surrounding the artificial turf field will also need to be replaced and the project was listed on the Capital Improvement Plan.

The existing fence, installed in 2012, is now approximately 13 years old. Over time, it has experienced significant wear and tear due to the high level of field usage.

Discussion:

The project scope includes dismantling the existing fence and replacing it with new wrought iron fencing, along with installing reinforcement beams. This new fence, paired with the synthetic turf being added at Smith Park, will enhance the overall infrastructure and safeguard the investment of the new turf field.

The City of Pico Rivera (City) has adopted the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, which outlines what constitutes a “public project.” As such, this renovation may be awarded through an informal bidding process.

Staff reached out to three (3) qualified contractors to obtain informal bids for the fence replacement. The City received two (2) bids that complied with the specifications set by the City, while one (1) contractor did not fulfill the required criteria.

Contractor Amount
C&O Manufacturing $188,748
G & G Iron Works Inc. $199,210
Mission Fence Non-Responsive
C&O Manufacturing submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid for the project.

The bids received exceeded the approved budget for the Project. To address the budget shortfall, staff recommends reallocating available funds from the Smith Park Security Camera System Project, CIP No. 50092. On October 22, 2024, the City Council authorized the installation of a surveillance camera system at multiple sites that included Smith Park. As a result, CIP No. 50092 is no longer required, and its remaining funds can be repurposed to support this project. [This section is intentionally left blank]

Environmental Analysis:

The project has been reviewed for environmental compliance. Pursuant to the CEQA guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt under Section 15302 Class 1(c) for existing facilities.

Conclusion:

Staff recommend awarding a General Services Agreement to C&O Manufacturing for the installation of Smith Park Field Fencing, CIP No. 50104, in the amount of $188,800.

Additionally, authorize the City Manager or his designee to approve change orders, as needed, in an amount not-to-exceed $18,000 (approximately 10% of the total agreement amount) for contingency purposes and to execute the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney. Lastly, recommend approval of the Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the subject project and authorize the City Clerk to file the NOE with the County Recorder, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

From: City Manager
Meeting Date: April 22, 2025
Subject: PICO PARK PREFABRICATED RESTROOM PROJECT (CIP NO. 50085) – AWARD CONSTRUCTION
Recommendation:

1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Pico Park Prefabricated Restroom Project (CIP NO. 50085) (Project);

2. Award a Construction Contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $135,920 to Diamond Construction & Design for the Pico Park Prefabricated Restroom Project, CIP No. 50085; and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney;

3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee, to approve change orders, as needed, in an amount not-to-exceed $20,400 (approximately 15% of the total contract amount) for construction contingency; and

4. Approve the Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the subject project and authorize the City Clerk to file the NOE with the County Recorder, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

Fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Adopted Budget included funding for CIP No. 50085 in the amount of $750,000 under Account No. 400.70.7300-54500-CIP 50085. No additional General Fund appropriations are needed at this time.

Background:

The existing restroom facility at Pico Park, located in the northwest corner of the park, was constructed primarily of metal in the late 1970s. The facility includes a men’s restroom, a women’s restroom, a small storage area, and a janitorial closet, which houses the water heater, field light timer control switch, and access to the plumbing chase.

CONSTRUCTION

Pico Park operates under a joint-use agreement with its neighboring school, North Park Academy for the Arts, a junior high school that utilizes the park grounds daily. In addition, the park’s fields serve as a venue for numerous youth and adult sports organizations year-round. Beyond organized sports, the restroom facility also experiences frequent use by general park visitors, reflecting the park’s consistent, high level of community activity.

Discussion:

On June 13, 2023, the City Council approved a contract to Public Restroom Company for the purchase of one (1) SP-132 prefabricated restroom building, including site supervision for installation, in the amount of $353,296. The procurement was made through Sourcewell (Contract #081721-PRM), under which the Public Restroom Company is an approved vendor.

The scope of work for the Public Restroom Company does not include demolition of the existing restroom facility or the installation of new utility connections. As such, a separate contractor is being retained to complete those portions of the project.

On March 13, 2024, a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) was published in the Los Cerritos Newspaper and posted on PlanetBids via the City’s website. By the bid closing date of March 28, 2024, two (2) bids were received through PlanetBids. However, upon evaluation, both bids were found to exceed the engineer’s estimate by more than 240%.

As a result, all bids were formally rejected at the May 28, 2024, City Council meeting.

Due to the significant disparity between the budget and the submitted bids, City staff were authorized to reassess the project scope, identify potential cost-saving measures, and re-advertise the construction bid with the goal of aligning more closely with the available budget.

The revised Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 20, 2025, in the Cerritos Newspaper, posted on PlanetBids, and published on the City’s website. On March 25, 2025, a total of 10 bids were received on the PlanetBids platform. The bid summary is as follows:

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS

Fiscal Impact:

The contract amount for each firm is not-to-exceed $1,000,000 for a term of five (5) years to provide design engineering services. No Purchase Orders (PO) will be opened upon execution of these agreements. The Engineering Division will process PO’s on an asneeded basis with selected firms to provide the engineering staff augmentation services.

It is anticipated that future work may be awarded to any of the consulting firms, depending on their competitive task proposals and available personnel that they will submit on a project-by-project basis. Accounts for the PO’s will be established based on the taskorder and project-appropriated funding source(s) associated with each City capital project assigned to the consulting firm. Funding will be based on appropriations approved for each project’s budget, with funds such as Local Return funds applicable State grants, and/or budgeted General Fund.

Discussion:

The Public Works Department requires project management services in the form of staff augmentation services for various Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and other engineering-related assignments. Due to the numerous capital projects identified as part of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, staff recommends that the City have access to qualified on-call engineering staff augmentation services. Typical engineering services will include, but will not be limited to, civil engineering, construction management, project management, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, hydraulic and process engineering, electrical and controls engineering, architectural design, landscape design, traffic engineering, surveying and mapping services.

Other activities to be supported by the on-call staff augmentation services are:
• Draft, prepare, and submit grant applications
• Plan check
• Prepare council reports
• Issue Public Works permits
• Administration of Public Works contracts
• Provide customer service at the Public Works counter when necessary A Request for Proposals (RFP) for On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services was released on February 18, 2025, and posted on the City of Pico Rivera’s (City) Eprocurement website (PlanetBids). On March 5, 2025, the City received proposals from 14 firms in response to the RFP.

A panel of three (3) staff members independently reviewed the proposals submitted by each firm and scored them based on the qualifications criteria prescribed in the RFP, including responsiveness, capabilities, experience, knowledge, expertise of the firm, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2025

ON-CALL ENGINEERING STAFF AUGMENTATION SERVICES - AWARD OF

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS

qualifications, educational background, track record of proposed team members working together on relevant projects/services, and quality of past performance for the City or similar agencies.

The recommended firms are Cordoba, DCCM, NV5, Pacifica, RRM and Z&K. The City reserves the right to assign projects to one or more of the consultants at its sole discretion based on project requirements, the requirements of the funding source for the project, as well as the availability and ability of each consultant. Selection of a firm does not necessarily guarantee the award of work of any specific contract value.

Having a large pool of consultants will offer the City a wide range of expertise, allow for availability of resources and maintain competitive pricing when selecting firms for specific projects and/or task orders.

A summary of the final ranking of each firm is presented below:

Ranking Consulting Firm Ranking Consulting Firm
1 DCCM 2 NV5
3 RRM 4 Z&K
5 Cordoba 6 Pacifica
7 Fountainhead 8 HR Green
9 ABS 10 Ladayu
11 Project Partners 12 FEI
13 Lancesoft 14 Sito
Conclusion:

Staff recommend selection of the following six (6) firms to provide on-call engineering staff augmentation services: 1) DCCM; 2) NV5; 3) RRM; 4) Z&K; 5) Cordoba; and 6) Pacifica
The Professional Service Agreements are for a term of five (5) years for an amount of up to $1,000,000 each. The selected qualified firms will be available to provide services on an as-needed basis for on-call engineering staff augmentation services in the delivery of a variety of projects. Lastly, authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements in a form approved by the City Attorney.

IN-HOUSE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

PHILOSOPHY
In general, a good Project Management
Philosophy should reduce or eliminate any
Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 11 E. Work Approach
confusion about how people are expected
to contribute to project tasks. It should also
help the job get done faster.

Our Project Manager (PM) will be
responsible for day-to-day management of
the project and is competent in managing
these aspects of a project:

SCOPE MANAGEMENT, SCHEDULE,

FINANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT,

RESOURCES, AND QUALITY CONTROL
The Project Manager’s key to getting things
done is staying organized. Every project
has its own unique set of challenges.

That’s why creating an effective Project
Management Philosophy can be extremely
helpful in managing all the different tasks of
the project.

These tasks include, but are not limited to:
• Defining the project objectives
• Establishing a plan for execution
• Managing resources and maintaining
budget control
• Managing risks
• Motivating and consistently
communicating with the project team
• Coordinating work done by different
people
• Making sure the work is done to the right
standard
• Dealing with changes to the project as
necessary
• Maintaining positive attitude
• Monitoring progress, changes, and
issues
• Reaching project milestones
The PM will make sure that they are
always available for their team members
for questions, advice, support, etc. Having
project status meetings is also very
important. These are necessary to discuss
project progress, project problems, etc. The
PM will always be available for his team
members during these meetings as well.

Making sure that everyone understands
the project goals and how they plan to
achieve them is a key component of
developing DCCM’s project management
philosophy. This communication not only
helps him get all necessary tasks done
on time but also allows him to collect
feedback from his team members.

Even with a project plan that is both
detailed and thorough, there can still be
unexpected changes or problems. Once
an issue arises, the PM will re-evaluate
his original project plan to successfully
overcome the problem.

IN-HOUSE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

APPROACH
DCCM follows a comprehensive
methodology consisting of dozens of timetested and proven strategies for ensuring contractors working on public works capital
projects for municipal agencies stay on
schedule and under budget. The following
tasks will be performed as part of the overall
approach to providing oversight of the prime
contractor to anticipate issues that may lead
to unintended CCO’s and/or project delays.

Once selected, and if requested by
the City, our staff will join the City’s
Project team ready to review plans and
specifications and to perform detailed
constructability reviews of all assigned
projects and to provide constructive
suggestions to improve the Projects plans
and protect the City’s interests in the
process. Once project bid packages are
approved for advertising, we will support
the City in bids solicitations, conducting
pre-bid meetings, opening and evaluating
bids and providing recommendation of
award. We will assign the staff with the
needed expertise on each of the projects
subject to delegation of authority from
the City. Once assigned, no key staff
member will be moved or changed from
any project without the prior authorization
or request from the City. Prior to the start
Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 12 E. Work Approach
of construction of any of the projects,
we will review submittals, SWPPP and
projects schedules and will coordinate
with contractor the proper inspection of
all field activities. Written, photo and video
documentation of work progress will take
place on a daily basis to ensure quality
products are delivered to the City, its
residents and the motoring public.

COST ESTIMATING
We understand the importance of accurate
cost estimating for the planning and
budgeting purposes of any agency. All our
proposed construction managers have
decades of experience in the management
and delivery of Capital improvement and
municipal projects. They have performed
countless quantity take offs and cost
estimating of project plans and have
collectively negotiated hundreds of contract
change orders for the benefit of many
agencies. Due to their current involvement
in active construction projects, our proposed
project managers have up to date and
extensive information of construction costs
and simply “how much things cost in the
real world”. Our staff are ready and available
to support the City in any type of project
and estimating project costs in any field of
construction.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SCHEDULING

AND MANAGEMENT
The DCCM team will review and approve
the Contractor’s CPM schedule. DCCM
utilizes Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project
software to review, monitor, and analyze
the Contractor’s schedule. Monthly
schedule updates will be reviewed against
the project’s baseline schedule and
progress will be verified and any potential
issues causing delay to the project will be
identified and mitigated.

Along with safety and quality, helping
the City to complete the project on
time and within budget is DCCM’s
highest priority. On any assigned project,
the DCCM team will prepare a Master
Project Schedule for review with the City
and provide recommendations with our
constructability review report. The schedule
and recommendations will address the
following:
• Examine the critical path and schedule
float;
• Planned working days;
• Utility coordination issues and impacts
are addressed;
• Sufficient time for review by other
agencies; and
• Identify possible schedule adjustments
and contingencies.

CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW
DCCM’s engineers will apply an
experienced and knowledgeable eye to
the everything the City can provide in the
form of project plans, special provisions,
bid items, unit costs, site DTM, survey
data, cross sections, environmental
permits from any and all regulatory
agencies, DGN files of the existing and
proposed layout sheets, and more. Once
these items are provided, DCCM will do
a comprehensive site analysis, making
sure, among others, that all of the existing
utilities are properly shown on the plans,
and do a “gut check” high-level review
to make sure nothing major is out of line.

A rigorous and detailed constructability
review can reduce conflicts in the field,
provide a more accurate schedule, improve
construction sequencing, enhance quality,
develop workable specifications, help
provide a more biddable project for the
contractor, and potentially decrease costs
and claims. Extra emphasis will be focused
on items that can slow a project down
and/or lead to costly change orders. DCCM
will spend extra time evaluating anything
underground, specifically existing drainage
and existing utilities.

Once the evaluations are concluded, DCCM
will compile the data and prepare
a report detailing the findings with
recommendations. These are expected to
Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 13 E. Work Approach
be evaluated by the City and if chosen to
be incorporated into the PS&E, the City will
have time to revise the contract documents
prior to advertising the project for bid. The
constructability review will closely evaluate
the following:
• Errors, omissions, inconsistencies, and
deficiencies;
• Special Provisions are prepared to
industry standards and are complete;
• Check plans for conflicts with other
underground facilities and utilities;
• Provide an on-site review looking for
access restrictions or other impediments;
• Review all permits and verify that the
contract clearly reflects the permit
obligations;
• Explore options to mitigate impacts
to traffic and area residents and
businesses;
• Construction Staging; and
• Propose additional Special Provisions to
supplement the Contract Documents to
help avoid claims.

VALUE ENGINEERING
Our experienced team of project managers
and engineers have collectively built
hundreds of projects and they simply know
what works and what does not from real
life experience. As projects are assigned to
our team by the City, we will review each
project independently with the objective
to identify whether the project is designed
with the most practical and cost-effective
methods and whether the final product
will meet the expected need and purpose.

They will apply their individual decades of
experience to the suitability and useful life
of any proposed project and will endeavor to
improve upon the design and applicability of
the final product.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY

CONTROL
DCCM has a proven track record for
the successful delivery and managing
of a wide variety of projects throughout
Southern California. As professional project
managers, we understand the challenges
associated with project delivery, and will
ensure that all project deliverables have
been reviewed to ensure that quality
products are being produced. We will
make certain that projects are meeting the
schedule requirements, based on earned
value and expenditure rates projected
during the project scoping, and recommend
corrective action, when appropriate.

We will closely monitor expenditures to
minimize risk to the budget.

DCCM will utilize Project Management
Institute (PMI) methods, including
the techniques found in the Project
Management Professional (PMP) toolbox.

Our Project Managers are fully trained,
prepared and committed to delivering
superior staff and deliverables. Quality
can be demonstrated via our high number
of repeat clients in the region, including
Caltrans and various Southern California
municipalities.

DCCM has a formalized Quality Assurance/
Quality Control plan which can be provided
to the City per request. We have several
QA/QC plans in place, and each is a living
document and is project and/or function
specific (i.e. PM, CM, Design or other
services specific).

PROJECT CONTROL, METHODOLOGY AND

IMPLEMENTATION
DCCM is committed to exceeding the
City’s expectations regarding project
delivery via effective control mechanisms,
including tracking of scope, schedule and
strict budget control. The PM will utilize the
project control methodology taught in the
Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK) for effective project management
and control, which is an industry standard
and widely used in the transportation
industry particularly in the public works
sector. PM is also able to quickly adapt to
any internal program/project management
system that the City may have.

Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 14 E. Work Approach

TOOLS AND PROCESSES
Our Team is well versed in construction
and project management tools and
processes, as well as experts in the
Greenbook, Caltrans LAPM, HDM, and
the Right of Way Manual. We are able to
understand and recommend solutions for
any of the issues that may affect a City’s
project’s scope, budget, and/or schedule
and efficiently implement the approved
solution.

DEMONSTRATED COMMITMENT
Our past performance on our successfully
completed projects is an indicator of our
Team’s ability to respond to the City’s
needs at a moment’s notice and to provide
continuous and stable staff support.

FLEXIBILITY
DCCM Team members have demonstrated
the ability to professionally work on
any task assigned at any time. We can
accommodate all Task Order requests
from the City, and would continue to
accommodate, the needs of the City for
any given duration of time.

BILINGUAL IN-HOUSE PUBLIC OUTREACH
DCCM’s public relations division offers
a comprehensive public outreach
department that provides the City with
a one-stop-shop for outreach services.

Our in-house professionals are
experts in community outreach and
relations, community events and
engagements, presentations, graphics,
video production, communications,
translation, and interpretation services,
as well as media relations. Vanessa
Barrientos Bilingual, with over 18 years of
experience, has developed and executed
tailored bilingual public awareness
campaigns for more than $3.9 billion
worth of high-profile projects across
Southern California.

LABOR COMPLIANCE
DCCM’s Labor Compliance Officer,
Mr. Ramon Carlos, offers over 20 years
of experience in construction labor
compliance regulation, record keeping and
submission requirements, with labor code
requirements on public works projects.

He will verify labor compliance through
review of the contractor’s certified payrolls,
including fringe benefit statements, in
accordance with prevailing wage rates set
by the California Labor Code and Federal
guidelines for reporting of federalized
projects. The labor compliance review will
also include verification of DBE utilization,
subcontractor utilization, and labor
compliance interviews with workers.

DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES
DCCM can provide additional Design
Engineering resources via the 13
other firms within the DCCM family of
companies that have 37 office locations
nationwide and over 1000 employees in
our network. DCCM’s years of success
with design engineering are demonstrated
by our ability to identify innovative, costeffective alternate design solutions. By providing a full suite of professional Design
Engineering services, our team of highly
qualified engineers strives to make mobility
safer and more economical to meet the
increased demand for efficiency and
increased capacity in our urban and rural
systems. Regardless of the project size or
specific mode of transportation, DCCM’s
professional staff has the expertise to
deliver any project successfully.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN CHECK
Development Review | DCCM
understands that “time is money” to both
the City and the development stakeholders.

We understand that expeditious and
accurate review of entitlement applications
and improvement plans is essential.

Our team will respond to all questions
regarding proposed developments in
a timely and professional manner and
work with other departments to identify
the appropriateness and requirements
for that particular development. We will
also identify any constraints and outline
the City’s requirements to guide the
Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 15 E. Work Approach
developers/applicants through the process
in the most efficient manner. This becomes
particularly critical for owner/builders. In our
experience, we have found that there is
a greater amount of attention required for
developers and/or homeowners that have
never been through the process before. In
these cases, we do our best to outline the
overall process and expected timeframes
to the individual to ensure that they are
aware of the requirements and the time it
will take to process their project. We have
found that spending the extra time with
first-time developers or homeowners helps
minimize misunderstandings and confusion
throughout the process and helps manage
expectations.

With experienced developers, our approach
is to work with both the developer and
their engineer to outline any constraints or
concerns early in the review process. We
will do our best as a member of the City’s
team to resolve any issues at the staff
level. Similar to the first-time developers,
we believe that outlining issues and
expectations early on in the process, and
thoroughly explaining why the City and
we have taken a certain approach, tends
to reduce disagreements throughout the
process. This minimizes confusion and
gives clear guidance to the applicants and
engineers working on the project. Our goal
is to be flexible and efficient in the way we
provide services to the City. If the workload
warrants providing more staff due to
increased market demands, we will provide
additional experienced plan reviewers to
meet the particular project needs.

Review Land Development Applications|
DCCM has extensive experience providing
Engineering review of land development
entitlement applications including
applications for Tentative Maps, Conditional
Use Permits, Design Permits, Lot Line
Adjustments and Lot Mergers. Related
tasks typically include:
• Review of application documents
including preliminary plans, preliminary
maps, drainage studies, stormwater
control plans, geotechnical reports,
preliminary title reports, and other related
reports and technical studies.
• Attend meetings with applicants and/or
City staff.
• Provide application completeness review
comments and respond to questions.
• Request additional studies and other
information.
• Review Engineering and Public Works
related sections of Initial Studies, EIRs
and related studies, and provide input on
Mitigation Measures.
• Draft Engineering Conditions of Approval.

Improvement Plan Reviews | DCCM
will review improvement plans for both
public and private improvements related to
approved land development applications
for conformance with the City’s Standards,
Municipal Code, Conditions of Approval,
Mitigation Measures, and general
engineering standards. Improvement plans
will be reviewed for street improvements,
calculations, minor structures, grading,
storm drain systems, sewer, water, street
lighting, traffic signals, stormwater quality,
signing, striping and landscaping. DCCM
staff will review improvement plans
for conformance with the conditions
of approval, approved tentative map
or site plan, local ordinances and state
law governing land development and
site improvements. Additionally, we will
coordinate our review with designated City
staff members from each applicable City
department and act as the initial point of
contact for all questions regarding our plan
check comments.

Map & Legal Description Review |
DCCM will review Parcel Maps and Final
Maps for approved land divisions for
conformance with the State Subdivision
Map Act, City’s Standards, Municipal
Southstar | DCCM | City of Pico Rivera, PR-RFP-048 On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services | March 5, 2025 | 16 E. Work Approach
Code, Conditions of Approval, and general
engineering standards. Related tasks may
also include review of legal descriptions
and plats for right-of-way and easement
dedications, Lot Line Adjustments and Lot
Mergers. This typically includes:
• Review of title reports, background deed
and map information.
• Review of closure calculations.
• Review of the approved tentative map to
ensure conformance.
• Comparison of the map with the
improvement plans to ensure that
all easements and rights-of-way are
properly shown on the map.
• Review of the conditions of approval to
ensure compliance.
• Review of the certificate sheet to ensure
that all appropriate certifications are
included on the map.
• Review of draft maintenance documents
to ensure all required elements are
included.
• Other information that may be applicable.

The map check process will continue
until the map is completed to the City’s
satisfaction. Once the map meets City
requirements, we will transmit our standard
approval letter indicating that the map is
technically correct, conditions have been
satisfied and recommend that the map be
approved, signed and recorded. We have
staff that are able to certify the technical
accuracy of maps, if needed.

DCCM will also review easement and right
of way descriptions and lot line adjustment
descriptions for conformance with City
requirements and the conditions of
approval. This review will include a review
of the City’s standard deed forms. When
our review is complete, as with maps,
we will transmit a letter indicating the
documents are complete and ready for City
approval and recording.

GRANT AND FUNDING

ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
Southstar | DCCM’s mission is to enhance
the quality of life for the community via
transportation opportunities that achieve
the City’s goals effectively, including the
importance of securing grant funding from
local, state, and federal sources. DCCM
has reviewed the Scope of Services listed
in the RFQ and is prepared to provide
qualified personnel, as needed, to assist in
facilitating the City’s CIP program. DCCM
understands that even though the
Proposed CIP projects listed on the
City’s website addresses primary
infrastructure needs, a significant
backlog may remain and DCCM is
prepared to provide services to address
this issue as well. DCCM can help the
City target resources toward their most
important need and seek all possible
avenues to secure federal, State, and
regional funding to supplement available
City funding.

However, navigating the complexities
of grant applications and managing the
Caltrans LAPM process can be daunting
tasks. Therefore, the DCCM team
proposes experienced grant writers to lead
the City’s effort in maximizing the chances
of obtaining funding for transportation
projects.

Based on the process that have been
laid out in the following sections, Grant
Writing Specialist, Ms. Yvette Kirrin,
PE, has secured several grants that she
administered (from writing to construction
completion) for the I-5 JPA, and a planning
grant for the GCCOG. She has also
written and secured many more for Cities
that presented the information that she
provided to them, in order to secure it
themselves. Below are a few examples
of Grants delivered because of her
efforts:

Caltrans Sustainability Grant – $500k
Title: 710 Livability Initiative (Complete
Streets) (Gateway Cities Council of
Governments).

timely/efficient/cost-effective completion of the
projects; and perform related work as required.

NV5 can provide services on a per project or task
order basis for all types of public works and other
projects. Below is our general project approach that
will be modified and tailored to meet each project’s
needs.

Project Approach
NV5 can provide Engineering Staff Augmentation
Services to help assure smooth operations within
the Public Works Department; assure that project
schedules, cost, and overall quality performance
objectives are met across a range of projects;
coordinate, manage and monitor the progress
of assigned projects and programs at all stages
of development to assure timely/efficient/costeffective completion of the projects; and perform related engineering support work as required.

COMMUNICATION
Our Contract Manager, Tamara O’Neal, will be the
point of contact for all project correspondence and
communication between the City, the contractor,
the design team and other project stakeholders.

Our team will be in constant communication with
the City, making sure the City has the most updated
information on project status, as well as any on-site
or any contractual issues.

STAYING CONNECTED
Our staff is equipped with the technology to work
efficiently and stay organized and connected
with our clients. NV5 utilizes Microsoft Teams to
efficiently collaborate; easily find, share and edit
files in real time; meet virtually; and streamline
workflows all on one single platform. NV5 has
access to several virtual meeting platforms in
addition to Microsoft Teams, including GoToMeeting
and Zoom.

GENERAL APPROACH TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT
All projects, regardless of size or complexity, will
suffer if they are not managed properly. For this
reason, we place high priority on developing a
strong project organization and overall project
management approach. Even with our broad
depth of resources and experience, we recognize
that people make projects successful. Quick and
responsive solutions, while being sensitive to
community issues, are the cornerstones of our
accomplishments and company traditions.

PROJECT DELIVERY STRATEGY
The basis of developing a project delivery strategy
is based on preparing a Project Management
Plan (PMP). The PMP is a living document that will
provide the organization and guidelines for project
work and will demonstrate that the team has the
technical capabilities to carry the project from
inception to completion. Listed below are elements
that will be included in the PMP.
•Roles and Responsibilities: This section
requires the illustration and discussion of the
project’s organizational chart, job descriptions,
reporting and functional relationships, as well
as resumes for all key positions.
•Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): The WBS
is the structure by which all work is organized
and monitored. The WBS will be utilized for
document and project controls, and to track
costs and budget.
•Risk and Contingency Management Plan
(RCMP): This plan establishes a risk register
that enables the visibility and tracking of known
risks. Additionally, the RCMP establishes the
processes through which risks are responded
to, measured, and controlled. A component of
this plan will describe the levels of contingency
for each phase, the reasoning for those levels,
City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services NV5 | 44 E: WORK APPROACH - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
and how surpluses or deficits in contingency
will be handled.
•Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Plan: This plan establishes quality procedures
for all deliverables and project management.

These procedures will be established for
each phase of the project to make sure that
all deliverables meet high quality standards,
and will also include procedures to address
deficiencies.
•Project Controls Plan (PCP): This plan will
utilize the WBS noted above to confirm that all
project work stays on schedule and within the
budget. The PCP is a comprehensive approach
to track project deliverables and the associated
budget.

TIMELY COMPLETION

AND SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
Our approach to ensuring that all phases of the
project are completed in a timely manner is to
establish and maintain an overall project schedule.

All updates and changes are documented for the
City’s review. We also include project milestones
and points of essential input by the City team. In
all cases, the City is notified in advance of each
milestone and scheduled review so that it may
prepare materials in an orderly manner.

Our ability to “drive” the project forward is our
hallmark for success. We strongly believe that by
aggressively and pro-actively managing the project
and the performance of project team members,
we will produce positive results and complete the
project in a timely manner.

MANAGING PROJECT BUDGET
Utilizing budget control and reporting tools, we
focus on accountability, documentation and record
keeping, and communicate often on key project
issues with the City.

Project Managers apply budget control systems and
carefully monitor project budgets. Project Managers
closely track work quality of all members of the
project team to ensure budgets are adhered to.

Work and budget plans are prepared before work
is started and are submitted to the City program
manager for approval. After those are secured,
the Project Manager monitors the team members
to ensure the work is done within the scope of
services identified and the work is being performed
within the budget and schedule approved by
the City program manager. Specifically, Project
Managers monitor that milestones are met, funding
strategies are implemented, and that there is
regular invoicing for fund reimbursements. Anything
not meeting the performance expectations is
brought to the immediate attention of the City.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
During the design phase, we will perform extensive
constructability and value engineering reviews of
the design documents. We will identify the critical
areas of design and focus our reviews accordingly.

These areas include grading/drainage, asphalt
and concrete paving improvements, traffic signal
modifications, ADA accessibility, quality and
specifications of hardscape materials, site lighting,
and irrigation systems. We will verify that all
disciplines are coordinated and that there are no
conflicts. This in turn will minimize the potential for any changes during construction.

During construction, we will coordinate all required
project inspections and reports. We will ensure that
the various City inspectors are contacted by the
Contractor according to City requirements and will
attend/facilitate meetings and on-site inspections
to ensure that all work is being constructed and
approved according to the contract documents and
project schedule.

The oversight of the Contractor’s Quality Assurance
and Quality Control programs is very important
to the success of any project. We will establish
a protocol with the Contractor to ensure that the
work that is performed on a day-to-day basis is in
compliance. We also will require that the Contractor
submit a project-specific QA/QC program that
specifically outlines and addresses the critical
issues and areas that we identify during the design
phase of the project. We also will require that the
Contractor designates an on-site team member as
QA/QC manager to be responsible for conducting
walk-throughs and to perform periodic checklists
to ensure that all work complies with the QA/QC
manual. All deficiencies will be documented and
all remedial work will be managed by NV5 and the
necessary consultants.

PROGRESS REPORTING
We will create financial reports and project status
reports to monitor the overall program delivery.

City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services NV5 | 45 E: WORK APPROACH - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Through these reports, we will develop a project
control system with “checks and balances” to
accomplish the following:
•Provide accurate, up-to-date information on
project budgets, status of work, emerging
project issues
•Provide up-to-date financial expenditures to
assist the City regarding the burn rate on the
project among various programmed phases, as
well as the type of revenues being expended
•Implementation of the “checks and balances”
monitoring of budgets. By creating reports, the
“checks and balances” is achieved in several
ways:
○The project manager will verify accuracy of
budget expenditures and make any needed
corrections immediately
○The City can review to double-check eligible
expenditures are in line with approved
budgets
○The public works director can quickly examine
the status and funding of the project

DESIGN MANAGEMENT
Our team focuses on three elements to ensure the
timely and successful completion of the project
design. These are:
•Prevention of Scope Creep: We will work
closely with the City and design team to ensure
a disciplined effort that keeps the original
project goals and objectives in clear focus.
•Establishment and maintenance of a design
schedule: We will ensure that critical review
and completion milestones are met. Should
the schedule slip, we will work closely with the
design team to formulate a recovery plan.
•Extensive reviews of the plans and
specifications: We will assure that all
disciplines are coordinated and that there are
no conflicts. This will minimize the potential for
any change orders.

COST ESTIMATING
The basis for reliable cost estimates will be the
development and updating of standard project
bid items, refinement of the existing Caltrans cost
estimating guidelines and to identify the bigticket items that generally control project costs.

Typically 10-15 items (sometimes less) drive project
construction costs. We excel at early identification
and analysis of those key construction items, and,
as a result, our initial estimates generally prove
accurate.

NV5 maintains an extensive database of unit prices
for public works construction items. This database
is regularly updated to formulate accurate cost
estimates

SCHEDULE CONTROL
The key to effective schedule control is to regularly
measure actual progress and compare it to
planned progress and to take any corrective action
immediately. We propose to supplement each
major task as identified in the master project
schedule with a supplemental schedule to keep
careful track of where each individual component
stands. We identify problems that may result from
delays and readily provide the opportunity to modify
the schedule, as required. This process ensures the
completion of your projects on schedule.

COST CONTROL AND REPORTING
Cost control is a key element to successfully
delivering a project and must be thoroughly
integrated with other control methods (scope
change control, schedule control and quality
control) to assure that the City receives full value
for all funds earmarked for the project. Key
elements of our cost control program include
establishment and maintenance of a budget;
value engineering and constructability reviews
of plans and specifications; sufficient vetting of
owner-requested or contractor-generated changes;
thorough review and evaluation of change order
cost proposals; close monitoring of force account
work; and regular maintenance of a change
order log. NV5 provides a monthly report that
includes work accomplished during the reporting
period, work to be completed during the next
reporting period, budget and schedule status,
and a summary of issues and concerns pending
resolution.

FAMILIARITY WITH STATE

AND FEDERAL PROCEDURES
We understand the development of Federal- and
State-funded projects requires more than the
preparation of design reports and PS&E. More
and more, engineers are required to navigate their
City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services NV5 | 46 E: WORK APPROACH - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
projects through the complex federal aid process
involving pre-award audits, authorizations, and
timely use of fund provisions. Our experience with
the regulatory agencies controlling these funding
sources has afforded us the opportunity to support
our clients through the process of developing
the day-to-day procedures required to secure
authorization and reimbursement for federally
funded projects. This participation has put us in a
position to offer our clients an unparalleled level of
understanding of the process required to comply
with Federal and State requirements. Our work
with local, state and federal agencies keeps us
in the forefront of current updates to policies and
procedures.

GENERAL APPROACH

TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Our approach to construction support services is
centered on our established policy of consistent
and effective employee oversight. The Project
Manager will closely monitor projects to verify that
our construction managers and inspectors are
performing within the guidelines of our established
management and inspection procedures, which are
patterned after the Caltrans Construction Manual.

NV5 takes this a step further by formulating and
implementing a proactive public relations program
and a concerted effort to identify previously
unforeseen potential claims.

SCHEDULE CONTROL
Our construction support services team gives
considerable attention to monitoring project
schedules. We will coordinate, review and make
recommendations for changes to the Critical
Path Method (CPM) schedule generated by the
contractor. As changes or discrepancies occur
between the CPM schedule and as-built conditions,
the project schedule and cost estimates will be
updated. We will review the contractor’s schedule
on a weekly basis and will maintain an as-built/
working schedule to reflect as-built conditions to
date.

COST CONTROL AND REPORTING
Cost control is a key element to successfully
delivering a project and must be thoroughly
integrated with other control methods (scope
change control, schedule control and quality
control) to assure that the City receives full value
for all funds earmarked for the project. Key
elements of our cost control program include
establishment and maintenance of a budget;
value engineering and constructability reviews
of plans and specifications; sufficient vetting of
owner-requested or contractor-generated changes;
thorough review and evaluation of change order
cost proposals; close monitoring of force account
work; and regular maintenance of a change
order log. NV5 provides a monthly report that
includes work accomplished during the reporting
period, work to be completed during the next
reporting period, budget and schedule status,
and a summary of issues and concerns pending
resolution.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
To assure compliance with the plans and
specifications, we will implement a comprehensive
quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
program involving the following steps:
•We will perform a thorough review of the
contract documents. This responsibility will
include the following tasks:
○Checking plans and specifications against
requirements that have been associated with
issues that occurred on similar jobs.
○Comparing existing elevations, grades and
details, etc., shown on plans with those at the
actual site.
○Reporting all errors, omissions and
deficiencies, etc., to the City and engineering
design team.
○Keeping a marked-up set of plans and
specifications for quick reference.
○Anticipating the Contractor’s operations by
reviewing the plans and specifications for
each one before it begins.
•Before start of construction, we will discuss
with the Contractor the definable features
of work to assure that documentation is
complete, materials are on hand and those
who are to perform the work understand the
scope in its entirety.
•At the onset of the work, we will perform
an initial inspection to determine whether
the Contractor thoroughly understands and
is capable of accomplishing the work as
specified.
•We will assure that the Contractor has an
City of Pico Rivera | On-Call Engineering Staff Augmentation Services NV5 | 47 E: WORK APPROACH - SCOPE OF SERVICES
established safety program and that regular
safety meetings are conducted. We will also
assure that the Contractor meets all OSHA
safety requirements.
•The construction inspector will perform followup inspections on a daily basis for the purpose of assuring that the controls established during
the initial inspection continue to provide work
that conforms to the contract requirements
and all applicable standards. Unsatisfactory
workmanship, materials and construction
deficiencies will be documented and reported
for future identification and traceability.

Notices of non-compliance will be issued to the
Contractor and corrective and preventive action
will be taken to assure compliance with the
contract documents.
•We will conduct a monthly review of the asbuilt drawings and assure that all items are considered in the changes of the record
drawings, including:
○The size, type and location of existing and
new utility lines
○The layout and schematic drawings of
electrical circuits and piping
○Verification of alignment and cross sections
○Changes in the location of equipment, etc.
•Finally, we will review and approve the as-built
drawings to complete the project turnover and
begin the warranty period.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Our construction support services team is wellversed in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements and experienced
in implementing best management practices. We
will monitor the implementation, maintenance
and any required modification of the approved
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and
Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). In the
event that the project specifications for developing
the SWPPP or WQMP are inadequate and cannot
support the project needs or meet current NPDES
requirements, we will work closely with the design
consultants to incorporate the required provisions
into the project specifications to meet these goals.

In addition, our team includes Qualified SWPPP
Developers and Qualified SWPPP Practitioners.
