4.0 CONCLUSIONS
In 2013, an E&TS was conducted for the City of Placentia. These speed zone recommendations were then used to set local prima facie speed zones and speed limits by ordinance of the City Council.
This E&TS confirms that the speed zones established in 2013 are still appropriate and should remain in effect. An E&TS sheet for each speed zone is provided in Appendix E. A complete summary of all recommendations was shown above in Table 1-1.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
VIA: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DEPUTY CITY ADMINISTRATOR / PUBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE DATE: APRIL 16, 2024
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR ON -CALL
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES
FISCAL
IMPACT: EXPENSE: $3,000,000 TOTAL CUMULATIVE CONTRACT NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT FOR A TOTAL OF SIX (6) ON -CALL CONTRACTS
REVENUE: VARIOUS CIP PROJECT BUDGETS
SUMMARY:
On January 9, 2024, Staff solicited qualifications from professional construction management firms to create a bench list of professional consultants to provide construction management and inspection services. These services include assisting in the overall delivery of projects, including preconstruction tasks, managing construction, ensuring that the work is completed in accordance with the contract documents, and project closeout and commissioning. A total of seventeen (17) qualification proposal packages were received and after a comprehensive review of each proposal, the top six (6) firms were selected to be placed on an on -call bench list. These firms possess the experience and expertise to deliver construction management and inspection services for the purpose of improving the City's infrastructure.
Staff recommends that City Council award contracts to the six (6) firms for a 3 -year term with an option for a two-year term extension based upon performance and at the discretion of the City. Each consultant shall serve on an on -call basis with a not -to -exceed contract amount of $500,000 each, the cost of which will be charged to individual project budgets. The purpose of having multiple firms on a bench list is to ensure efficient delivery of multiple capital improvement projects many of which may run concurrently. This action will provide the City with available on -call services for all construction management and inspection services in support of multiple CIP projects over the next 5 years. The City Council recently approved a series of on -call professional services agreements covering numerous disciplines such as civil engineering, architecture and landscape architecture for the purpose of creating consultant bench lists from which to draw professional services on for the City's various capital projects. Using an on -call bench list allows Staff to advance capital projects more quickly by reducing some of the administrative burden at the outset of a project.

STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
There is no specific strategic planning goal or objective associated with this agenda item.

April 16, 2024
DISCUSSION:
The City plans and budgets for capital projects as a part of the annual CIP budget adoption process. The Budget allocates funds for not only the construction of each project but also for soft costs such as professional services. In preparation for delivery of the City's various CIP projects, Staff prepared an RFP for on -call professional construction management and inspection services.
A total of seventeen (17) proposals were received from qualified consulting firms with extensive experience in construction management and inspection. The cumulative composite score for the top six firm's proposal is noted below:

80 Based upon each firm's extensive experience and expertise in providing professional construction management and inspection services, the top six (6) ranked firms were selected to be included in the on -call consultant bench list. By utilizing more than one firm to provide these services, the City can achieve greater flexibility in delivering capital improvement projects where professional construction management and inspection services are needed. Individual projects are assigned based upon the type of work to be performed as the expertise and experience of each firm will vary. For instance, firms with greater experience managing and inspecting roadway construction would be assigned those types of projects, whereas firms with greater experience in sewer or storm drain construction would provide construction management and inspection services on those types of projects. Assigning projects in this manner will ultimately ensure the individual experience and expertise of each construction management firm are closely matched to the unique scopes of work to be completed on each project.
The consultants providing professional construction management and inspection services will work on an on -call basis and the contracts are structured on a time and materials basis, with a not -to -exceed amount. Each firm will submit a separate cost proposal for each project for which they will provide these services. Since payment for these services is on a time and materials basis, the overall cost to the project is dependent upon the scope and complexity of the project.
The hours allocated by each firm to the projects to which they have been assigned is negotiated

and based upon actual project need, the cost of which is allocated within individual project budgets and is controlled by the hourly rates provided by each firm. The overall cost to provide professional construction management and inspection services will vary from project to project and is based upon the scope of work of each individual project. The proposed not -to -exceed contract amount for each agreement is an estimate of what the City could potentially pay for these services over an initial contract term of three (3) years. The City Council also recently approved a series of on - call bench list contracts for various professional disciplines such as civil engineering, architecture and landscape architecture services. Utilizing an on -call bench list in this fashion allows capital projects to be delivered faster by reducing some of the administrative burden.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact at this time. The cumulative not -to -exceed contract amount for each proposed agreement is $500,000 for a grand total of $3,000,000 across all six (6) proposed contracts. The award of these contracts does not commit the City to expending any funds for construction management and inspection services since the consultants will serve on an on -call, project by project basis. Funds for construction management and inspection services are budgeted as part of individual project budgets funded within the City's annual CIP Budget.

RE: RFP No. PW-24-01 On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services Dear Mr.Tanio:
Infrastructure Engineers (IE), a Bowman company is honored to provide our qualifications for On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services. IE has a reputation of meeting the expectations of our clients by employing experienced staff who understand construction management and inspection and have a solid foundation of the inner workings of the municipal office and public works process. Over 90% of our staff have worked for city governments as employees. We believe IE is your best choice to provide the requested services for the following reasons:
Masoud Sepahi, PE, LEED GA, our proposed Project Manager has held various leadership positions in managing a variety of projects for major public works programs. As the City Engineer for the City of Placentia, he was responsible for delivery of many capital projects, and he has first-hand knowledge of the city's standards, municipal codes and the city's current capital improvement programs. Masoud is currently assisting the city with management of the Golden Avenue Bridge and the Crowther Sewer Replacement projects, and he is eager to continue serving the city with the same degree of commitment as he has done over the last seven years.
Masoud is a true advocate of the city and he believes in the city's vision to make this city a better & safer place for the residents and at the same time creating opportunities for businesses to thrive. IE staff exclusively service local agencies and have an extensive history of successfully providing a wide range of services. Our experience minimizes any training for managing CIP projects, which results in cost savings to our clients. We encourage the city to contact our references and confirm our successful track record with each client that we have had the privilege of working for. We are local and our headquarters is minutes from Placentia's city hall. We understand the city is often faced with budget constraints. IE has a history of successfully delivering projects with very limited budgets. We are committed to working with the city to keep your project on time and within budget.
Due to our experience dealing with many complex development projects, we bring fresh, new ideas to solve challenging issues facing any development project. Our staff rises to these occasions by working collaboratively with the city to find sound engineering design solutions. We possess the talent and capabilities to provide the city with the services described in the RFP while maintaining your strict budgeting priorities.
As an officer of the firm, I am authorized to negotiate and contractually bind and extend the terms of our proposal. I acknowledge receipt of all addenda in relation to this RFP and this proposal will remain valid for a period of not less than 90 days from the date of submittal. Masoud Sepahi, will serve as the Project Manager and contact person throughout the evaluation period and will be responsible for the services listed in the RFP.

Executive Summary
Executive Summary
We have reviewed and studied the city's current Capital Improvement Projects and complied an experienced team, with key personnel that have worked on dozens of similar projects. Masoud Sepahi, PE, LEED GA, our proposed Project Manager, will be the single point of contact for the city on this contract. Masoud believes that the most important tool for any successful project is clear and consistent communication throughout the entire project duration. As the City Engineer, Director of Construction Management, Masoud has managed numerous traffic and roadway improvement projects in addition to various complex buildings and facilities construction and renovations. He will communicate regularly with the city and initiate conversations with the contractor on a comprehensive work plan, to ensure the project proceeds on time and on budget.
Our proposed Construction Managers (CMs), Arjan Idnani, Homayoun Behboodi, Hormoz Vahid, Mike Kapanpour and Michael Aminian have many years of experience with various improvements including roadway rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, parks, city facilities, utility installations and many other types of capital projects, which the city plans to construct.
Our CMs will be assisted by our Inspectors; !mad Zureigat, Christopher Koontz, Anselo Ybarra, Miguel Hernandez and Malcom Weatherbie. Our CMs and inspectors have worked together on many other projects and they make an outstanding and responsive team. We have also included Cindy Guerrero to our team to assist the city with any public outreach that may be needed. Cindy will work with the city to establish a positive relationship between the construction team and to keep the residents informed of the city's goals and objectives. Cindy has assisted our clients in this role and she is an important part of our management team. As a common practice, Cindy attends council meetings for all the cities that we serve, to listen and learn about the challenges and the issues on the projects and the community.
Our team is also complemented by Epic Land Solutions, who will be assisting us with right-of-way and property appraisals, Southwest Inspection & Testing for providing deputy inspection services. Southwest was the consultant used on many of the city's utility work associated with private developments and they are familiar with the city's codes and standards. We also have On Point Land Surveying for surveying work and P.A. & Associates for geotechnical engineering. As part of our team, we are introducing Jay Shih, who will be assisting the city with ADA design review and inspection for all ADA improvements. Jay Shih possesses certification in many ICC codes, in addition to being a certified CASp. Our team is also be assisted by our project administrator, Nathan Kirby for handling many of the administrative task involved with management of the submittals, RFIs, payment requests, labor compliance and other important documents related to the grant funding documentations.
As the Director for IE's construction management services, Masoud will intimately oversee and lead our entire team for every task that we will be assigned to by the city over the entire contract duration. Masoud will also be the construction manager for the city's building and facilities projects. Masoud has managed construction on many complex building projects, some of which were very similar to the types and complexity of the ones coming up for the City of Placentia. With this team, we believe the city has all the expertise that are needed for your upcoming capital projects.
The following organizational chart shows the depth and breadth of our team, where we have included staff that bring many years of experience delivering capital projects on time and on budget. We understand that the city will need construction management and inspection services for various types of projects, including, roadway rehabilitation, slurry seal, parks, City Hall renovation & upgrading, and a bridge over the Carbon Canyon on Golden Avenue. For the bridge construction, Masoud has hand selected a construction manager who has managed numerous bridges and overpasses. Michael Amanian is a seasoned bridge expert, who is ready to assist the city with construction of the upcoming bridge project. We have also included Arjan Idnani, who has managed numerous roadway improvement projects, including two major streetscape programs as well as parks and city facilities. Arjan is supported by other construction managers and our seasoned inspectors.

Provide a brief summary of the Prime firm's history and experience providing the requested services on similarly sized and scoped projects.
Since our founding in 1994, IE has been committed to excellence. We stand behind our reputation to provide only the highest level of products and services to the cities we serve. For the past 29 years, our pursuit of excellence has shown us that one way we can be the best for our clients is to offer a broad spectrum of services. IE was established to provide professional engineering and municipal services to cities in Southern California. From the beginning, we have been committed to making a difference in the communities we serve by helping cities maintain and improve their infrastructure and by supporting their capital improvement programs. Our clients continue to see consistency in engineering design protocols, project management practices, staff familiarity, and complete understanding of a project, since we take projects from initial concept design through construction and final acceptance by the City Council. Our staff of professionals have been employees of cities or have been in managing or supporting roles as out -sourced contractors to cities, many of whom have served as city staff for decades. Our team thoroughly understands city operations, budgets, and priorities which allows us to be a strong advocate for the City of Placentia. Because assisting cities is all we do, we know your concerns about schedules, budgets, and keeping change orders to an absolute minimum. We consider these matters in every project that we engineer and oversee. And because we take our clients' projects from preliminary design through construction, we know how to manage and overcome challenges on any type of capital improvement project. We believe IE is the best choice for the City of Placentia because we offer a proven track record of delivering successful projects for many other cities. Within the past two years alone, we have completed projects under Master Services Agreements (MSA's) with the following California cities:
• City of Huntington Park - SB1 Street Enhancement Project FY 20 / 21 (seven streets) • City of Baldwin Park - SB1 Street Improvement and Rehabilitation Project FY18 / 19 (two streets) • City of Baldwin Park - SB1 Fund Street Rehabilitation Project • City of Baldwin Park - SB1, Puente Avenue / Garvey Avenue • City of Baldwin Park -Various Streets FY 17 / 18 (16 streets) • City of Bell Gardens - SB1 Fund Various Street Improvement Project (15 streets) • City of Bell Gardens — Gage Street (three segments)
• City of Hawaiian Gardens — Various Streets (six streets) City of Hawaiian Gardens — SB1 Various Streets, FY 19 / 20 (17 streets) • City of Brea - Miscellaneous Alley and Sewer Projects • City of Lynwood - Los Flores Boulevard Street and Median Island Improvements • City of Manhattan Beach - Sewer and Water Main Replacement Project Include a summary of the firm's experience, if any, with the City of Placentia.
Currently, we are managing two projects for the City of Placentia, the Crowther Sewer Replacement and the Golden Avenue Bridge projects. Masoud is assisting the city with managing both of these projects and he looks for an opportunity to continue serving the city on the upcoming roadway rehabilitation and building renovation projects. 'raj Mansouri of IE is also providing plan checking for the Development Services Department.

Understanding & Approach (cont.)
Construction Management
Construction management starts with "Responsiveness and Clear Communication."To facilitate seamless communication with the city, we have identified Masoud Sepahi, who has served the City of Placentia in the past, and he is very familiar with the city's needs and programs. Masoud will be the main point of contact for the city and the main person overseeing the contract.
Masoud is the Director of Construction Management Services, and he oversees all contracts to ensure full compliance with our commitment to serving our clients. He believes that being responsive to the city's needs and clear lines of communication between the team members is the recipe for success on any project, regardless of size and complexity. Masoud will promote a reporting system that he has used with many other clients, which he will be using for the City of Placentia. As a common practice on every contract, IE will prepare and submit a comprehensive report to the City of Placentia. This executive level report summarizes the status on all the task orders and the projects, including costs, budgets, schedules, key issues and challenges with each project and other executive level reports and charts as requested by the city. Masoud will meet with the city's project manager once a month to go over this report and to learn more about the city's concerns and issues. This reporting structure has served well with other Cities, and we propose to do the same for the City of Placentia at no cost to our clients.
Pre -construction Phase Services
The key to a successful project delivery starts, before the project goes out to bid, therefore, it is paramount for the IE team to work with the city to foresee any issues or challenges that may hinder the project during construction. One of the challenges currently facing most projects is the cost escalation and availability of materials. Other challenges include utility conflicts and unforeseen field conditions. The following summarizes the various ways that we can tackle each potential issue during the Pre -construction phase, based on our current and past experiences with similar types of projects:
• Learning City's needs - After a thorough review of all the project information and contract documents, IE will arrange for a kick-off meeting with city staff, the designers, and other stakeholders to learn more about the project background and any particulars on the project that the PM / CM team should know about. Our goal is to learn as much as possible from key stakeholders and the status of the funding, in addition to meeting key city staff and introducing the IE team. In our experience, coordination with various city staff and city departments in addition to the outside influencers is key to a successful start.
• ADA & Energy Compliance - Some of the other reviews by the IE team during the pre -construction phase will include evaluation of the project scope to see if the city will desire to update and repair such items as ADA curb ramps, ADA & Cal Green compliance, curb / gutter and sidewalk evaluation and repairs, energy audits, solar power, EV charging stations, etc. Working on similar projects, we have found that inclusion of such items will benefit the city tremendously.
We understand that the city will be adopting a new ADA Transition Plan and our team has assisted other city's with implementing these plans in the most efficient and cost effective way.
• Cost Estimating - IE will review the concept plans and the current budgets to assist the city with determination of accurate budgets to be used for the city's CIP program. Our team has a robust database of current bids which can be used in determining cost for various types of public improvement projects. We have established these estimates based on the latest unit pricing and bids received on other recent projects in the southern California region. IE will compare these estimates against the city's standing budget and schedule and will make recommendations for adjusting costs and budgets if necessary.
Our certified CASp expert Jay
Shih will ensure full compliance
with the latest ADA provisions.
Other inspection activities include
conducting field construction
employee interviews to comply
with Equal Employment
Opportunity Law and Davis Bacon
Act.
Infrastructure Engineers, a Bowman company I On -Call Construction Management & Inspection I January30, 2024 18
Understanding & Approach (cont.)
• Right-of-way - It is critical to identify and resolve any right-of-way issues that may exist on any type of CIP projects. Prior to starting construction, there are many ways to determine if there are any ROW issues on projects, starting with a review of available as -built plans, County maps, GIS maps, title report search and conducting a boundary / property survey of the properties in question. IE's subconsultant team Epic Land Solutions can assist the city during the pre -construction phase to identify any potential issues on the property boundaries and draw the appropriate legal documents, such as easements, dedications, and Lot line adjustments to resolve any potential legal issues. • Agency Coordination - IE team will Identify High -Risk Locations (schools, businesses, high -density residential areas, etc.),Trash Pickup and Street Sweeping Schedules, and coordination with major stakeholders, such as Caltrans, OCTA, neighboring cities, OCFC, etc. for informing them of the projects and to receive their input on the plans. We will also assist with preparation of cooperative agreements and license agreements between the city and outside agencies, when it's necessary.
• Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA / QC) -There are several key elements when reviewing the bid documents.
Our goal has always been to make the plans and specifications and all the attachments clear to understand and to remove any discrepancies that might exist in the documents prior to bidding. As part of our Red -team QA / QC review, we will make sure that the review is conducted by people that have expertise and are licensed and qualified to perform reviews for each trade.These reviews also include constructability and value engineering reviews, to ensure that all details are correctly cross-referenced and are clear to read and understand. Other constructability items include identification of long -lead components on the project, ROW issues, utility verifications, verification of unit prices and quantities.
• Utility Conflicts - Regarding utility conflicts, it is very important to identify and show all the existing utilities on the contract documents and to include provisions in the Contract for the contractor to conduct potholing. It is also important to make sure that the Contractor conducts this potholing in advance of start of any excavation work. IE team has introduced various safeguards for dealing with unforeseen utilities that the contractor may encounter during construction.
• Bid & Award - We are glad to see that the city is utilizing the online Planetbids for managing the bidding and award process. This system has worked very well in the past on many other projects, ensuring that all questions, addenda, and project information are received quickly and accurately. This system also reduces the chances for information getting lost or not delivered to potential bidders.
• Bid Review - After bids are received, IE will review and evaluate bids for accuracy and responsiveness, based on the directions given in the Instruction to Bidders.This review will include checking the entire bid, to ensure that all forms have been signed, valid and proper bid -bonds are included, there are no math errors, all the forms have been completed, sub -contractors have been listed with each percent share of the work identified, references have been listed and to make sure that all the licenses and credentials have been secured.
Construction Phase Services - Resource Allocation
Our approach for managing each project will be to collaborate and coordinate our activities with the city's project manager in providing as -needed services and at the same time, introduce many of the lessons learned from our past projects.
Prior to start of any construction project and / or activity, IE will meet with the city to formulate a work plan and a resource allocation matrix for each individual project to build a robust team to administer and manage construction contracts, in accordance with the city's needs and budget. IE will also establish the individual We utilize an electronic project
management system that
will allow seamless transfer of
information between the project
team, including architects,
engineers, construction
management team and the
contractor.

needs of the project for other necessary services, such as field survey, geotechnical investigations, materials testing, SWPPP, NPDES Permitting and monitoring, environmental investigations and testing, deputy inspections and other specialty items as required.
• Filing Systems - In collaboration with the city, IE will set up an electronic filing system, to address all funding requirements by outside agencies, such as Federal, State, County and OCTA for securing grants and outside fundings.
IE will ensure to follow all grants funding requirements by following the latest guidelines for various programs, through the Caltrans' LAPM, County's SBDG and other grants managed by OCTA. We are now using the C -MIS on all of our construction projects and we will be more than happy to utilize this system on all of the Placentia Projects. C -MIS allows seamless exchange of information between all parties involved in construction activities in real time and has worked very well for our team members, allowing them to exchange information more rapidly and effectively. • Submittals and Schedules - IE will review and process contractor's submittals by first preparing a submittal -list for each individual contract. All submittals and deliverables that are required by the contract will be logged through the IE's project management system and routed to the project's architect and engineers for review and approval. As a standard practice, IE will meet with the city prior to bidding, to learn more about the city's requirements for purchasing equipment compatible with the items currently being used. We will also ensure that proper warranties are stipulated for certain items per the city's needs to ensure longevity of these systems over the long haul. Schedule: IE will prepare and submit to contractor a "Weekly Statement of Calendar / Working Days" report to ensure that the Contractor is fully aware of the schedule and the critical path activities, that may be in jeopardy. We have trained our inspectors to be informed of the latest construction techniques, traffic control rules and regulations, utility investigations and monitoring, and quality assurance requirements for each type of public improvement project. • Pre -Construction Meeting - IE will arrange and conduct pre -construction meetings with the Contractors, designers, inspectors and other key stakeholders. We will ensure to invite all city personnel that may be involved with the project, in addition to representatives from regulatory agencies that may be involved with permitting and grant funding. • Inspection and Field Activities - Daily construction logs shall be provided for the city's review on IE's web -based virtual project management software. The project inspector will review construction progress schedules on a regular basis to verify that the project is on schedule and on track with project milestones. Material Testing: IE's inspector will coordinate the materials testing requirements with the contractor and if necessary, we will facilitate an independent Quality Assurance Program, based on project needs. As part of our team, we have included P.A. & Associates and Southwest Inspection &Testing to provide all of the testing requirements on any of the city's projects. Daily Logs: Our daily logs have been tested and used on many other projects and are available real-time, to be viewed by any of the team members and the city. Our inspectors have been trained to monitor various contract compliance provisions, as required by the city and outside funding agencies. Our inspectors will ensure that the contractor complies with the prevailing wages rules, and they will conduct all the necessary tasks including special traffic safety, access, job site protection for safety, SWPPP and NPDES monitoring, CASp certification and specialty inspection, labor compliance postings and any other special necessities, required by the Contract. IE will prepare and submit to contractor a "Weekly Statement of Calendar / Working Days" report to ensure that the contractor is fully aware of the schedule and the critical path activities. Our daily logs have been tested and used on many other projects and are stored electronically on the project management system, to be viewed by any of the project management team members and the city. Our inspectors have been trained to monitor various contract compliance provisions including traffic safety and access issues, job site protection for safety, SWPPP and NPDES monitoring, CASp certification and inspection, labor compliance postings and any other special requirements by the contract and outside grant funding sources following the Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM).

Understanding & Approach (cont.)
• Traffic: IE inspectors will also make sure that the contractor is following all the traffic coordination and permitting. We will coordinate with the contractor to make sure proper access to adjacent businesses / residents has been provided during the duration of construction. Provide inspection of street lighting, traffic control, channelization, and all other traffic - related work.
• ADA Compliance - We have found that when it comes to ADA compliance, having a certified CASp inspector will help tremendously with compliance.The CASp inspection starts with a review of the plans to make sure that the design meets the latest ADA and CBC and UBC. We have found that compliance with the latest codes should be built into the design and carried over to construction. As part of our team, Jay Shih will provide ADA review and inspection prior to bid and during construction. Jay holds multiple certifications in addition to being a CASp certified. • Storm Water - Storm water protection compliance with the city's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and requirements will be monitored daily. Our expertise also includes NPDES and MS4 permitting, inspection and compliance, design of infiltration and detention basin, sewer lift station, wastewater collection systems and reclaimed water systems. As part of our extensive offering of municipal services, we provide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) compliance, investigation, and permitting assistance, and staff training - either as part of our typical plan check and construction inspection services or as a separate program. Our construction managers and inspectors are fully aware of the SWPPP compliance requirements, and they have assisted with NPDES inspection for Cities of Baldwin Park, Bell Garden, Calexico, Lynwood, Montebello and South Gate.
• Health and Safety - We at IE take safety very seriously. We know that even one incident on the project will taint the project. As a standard practice, at the beginning of each meeting, we draw attention to a safety moment. This is to ensure that all parties and the construction team make safety on the job a priority. We believe that safety must be built into the culture of the construction team, and it must be the underlying condition for conducting any type of construction work. IE will make sure that the latest CAL -OSHA provisions have been incorporated into the contract documents and we will monitor the job daily to ensure that all safety precautions have been placed at the job site every day. At the pre - construction meetings, IE will ask to see the Contractor's Health and Safety plan and makes sure that a Safety Offices has been identified by the Contractor, in addition to the sub -contractors. At the onset of the project, and before, construction starts. IE will implement job safety procedures in compliance with CAL -OSHA requirements and will continuously monitor the contractor's compliance with the established safety programs. All our construction managers and inspectors have completed the OSHA 30 hour training and stary updated with the current OSHA regulations. • Quality Control and Materials Testing - Quality Control must be built into the Contract Documents. In addition to the requirements by the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), which sets the minimum requirements for controlling the quality at the job site, IE will evaluate and determine individual needs of the projects for a robust QA / QC program. These provisions will need to be written into the contract documents, so that the contractors provide an adequate testing program, necessary for meeting the requirements of the project. As part of our monthly reporting, a section will be dedicated to the QA / QC program, summarizing the testing and a review of the contractor's performance, on a regular basis. As part of our team, we have included PA & Associates for Geotechnical Engineering and Southwest Inspection &Testing for Deputy Inspection services. This team is fully equipped and ready to assist with any kind of materials and quality testing required for managing projects, from roadway rehabilitation to facility and building renovations, as required. Deputy Inspection: As part of our team, Southwest Inspection &Testing will be providing us with all as needed specialty inspections that require a Deputy inspector. Southwest Inspection &Testing has been a key player in providing specialty inspection services in the Southern California region and they are readily available to provide every type of deputy inspection that is required including but not limited to High Strength Concrete, Masonry, Structural Infrastructure Engineers, a Bowman company I On -Call Construction Management & Inspection I January30, 2024 21
Understanding & Approach (cont.)
Rebars, DSA, Soil Tabulation, Stressing, and other specialty deputy inspection services.They have provided these services for many cities in the Orange County region.
Southwest Inspection &Testing currently employs over 100 employees including 65 Field Special Inspectors, 10 Clerical, 6 Engineers, 15 Laboratory / Soils Technicians and 4 Geologists. Southwest's personnel are strongly aware of the job -site need for speed, quick response, constant communication and the need to work with the parties involved.
Southwest's laboratory is one of the top materials testing laboratories in Southern California. It holds certifications and accreditations with numerous major approvals, accreditation agencies - state and nationwide. Following is the list of agencies that they are currently approved by:
Caltrans (Bridge and Roadway Work).
FACE (Floor Flatness Work).

AMRL (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
CCRL (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
OSHPD (Hospital Work).
DSA (LEA #90; School, Community College Work).
ICC (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
City of Los Angeles (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
City of San Diego (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
IAS (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work).
US Green Building Council (Private, Public and Local Jurisdiction Work) - Tensile Test and Bend Test of Reinforcing Steel bars.
Post -Construction Services - IE will start planning on project close-out activities weeks before the completion of the project.
This is to ensure that the contractor is aware of the city's expectations for taking all necessary the steps and to allow ample time for any type of commissioning, testing and balancing that may be required. In addition, the project may need staff training, which requires advanced planning.The close-out activities will include final inspection / walk through with the city staff, maintenance / service personnel and the project's architect / design consultant. IE will issue a preliminary punch - list to put the contractor on notice of any outstanding item, followed by a final punch list, including schedule for punch list completion. IE will monitor the repairs and follow through with the contractor, until all items on the punch list are 100% complete. IE will gather and transmit all required guarantees, certifications, affidavits, leases, easement deeds, operating & maintenance manuals, warranties, and other documents as stipulated in contract documents for submittal to the city.
IE will review and process contractor's final payment request and release of retention, in addition to assisting the city with preparation and filing of Notice of Completion. IE will organize and deliver all project documents and files, in addition to the grant funding forms and ledgers to the city for future use. All reports, daily logs and other related construction documents will be submitted to the city through IE's web -based system.

Scope of Work
Scope of Work
The scope of work for providing construction management and inspection services includes all the necessary efforts for the IE team to assist the city manage and complete a construction project on time and on budget. As it was mentioned in our approach to delivery of services, successful delivery of CM / Inspection services, starts before the award of a construction contract. Our scope of services will include a comprehensive review of the plans and specifications to make sure that there are no discrepancies in the bid documents and to apply our many years of experiences and lessons learned to work with the design team and the city staff to produce the best possible bid package. We will accomplish this by applying many of the techniques and lessons learned on other similar projects in the past. Our project manager Masoud has created a lesson - learned matrix, while working for the City of Placentia, LA Metro and the City of Los Angeles, and he will be applying these lessons to every project that we will take on behalf of the city. We understand that every project is unique and requires a different approach, however, the process for taking a project, from design to bid / award and construction completion remains the same. The following is a description of various tasks involved with a typical construction project under the city's rules and general practices:
Pre -construction Phase
• City staff and IE discuss the scope of services.
• IE submits a fee proposal to the city for review.
City staff and IE negotiate a fee proposal based on the project's schedule and budget.
City staff prepares the staff report for awarding a contract by the City Council if a contract has not yet been awarded. In some cases, the city may elect to award a contract after an On -call list has been established.
IE team will conduct a formal constructability review, including a review of the cost estimates and unit price quantities.
IE Team will also visit the jobsite to ensure that the plans include all the necessary bid items and other items of the work, which may have been overlooked.
In case, the cost estimates exceed the project budget, IE will work with the city to adjust scope to meet the desired cost and budget.
IE will review the construction schedule, the long -lead items on the project and will advise the city to make adjustments to the project schedule and durations if necessary.
IE will work with the city staff to finalize the Bid Package and to advertise the project on Planet Bids. IE will be involved during the questions and answers period, assisting to provide responses to the questions from the contractors bidding on the project.
IE will assist the city to prepare any addenda to the Bid Documents, when necessary.
IE will assist the city with reviewing and making recommendations for awarding the contract to the lowest, responsive & responsible contractor, after conducting a complete review of the bids, checking references, bonds, insurance and all other bidding requirements.
IE will assist the city to prepare the Agenda Report for the City Council for awarding a construction contract.
IE will work with the Contractor to obtain all necessary bonds and insurance documents and will obtain signed copies of the construction agreement from all parties.
Infrastructure Engineers, a Bowman company I On -Call Construction Management & Inspection I January30, 2024 23
Scope of Work (cont.)
Construction Phase
Once, all documents have been signed and processed, IE will arrange for a pre -construction meeting with all parties involved with the project, including the contractor representatives, designers, city staff and others. The CIP includes projects outside of the Public Works Department, in which case, IE staff will work with other departments, such as Community Services, Police Department and the Fire Department. IE is fully aware of the importance of communicating and coordinating construction work with all stakeholders, and to include key participants from each department.
IE will conduct the pre -construction meeting and will prepare the minutes for the meeting. IE will ensure that the contractor is aware of the key issues on the project, such as Traffic, Safety, Construction Noise and Dust Control Impact, outreach to the residents and businesses, Schedule, Phasing and the city's expectations.
After the NTP has been awarded, IE's construction manager and inspector will arrange weekly construction progress meetings to evaluate and monitor the Contractor's performance on quality and conformance with the plans and specifications.
IE will prepare and submit to contractor a "Weekly Statement of Calendar / Working Days" report to ensure that the contractor is fully aware of the schedule and the critical path activities.
Our daily logs have been tested and used on many other projects and are stored electronically on the project management system, to be viewed by any of the project management team members and the city.
IE utilizes C -MIS on every construction project, and we intend to use this electronic project management system for the City of Placentia's projects. All RFIs, Submittals, Correspondences will be handled through this system. This system allows for a seamless exchange of information between key participants without any delays in real time. The city will also have access to daily logs and all the correspondences through this system.
IE staff will conduct labor compliance and regulatory reporting, on a daily basis. IE will ensure that the Contractor complies with the grant funding requirements, for posting and submitting DIR reports, in addition to the Certified Payroll reports.
IE will manage and resolve all potential claims, by investigating and responding to the Contractor's questions and inquiries rapidly. Claims, will be discuss in our weekly progress reports and resolved. In case, there are claims that have merit, IE will prepare all the necessary Change Order Documents and works with the city staff to process the Change Orders.
IE will review and work with the Contractor to ensure accuracy on every pay request prior to submitting them to the city for processing.
As the end of the project approaches, IE will work with the Contractor to start a preliminary punch list, in addition to arranging for testing / balancing, commissioning, and collecting all the necessary Maintenance / Operations manuals.
IE will ensure that the Contractor completes the project on time, by monitoring and enforcing the project delivery schedule. In case, the project is delayed, IE will work with the Contractor on finding solutions, to recover and complete the project on time.
IE will process the final change orders, pay item adjustments and prepare the final pay application for the city's review and approval.
Infrastructure Engineers, a Bowman company I On -Call Construction Management & Inspection I January30, 2024 24
Scope of Work (cont.)
Project Completion Phase
Upon approval of all work by the Contractor, IE will issue the notice of Substantial Completion, to start the one-year warranty period and to accept the project.
Upon acceptance of the contract completion, IE will prepare the Notice of Completion and make recommendation for City Council to approve the completion of the project.
IE will ensure that there are no Stop Work Notices or Mechanics Liens filed against the project.
IE will assist the city with any claims that may remain on the project, but following up and keeping all documentation to share with the city and the City Attorney.
IE will collect and deliver, all project information and documents to the city.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of this Agreement, based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party, is materially impaired, which determination made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.
6.25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

"written contract requiring insurance" to include as
an additiona I insured on this Coverage Part, but:
a. Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal injury"; and
b. If, and only to the extent that, the injury or
damage is caused by acts or omissions of
you or your subcontractor in the performance
of "your work" to which the "written contract
requiring insurance" applies. The person or
organization does not qualify as an additional
insured with respect to the independent acts
or omissions of such person or organization .
The insurance prov ided to such additional insured
is limited as follows:
c. In the event that the Limits of Insurance of
this Coverage Part shown in the Declarations
exceed the limits of liability required by the
"written contract requiring insurance", the in-
surance provided to the additional insured
shall be li mited to the limits of liability required
by that "written contract requiring insurance".

ing of or failure to render any "professional

jury" or "property damage" caused by "your

ance provided to the additional insured ap-
plies only to such "bodily injury" or "property

riod of time for which the "written contract re-
quiring insurance" requires you to provide

tional insured for a loss we cover. However, if you
specifically agree in the "written contract requiring
insurance" that this insurance provided to the ad-
ditional insured under this Coverage Part must
apply on a primary basis or a primary and non-
contributory basis, this insurance is primary to
"other insurance" available to the additional in-
sured which covers that person or organization as
a named insured for such loss, and we will not
share with that "other insurance". But this insur-
ance provided to the additional insured still is ex-
cess over any valid and collectible "other insur-
ance", whether primary, excess, contingent or on

insured when that person or organization is an
additiona I insured under any "other insurance".

erwise comply with all policy conditions.

fense and indemnity of any claim or "suit" to

ance available to the additional insured which

PROPOSAL Inspection Services for the City of Placentia
F. UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH
In order to lead a successful program, the specifics of multiple projects must be coordinated simultaneously.
We understand that the City has a great task in managing its Capital Improvement Program. We collaborate with the City and assist to ensure that all considerations have been made by the Designer when we are tasked with managing a project during construction. For instance, we will ensure that required permits are applied for with the proper duration of time and the specifications of each contract are in compliance with funding requirements to ensure the City will receive maximum reimbursements. As multiple projects may be occurring throughout the City simultaneously, coordination between projects can present issues such as traffic control conflicts. We will make sure that the schedules, traffic plans, permits and any other possible overlapping aspects of simultaneous projects are cohesive and do not disrupt the individual project schedules.
Methodology
Quality construction does not just happen, it is the result of the successful alliance between the City, designer, contractor, and construction manager. Berg's approach to contract administration promotes teamwork and cooperation, understanding that a project's success depends on the success of each party. We have seen proof that continuous and effective communication is vital to the success of all projects, and we promote this by:
✓
Establishing clear lines of communication
Resolving issues at the lowest possible level and creating guidelines for escalating issues
✓ Timely responses to RFIs and submittals
✓ Avoiding surprises and contentious correspondence
✓ Being positive and cooperative
We believe in a "no surprises" approach to communications where we keep all stakeholders well informed of project status and discuss and resolve issues as they evolve.
We ensure that contract compliance occurs throughout the project by becoming thoroughly familiar with the contract and providing recommendations before construction begins. We make certain that both the contractor and our CM team are in compliance throughout construction with on -going evaluation through site visits, internal audits, and continual review of the contract documents.
Our QA/QC program is rooted in three fundamentals that we practice in every aspect of the project: communication, documentation, and evaluation. As illustrated in the graphic, we use these core tenants to avoid and/or mitigate conflict, changes, or claims.
Approach
BergCM will keep the City updated on the progress of the work with a weekly status report that will be a quickly digestible dashboard of work completed and work anticipated during the following week, outstanding RFI's or RFC's, Change Orders to date, total budget expended to date and amount remaining, schedule adherence confirmation and several key photos that represent the week's Berg & Associates Inc.

progress. Additionally, the City can access the current project logs and their associated documents at any time via our online project portal.
Our proposed construction managers and administrative staff have extensive experience implementing standards and specifications including: Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, the Caltrans MUTCD for traffic control, Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures; OSHA safety, the Greenbook, Uniform Building Codes Standard Plans for Public Works Construction and local regulations and standards.
We have an impressive track record of successful coordination with Caltrans, the California Department of Fish and Game and the US Forest Wildlife Service, the Air Quality Management District (AQMD), and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as well as most of the gas, electrical, telecommunications, and cable providers in the region.
APPROACH TO POTENTIAL SPECIAL ISSUES
Potential Special Issue/Risk
1) Traffic Control: Detours & Closures —
Traffic control is the biggest concern for public
safety when working on street improvement
projects. It may be that PCMS boards are faulty,
signs and delineators are moved, or the
Contractor slips out of compliance with the
approved TCP.
2) Hazardous Material: Handling and
Disposal - Often, it may be the case that an ADL
Report is not provided, bid items are unclear, or
plans and specifications do not match up.
3) Utility Relocations in Plans/Specs — Utility
relocations identified in the specifications with
language identifying working days durations.
However, for each of these relocations, the plans
show more work than the specifications.
BergCM Mitigation Approach
Part of the CM support team's task is to ensure all the signage is in place at all times and closely monitored
during the closures. Our team is available to the City
24/7 for calls, coordination and emergency traffic
control monitoring. We proactively monitor the site
to avoid issues, but things can always come up, which
is why we stay available with LOCAL staff.
Our team will conduct a review of the Environmental
Mitigation sheet and will identify all items known to
exist in the Project. Review of the levels and available handling requirements from the Specifications will
be identified for attention during the project. Our
team will track the issues and ensure hazardous
material plans will be identified in the Submittal Log
for submission and review.
A discrepancy between the plans and specs,
especially for utility work, opens an opportunity for
the Contractor claim a delay. BergCM will track of
Utility work schedules by preparing a utility matrix at the start of the project.
Coordination with Utility Companies
The BergCM team has exactly the experience,
proactive approach, and dedication needed to
address any utility construction requiredfor any
City projects. We have the experience working
directly with utilities companies to establish
relocation schedules, develop a plan, and
recommend language for additional sections for
the Special Provisions to address issues and
constraints. This represents a crucial part of the
Berg & Associates Inc.

constructability review process. The BergCM team is familiar working with SCE, SCG, MWD, communication, and water companies. Nearly all of our project involve utility coordination or relocations. Most recently, we assisted the City of West Hollywood with SCE undergrounding.
Caltrans Oversight & Standards
Berg has been involved with Caltrans projects since the company was founded. We have held On -Call contracts with Caltrans District 7, managed projects in the Caltrans ROW, and coordinated with Caltrans for numerous projects that use LAPM and require Caltrans oversight. Our proposed PM/Sr. RE, Dave Smith, PE, QSD, managed the Raymond Avenue Grade Separation in Orange County which required coordination with Caltrans District 12. Dave is also currently coordinating with District 12 and the City of Santa Ana to relocate three water features under the SR -55 prior to the SR -55 widening. Our whole team is familiar with the Caltrans RE Manual, LAPM methods, and Caltrans Standard Plans and Standard Specifications.
Project Schedule
Our team maintains successful project schedules through planning and analysis. Our teams can conduct an in-depth constructability review and a subsequent assessment of the contractor's baseline schedule.
Depending on the order of operations, we can help with the bid process and give our recommendations for the bid package or, if the project is already out to bid, we can use our independent constructability review to establish milestones with the contractor during pre -construction meetings. Our team is accomplished at identifying potential delays and mitigating them before they occur such as long -lead items, TCEs, and permit dates. We establish a risk register that we prepare prior to construction and update throughout construction so that we can track potential risks and avoid claims.
Throughout the duration of the project, BergCM will review and approve the contractor's schedule using the Critical Path and Work Breakdown method. It is recommended that an approved monthly schedule or if necessary, a recovery schedule is required from the contractor in order for BergCM to authorize monthly payment applications to the City. During intensive times of the project construction, a two or three week lookahead schedule may be required to stay on top of all work components. The contractor's schedule should be loaded with submittal submission dates, in addition to the contractor providing a submittal list at the start of the project.
Project Budget
Typically, schedule will drive cost. Any re -do work wastes both time and money. Therefore, we will be diligent to complete tasks within the allotted and agreed time and budget. With the monthly schedule review, we will also monitor budget, planned vs. actuals, and provide cost forecasts. We will manage on - call as needed services and subconsultants judiciously by clearly identifying scope and apportioning task orders incrementally.

G. SCOPE OF WORK
Collaborating with City staff to fully understand project needs, we are able to provide the right staff for the project. We ensure that contract compliance occurs throughout the project by becoming thoroughly familiar with the contract and providing recommendations before construction begins. We ensure that both the contractor and our team are in compliance throughout construction with our evaluation of project delivery through site visits, internal audits, and continual review of the contract documents.
Bid Analysis
We can attend the pre -bid meeting with interested contractors and work with your team to respond to inquiries that are submitted in writing and will ensure timely responses are issued via addendums prior to bid close. Berg can perform a bid evaluation which include a thorough bid comparison of each bid item submitted by every bidder vs. the engineer's estimate which enables us to quickly identify bid item(s) with a significant cost disparity. We can then zoom in on those as a team and root out any error before a contract with the successful low bidder is executed. Additionally, we carefully review the low bidder's entire bid submission and confirm that their license, insurance and bonding are present and in effect, check all references and carefully document the findings, in addition to checking off all the boxes that every form is completely and accurately submitted.
Pre -Construction Services
Once BergCM is selected for a project task order, we immediately set up project controls including online and fully accessible documentation portals and project logs, organized per City and Caltrans requirements in accordance with the LAPM.
Constructability Reviews If desired by the City in advance of project bidding, we can utilize our many experts to perform a thorough constructability review of the plans and specs with a set of fresh, well - trained eyes to spot any potential concerns that could lead to a project cost increase. We not only discover potential issues but work in tandem with your team to develop solutions while keeping our eye on the clock to put the project out to bid. There are a multitude of factors at play when looking for potential cost impacts, and we have decades of experience with discovering plan oversights, cost estimate concerns, missing clarifications in the general conditions and special provisions, and incorrect calendar days/project timeline estimation. All of these can impact the project bottom line cost, and for what you invest in Berg to perform constructability, the City will benefit many times over in problems averted.
Our detailed constructability review log is the basis we work from with your team to share items of concern, assigning responsibility and potential cost or time impact and we follow through with the team until all items of concern are addressed and agreed upon. Should we begin at a later stage, we will then set up risk management procedures including creating a risk register that will be our team's internal tracking tool for possible issues that may arise following bidding of the project.
Site Visits Prior to the contractor mobilizing on site, Berg will take both aerial photos by our drone pilots and ground photos by the Construction Manager to document the pre-existing conditions of the project, begin review of the first submittals including the contractor's safety program, establish labor compliance protocols.
Pre -Construction Meeting
After the contract has been executed with the successful low bidder by the City, BergCM will initiate the pre -construction meeting and will conduct it with all parties including City personnel, the contractor, designer, utilities, public safety agencies, transit services and stakeholders. We will request that the contractor submit their project Master Schedule in advance of this meeting for our review and anticipate establishing the Notice To Proceed with the team during the pre -construction meeting. We will review all Berg & Associates Inc.

project scopes of work that affect the utility agencies and will address and resolve any potential conflicts, while maintaining communication with utility parties throughout the project to ensure their needs are addressed. Moving forward, BergCM will oversee bi-weekly meetings with the contractor and parties of interest, in addition to any necessary field meetings and will author and distribute meeting agendas and minutes.
General Construction Administration
BergCM routinely utilizes the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual directory for file classification and excel spreadsheets for logging project activity. The team has effectively used the following programs to maintain project files:
• Expedition
• Procore
• MS Project
• E2020
• Airtable & Dropbox
• Sharepoint
• Bluebeam
• OneDrive
Berg is adept at customizing forms and logs to provide an integrated searchable system for tracking, monitoring and communicating construction management activities and reports, project correspondence, project progress and expenditures.
Our construction managers and administrative staff will maintain daily job dairies, drawing logs, monthly reports, description of work completed, work forecast, cost forecast, and change orders completed and pending. They will provide a detailed daily report that includes a summary of daily activities, RFI responses, submittal reviews, work conducted, meetings conducted and/or coordinated and any other pertinent information of the day. They will track all correspondence during the course of project work, receive all project documents, and will "date stamp" confirmation of receipt. Recording the date received, transmitted, and returned is essential to good document management. All documents will be scanned, filed, and managed electronically.
Our weekly or monthly reports, depending on the scale of the project, will contain a construction progress status update to provide you with a management level overview of construction progress and issues. In each case, we address how we are proceeding to resolve issues. Weekly reports contain "look -ahead" schedules, list of meetings, a summary of work activities, and schedule updates from the week. These reports are very important for monitoring the contractor's schedule and having a detailed look into each week of the project including:
• Total workdays, weather and manpower statistics
• Status of potential changes and change orders
• Representative progress photos
Submittals & RFI Review/Processing
BergCM will review and facilitate approval of shop drawings by working with the appropriate design consultants, in addition to all material submittals. We review and respond to Requests For Information, and thoughtfully ensure that when RFI's lead to potential changes, they are justified, cost- and time - appropriate, and are answered promptly. We consult with City staff prior to authorizing any cost or time increase, with a thorough explanation as to the essential nature.
Change Order Review
A cost/price analysis will be developed and shared with the contractor after reviewing their cost proposal for the associated potential change. We work to engage the contractor into a discussion to negotiate a fair price so both parties can agree. It is important to prepare, negotiate, and process change orders in a time Berg & Associates Inc.

frame that avoids delay and monetary impacts to the contractor. To manage timely execution of changes, we utilize our change management tracking log to follow a project change from its root document (RFI, design revision, or an unknown variable) to its ultimate result, whether that be a change order or another form of resolution. We strive to negotiate lump sum change orders with an agreement from the contractor that they will waive claims. Our Scheduler/Claims Support, Charlie Fornelli, will make recommendations on the pros and cons of paying a negotiated impact cost as a means of obtaining a waiver of claims.
Safety
Our inspectors monitor the project for safety concerns
every minute of the day, and will not let an unsafe
practice be continued. We review the contractor's health and safety plan for completeness and are always mindful of the public's safety by ensuring good housekeeping by the contractor.
Progress Payments
Project progress payments will be swiftly processed by
BergCM for submission to the City. Quantities and
percentages will be verified on site and BergCM may
require the contractor to adjust their percentage should our observations indicate to do so. Retention of 5% will be withheld with each progress payment and Berg will
advise the City if additional funds should be withheld, such as in the case of a discovered and documented labor compliance underpayment to workers. BergCM is motivated to expedite payment of contractor's invoices as this demonstrates our respect for the contractor's fluidity of operations and emphasizes a partnering spirit.
BergCM has hosted lunches with the
Contractor to reward safe working
conditions & practices.
Materials Testing
Our team is knowledgeable of the Materials Testing frequency required, types of tests required and the right time to schedule tests with our subcontractor, Ninyo & Moore. We will monitor the contractor's schedule to anticipate when such services will be needed. Our team will confirm that all test results are in compliance with the plans and specifications of the project and the results are subsequently filed and logged in the project record system.
Inspections
Once the construction begins, our inspectors are highly communicative, approachable yet firm, and bring watchful eyes during every hour the contractor is working. Our inspectors reflect their full daily observations in a timely manner in their detailed daily reports along with project photos. They are well versed on the projects plans and specifications, City standards and the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Our inspectors do not direct the work, but they will call out an inappropriate construction activity per the plans and specs and will issue a Non -Compliance Report (NCR) which is logged and requires correction by the contractor. Inspectors will advise on field measurements and legitimacy for extra work/change orders, attend project meetings and will participate in final inspections and assist in generating the final punch list.

outreach management for all affected by the construction in order to keep them informed of construction activities in advance. Our inspectors are excellent listeners when approached by concerned citizens or the traveling public, and will elevate a concern when necessary, by taking the issue to the Resident Engineer who if deemed crucial, will consult with the City. We keep the public safe and their access prioritized while ensuring the contractor does not deviate from the approved schedule.

We document details
of potholing activity
by maintaining a
Pothole Log, as
shown above. Each
line item is linked to
the associated photo
of the pothole.
Daily reports are one tool to make certain that all pertinent information is gathered, including:
• Climate conditions and their effect, if any, on work activities • Number of workers by trades and subcontractor, including shift work • Material and equipment
• Construction activities by trade and location
• Special inspections
• Deficient or repeated work
• Observations of work completed
• Interesting or unusual occurrences
• Any work -related, off -site activity
• Work -related discussions or correspondence
• Visitors to the site
In addition, we compile an extensive photographic record of the project —showing the existing condition of the area prior to the start of construction, regular project progress and the final as -built condition prior to covering up and at completion. We index photographs by date and by specific issue, as appropriate, for easy identification. We can provide videos, still photography and aerial drone shots. Progress and as -built photos will be regularly posted in Procore and can be accessed by City staff for reference throughout the course of the project.
Claims
We manage the claims avoidance process by monitoring contract changes and potential claims, processing and implementing all change orders, and making recommendations for actions to take regarding particular claims. Working with an approved realistic baseline schedule is important to mitigate delay claims. To avoid any public claim, such as a trip -and -fall, we verify the contractor is following its safety plan, we photographically document the field conditions frequently, and we ensure that there is a safe pedestrian access plan in place. This is specifically important within school zones. If a claim arises, we can easily research the conditions before and after an alleged incident. Similarly, it is important to have evidence of proper traffic control in place, should there be a vehicular incident.

Prevailing Wage & Labor Compliance
BergCM is well -versed in State and Federal labor compliance regulations including prevailing wage requirements, use of apprentices and Davis -Bacon. We have a company history of managing public works projects that utilize Federal Aid, and we understand the requirements and regulations that apply to govern construction. We are deeply familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance process and the Construction (RE) Manual, which we utilize on the majority of our projects, and are experienced with OCFCD encroachment permits.
Project Closeout
Project Closeout is continuously planned for throughout construction. As -Built drawings are compiled over the course of the work and reviewed, and documentation is maintained so that there are no loose threads at project completion. Berg will conduct the pre -final inspection with the team and will develop the punch list items for completion, oversee the commissioning of building systems, develop a list of operation and maintenance (O & M) manuals for correctness, and ensure that all warranty documents, O & M manuals, attic stock and keys are turned over to City staff.
Berg can conduct O & M training to City personnel; we find it is successful to make videos of this training for future ease of reference. Following completion of the work, Berg will focus on closeout of the contractor's final pay estimate and request for retention release, and will request/review/approve closeout certified payroll documentation. Berg will assist the City to compose and file the Notice of Completion which will be provided to the Contractor to enable them to close out their bonding and insurance for the project. Berg will prepare final reports, close out all unresolved issues, assist the City with Caltrans audit (if needed), furnish electronic files of As -Built drawings, in addition to an electronic project files to the City.
Community Outreach
As an additional service option, BergCM provides a turn -key, in- house public outreach services on federally -funded projects of similar size and nature to the City of Huntington Beach's project.
Our Public Outreach Manager, Jenelle Saunders, is the program manager for our public outreach services. Our outreach
professionals attend weekly progress meetings and coordinate with the CM and inspection staff to provide real-time and accurate schedules to the Public during construction. Some of the tools we implement to do this successfully include:

Federal Requirements
Berg routinely manages public works projects that utilize Federal Aid, and we understand the requirements and
regulations that apply in order to govern construction. We are very familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance process and the Construction (RE) Manual, which we utilize on the majority of our projects.
We recently managed a CMAQ federally funded project for the City of Santa Monica's Bike Network Linkages to the Exposition Line and are currently managing the Metro Prop C grant for the City of West Hollywood's Melrose Avenue Streetscape project.
We understand how to meet grant requirements in a timely fashion to ensure the project is built and invoiced to grant specifications and will oversee any required audits. In our ten years as a Prime CM on the Alameda Corridor with both Dave Smith and Tom Berg as RE's, we facilitated the completion of nine different bridge projects, all federally funded and administered under the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures.
Some of our standard operating procedures for administration of federally funded projects include:
• Working with Cities for accurate project pricing for
verification of funding and final E-76 for Federal
Authorization to proceed.
• Review approvals from CTC and ensure permits are in
place.
• Compliance with FARs in all indirect cost certifications, reviews, and rates.
• Compliance with Prevailing Wage requirements as
determined by the DIR.
• Utilization of Caltrans payment forms for the
construction contractor and compilation of back up
documentation to ensure progress payments are in
conformance with scope and finance letter.
• Working to meet milestones to achieve project
completion within the approved performance end date.
• Scoping, estimating, negotiating, and implementing
written changes, when necessary, within program
eligibility.
Full compliance with Chapter 16 of the Caltrans Local
Assistance Procedure Manual to include Weekly Statement of Working Days, Daily Reports by the Resident Engineer and Inspection staff, EEO Reports, tracking all submittals, changes and potential claims.
Filing of the Monthly Program Payments and Progress Reports.
Making sure all documentation is accurate, complete, and current for maximum funding reimbursement.

I(UORKPLAN EXAMPLE OF SEWER REHABILITATION INSPECTIO
Inspecting a sewer rehabilitation construction project involves a range of tasks to ensure that the project is executed properly and meets the required standards. Here are some of the key tasks involved in inspecting a sewer rehabilitation construction project, from pre -construction through close-out:
1. Review project plans and specifications: Start by thoroughly reviewing the project plans and specifications to understand the scope of work, design requirements, and any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the engineer or designer.
2. Pre -construction meeting: Attend a pre -construction meeting with the contractor, engineer, and other relevant stakeholders. Discuss the project schedule, construction methods, safety procedures, and any specific concerns or requirements.
3. Site visits and monitoring: Regularly visit the construction site to monitor the progress and quality of work. Inspect the excavation, pipe installation, and rehabilitation techniques to ensure compliance with the approved plans and specifications. Keep a record of site observations, including photographs and notes.
4. Material inspections: Verify that the materials used for sewer rehabilitation, such as pipes, fittings, grouts, and liners, meet the required standards and specifications. Check for proper storage, handling, and installation of materials to ensure their integrity and performance.
S. Testing and quality control: Oversee and conduct various tests as required to ensure the quality of work.
This may include pressure testing of pipelines, infiltration and exfiltration testing, structural integrity testing, and flow monitoring. Evaluate the test results and compare them against the project requirements.
6. Safety inspections: Regularly inspect the construction site to ensure compliance with safety regulations and procedures. Check for the presence of safety equipment, proper signage, barricades, and measures to protect workers and the public. Address any safety issues promptly.
7. Documentation and reporting: Maintain detailed documentation of inspections, including observations, test results, deviations from plans, and any corrective actions taken. Prepare reports summarizing the progress and quality of work, noting any non-compliance or deficiencies. Communicate the findings to the relevant parties, including the contractor, engineer, and project owner.
8. Problem identification and resolution: Identify any issues or challenges that arise during the construction process, such as design conflicts, unforeseen site conditions, or construction errors. Work with the contractor and engineer to find appropriate solutions and ensure that necessary adjustments are made to maintain project quality and compliance.
9. Change order management: Review and evaluate change orders proposed by the contractor, assessing their impact on the project scope, cost, and schedule. Ensure that change orders are properly documented, reviewed, and approved before implementation.
10. Final inspection and closeout: Conduct a final inspection to verify that all work has been completed according to the approved plans and specifications. Address any remaining punch -list items or outstanding deficiencies. Prepare a final inspection report and ensure that all required documentation, including as -built drawings, record drawings, and warranties, are obtained and submitted.
