IV. Proposed Approach
Understanding
The City of Pico Rivera is seeking qualified
Engineering firms to provide On-Call Traffic
Engineering Services. The awarded consultant shall
be knowledgeable in traffic signal timing, capacity
analysis, traffic operations, channelization and
signing design, traffic studies relating to private
development and corridor enhancements, traffic
calming techniques, grant funding, traffic operations
and street lighting, safety studies and reports,
investigating complaints and claims, the WATCH
Manual for construction traffic control, and dealing
with the public.
JMD has extensive experience providing similar
traffic engineering 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:
x Research and Data Collection
x Secure Permits Required for Access to the
Project
x Utility Identification and Coordination
x Identification of Right-of-Way Requirements
x 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:
x Utility location
x Utility relocation
x 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)
x Construction staging
x Construction traffic control
x Permits and approvals
Typically, City transportation improvement projects
are in urban settings and may involve multi-agency
approvals. This requires planning, communication
Exhibit A - Page 017 of 43
Page | 14
On-Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
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
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.
Exhibit A - Page 018 of 43

On-Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
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:
x Research and Data Collection
x Utility Identification and Coordination
x 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:
x Utility location/relocation
x Compliance with current standards
x 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.
Scope of Work

Management Plan
Our Management Plan, applicable to on-site and
off-site tasks, consists of three primary components,
namely, People Management, Project
Management, and Quality Management. The first
focuses on leading the team to achieve the desired
project objectives. The latter two consist of using
appropriate project controls to effectively manage
the project deliverables, schedule and budget. A
typical project would be managed in accordance
with each component to meet the City’s objectives
in a timely manner. Each one of these components
is briefly discussed below.
People Management
People management consists of team leadership
through effective planning, staffing, and
communication as discussed below.
Exhibit A - Page 020 of 43

On-Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
Planning
After our kickoff meeting with the City, we will hold
an internal team meeting to discuss the project’s
objectives, milestones, staffing needs, schedule,
and task responsibilities. Our goal will be to
establish a realistic plan to meet all project
requirements.
Staffing
The JMD Team is committed to delivering quality
and timely services within the City’s time and budget
goals. We have added multiple groups of
professionals to work as squads and manage
multiple projects conveniently. In addition, we have
provided sufficient resource capacity to perform the
projects or tasks in a timely manner, and confirm
that the key personnel proposed for the project will
be available for the duration of the project.
Currently, our work level is estimated at
approximately 60 percent of capacity and declines
to 45 percent over the anticipated life of this project.
Mr. Itagaki, our proposed Project Manager,
is available over 0 percent of his time during the
next 12 months. Our key team members are
available as follows:
Key Team Member Availability
(%)
Steven Itagaki, PE, TE, PTOE 60%
Juan M. Diaz, MBA, PE 60%
Algis Marciuska, MBA, PE 50%
Ivan Salvatierra, PE, TE 50%
Frank Sanchez, MBA, PE 80%
Gilberto Figueroa, PE 60%
Deepak Solanki 50%
Chris Loera (C Below) 45%
Kevin Deal (NDS) 50%
*Beginning May 2024
During our internal team meeting, we will prepare a
team staffing plan to ensure the right people are
available at the right time for each project or task.
Communication
The Project Manager will work closely with each
task leader to develop the proposed submittals in
accordance with the project requirements. Through
the use of telephone conferencing, faxes, and emails, the project team, including our subconsultant(s), will discuss project issues,
progress and reviews on a periodic basis to meet
each project milestone. The ultimate objective is to
lead the team to the desired objectives through
effective and timely communication.
Our Project Manager’s experience with the City and
staff augmentation programs confirms that the best
way to minimize delays and address unforeseen
problems is to proactively communicate with the
City’s Project Manager (PM) to alert him or her of
potential issues. In addition, often the City PM is so
involved on other projects that he or she may not
effectively communicate changes in the District’s
position or direction regarding a project. These
situations can be avoided with proper
communication and documentation through
meetings, email and telephone conversation
minutes.
Project Management
For the project development work, we propose to
use a Project Management and Control System that
we have used successfully on similar multidisciplined transportation infrastructure design projects. The monitoring and controlling of
schedules and budgets will provide a means to
ensure that the proposed work plan is implemented
effectively in an efficient and timely manner.
The core of JMD’s system is a monthly Project
Management Report comprised of two sections:
Design Status Report - Arranged by task, this
report discusses budget and schedule; design
problems which need to be resolved; coordination
required between the project team, the client staff
and other agencies; and actual versus planned
progress.
Project Control Report - This is a computerized
report which tracks budget and schedule and is
refined and customized to meet the specific project
needs. This report is issued monthly, but can easily
be produced more often, if required, for more
frequent project control.
Exhibit A - Page 021 of 43
Page | 18
On-Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
It is critical that the project management system be
flexible and able to accommodate scheduling
adjustments that may occur. JMD's system requires
the Project Manager to re-plan the project, as
necessary, to reflect an accurate and up-to-date
schedule. In the event of a schedule shift, a
recovery plan will be developed and implemented to
either meet the original milestone dates or other
dates mutually agreed to by the City and JMD. The
schedule will provide a tool with which the Project
Manager can closely monitor the scheduled timing
of each task and permit overall management control
of the project.
Project Scope, Schedule and Cost Control
The monitoring and
controlling of project scope,
schedule and cost will
provide a means to ensure
that the proposed work plan
is implemented in an efficient
and timely manner.
Initially, the scope of work will be carefully
negotiated with the City to ensure that we
understand your intent and expectations for the
project. The negotiated scope will be translated into
a written format with identified budgets, milestones
and deliverables. Anticipated exclusions and items
to be provided by the City, Caltrans and other public
agencies will be defined, reviewed and discussed.
A detailed project schedule will be developed that
outlines the significant project milestones and their
estimated completion date based on our experience
with similar projects with local agency oversight and
approval. Control of scope, schedule and cost will
be achieved using the following Project
Management Control System that JMD managers
are using successfully on similar projects. The core
of this system is a monthly Project Management
Information System comprised of the following three
elements:
Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule
JMD has in-house staff with expertise in Microsoft
Project Planner. A comprehensive project schedule
will be initiated by our Project Manager and will
serve as the controlling document for tracking
progress of the work. This schedule will form the
framework for measuring our actual performance to
planned performance and can be used for periodic
updating of the City's work plan and financial
planning. The project team will meet prior to
beginning work on the project to collectively
determine the smaller work tasks required to
complete the major work activities as established in
the scope of work. A sequencing plan of these
smaller work tasks, using precedence format, will be
developed which, in turn, will determine the overall
schedule. The series of work tasks and resulting
schedule will be diagrammatically exhibited as a
Critical Path Method (CPM) flow chart. This flow
chart, which high- lights the critical path, will be used to determine the intermediate project milestones.
Project Control Report
Prior to beginning the project, the Project Manager
will prepare the Project Control Document which
defines major tasks, subtasks, milestone submittals
and task budgets. This information is entered into
our centralized accounting system that will provide
the Project Manager with a weekly report of project
budget status based on weekly time cards and
direct expense information. The Project Manager
will estimate project completion weekly and
compare his estimate with the actual project
expenditures to date. This comparison gives him a
"snapshot" project cost evaluation on a weekly
basis. The Project Manager, with assistance from
the Project Engineers and subconsultants, will
prepare a monthly cost-to-complete estimate that is
a valuable tool in keeping the project on budget and
validating the Project Manager's estimate of project
progress.
Project Status Report
Arranged by task, this bi-weekly internal report
discusses budget and schedule; project issues
which need to be resolved; coordination required
between the project team, City staff and other
agencies; and actual versus planned progress.
Quality Management
Quality Control/Quality Assurance is a process that
begins with the preparation of the proposal and
Exhibit A - Page 022 of 43
Page | 19
On-Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of Pico Rivera, California
signing of the contract. Understanding the City's
requirements and expectations is the first step in
providing a quality project. JMD will follow the City’s QA/QC procedures but, if necessary, may also rely
on its own QA/QC procedures to supplement those
by the City.
JMD has developed an office environment and
philosophy which encourage quality. Our quality
assurance program includes preparation of a
Quality Control (QC) Plan for each individual project
which specifies the responsibilities, requirements
and procedures for quality control. The plan is
modeled after the ASCE publication, "Quality in the
Constructed Product," is flexible, and can be
modified to respond to specific client requirements.
The functions of JMD’s quality assurance program
are to:
x Establish a quality review team for the project.
The quality review team is responsible for
monitoring adherence to procedures and
practices by:
o conducting surveillance of project activities
together with reviews of documentary
evidence of their performance,
o verification of calculations and other
analytical work, and
o providing independent auditing to check
that the quality control and technical
procedures are being properly
implemented and followed.
o Define the duties and responsibilities of
those personnel in the organization having
significant quality assurance
responsibilities (i.e., Principals, Project
Managers and QA/QC Managers).
o Provide value engineering on projects of
significant value and importance to avoid
unnecessary project costs.
The design process flow charts in Figure 2
on the following page illustrate our QA/QC
processes for studies and design
deliverables, respectively.

Subject: RECEIVE AND FILE – 10-DAY REPORT ON URGENCY
ORDINANCE NO. 1184 PROHIBITING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRADE SCHOOLS AND REST
HOMES IN ALL COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES
Recommendation:
1. Receive, file, and issue a 10-day report on Urgency Ordinance No. 1184 enacting a 45-day moratorium on trade schools and rest homes in all commercial and industrial zones as required under Government Code Section 65858(d).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this report.
Background:
On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1184, a moratorium prohibiting trade schools and rest homes in all commercial and industrial zones. The purpose of the moratorium is to allot City staff time to conduct research and determine how to mitigate impacts from the subject uses. Without proper study, the City may be allowing the development of new uses that have the potential for negative impacts on traffic, circulation, noise, and deterring other uses that may be better suited while having fewer negative impacts on the surrounding community. Sudden closures or citations of these types of facilities have made news in recent years and demonstrate poor management by business owners that take advantage of at-risk populations.
Despite these factors, the City continues to receive inquiries from prospective businesses interested in the specified commercial uses. Therefore, without appropriate land use and planning regulations, this moratorium is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.

PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TRADE SCHOOLS AND REST HOMES IN
ALL COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES
Discussion:
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), Urgency Ordinance No. 1184 takes effect for 45 days and will expire on August 9, 2024, unless extended by the City Council. Government Code Sections 36937 and 65858 allow the City to extend the 45- day ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days after public notice and public hearing. Following a first extension, the statute allows the City to extend the interim urgency ordinance a second time, for an additional one-year period. Prior to the extension, the City must issue a written report “… describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance.” Analysis:
The City has recently received inquiries for the subject uses in key intersections and locations that are not desirable by the community, may have unintended consequences, and prohibit other diverse range of business activities from establishing. Community and Economic Development staff have been actively pursuing quality development that is desired by the community, provide a better quality of life and would better serve the residents and have a positive economic impact.
Legitimate and well-established trade schools and related vocational schools provide a service to the community for those not traditionally college bound. Trade schools or vocational training owned by private entities often include medical assistants, hair stylists, nursing, truck driving, electricians, and plumbing curriculums. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the primary statistical agency of the US Department of Education reported that many vocational schools have closed due to poor management financial instability. These schools often rely heavily on tuition and state funding, which can be affected by declining enrollment and economic downturns.
The National Center on Education and the Economy, a policy and research organization, reported that vocational schools suffer from poor financial planning and management. This includes the improper use of funds, inability to maintain cash flow, and insufficient investment in necessary resources and infrastructure. The US Department of Education in the process of adopting rules to address poor management concerns. These regulations include financial responsibility, administrative capacity, and better certification procedures. As such, it is important that the City develop regulations to ensure trade schools are well managed and offer students a legitimate curriculum. Trade schools are defined as “… a business consisting of a place for training and instruction in a specific field, skill, trade or occupation including business colleges, vocational schools and similar facilities, which shall include, but not be limited to, businesses consisting of a place for training and instruction in a specific field, skill, trade or occupation for which employment would be conducted in an industrial setting or would use equipment normally associated with industrial businesses including, but not CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024

limited to, welding, machining, material handling and processing, metal working and heavy equipment repair.”
Rest homes also provide a needed service in the community. However, like trade schools, recent headlines have shown poor management of rest homes and the need to ensure the aging population is safe. In 2019, the Office of Inspector General reported the need to ensure the health and safety of nursing home residents. In 2020, the Government Accountability Office reported that nursing homes required improved oversight to better protect residents from abuse. The Department of Health and Human Services reported that financial management, including misallocation of funds and fraud, lead to inadequate resources for resident care, poor facilities and reduced staff compensation, further exacerbating staffing issues. The Population Reference Bureau, a non-profit research organization estimates that the number of Americans ages 65 or older are projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2025 (a 47%) increase. Rest Homes are defined as “… the use of land for a convalescent home, guest home, or any other facility for the temporary housing of and caring for ambulatory, aged, infirm or invalid persons, and in which nursing, dietary and incidental convalescent and medical care is furnished to residents thereof, and where no housing is furnished for persons suffering from contagious or communicable diseases, and where no surgery, physical therapy, maternity or other similar treatments are performed that are customarily provided in a hospital.”
The moratorium does not prohibit:
• The renewal of a business license for an existing establishment (under Section 3 as defined by of the Ordinance) provided that the renewal seeks to maintain the establishment in its current location, and the establishment is operating in the same manner without expansion or intensification of the use, and is housed within an existing building, which complies with all City, state, federal or otherwise applicable, codes, rules, regulations or laws; and • Issuance of permits for emergency and emergency-related repairs.
Once the City Council receives and files this report, this staff report shall constitute the City Council’s 10-day report as required under Government Code Section 65858(d) describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which lead to the adoption of the ordinance.
Since June 25, 2024, staff continued to work on the following:
1. Analyzing all impacts of the existing land uses including the detrimental effects of traffic, circulation, security, and noise, etc.

2. Creating a list of all the existing land use currently prohibited under the moratorium.
3. Creating a list of interested parties, stakeholders, and residents to engage in the community input process by way of community meetings and City study sessions.
4. Reviewing regulations in surrounding cities to determine adopted codes, taxes and fees implemented and the impacts on their respective communities.
5. Studying the impacts of the specified uses in commercial versus industrial zones where impacts may be minimized.
6. Reviewing the City’s General Plan to determine whether the specified land uses are consistent with the General Plan’s adopted goals and policies.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive, file, and issue this 10-day report. At the next available City Council meeting, staff will request that Urgency Ordinance No. 1184 be extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days in accordance with Government Code Section 65858.

ORDINANCE NO. 1184
i) Policy 7. 3-, Commercial Uses of the General Plan encourages the City to " identify and proactively recruit new high -quality commercial uses, specialty stores and sitdown restaurants that expand the diversity of retail and service offerings, increase generation of sales tax, and enhance visitor amenities" and without proper regulations in place may deter such land uses.

Community and Economic Development staff have been actively pursuingquality development , that is desired by Pico.

Staff has found that certain land uses, along: with:: their respective property owners, tend to. choose specific .locations but they do not take pride intheir ownership and allow their commercial uses to deteriorate.
A :lack of reinvestment in and: a deterioration of properties include substandard lighting, -:

As such, staff is recommending that the City Council: adopt the moratorium to further identify similar commercial uses: and ' to allot- the Community- and Economic - Development staff time to.

Recommendation:
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, in the amount of $1,475,000 to Griffin Structures, Inc. to provide construction management and inspection services for the Smith Park Aquatic Center Renovation Project – CIP No. 50043; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to process change orders to the contract, as needed, in an amount not-to-exceed a $147,500 contingency (approximately 10% of the total contract amount) for any additional management and inspection time due to unforeseen field conditions during construction.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Pico Rivera (City) will utilize $1,622,500 of County of Los Angeles Grant funding for construction management and inspection services of the Smith Park Aquatic Center Renovation Project (Project). Sufficient funding is available in the fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Adopted Budget, within the State of California Grant Fund Account No. 697.70.7300-54500-CIP No. 50043. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
Background:
The Smith Park Aquatic Center has been closed to the public since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and remains closed indefinitely until it can return to acceptable operational levels. Originally built in 1982, the pool has seriously deteriorated and is no longer compliant with current code standards. The Project will replace the pool, pooldeck, and all associated equipment, which also includes a new pool equipment building, as well as a full remodel of the existing recreation facility. Currently the design is approximately 65% complete and is ready for a constructability review. 12 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024 SMITH PARK AQUATIC CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT (CIP NO. 50043) –

MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES
Discussion:
As has previously been the case, the Public Works Department requires construction management and inspections services for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Due to current staffing levels, the department does not currently have available resources to administer and inspect CIPs. To provide readily available and qualified resources, staff recommend the procurement of a qualified consultant to provide on-call construction management and inspection services for the Project. Typical services provided under this procurement include construction administration, constructability reviews, estimating, inspection, material testing, and labor compliance.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction management and inspection services was posted on PlanetBids through the City’s website on February 13, 2024. On March 25, 2024, the City received proposals from 13 firms in response to the RFP. A panel of five (5) staff members from the Departments of Public Works and Parks and Recreation independently reviewed the proposals submitted by each firm and scored them based on the qualifications criteria described in the RFP.
A summary of the final ranking of each firm is presented below:

The panel then interviewed the top four (4) firms on May 7, 2024, and unanimously selected Griffin Structures as the highest ranking and most qualified firm for this Project.
Staff found their past performance on jobs of similar size and scope to be satisfactory.
Griffin Structures has successfully performed construction management services on 22 new aquatic center projects and another 25 aquatic renovation projects throughout California. Their services will include a thorough constructability review by experienced specialists in aquatics center design and construction.

One of the primary ways in which projects are
delayed relates to the replacement of substandard
work. For an aquatics facility, given the unique nature of a pool and its equipment, it will be critical that
the Construction Manager have a deep understanding
of how pools and their related appurtenances are

elements are interrelated and if done improperly

possesses the acumen to not only understand how
aquatic facilities are built, but also when they are
being built incorrectly. This in turn will play a major role in mitigating potential delays. By collaborating
with the Contractor to avoid mistakes, ensuring the
work in place is being executed in accordance with
the exact standards of an aquatic facility, coupled
with the ability to create a team-based work

Aquatic Centers typically call for unique approaches
to both project phasing and staging. This stems
from the impact large pool shells have on all
other construction elements. Many of the ancillary
improvements must be anticipated and planned
early in the process to ensure operations are well
coordinated as they relate to the pool shell.
These elements may include, trees, underground
pool plumbing, drainage, subgrade preparation,
coping layout, pool deck layout, planters, steps, and

of these crucial considerations and will include key
milestones in our instructions to bidders to ensure
the proper submittals and layout is performed at a
time which supports successful implementation to
mitigate potential impacts.

Due to the age of the park site, the plans and the
City’s ‘as built’ plans may not adequately identify,
or locate all of the existing underground utilities, or potential abandoned lines or structures that may
exist. It will be vital to place the responsibility on the Contractor as it relates to the location and mitigation of these potential unknown items. Often times,
change orders may be required when the extent of
the additionally required work is discovered. The
City may also consider having a contingency bid
item or initiating ‘potholing’ prior to construction to avoid added costs and potential delays to the overall
project schedule.
