CITY COUNCIL
Approval of As-Needed Consultant Agreements with Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation for Engineering Services; RFQ No. 26-011 On March 26, 2026, the City received statements of qualifications (SOQs) from engineering firms for civil engineering, water and sewer design, drainage design, surveying, and geotechnical services. After evaluating all 13 submitted SOQs, the selection team rated Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation as the highest rated firms. This approval will authorize the City Manager to execute consultant agreements with these four engineering firms for as-needed engineering services.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute as-needed consultant agreements with Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation for engineering services.

Discussion:

Staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on March 5, 2026 for as-needed engineering services and received 13 SOQs for the following disciplines: civil engineering, water and sewer engineering, drainage engineering, surveying, and geotechnical engineering. Qualifications were evaluated based on established criteria as found in the RFQ, including a demonstrated understanding of the services requested, qualifications of the firms and key personnel, and demonstrated record of success by the consultants on work previously performed. After a thorough evaluation of the 13 SOQs submitted, staff selected Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation as the engineering firms best suited to meet the City's current and future engineering needs.

These consultants will support the Development Services Department and Public Works Department on a variety of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP included 42 total projects and programs. Of those, 20 are new projects, 10 are annual, recurring programs, and 12 are existing projects with an allocation of additional funds. These programs and projects cover a wide variety of improvements in the areas of streets, drainage, parks, water, sewer, and facilities maintenance.
1 of 94
August 18, 2026, Item #6
One of the benefits of selecting multiple consultants is that each consultant has its own strengths, and the breadth of experience represented by these firms will enable the City to select a consultant that is well-suited to a particular task. In addition, by utilizing as-needed consultants, City staff will have the ability to move quickly into design phase without going through the lengthy process of requesting proposals, awaiting submission of proposals, evaluating the proposals, and getting approval of the selected consultant.

Environmental Review:

The proposed action is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that the award of consultant agreements with four engineering firms for as-needed engineering services only, is not a project or authorizes any physical changes to the environment. Any future projects utilizing these consultant services will be subject to separate environmental review under CEQA, as appropriate.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for engineering services related to public projects have been contemplated and included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget as part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. Therefore, there is no direct fiscal impact associated with awarding the recommended as-needed consulting agreements which will be charged to respective project budgets.

Public Notification:

None.

Our 27-person team works exclusively with public agencies throughout California, and since 2012, more than 90 percent of our work has come from repeat clients, reflecting the trust agencies place in our responsiveness and consistent delivery.

Hoch has an established understanding of the City's priorities through ongoing work on multiple initiatives, including the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade, As-Needed Conservation, AMI and Funding Support, and Sewer Line Repair and Manhole Rehabilitation efforts. Through these assignments, our team has worked closely with City staff to support infrastructure planning, funding strategy, and design development, giving us direct familiarity with the City's systems, standards, and expectations for project delivery.

Responsiveness is central to how Hoch operates. Our structure allows us to engage quickly when task orders are issued, confirm assumptions with City staff, and establish clear scopes, schedules, and budgets from the outset. This is reinforced by the following:
• Strong, Accountable Leadership. Adam Hoch will serve as Principal-in-Charge and primary point of contact for all task orders.

He has led numerous on-call contracts for agencies including the City of Oceanside, City of Escondido, City of Encinitas, Vista Irrigation District, and Rainbow Municipal Water District. • Local Presence and Proven Responsiveness. Our Oceanside headquarters allows our team to mobilize quickly for site visits, coordination, and time-sensitive task orders.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue supporting the City of Poway and look forward to delivering high-quality, reliable services under this contract. Should you require additional information, please contact Adam ·Hoch at 858-431-976ior ahoch@hochconsu·lting.com.

UNDERSTANDING
POWAY
&
HOW
WE

DELIVER
Poway's
water
and
sewer
utilities
face
several
interconnected
challenges
centered
on
aging
infrastructure,
with
core
assets
such
as
the
original
clearwell
and
treatment
plant
dating
back
to
the
1960s
and
1970s
. The
City
remains
dependent
on
imported
water
purchased
through
SDCWA,
while
limited
system
redundancy
has
increased
the
urgency
of
capital
improvements.

At
the
same
time,
construction
cost
escalation
and
an
ongoing
sewer
rehabilitation
backlog
across
appro
ximately
186
miles
of
pipeline
require
sustained
investment
as
the
City
continues
to
advance
a robust
CIP
program
.

We
have
supported
similar
as-needed
contracts
for
several
neighboring
agencies
throughout
San
Diego
County,
delivering
responsive
and
reliable
service.

Hoch
Consulting
understands
these
challenges
and
is
well
positioned
to
support
the
City
with
both
technical
expertise
and
effective
project
delivery.

Our
team
brings
experience
in
collection,
distribution,
and
treatment
systems,
paired
with
strong
capability
in
CIP
project
management.

Hoch
provides
the
technical
depth
and
practical
experience
needed
to
support
Poway
across
this
full
range
of
responsibilities
. We
are
a client-focu
sed
firm
that
pairs
engineering
expertise
with
clear
communication,
strong
coordination
, and
an
understanding
of
the
owner
's
perspective
.

Our
team
brings
hands-on
experience
from
utility,
muni
cipal,
consulting
,
and
construction
environments,
allowing
us
to
support
projects
from
planning
through
design,
permitting,
construction,
and
long-term
operation
. With
90 percent
of
our
work
coming
from
repeat
clients,
our
approach
reflects
the
performance
and
trust
we
build

every

SERVICES
With
a
CIP
program
that
continues
to
grow
in
size
and
complexity,
the
City
is
seeking
qualified
firms
to
serve
as
an
extension
of
staff,
providing
experienced
project
managers
who
can
integrate
seamlessly
with
City
teams
.

This
role
requires
professionals
who
understand
how
to
deliver
transportation,
water,
wastewater,
facilities,
and
other
infrastructure
projects
from
concept
through
completion,
while
representing
the
City
in
coordination
with
consultants,
staff,
stakeholders,
and
decision-makers
.

Hoch's
project
management
team
includes
former
public
agency
staff
in
San
Diego
County
and
professionals
with
extensive
experience
delivering
infrastructure
projects
for
municipalities
across
the
region
. Our
team
understands
how
to
operate
from
the
owner's
side,
providing
continuity,
clear
communication,
and
accountability
throughout
project
delivery.

Hoch
Consulting's
approach
to
project
management
is
built
on
collaboration,
efficiency,
and
proactive
problem
solving
. We
work
alongside
City
staff
as
an
extension
of
the
team,
enhancing
internal
capabilities
with
our
expertise
and
professional
network
to
support
effective
project
delivery.

We
take
a
holistic
approach,
considering
construction
and
long-term
operations
from
the
earliest
stages
of
project
development.

By
integrating
this
perspective
into
decision
making,
we
help
minimize
risk,
streamline
execution,
and
maintain
cost-control.

CONSTRUCTION
&

IMPLEMENTATION OVERSIGHT
This
approach
has
resulted
in
a
strong
track
record
of
delivering
projects
on
time
and
within
budget,
with
below
average
construction
cost
increases
.

Our
team
includes
project
managers
with
direct
experience
delivering
the
types
of
projects
included
in
Poway's
CIP.

For
example,
Dan

traffic
signal
upgrades
along
arterial
corridors,
including
installation
of
new
signal
poles,
paving
and
striping
improvements,
and
ADA
ramp
upgrades
to
meet
current
accessibility
standards.

This
work
refiects
our
ability
to
step
into
active
programs,
coordinate
across
stakeholders
, and
move
projects
forward
efficiently
.

PLANNING & FEASIBILITY
Strong projects start with clear thinking and defensible decisions. Hoch supports agencies during early planning and feasibility by evaluating options, identifying constraints, and developing solutions that are technically sound and practical to implement. We bring an owner's perspective to planning, balancing technical analysis with regulatory, operational, and funding considerations so projects are positioned for long-term success, notjust initial approval.

Our approach is collaborative, bringing stakeholders together early to align priorities, reduce risk, and streamline delivery. The majority of our work is within San Diego County, and we have extensive experience supporting local utility providers and public agencies, including the San Diego County Water Authority, City of San Diego, Ramona Municipal Water District, and San Diego Gas and Electric.

Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replacement & Manhole
Rehabilitation Program
City of Poway
We are currently supporting the City of Poway's Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replacement and Manhole Rehabilitation Program, working directly with City staff to keep critical sewer infrastructure ahead of failure. This program is a key part of how Poway is implementing its Sanitary Sewer Master Plan in a practical, ongoing way.

Our role starts with understanding what is actually happening in the system. We review CCTV data, system records, and flow information with the City to identify where issues are emerging and where improvements will have the most impact. From there, we help translate that information into clear, actionable projects that can be delivered efficiently.

Just as important, we focus on how the work gets built. We work through traffic impacts, utility conflicts, sewer bypass needs, and day-to-day operations early, so there are no surprises later. That upfront coordination allows the City to move projects forward with confidence and maintain consistency across its annual program . • ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Our engineering and design services focus on delivering solutions that can be permitted, built, and operated
with confidence. We approach design with a clear
understanding of how projects move through construction and into long-term operation, emphasizing coordination, constructability, and clarity. This reduces risk, minimizes rework, and supports a smoother transition from design
through construction.

Designing within the City of Poway comes with real
constraints, including traffic congestion, steep terrain, limited space, and environmental and land use
requirements. At the same time, the City maintains
a complex system of reservoirs, pump stations,
and an extensive water and sewer network. Hoch's
team is experienced in designing infrastructure that
performs reliably under these conditions. From pipeline replacements and pressure zone modifications to lift
station improvements and intersection upgrades, we
prepare construction documents that are coordinated,
.buildable, and aligned with the City's standards ..
~ CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT &
.._., INSPECTION
Every project brings its own priorities, constraints, and expectations. Hoch takes the time to understand what
matters most before construction begins and tailors our approach to fit the project, the City, and the surrounding community. Our team draws from engineering,
construction, and public agency backgrounds, giving us a practical understanding of how cost, schedule, scope, and quality come together in real-world conditions.

For the City of Poway, construction management goes
beyond field oversight. It requires transparency, protecting the City's interests, and keeping projects aligned with established goals from preconstruction through closeout.

for

across

and
understands
the
challenges

face
in

COMMUNICATION

PUBLIC

OUTREACH
IN
ACTION
As
the
feasibility
study
progressed,
public
outreach
became
a key
part
of
the
process,
not
a separate
effort.

Hoch
developed
clear,
accessible
messaging
to
explain
recycled
water,
the
purpose
of
the
study,
and
what
decisions
were
being
evaluated.

Through
community
surveys,
public
meetings,
and
project
communications,
the
team
gathered
input
on
water
supply
concerns,
priorities,
and
overall
receptiveness
to
recycled
water.

That
feedback
was
carried
directly
into
the
feasibility
analysis,
helping
the
City
evaluate
alternatives
with
a better
understanding
of
community
expectations
and
positioning
the
project
for
informed
decisions
and
future
funding.

Clear,
timely
communication
is
fundamental
to
how
Hoch
Consulting
operates.

We
are
a
relationship-focused

accountability,
and

From
initial
coordination
through
project
completion,
we
communicate

we

Addendum Acknowledgment: We have received Addendum No. 1 dated March 18, 2026.

Proposal Authorization, Validity, and Terms Acceptance: This proposal has been signed by Jeffrey M. Cooper, PE, a company officer authorized to bind NV5 to all terms, conditions, and commitments made in the SOQ.

Project Understanding
We have based our project understanding on our review
of the Scope of Work as included in the RFP and our work on similar assignments for cities and special districts throughout Southern California. It is our understanding the City is seeking a professional engineering firm to provide on-site, Project Management services under the general
direction of the City Engineer, as well as supplementary staff engineering resources to support delivery of smaller infrastructure projects not of size or complexity to warrant the full RFP process. NV5 provides comprehensive project management for capital projects, maintenance programs,
and facility upgrades, prioritizing adherence to schedules, budgets, and quality standards while overseeing each
phase of project development and execution.

We can provide professional, comprehensive project
management services on a per project or task order basis for all types of capital improvement projects. Below is our general project approach that will be modified and tailored to meet each project's needs.

Project Approach
For more than 70 years, NV5 has been delivering capital improvement projects under aggressive schedules that
involve management, administration and oversight of
project development teams from inception to completion.

Project management to us means complete ownership
of all project aspects including project delivery, project development and budgeting. This approach has served to
maintain continuity, institutional knowledge, momentum
and key community contacts consistent throughout the
project life. We have specific experience serving as a fully engaged member of the municipal team, with flexibility
to adapt to the needs of the project over the course of its life, and through the fluidity of the political and community needs of the municipality.

Project Delivery Strategy
The basis of developing a project delivery strategy is based on preparing a Project Management Plan (PMP). The
PMP is a living document that will provide the roadmap
for project work and will identify the team with specific technical capabilities to carry the project from inception to completion. Listed below are elements that will be
included in a PMP.
• Roles and Responsibilities: This section includes
the illustration and discussion of the project's
organizational chart, job descriptions, reporting

PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
methods and identifying functional relationships, as
well as resumes for all key positions.
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): The WBS is
the structure by which all work is organized and
monitored. The WBS will be utilized for document and
project controls, as well as tracking costs, budget, and schedule.
• Risk and Contingency Management Plan (RCMP):

This plan establishes a risk register that enables the
visibility and tracking of known risks. This supports
proactive decision making, enables discussions
ahead of possible incidents, and building consensus
on ideal solutions.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan:

This plan establishes quality procedures for all
deliverables and project management. The phases of
the project identified in the scope will include the plan for QC ahead of each and every deliverable.
• Project Controls Plan (PCP): This plan will utilize
the WBS noted above to confirm that all project work
stays on schedule and within the budget. The PCP is a
comprehensive approach to track project deliverables
and the associated budget.

General Approach to Project Management
All projects, regardless of size or complexity, will suffer if they are not managed with diligence. For this reason, we place high priority on developing a strong project
organization and overall project management approach.

Even with our broad depth of resources and experience, we recognize that people make projects successful. Quick and responsive solutions, while being sensitive to community issues, are the cornerstones of our accomplishments and company traditions.

Timely
Completion
and
Schedule
Management
Our
approach
to
assuring
that
all
phases
of
the
project
are
completed
in
a
timely
manner
is
to
establish
and
maintain
a
realistic
yet
ambitious
overall
project
schedule.

All
updates
and
changes
are
documented
for
the
City's
review.

We
also
include
City-mandated
project milestones
and
points
of
essential
input
or
review
by
the
City
team
. In
all
cases
, the
City
is
notified
in
advance
of
each
milestone
and
scheduled
review
so
that
it
may
prepare
materials
in
an
orderly
manner.

Our
ability
to
"drive"
the
project
forward
is
our
hallmark
for
success.

We
strongly
believe
that
by
aggressively
and
pro-actively
managing
the
project
and
the
performance
of
project
team
members,
we
will
produce
positive
results
and
complete
the
project
in
a
timely
manner.

Managing
Project
Budget
Utilizing
budget
control
and
reporting
tools,
we
focus
on
accountability,
documentation
and
record
keeping
, and
frequent
communication
of
key
project issues
with
the
City.

Project
managers
apply
budget
control
systems
and
carefully
monitor
project
budgets.

Project
managers
closely
track
work
quality
of
all
members
of
the
project
team
to
assure
budgets
are
adhered
to.

Work
and
budget
plans
are
prepared
before
work
is
started
and
are
submitted
to
the
City
program
manager
for
approval.

After
those
are
secured,
the
project manager
monitors
the
team
members
to
assure
the
work
is
done
within
the
scope
of
services
identified
and
the
work
is
being
performed
within
the
budget
and
schedule
approved
by
the
City
program
manager.

Specifically,
project managers
monitor
that
milestones
are
met,
funding
strategies
are
implemented,
and
that
there
is
regular
invoicing
for
fund
reimbursements.

Anything
not
meeting
the
performance
expectations
is
brought
to
the
immediate
attention
of
the
City. Quality
Assurance/Quality
Control
During
the
design
phase
we
will
perform
extensive
constructability
and
value
engineering
reviews
of
the
design
documents.

We
will
identify
the
critical
areas
of
design
and
focus
our
reviews
accordingly.

These
areas
include
grading/drainage,
asphalt
and
concrete
paving
improvements,
traffic
signal
modifications,
ADA
accessibility,
appropriate
edge
condition
treatments,
quality
and
specifications
of
hardscape
materials,
site
lighting,
and
irrigation
systems
.

During
construction
we
will
coordinate
all
required
project
inspections
and
reports.

We
will
assure
that
the
various

PROJECT

MANAGEMENT

APPROACH
City
inspectors
are
contacted
by
the
Contractor
according
to
City
requirements
and
will
attend/facilitate
meetings
and
on-site
inspections
to
assure
that
all
work
is
being
constructed
and
approved
according
to
the
contract
documents
and
project
schedule
.

The
oversight
of
the
Contractor's
Quality
Assurance
and
Quality
Control
programs
are
very
important
to
the
success
of
any
project.

We
will
establish
a
protocol
with
the
Contractor
to
assure
that
the
work
that
is
performed
on
a
day-to-day
basis
is
in
compliance.

We
will
also
require
that
the
Contractor
submit
a
project
specific
QA/QC
program
that
specifically
outlines
and
addresses
the
critical
issues
and
areas
that
we
identify
during
the
design
phase
of
the
project.

We
will
also
require
that
the
Contractor
designates
an
on-site
team
member
as
QA/QC
manager
to
be
responsible
for
conducting
walk-throughs
and
to
perform
periodic
checklists
to
assure
that
all
wo
rk complies
with
the
QA/QC
manual.

All
deficiencies
will
be
documented
and
all
remedial
work
will
be
managed
by
NV5
and
the
necessary
consultants.

Progress
Reporting
We
will
create
financial
reports
and
project
status
reports
to
monitor
the
overall
program
delivery.

Through
these
reports,
we
will
develop
a
project
control
system
with
"checks
and
balances
" to
accomplish
the
following:
• Provide
accurate,
up-to-date
information
on
project
budgets
, status
of
work,
emerging
project
issues
•
Provide
up-to-date
financial
expenditures
to
assist
the
City
regarding
the
burn
rate
on
the
project
among
various
programmed
phases,
as
well
as
the
type
of
revenues
being
expended
•
Implementation
of
the
"checks
and
balances"
monitoring
of
budgets.

By
creating
reports,
the
"checks
and
balances
" is
achieved
in
several
ways:
o
The
project
manager
will
verify
accuracy
of
budget
expenditures
and
make
any
needed
corrections
immediately
o
The
City
can
review
to
double-check
eligible
expenditures
are
in
line
with
Council's
approved
budgets
o
The
public
works
director
can
quickly
examine
the
status
and

of

• Prevention of Scope Creep: We will work closely with
the City and design team to assure a disciplined effort that keeps the original project goals and objectives in clear focus.
• Establishment and Maintenance of a Design
Schedule: We will assure that critical review and
completion milestones are met. Should the schedule
slip, we will work closely with the design team to
formulate a recovery plan.
• Extensive Reviews of the Plans and Specifications:

We will assure that all disciplines are coordinated
and that there are no conflicts. This will minimize the potential for any change orders.

Cost Estimating
The basis for reliable cost estimates will be the
development and updating of standard project bid items, refinement of the existing Caltrans cost estimating
guidelines and to identify the big ticket items that generally control project costs. Typically 10 to 15 items (sometimes less) drive project construction costs. We have had
success with early identification and analysis of those key construction items and as a result our initial estimates generally prove accurate.

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

Familiarity with State and Federal Procedures
We understand the development of Federal-and State
funded projects requires more than the preparation of
design reports and PS&E. More and more, engineers
are required to navigate their projects through the
complex federal aid process involving pre-award audits, authorizations, and timely use of fund provisions. Our
experience with the regulatory agencies controlling
these funding sources has afforded us the opportunity to support our clients through the process of developing the day-to-day procedures required to secure authorization
and reimbursement for federally funded projects. This
participation has put us in a position to offer our clients an unparalleled level of understanding of the process
required to comply with Federal and State requirements.

Our work with local, state and federal agencies keeps us in the forefront of current updates to policies and procedures allowing our clients to benefit from our regular involvement in the project delivery process.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

CITY OF POWAY
• Conducting a utility survey to identify the existing utilities within the area and determine the available corridors for placement of the new pipe
• Potholing to verify the depths and horizontal locations of existing water and conflicting pipelines • Working with Poway's utilities staff to understand the distribution system and determine the optimal construction sequencing to limit customer water service shutdowns, including:
• Placing valves strategically to create system loops
• Optimizing the design corridor to install new pipeline in parallel with existing pipe, where possible • Maintaining resident safety and driveway access in this residential neighborhood by phasing construction in short segments to limit the number of impacted driveways
• Giving special consideration to the potential presence of sensitive species by phasing construction, where possible, to avoid work during breeding seasons
Sewer System Expertise
Often some of the oldest assets in a municipal system, sewer collection and conveyance infrastructure must be properly maintained and improved to protect public health, support community growth, and ensure reliable system performance.

Parsons provides the full range of engineering services needed to evaluate, design, replace, repair, and rehabilitate municipal sewer systems -including gravity sewers, force mains, lift stations, and related infrastructure. Our team brings local experience and a strong understanding of sewer regulatory requirements and operating conditions, and is available to support Poway's needs, including:
• Sewer rehabilitation and replacement
• Sewer manhole rehabilitation and replacement, including cured-in-place-pipe and spiral wound rehabilitation
• Sewer network CCTV and dye testing review
• Utility conflict analysis and coordination
Below is a sample of local projects we have worked on:

-Parsons' Approach
For this City of Poway project, we would apply the approach we successfully used on the City of San Diego Water & Sewer Group 965 Project, which includes:
• Conducting a utility survey to identify utilities within the area • Surveying existing sewer manholes to obtain invert elevations and ensure proper slopes are maintained in the new design • Potholing to verify the depths and horizontal locations of existing water and conflicting pipelines

• Challenge: Over 5,000 LF of sewer main in
Sorrento Valley, San Diego, required
replacement. Portions of the line ran
beneath a San Diego Gas & Electric
(SDG&E) electrical vault and relocating the
vault would have delayed construction by
approximately 18 months.
• Solution: Parsons engineered a solution to
reroute the sewer pipeline around the
electrical vault. This included verifying
existing sewer inverts by surveying manhole
elevations and designing a new alignment
that maintained adequate clearance from
SDG&E facilities.
• Construction is currently underway and is
expected to be complete in late 2026.

■ Maintaining resident safety and driveway access in this residential neighborhood by phasing construction in short segments to limit the number of driveways impacted
■ Identifying viable alternative alignments, if conflicts are encounters, to avoid utility relocations • Ensuring each existing service lateral is properly reconnected to the new main ■ Conducting dye testing and CCTV, if any mains are taken out of service, to ensure all existing laterals are replumbed to another main
Drainage Analysis and Improvements Expertise
Parsons' experience with hydrology and hydraulics includes drainage design, urban runoff analysis, culvert design, floodplain mapping, hydrology and drainage calculations, and preparation of drainage studies. As part of our civil and transportation as-needed contracts with the City of San Diego and our as-needed
engineering services contract with the County of San Diego, we have provided detailed drainage analyses -modeling tributary watersheds, soil conditions, times of concentration, and hydromodification -to estimate stormwater flows for 25-, 50-, PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: FOOTHILL BOULEVARD & a

LORING STREET ROUNDABOUT -SAN DIEGO, CA
and 100-year design storms for facilities. These analyses support optimization of proposed storm drain networks and best
management practices (BMPs), evaluation of natural drainage features, design of surface drainage elements, and capacity analyses of proposed systems.

In addition to providing drainage analysis, we're experts in developing BMP and Green Street infrastructure strategy plans to meet or exceed water quality standards. From determining feasibility of Low Impact Development (LID) features to preparing structural and non-structural BMP calculations, Parsons can quickly evaluate and provide recommendations to meet all City and municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) requirements.

Parsons provided drainage services for the
Foothill Boulevard & Loring Street Roundabout
project in Pacific Beach. Services included:
■ Hydrologic analysis
■ Hydraulic modeling
■ Inlet capacity calculations
■ Stormwater network optimization
■ Drainage and geotechnical report.
■ Conceptual alternatives
The project included storm drain rehabilitation
and replacement, as well as capacity
calculations of existing and proposed networks.

This project serves as an exemplary instance of
designing storm drain systems for hydraulic
efficiency, while also reducing surface ponding
and mitigating flooding.

Project Relevance
■ Curb inlet analysis
■ Storm drain mapping and hydraulic analysis
Storm drainage replacement in a
constrained ROW
e
A representative example of these services is the Carmel Del Mar Neighborhood Park Improvements project for the City of San Diego, where we developed a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) and a BMP strategy for a Priority Development Project (PDP). The project was evaluated for contributing site pollutants, and water quality requirements were met through the design of a biofiltration basin and permeable pavement. Parsons' experience also includes erosion control plans and studies, as well as Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs).
e
Another strong example of our culvert repair services is the 1-805 South Asset Management Project for Caltrans District 11. This effort included field and desktop assessments of culverts along 1-805; evaluation of each culvert based on the assessment results to determine the appropriate rehabilitation method; and preparation of a rehabilitation report documenting recommended repair strategies, staged construction methods, and preliminary cost estimates. Through our work, Parsons identified repair methods that saved Caltrans time and money compared with traditional replacements.

Annual Corrugated Metal Pipe Repair/ Replace -CIP #DR001 -Parsons' Approach For this potential project, Parsons would model the approach successfully used on the 1-805 South Asset Management Project, which includes:
■ Conducting a site assessment or desktop study of previously prepared assessment reports from Poway ■ Evaluating each culvert through a workflow to determine the most feasible rehabilitation method ? PARSONS

Santee
uses
the
same
central
control
system
(Transparity)
as
Poway,
Parsons
offers
directly
transferable
experience
and

strategies.

The
adaptive
system
dynamically
adjusts
signal
timing
in
response
to
traffic

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

CITY OF POWAY
■ Evaluating existing timing to confirm and/or develop baseline timing plans ■ Evaluating existing detection systems for potential upgrades to provide required input for the adaptive system • Evaluating the communication system to ensure it meets the requirements of adaptive systems • Upgrading system software and controller firmware for adaptive capabilities • Developing the adaptive system and code intersections in the system ■ Testing and calibrating system thresholds to ensure responsiveness to real-time conditions ■ Monitoring system performance and fine-tuning operations to achieve optimal efficiency • Conducting an "after" study to validate system performance • Preparing a comprehensive final report
Potential challenges include understanding the existing system, confirming or developing baseline signal timing plans, and preparing the system software and hardware for adaptive control operations. Parsons' staff have extensive experience resolving these issues on the same platform as Poway and are well positioned to address them and successfully deliver the project.

Environmental Analysis and Reporting (CEQA)
Parsons provides in-house environmental and stormwater planning, design, and engineering, resulting in tightly coordinated compliance with applicable regulations and design standards. We understand the permit acquisition process with agencies throughout the County and State -from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) -and regularly prepare design studies, environmental documents, and technical reports for our on-call contracts for local municipalities. Our team has successfully obtained permits and approvals from the California Coastal Commission (CCC), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

Within San Diego County, Parsons has recently completed archaeological, biological, and other environmental technical studies for projects that secured CEQA approvals, including:
• City of San Diego Sewer Pump Station 11
• City of San Diego Buchanan Canyon Sewer Replacement
• OMWD Unit A Rancho Santa Fe Road Pipeline Replacement We'll bring this recent experience and our working relationships with the various permitting agencies to help Poway identify the appropriate permits and navigate the application process efficiently.

CIP Project Management
Our project management team will be led by Matt Brash, who has managed numerous as-needed contracts for agencies throughout San Diego County. He has a proven record of controlling scope, schedule, and budget while aligning deliverables with client priorities and goals. Matt's leadership and technical competence make him well qualified to serve as Poway's project management lead.

We have a highly skilled team of more than 100 professionals in San Diego County, including discipline managers, technical leads, and support staff ready to deliver exceptional results for Poway. We're large enough to provide depth in every identified discipline; yet focused enough to remain responsive and hands-on for each task order. This team has delivered hundreds of task orders as a prime through multiple as-needed contracts. We are the industry leaders in on call delivery and can effectively manage, design, and review the full range of projects in Poway's CIP. No project is too large or small for us.

Parsons also has deep experience delivering multidisciplinary projects that must comply with complex federal, state, regional, and local regulations. This is exemplified by our work on the award-winning San Marcos Creek District Infrastructure Project-at $70 million, the largest capital project in the City of San Marcos' history -and further illustrated in the callout box on the next page. ?

City
of
Poway
and
the
public
at
large.

Parsons
trains
and
certifies
its
project
managers
to
utilize
effective
budget
management
tools
and
planning
techniques
to
ensure
successful
project
delivery,
while
facilitating
effective
communication
with
the
clients.

We
will
monitor
weekly
and
monthly
progress
to
avoid
surprises

PARSONS'

APPROACH
TO

PROJECT

CONTROLS
Budget
Management
The
goal
of
budget
control
processes
at
Parsons
is
to
meet
all
project
requirements
as
efficiently
as
possible
while
completing
the
project
on
time
and
within
budget.

Parsons
will
apply
EVM
as
the
primary
means
of
monitoring
project
progress
and
forecasting
performance
and
integrating
scope,
schedule,
and
budget.

Early
detection
and
correction
of
performance-related
problems
is
one
of
the
major benefits
of
EVM.

Variance
identification
and
analysis
aids
in
isolating
causes
of
deviation
from
the
plan
and
allows
the
mitigation
process
to
minimize
overall
impact.

This
allows
various
aspects
of
the
project
to
be
integrated
into a
single
system
, allowing
the
task
order
leads
to
evaluate
and
control
project
task
order
leads
to
evaluate
and
control
project
risk
by
planning,
measuring,
and
analyzing
the
financial
and
physical
project
performance.

PARSONS'

APPROACH
TO

PROJECT

CONTROLS

RESULTS
IN
ON
TIME
AND

WITHIN-BUDGET

DELIVERY
The
budget
control
process
begins
with
the
development
of
a
baseline
budget
and
is
monitored
and
updated
in
all
stages
. Parsons
possesses
a
variety
of
web-based
analytical
reports
to
assist
our
task
order
managers
in
successfully
maintaining
control
of
a
project
budget
by
providing
timely
status
reports
on
performance,
trends,
variances,
forecasts,
commitments,
and
expenditures
for
all
work
elements.

The
Parsons
team
will
prepare
monthly
progress
reports
that
contain
a
narrative
of
work
progress
achieved
by
task
during
the
reporting
period,
work
planned
for
the
next
period
, problems encountered,
solutions
achieved,
outstanding
issues,
financial
reporting
on
budget,
and
anticipated
cost
to
complete.

that

are
aligned

Parsons
is
ISO

certified,
which
is
an
internationally
recognized
quality
management
system.

The
figure
to
the
right
outlines
Parsons'
QA/QC
submittal
procedures.

Implementing
a
comprehensive
QA/QC
process
is
critical
to
the
success
of
any
project.

Parsons
has
robust
policies
and
procedures
in
place
that
ensure
we
deliver
a
quality
product
the
first
time.

Another
key
to
success
is
having
dedicated
quality
managers,
like
Sam
Ekrami,
QA/QC
Manager,
who
have
"stop
work
authority.
" Sam
will
ensure
that
Parsons
QA

policies
are
being
followed. Technical
Breadth
and

Unique
to
Parsons
is
that
we
have
general

flood
control,
water,
wastewater,
and
traffic
staff
in-house
and
working
together under
the
same
roof,
in
the

This
allows
technical
staff
to
collaborate
and
work
collectively
to
solve
big

issues
in
real
time
and
as
a
team.
