the satisfaction of the City.

IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 20 Work Approach
Throughout the bidding phase of the project,
IMEG will assist the City by interpreting the bid
documents and will be available to both the City
and to the potential bidders for consultation.

With each consultation, IMEG will document
the discussions held and submit those
conversations to the City for distribution to the
other potential bidders.

Our intent is to extend our service of quality by
assisting you in the selection of a respectable
contractor. At the request of the City, IMEG is
prepared to attend and assist in the bid opening
process; we will provide a background review of
the apparent low bidder and provide the City
with a recommendation. We will also assist
you in issuing a Notice-of-Award, executing the
Contract, and issuing a Notice-to-Proceed.

4. UTILITY COORDINATION
At the Notice to Proceed, iMEG will start
early identifi cation by preparing the project
Utility Files and issuing a Facility Map Request
(FMR) letter to all utility owners identifi ed as
potentially impacted by the proposed project
improvements and utilize the collected facility
maps and/or ‘as-built’ plans to develop the
preliminary Utility Plan. IMEG will prepare the
preliminary Utility Plan to and provide a Quality
Review. iMEG will issue a Utility Verifi cation
Letter (UVL) to the utility owners for the
owner’s review for correctness of the description
and depiction of the utility facilities delineated
on the Utility Plan. IMEG will coordinate with
the utility owners and the City to determine
any utility relocations or adjustments that are
needed for the successful completion of the
project and develop relocation plans. IMEG will
develop the Utility Plan Sheets and plot utility
confl icts using AUTOCAD Civil 3D.

IMEG will collect the Utility Relocation Plans
from each utility owner; once the fi nal Utility
Relocation Plans have been approved, we will
prepare the Notice to Owner (NTO) for approval
and issue the NTO to utility owners in franchise.

For any utility owners not in franchise, we
will coordinate with the aff ected utility owner
and the City to develop any necessary Utility
Agreements (UA). Once any necessary UAs have
been approved and executed, IMEG will issue
NTOs to the utility owners. If utility relocations
cannot be completed prior to construction, then
utility owners’ relocation work will need to be
coordinated with the project staging plan and
performed concurrently with construction. It is
the responsibility of the utility owner to obtain
all Local Public Agency (LPA) permits necessary
for any relocation. IMEG can assist utility
owners as necessary to obtain LPA permits.

5. CONSTRUCTION

SUPPORT
IMEG will provide shop drawing reviews as
well as develop the record drawings, review the
Contractor’s submittals, provide change order
review, respond to Requests for Information
(RFI), and provide any support eff orts to provide
IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 21 Work Approach
construction drawing clarifi cations aimed to
convey the intended design. To accomplish this,
IMEG will provide engineering reviews during
construction. This service not only provides
IMEG with a constant knowledge of the project,
it also helps the contractor with communication
and review, ultimately giving the City a quality
fi nal product.

6. QUALITY CONTROL/

QUALITY ASSURANCE
(QA/QC)
IMEG has a proactive and well-regimented
quality control process that is used for all of
our projects. Early in the project the assigned
quality control manager will outline the specifi c
quality control needs as they relate to the
timing and implementation of the design and
release of project documentation. Milestone
technical discipline reviews and inter-discipline
coordination reviews are identifi ed for the
project timeline. This information is then
included in our internal design schedule to
allow adequate time to provide reviews at the
identifi ed milestones.

Our philosophy of quality control starts in
the beginning of a project and continues
throughout the design. For each awarded
project, we would have a kick-off meeting
with identifi ed QA/QC staff to review design
standards and coordinate everyone into the
same thought process. We would then hold
weekly internal design team meetings to
identify questions, research, and ideas for design
options that may develop during the project.

Prior to the release of documents at milestones,
senior engineers not involved in the design
will review the documents. Early in the project,
these reviews are used to verify design concepts
and intent, while later in the project these
reviews are used to catch as many project
details as possible that could lead to issues in
the fi eld during construction. We will request
users review construction documents at 60%,
90%, and 100% completion to assure user
group buy-in and approval.

The method by which design is completed also
serves as a quality control mechanism in itself.

A coordinated Revit and Civil 3D model is the
proposed deliverable for awarded projects.

This allows the team to collaborate ensuring
systems are coordinated, laid out effi ciently,
and allow for access/maintenance, as well
as perform clash detection. While structural
designs will be completed in Revit, site design
typically would not utilize three-dimensional
drawing software. However, civil engineering
site plans are prepared in 3D with Civil 3D
software. Deliverables can also be converted to
AutoCAD to meet the deliverable requirements
(if necessary).

During the bidding phase, we respond to all
questions regarding construction documents.

Our purpose will be to assure that the
prospective bidders have all the information
they need in order to prepare their bids. We
will look closely at substitution requests and
advise the design and City team as to their
acceptability. This becomes extremely important
IMEG has a proactive and well-regimented
IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 22 Work Approach
when the acceptance of a substitution entails
a decrease in product quality or impacts the
overall installation.

Our internal quality assurance minimizes
the possibility of misinterpretation of the
documents by bidders and reduces the
opportunity for change orders during
construction. The culture of a design fi rm
is defi ned internally by leadership and
characterized externally by relationships. We
value these relationships and understand that
it is impossible to have an attitude of service
and quality externally without being deeply
committed to those same attitudes internally.

This mindset is supported by the review
process that provides each employee feedback
not only from supervisors, but also peers and
subordinates.

SCHEDULE ADHERENCE
We have reviewed our current workload and
can assure the City of Barstow of our availability
and our commitment to provide our time and
resources deemed necessary for the successful
completion of our services. IMEG understands
that services will vary and be based on a task
order basis at the discretion of the City. The
commitment of assigned staff for this project
will not adversely impact existing client
commitments. Our assigned staff for this project
will be committed to the project(s) through its
successful completion.

As a national fi rm of 2,600 employees (250+ in
California), we have the resources to augment
staff if and when necessary to accommodate
any schedule adjustments. We strongly commit
ourselves to all segments of the project within
the timeframe identifi ed in the RFQ.

At IMEG, we approach things a little diff erently.

As your engineer and partner, we have a unique
opportunity to solve these challenges for you.

We are there with you when the concept design
begins, we align the design intent to your
goals, we serve as your partner throughout the
construction process, and then see that the
initial goals are achieved in actual operation.

At the beginning of each project, we review
current workload. We prepare an estimate of
man-hours for each phase of the project. Hours
are based on individual tasks and by personnel
required, i.e. principals, engineers, design
technicians, CAD technicians, and specifi cation
coordinators.

Team members are chosen based on both
availability and experience with the project
scope. Schedule of estimated man-hours
is coordinated with our rolling four-month
database of assignments. We have the
manpower to commit to begin working on
projects to the City immediately upon award.

With this approach, there is no fragmentation
or hand-off , we take you through the entire
process from start to fi nish. It is our standard
practice that no team members will be replaced
for the duration of a project without prior
approval of the City. We understand that each
project presents a unique set of challenges that
IMEG | City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Services 23 Work Approach
demands the attention of the design team to
develop innovative solutions to meet the City’s
objectives.
it is our mission to provide
high quality consulting
engineering services to our
clients.

Our team is highly quali fi ed with many years
of experience in engineering, analysis, design,
review and construction projects. Every team
member fi rmly embraces a philosophy that
identifi es the client’s project needs from
concept to design and through completion of
construction.

We understand that each project presents
a unique set of challenges that demands
the attention of the design team to develop
innovative solutions to meet the project
objectives. IMEG’s large multi-disciplinary
staff of over 250+ professionals (California)
is a substantial resource pool. The size of our
staff allows us to dedicate the exact resources
required to deliver to the desired end product
within established timeframes.

IMEG is 100-percent Revit based for all MEP,
structural and technology disciplines (civil
engineering is completed in Civil 3D). We
provide dynamic, exceptionally intelligent
building information modeling (BIM) due to
the company’s robust additions to the standard
MEP content provided by Revit software. Along
with well-established structural modeling,
we provide extremely data-rich 3D models
integrating all engineering design disciplines.

Our teams work globally on the same project
at the same time. Each model element contains
dynamic information so that any change is
instantaneously updated on every drawing. This
optimizes BIM coordination and collaboration
among MEP, structural and technology design
and in medical equipment planning. Other
applications of BIM include vibration analysis, smoke
control modeling, site logistics planning, concrete lift drawings, prefabrication enabling, and modeling
long-term equipment use.

As a full-service engineering fi rm, our clients
have a higher expectation when it comes to the
coordination of our deliverables for all of the
services that we off er. We’ve worked extremely
hard to refi ne all aspects of our production
process to meet this high expectation. We own
the coordination between our disciplines and all
sub-consultants (when applicable). It is our issue
if challenges arise. We operate based on that
reality and we are proud of our track record.

Whether we provide all services on a project or
not, the project still benefi ts from the methods
we’ve put in place to refi ne our collaborative
project management and production processes.

7. CONSTRUCTIBILITY

REVIEW/VALUE

ENGINEERING
Constructibility review and value engineering
are two essential processes to improve project
outcomes, enhance effi ciency, and minimize
costs.

IMEG’s Constructibility review is a systematic
assessment of a construction project’s design
and plans to ensure they are feasible, practical,
and cost-eff ective. This process involves
a thorough examination of the project’s
blueprints, specifi cations, and other documents
to identify potential issues or ineffi ciencies.

Our reviews will take into consideration various
factors, including construction methods,
materials, scheduling, and safety. By identifying
and addressing potential problems early in the
project’s development, constructibility reviews
can help avoid costly changes and delays during
construction, resulting in a smoother and more
cost-eff ective construction process.

IMEG’s Value engineering performs a systematic
and organized approach to optimize the value
of a project while minimizing costs. It involves
analyzing the project’s components, materials,
and processes to identify opportunities for
cost reduction without compromising quality
or functionality. Our value engineering seeks
to maximize the project’s value by fi nding
innovative solutions, reducing waste, and
enhancing performance. It often involves
collaboration among diff erent stakeholders,
including designers, engineers, and contractors,
to brainstorm ideas for cost-eff ective
alternatives. By applying value engineering
principles, construction projects can achieve
cost savings, improve project performance, and
enhance the overall value proposition for the
project owner or stakeholders.

Both constructibility review and value
engineering play vital roles in enhancing the
overall success and effi ciency of construction
projects, contributing to better outcomes in
terms of cost, quality, and timeliness.

Such projects include school related studies and designs for El Rancho Unified School District and the Durfee Avenue/UPRR Grade Separation.

On-Call Professional Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
IV. Proposed Approach
Understanding
The City of Pico Rivera is seeking qualified
Engineering firms to provide On-Call Engineering
Services. Such services include planning and
design for, but are not limited to, roadway pavement
rehabilitation and/or restoration, streetscape,
landscaping and irrigation systems, utility, bridges,
safety lighting, traffic signal, hydraulic analysis,
rail/transit facilities, active transportation and
complete streets facilities, water treatment and
distribution systems, sewer systems, flood control
and storm drain facilities, parks/playgrounds/trails,
parklets general facilities (chain-link fencing/gates,
retaining walls, etc.) and other Public Works
construction projects. In addition, the City may need
consultant services for grant administration, public
outreach, preliminary engineering studies,
environmental studies, surveying, right-of-way
acquisition, mapping, legal description preparation,
staking, geotechnical, structural services,
architectural services, mechanical
(HVAC)/electrical services, and prior rights claim
expertise.

JMD has extensive experience providing similar
planning and design services to many agencies in
Southern California including the City of Pico
Rivera. We have a thorough understanding of the
City, its stakeholders and its needs.

Approach
Our approach to a typical City “On-Call” program is
to meet early with City staff and other impacted
agencies, if applicable, in order to establish scope,
schedule and process. Once we have prepared the
final scoping documents and are issued a Notice to
Proceed, we will begin the preliminary phase of the
project, which typically consists of research and
data collection, utility identification, coordination and investigation; field surveying and topographic
mapping; identification of facilities to be modified or replaced; and preparation of any required design
reports and preliminary plans for the proposed
improvements. If right-of-way or easements are
required, a preliminary right-of-way map will be
prepared showing parcels to be acquired and
conceptual modifications to existing property.

JMD will utilize existing information available from
previous studies, reports, investigations and
analyses as a basis to begin any study and/or
design work. This information will be augmented
and updated, where required. Because they are
typically on a project schedule’s critical path and
may require substantial lead time, the following
tasks will begin immediately upon receipt of Notice
to Proceed:
• Research and Data Collection
• Secure Permits Required for Access to the
Project
• Utility Identification and Coordination
• Identification of Right-of-Way Requirements
• Determine Environmental Requirements
Communication and Coordination
JMD will meet with the
City of Pico Rivera
functional unit staff
responsible for review of
a specific element of the
conceptual and preliminary plans as we are working
on them. Draft copies of this work will be submitted
for significant work items before the milestone
submittal date with follow-up meetings to solicit
input. This early coordination gives us a clear
understanding of what the functional unit reviewers
expect while giving the reviewers a preview of what
will be submitted before actual submittals are made.

Design of transportation improvements on existing
facilities in urban settings typically presents unique
issues and requires experienced design techniques.

Based on our past experience, we understand the
complexity of retrofitting existing transportation
facilities while maintaining basic services, traffic
flow and minimizing impacts to the roadway user.

Specific items related to typical transportation
improvement projects may include:
• Utility location
• Utility relocation
Page | 17
On-Call Professional Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
• Existing conditions and compliance with current
standards (knowing when to upgrade existing
facilities to current design standards and that
impact on the project schedule and costs)
• Construction staging
• Construction traffic control
• Permits and approvals
Typically, City transportation improvement projects
are in urban settings and may involve multi-agency
approvals. This requires planning, communication
and follow through to successfully secure
consensus and process approvals through
impacted agencies.

We believe that the success of any project will
depend up adequately addressing key issues (i.e.,
ADA compliance, access, circulation, utilities, traffic control and right of way) during the project
development process and preparation of the
preliminary and final plans, specifications and
estimates (PS&E) package. Once the preliminary
phase work tasks have been completed, reviewed
and approved by the City, County, Caltrans,
railroads, SGVCOG, Metro and any impacted
agencies, JMD will incorporate comments and
begin work on the final phase, which includes the
final PS&E. In addition to the Geometric Approval
Drawings (35%), we anticipate making two review
submittals (65% and 90% PS&E) and the Final
(100%) PS&E package will be submitted after all
reviews and approvals have been completed.

Work Plan
JMD’s work plan is based on providing responsive,
innovative and effective solutions following a
Service-Oriented approach designed to keep the
City informed throughout each effort.

The basic components of JMD’s work plan are
project/task definition and implementation.

Project/Task Definition
Successful delivery begins with accurate
project/task definition. JMD will meet with City staff
early to define and verify the City’s expectations for
each task or project and our proposed scope,
schedule and process.

Project/Task Implementation
Successful delivery requires a well planned and
executed implementation. Due to the variety of
possible tasks and projects that may be developed,
JMD’s technical oversight tasks will provide on-site
and off-site support tasks as needed.

On-Site Tasks
On-site tasks will consist of tasks performed at the
City with the understanding that staff will be based
at JMD’s Industry office nearby.

Off-Site Tasks
Off-site tasks will consist of tasks or projects to be
performed at JMD’s office in neighboring City of
Industry – within minutes from the City of Pico
Rivera. Such tasks, outlined in the enclosed fee
schedule, may include performing reviews, analysis
and design in support of projects identified by the
City.

Once we are issued a Notice to Proceed, we will
begin three initial tasks including: 1) collection of
existing conditions via field reviews and photo
logging; 2) letters of notification will be sent to
impacted utility owners requesting verification of
existing facilities and proposed improvements; 3)
preparation of a preliminary base map which will be
utilized to develop and validate an understanding of
the conceptual plans and for use as the base plan
sheets for plan preparation. JMD will present the
base map to the City during a brief job walk to
identify existing constraints and define or adjust the
proposed improvements. The purpose of this
jobwalk will be to make adjustments in the phasing
and to verify and finalize the specific improvements
to be designed based on the availability of project
funding.

After approval of the conceptual/preliminary plan
sheets by the City, JMD will proceed with
preparation of the final improvement plans for each
respective phase when authorized to proceed by
the City. Plans will be prepared to include title sheet, typical sections and details, roadway, grade
crossing, signing and striping, traffic signal
Page | 18
On-Call Professional Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
modifications, interconnect, street lighting and traffic control plans, as appropriate. JMD will prepare and
submit a bid item list and opinion of probable
construction cost for City approval.

All plans will be provided in CAD format.

Specifications, bid items and construction cost
estimates will be prepared in MS Word/Excel
formats, as appropriate.

JMD will utilize existing information available from
previous plans, studies, reports, investigations and
analyses as a basis to begin any design work. This
information will be augmented and updated,
accordingly. Because they are typically on a project
schedule’s critical path and may require substantial
lead time, the following tasks will begin immediately
upon receipt of Notice to Proceed:
• Research and Data Collection
• Utility Identification and Coordination
• Identification of Right-of-Way Requirements
JMD will meet with City staff responsible for review
of design elements of the 35%, 65%, 95% and
100% plans as we are working on them. Draft
copies of this work will be submitted for significant
work items before the milestone submittal date with
follow-up meeting to solicit input. This early
coordination gives us a clear understanding of what
the reviewers expect while giving the reviewers a
preview of what will be submitted before the actual
submittal is made.

Design of transportation improvements on existing
facilities in typically highly urban setting presents
some unique issues and requires experienced
design techniques. Such issues may include:
• Utility location/relocation
• Compliance with current standards
• Construction staging and traffic control
JMD will promptly and adequately address key
issues during the project development process and
preparation of the preliminary and final plans,
specifications and estimate (PS&E) package.
