An essential tool to assist in cost-effective roadway maintenance planning is a current pavement management program (PMP) and current accurate pavement condition data.

The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) provides approximately $11.9 million for FY2023/24 for the City of San Bernardino (City). In addition, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IJA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will provide more than $40 billion in funds for infrastructure and transportation systems for California agencies. However, additional funding comes with new requirements; an updated PMP is an essential tool to support agencies in not just reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CT), but also future efforts to pursue additional funding or grant applications.

Summary of Key Proposal Elements
As part of this project, NCE will partner with the City to develop PMP database, recommend rehabilitation strategies to improve pavement conditions, develop a seven-year rehabilitation program, provide on-site StreetSaver® training and technical support, and assist with presentations to appropriate City staff and elected officials. In addition to the PMP, NCE will also provide asset data collection services. i.e., road right-of-way (ROW) assets such as sidewalks, traffic signs, curb ramps, pavement traffic markings and striping, and curb markings.

NCE is a nationally recognized pavement and asset management firm with broad capabilities and expertise in the areas of asset and pavement management systems as well as civil and pavement design, and training. The NCE team has more than 100 person years of combined experience with PMPs and asset collections. Our highly trained technical staff are experienced in data collection and have worked together on numerous asset and pavement management projects in California as shown on the map to the right. They have developed an excellent reputation for dedication, integrity, productivity, quality of work, and service to our clients. Additionally, NCE is a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) certified consultant, and our team has widespread experience providing distress inspections and updating the StreetSaver®, PMP database(s). The NCE team can provide the following benefits and distinguishing features to the City:

Extensive local PMP experience (90 cities/counties in Southern California). • StreetSaver® experience and proficiency.
• Expertise in pavement engineering.
• OCTA and MTC-certified inspectors and data Collection vehicle Innovative pavement strategies with sustainable options Experienced with developing work plan(s) based on PCI only.

NCE as a Company
NCE is a client-focused professional consulting firm integrating the disciplines of engineering, science, and planning to address the infrastructure and resource challenges facing our communities today and in the future. Unique from other civil engineering firms, we have specialized in pavement technology, including pavement management, design, and research for more than three decades. In that time frame, we have stayed at the forefront of pavement and material technology and gained the trust of local agencies and State DOTs to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Academies, to deliver realistic and economical pavement solutions while creating safe, durable, and sustainable designs.

We have also performed pavement condition surveys ranging from state highways in 12 states to local street networks in over 220 cities and counties in California. We have surveyed over 120,000 miles of pavements, including alleys, trails, and parking lots. Our field data collection ranges from walking surveys as per the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) or StreetSaver® protocols to using specialized automated equipment to collect data such as pavement distresses, roughness, structural strength (deflection testing) to asset data (signs, signals, curb ramps, marking, sidewalks, etc.). The automated approach not only saves time and money but is also safe. In addition, it allows the majority (~100%) of the network to be surveyed as compared to the walking survey where only a sample of the network is surveyed. In addition, roadside assets such as traffic signs, curb ramps, pavement stripping, and sidewalks can also be collected and inventoried in the same mobilization as the semi-automated/automated survey. Our services include PMP, asset management, pavement evaluation, testing and design, civil engineering, and the research and design of sustainable and innovative pavement technologies. NCE was established in 1990, and we have since grown to over 125 employees strategically working across seven offices throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona. This contract will be managed from our local Fountain Valley office.

For this contract, NCE has teamed with märker geospatial, LLC (märker) to conduct automated surveys (6D LiDAR). märker's testing vehicle and staff are also MTC and OCTA certified, further ensuring that we meet the accuracy requirements specified by MTC and OCTA. NCE has worked with märker staff for over a decade on many successful PMPs for cities and counties where the technology is appropriate, including the Cities of Anaheim, Baldwin Park, Burbank, Corona, Diamond Bar, Hermosa Beach, Highland, Manhattan Beach, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, Redondo Beach, San Clemente, and Thousand Oaks, and the Counties of Orange, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. We have also included Transconomy LLC (Transconomy) for automated asset inventory. Transconomy provides cutting-edge tools for collecting roadway images and automatically extracting assets to create GIS-based inventories of transportation infrastructure using Al and Machine Learning. NCE has recently teamed with Transconomy staff on local transportation asset management projects for the Cities of Thousand Oaks and Santa Maria.

NCE has the capability to deliver responsive, cost-effective, and high-quality pavement management and pavement engineering services. These services will be accomplished through a systematic and organized method of work and communication led by NCE's proposed Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE. Mr. Jha will be the City's contact person during the RFP review process. As CEO/President of NCE, Margot Yapp, PE, is authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the firm. Their contact information follows.

7. Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work
Project Understanding
NCE understands that the City of San Bernardino (City) is seeking proposals from consulting firms with expertise in developing, implementing, and/or preparing updates for a pavement management program (PMP). A comprehensive PMP will be critical in assisting the City in developing funding scenarios as well as multi-year budget and treatment plans that are practical and cost-effective. Ideally, the PMP is used to prepare a multi-year maintenance plan, which consists of a rotating maintenance schedule using consolidation of treatments versus rehabilitation and zone improvement approaches. These approaches are used by many cities, as it reduces construction costs by creating more aggressive bidding and reducing mobilization and minimizing disruptions to businesses and residents. NCE has performed similar analyses for numerous agencies in Southern The PMP will provide the City's policymakers and asset management experts with the following key pieces of information:

1. Updated inventory of the City's current pavement network, including condition and attribute information of sectionalized street segments, such as to/from locations, functional class, length, width, area, number of lanes, etc.

2. The current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the entire network and by functional class.

3. Recommendations for future maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategy based on discussions between NCE and the City's asset management professionals.

4. A seven-year workplan based on various funding and treatment scenarios, which will show the Council and the public the most cost-effective manner of spending the City's tax revenue and newer revenue sources such as SB1.

5. A long-term funding analysis to determine future needs which will help guide the City Council in making informed policy decisions and achieve PCI goals.

As part of this proposal effort, NCE staff visited the City to determine the overall condition of the roadway and assist us in tailoring our scope to the City's need. Based on our site, it seems that the City's street network is in "Fair" condition with the PCI ranging from 55-65. The following sections provideNCE's scope of work and proposed schedule to complete the work.

Scope of Work
Task 1: Coordination
NCE will first meet with City staff to kick-off the project by reviewing the technical approach and any administrative matters that may be necessary. At a minimum, items to be discussed will include:
• Scope of work and schedule; Field work (scheduling and access requirements, public safety concerns, and Quality Control Plan [QCP]); Available files (e.g., existing pavement management inventories, construction history, GIS shapefiles, available maps, and other relevant data); Maintenance practices, history, and costs; Paving budgets or PCI condition goals for modeling budget-driven and/or target-driven scenarios; Other issues as appropriate.

As part of this task, NCE will create an inventory of the City's existing street network in StreetSaver®. This will include the following items:
• Obtaining GIS Maps for the City's street Network or from the County website; Determining the functional classification of each street within City's street network; Setting up user-defined fields as desired. • Sectionalizing streets into homogeneous pavement sections; Linking pavement management sections in selected PMP software to GIS shapefiles; Standardizing parameters for streets names and suffixes; Obtaining original construction dates; Determining surface types; Determining lengths and widths of sections.

StreetSaver® allows 6 additional GIS layers to be included at the time of GIS mapping integration with no additional cost. These layers can include information like council districts and work zones, among others. Our team will collaborate with the City staff to determine which additional layers will be most beneficial from the development of an annual street rehabilitation program perspective.

Deliverables for Task 1: Meeting agenda; virtual Kick-off Meeting; technical memorandum summarizing kick-off meeting; and virtual progress meeting; One-Year StreetSaver® License; Uploading GIS Shapefile with up to 6 GIS Layers; Populated PMP database with inventory & Linked pavement sections to GIS shapefile.

Task 2: Inspection, Surveys, and Related Services
NCE will perform fully automated pavement condition surveys on approximately 587 centerline miles of the City maintained streets. The distress collection protocols will be in accordance with ASTM D6433-20 protocols. Our Roadway Collection Vehicle System which is certified by both OCTA and MTC uses a 6D Dual-lane Road LiDAR Scanner that automatically collect a wide variety of pavement defects and pavement surface damages using advanced laser scanning technology to capture high resolution 3D roadway surface profiles and 2D digital pavement images. Our system conducts a comprehensive "curb-to-curb" pavement survey, providing ~100% full width sampling in contrast with other automated systems that use a downward image scanning device that only assesses distresses in the travel lanes.

Our system is comprised of many sub-components in order to provide automated, real time, accurate and repeatable roadway condition results, such as inspection survey distances, longitudinal roughness "rideability", crack detection and measurement, 2D and 3D pavement profiles, wheel track rutting depths and transverse profiles, as well as incorporating our global positioning (GPS) system, roadway marking reflectivity, and innovative 3D 360° imagery and LiDAR mobile mapping solutions. Our pavement distress data collection process involves the use of high-resolution 3D digital imaging technology and integrated distress laser pavement roadway scanners, which allow us to correctly quantify the type, severity, extent, start and stop points of all ASTM D6433-20 pavement distresses.

NCE's pavement inspectors have undergone a rigorous certification test through both the Orange County Transportation Authority's (OCTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MC) "Inspector Certification/Testing" programs.

These cover both ASTM D6433 and StreetSaver® distress protocols.

In addition, märker is also certified by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MC) "Automated Rating Vendor Certification" program.

The "fuel" for any pavement management engine is the surface condition data. Pavement distress provides that important set of data in determining the costs to maintain the pavement network. Automated procedures will be conducted with a 100% sampling rate with full width "curb-to-curb" pavement survey coverage to collect distress data. The data collection system will be operated by OCTA-certified technicians, ensuring consistency and reliability in the collected data.

Should City personnel wish to observe our field crews and testing vehicles during the inspection surveys, we will be more than happy to accommodate this. Individual City staff may also accompany NCE's field crew for up to ½ day to gain hands-on training at no additional cost to the City. We have found that this is the most effective training method for agency staff, as they become part of the data collection crew, rather than just observers. Please note that this scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues including, but not limited to traffic, safety and road hazards, geometric issues, road shoulders, sidewalks, curb and gutters, drainage issues or short-term maintenance that should be performed.

Task 3: Quality Control
Quality management practices for pavement management suggest that a one-time inspection of the final data is typically inadequate and involves a high risk of failure. We have recognized the importance to effectively implement and ensure quality control and assurance practices on pavement distress data. We use a proven approach that integrates quality management ANCE Page | 24

and control procedures throughout the entire data collection and delivery process. For this project, we have proposed the inclusion of a QC Manager, Shahram Misaghi, MS, PE. He will be responsible for the following:
• Calibrating all data collection activities; Comparing the field data collected with on-site conditions; Reviewing field activities, including spot checks on the field crews; Reviewing field procedures and making changes, as needed. • Reviewing all data entry functions, including random spot checks; Reviewing reports generated and analyses performed to ensure a quality product.

NCE will prepare a QC Plan that will include the following components:
• Description of condition survey procedures (distress types, severities). All procedures, changes or modifications should be well documented in the QCP so that future updates will be consistent. • Accuracy required for data collection or acceptability criteria. • Description of how data will be checked for accuracy, e.g., control sections setup and distress comparisons between walking and automated surveys. A sample spreadsheet of distress detail comparisons between walking and automated survey on control sections is listed below; In addition to the control sections, NCE will also carry out additional quality control which will include comparing the rate of deterioration since the last PMP to flag any sections that have deteriorated at a higher-than-expected rate (2-3 PCI points per year) or the conditions has drastically improved without any recent M&R. NCE will then review each of the section flagged to ensure that the updated PCI clearly reflects the current pavement condition.

A draft QC plan will be submitted to the City for approval, and no field work will commence until a final plan has been accepted.

Deliverables for Task 3: Draft and final Quality Control (QC) plan.

Task 4: Data Entry
All data collected from the condition surveys will then be uploaded into the StreetSaver® database. This task will be performed at NCE's office in order to provide Quality Control of all data entered into the system. NCE will then perform the pavement condition index (PCI) calculations, and correct any errors found. A PCI listing report will be prepared and submitted to the City.

The City staff will also be trained on how to update data, add new road segments, and run applicable reports. Details regarding training are provided in Task 7
Deliverables for Task 4: Updated StreetSaver® database with pavement distress data; and PCI Calculations.

Task 5: Pavement Condition Report
As part of this task, NCE will provide the City with the PCI report (tables and maps) that will list the PCI for each section within City's street network. The report will also provide the PCI values for different functional classes and other criteria such as council districts as desired by the City staff.

NCE will next review M&R strategies with City staff and include the recommendation of appropriate treatments such as cape seals or overlays, and the determination of treatment unit costs. This will be an appropriate time to review the use of new/sustainable treatments or materials, such as rubberized asphalt, rubberized chip or cape seals, microsurfacing, rejuvenators, cold-in-place recycling, full-depth reclamation, fiber reinforcement, warm mix asphalt, etc.

Development of the M&R decision tree is a critical step in creating a PMP program as it has a direct and significant impact on the final work plan that is developed, as well as the budgeting consequences. NCE's experience in civil engineering & design and especially pavement engineering & design, as well as local conditions, allows our staff to be able to provide the City with solutions that are practical and workable. Once the M&R alternatives are defined, a treatment unit cost will be determined for each alternative. These alternatives and costs will then be entered into StreetSaver® for budgetary analysis. The unit costs will have a huge impact on the City's projections or needs assessments. Therefore, NCE will review any recent bid tabs and engineers estimate, together with those from neighboring cities as appropriate. Also, unit prices will be fully loaded rates, and will include not just contractors' prices, but also design, inspection, and testing costs.

Deliverables for Task 5: PCI Report; Meeting to discuss treatment alternatives; unit costs; and Decision tree.

Task 6: Pavement Rehabilitation Program
NCE will perform a Budget needs analysis using an analysis period of seven years. This task will identify M&R requirements for each street section and determine the total M&R requirements over the entire analysis period. The costs are then summed up ÄNCE Page |25

for the entire period. This forms the basis for performing Budget Scenario evaluations, which optimize the street sections for repair under constrained budgets.

The Budget Scenarios evaluation priorities road sections for repair under constrained, realistic, budgetary assumptions. Five budget- or target-driven scenarios will be performed after discussions with City staff. The budget analysis will focus on how different scenarios impact the PCI over time and how much (if any) additional funding is required to achieve the target PCI goals (determined by the City) for each scenario. Examples of typical scenarios include:
• Impact of existing funding levels on network PCI; Impact of drops and/or increases in existing funding on network PCI. • Funding levels necessary to maintain current network PCI; Funding level necessary to improve current network PCI; Funding required to maintain a specific PCI (e.g. PC| = 70).

Based on discussion with the project team (NCE and City staff), a preferred scenario will be recommended. The results from the preferred scenario will be used to develop a budget options report which will include a seven-year rehabilitation program including treatments and when to apply treatments to streets. As part of this task, NCE will develop a candidate list of arterial streets with preferred recommendations that should be addressed each fiscal year. NCE will also produce a list of candidate segments section for collector, residential and alleys. The residential streets will be grouped together so they are in the same neighborhood. Please note this task, does not include development of work zones, however we accounted for 40 hours of engineer time to group the recommended streets by neighborhood. If the Deliverables for Task 6: Results from various budget scenarios; Draft and Final Budget Options Report with 7-year Rehabilitation program with Listing of Candidate streets/segments for Arterial, Collector, residential, and Alleys for each fiscal year; and Recommendation on budget shortfalls.

Task 7: Pavement Management Program Update
As part of this task, NCE will prepare a PMP report which will be a single comprehensive document with appendices that clearly and concisely contains all relevant findings, observations, and recommendations. The report and its exhibits will be presented legibly. The report charts and map exhibits will have distinguishable color gradations. At a minimum, the Final report will contain the following components:
• Executive Summary outline complete report.
• Methodologies utilized for field surveys and budget analysis. • Current overall pavement conditions (PCI):
• Condition distribution by functional road classification; Condition distribution by percent of roadway network; and Condition comparison with other cities in region and state.

Projected annual repair/rehabilitation road maintenance programs over a 7-year period.

Analysis that allows City to measure impact of cost of deferred maintenance for various funding levels.

Exhibit showing proposed annual work to be performed based upon available funding over a 7-year period. • GIS map exhibit showing existing PCI rating and a 7-year work program.

As part of this task, NCE will present the results of the PMP to the City staff. In addition, our team will also prepare and present a 15-minute non-technical presentation to the City Council. Additionally, NCE will also provide one-day training hands-on training session for up to 5 City staff on City's test database on how to effectively use the StreetSaver® software and its data entry requirements.

Deliverables for Task 7: Pavement Management Program Update Report; One-day hands-on training for 5 City staff; and Presentation to City staff and Council.

Task 8: Asset Inventory
As part of this task, NCE will perform an asset inventory for the entire City network. For cost effective purposes, NCE will perform this task using Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning (Al-ML) approach and perform a manual QC to obtain 95% reliability. The following assets can be inventoried by NCE. • Sign Inventory (type and locations); Sidewalk inventory & width; Pavement Marking and Striping Inventory; Curb Ramps; and Curb Marking.

As part of this optional task, NCE will also provide up to 80 hours technical support relating to the StreetSaver® software and PMP to the City Staff.

Deliverables for Task 10: Technical Support (up to 80 hours) for the City staff.

Task 11: Work Zone Development, Focused Multi-Year Work Plan for CIP, & Base Repair Markout (OPTIONAL)
As part of this task, NCE will work with the City to develop work zones that address the City's long-time objectives. NCE is working with multiple cities in southern California to develop work zones that take into various factors such as geography, roadway condition, and others. Additionally, as part of this task NCE will develop a focused Multi-Year M&R Work Plan; the PCI plays a role in treatment selection, but for design purposes, confirmation and refinement of proposed treatments must be performed as well as consideration of base repair quantities, aggregation or re-grouping of streets to maximize construction savings, separation/combination of surface seal or rehabilitation paving programs, and cost to comply with complete and green street policies. The multi-year plan will only be developed for the preferred scenarios selected by the City and will be developed for three (3) fiscal years.

The criteria for various funding sources available to the City will be considered when selecting streets in the Work Plan. NCE will perform focused field reviews to identify the items listed below for streets selected by the PMP software for the preferred scenario. Before developing the work plan, NCE staff will meet the City staff in the field to determine their priorities and objectives in determining the rehabilitation treatment and repair criteria. Our scope includes one additional meeting to finalize the multi-year plan. The Work Plan elements include:
• Verify treatment type and project limits.
• Identify approximate base repair percentage or mark digouts in the field.

Identify number of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp upgrades triggered by proposed treatments. • Identify potential tripping hazards area caused by tree roots or surface materials build-up area near the pavement edge.

Tripping hazards area locations (house address or distance to intersection) would be recorded in the field review. • Identify alternative newer technologies (CIR, FDR, etc.) and/or alternative surface seal treatments on cul-de-sac areas. • Identify excessive cracking problems and propose alternative treatments as appropriate.

NCE will generate enough candidate streets for grouping, consolidation, removing outliers, and determining other conflicts.

Based on the criteria agreed upon with the City, pavement maintenance strategies, and field observations, the sections selected would be grouped together geographically to produce continuous sections for treatment to minimize inefficiencies with shorter and isolated street segments and reduce construction costs and traffic impacts. If there is a budget surplus or a need to update the decision tree based on the multi-year focus plan, NCE will re-run the preferred scenario budget analysis to incorporate the findings from the site visits/multi-year focus plan. As part of this task, NCE staff will assist the City in the CIP program by marking base repairs locations in the field. For the base repair markout, we have allocated 120 hours.

Deliverables for Task 11: Work Zones, Focus work plan in tabular and map formats; Updated budget analysis with multi-year work plan; and 120 hours of Base Repair Markout.

Please note that due to page limitations we have included our proposed Project Schedule by task in Section 8. Fee Proposal.

11. Other Information
Technical and Management Approach for Completing Projects NCE brings a collaborative, innovative, and problem-solving mentality to the management of all our projects, and this is the foundation of our approach. We believe in allocating the right resources at the right time to cost-effectively produce high- quality deliverables and projects for our clients. We focus on understanding our client's "big picture," while increasing the value of every dollar spent on every effort or project by identifying and eliminating challenges before, they occur. This starts with assigning experienced and capable project managers and surrounding them with handpicked teams tailored to every effort, task, or project. NCE's objective for any contract is to deliver technically sound and high-quality projects on-time, on-budget, and with a high level of satisfaction to our clients. Our approach is outlined in the following paragraphs.

Project Approach - NCE aligns talented and experienced project managers, engineers, and technicians in direct contact with clients to collaborate, resulting in a unique partnership that is beneficial to both employees and clients alike. Repeat and referred clients are a reflection of our commitment and dedication to providing quality, timely products to our clients.

Project Kickoff - Our Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE, and other key team members will meet with City staff to review the project goals and the expected deliverables and discuss lessons learned from previous projects.

Delivering Projects with Efficiency and Effectiveness - During the project execution phase, the Project Manager will be responsible for delivering the scope of work. Project tasks will include managing the budgets, project schedule, subconsultants, and preparation of work products. Our Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE, will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the project, ensuring that the scope of work is fully performed, ensuring the financial elements are being tracked and are on budget, monitoring schedules, and ensuring that the necessary resources are assigned and committed to the project. He will be responsible for maintaining consistency of invoices with the project contracts and deliverables, ensuring that subconsultant agreements are consistent with the master contract (flow downs), and that NCE delivers a technically sound project on time, on budget, and with a high-level of satisfaction to the City.

Communications - One of the more critical elements in providing quality assurance is to ensure adequate communications, both between NCE and the City, as well as within the NCE team. To ensure that City is kept well informed of progress, NCE proposes that in addition to monthly progress reports, we can provide 15-to-20-minute progress update(s) meetings. Typically, this will summarize the progress made to date, identify any problems or questions NCE may have, and an estimate of the work tasks for the next period. It will also provide an opportunity for all city staff to ask questions as well as for NCE to describe upcoming tasks. Within NCE, all field crews are in daily contact with our Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE. Typically, these are brief, five-minute phone conversations that update the Project Manager on the progress in the field. Occasionally, there may be enough questions to require a special field trip by both the Project Manager and QC Manager to resolve the matter.

Proven Record of Meeting Project Schedules - Clients have come to rely on NCE's ability to meet project schedules. Keeping the end project in mind, our concise documentation, and management's ability to quickly resolve issues, are all key factors to completing a project on time. Timeliness is a high priority for the NCE team. Clear communication, concise documentation, prompt problem resolution, and strict review of the schedule are the tools NCE uses to complete the project within the established timeframe. NCE works collaboratively with our clients to prepare project-specific schedules with clear delivery timelines. In the event of a potential delay on project milestones, NCE will promptly notify the City, present the details of the potential delay, and make recommendations for bringing the project schedule back on track.

On Budget Performance - NCE has a cloud-based cost accounting system that accurately tracks specific job costs, provides real-time updates on remaining budget, and documents task progress. Labor hours and expenses are entered into the system, which allows NCE's Project Manager to access the information at any time from their computer or mobile device. Costs are routinely compared with the budget and schedule to manage the team's level of effort, labor hour allocation, and resource scheduling. Our Project Manager will regularly email the team members a real-time snapshot of the remaining budget and task progress, which is auto generated by the software, to keep team members aware of budget and time constraints. NCE's cost control and invoicing system are well suited to tracking costs, preparing invoices in styles and formats consistent with City requirements.

RFP F-24-03
High-Quality Project Deliverables - NCE has an active Quality Assurance Management Program (QAMP) that includes specific quality control (QC) procedures. The goal of NCE's QAMP is to infuse quality throughout the entire project. Each NCE employee attends our quality assurance training and is required to pass an exam and receive certification. NCE's QAMP is based on four principles: client satisfaction, employee participation, problem prevention, and continuous quality improvement.

Managing Subconsultants - Managing the subconsultant contracting process and performance needs to be as structured as other aspects of project management. Just as the City looks to NCE as the overall responsible party for the contract with them, NCE will be diligent with each of its teaming partners to be sure their performance is going to enhance the overall project results and meet the goals and expectations of the City. NCE requires a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program plan from each teaming partner. NCE will ensure the scope of services in each subconsultant contract is clearly written with identified deliverables and milestones and the division of work and responsibilities is clearly defined to eliminate confusion, duplication, and gaps in the project work. NCE will coordinate and integrate subconsultant activity and hold regular meetings to facilitate project coordination, understand the subconsultant's progress on the work, and to answer pressing questions.

Community Involvement
As mentioned above in the document, NCE has successfully completed similar PMP and Pavement Related projects in the nearby Cities of Highland, Riverside, and Upland
Previous Involvement with the City
NCE has not had any prior involvement with the City, however, we are excited about the opportunity to work with the City and making your projects) a top priority.

Conflict of Interest Statement
NCE does not have any actual, apparent, direct or indirect, or potential conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to NCE, any of its employees, or any other person relative to the services to be provided pursuant to this RFP.

Subject: LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR NICHOLS CONSULTING ENGINEERS (NCE) To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to recommend Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) for their pavement management services.

NCE has conducted several updates to our City-wide Pavement Management Program over the last decade, including its current 2023 update. Their services have included field surveys of the city streets, database updates, development of decision trees, and budget scenario reports, recommendations, and council NCE's team was responsive, clearly communicated their progress, and tracked their expenditures to ensure they stayed within budget. The City's 2023 Pavement Management Program Update project had very aggressive deadlines and NCE staff worked diligently with City staff to complete the project deliverables on time and in a professional manner. Additionally, NCE staff worked with the City to explain the intricacies of the StreetSaver program and were readily available to answer any questions and assist the City staff after completing their project.

There are no reservations in recommending NCE to other agencies participating in consultant services for pavement management because of NCE's knowledge and experience in the subject and their professional approach to meeting their client's needs.

In closing, NCE has been and hopefully will continue to be an asset to the pavement management community and to the City of Highland. Opportunities to work with NCE again in the future are welcomed.

To whom it may concern,
I have worked with Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) since approximately 2015. NCE has recommendations, among other services.

NCE's team, led by Project Manager Vivek Jha and Project Engineer Timin Punnackal, have always performed professionally and responsibly throughout our projects. They have communicated their progress regularly, stayed within the budget, and delivered their work on ime. They also helped us understand how different budget scenarios and decision trees woul affect our "Road to 70" goal, which aims to improve the overall network pavement condition o our roads to 70 on the pavement condition index scale. They have assisted us in creating clear and concise charts, tables, and maps to present the results of their analysis to technical and non-technical audiences. NCE has always been available to answer our questions and perform analysis as needed.

NCE has demonstrated their expertise and professionalism in this field and has met our expectations and needs. We look forward to working with NCE again in the future and appreciate their valuable contribution to the pavement management community and to the County of San Diego.
