H. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
30. PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED BY THE AGENCY. ATTACH ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED.
Scope
• On‑call electrical engineering services to support the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s plans and other RCMU‑directed
projects. Services delivered as‑needed: short technical reviews to full design (concept → construction).
• Deliverables: plans, exhibits, calculations, specs,
technical memos, Civil 3D/AutoCAD files, cost estimates, and construction support. Includes roadway lighting,
utility coordination, underground facilities, power
distribution, and associated civil infrastructure.
Task Delivery & Technical Approach
• Task kickoffs to confirm objectives, standards, schedule, deliverables, risks, and staffing; focused work plan for each assignment.
• Early review of maps, record drawings, utility data, and site info to identify constraints (utility conflicts, ROW, constructability, agency requirements).
• Practical, constructible designs emphasizing
cost‑effectiveness and reduced field rework. Civil and
electrical coordination for turnkey, buildable solutions.
Project Management
• Dedicated Project Manager as single point of contact; roles defined via a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
Phased lifecycle (Initiation → Planning → Design/
Execution → Closeout) with gated reviews and regular
cadences (weekly design reviews, biweekly client
updates, monthly executive summaries).
• Collaboration tools: Teams is used for day‑to‑day
coordination and milestone visibility; SharePoint for
document/version control and cross‑team transparency.
Quality, Cost, Schedule Controls
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): quality
checks are done by a robust QA/QC policy where
technical leads have a tracked procedure to do a final
cold‑eye review after both self‑review and manager
review. Standardized checklists, review templates, logged records, non‑conformance tracking, and senior technical sign‑offs ensure accuracy and standards compliance.
• Cost Control: Cost control is done via financial software by reporting to designers at the minimum of weekly
and utilizing SharePoint for cross‑team visibility. Weekly cost‑to‑date vs. budget reporting, rolling forecasts,
variance analysis, and a formal change‑control workflow manage budget performance and change orders.
• Schedule Control: Schedule control is set with a Gantt chart, with milestones tracked throughout the project
life cycle process via Teams for visibility for the entire team. Baseline schedules, critical‑path monitoring,
percent‑complete tracking, and recovery actions
maintain milestone adherence.
Performance Monitoring & Reporting
• Performance monitoring includes tracking KPI’s for
schedule and budget, supported by earned‑value metrics
(SPI, CPI), milestone adherence, review cycle times, and open non‑conformances.
• Reporting: concise weekly briefs to the design
team; formal monthly progress reports summarizing
schedule, cost, risk, quality, and actions. All reports and deliverables stored in SharePoint; Teams used for
notifications and meeting artifacts.
Commitment
• NV5 provides responsive, standards‑compliant,
constructible engineering support—combining
experienced technical staff, disciplined QA/QC, and
tool‑enabled visibility to reliably deliver City projects from planning through construction.

FIRM EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS
A long-range specific plan developed over several years by the City of San Marcos called for the development of a comprehensive 214-acre “downtown” area that the City refers to as the San Marcos Creek District. The complex plan involved several phases before completion.
NV5 was enlisted to provide dry utility services for Phase 1, a $104M project that involved the development of infrastructure to support the overall plan.
Phase 1 consisted of the following elements:
• Widening of Discovery Street to four lanes and a bike lane. • Raised roadway and new bridges over the San Marcos Creek to reduce flooding and enhance safety.
• Additional sidewalks and bike facilities.
• New community park.
• Restoration and preservation of 1.5 miles of creek habitat.
NV5’s dry utilities team did the following: provided site analysis, reviewed franchise utilities, conducted initial meetings with the dry utility companies, created and reviewed with the City of San Marcos a concept utility exhibit to identify the existing utility company-related systems located in the area, and the potential new underground and overhead utility systems planned for the new project, and developed a cost estimate summary report with written findings and recommendations for each utility company (SDG&E, AT&T and Cox Communications).
In addition, NV5 created and finalized the SDG&E Applicant Design for the electric overhead and underground poleline conversion. NV5 provided the coordination and management with each dry utility for the final utility design, agreements, and construction coordination for the scheduling, installation and energizing of the project.

FIRM EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS
Snapdragon, San Diego’s new sports stadium and home of the San Diego State University Aztecs football team, opened on time and on budget in August 2022 due to the hard work and diligence of the entire design-build team. NV5, which provided dry utilities’ consultant services for electric, natural gas, and telecommunications infrastructure and design, made critical contributions to keep this complex project on schedule. At project start in August 2020, our engineers developed a design that was quickly approved by SDG&E to maintain utility service at the old stadium while the team was building and transitioning into a new stadium at SDSU’s satellite campus in Mission Valley.
As the project progressed, other problems cropped up due to the global Covid-19 pandemic that not only impacted the productivity of the designers and builders but also caused global supply chain problems. One of the most critical areas of concern involved the timing of the installation of equipment required to provide the stadium with permanent power.
By working together, the team found a solution enabling all designs (electric, gas, and telecommunications) to be approved and installed as planned, keeping the project on its critical path schedule. Jim Cleaton, SDSU Director of Construction, thanked the team, saying, “I appreciate your diligence to work through the obstacles to make this happen. Good job!” Snapdragon is a 35,000-seat stadium with the capability to be expandable to 55,000 seats.
It was built to support not only SDSU Aztecs football, but also to support professional soccer, rugby, lacrosse, and special events such as concerts.Snapdragon Stadium, which is one of the most significant projects for the San Diego community in recent years, is the first phase of a 135-acre SDSU Mission Valley Redevelopment project that is transforming the former SDCCU stadium site into a new SDSU satellite campus and community. NV5 is also the dry utilities consultant for phase 2, which is estimated to be a $3.5 billion endeavor.

Project Experience
POSEIDON 12 KV DISTRIBUTION UNDERGROUNDING
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | CARLSBAD, CA
Project Engineer - Provided the three-dimensional design for four 12 kV distribution circuits that feed the Poseidon Desalination Plant. In order to provide power to the project a unique approach to supporting fiberglass conduit via engineered steel supports ran down an abandoned pit from the Encina Power Station. Mark also provided QA/QC for all of the getaways from the substation and designed transitions in and out of the two pits and then to the customer side switchgear.
SYCAMORE-TO-PEÑASQUITOS (SX-PQ) 230 KV TRANSMISSION LINE SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | SAN DIEGO, CA
Engineer of Record & QC Reviewer - Engineer of Record for the 980’ of jacked and tunneled trenchless method to cross I-15 with two intermediate jacking points along the specially designed 54” diameter reinforced concrete pipe or RCP. Each RCP had a 1’ thick plywood plate between the pipes in the bell-less gasketed joint and to sets of grouting ports to grout the outside of the pipe as part of the permitting requirements.
The RCP was jacked with a sand shield and a manned excavator on the leading edge of the pipe for the cobble bearing soil which made HDD impossible due to cave in of the cobble lenses in the soil and the settlement the cave in would cause on the interstate. He also did all the QC reviews of all the plan sets and as-builts.
NV5 was the Lead Engineer on the SX-PQ 230 kV underground transmission project which constructed 12 miles of underground double circuit 230 kV from Sycamore Canyon Substation to Peñasquitos Substation. The project was needed to provide a bulk power link from desert areas east of San Diego, abundant in solar resources, to the coastal and downtown load centers.

Project Experience Continued
NV5 was integral to every phase of the project –from concept to construction. Our support during CPCN permitting was crucial to assist the client navigating through difficult environmental and regulatory hurdles as well as assisting with community outreach, and leading both the civil and electrical engineering aspects of the project producing high-quality designs given very difficult engineering challenges.
Challenges included the placement of 35 large vaults and 12 miles of trench alignment with extremely congested city streets, 980 feet of tunneling under the 16-lane Interstate 15, and siting 165-foot cable riser structures without
environmental or visual encroachments. We designed custom vaults with cable racking and a grounding system as well as design and integration of an adjacent fiber optic system for DTS and Partial Discharge ready testing.
NV5 also provided construction support and auxiliary services, produced traffic control plans, acquired all permits from the City of San Diego and Caltrans, and provided on-site materials testing, geotechnical analysis, and survey. We worked with the cable manufacturer to ensure cable design would meet project specifics and cable delivery dates would be met as well as providing witness testing of the cable reels at the
manufacturing plant.
TL673 LA JOLLA 69 KV DIRECT BURY REPLACEMENT
PROJECT
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | LA JOLLA, CA
Engineer of Record & QC Reviewer - Engineer of Record and designed the HDD in all three of its forms for the permit and the minor changes required by contractor to drill it. Also designed the hill holders, an 8” concrete wall keyed into the slope, required by the City of San Diego, and designed to hold the soil on the steep slope after the trench is dug. He also QC reviewed the drawings and the as-builts.
The La Jolla 69 kV Direct-Bury Replacement project installed approximately five miles of new 69kV electric transmission line. This new line replaced the 50-year-old existing directburied cable infrastructure feeding the La Jolla area, which had reached end-of-life and had begun to experience an
increasing number of failures and outages.
The replacement of this critical infrastructure improved the reliability of the transmission grid in Southern California and enabled the delivery of dependable energy to San Diego’s coastal region. Using innovative approaches to navigate and overcome obstacles, this project traversed the congested City of San Diego streets and crossed under La Jolla Parkway, successfully tying the La Jolla area back into the Southern California transmission grid.
A significant obstacle was the high-traffic, hilly location with decades of underground utility infrastructure designers and construction teams needed to strategically navigate to complete the project successfully.
The engineering team worked hard to route the power line away from heavy traffic areas, located vaults away from intersections, and used a horizontal directional drill (HDD) to bore under La Jolla Parkway to avoid traffic congestion at this bottleneck into La Jolla. The new line design also achieved efficiencies.
CARLTON HILLS SUBSTATION
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | SANTEE, CA
Project Engineer - Designed the access road to Carlton Hill Substation. He also provided QC for all of the 12 kV getaways.
VINE SUBSTATION

SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA
Project Engineer - Designed three cable-pulled 69 kV tie-lines in and out of the substation using jack and bore to cross Old Highway 80. Also provided QC for all of the 12 kV getaways for the substation.
CERRITOS 66 KV HDD AND JACK & BORE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON | CERRITOS, CA
Project Engineer - This project involved the design of a 227.5- foot jack-and-bore under the Metro Railroad Right-of- Way south of State Route 91 and east of the San Gabriel River. In addition to having to coordinate with the railroad for
encroachment and licensing permits, each end of the bore added additional challenges by being confined within private property areas that fell within the utility’s easement. The bore casing was designed as a 28-inch OD API 5L Steel
Casing Pipe, E80 Loading (ID 27-inch, 0.5-inch wall
thickness, extra heavy).
The project also involved the design of a 721.7-foot 66kV horizontal directional drill (HDD) under State Route 91 approximately 1,100 feet west of the I-605/SR-91
intersection. The bore casing was designed as a 30-inch nominal fusible PVC (ID 28.77” - DR21) with 6-6” and 1-4” fusible PVC carriers for the entire length of the run.

Project Experience
POWER YOUR DRIVE & PRIORITY REVIEW PROJECTS
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | SAN DIEGO, CA
Project Manager & Lead Distribution Designer - Managed the design and engineering team as well as being the lead distribution designer for this project.
The program included installation of 3,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging nozzles on over 100 separate sites within existing parking lots and garages throughout San Diego and Orange counties. Each site received between six and 50 EV stalls, with the average site receiving approximately 15 stalls. Level 2 EV chargers were installed at multi-family residences and private property businesses across the SDG&E service territory, and a variety of Level 2 and DC fast chargers were installed for public use and company fleet vehicle use.
NV5 devoted three separate teams of engineers and drafters who focused on completing each Power Your Drive project from start to finish. The teams attended the site walk, coordinated design-level survey, prepared a preliminary design drawing, prepared civil construction documents, coordinated with agencies through permit approval, and finished with construction support.
STRATEGIC/DIRECT UNDERGROUNDING PROGRAM
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | VARIOUS LOCATIONS, CA
Distribution Designer - Working with the civil design team to provide electric design services and construction support. NV5 is providing environmental studies and reviews (utilizing our GIS web map tools), permit application and acquisition, civil design, electrical design, overhead/SCADA design, land management and easement acquisition preparation, subconsultant management for utility locating and potholing, site specific fielding, community outreach, standards creation and process improvement, and program management to SDG&E for their Strategic Undergrounding Program.

C221 DUG PHASE 4 - ELECTRIC
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | JULIAN, CA
Distribution Designer - Working with the civil design team to provide electric design services and construction support.
NV5 is providing electric design, civil design, and engineering and support services to underground a complete power feed affecting critical services in an area of extreme fire risk. The scope of work includes more than 6 miles of underground distribution design to provide a complete underground feed from the Santa Ysabel substation to downtown Julian and assure reliable power for critical infrastructure and refuge locations during public safety power shutoff (PSPS) events.
Extreme heat and high wind conditions can trigger PSPS
events. As part of SDG&E’s Strategic Undergrounding
Program, C221’s phases 1, 3, and 4 were challenging yet critical to maintaining essential services in the area.
NV5 worked closely with SDG&E and Caltrans to mitigate
potential design and construction issues. The circuit project faced significant challenges because the route runs along Highway 79 through rocky terrain with limited shoulder space and goes through a portion of Cleveland National Forest that is adjacent to the substation.
NV5 worked closely with Caltrans, using mini horizontal directional drilling where trenching wasn’t possible and even adjusted design of a phase to enable out-of-order construction to meet an ambitious timeline while also accommodating the lengthy approval process required for the public lands portion.
NV5 was involved in every aspect of the project, from survey, UAV and base mapping through environmental and land
services, all the way to permitting and staging yard
identification. NV5’s expertise and agency knowledge and relationships were valuable in meeting critical project milestones on time and on budget. The team’s clear
understanding of the agency’s design preferences helped NV5 successfully negotiate variance where necessary.
C1030 MULTIPLE PROJECTS
SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC | SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA
Distribution Designer - Working with the civil design team to provide electric design services and construction support.
NV5 is providing electric design, civil design and engineering and support services to underground a large 12 kV power line replacement project affecting critical overhead infrastructure and customer services in an area of extreme fire risk.
The scope of work includes more than 46 miles of
underground distribution design through terrain with multiple geotechnical constraints, coordination with multiple public agencies and private customers. C1030 was the first circuit project for SDG&E’s Strategic Undergrounding Program, and NV5 worked hand-in-hand on design requirements, program development, processes and procedures in support of
this important fire-mitigation program initiative to limit the occasions where a public safety power shutoff (PSPS) event is required for safety.
The circuit project faced significant challenges in design and construction from environmental and geotechnical constraints as well as logistical constraints from other utilities, land boundary issues, customer issues, and technical issues to achieve project goals. NV5’s involvement began with a full project scoping to identify issues and determine the most effective, efficient solutions and carries through completed construction of all phases. NV5 met client goals through creative app roaches and expert design and engineering. The team worked through every challenge, for one phase even pioneering installation of 200amp SCADA sectionalizing for fallen conductor detection. For the project as a whole, NV5 coordinated with SDG&E’s standards group to develop a
standard for converting overhead meter poles to underground feed.
The team mitigated issues and obtained appropriate
permissions to remove idle facilities, separated work by geotechnical constraints to facilitate contractor bidding and keep construction schedules on track, and they coordinated horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installation through dense oak areas near wetlands to avoid environmental restrictions.
NV5’s problem solving even included development of
communication tools between backbone design and service conversion work to enable payment to electricians. By
working through the project’s extensive complications to deliver construction-ready drawing sets, as well as approved permitting and environmental releases before supporting construction, NV5 set the standard for success for a critical client program.

NV5 PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
NV5 applies a structured, transparent, and outcomesfocused project management approach to ensure scope, schedule, cost, and quality objectives are met. We assign a dedicated Project Manager as single point of contact and use a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) within our project financial trackers to align tasks, responsibilities, deliverables, and acceptance criteria across design and delivery teams.
Change control, risk registers, and an issues escalation path are in place from project initiation through closeout.
OVERALL METHODOLOGY
We follow a phased lifecycle (Initiation → Planning →
Design/Execution → Closeout) with iterative checkpoints and gated reviews at key milestones. The PM integrates
technical leads, discipline managers, client representatives, and construction/quality assurance resources into crossfunctional teams to accelerate issue resolution and reduce rework. Collaboration tools (Teams, SharePoint) and defined meeting cadences (weekly design reviews, biweekly client updates, monthly executive reviews) keep communication
disciplined and timely.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
Quality is done by a robust Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC) policy where technical leads have a tracked procedure to do a final cold-eye review after both selfreview and manager review. Our QA/QC process includes standardized checklists, deliverable-specific review
templates, logged review records, and non-conformance
tracking. Technical leads sign off on final submittals; lessons learned from each review are captured and fed back into project procedures to continuously reduce risk.
COST CONTROL
Cost control is done via financial software by reporting to designers weekly and utilizing SharePoint for cross-team visibility. We maintain a project budget baseline and perform weekly cost-to-date vs. budget reporting, forecast updates, and variance analysis. Change orders and potential cost impacts are captured through the change-control workflow and communicated immediately to the PM and client so
mitigation options are enacted early.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Schedule control is set with a Gantt chart, with milestones tracked throughout the project life cycle process via Teams for visibility for the entire team. A baseline schedule is established in planning, critical-path activities are monitored, and progress updates are posted weekly. We track percent complete at the task level, monitor float and slippage, and deploy recovery actions when milestones drift.
PROJECT TRACKING & PERFORMANCE
MONITORING
Performance monitoring includes tracking KPI’s for schedule and budget. We supplement those KPIs with earned-value
metrics, milestone adherence, and quality indicators (review cycle times, open non-conformances). Real-time dashboards provide PMs and stakeholders visibility into schedule
performance and cost performance.
PROGRESS REPORTING PROCEDURES
Regular reporting includes a concise weekly progress
brief to the design team, a formal monthly progress report (summarizing schedule, cost, risk, quality, and action items), and milestone release packages. All reports, key documents, and versioned deliverables are stored in SharePoint with controlled access; Teams is used for immediate notifications and meeting artifacts. This combination of disciplined
process, tool-enabled visibility, and accountable technical leadership ensures predictable delivery and high client confidence.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
COLLABORATIVE CITY SUPPORT
NV5’s staff has worked with a number of Southern California cities under similar on-call agreements providing construction management and inspection including City of Culver City, City of Anaheim, City of Yorba Linda, City of Laguna Woods, City of South Pasadena amongst others, and understands how to maintain continuity with City staff as well as with internal and external experts and engineering teams. Whether reviewing a submittal, responding to an RFI, meeting with residents, or coordinating with a utility provider, our role is to be an extension of City staff, enforcing RCMU’s standards/plans/ specifications, protecting RCMU’s assets, ensuring that public funds are appropriately spent in accordance with the project requirements. NV5 believes our involvement will bring added value to RCMU both in the field and in the office.
NV5 takes this a step further by formulating and
implementing a proactive public relations program and a concerted effort to manage expectations, assure safety, and build goodwill, focusing on transparency and minimizing disruption. NV5’s careful attention to detail with documented construction inspection and detailed construction
management will minimize or eliminate RCMU’s exposure to claims. With NV5, RCMU will gain not only technical depth, but also a collaborative mindset, engineering expertise, and a consistent, professional presence.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
NV5’s team of expert construction managers will become
a collaborative part of RCMU’s team in managing the
construction contractor. At NV5, construction management includes contract review, constructability review of plans and specifications, receiving/logging/tracking/responding to RFIs and submittals. An important element is also review of the Contractor’s baseline construction schedule for critical path as well as monthly construction updates and three weeks look ahead schedule reviews. Validation of change orders for entitlement as well as reasonableness of labor/materials/ equipment as well as time-impact against the critical path.
The elements of Construction including RFI’s/change orders/ inspectors daily reports/ weekly statement of working days/ and many more elements of Construction Management are
also logged in our document control center CMIS, which is free for RCMU to use on any NV5 project.
Cost control comes in the form of internal to NV5 managing our own contract with RCMU, as well as managing external cost control for RCMU’s Contractor to see to it that the construction is completed within the as-bid amount with validated change orders. At NV5, Contractor’s progress
payments are first validated for completed quantities
that month by the inspector, followed by validation by the Construction Manager for the remainder of the payment
application math including retention. Finally, NV5 will act as a liaison between the contractor, RCMU’s engineer of record, other agencies, and City staff.
COMMUNICATION AND MEETINGS
Our construction support team will be the point of contact for project correspondence and communication between
RCMU, the contractor, the design team and other project stakeholders. Our team will be in constant communication with RCMU’s project manager, making sure he or she has
updated information on project status, as well as any on-site or any contractual issues. NV5 can host pre-construction meetings, progress meetings, as well as other meetings such as integration meetings, startup and testing meetings, tie-in meetings including agenda and minutes to be distributed within 2 days of the meeting. NV5’s regular construction meetings held with City Staff, Engineer (as needed) the Contractor, Construction Manager, Inspector, typically
discuss safety, three week look ahead, community public relations, payment applications, weekly statement of working days, submittals, RFI’s, change orders and other items as needed to effectively mange the construction project.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Our construction support services team gives considerable attention to monitoring project schedules. We will coordinate, review and make recommendations for changes to the
Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule generated by the
contractor. As changes or discrepancies occur between the CPM schedule and as-built conditions, the contractor must implement corrective action and delays detailed out in a time-impact-analysis to validate the Contractor’s claim in schedule delays. We will review the contractor’s baseline schedule and monthly schedule updates to assure that the Contractor’s working schedule accurately reflects as-built conditions to date protecting RCMU from unsubstantiated time delays and time extension claims by the Contractor.

5.2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
COST CONTROL AND REPORTING
Cost control is a key element to successfully delivering a project and must be thoroughly integrated with other control methods (scope change control, schedule control and quality control) to assure that RCMU receives full value for funds earmarked for the project. Key elements of our cost control program include establishment of our internal budget as well as and maintenance of both our internal project budget and the Contractor’s bid. NV5 also offers value engineering and constructability reviews of project plans and specifications as an added value to ensure buildability and protection against unforeseen change orders that may be hidden in the project plans and specifications.
NV5 will additionally vet owner-requested or contractorgenerated changes first for entitlement, and second for validity of the costs including markup. Thorough a thorough review and evaluation of change order cost proposals,
close monitoring of force account work, including regular maintenance of a change order log, NV5 is able to protect RCMU against and mitigate unforeseen costs related to
the project. These and other items are often provided in a monthly status report to include work accomplished during the reporting period, work to be completed during the
next reporting period, budget and schedule status, and a summary of issues and concerns pending resolution.
DBE/SBE, GRANT AND LOAN COMPLIANCE
NV5 can provide labor compliance services to ensure
that federal and state prevailing wages regulations and requirements are performed/paid during the project’s
construction in compliance with Section 1770 et seq. and Davis-Bacon, State and Federal Funding, DBE/SBE, and
related requirements. NV5 understands that compliance
means adhering to strict federal and state regulations, particularly for projects funded by the US DOT, SRF, or EPA. Compliance requires maintaining certified vendor
participation (e.g., UCP database), passing good-faith effort (GFE) reviews, fulfilling reporting mandates, and avoiding the loss or delay of essential funding. This starts with the constructability review of RCMU’s front end bid specifications, where grant and loan requirements must be passed down to the Contractor at bid time.
During construction, specific grant and loan documents
require monthly submission with quarterly reports to the funding agency and NV5 can manage those activities for
RCMU. NV5 can assist RCMU to ensure maintenance of
complete record keeping including financial files (invoices, cancelled checks, contracts) and bidders lists throughout the duration of the grant or loan period.
INSPECTION QUALITY ASSURANCE AND
QUALITY CONTROL
To assure compliance with the plans and specifications, we will implement a comprehensive inspection quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program involving the following steps:
• We will perform a review of the contract documents. This responsibility typically includes the following tasks:
◦ Checking plans and specifications against
requirements that have been associated with issues
that occurred on similar jobs.
◦ Comparing existing elevations, grades and details,
etc., shown on plans with those at the actual site.
◦ Reporting errors, omissions and deficiencies, etc.,
to our Construction Manager, City, and engineering
design team for resolution.
◦ Keeping a marked-up set of plans and specifications
for quick reference.
◦ Anticipating the Contractor’s operations by reviewing the plans and specifications for each one before it
begins.
◦ Advance notification and coordination with City staff regarding key construction elements such as tie-ins,
shutdowns, startups, etc.
◦ NV5 will manage the Contractor’s advance
notification and coordination with other agencies
which could include other utility agencies, SCRRA,
BNSF, UUPR, adjacent cities, law enforcement
including City/CHP/Sheriff, Fire department, Transit,
Caltrans, County of San Bernardino or other City
departments.
• Before starting construction, we will discuss with the Contractor the definable features of work to assure that documentation is complete, materials are on hand and
those who are to perform the work, and the Contractor
and our inspectors understand the scope in its entirety including any permit requirements.
City of Rancho Cucamonga Various On-Call Services| PP26826-0018464.00 NV5.COM | 2
5.2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
• We will assure that the Contractor has an established safety program and that regular safety meetings are
conducted. We will also assure that the Contractor meets OSHA safety requirements.
• The construction inspector will perform follow-up
inspections on a daily basis for the purpose of assuring that the controls established during the initial inspection continue to provide work that conforms to the contract
requirements and applicable standards. Unsatisfactory
workmanship, materials and construction deficiencies
will be documented and reported immediately for future
identification and traceability. Notices of non-compliance will be issued to the Contractor and corrective and
preventive action will be taken to assure compliance with the contract documents.
• Our inspectors will conduct a monthly review of the asbuilt drawings and ensure that items are considered in the changes of the record drawings, including:
◦ The size, type and location of existing and new utility lines
◦ The layout and schematic drawings of electrical
circuits and piping
◦ Verification of alignment and cross sections
◦ Changes in the location of equipment, etc.
• NV5’s inspectors will review and approve the Contractor’s payment application for quantity validation prior to
being passed onto our Construction Manager for final
verification and recommendation to RCMU.
• Finally, we will review and approve the Contractor’s asbuilt drawings to complete the project turnover, filing the Notice of Completion, and begin the warranty period.
• NV5’s inspectors will utilize CMIS or RCMU’s approved documentation system for maintaining their daily
reports (Journals) which include labor and equipment
for DIR labor verification, detailed written description of work performed, visitors to the site, deficiencies, time and material construction activities, and other items
complete with photographs. At NV5, Inspectors Daily
Reports are done daily.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Our construction support services team is well-versed in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements and experienced in implementing best
management practices. We will monitor the implementation, maintenance and any required modification of the approved Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Water
Quality Management Plan (WQMP). In the event that the
project specifications for developing the SWPPP or WQMP are inadequate and cannot support the project needs or meet current NPDES requirements, we will work closely with the design consultants to incorporate the required provisions into the project specifications to meet these goals. Our team includes Qualified SWPPP Developers and Qualified SWPPP Practitioners.
WEB-BASED DOCUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM
NV5 is adaptable and can either utilize RCMU’s inspection software our web-based CMIS software that is custom
designed to provide the Construction Manager and RCMU
the capability to manage project information efficiently and effectively while maintaining full transparency to RCMU and to the design engineer in managing the construction contractor. NV5’s CMIS is available for use on NV5 projects, if authorized by RCMU to use for use with any project that NV5 is working on. What makes our system unique is that CMIS was designed and developed by Construction Managers
with collaboration from private and public agencies. NV5’s Construction Manager and inspector will have the realtime CMIS web-based software installed on their iPads and laptops, which can also be utilized on any device with internet access, including iPhone and Android mobile devices.
The CMIS system is transparent to RCMU, who can log in
and view at any time the Inspector’s Daily Reports, QA/QC Material reports, submittals, RFIs, correspondence, change orders, automated logs of submittals and RFIs, Working Day Statements, Contractor’s Pay Apps with DIR submissions and apprentice requirements documentation, and NV5 Inspection reports from any laptop, computer, iPad, iPhone, or Android device at any time. Additionally, our inspectors will send out supplementary email blasts noting elements of significance performed, along with photographs for a quick glance of work, enabling RCMU staff to immediately be up to date. At the end of the project, the data within the CMIS website will be downloaded for archival within 60 calendar days of the Notice of Completion.
Additionally, our inspectors can send out supplementary email blasts noting elements of significance performed, along with photographs for a quick glance of work, enabling City staff/Engineers to immediately be up to date.

5.2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PUBLIC
OUTREACH
Our first line of customer service comes from our inspectors and Construction Managers. Our staff know the value of
maintaining great relations with residents, business owners and anyone affected by a project, and they have proven to be a valuable resource in appeasing public concerns and resolving field issues. Our goal is to handle public relations in the field with the inspector, and while keeping RCMU fully informed of the issues field management of public relations keeps these issues from escalating to RCMU Manager,
Mayor, or City Council levels.
An effective and informative public outreach program that informs affected residents, property owners and motorists about construction impacts and possible traffic delays is critical to the success of any project.
Key elements of our public outreach program include:
• Active listening to public concerns with follows-up by our Construction Inspectors and Construction Managers in
the field.
• Keeping RCMU informed of public concerns immediately
when they become evident during construction.
• Verbal and written notifications in advance of work
typically distributed by the Contractor in advance of work that affects the distribution area.
• Informational flyers about the project when required by our scope of work.
• Verbal/in-person communication follow-up to ease public concerns, enabling residents and business to prepare for any anticipated impact and address any public concerns.

They regularly provide project specification conformance oversight, working closely with either TRC in-house engineering, owner-provided engineering, or third-party engineers, assuring that construction specifications are met and that materials and products provided are acceptable. TRC inspectors routinely works with project engineers and constructors to provide an on-site, proactive service that minimizes project issues such as changing field conditions, unforeseen existing conditions, alternate materials applications and final conformance with the specification and contract intent. TRC Inspectors have the ability to administer the TRC
QA/QC program related to the specific discipline, or act as the owner's representative in the administration of an owner's required QA/QC program. Programs administered range in intensity from nuclear power plant in-house programs to simple materials inspection for small, municipal clients.
We can also provide storm/emergency outage services, which include "wire down" location services, right-of-way and structure inspections, and substation equipment condition inspections. Teaming with TRC emergency design resources, quick, safe solutions can be provided for any situation, greatly aiding the utility and their customers.
Representative Utility Experience
Our capacity to manage high-volume, critical infrastructure projects is demonstrated through our ongoing partnerships with major utilities:
DFJV High Speed Rail Relocations (HSR): Delivered comprehensive construction management services for a high-speed rail program spanning 750 miles, including a 65-mile design-build segment with 120+ structures, resolving over 120 utility conflicts, and managing material procurement, storage, and controlled issuance to support corridor-wide relocations and interfaces.

Years of Work 2018 - Present 2025 - 2026
Brief Description of
Scope Performed
Performed detailed design and estimating work
for PG&E’s wildfire hardening program.
Deliverables included, complete estimate of labor
and materials, Pole loading calculations (PLC),
Cable Pull Calculations (CPC) CMCS (Circuit
Map Change Sheets), Key Sketches, detailed
construction sketches, Voltage drop/flicker
calculations, SCI (short circuit current) analysis,
plan and profile sheets and complete field survey
data for the required design work.
This project involved transferring load from
circuit C233 to C1023, incorporating both
underground and overhead components. To
accommodate the increased capacity on circuit
C1023, 16 spans of primary conductor were
upgraded to larger aluminum conductors, and
10 wood poles were replaced with steel poles to
meet SDG&E's fire hardening standards. Poles
were analyzed using PLS-CADD SAPS L4 finite
element analysis with LiDAR data. Key
deliverables included the PLS-CADD model,
pole loading calculations, construction drawings,
and labor/material estimates.
The underground scope focused on updating
circuit and facility maps to reflect the transfer of
C233 to C1023, including retagging structures
with the new circuit ID. Deliverables included
updated Summary Operating Maps,
Underground Circuit Maps, and labor/material
estimates. Overhead field data collection was
conducted by TRC using IKE survey, while
underground data collection was supported by
SDG&E QEWs.
Coordination with SDG&E Land Services
ensured compliance with land use restrictions
for new pole locations, while collaboration with
SDG&E environmental and archaeological
teams addressed potential impacts on the
environment and Native American cultural sites.

Years of Work 2021 - Present
Brief Description of
Scope Performed
Performed full-scale engineering and estimating work for over 3500 new customer connection work orders. Each work order comprises performing load analysis on distribution level transformers to ensure overall voltage drop and flicker values stayed within limits when new load from new customers are added to the secondary line and transformers. If the new load fails voltage drop/flicker limits, full engineering work is performed to ensure voltage drop/flicker values remain within limits. Engineering work involves, splitting load into new transformers, installing new poles and secondary wires as needed, estimating labor and material costs, construction sketches, CMCS (Circuit Map Change Sheets), installing safety devices such as fuses, switches etc. and performing PLC (pole loading calculations) on new poles. These work orders were both overhead, underground, and at times a combination of both. Additionally, coordination with PG&E’s land survey and permitting departments were required to ensure easements and proper permits were in place before construction.
