In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Co urt, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, Eastern Division.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with Page-14

If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any b reach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or Services by Consultant shall not constit ute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non- defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive i n this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, t ake over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set -off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

SECTION B – Firm’s Qualifications, Experience, and Background
1. Firm Profile
PreScience, a Bureau Veritas Co. (PSC) will serve as the Prime Consultant for this contract. PSC traces its lineage to Lim And Nascimento (LAN) Engineering founded in 1994. Peter Lim, PE; Peter Ho, PE; Elmo Delos Santos, PE; and Chuck Tran, PE were the founding principals of LAN Engineering Construction Services with core practice in highway/bridge and r ail/transit design, as well as construction management of highway/bridge and rail projects. Together, they successfully established LAN as one of the largest bridge/rail/transit construction engineering consulting firms in California with a solid reputation for working closely with owners and project stakeholders to successfully deliver projects with a high level of c ommunity acceptance. At the time of the LAN/AECOM merger in 2009, the firm had more than 200 construction professionals.
In March 2011, the former LAN principals established PSC, a California corporation, following the same founding principle of placing the interests of our clients and the projects we serve above everyth
ing else. PSC firmly believes that people – not companies – deliver success projects. We therefore place the right people with the right experience, dedication, and proven track record on every project we undertake. We do not subscribe to the “big‐box store” business model prevalent in today’s A&E industry and do no t fill boxes on an organization chart with unobtainable names. Instead, who you see is who you’ll get, meaning that the engineering professionals proposed for a project are those who will run it.

4. Organization Chart
While its essential for a firm to have credentials and resources, assigning the right personnel at the right time to match project needs is critical. To successfully provide staff for multiple contracts simultaneously, we implement ‘Best Practices’ for project assignments, an example of which is the PreScience Staffing Plan. It incorporates and tracks the assignment and availability of every employee in the company and also includes a list of upcoming staff needs. Our primary focus for this project will be staffing stability — the ability to identify, deploy and maintain key as well as supporting staff as‐needed throughout the project lifecycle. To identify the most qualified personnel and determine their level of engagement for the on‐call contract, we developed an understanding of the project needs, scope, and its objectives. This enabled us to not only select the most qualified individuals for key personnel roles on the project, but also ensure depth and adequacy of support and as‐needed staff.
Utilizing the information made available by the City and our experience from recently completed or ongoing relevant projects, we developed a conceptual construction schedule. To assess resource demands, we prepared a Staffing Plan corresponding to the construction schedule. Based on a combination of PreScience’s Staffing Plan, the list of available subconsultant personnel and the project staffing plan, we identified individuals with sound educational background, job‐specific skillset, track record of relevant experience and most importantly their availability , to develop the Organization Chart.
This methodical approach of matching resources with project needs will ensure staffing stability, provide alternatives for incidental support staff replacement and result in continuity and high‐ quality services.
The versatile and efficient PreScience team, is comprised of cross‐trained, multi‐tasking individuals committed to accomplish project goals and committed for its entire duration. By staffing strategically and leveraging the versatile expertise of the personnel proposed, our objective is to reduce CM costs. As an example, our proposed construction manager Jose Burbano, PE, QSD, in addition to being a construction manager, has a strong structure construction background and is capable of performing Structure Representative duties, whereas moist of the proposed construction inspectors have assistant resident engineering experience, can perform office engineering as well as structure construction, civil, and traffic inspection.

SECTION C – Understanding On-Call Construction Management, Inspection, and Materials Testing Services
1. Project Work Plan and Methodology
1.A. Task Order Approach
The task order process will start with City issuing a task order assignment and, in response, PreScience will prepare a technical proposal with: a scope of services, a list of deliverables, a delivery schedule, a breakdown of proposed work, and a cost proposal in accordance with standard City procedures. All responses will use City's templates for preparation of individual task orders, providing standardized submittals and cost‐cutting process efficiency.
1.B. Task Order Scope, Schedule, and Fee Development
PreScience conducts all consulting services by adhering to clearly defined contractual and technical procedures that ensure traceability and accuracy at every step. We will carefully review each task order to ensure that specific and unique requirements are identified in advance and that the most appropriate, qualified staff members are assigned to provide services that lead to innovative and sustainable solutions. Project Management procedures will be utilized to ensure accountability, using a variety of tools to keep all tasks on schedule and within authorized budgets.
Upon receipt of a task order for a specific project from the City, PSC’s Project Manager, Peter Lim will review the specific elements of each task order and assess in‐house and subconsultant technical resources for suitability and availability. Mike and key personnel will gather project information; determine key issues; conduct a site visit, if appropriate; and coordinate with the City’s Project and Task Order managers to confirm the scope of work (SOW) and identify deliverables and the required technical documents. In coordination with the City, NCM will then prepare a technical SOW, a task order‐specific schedule, and fee proposal for review and consideration by the City. The rates used is per the rate schedule previously approved by the City for the contract.
The schedule will indicate the start and completion dates of all anticipated work elements appropriate for the scope and anticipated duration, and it will be updated monthly, or as‐ needed, to show critical path activities, predecessor and successor relationships, overall progress, and percent completion by subtask.
1.C. Managing and Delivering Task Orders
PSC shall provide all construction management‐related services necessary in accordance with project task orders issued by the City, as needed.
Our scope of services shall include, without limitation, the services set forth in this section and parallel the services defined by the contract.
In the course of every project, there
can always be issues that may arise which can have potentially serious impacts on costs and / or schedules if not addressed appropriately and early in the project timeline. As noted, such issues should be anticipated and addressed during the final design process or prior to the beginning of construction, before advertisement, via constructability review(s). It is strongly suggested to allow for a 95% final design review followed by a constructability review prior to advertisement and award; or no later than the NTP / pre‐construction conference. A pre‐bid review of the contract documents is an option but would need to be addressed with the City and the contractor.
It will be the responsibility of PSC’s CM / RE and assigned Project Inspectors for each contract to recognize any issues should they arise, in as practicable a manner as possible and manage effectively as soon as possible. We will effectively communicate our concerns to the City and the
design team immediately so that corrective steps are taken to minimize construction impacts or delay. We feel that our team’s outstanding understanding of City processes, stakeholder relationships, experience with similar project management and procedures on this type of project(s) provides us with an excellent foundation for anticipating potential problems and developing solutions in partnership with the City.
Such issues would be best addressed prior to the approval of final PS&E for both and no later than the NTP or at the pre‐construction meetings and / or at the early stages of construction:
PSC Team has completed more than
100+ task orders for Caltrans, and
Counties and Cities in the Southern
California in the last 3 years. We will
draw on this experience that benefits
the City.
PSC's background and
extensive experience on On‐
Call Projects in Southern
California will ensure timely
delivery of task orders on
schedule and within budget.

Scope of Services
PSC’s scope of services covers construction management and / or inspection services for the City of Los Angeles Public Works Department. Our team will work under the direction of designated City staff to construct a safe, quality project(s) on time and within budget. Our construction management and inspection staff are well‐trained to support our outlined approach. PSC’s comprehensive construction services to the City include providing expert staff to support the City in the following areas:
Safety
Quality Assurance
Effective Communication
Environmental and Project Stakeholder Stewardship
Labor Compliance Reviews
Pre‐Construction Services
Construction Services
Post‐Construction Services
Claims Suppression
Federal Funding Compliance
We have available a comprehensive roster of highly qualified staff that includes a Project Manager, Construction Manager / Resident Engineers, Bridge / Structure, Roadway, Civil and Electrical Inspectors, a SWPPP Coordinator and Construction Administration OE and Public Outreach staff to supplement the City’s resources. Our ORGANIZATION CHART ‐ shown in Section B ‐ and staff’s experience, includes staff that will be available to the City. Our specific planned approach and scope of services will generally follow the tasks as outlined below and can be modified to tailor the specific needs on the project based on each task as acceptable to the City.
Effective Communications
It is our goal to provide the City with the means to request construction support services and have that work take place in a timely, efficient manner. The process will be streamlined and effective to make it easy for the City to contract for services needed. Project Manager, Peter Lim, PE, will maintain close contact with the City to look ahead and plan for the City’s Task Order requirements. We understand that while the City aims to plan out its needed resources from time‐to‐time, emergency or last‐minute requests for staff could arise. We are prepared to respond to all requests for staff quickly and with the best staff to fit the requirements.
Task Order Assignment Methodology
Peter Lim, PE, will be the primary point‐of‐contact with the City and the focal point for PSC resources. PSC’s Team collectively has decades of experience working with public agency construction management and related services. Prior to the start of work, PSC will tailor our standard Construction Manager Procedural Manual (Project Manual) to be responsive to the City and compliant with the CT‐LAPM and project funding requirements through our Quality Control Process led by Peter Lim, PE. The Project Manual will set out how the team intends to perform the work and will include the following elements:
Clearly defined management roles and responsibilities
Interface with the City and participatory stakeholders Overall public communication protocols
Contact information
Quality control procedures
RFP #22-048 - On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services 25 |
Project management and inspection procedures
Invoicing format
Project documentation procedures
Safety procedures
Reporting standards and guideline
Task orders will be used to define the way work will be staffed and performed, how and when the staff is assigned, what
deliverables will be required, the task schedule and budget, and the parameters for monitoring performance.
Construction Services Coordination
PSC will assume all designated duties and oversight on behalf of the City, coordinating all inspection and testing activities for the assigned contract. PSC typically involves the project manager, resident engineer, and / or assigned project roadway or bridge inspector early in the contract to organize and set the preliminary process for exe cution, administration and documentation of the project. We anticipate preliminary meetings with City representatives will begin shortly after receiving the Notice of Award of contract, and we will be able to begin mobilization of personnel and begin planning and staging of projects in a timely manner.
Task Order Approach
Unquestionably, we see ourselves as an extension of the City’s staff and consequently our mission is to meet the City’s needs at every level. The City will benefit from our prior and current on‐call construction engineering, inspection and CPM scheduling services contracts where we provide construction professionals ranging from Office E ngineers to Range B/C, Range D, Principal Assistant RE (Senior) Engineers. Based on our recent positive feedback from Caltrans REs, Seniors, ACMs and Office Chiefs and Caltrans Contract Managers (04A4256, 59A0894, 59A0841 and 59A1000) we will continue to utilize our current high performing staffing work plan while continuously looking for ways to bet ter ourselves to be the consultant of choice for the City. We have refined our approach and have broken the implementation down into four phases of the task assigned. In the first phase, initiating and planning, we will continue to work closely with the City’s Project Managers to identify staffin g requirements, unique aspects, schedule, budget, and acceptance of consultant personnel. During the second phase, staffing, execution and controlling, we will ensure the continuity of our staff that will be working on the City’s task orders (TO) and then we will continue to maintain regular contact throughout each task order, to ke ep abreast of personnel needs, to provide guidance and continuous training and support to our assigned personnel, and to monitor and assure their performance met or exceed the City’s expectations at every level. The third phase will be continuous checking, evaluating and improving our high‐performance service. Not only highly quali fied and trained personnel (right people for the right job) is a prerequisite for success but we must not overlook the importance of accurate accounting/budgeting and timely progress reporting and invoicing for each TOs. The administration task of TO budgeting/accounting is to ensure continuous monitoring of the status of the construction projects, wh ereby underutilized funds in the TO are timely accounted for and transferred out from the TO. The final phase will be the closeout of the task order, where we will ensure the TO is done timely and accurately. We have consistently received positive feedback from Caltrans Seniors, Office Chiefs, Resident En gineers, ACMs, Structures Reps, as well as Contract Managers and other project staff, on the effectiveness of this approach.
Along with monitoring and assuring performance of our staff, key elements of managing the contract will be budget tracking, staffing forecasts, and timely progress reporting. We will work closely with the Ci ty’s Project Manager to establish report and information tracking formats that will provide the management information necessary for oversight of our contract and budget status, and will not be different than our past and current Caltrans contracts. This approach will enable us to assist the City in managing the interaction of the four ele ments of any project through its lifecycle: Experience Personnel ▪ Knowledge of Processes ▪ Responsiveness ▪ Right PM Tools.
The following is a brief outline of our typical approach and scope of work. The duties and responsibilities are broken down into three (3) distinct task areas: 1) Pre‐construction Services; 2) Construction Mana gement Services during Construction; and, 3) Post Construction Services (Closeout) as shown on the sample plan on the next page:

RFP #22-048 - On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services 27 |
Task 1‐ Pre‐construction Services
Pre‐Construction Documentation – PSC shall review drawings and specifications to ensure completeness and clarity. Prior to breaking ground, PSC’s RE/SR or Construction Inspector shall use digital equipment to photograph and video the entire project including surrounding properties to develop an “as‐is” condition record. The entire project shall have photos and video taken weekly.
Pre‐Construction Meeting – The team will attend a pre‐construction conference with the contractor and subcontractors to discuss the work involved, safety issues and to address issues that need to be discussed and resolved before work commences. During this conference, we will provide environmental awareness training regarding regulatory agency compliance measures.
We will prepare and distribute a c omprehensive environmental compliance handout and associated checklist to ensure that contractors working onsite are aware of the primary issues of concern and the measures required. This compliance handout will contain field forms, including daily logs, phone records, emergency / action item forms, non‐compliance reports and a lis t of emergency contacts, agencies and phone numbers for distribution to PSC personnel and posting at the site.
Construction Meetings – During the coordination and pre‐construction conference, the City, contractor and PSC representative(s) will agree on scheduling of construction meetings to review progress, status and budget. These meetings will provide data and input for future decision‐making and alert the project principals of potential problems or deviations from the project budget, sc hedule or construction.
Contract Documents – As an extension and continuation of the pre‐construction plan checks, we will utilize our field inspectors and project personnel to ensure compliance with the established specifications, material selection and contract requirements and implementation. Our resident engineers, construction manager(s), office engineers and / or construction inspectors (roadway and bridge) to be assi gned are all experienced in the types of projects outlined in your RFP and CIP plus familiar with the requirements of various funding programs. Our project records shall be kept in accordance with CT‐LAPM and City requirements in which utilize the Category File Management System.
Progress Reports – We will compile and prepare weekly and monthly progress reports from daily field observations and inspections. Our inspection team will use a daily diary; daily digital photos will be recorded and archived as project documents. PSC’s monthly reports will contain schedule progress, budget issues, phases of construction completed and potential problems that might affect the sch edule. Finally, the reports will contain the projected schedule and anticipation of work for the next reporting period.
Stakeholder Coordination – Close schedule control and monitoring will assist in coordination with the utilities to work at the best times to affect utility service. Also, close identification of utility supply lines, cables or other associated items must be clear and accurate in order to avoid unforeseen accidents or damage to these ut ility items. Depending on the data gathered from the utility, plans can be made to schedule work in such a way as to minimize the impact to the delivery of services for each utility. Other stakeholder coordination will be implemented through a robust public outreach plan for project notifications and update to loca l residences and businesses.
Task 2‐ Construction Management Services during Construction Quality Control – The development and evolution of our QC Plan is designed to be used on numerous projects to conform to both Caltrans and FHWA requirements and is designed to mirror the FHWA audit process. PSC thus focuses on quality control and assurance in three main areas during construction on all projects:
Quality control and quality assurance for materials used in projects and incorporating materials with all applicable specifications Contract administration and documentation quality control Construction safety
The PSC Team will assure quality by adhering to the City’s guidelines, addressing soils testing, aggregates, asphalt and other construction materials. Pay quantity documents are checked to ensure proper calculation. Pay quantity documents will be compared to material release forms to ensure that payment is made only for the re leased material amount. Contract change order payments will be checked to assure they concur with the change order.
RFP #22-048 - On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

Additionally, our corporate quality assurance/quality control representative, Chuck Tran, PE will visit projects periodically to check diaries and pay quantity documents. These diaries are checked for complete information, which is an important tool in confirming the contractor’s work is compliant with the contract, avoiding claims and protecting the City or other affected stakeholder(s).
Shop Drawings – Drawings will be compared for compliance to the accepted standards established for the project and submitted for approval from the appropriate party, including the City, regulatory agency, designer or other engineering consultants.
Project Submittals – Concise and clearly indicated documents will be established and maintained for any and all project submittals. These submittals will be closely reviewed and compared to established specifications and standards for the project. On any given project, there are project‐specific items that will anticipate many submittals including the environmental and permitting portions of the project. All preparation of these submittals will be written with close coordination of the City, appropriate consultant or affected agency.
Construction Inspection – PSC inspectors have experience providing on‐call and project‐specific inspection of transportation and infrastructure projects for counties, cities, Caltrans, transportation agencies and other municipalities throughout the state. All inspectors will be fully briefed on the project, key environmental constraints and requirements, and the construction objectives. Our construction engineers and inspectors ensure compliance with contract documents and safety regulations on transportation and other infrastructure projects.
Our inspection support work includes earthwork, excavation, pavement rehabilitation, improvements and / or overlays, grading, paving repair, electrical, landscaping, pavement delineation, retaining walls, seismic rehabilitation, transmission pipelines, storm drainage, utilities, traffic signals and electrical items, form work, reinforcing and structural steel, concrete placement, and various bridge improvements. Our construction engineers have extensive experience with submittals, contract change orders, pay estimates, and as‐built drawings.
Additionally, they are cognizant of critical airport operations and work with all team members to ensure these operations are not disrupted.
Our specialty inspectors are also trained in QSP and / or QSD, ICBO, ICC, OSHPD, OSHA, and Cal / OSHA 10‐hour.
Materials Testing – PSC shall implement the City’s pre‐approved Quality Assurance testing program and the Caltrans Construction Manual for the assigned project. The resident engineer shall be responsible for supervising and coordinating the materials testing program. Material test results will be reviewed, logged and filed within the projects FHWA approved filing system. Any failed tests shall be addressed and corrected with the contractor and appropriate correction measures will be taken and doccumented. A passed test willl be coordinated with the inspector, to allow the contractor to proceed.
Testing shall be performed by subconsultant, Alta Vista Solutions, that will provide Caltrans certified technicians and testing lab. Sampling and testing activities shall be conducted in accordance with the City Quality Assurance Plan. Shop inspection shall be based on the fabrication schedule of the contractor’s fabricator. Consultant’s RE/SR shall coordinate directly with the fabricator’s QC Manager throughout fabrication.

Source Inspection – PSC is ready to support the City with any ICC field welding or source inspection needs that may be required on a project.
PSC has more than 15 inspectors and 10 engineers with current or past experience at working as consultants to the Caltrans Office of Structural Materials as welding ins pectors, source inspectors and / or Structural Materials Representatives (SMRs).
Traffic Control – The Traffic Plan and Control procedures will be reviewed by the construction manager / resident engineer in coordination with the assigned lead inspector. The continuous and safe movement of traffic through the specific project corridor and adjacent connecting city, county, rural, agricultural and /or public roads during construction fo r both AM and PM traffic, will be incorporated into the staging efforts and follow the MUTCD. This effort should include assessment of any haul and delivery routes, farming access, maintaining emergency vehicle access at all times, ingress / egress to the project, pedestrian travel, detours or delays that may affect pub lic or business safety and convenience. Safe and continuous travel through any of the affected corridor(s) must be ensured at all times, taking into consideration a wide variety of factors and users such as, school children, commuters, ranchers / farmers, equestrian, tourists, seasonal variations, de livery schedules, business access and adjacent residential flows. Traffic flows for both vehicular and pedestrian of adjacent local streets and trails will be monitored continuously over the course of construction and adjustments made as necessary in order to minimize or avoid localized impacts. Prescience will assure that all temporary s triping & lighting does not affect the local motoring public or existing traffic patterns.
Specific review and oversight work will typically include:
Review and analyze the project Traffic Management Plan during pre‐construction review of the PS&E. Review staging plans and make recommendations for amendments, if needed. Coordinate with City staff and contractor to review the project and contractor’s baseline schedule to identify conflicts with the staging, haul routes, business activities, public safety and traffic management plans. Review the traffic management plan and staging plan for potential conflicts with adjacent or nearby projects that are under construction and / or with emergency vehicular accesses and recommend revisions to the project construction baseline schedules, as necessary.
Safety – We recommend adopting a safety program that establishes a protection performance goal for the City construction management engineering services. In the event of accidents, our staff will record, photograph and document the mishap and follow procedures to notify all proper agencies and authorities. In addition, we will be responsible for the enforc ement of all state and federal regulations for construction activities including those identified in the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, and ensuring we are in compliance with the LAPM.
PSC has extensive experience in developing and implementing project safety plans. Much of our experience is based on Caltrans requirements that consist of re gular safety meetings and training. We will be responsible for the enforcement of all state and federal regulations for construction activities including those identified in the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, and ensuring we follow Chapter 16 of the CT‐LAPM. PSC recommends that we and the Ci ty collectively:
Provide the project with guidelines for uniform safety system implementation that ensures strict compliance with statutory requirements
Strive to eliminate personal injury and property damage, thus eliminating human suffering and reducing monetary loss Establish communication lines, responsibility, and accountability for the safety system Develop safety policies for areas and activities not covered by federal, state, or local standards

The PSC Team can assist with safety program development and contract surveillance, as needed. The PSC Construction Health and Safety Manual are available for use. It defines PSC’s guidelines for developing site‐specific safety procedures and implementing compliance and enforcement stages of the safety program. Proposed PSC staff members completed an in‐house safety training program. Every 10 days, we will convene a safety tailgate meeting. Meeting minutes will be maintained in the project files. The traveling public’s safety through construction zones and detour routes will remain PSC’s priority. Our construction personnel will review detours and partial closures to make sure signs are clear, merging distances and lighting during night operations is adequate and safe bike and pedestrian access is provided, where necessary.
Change Orders – No change order will be issued to the contractor without the City’s prior approval. For any changes made within a City or Caltrans ROW, all change orders will be submitted to the respective agency in coordination with the City for their review and approval prior to issuance to the contractor.
The Construction manager / resident engineer will prepare a “Finding of Fact” statement that details the reason for the change or claim, chronology of events, schedule impacts, cost estimating and documents supporting the change or claim for distribution within the CCO package.
Claims Avoidance / Management – Should issues arise requiring a claim to be filed, the project manager or assigned resident engineer or project Inspector will review the merits of the claim and advise the City accordingly of such, if warranted. In the event of a dispute, our staff will always pursue resolutions in the best interest of the City, which is fair and will prevent further claim and / or subsequent litigation. Constant communication between the project manager / resident engineer or assigned Inspector and the contractor’s representative will help to prevent the further risk of claims and greatly minimize the owner’s risk. Most of the claims that arise should be resolved at the jobsite. We will prepare all documentation necessary for use in dispute resolution hearings.
Progress Payments – The project manager, resident engineer or assigned project inspector will provide the overall administration management for the construction management team commensurate on their assigned responsibility, with the specific responsibilities for administration, preparation, and approval of the construction contractor’s monthly pay application in accordance with the contract documents and City procedures. The project manager, resident engineer or assigned project inspector will prepare quantities and estimates of work carried out before the 20th day of each month and recommend approval to the City. Cost accounting records such as progress payments and CCO status will be kept in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance procedures for consistency and audit.
Documentation of Quantities – The construction management team will maintain a complete and documented electronic set of records for each contract pay item in accordance with the approved schedule of values. It shall include all necessary data to support the respective quantity installed and paid to date. The pay records which can be subject to audit, will be maintained in a neat, orderly manner and kept up to date at all times.
The construction management team will file monthly pay estimate forms and contractor monthly request‐for‐payment forms in pay folders for each month. For example, the backup information for each pay item will be filed in Category 48, “Contract items.” The construction management team will then be able to go to Category 48 to research individual histories for each item. The construction management team is responsible for having at least one pay sheet per item per month as work proceeds.
Schedule Control (Construction Management Responsibilities) – The project manager, construction manager/ resident engineer or assigned project inspector will review the contractor’s baseline schedule and monthly updates using the latest version of Primavera P6 and Claim Digger software. The review and acceptance of the contractor’s progress schedule is for compliance with the requirements of the contract documents only. Project schedule review activities include:
Baseline schedule reviews
Stakeholder coordination
Utility conflicts / relocations
Unforeseen conditions
Clearance issues / conflicts / safety issues
Environmental mitigation / permitting
Delays in procurement
Third Party coordination /cooperation
RFP #22-048 - On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services 31 |
The project manager, resident engineer or assigned project inspector will not allow the contractor to change future logic, activity durations, etc., in a monthly update. The only allowable changes to the schedule will be as‐built updates (Time Impact Analysis) allowed by contract provisions.
Weekly Statement of Working Days will be used to tr ack contract time.
Contract provisions hold the contractor to liquidated damage penalties for not finishing with the allocated time. The work shall be executed to completion in accordance with the specified schedule, subject to adjustment in accordance with the requirements of the contract documents
Budget Tracking – Our Cost and Budget Control Plan will include validating the assigned project budget, recognizing any uncertainty within the budget with line item contingencies, and providing descriptions of those uncertainties, all within a clear reporting structure.
Special attention will be given to value engineering from level prior to the final PS&E (or ad vertisement) and to potential cost drivers on the project. Equally important, after construction is awarded, the PSC Team will require the contractor to provide work plans for critical activities, as necessary, and will review each plan for optimal production, using techniques like early procurement, concurrent submittals, reduced submittal review times and c oncurrent construction activities.
We will continually track the progress of the work, including changes, and verify that the contractor’s invoices are accurate and complete through the tracking process. Furthermore, we will create various allowances for unanticipated issues. The PSC Team will keep the City and all affected stakeholders fully inf ormed of all changes through regular reports on the status of the project budget.
Labor Compliance – Labor Compliance and review of certified payroll shall be carried out by PSC’s Office Engineer who will review, track and organize certified payroll received from the contractor. PSC’s construction inspector shall provide assistance by conducting field interviews and record accurate diaries to identify worker classifications and hours on the project Public Information – PSC shall disseminate information on the construction schedule, driving safety, and possible detours to the affected communities and the traveling public. The RE/SR shall coordinate with the City’s Public Affairs Department to inform them of road detours and changes that may be necessary. The RE/SR shall assist in all future pub lic meetings as a forum for dissemination of information and proactive solutions prior to start of construction and during the course of construction.
QSD / QSP Water Quality Monitoring and SWPPP Support – PSC highly trained staff includes certified QSD / QSP certifications for water quality monitoring, oversight and SWPPP support as needed. The assigned QSD for the specific project will prepare a site‐specific Construction Site Monitoring Plan (CSMP) pursuant to the Construction General Permit (2009‐0009‐DWQ as amended by 2010‐00 41 ‐ DWQ). This work includes runoff and run‐on monitoring. Preparation of a Rain Event Action Plan (REAP) every time NOAA predicts a 50% chance or more of a storm event is also required.
PSC Team members have extensive understanding of the Construction General Permit (Order No. 2009‐0009‐ DWQ, NPD ES No. CAS000002).
Team members have implemented the Construction General Permit (CGP) from all perspectives and types of construction, giving PSC a well‐ rounded approach to stormwater compliance. We will review the Plans and Specifications per assigned task order or project, to determine the

appropriate Risk Level for potential sediment impacts. The daily monitoring of all construction activity is an important responsibility that must be effectively enforced at all times.
PSC can also assist the City for filing the NOI and NOT through the SMART system – the termination of the permit (NOT) is dependent on how the project is designed. Our QSP / QSD will provide the necessary guidance to meet these requirements.
Task 3 ‐ Post Construction Services (Closeout)
Final Inspection – Our key team members and local inspection team will conduct the final inspection of all construction and issue either via Deficiency or Final Punchlist of outstanding items necessary for completion or repair in effort to obtain acceptance of work. Developments and production of documents attesting to project conformance with plans, specifications and approved change orders will be completed and submitted to the City. We will also maintain communication and interaction with any affected regulatory agencies to ensure permits can be closed out with the respective permitting agencies.
Project Closeout – All applicable documents listed in the RFP will be prepared, inventoried, reviewed and submitted to the City for review and accepting. Should a project be federally, or state funded, PSC is familiar with Caltrans LAPM, Chapter 17 and will assist the City in completing all required forms to ensure full reimbursement for the project is obtained. Our core team members have executed project close out numerous times. The RE/SR shall prepare and submit the following documents in accordance with Chapter 17 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual:
Final Detail Estimate
Change Order Summary (Exhibit 17‐E)
Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantage Businesses and Women‐Owned Business Enterprises (Exhibit 17‐F) Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Certification Status Change (Exhibit 17‐O) Statement of Materials and Labor Used by Contractors Involving Federal Funds (Exhibit 17‐H) Materials Certificate (Exhibit 17‐G)
As‐Built Plans – We will coordinate the recording and compilation of a record set of as‐built drawings. We will provide a check on the drawings for completeness and accuracy, and make sure that the changes are properly noted and legible.
Contract Record Audits – PSC ensure the City that our construction management approach will satisfy any project record audit conducted either by the City and / or Caltrans. We follow CT‐LAPM Chapter 19 and conduct our own internal audit during (pre, during and post) construction phases.
Capability of Developing Innovative Techniques
PSC Team is always at the forefront of employing innovative techniques within the confines of applicable codes and standards. The innovation can be a product, a process, an idea or other avenues, which can be used in design and construction that results in a benefit or improvement over existing procedures.
In the ensuing paragraphs, we briefly present the experience profile of a few of PSC Team Members describing their capability of developing innovative or advance techniques.
Innovation Approach at during PS&E Development and CM. It’s important to point out the PSC Team brings a construction savvy innovated approach to our constructability
reviews and construction management approach by being on the cutting edge of construction technologies and procedures. Our PS&E reviews will ensure that the most current specifications are being used. As an example:
Green Roads ‐ CalRecycle's Green Roads program promotes waste tires as a valuable resource and environmentally sound solution to solve engineering problems. Scrap tires can be ground and mixed with asphalt to pave roads, or shredded for use in landslide repair and embankments. These uses keep thousands of tires out of landfills with every project. Additionally, using tire‐derived products RFP #22-048 - On-Call Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

frequently results in significant economic and energy savings and is the first step in helping the state reach its goal to recycle 90 percent of its unneeded tires.
Quite Decks –Caltrans has prepared a Memo to Designer (MTD) 8‐8 to modify the deck finish from transverse tinning to longitudinal tinning to dramatically reduce noise levels. Further Caltrans now included a quite deck specification in the 2015 Standard Specification 51‐1.03F(5)(b). The specification requires decks to be either longitudinally tined or longitudinally ground and grooved.
Both approaches reduce noise levels but the grooving and grinding specification produces the quietest deck. Given the location and the desire to minimize noise throughout the corridor, we would suggest consideration be given to requiring grinding and grooving to achieve the best possible noise reduction on the new 91/241 Toll Express Lane Connector and Oso Parkway Bridge. Though there is additional cost associated with grooving and grinding, however experience has shown this treatment consistently reduces noise to the lowest possible level.
Deck Crack Prevention – Caltrans has recently issued CPD 16‐13 to address bridge deck crack prevention. This directive allows for implementing a new specification to prevent premature bridge deck cracking. The specifications will modify the 28‐day shrinkage requirement, require polymer fibers in the concrete mix, and revise the concrete curing methods. Schedule and Cost Management ‐ Projects that will be administered in accordance with the Caltrans Construction Manual, as well as current policies and procedures will be required to utilize Caltrans standard forms for printing and filing. One technical innovation PSC has successfully used on several previous Local Agency and Caltrans projects is the use of Primavera Contract Manager software that is fully customized to the Caltrans Construction Manual and 63 category filing system. Cost Estimating ‐ PSC uses Heavy Bid 2016, which is a powerful program commonly used in the construction industry. The software can combine labor, equipment, construction materials, permanent materials and subcontractor costs rolled up into standard bid items. Our construction background allows us to combine the right pieces of equipment, crew sizes and historical production rates in order to produce an estimated cost. This software will be able to provide an output which will be easily comparable to your Contractor’s and Engineer’s Estimate. In this format it will be easy to identify potential differences between team members, and where to focus the teams’ effort during reconciliation meetings. The goal of which will be to find the most cost effective solution for the City.
Aerial Photography ‐ PSC includes aerial photography and videos during the course of the project. These photos offer a tremendous display of the project for the City to use on the City’s web page and social media (i.e. Facebook and twitter). As an example, PSC invites City to our City of Larkspur Bon Air Bridge Replacement web page at https://bonairbridge.com/.

FEDERAL CONTRACT TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND REGULATIONS
As used in this Exhibit B , this Agreement may be referred to as the “contract,” and Consultant may be referred to as “contractor.” In performing its Work under the Contract, Contractor must conform to all applicable federal, state, and local codes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, which will have full force and effect as though printed in full in the Contract. In addition to the terms, conditions, performance obligations, and other requirements set forth in the Contract, Contractor must comply with the following federal contract terms, conditions, and regulations, which are incorporated by reference in the Contract:
1. Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60–1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60–1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964– 1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”
41 CFR 60–1.4(b) provides:
The applicant hereby agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction Work, or modification thereof, as defined in the regulations of the Secretary of Labor at 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the Federal Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any Federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, the following equal opportunity clause:
During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action will include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in B-2
conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. (2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or appli cant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision will not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of Workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or Workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section, and must post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of B-3

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction Work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in Work on or under the contract.
