Before execution of this Agreement by the City, the Consultant shall file with the Public Works Director/City Engineer the following signed certification:
I am aware of, and will comply with, Section 3700 of the Labor Code, requiring every employer to be insured against liability of Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance before commencing any of the work.

The City, its officers and employees shall not be responsible for any claims in law or equity occasioned by failure of the consultant to comply with this section.
Neither the CITY nor any of its elected or appointed officials, officers, agents, employees, or volunteers makes any representation that the types of insurance and the limits specified to be carried by Consultant under this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant.
If Consultant believes that any such insurance coverage is insufficient, Consultant shall provide, at its own expense, such additional insurance as Consultant deems adequate.
5.2. Endorsements. The commercial general liability insurance policy and business automobile liability policy shall contain or be endorsed to contain the following provisions as worded below:
(a) Additional insureds: "The City of Placentia and its elected and appointed boards, officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers are addition- al insureds with respect to: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the Consultant pursuant to its contract with the City; products and completed operations of the Consultant; premises owned, occupied or used by the Consultant; automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by the Consultant."
(b) Notice: "Consultant shall provide immediate written notice if (1) any of the required insurance policies is terminated; (2) the limits of any of the required polices are reduced; (3) or the deductible or self-insured retention is increased. In the event of any cancellation or reduction in coverage or limits of any insurance, Consultant shall forthwith obtain and submit proof of substitute insurance. Should Consultant fail to immediately procure other insurance, as specified, to substitute for any canceled policy, the City may procure such insurance at Consultant's sole cost and expense."
(c) Other insurance: "The Consultant's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers. Any other insurance maintained by the City of Placentia shall be excess and not contributing with the insurance provided by this policy."
6 Rev. 08/2017
(d) Any failure to comply with the reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers.
(e) The Consultant's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
5.3. Deductible or Self -Insured Retention. If any of such policies provide for a deductible or self-insured retention to provide such coverage, the amount of such deductible or self-insured retention shall be approved in advance by City.

5.4. Certificates of Insurance.

The certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by this reference.

A. Transmittal Letter
The City of Placentia has challenges like most agencies; the need to maintain and upgrade the aging infrastructure with limited funding and resources. Given the diverse Capital Improvement Program (CIP) needs, the City of Placentia requires a multi -faceted engineering firm that is responsive, and prioritizes close communication, quality, integrity, detailed documentation, technical proficiency, and stewardship to protect your interests and realize your vision. One such example of stewardship is the recent partnership between the City of Placentia and HR Green Pacific, Inc. (HR Green) in the Old Town Placentia Streetscape Improvement Project. HR Green was able to work with the City to "right -size" the project scope to assist you with moving the design forward. Additionally, we have served the City as City Engineer, Project/Program Manager, and provide Plan Check services within the last decade. HR Green is the ideal team to provide the City of Placentia with Civil Engineering Design Services.
Because HR Green is a provider of various on-call engineering services to communities throughout Southern California, including Placentia, we understand the needs of your City and have the experience bringing our unique skills to you. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors in several ways: exclusively serving public agencies in Southern California, leveraging technology, demonstrating a successful track record delivering multi -faceted CIP projects, providing scalable solutions, and offering alternative service delivery options to maximize funding sources and efficiency. HR Green has successfully delivered a broad array of project types such as complete streets, roadway widening, median improvements, traffic signals and intersection improvements, sidewalks, drainage analysis/improvements, as well as wide variety of pavement rehabilitation strategies throughout Southern California.
HR Green has the staffing and ability to provide the necessary services identified in the RFP and will incorporate Kelsoe and Associates, Inc. for survey/mapping services when necessary for the required scope of work. Additionally, if the need arises for Geotechnical work, we will turn to our trusted subconsultant, Terracon. We have well-established relationships with both firms and have provided their rates as well as ours.
The remainder of the potential work will be managed and conducted by in-house HR Green staff. We are committed to the on-going and successful implementation of providing the necessary engineering services to the City of Placentia.

D. Allocation of Resources
As the City identifies project needs, our Program Manager and appropriate Task Leaders will meet with the City
to clarify your scope requirements and schedule. To
provide a comprehensive solution, they will coordinate
with your staff to determine staff needs and validate we are mobilizing the best fit to meet your needs. These
individuals will be supported by a cadre of multi -faceted personnel. Moreover, given our depth of staff, (60+ in
Southern California / 700+ nationally) and specialized
capabilities, we can seamlessly mobilize additional
in-house resources to meet your needs. To maintain
legacy knowledge and institutional continuity, we strive to assign and maintain the same staff to deliver continuity, consistency, responsiveness, and quality service.
Since more than 90% of our services are provided through multi-year, as -needed contracts, we have the ideal mix of multi -faceted staff and depth of technical capabilities to efficiently meet workload peaks and valleys. Consequently, our current and anticipated workload of our staff is
moderate, allowing for rapid response to dynamically
changing needs, unforeseen conditions, and/or priority
issues.
The list of project types/services identified within the RFP and from our research of the City's CIP are all consistent with the successful services the HR Green team has
provided for many other agencies. While the types of
projects/services are broad, we have provided an overall approach to civil engineering design that is typical for most projects.

HRGreen.
Public Involvement
Public outreach is an important phase of high-profile
capital projects. It is key to gain feedback from the public and obtain support for a successful project. HR Green
will compile the data and develop recommendations
for outreach to agencies and stakeholders, including
Caltrans and Orange County as appropriate, local schools, and businesses adjacent to each project. Our team will
formalize outreach objectives through the development of a Public Engagement Plan. The Public Engagement Plan
will guide the public and key stakeholders throughout
the project and will include communication tools (contact database, website, social media), communication materials (fact sheet, display hoard, flyers), outreach activities (community meetings, surveys), and also maintains project documentation such as comment/chat logs.
Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis
If the project calls for it (i.e., addition of new curb and gutter, roadway widening, complete streets, new storm
drain infrastructure, etc.) HR Green can provide hydrologic, hydraulic and/or water quality modeling. Whether it is a 1D/2D XPSWMM, HEC -RAS, HEC -HMS or CUHP model of
a flood -prone area, a P8 Urban Water Quality model of an urban subwatershed, or a HydroCAD model of a small site design, HR Green works with our clients to select the most appropriate and effective approach based on available
data and output needs.
With the current increase in data availability and quality, HR Green has worked to develop automated tools within
GIS and XPSWMM to build models more efficiently
and more accurately, HR Green recently partnered with
Optimatics, an infrastructure optimizing software that
analyzes hundreds of improvement options in XPSWMM
based on the cost to benefit ratio as determined by the owner.
Many of these programs are utilized on projects completed by HR Green,

Our assigned project managers will coordinate closely with Placentia and draw upon a core team of local engineering support staff, all of whom have served in leadership roles with public agencies in California. Based on the assignment at hand, we will verify availability and assign the right staff for the right project.
Receive Project Management Task from the City
Upon request from the City to manage, oversee, evaluate, monitor, and participate in the management of a project.
We will lay out a road map for the project. It is one of the most critical steps in starting a project. Communicating early and often is another essential ingredient for our recipe of successfully executed senior civil engineering services.
Project Understanding and Project Controls
After collaborating with the City regarding a specific
assignment/project (via task order issuance), we will
start reviewing the readily available information, such as the project file, and request additional information from appropriate City staff to come up with a full understanding of the project phase (planning, design, or construction) and where the project stands within that phase. We will then create a DRAFT Work Plan (WP) for the assigned
project that will define the necessary steps and the critical path to accomplishing the assignment with key milestones that must be met to keep the project/task on schedule.
HRGreen,
Project Planning, Resourcing, and Initiation
To perform and keep track of work assignments/projects, we will develop weekly project planning, monitoring, and reporting procedures such as our Time Phased Backlog
and Three -Month Look Ahead Schedule to make sure
that each task order has adequate resources to meet
the Project Schedule. We will maintain decision logs for critical individual design projects that keep track of key design decisions made throughout the life of a project. The logs contain a description of the decision, the date it was made, the key decision maker, as well as the reasoning
and objective of the decision. With issues being raised and decisions being made through different types of
communication, phone, email, meetings, having a single
document is critical,
Project Design Management
Our Project Design Management phase will develop plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) based on project
needs and City requests. If desired, we can assist with preparing requests for professional design services,
developing RFP packages, analyzing and recommending
contract awards, and preparing staff reports for Council approval. Upon selection of a design professional, HR
Green will negotiate task orders, coordinate with utilities, review preliminary and final plans and specifications,
and compile input from agencies, stakeholders and the
City. Our assigned staff will evaluate this information with you, identify necessary corrective actions, and ensure
the design consultant finalizes plans and specifications accordingly. Throughout, our project manager will maintain updated cost estimates to avoid funding surprises later, Finally, we will present the final hid package for your approval before publishing the construction bid.
At HR Green, providing excellent customer service is
our highest priority. We adapt to our clients' needs and desires, making sure that we provide the solutions to
your challenges in a manner that suits your staff and your citizens.

STAFF AUGMENTATION ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
Issue: Fit into Specific Municipal Culture
Solution: Every City has its own culture, reporting
structure, expectations, and goals, On-site consultant
staff must exhibit utmost professionalism and well -refined interpersonal skillsets to be a team player and seamlessly integrate within your organization while being nimble to respond to changing priorities and emergency situations.
Note: Staffing levels and hours will be reviewed with
the City to assure your needs are met. We also make a
commitment to 24/7 access to our staff in the event of
responding to emergencies and changing or unforeseen
conditions.
Issue: Follow City Protocols/Processes
Solution: Our staff will be knowledgeable with applicable codes, ordinances, design standards, and regulatory
requirements. They will be responsible for meeting the
performance expectations set forth by the City. Citizens and inter/intra-agency personnel interfacing with HR Green staff must feel they are having the same "transactional business" experience as they would with a City employee.
Issue: Flexibility/Adaptability to Respond to
Whatever Needs Arise
Within the municipal arena, particularly where
there is a lean organization, there are consistent time sensitive deadlines, emergency issues requiring immediate response, diverse tasks, and potentially changing
priorities. Our staff must possess a diverse technical
skillset; be nimble, quick, and flexible to embrace change; and possess the ability to effectively transition between such assorted tasks as reviewing plans, analyzing codes and situations to consider appropriateness of alternative materials and methods, writing a staff report, inspecting new construction or improvements, and/or handling
inquiries at the counter. A successful element of our
Service Delivery philosophy is utilizing multi -faceted staff who can wear many hats, transition between various roles, and easily transition between different tasks in order to:
► Maximize utilization
► Minimize staff levels
► Maintain service consistency
► Reduce costs, paper, and storage
► Maximize a paperless office environment

Schedule Control
HR Green employs proven best practices and a proactive
plan to control project schedules.
Utilizing Microsoft Project and Primavera P6 enterprise solutions, the schedule will specifically include QC
deliverable milestones and critical path that list the
significant QC activities, including task level reviews, project manager and constructability reviews, schedule
reviews, budget reviews and, most importantly,
construction document reviews. We will develop, resource load, baseline, and consistently monitor the progress of the project. Our schedule update is essential to give the City an overview of the project status, issues, budgets and, most importantly, delivery date.
We consistently incorporate best practice tools
(implementation of policies, procedures, and standards) in our assignments. This flexibility and adaptability adds great value in responding to changing needs without
missing a beat.
We maintain effective and open communication with
stakeholders early on to ensure they understand the
latest standards and requirements, and are receiving
the requisite supporting data and documentation to
expeditiously move forward with construction and
compliance with design standards.
One of the most helpful ways to keep projects on track
is to establish open communication early and often
(verbal and comprehensive written documentation/
correspondence) throughout the design and construction
process. Establishing a positive rapport and working
relationship at the initial and subsequent meetings will promote constructive dialogue between stakeholders.
Mutual buy -in can be established on areas of concern,
performance expectations, goals, action items, methods
of construction, design standards, code interpretations, milestones, etc. Our staff will serve as a facilitator and problem -solver to maintain forward momentum. They
will visit the site to determine the improvements are
practicable to existing site conditions and will try to anticipate issues to avoid future disputes.
HR Green also possesses a deep bench of in-house
resources. We can call upon additional staff or
specific technical proficiency from any of our
offices across the nation to get your project back
on schedule, if needed.
As discussed earlier, HR Green will implement the most
appropriate proven best practice tools and technologies to reduce paper, save time and money, enhance
collaboration; and streamline communication and service delivery.
Some of these items include, but will not be limited to:
► Electronic plan check
► Permitting software
► Tracking logs
► Smartphone and tablet -based field applications
► Monthly progress reports
► GIS interface to track data and manage infrastructure assets
► Maximize usage of City's mapping and integration
platform and decision-making tool to track data and
identify trends in CIP, permit, and maintenance activity; infrastructure assets; actions; and results

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program
HR Green understands that Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) rely on more than just a quality product; it relies on the processes and management that it takes to deliver that product. The benefit of this to the City is working with a consultant who has established a Quality Management Plan that is distributed company -wide, which streamlines processes and identifies roles on a project -by -project basis.
Derek Wieske, PE, will be the QA/QC Manager for this project with the responsibility for verifying that the QC processes outlined in the Quality Management Plan are adhered to by using an ongoing QA audit process.
QA/QC Program Elements
1. Quality Management Plan (QMP) — A QMP will be
prepared by the Project Manager and approved by the
Quality Manager for each project. It will be reviewed
and adopted by the team at the kickoff meeting. This
plan will set forth the quality control and assurance
procedures to he used, key staff and their roles and
schedules for the various reviews to be conducted.
2. Risk Management Plan — A Risk Management
meeting will be held and a Risk Management Plan will
be prepared. The purpose of this plan is to identify
and mitigate technical risks which would endanger the
project schedule or budget. This meeting is chaired by
the Project Manager assisted by the QM and in-cludes
all discipline leads. Example risks include determining acquisition needs, construction cost, and permitting.
All three of these can delay the project, but early
identification and mitiga-tion will help keep the project moving.
3. Intra -Discipline Check — Ongoing quality control
checking of documents will be the responsibility of
the Task Leaders in accordance with the project QMP.
The Task Leader will perform the check or assign an
experi-enced member of the designer's discipline to
complete the check. In addition, a QA review will take
place prior to contract submittals to affirm the QC
procedures have been followed.
4. Inter -Discipline Reviews — These reviews focus
on coordination between disciplines, interference
checks and systems inte-gration. This review would
take place before each submittal and be performed
by senior technical staff with experience in multiple
disciplines.

5. Constructibility/Value Engineering Review —
Prior to each contractual submittal, a Constructibility/ Value Engineering review will take place. This review
is performed by construction staff and focuses on
construction methods and techniques to identify
problems and optimize schedule and cost.
6. Peer Reviews — Prior to the conceptual design
completion submittal, a peer review will be performed
by a senior engineer not previously involved with
the project. The focus of this review will include key
elements as well as mitigation issues from the Risk
Management Plan.
Each team member has specific quality assurance
responsibilities; however, the primary responsibility for quality assurance rests with the Program/Project Manager.
They are responsible for client communications, act as
the liaison among the project team members, and are
responsible for meeting the project schedule.

HR Green's Forward -Thinking Approach
HR Green is at the forefront of leveraging industry -
recognized thought leadership, alternative service delivery options, best practices, and cutting-edge technology to save time and money, enhance operational efficiencies,
procure funding, and deliver long-term sustainability.
Below are a few examples that can add overall value to
your community in this category:
LOOKING
FORWARD
Alternative Pavement Design
The annual rehabilitation of residential street pavement places a priority on accelerating the design and
construction to mitigate impacts to residents. HR Green has successfully worked with the region's leading paving contractors to provide an alternate GIS -based approach to traditional PS&E preparation to save time and money by
20-30%.
The established way to prepare plans for most types of
projects is to perform a design/field survey in order to collect an existing inventory of field items (e.g., manholes, water valves, fire hydrants, etc.) as well as to prepare base plans. Many projects still require this level of detail.
However, by utilizing existing GIS data (obtained by HR Green without the need for the City to have a system)
as well as through a thorough field reconnaissance, we
can prepare plan sheets with all of the requested and
necessary information at a considerable cost savings to the City, By utilizing and preparing preliminary plans based upon GIS, we can import any utility information the City already has available.
HRGreena
Collaboration and Communication
Upon project assignment from the City, HR Green will
identify a Project Manager. The Project Manager will be 100% available to the City during the duration of the
project and will actively monitor the design team and
provide updates on a bi-weekly basis, or as directed by the City, to all project stakeholders. As needed, project progress meetings will include Bluebeam Studio sessions; these would allow for active real-time collaboration
between the City and the HR Green team.
Internally, the Project Manager will have weekly progress meetings to ensure the project is moving at or ahead
of the required schedule. Our office environment is
designed to promote collaboration among the design
team and project managers. When COVID-19 precautions
and restrictions didn't allow the full -capacity use of our offices, our team was quick to set up project forums using Zoom. For the past three years, our team has maintained project chat forums for projects' progress; this new mode of communication has become the best way to keep the
entire team in the loop on a daily basis and has proven to boost our team efforts and time use.
Fiber Broadband/Smart City Design
HR Green staff members have been instrumental
in fiber and broadband/Smart City assessments,
visioning, planning, design, program management, and
deployment nationally. We offer comprehensive small
cell/5G consulting, including assessments, public policy development, design standard development, plan check,
inventorying, permit processing, GIS mapping and program management. In addition, we have provided education
to municipalities and the industry through in-house,
nationally -recognized thought leaders, including at national symposiums, on future proofing options to leverage
emerging technologies and Smart City/agency solutions
and respond to new legislation/mandates.
On -Call Civil Engineering Services 1 City of Placentia
E. Understanding of Scope of Work
HR Green has the qualified proposed staff, successful
experience, and proven best practices to provide the
services and produce the deliverables detailed in your
RFP. Our primary goal for the City is to implement
a management, staffing and resource plan, assign
appropriate administrative services, and create best
practices and a service delivery model for the City's
needs. We will not only align our services to your mission and expectations, but also provide the best value, quality, and operational efficiency by incorporating the latest
technology, paperless processes, public outreach (as
necessary) and streamlined communication amongst all
parties.
The City of Placentia has a robust Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) covering various types of projects. The
infrastructure projects listed throughout the CIP are the critical projects that residents and visitors to the City expect to be completed. The higher profile projects (i.e., ADA Transition Plan, Public Works Asset Management
Plan, parking lot upgrades, modernization of Public
Safety Center, etc.) require careful planning, community involvement, value engineering, and clear design services.
Given the size and complexity of the projects, the City needs a multi -faceted engineering firm to effectively
complete the budgeted projects. To assist the City in
completing these important public improvements, HR
Green is proposing a full range of experienced staff
members to help meet your current needs and future
goals. Our proposed staff have successfully provided these services for municipal agencies throughout Orange County and Southern California. We will implement a plan that is responsive to your needs, will remain flexible to changing conditions, and match the right mix of staff.
Realizing the City's primary source of funding for
infrastructure is Measure U, the City needs to be diligently moving projects forward to completion. Although the
majority of Measure U funding is allocated towards street projects (approximately 70%), there is still available
funding for the projects that help make neighborhoods
proud to be part of Placentia. The aggressive budget
and schedule to maintain and upgrade City parks is what helps.
HRGreen.
One thing that the majority of the projects listed
throughout the seven-year CIP document have in common
is the project delivery. Regardless of the funding source, the City needs a team that can be relied upon to take a project from the early planning stages, through design, and ultimately construction. Whether the project is the annual street resurfacing or development of the ADA
Transition Plan, the City can rely on HR Green to work
collaboratively through the preparation of progress
submittals at various stages of completion (i.e., 50%,
90%, and 100% completion). HR Green understands that
the development of a project from beginning to end could be a multi -discipline team, or an all-encompassing single consultant, yet, needs to be a seamless experience for the City.
Along with the development and execution of
infrastructure projects comes the necessary construction support services. HR Green understands the importance
of delivering a high quality design project doesn't end once submitted to the City for bidding. HR Green stands behind the work and will provide the City with the necessary
construction support services to ensure the questions are resolved quickly. We provide the seamless transition from design to construction since we perform value engineering reviews of the projects prior to final delivery, while utilizing this same staff to perform the needed field functions
during construction.

Limonite Avenue Widening: HR Green prepared conceptual design, final design oversight, construction management, and inspection and materials testing coordination of the $5M widening of the major arterial connecting Interstate 15 to businesses, new residential developments and City Hall, involving masonry/poured retaining walls, RCP storm drain, CMLC water main relocation, monument entries, extended an existing equestrian/pedestrian undercrossing connector to adjacent parkland to enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities, utility coordination, extensive PCC work (curb, gutter, ADA ramps, sidewalk, etc.), bridge widening, embankments, signal modification, and ARHM overlay. The project recycled the existing base material in-place rather than hauling off and importing new, virgin base material. This conserved natural resources and reduced mining operations and truck trips, thereby saving fuel and reducing pollution. Our staff also developed a multi -modal traffic management plan for reducing traffic impacts during the closure as well as a community outreach program.
Van Buren Boulevard Widening: HR Green prepared the final PS&E package for the widening of the existing 4 -lane arterial to a 6 -lane expressway while maintaining the raised center median. The roadway was widened with new curb and gutter, and the shoulder on the west side was graded for a future multi-purpose trail. Due to the close proximity to residential development on the west side and a Union Pacific Railroad on the east side, retaining walls were designed throughout most of the corridor to avoid significant cut/fill slopes on private property. In addition to the retaining walls, a new sound wall was placed along the entire west wide of the project. In addition to the street improvements new storm drain was added where necessary and existing culverts were modified to accommodate the new improvements. An existing signalized intersection was also modified to accommodate the new travel lanes. With Van Buren Boulevard being such a heavily traveled roadway during peak hours detailed staging plans were required. Permanent right-of-way or temporary construction easements were required in order to construct the project at 13 parcels.
Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Program: HR Green prepared PS&Es for seven project phases. In order to expedite the design process the HR Green team utilized a GIS -based plan approach. We were able to design, bid, and construct $9M worth of neighborhood pavement rehabilitation projects in 18 months.
Citywide Guardrail Upgrades: HR Green prepared plans for the upgrade of all existing non-standard guardrail segments throughout the City. This included 19 locations and 28 segments, This project also included the grant administration and processing through Caltrans for the HSIP funds.
Mission Boulevard ADA Improvements: This project included the removal and reconstruction of 50 existing non-compliant ADA access ramps to bring up to current ADA regulations on Mission Boulevard between Ben Nevis and Valley Way. As part of the design we did a thorough field review of all existing ramps to document existing conditions and identified which ramps could be protected in place. Design survey and detailed ramp designs were completed for several of the ramps that were non-standard or where a standard plan could not he used.
Sunnyslope Area SR2S Sidewalk Improvements: HR Green staff designed nearly two miles of new sidewalks in the vicinity of Sunnyslope Elementary School. The project included new sidewalks, new ADA access ramp bump -outs to shorten crossings, a pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacon at an uncontrolled school crossing, and new high visibility crosswalks throughout the project. The design had to consider the steep grade changes at the residential properties, most of which sat below the existing roadway.
Construction Management/Inspection: We provide construction management and inspection of 2,000+ housing units and mixed-use developments as well as a more than $9M annual CIP Program (roadway widening, drainage improvements, Safe Route to Schools, congestion relief).

This included topographic survey and right-of-way mapping for the project area. Private improvements within the public right-of-way were identified to be removed, relocated, or protected. Reconstruction of all existing driveway approaches were identified and details were provided to maintain ADA compliance throughout the path of travel.
Phillips Ranch Road Pavement Rehabilitation: HR Green prepared street improvement plans for this small stretch of Phillips Ranch Road between Scenic Ridge Road and Village Loop Road crossing over State Route 60. Per the City's PMP a 2" cold mill of the entire surface and 2" ARHM overlay were designed.
A thorough field reconnaissance was performed to confirm that was the correct treatment. In addition to the pavement rehabilitation, coordination with Caltrans was necessary to plot existing Caltrans ROW and to obtain the necessary encroachment permits.
District 4 Alley Improvements: HR Green prepared alley improvement plans for two existing alley segments within District 4 of the City. The improvement plans included plan/profile design for Alley 1 - north of Monterey Avenue between Palm and Paloma and Alley 2 - south of Monterey Avenue between Palm and Paloma.
This included topographic survey and right-of-way mapping for the two alleys.
Permeable concrete was called for the in ribbon gutter of Alley 2 along with the placement several dry well inlets in order to alleviate flooding concerns and the downstream end of the alley.
Mission Boulevard: HR Green provided construction management for the installation of Americans with Disability Act (ADA) improvements, signal conduit and minor drainage improvements on Mission Boulevard. The $4M project is immediately adjacent to commercial and residential properties that needed to be kept informed as to the progress of the project as well as given advanced notice anytime access to their property would be impacted. HR Green worked proactively with the City's contractor to minimize disruption and resident complaints. Also required oversight of contractor claims, federal funding requirements and field operations to verify the project was completed in conformance with contract documents and that the City had all the necessary documentation to be expeditiously reimbursed by state and/or federal agencies. Activities included developing an emergency response plan, QA/Inspection plan, disputes/claims management plan and a variety of documentation and records management.

On -Call Civil Engineering Services I City of Claremont HR Green provides on-call engineering, on-call plan review/project management, and roadway design, including the preparation of improvement plans for several projects to better service pedestrians, bicyclists, and improve the overall driveability of roadways.
SAMPLE PROJECTS:
Towne Avenue Street Improvements: Towne Avenue is a main corridor in Claremont.
It is only one of two roads in Claremont with access to the 210 freeway, making it one of the heaviest used routes in the City. HR Green provided design services for improvements to Towne Avenue that incorporated "complete streets." This design included the addition of new landscaped medians down the center of Towne Avenue and tree wells along the sidewalks on both sides of the street. New bulb outs were also incorporated into the design to slow down traffic and allow for a more comfortable and safer path for pedestrians when crossing the street. New Class IV protected bike lanes and bike boxes at the intersections were designed to increase visibility and better serve bicyclists, while improving the drivability of the road for motorists. Driving lanes and hike paths have been designed to be separated by small, landscaped medians reducing stress of both bicyclists and motorists. Traffic signal enhancements were also part of the project.
Such improvements included upgraded signal lights, Intelligent Accessible Pedestrian Systems (APS) and new video detection. Other features and amenities included pavement rehabilitation, landscape, and hardscape upgrades. Such features included sidewalk and driveway replacement and new ADA ramps to replace existing ramps. HR Green also designed "green street" components, incorporating Modular Wetland devices at existing catch basins and infiltration trenches within the center medians when possible. HR Green is now providing complete construction management and inspection services.
Mt. Baldy Road Pavement Rehabilitation: In 2019 HR Green prepared improvement plans for Mt. Baldy Road between North Mills Avenue and Grand Avenue with plan view only GIS -based plans. HR Green prepared construction bid drawings for the cold mill and overlay, re -striping drawings, technical specifications, and an engineer's estimate of probable construction costs. HR Green's GIS -based approach saved the City roughly 15% in engineering fees.

Foothill Boulevard Complete Street Improvements: HR Green designed multi -modal street improvements which included narrowing the existing 90' roadway to 54' with new curb and gutter, a separated Class IV cycle track and 6' separated sidewalk on the south side, new 10' sidewalk/trail on the north side, signal modifications to two intersections, a new traffic signal, new parkway landscaping throughout, reconstruction of the existing pavement, street lighting, and new storm drain. By incorporating crucial pedestrian and cycling facilities inside the existing right-of-way and reducing the widths of travel lanes without decreasing capacity, the project improves safety for all users. The development of the new Class IV cycle track on the south side connects to existing Class Il facilities to the east of the project which was also modified to provide a better and safer transition for cyclists,
Foothill Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation: HR Green provided improvement plans, including separate signing and striping plans with the addition of buffered Class II bike lanes, specifications, and cost estimates for the rehabilitation of the 2.5 mile stretch of Foothill Boulevard between Milliken Avenue and East Avenue. The replacement of existing ADA facilities was also provided with a detailed survey and design of each individual access ramp. The project also included traffic signal modifications at each of the existing signalized intersections to provide new video detection systems throughout the corridor. In addition HR Green coordinated with Caltrans to obtain permit approvals for the construction of the project.

Etiwanda Grade Separation: HR Green assigned a Civil Engineer in a staff augmentation project management role for utility coordination involving the scheduling and facilitation of a weekly meeting with over a dozen utility purveyors to relocate their utilities for the project.
Our staff maintained a running matrix with all utilities and the status of their progress to keep on top of each stage and monitor that they stay on schedule. This involved preparing utility agreements and providing CAD support by creating utility and right-of-way exhibits for City Council and other coordination meetings.

On -Call Civil Engineering Services 1 City of Palos Verdes Estates Since 2015, HR Green has provided full staffing services, including, but not limited to building and safety administration, construction and project management, inspection, building official, plan check, city engineering, public works engineering, transportation planning, traffic engineering, CIP program management, staff augmentation, and grant writing/administration.
HR Green provides on-call engineering and design, construction management, and inspection of infrastructure improvements (e.g., pavement striping and marking on various roadways; annual street resurfacing and slurry seal program; and citywide drainage improvements and street repairs.). Our staff helps prioritize maintenance activities, catch basin cleaning, and placement of water quality BMPs due to El Nino.
We prepared a Pavement Management Program by integrating data from an older program that had been prepared in 2006 with only office updates in 2011. Data condition was assessed by a walking survey of 70 centerline miles of streets by a StreetSaver Certified Pavement Condition Rater. HR Green also completed a 10 -year CIP management plan for the city. The CIP plan includes a complete analysis of all potential capital improvement needs the city may require.
SAMPLE PROJECTS:
Via Coronel and Zurita Sanitary Sewer: HR Green prepared Sewer Improvement Plans for the extension of an 8" vitrified clay pipe (VCP) within Via Coronel and the abandonment and realignment an existing 8" VCP line off Via Zurtia. The realignment was designed with an 8" vitrified clay jacking pipe (VCJP) installed via directional boring located within an easement. This project also included a temporary sewer bypass line, the replacement of sewer manholes, and the reconstruction of an existing manhole. This project required coordination with the property owners and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts.
Via Campesina Street Improvements: HR Green prepared Street Improvements and Signing and Striping Plans from Via La Cuesta to Paseo Del Campo. This project included cold milling of existing AC pavement, Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) overlay, construction of 8" AC berm, localized pavement repairs, and localized concrete repairs. 2021-2022 Street Improvement Project: HR Green prepared Street Improvement and Signing and Striping Plans for approximately 2 miles of road along the coast. This project included cold milling of existing AC pavement, Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) overlay, construction of new concrete curb and gutter, and localized pavement repairs. Because this is primarily a residential area, coordination with the local schools was essential.
