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.

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.

(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.

(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.

E. UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF WORK
TAIT thoroughly understands and acknowledges the
potential Scope of Work and Services as outlined
in Section 4. of the RFP. Public works engineering contracts require careful planning, effective communication, and
precise execution in order to avoid costly contract change orders during the construction phase. Additionally, as this contract includes potential local, state or federally funded design and construction contracts, it is critical that the selected team have a thorough understanding of the design, approval, and construction processing requirements for each funding source and, as is the case for federal projects, the requirements outlined in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). In an effort to ensure consistent and excellent services on this contract, TAIT will employ our proven 5 step project management protocol (Understand > Assign > Plan > Execute > QA/QC) on each assigned contract:
UNDERSTAND:
Upon receipt of an RFP from the City, TAIT will conduct a cursory project review and will research existing conditions (field, environmental, regulation, and stakeholders) in order to ensure we have a full understanding of the scope. We will also meet with the City to discuss the project in an effort to understand the City's needs.
The potential scope of work under this contract is anticipated to include local and state funded design services on contracts such as:
preparation of detailed roadway rehabilitation or widening plans, pipeline construction plans, signing & striping plans, traffic signal modification, and traffic control plans, project cost estimates, and project specifications in accordance with City standards. Design services may also require analysis of CEQA/NEPA requirements, preparation of design reports for hydrology and pre/post construction water quality documents (LID/SWPPP/NOI), review of construction phasing and impact, and the analysis of existing and proposed storm, sewer, and water facilities.
ASSIGN:
TAIT has in house expertise in public works roadway, water, sewer, storm drain, surveying, hydrology/ hydraulics, pre/post construction water quality control, architecture, and minor structural engineering and analysis. Based on the scope of the project, TAIT's Senior Project Manager will assign a lead Project Manager and/or Project Engineer to each contract whose backgrounds best matches the needs and complexity of the project. Key sub -consultants such as landscaping, MEP, and structural team members will then be assigned to the project at this phase based on the needs of the project.
PLAN:
We will prepare and submit a clear and concise scope of work, project schedule, and fee proposal that includes all necessary tasks to successfully complete the contract. Key considerations in the planning phase will include the funding source {local/state/ federal) and associated permitting/ documentation requirements, stakeholder requirements/needs, level of design detail desired by the City (plan/plan & profile), storm water quality requirements, coordination and meeting needs, and the overall scheduling needs.
EXECUTE:
Upon issuance of the notice to proceed, TAIT will actively and effectively execute the scope of work for the contract. An abridged summary of a typical project scope of work has been included below for City review. Our assigned project manager will stay in constant contact with the City and will remain available and responsive to the City's needs through the life of the project.
CITY OF PLACENTIA • OCTOBER 26, 2023 • PG. 15
ue
QA/QC:
TAIT employs our QA/QC program on each contract that we are awarded. A CA/QC manager will be assigned to each project to 1) ensure a quality design is employed, 2) verify all agencies/ disciplines are coordinated 3) check constructability through review of PS&E at each submittal, and 4) conduct an informal engineering cost assessment to ensure compliance with the City's specific project goals
RISK MANAGEMENT:
The greatest risk for delays in a project is the lack of foresight and understanding of the scope. With our proven work experience, high caliber staffing, and as a result of our 5 step project management protocol, The City can be assured that our proposals are complete and that our assigned team is fully qualified to design the project.
Each proposal to the City will be accompanied with a detailed project schedule that outlines key milestones, permitting needs, plan submittals, agency review periods, and utility coordination/ notification dates. TAIT will also stay in close contact with the City during the life of the project in order to ensure the project remains on schedule.
SCHEDULE CONTROL:
The Project Manager is responsible for efficiently directing the team and completing projects within the established budget. To accomplish this, the Project Manager must authorize and approve all time cords, work reports, change orders and expense sheets with the current modules of Deltek, which allows our project managers to track budgets, resources, contracts, and hours for each project.
TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.
ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
However, in cases where a project design has been delayed at no fault of the City, TAIT Management would reassess assigned personnel to the project, and review effort completed to make sure design is on point and has not deviated from the agreed upon path.
Meetings with project team personnel would be held to review the project and discuss options to accelerate design without impacting quality and the required deliverables. Additional personnel, overtime, and assignment of more senior level staff would be options considered by TAIT Management to bring the project back on schedule at no additional cost to the City.
CLIENT SERVICE:
Our client service approach is to know and understand the client's needs concerning the project, allowing us to assist the client as if we are an extension of their own staff. TAIT will follow a set of protocols established in our Project Instructions which will include the development of monthly progress reports (including schedule and budget), meeting attendance and reporting, and a clear understanding with the Client as to all Action Items that have yet to be completed.
CITY OF PLACENTIA • OCTOBER 26, 2023 • PG. 16
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY
CONTROL PROGRAM:
An important feature of our design process is our Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program. Mr. Broussard P.E., QSD/P, oversees TAIT's QA/QC Program.
TAIT's QA/QC Program focuses on the following four primary objectives:
1. To ensure that a quality design has been provided by following our in-house design checklists
2. To verify that different disciplines and agencies have been coordinated
3. To verify that the proposed improvements are constructible, and
4. To verify that a cost effective analysis approach was followed to achieve the client's gools
TAIT utilizes a Total Quality Management approach.
TAIT's philosophy is that quality control begins at day one and does not end until the project is constructed.
Quality Control is the responsibility of each and
every team member. It includes the selection of project team members who have demonstrated through experience the ability to understand and apply the project objectives to achieve a specific goal. It requires open and continuous communications between all team members and the client.
TAIT has developed internal design checklists. Design
checklists are used by our design team as a component of our firm's QC process.
TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.
ON -CAL CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Timely Quality Control Reviews are provided. Before
plans are submitted to outside parties and the approving agency/ agencies for review and approval, TAIT's QA/QC Manager or his designated QC team member conducts a thorough review to verify the quality, constructability and completeness of the submittal. A typical TAIT QA/QC Program includes the following steps:
1. Project Manager (PM) Transmits Design Documents
to the QA/QC Manager - The PM initiates the QC
process at agreed upon project milestones.
2. QA/QC Manager conducts initial review - The QA/
QC Manager reviews the submittal with the PM to obtain
project specific information and conducts a limited review on the completeness of the submittal.
3. Review of the Submittal — The submittal is reviewed using TAIT's internal checklists. Necessary corrections are identified on the submittal which is returned to the PM.
4. PM to Address QC Comments - The QA/QC Manager
and PM review the QC comments to set a course of action.
Any proposed Value Engineering (VE) measures are reviewed to determine the appropriate next step. The reviewed
documents are then returned to the design team.
5. PM finalizes Design Documents for Submittal to
the Agency - The PM meets with the design team to monitor progress and verify incorporation of the QC comments into the design documents. Any deviation from the QC comment or the agreed upon action is reviewed for acceptance prior to transmitting the final design documents to the City and other reviewing parties for their review and approval.

TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.
ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
The Norco Master Plan of Drainage Storm Drain Line N-4 project, includes the design of an 18 to 36 -inch storm drain main line along 4th Street from Valley View to the Norco Channel. The scope of work for the design of the storm drain system includes hydrology and hydraulics analysis for the proposed line, surveying, preparation of Plan, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E), assisting the City in the bidding process and construction support. The Storm Drain line extends approximately 2,700 linear feet, with 8 new storm drain inlets (curb opening catch basins) and it will join the existing 36 -inch storm drain outlet at Norco Channel.
Careful detailed was taken to the hydrology drainage delineation analysis to understand the tributory area to each of the proposed inlets and the storm drain main line. For this project TAIT completed a field walk to analyze the existing drainage conditions, worked along with the City in understanding their needs and reviewing any existing issues, as well as reviewed the proposed inlet locations to maximize flow capture. The proposed storm drain along 4th Street and Valley View, is a new system that will relieve the existing streets from surface drainage conveyance and reduce flooding or potential flooding issues along the existing residences.
Mesa Drive Widening & Drainage Improvements
City of Newport Beach
TAIT was hired by the City of Newport Beach as part of our On -Call Contract to design the drainage and roadway improvements associated with the Mesa Drive Widening Project. The project was necessitated due to existing traffic concerns with turning movements combined with high ponding and flooding that was occurring at the existing drainage inlet. The design included widening of Mesa Drive at Bay view Avenue as well as the re -grading and re -design of existing street drainage to capture the 10 year design storm which conveyed to an existing water quality diversion structure design to maintain perennial low flows to the Newport bay while diverting high flows to the storm drain system to avoid erosion in the bay. Design was completed in August of 2019 and construction was completed in the winter of 2019.

Chino Alley/Sanitation Rehabilitation Projects;
SN -161 & SN -191
City of Chino
TAIT provided full reconstruction design and surveying services to the City of Chino for nine (9) separate alley segments comprising of approximately 8,500 lineal feet of existing alleyways, protection of existing above ground utility appurtenances, PCC alley approaches, PCC ADA curb ramps, PCC ADA sidewalks, proposed bulb -outs, damaged water meter box replacements, and approximately 2,650 LF of a new 8" PVC waterline replacing a similar length of 50+ year old 6" ACP line within one alley. The City required that all points of connection to the existing systems running along crossing alleys be upgraded to include the newer and larger PVC water pipe and the installation of new water values in each cross alley. Many of the segments between cross alleys required obtaining approvals from the State Division of Drinking Water due to restricted vertical clearances between existing utilities installed in the narrow alley.
The contractor finalized Final punch list on this successful project in April 2022.
