Subject – Request for Proposal: Avenida Del Mar Electrical Services and Street Tree Rehabilitation Project, Engineering Design (Project No. 19807) C375
Shawn,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide our proposal to the City of San Clemente (City) in response to the City’s Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Avenida Del Mar Electrical Services and Street Tree Rehabilitation Project, Engineering Design (Project No. 19807) (Project). We understand the City’s desire to contract a consultant with electrical and civil engineering expertise and an understanding of municipalities to ensure a successful Project. PACE proposes to support the City by designing the required scope and providing construction management support throughout the project to minimize liabilities to stakeholders, reduce impacts and costs, address challenges, and consider future improvement projects.
We understand the City is requesting design of two new 400-ampere (A) services to power existing street lighting and new power outlets on Avenida Del Mar for special event power. The scope also includes designing conduits for future fiber optic cable for the Community Center, as well as designing new electrical infrastructure (pull boxes) to allow for future expansion / improvements.
The suggested conduit routing on RFP Exhibit #1 shows the conduits running on the south side of Avenida Del Mar and up to the north side of the street, where the location of the new outlets is suggested. The gas line maps received from the City show the gas lines running on the south side of Avenida Del Mar. We suggest installing the conduits on the north side and crossing the street to the south side only, where the new power outlets will be located (see Exhibit A of our proposal). The benefit of this suggestion is that it avoids colliding with the existing gas lines. Additionally, depending on the anticipated power outlet load, one 400 A, 240/120-volt (V) service may be sufficient in addition to the existing 200 A service. PACE will confirm the required load during the feasibility study. If only one 400 A service is sufficient and the City agrees with that, the new 400 A service can be installed on Avenida Del Mar and Ola Vista, feeding both blocks 100 and 200 (see Exhibit A). Additional preliminary observations are described under the Project Understanding section of this proposal.
Our strategy to complete the Project is to collaborate with the City to collect available record drawings. To reduce fees for the City, PACE can collaborate with the City’s senior staff and/or a City intern to collect the available City-owned utility record drawings and request third-party-owned utility record drawings that will be included in the base map for the design. Once all available records have been collected and studied, PACE senior team members will develop an expedited feasibility study containing up to three viable alternatives with estimated construction costs and a recommended alternative. We will also hold meeting(s) with the City to review the alternatives in detail and explain the advantages / disadvantages of each of them.
Shawn Ryan, PE October 17, 2024
Avenida Del Mar Electrical Services and Street Tree Rehabilitation Project / C375 Page 2 of 3 After the City has decided on the design alternative from the feasibility study, PACE will start developing the design and simultaneously prepare the new service application(s) for the City to apply to the San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E). Service applications require a long time, so it is highly recommended that the application be started as soon as the design alternative is determined to avoid project delays. We have provided many similar services for our clients, and preparing complete applications with required documents speeds up the processing time. After the 100% plans and specifications have been approved by the City, PACE will support the City during the bidding phase by responding to the bidder’s questions and performing a site walk if requested by the City.
PACE will be providing construction management services, including electrical and civil inspections. The electrical inspections include inspecting conduit installations, witnessing wire cable insulation testing (megging), and witnessing functional testing of the lighting controller. Our subcontractor, AESCO, will perform the civil testing and inspections, including compaction testing, soil testing, and compression testing, as required by the RFP. However, if the City would like to reduce inspection costs, the City can assign a staff member, such as a Public Works City inspector, to perform common and typical civil inspections, such as inspection of trenching, street restoration, concrete, etc. Furthermore, civil inspection is relatively simple because the existing City standard trenching detail is shallow (less than 5 feet), thereby typically not requiring shoring.
The project requires electrical and civil engineering knowledge and experience to provide a cost-efficient, long-lasting design. The Contract Manager, Duncan Lee, PE, has 6 years of experience at PACE as the Principal of the Utilities Division and offers the benefit of a combined 30 years of municipal and public agency experience, including most recently 17 years as the Principal Civil Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach. Bashar Ishaq, PE, will be the Project Manager, Sr. Electrical Engineer, and contact person for the City. Mr. Ishaq has over 10 years of experience managing various sizes of projects as well as designing and serving as the Engineer of Record for multiple projects, offering the benefit of managerial and technical expertise required to successfully and cost-efficiently complete the project. We have both served in the public sector, allowing us to put ourselves in your shoes as we direct our team to meet your needs best.
PACE has successfully supported the City of San Clemente with numerous projects, including the WRP Flow Equalization Project and Headworks Grit Replacement Project for the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Moreover, PACE’s office is about 31 miles from the project location, making it easy to be on-site during all project phases.
PACE and AESCO have successfully performed the following projects, which provide just a small sample of our experience. Full project descriptions and references are provided in this proposal. • City of Manhattan Beach Sewer Lift Stations and Force Main Replacement Projects • City of Seal Beach Lampson Water Well Treatment Project • City of San Clemente Pico/Presidio DIP Replacement at Gateway Village Plaza • Alley East of Alabama Water Main Replacement (AESCO)
• I-405 Freeway Widening (AESCO)
We understand that the City wants to finish the major construction activities before the busy summer months to avoid impacting the businesses on Avenida Del Mar. Our suggested schedule reflects that, and we are committed to finishing the design by the end of January 2025 to allow sufficient time for the major construction activities, such as trenching, before the busy summer months. A detailed schedule is included in the proposal for your review.
The total not-to-exceed fee for this project, including all scope items described in the RFP, is provided in the separate cost estimate.
Shawn Ryan, PE October 17, 2024

Background and Approach
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We understand the City requests to design two new 400-ampere (A) services to power existing street lighting and new power outlets on Avenida Del Mar for special event power. The scope also includes designing conduits for future fiber cables for the Community Center, as well as designing new electrical infrastructure (pull boxes) to allow for future expansion/improvements.
Preliminary Site Observations
The PACE team reviewed various exhibits provided by the City and developed a list of preliminary site observations that are noteworthy for consideration:
• The suggested conduit routing on Exhibit 1 shows the conduits running on the south side of Avenida Del Mar and shooting up to the north side of the street where the location of the new outlets is suggested. The gas line maps received from the city show the gas lines running on the south side of Avenida Del Mar. We suggest installing the conduits on the north side and crossing the street to the south side only, where the new power outlets will be located. See proposed Exhibit A. The benefit of this suggestion is that it avoids colliding with the existing gas lines.
• Depending on the anticipated power outlet load, one 400 A, 240/120-volt (V) service may be sufficient in addition to the existing 200 A service. PACE will confirm the required load during the feasibility study. If only one 400 A service is sufficient and the City agrees with that, the new 400A service can be installed on Avenida Del Mar and Ola Vista, feeding both blocks 100 and 200. Another benefit to this suggestion is that the conduit routing crossing expensive decorative paving is minimized, reducing the construction cost. See proposed Exhibit A.
• Multiple outdoor dining restaurants on Avenida Del Mar will be impacted during the construction phase. The restaurants will need to temporarily remove their outdoor seating. Additionally, dust and construction activities may disturb the businesses. To minimize the impact on the businesses, we suggest starting the construction in April 2025 and finishing before the busy summer months. • Although Avenida Del Mar is an important street for circulation, it is not an arterial. Furthermore, most proposed trenching activities will be adjacent to the curb and gutter, allowing at least one lane of travel during construction. Therefore, a common practice of deferring traffic control to the Contractor and utilizing the WATCH Manual is anticipated.

Methodology
PROJECT APPROACH
PACE has carefully considered the appropriate approach to execute this Project by reviewing the contents provided in the RFP, preliminary observations, and lessons learned from similar past and current projects. PACE will provide a cohesive team of engineers and subconsultants with extensive experience to tackle the City’s project objectives. PACE will meet challenges head-on by working with the City’s project manager to collaborate with others on this complex water well treatment project. Below are key methodologies to demonstrate our technical approach to deliver the Project.
METHODOLOGY
PACE will utilize the strategies below as the method to complete this Project.
Strategy 01 – Involve City O&M Staff Early and Often in Design Development The PACE team will utilize the City’s operations and maintenance experience to ensure that the final design aligns with the City’s expectations. PACE will meet with the City’s engineering team and the operations and maintenance (O&M) staff to understand and solidify the project objectives.
Strategy 02 – Data Collection
Data collection includes collecting any available data, including record drawings, locating existing underground utilities (an optional task done by BESS), and conducting site visits. PACE has already conducted a site visit to become familiar with the project location. This step is imperative because the data collected will be used in the feasibility study and the design. The more accurate the design, the less risk for change orders during construction.
Strategy 03 – Feasibility Study to Commit to the Most Viable Design Alternative and Alignment PACE’s Sr. Electrical Engineer and Sr. Civil Engineer will develop the feasibility study, which will include up to three viable options for the City’s review. PACE’s team will describe the advantages and disadvantages of the options, and the team will recommend an option to allow the City to make an informed decision. PACE’s objective will be to minimize the construction cost by, for example, reducing the number of services from two to one if possible and reducing the crossing of decorative pavement, and developing a reliable design with minimum need for maintenance. #C375 4

Project Organization and Staffing
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The Project Manager coordinates all planning and design work with all subconsultants and staff. Regular meetings or teleconferences will be held with applicable Project Team members and consultants to coordinate engineering study and/or design issues. Meeting minutes will be kept and retained in project files.
Client Coordination
The Project Manager, Bashar Ishaq, will be the project’s primary contact with the client on contracting matters. All correspondence to the client, whether incoming or outgoing, will be through the Project Manager. The Project Manager will keep the client informed of the project's progress on a monthly basis unless otherwise indicated in the work plan or contract work scope.
Subconsultant Management
Agreements with our subconsultants will be followed by detailed task orders delineating the budget, schedule, and scope. These task orders will be monitored for progress and compliance. We will track the resources and the costs against the planned targets to ensure the resources are efficiently employed. Our working history with subconsultants and the skill of our subconsultant team provide the basis for a well-managed project delivery.
Budget Control
Engineering costs will be controlled by frequent monitoring and early identification of any scope/design change affecting project costs. Construction cost estimates will be developed based on the preliminary design effort and using current costs for construction materials and techniques based on our recent/current experience and costing indexes.
The estimate will then be compared to the City’s budget expectations and if a gap is present, discussions will take place to determine if value engineering or other actions are necessary. Invoicing will follow City guidelines established at the start of each project. All invoices are reviewed by the Project Manager for accuracy and compliance prior to submittal to the City.
Work Location
All PACE project management efforts will be coordinated out of our headquarters office in Fountain Valley, CA. Regular coordination meetings will occur at City offices, or using one of the many meeting and coordination resources we have available such as Teams or Zoom (video conferencing), which allow us to minimize budget for travel and meetings.
However, in-person meetings will be encouraged at critical project durations (kick-off, conclusion of conceptual design, final design submittals, public outreach / agency coordination meetings, etc.).
Project Scheduling
PACE will use the MS Project scheduling system to continuously monitor project costs, labor, and progress. We will develop a conceptual milestone schedule based upon anticipated needs of the project and major task items. With each monthly progress report, PACE will submit an updated 4-week horizon schedule reflecting planned work. PACE will promptly notify the City of any changes in anticipated project progress and will submit an updated project schedule to the City.

system. Mr. Lee served as Project Manager and was responsible for the street and sidewalk restoration for the area next to the residential property.
City of Seal Beach Lampson Wellhead Treatment and Sewer Siphon – Seal Beach, CA The Lampson Water Well produces up to 4,000 gpm and is one of the City of Seal Beach’s four water wells. Historically high hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration levels have caused the well to be underutilized, operating at low flow rates to avoid odor complaints. As the Project Manager, Mr. Lee led the pilot testing and design of a biological treatment process using GAC to remove H2S odor and reduce chlorine chemical dosage, and the design allows for future incorporation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment.
Wastewater generated by backwashing the filter vessels will be discharged to the existing sewer system. PACE also designed an inverted sewer siphon to increase flow capacity through an existing choke point.
Pico/Presidio DIP Replacement Gateway Village Plaza – San Clemente, CA The City of San Clemente (City) owns and operates the distribution system located in the Gateway Village Plaza parking lot. The existing 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP), installed around 1980, has experienced numerous leaks, likely caused by the corrosive properties of the soil and poor subsurface drainage from excessive irrigation. Mr. Lee is serving as the project manager and providing the design for the replacement of approximately 2,000 linear feet of the water mains and appurtenances using PVC pipe. Three sections of the pipe network will be rehabilitated through slip-lining to protect private on-site elements such as planter boxes, retaining walls, and decorative concrete pavement. PACE provided potential pipe alignments and suggestions to extend the useful life of new pipes, met all project needs, and overcame site constraints.
Larsson Street Booster Pump Station Upgrade – Manhattan Beach, CA The City of Manhattan Beach needed to increase potable water delivery capacity and reliability for the Hill Area Pressure Zone (HAPZ) for potable and fire flow needs. PACE was hired to evaluate the condition of the pumping facility, determine the flow capacity of the associated delivery lines, and design a capacity expansion to increase capacity from 1,500 to 4,400 gallons per minute (gpm) through the use of four 40-horsepower centrifugal pumps. The upgraded design consists of four pumps with vertically mounted end suction pumping equipment and modern motor controllers to increase the delivery capacity while maintaining a small footprint within the existing vault. PACE developed a 3D model of the design to demonstrate that the vault had adequate space for the new pumps. An extensive flow study of the HAPZ determined that the existing pipe network was adequately sized to meet the required fire and domestic demands, therefore saving the City significant money and time by eliminating the need to design and replace water mains. Mr. Lee served as Project Manager and will be responsible for street and sidewalk restoration after the capacity expansion takes place.
PCH and Topanga Beach Drive Waterline Improvements – Malibu, CA PACE is performing engineering design services to provide waterline improvements for the Pacific Coast Highway and Topanga Beach Drive Waterline Improvement project. The project will consist of four segments of 8-inch pipe, spread over a 5-mile stretch, totaling
1.6 miles in two pressure zones (160' and 325') to replace the existing old and undersized 4-inch and 6-inch waterlines with 8-inch pipe to increase fire protection capacity and resiliency. As the Project Manager, Mr. Lee leading the project responsibilities which include determining the number of new pipes and their diameters, selecting the most viable pipe material in the event of earthquake and landslide, structural pipe anchors at tie-in points to provide stability when connected with older pipe, cathodic protection to extend the new pipe useful life significantly, and construction phasing to minimize disruption of water services and fire hydrants.
Vernon Well 22 Waterline Improvements and Treatment System – Vernon, CA As the Project Manager, Mr. Lee prepared plans and specifications for the City of Vernon so their newly drilled water well can provide up to 2,100 gpm of potable well water into their existing distribution system. PACE suspected that 2,000 feet of the existing cast iron distribution piping, to which the new 12-inch discharge would connect, had tuberculation and will create excess pressure buildup if the new well operated at full capacity. PACE implemented a physical flow test and validated that the existing pipe lost over half of its capacity.
As a result, the existing 10-inch cast iron pipe was replaced with a new 12-inch ductile iron pipe. The site layout is also able to accommodate steel treatment tanks for wellhead treatment.

(1) Additional Insured: The City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds with regard to liability and defense of suits or claims arising out of the performance of the Agreement.
Additional Insured Endorsements shall not (1) be
restricted to "ongoing operations"; (2) exclude "contractual liability"; (3) restrict coverage to "sole" liability of Consultant; or (4) contain any other exclusions contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement. For all policies of Commercial General Liability insurance, Consultant shall provide endorsements in the form of ISO CG 20 10 10 01 (or endorsements providing the exact same coverage) to effectuate this requirement.
(2) Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium. (B) Automobile Liability:
(1) Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.

The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured and include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend.
3.2.12.5 Workers' Compensation:

3.2.12.6 Primary and Non-Contributing Insurance. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.
3.2.12.7 Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
55452.01100\31193624.5
3.2.12.8 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or selfinsured retention greater than $5,000 must be approved in writing by the City and shall protect the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers in the same manner and to the same extent as they would have been protected had the policy or policies not contained a deductible or self-insured retention.
3.2.12.9 Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with all endorsements affecting each policy. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the City for approval. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.
3.2.12.10 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.
3.2.12.11 Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A- VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.
3.2.12.12 Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppel).
Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
3.2.12.13 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Appendix are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
3.2.12.14 Insurance for Subconsultants. Consultant shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for Consultant relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the Consultant's policies, or the Consultant shall be responsible for causing subconsultants to purchase the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of these Insurance Requirements, including adding the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds to the subconsultant's policies. All policies of Commercial General Liability insurance provided by Consultant’s subconsultants performing work relating to this Agreement shall be endorsed to name the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and 55452.01100\31193624.5
volunteers as additional insureds using endorsement form ISO CG 20 38 04 13 or an endorsement providing equivalent coverage. Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract relating to this Agreement until it has received satisfactory evidence of subconsultant’s compliance with all insurance requirements under this Agreement, to the extent applicable. The Consultant shall provide satisfactory evidence of compliance with this section upon request of the City.
