KEY BENEFITS OF THE MARK THOMAS TEAM
In-House Planning and Design Expertise
Mark Thomas has the unique in-house combination of transportation planning and design services. Our transportation planning and design disciplines are supported by numerous other disciplines in-house, so while subconsultant partners are a value-add to our team structure, we have the unique capability of performing most tasks without the need to outsource. This experience allows us to develop mobility solutions that are feasible, implementable, and have realistic budgets.
On-Call Experience
Our team of accomplished staff have delivered numerous task orders with a wide range of scopes of work with varied schedules. Whether working on behalf of municipal clients or public agencies, Pat is experienced at advancing multiple efforts concurrently.
Tailored Approach
We tailor our approach to the needs of each task order, attending to the particular challenges, constraints, budget and schedule. We understand how to accommodate the unique needs of each site, and our approach allows us to develop context sensitive designs that address community needs and avoid a “one size fits all” approach.
Public Agency Experience
Pat and our support team are well-practiced at serving local agencies throughout California. We have multiple former public employees on staff that bring a thorough understanding of public policies and procedures. We have bid thousands of projects throughout the State and are fully aware of these governing procedures, requirements and laws. This not only includes support of our design documents, but also in a construction management role. We are accustomed to working in various capacities for public agencies and operate as a true extension of their staff.

Below are examples of our areas of expertise.
Roadway Improvements
Mark Thomas is recognized as an industry leader in the planning, design, and delivery of roadway and highway improvement projects. Our experience spans from localized widening projects, gap closures, rehabilitation and intersection improvements, to grade separations and arterial reconstructions, as well as Caltrans highway widening and interchanges. We have the expertise to deliver both small localized projects as well as complex highway improvements. We are knowledgeable of local agency design standards, the Standard Plans and Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM), and the AASHTO.
We offer a solid group of experienced professionals in all phases of project delivery, including planning documents, preliminary engineering, and final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E).
Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning
Our team includes recognized experts who have delivered traffic engineering and transportation planning projects for clients throughout Southern California.

ADA Compliance and Design
Mark Thomas excels at integrating ADA compliant practices into all types of roadway, parks, parking lots, and other facilities. We have assisted many local municipalities and even Caltrans in analyzing and achieving ADA compliance.
This includes all aspects of design including curb ramps, slopes, and path of travel. Providing detailed elevations and slopes for all grade breaks and critical points is key to eliminating any misinterpretations of the standard plan by the contractor during construction and allowing enough room to accommodate traditional construction tolerances. Our experience will be invaluable in assessing and prioritizing ADA requirements in any task order, a critical element for any project.
Drainage/Stormwater
We are experienced in the analysis and design of stormwater and drainage facilities. Our task leads have successfully completed numerous projects involving the preparation of hydraulic and hydrology analysis and reports for creeks and pipelines, bridge scour analysis, erosion control plans, and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) implementation plans, including drainage/ Low Impact Development (LID) improvements. We are capable of designing a wide variety of drainage facilities that include storm drain inlets, storm drain lines, drainage ditches, flood channel grading and modifications, flood control structures, and complex filter systems.
Bridge/Structure Design
Mark Thomas has extensive experience delivering structural design for transportation, flood control, and bridge projects. This includes the design of new bridges, bridge replacements and rehabilitations, retaining walls, soundwalls, flood walls, water/wastewater structures, and other structures.
Our retaining wall design experience encompasses standard cantilever retaining walls through more complex systems like MSE walls and tieback walls. We are knowledgeable of the Caltrans Bridge Design Manual and Standards, as well as AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design Standards.
Survey/Right of Way
Mark Thomas provides a full range of surveying services that include right of way retracement surveys, legal descriptions, plats and deeds, and we provide support with lot line adjustments or boundary line adjustments. We also have extensive experience providing surveying services to suit all phases of projects from project planning topographic base information for construction documents, up to and including layout and support for construction activities.

We have also provided operation and headquarter facility planning and design to support the systems. Our capabilities also include the review of third-party designs and documentation for implementation of transit systems.

MARK THOMAS
STRENGTH AND STABILITY
Mark Thomas has been providing services for over 97 years and as noted has been growing steadily and is financially sound. With the resources and proven ability to deliver projects on schedule, we are in the right position to successfully deliver for the City over the life of this contract.
STAFFING CAPABILITY AND AVAILABILITY
Mark Thomas has more than 380 team members with a depth of disciplines needed to support the City. This demonstrates that we have the resources and availability to successfully deliver a wide range of task orders separately or concurrently whether they require a multi-disciplinary team or a single subject matter expert. Our team includes redundancies to make sure we can deliver the disciplines needed and teams that can meet any project’s demands.
CURRENT WORKLOAD
We have evaluated workloads of staff presented herein and they are available to perform their designated roles. We have more than 90 professional staff between our three Southern California offices and we can also draw from a pool of more than 380 staff company wide, who are available to serve as supplemental resources to successfully complete multiple, concurrent task orders. Mark Thomas utilizes weekly and monthly coordination meetings wherein resource planning and workload are reviewed. This planning ensures that there are sufficient resources available to meet the schedule and quality commitments for any task order issued.
PROACTIVE SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
Mark Thomas has a proven ability of delivering projects on-schedule, particularly under tight funding deadlines. The foundation for this is our project managers who take a proactive approach for planning project activities, looking ahead and drilling down to track tasks critical to achieving each milestone. Identifying the risks to the project schedule and mitigating them by advancing early activities where possible without the risk changes later in design. Our strategy for keeping projects on schedule is simple, track the action items, communicate key milestones often and over communicate.
We will develop comprehensive design schedules, to identify all critical tasks and interrelationships of each project, and effectively use it to track critical path items. A Critical Path Method (CPM) project schedule with a prioritized task list will be developed to monitor the progress of critical and concurrent tasks. Schedule accuracy and communication is particularly important for the City, especially the timing for review cycles. The schedules will need to be comprehensive showing not only Mark Thomas effort, but other related work that can affect project delivery.
Mark Thomas has had success completing projects on or ahead of schedule.
For the San Fernando Road project, our pro-active efforts in developing concepts and exhibits, meeting and communicating with City staff on a weekly basis, and public outreach campaign, gave our team the ability to screen concepts in a highly active business and residential community.
This allowed the project to be fast-tracked to meet the aggressive Clean California Grant program schedule.

TASK ORDER APPROACH
Our approach to on-call contracts is grounded in our understanding that successful projects, including at the task order level, are a direct result of the following elements:
• A commitment of our qualified engineering, design, support staff, and additional resources via teaming partners as is necessary to deliver every task order on time and within budget
• Acting as an extension of City staff, including always looking out for the City’s best interest • Being responsive and collaborative in order to meet the needs of the City and the community
• Monitoring design activities and delivery schedules through a committed Quality Assurance/Quality Control process
• Providing direction on the most beneficial and cost-effective task order solutions Mark Thomas has developed the following general approach to a street and/or active transportation PS&E task order. Ultimately, each task order is completed with a tailored approach according to project type and the City’s specific needs, budget, and schedule.
For projects with State and/or Federal funding, Mark Thomas will assist the City in the administration and processing of the necessary documents with Caltrans Local Assistance, including right of way certifications and RFAs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & ADMINISTRATION
Mark Thomas will gather readily accessible information on the project and will conduct a detailed project site visit during our scope development process where applicable. This will confirm our project understanding and help us answer key technical questions, even before task order notice to proceed (NTP) is received.
We understand that our job is to drive the project schedule, evaluate and monitor budgets, perform quality control,
conduct project meetings including agendas, exhibits and meeting minutes.
Throughout the life of the project, Mark Thomas will support the city in their community outreach efforts. Our team is proficient in making presentations to City Council, City Commissions and in public forums to the community. We have staff that develop high quality exhibits and project renderings to assist in effectively conveying the proposed project to the public.

BASELINE REVIEW AND PROJECT DEFINITION
Our team will conduct a detailed walk audit of the project site, identifying existing conditions and deficiencies related to pavement condition, curb, gutter and sidewalk conditions, ADA compliance and other elements that may affect the
proposed project. These details will be documented in a field review form and a photo log developed.
Survey and mapping will be conducted to provide a project basemap. When ADA ramp upgrades are included, field
survey will fully detail the curb returns, including all corners of existing pullboxes and utilities to ensure ADA compliant ramps can be properly designed, including proper grades and landings, pedestrian push button placement and non-walkable surfaces as needed.
Other site-specific information will be obtained, including as-builts and facility maps from pertinent agencies and utility owners (utility “A” letter request). Utility mapping will be performed based upon the information received.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CLEARANCE
Early pre-concept design identification of constraints provides us with flexibility, allowing for more time to mitigate risks and incorporate cost-effective solutions in the project. Mark Thomas will include preliminary design tasks in the scope of work for the project. We will analyze alternatives to determine their relative impacts and prepare preliminary construction cost estimates to assist the City in evaluating each alternative.
For each alternative, if needed, we will address the required CEQA and NEPA (if necessary due to funding) environmental clearance and documentation for the project.

City of Pico Rivera
MARK THOMAS
As part of the Mark Thomas team, GPA, a DBE firm, will be providing environmental services for this on-call service. We will assist the City with project environmental documents and associated technical study needs. For CEQA this would include a compliant Categorical Exemption, Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), or an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). If the project has federal funding, then NEPA compliance is required through a Categorical Exclusion, Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/FONSI), or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Mark Thomas and GPA are also proficient in obtaining the necessary regulatory agency permits for a project, which may include the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). With the alternative set, additional studies will be performed including geotechnical, stormwater water quality management plan (WQMP)/low impact development (LID), and potholing (if necessary).
FINAL DESIGN
Typically, when a project reaches the final design phase, all conceptual/preliminary design tasks have already been completed and environmental clearance obtained. During the final PS&E phase, our team will prepare the project plans in Autocad Civil 3D, specifications will be prepared based on the Greenbook and City special provisions. A construction cost estimate will be produced for the City, identifying all bid items along with quantity backup.
Utility coordination will be ongoing through the final design phase with “B” and “C” Letters sent out with any utility impacts identified and cost liability determined, to ensure no delays in construction.
Additionally, if a project requires the acquisition of any necessary right of way and or easement, our team can produce legal descriptions, appraisal maps, and right of way maps necessary for any fee takes or temporary construction easements. All permits will be obtained during this phase, including encroachment permits for adjacent agencies such as bordering cities, Caltrans or Los Angeles Flood Control District, as well as regulatory permits from resource agencies.
BID & CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Mark Thomas will assist the City through the bid and construction phases of the project. During the bid phase, we will respond to inquiries, assist in addenda preparation if required, and review the bid results.
During construction we will support the City construction management and inspection crews, including attendance at the pre-construction meeting, performing field reviews, respond to requests for information (RFI), review shop drawings and submittals and prepare as-built record drawings.

GRANT FUNDING SUPPORT
Mark Thomas fully understands the process of securing state and federal funding for projects, and have done so successfully on behalf of our clients, as well as administering the funding once received, as is discussed below.
ADMINISTERING STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING
Mark Thomas has extensive experience managing and designing state and federally funded projects for local agencies. We fully understand the administrative challenges that come along with this funding. We have an unmatched understanding of the Caltrans Local Assistance process gained through delivering more than 100 projects that required this coordination. We are intimately familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) and Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG) requirements and processes. These guidelines require compliance with federal and/or state laws, regulations, policies and procedures related to all project phases.
We are also knowledgeable of the federal and/or state laws, regulations, policies and procedures related to design, right of way certification, utility coordination, construction and maintenance.
Federal funding requires a separate E-76 process for each phase of work in order to receive Mark Thomas has been excellent to work with. They performed exceptionally well in delivering the complex Jeffrey Road/Irvine Center Drive widening project. Pat and his team were responsive, proactive and drove the coordination with the numerous thirdparty stakeholders. They were always prepared with solutions and recommendations which made addressing the project challenges much easier for the City. The firm consistently met or exceeded my expectations to protect the interests of the City. -Uyenly Bui, Project Manager

reimbursement. This involves preparing RFAs and supporting information for the various project phases, including preparation of Right-of-Way and Utility Certification Forms.
We have extensive experience with State-only funding requirements as well. We have recently prepared Senate Bill 1 (SB-1) forms and reports for the City of Corona McKinley Street Grade Separation Project that is funded with Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) and Proposition 1B Highway- Railway Crossing Safety Account (HRCSA) funds. Our recent experience also includes projects funded through the Active Transportation Program (ATP) and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), as administered on the Long Beach Boulevard Complete Street project in South Gate, which is currently in construction.
SECURING OUTSIDE FUNDING TO DELIVER YOUR CIP
A value added service we provide for our clients is our ability to find and secure funding. Mark Thomas has an
internal funding team that has an in-depth understanding of funding programs and state and federal policies and
proven success securing competitive grant funds. We
also have extensive planning and design experience
for complex transportation projects. We have delivered
numerous projects requiring grant writing, grant

MANAGEMENT APPROACH
For the delivery of an on-call services contract on a task order basis, it is important to have an experienced project manager and a well-thought-out Project Management Plan (PMP).
One of the first items of work is to prepare a PMP that sets the expectations and serves as a guidebook as task orders are developed and executed.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The preparation of a PMP is crucial. PMPs are prepared shortly after NTP and serve as a guide for project implementation and management. The PMP provides a baseline of project objectives to achieve, how it is to be achieved, who will be involved, how it will be reported and measured, and how information will be communicated. With an on-call contract, we create an overarching PMP that includes items such as the contract contact list, communication protocols, budget tracking and invoicing procedures.
The PMP will be amended for each specific task order and will include the following:
While the PMP serves as a guide, it is active and engaged project management that keeps our projects on schedule and under budget. Following are the keys to our successful delivery.
CONTINUAL BUDGET CONTROL
We use Deltek for all our accounting functions. Deltek has modules “Project Review” that allow project managers to enter budgets for Mark Thomas and the subcontractors and track spending in real-time. We use these modules to track earned value on our project and will be done for each task order.
Our Work Breakdown Structure forms the base for our budget. As shown in the chart, we plan our work using a resource loaded schedule, monitor the project progress, and track the planned budget vs. actuals, and we report this to the City on a monthly basis. We review and report any variations along with a corrective action plan.
ON-CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES
City of Pico Rivera
MARK THOMAS
PROACTIVE SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
Our project managers are taught to take a proactive approach for planning project activities, looking ahead and drilling down to track tasks critical to achieving each milestone. Identifying the risks to the project schedule and mitigating them by advancing early activities where possible without the risk changes later in design. Our strategy for keeping projects on schedule is simple, track the action items, communicate key milestones often and overcommunicate.
DELIVERING QUALITY PRODUCTS, EVERY TIME
Mark Thomas is committed to delivering quality products that meet the City’s expectations. For each project, we develop a project-specific Quality Management Plan (QMP) that will guide the quality review process. We leverage our firmwide Quality Management System (QMS) that provide
the tools necessary to ensure quality deliverables.
The PMPs/QMPs stipulate the deliverables and schedules
for the various levels of quality control reviews to be conducted throughout the project. Our project managers
perform on-going reviews as the project develops and
Quality Control Reviews/Accuracy Checks are conducted
for every completed work product. The steps in our
process are shown in the figure below.
Before delivering to the client, fresh eyes are provided by Independent Technical Reviews which are conducted by those who are knowledgeable but not involved in the day-to-day project development. Interdisciplinary reviews are conducted on projects that bring together multiple disciplines to proof their integration.
Internal audits are conducted to verify overall conformance with approved policies and procedures, prior to the submittal being released.
The Mark Thomas quality process extends to the entire team, including subconsultants, ensuring quality products team-wide.
To ensure delivery of
high-quality products, Pat
Somerville will actively
participate in the quality
control procedures.
This includes personally
reviewing our response
to comments to check
that everything has been
properly addressed prior
to the next submittal.
