Project management and coordination is a key element in delivery of any Iteris project. For any project on this on-call, Iteris will document the project management elements early in the project so everyone has a clear understanding of the project management structure and reporting. Successful outcomes of projects will require some iterative coordination between Iteris and City Project Manager. Iteris will submit a Project Management Plan (PMP) within fifteen calendar days of Notice to Proceed, to document management reporting and coordination.
Project Meetings
Mr. Ramirez and key staff from the Team will participate “virtually,” in regularly scheduled, recurring project team meetings. Mr. Ramirez will coordinate with the City Project Manager to conduct project team meetings in a manner that provides good communications throughout the project team on project status, and progress in the development and review of project deliverables. Meeting materials will be provided to City PM prior to distribution to the project team members, allowing adequate time for review and edits. Action minutes shall be provided to the project team within three (3) business days of a project team meeting. In general, Mr. Ramirez will communicate project status and progress with the City PM on a regular basis, and no less frequently than every two weeks.
Methods to Ensure Quality, Budget, and Schedule Control Iteris’ ability to implement high-quality deliverables is a result of Iteris’ adherence to a quality assurance program that ensures accuracy, product usability, and an overall commitment to product excellence and user satisfaction. The Iteris project manager ensures the team commitment to these objectives by identifying goals at the outset of the project and monitoring the product implementation and delivery process. Iteris strives to improve the processes and tools Iteris uses to provide high-quality products and services. The Iteris QA/QC Plan is an all-encompassing plan that covers documents and plan sets. The following are excerpts from Iteris’ QA/QC plan, focused on documentation. Not only will the Task Leaders ensure that Iteris staff members follow this plan, but also that other Iteris Team members adhere to Iteris’ quality requirements: The following is an excerpt from Iteris’ Quality Control Manual:
“It is the goal of Iteris to provide on-time, within budget quality products in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 requirements and specific project requirements. Each associate within Iteris will adhere to the QA/QC procedures adopted by the organization to insure that each deliverable is designed and developed appropriately, timely, and accurately to meet both the scope of work and client satisfaction.” The QA/QC process is a major factor in reducing project issues and design errors and will assist with identifying conflicts or inconsistencies within project documentation. The QA/QC process will also require that each project be set up with a dedicated task for QA/QC tracking and that an individual be charged with Quality Control for each task in the Statement of Work. In addition to project budget, ample time must be provided in the project schedule to complete reviews, as well as provide sufficient time for comments to be addressed and incorporated into the final delivery to the City. The production of top quality products for the City is Iteris’ number one project goal, and the QC process is followed by associates working on each project undertaken by Iteris.
All documents produced by Iteris associates and team members, whether for transmittal to a client, prospective client, another consulting firm, or for public distribution, are reviewed by someone with expertise in the relevant area other than the author to ensure that they are comprehensible and well written. It is difficult for the author of a product to always catch obvious mistakes or to realize when something may be confusing to the reader, particularly when writing technical reports geared toward a City Council 17 – 81 2/15/2022

identifying alternative approaches to the analysis.
Inter-disciplinary review is invaluable on a multidisciplinary project like this one, as it helps to ensure that recommendations are consistent among team
members. Also, a fresh “outsider’s” review often
catches errors that go undetected through multiple
reviews by the same person.
Figure 2 illustrates Iteris’ QA/QC flowchart. It is Iteris’ policy that all documents be reviewed by senior staff
(QC Lead) before distribution, and that this person be
identified early in the process. During the internal
project kick-off meeting, once the deliverables are
identified, the Mr. Ramirez and QC Lead for each
task shall identify specific senior staff who are able
and qualified to perform the reviews. At each level of
document review, the author shall review their own
work relative to the underlying analysis, calculations
and graphics of the report, and does not assume that
someone else will be reviewing it to catch any
mistakes. This same attention to detail is applied to
graphics (maps and presentation materials) that will
be incorporated into documents and presentations.
They must all be reviewed by someone other than
the “author” and the graphic technician who
produced them to make sure that the information and
message conveyed is clear and understandable.
Graphics and presentation materials are often the
most critical elements of a project as they are what
the public and policy makers’ focus on and they must
be accurate and concise.

CEQA/NEPA
Iteris has assisted several agencies update their traffic study guidelines to conform to SB 743 for their California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) transportation analysis including the City of Irvine, City of Seal Beach and City of Laguna Niguel. Our team have extensive experience of developing Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) forecasts using traffic models including OCTAM and we are currently working on several project-level VMT studies. We are able to readily implement the screening and VMT calculations required for CEQA analysis as outlined in the City’s recently updated Traffic Study Guidelines. Iteris is also familiar with the VMT requirements needed for input to air quality and noise studies for CEQA and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
TASK – MASTER PLAN
Data Collection and Field Review
Iteris will collect existing traffic and street light infrastructure information through a series of activities, including interviews with City traffic engineering staff, City maintenance staff (contract) and review of signal interconnect/signal system documentation. Although Iteris staff already has some knowledge and field notes of the existing traffic/communication system, it is envisioned that Iteris staff will visit and thoroughly document each City traffic signal. There are discreet components to a traffic/street lighting signal system. Each component will be evaluated and discussed separately. However, ultimately the system will function at its best when all of the components are fully and completely integrated. Components of the signal system include:
The general street network and configuration;
Full inventory of traffic signal controller hardware and software at each intersection including field hubs
Communication infrastructure between TMC and intersections TMC infrastructure
Street light infrastructure
Detailed inventory documents will be prepared to ensure City staff will have an appropriate record of existing equipment and infrastructure. Iteris will submit an Existing Conditions Technical Memorandum summarizing the findings.
Surrounding System Evaluation
Potentially, one goal of the Traffic Master Plan could be is to develop a strategy for the City of Santa Ana to establish communications with adjacent jurisdictions, such as Caltrans and the cities of Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, and Garden Grove, Tustin, Irvine, and Orange. There is currently one known fiber intertie between the City and Costa Mesa, however more discussions may be needed if additional data sharing is considered. Through the use of communication links, or interties, between the City TMC and those of boundary agencies, the City will be able to share traffic signal timing data, synchronize clocks and share video surveillance data.

The objectives of the Traffic and Street Light Master Plans are to develop a multi-step process to implement upgrades to the existing TMC, develop solutions and strategies for upgrading the City’s traffic signal/street light system, and developing a plan for improved citywide communications to all signalized intersections. The master plans will leverage the existing traffic signal/street light system and infrastructure to the greatest extent possible to create a plan for improved inter-jurisdictional coordination.
In adherence with the systems engineering process, Iteris will prepare the draft and final Master Plans, based on the details of the proceeding deliverables prepared in the previous subtasks, including client comments. Details from the Technical Memoranda prepared in the previous tasks will collectively be compiled to create the Traffic Signal and Street Light Master Plans. The Master Plans will detail the phased deployment of the recommended infrastructure solutions including an
improved traffic signal communications system, traffic signal system upgrades and other traffic management and ITS
strategies as appropriate. A key element of this task will be to create a prioritized ranking of the recommended projects based upon needs, project cost, and availability of existing infrastructure, level of service goals, project duration and schedule. This document will discuss design alternatives as well as staging techniques to allow the City to achieve its final goal – deployment of a comprehensive citywide traffic
signal/street light system that also serves to support citywide communications. The Plan will include the following elements:
Prioritized listing of projects
Utilize the existing and planned infrastructure to the extent possible Cost estimates associated with each project
Schedule and Critical Path for the deployment of the projects Summary matrix of projects by priority and implementation schedule Capital improvements and associated costs
Operations, maintenance and life-cycle costs
Interagency coordination issues (Intertie, coordinated operations, etc.) Multi-jurisdictional coordination issues
Detail roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders for the corresponding projects Identify applicable standards
The Master Plans will identify the needs and readiness to integrate with certain technological advancements such as connected/automated vehicles. Iteris has, in the past, contract with the United States DOT to help develop and implement the design architecture of connected vehicles for future connectivity. Connected/automated vehicles apply new communication capabilities, new data sources, and security to the ITS environment. The Master Plan will detail out the future of the City’s ITS network with ability to expand as connected vehicles become more commonplace in the market.
The Master Plans will also detail a series of projects to deploy solutions that will include expansion of the existing communications network and additional field devices. The corresponding systems will likely require coordination between City Departments for the operations and maintenance (O&M) of the system. It is imperative to identify the roles and responsibilities to determine who will maintain the system and hardware, and the corresponding costs for this maintenance.

IBI Group and its team of transportation planners and engineers have the experience and knowledge to successfully perform all of the services identified by the City of Santa Ana for this On-Call Contract. Our Project Manager, Mike Arizabal, will serve as the primary point of contact for City staff. Mr. Arizabal is well qualified to lead this assignment because of his 15+ years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. Supporting Mike will be our Principal-in-Charge, William (Bill) Delo. Together, Mike and Bill will be available points of contact for the City and will assign the appropriate staff and task leads for the assignments that emerge from this on-call. Our overall team includes a mix of transportation engineers, traffic engineers, and transportation planners capable of providing the range of services requested by the City for this contract.
The IBI Team is currently working with several local and regional agencies on an on-call basis providing engineering services ranging from planning-level conceptual engineering to the preparation of Plans Specifications and Estimates (PS&E). These on-call projects have ranged from large interchange and transit improvement projects to smaller scale traffic impact analysis, traffic signal, and active transportation projects. Based on our previous on-call experience, the IBI team believes the following key contributors are essential to a successful on call contract:
• Communication between Consultant’s Project Manager and City Staff: Keeping the client in the loop with respect to the project status and issues allows City staff to quickly act when key decisions need to be made in order to keep the project moving.
• Understanding the Assignment: Establishing a clear understanding of the assignment with the City is essential to getting an accurate scope and fee prepared, to a rapid kick-off meeting, and to successful completion of the work. City Council 17 – 214 2/15/2022 ON-CALL TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES – RFP NO. 21-125 11 • Schedule & Cost Management: Developing a detailed fee estimate and schedule for the assignment and the continuous monitoring of both throughout the task’s duration are essential to meeting the City’s schedule and budget needs.
• Responsiveness and Flexibility: The ability of the consultant’s Project Manager to act quickly in mobilizing the appropriate members of the consultant team is critical to meet the City’s schedule requirements. A consultant Project Manager must also be able to react and adapt quickly to project and schedule changes once the technical work has begun. • Staff Continuity: Retaining the same key staff throughout the life of an on-call contract helps expedite assignments and provide quality service. Our current and previous experience working on an on-call basis has allowed the IBI team to polish these key skills, and we are eager and excited to utilize them once again by offering our continued services to the City.
Knowledge
The City of Santa Ana is soliciting proposals to provide transportation and traffic engineering consulting services on an as-needed basis for a variety of different services from design, project management, project development, and traffic analysis services. IBI Group highlights our capabilities in the following areas:
Systems Engineering
IBI Group brings a rightsized Systems Engineering approach to technology solution projects to guide development of our implementation plan and manage design and requirements development. “Rightsized” to us means we scale the application of Systems Engineering principles to meet the needs of the project. For example, because of the size and complexity of the project, for MTC we developed and continue to update a Systems Engineering Management Plan to govern the technical work on the project from initial concepts through system acceptance. We also create leaner applications of the systems engineering approach where we focus on the critical aspects of building logically from a needs assessment and prioritization through to technical requirements (what rather than how). We have worked with clients at all stages of projects ensuring that this approach is followed, not just as a standard, but because we have consistently found great success with it. This not only ensures that our clients meet all Federal requirements tied to Federal funding, but also that their projects receive the benefits of a well-managed implementation.
Traffic Feasibility and Striping Plans
IBI Group understands the importance of traffic feasibility studies to solid intersection design, including intersection and arterial network analyses. IBI is an expert at using Synchro, SimTraffic, Traffix, and HCS to prepare trip generation forecasts, identify trends from data, and perform HCM and/or ICU LOS and/or VMT analysis as required. Final plans will be produced in AutoCAD and in accordance with the 2012 California Manual of Traffic Control Devices, 2010 Caltrans Standard Specifications and Plans, the City of Irvine Standard Plans and Details. Our transportation engineers and planners have deep experience working within Caltrans and City of Irvine guidelines to prepare feasibility and striping plans. The IBI concept is to create a feedback loop that takes potential engineering and environmental considerations as input and returns traffic operations outcomes. Through an iterative process of alternatives screening and refinement we can work with the City of Irvine to select the most viable preferred alternative.
On-Call Traffic Studies
The provision of on-call traffic studies requires firms to be available and responsive to assignments issued by the City. IBI Group offers a full complement of locally-based and experienced staff capable of providing services to the City. IBI Group is familiar with the City of Santa Ana guidelines and requirements related to traffic impact and parking studies, having prepared several studies either City Council 17 – 215 2/15/2022
12 on behalf of the City or for individual projects within the city limits. IBI Group’s staff team is also fully capable of supporting City staff in reviewing project development applications, traffic studies, and transportation plans.
ITS / Traffic Signal Coordination
IBI Group has deep experience in ITS design and traffic signal coordination. IBI Group staff authored the San Diego Region ITS Strategic Deployment Plan, demonstrating an understanding of compliance with federal, state, and local codes and regulations. IBI staff are fully versed in multimodal ITS planning, design and implementation with a full knowledge of Caltrans and federal ITS requirements and industry-leading systems engineering approaches. This experience will allow IBI to provide expert on call services for any projects the City of Santa Ana requires.
Future Proofing of Emerging Technology
IBI Group’s traditional transportation planning and engineering expertise is strongly influenced by current and emerging technologies that are playing an increasing role in our urban lives and environment. We are moving forward as a firm to stay ahead of the rapidly shifting transportation environment that is moving from singular mode user decisions to decisions based on a network of multimodal options and supported by real-time data. This means looking at both:
• The present mobility eco-system defined by increasing interconnectivity; and • The future that will be marked by a completely connected user in a smart city with a responsive and resilient mobility environment.
Both eco-systems are very different from the one of traditional transportation/ITS planning, design, and deployment which tended to be solely agency infrastructure and operations focused. Under this traditional model, customer information and interactions were viewed as secondary or an outcome of operational improvements. Increasingly, the lines between customer information and operational support systems are blurring, as has the line between planning and implementation. IBI Group has the depth and breadth of skills and expertise to tackle all potential elements of the emerging 21st century mobility paradigm. It is also integrated and linked through all stages of ITS and transportation planning, engineering, implementation, and operations support to provide the City of Santa Ana with the flexibility and capabilities it will need to respond effectively as the ITS and mobility environments continue to evolve rapidly over the coming years.
Scope of Services
IBI Group has developed a sample work plan to address the common elements associated with transportation planning and engineering services. IBI recognizes the importance of all project aspects as well as the differences in how they will need to be handled. Management of individual tasks is the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that elements of the project affecting the schedule, project cost and approval process are tracked, monitored and reported on accordingly.
Task 1 – Project Kick-Off Meeting
IBI Group’s first order of work will be to meet with the City of Santa Ana’s Project Manager, to review the project, identify specific review issues, and agree on the scope and schedule for the project. Once the preliminary review scope is defined, we will perform all or part of the following tasks described in this approach.
Task 2 – Development of Scope of Work and Project Plan
After meeting with City staff, IBI’s Project Manager will develop a detailed scope of work and project plan detailing the services to be performed including costs and estimated time for completion. Our project manager will be responsible for communicating the work plan to all the involved agencies City Council 17 – 216 2/15/2022
ON-CALL TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES – RFP NO. 21-125 13 and stakeholders, and will work collaboratively with these parties to ensure smooth execution of the complete project plan. We understand that these projects may require clear communication with local stakeholders and regional transportation agencies.
Task 3 – Data Gathering and Review
IBI Group will prepare a detailed data needs memo following the initial meeting. IBI planners and engineers have years of experience in working with municipal transportation departments. The project manager understands that City staff has multiple demands on their time, therefore IBI Group correspondence will be clear, concise, and well organized. Data requirements will be clearly detailed in order to save time. IBI staff will research City records for prior approvals, including resolutions and conditions of approval, as necessary. In addition, IBI Group has experience contracting traffic counts and performing field reviews. IBI Group will review data gathered from other sources for accuracy and relevance.
Task 4 – Traffic Analysis Specific Tasks
In the category of traffic engineering, IBI Group will approach projects from a comprehensive perspective. IBI Group understands that traditional traffic engineering and traffic modeling approaches do not always support multi-modal planning. Further the transition to VMT-based analysis will require adjustments to the approach in how traffic studies are completed and in the identification of project mitigation measures.
IBI Group understands the importance of providing rigorous traffic engineering. As shown in our firm qualifications, IBI has extensive experience in developing traffic generation and parking demand estimates for innovative projects that include Transportation Demand Management (TDM) components.
We will apply our expertise in these areas on any projects to satisfactorily complete these assignments for the City.
Task 5: Prepare Preliminary Design Plans
IBI Group will prepare plan, profile, typical sections and construction details including intersection contour plans for street widening or areas of overlay and rehabilitation. Alternatives will be prepared to evaluate various impacts, constraints, costs, and geometric solutions to achieve the proposed street cross section and right-of-way. The traffic study will define the groundwork for identification of the proposed improvements including number of lanes, location and length of turning pockets, need for signals, etc. Development of project alternatives will involve coordination with the traffic engineers to determine the geometric needs. Design will commence using an iterative process with the traffic information to determine conceptual geometrics and determine if more than one alternative is warranted. The team will assess the data along with project goals and objectives to develop alternatives for further evaluation.
Task 6: Preliminary Cost Estimate
For each alternative, IBI will prepare a conceptual project cost estimate that details estimated quantities and unit costs for major work items, including right-of-way acquisition, drainage improvements and utility impacts. Project cost estimates will show quantities and unit prices with back-up calculations for all quantities. Preliminary cost estimates will be provided at each draft submittal and a final estimate will be provided with the final Project Design Report.
Task 7: Prepare Project Final Report
After the completion of the tasks above, IBI Group will prepare a Project Final Report in accordance with the City of Santa Ana’s requirements.
City Council 17 – 217 2/15/2022

Orange County Civic Center
Traffic Study
Orange County, CA
IBI Group prepared the traffic impact study for the County of Orange Civic Center Master Plan. The existing Civic Center complex (superblock) includes three administrative buildings for the County that house various departments and government functions.
The existing complex is not large enough to house all County staff, creating a condition where certain departments are housed in off-site buildings located within one mile of the Civic Center complex. The Master Plan calls for the construction of a new Building 16 in the southwest corner of the site and then demolition and replacement of Buildings 10, 12, and 14 over the course of 20 years. The traffic study prepared by IBI Group analyzes the near-term conditions with the construction of the new Building 16 and buildout conditions with the implementation of the full Master Plan. The traffic study was completed consistent with City of Santa Ana guidelines and included assessment of the Grand Avenue/I-5 interchange ramps per Caltrans guidelines. IBI is currently working on the Building 14 Access Study to identify appropriate geometric configurations of the driveways to ensure the safe and efficient interface between automobiles and bicyclists/pedestrians.
OCTA Active Transportation Plan
Orange County, CA
IBI Group was engaged by OCTA to prepare the first county-wide active transportation plan, which with covers all 35 local jurisdictions within Orange County. Development of the plan involves the identification of regional bikeways, pedestrian priority areas, and a bicycle/pedestrian best practices toolkit that provides strategies, case studies, and sample tools for each of the Five E’s (education, encouragement, enforcement, engineering, and evaluation).
Understanding the important role active modes of transportation serve amongst disadvantaged communities, the IBI Group
team recognized the need to ensure the plan was equitable and considered the needs of the many underserved communities in Orange County. The IBI Group team employed a variety of outreach methods ranging from the traditional to the more innovative to ensure outreach methods were engaging and inclusive.
The project also applied innovative techniques in geospatial data analysis. As a part of the identification of priority areas process, the IBI Group team utilized a GIS-based bicycle and pedestrian propensity model to identify priority areas for bicycle/pedestrian improvements.
The project also incorporated creative and engaging outreach.
Key components included a school-focused chalk art contest, opportunities to meet and interact with police, and joint walk to school day events with the Orange County Public Health Agency.

DISCUSSION
The OC Streetcar is the first modern streetcar project to be built in Orange County and will service Santa Ana’s historic downtown, which includes federal, state, and local courthouses, government offices, colleges, an artists’ village, and a thriving restaurant scene. The OC Streetcar will operate along a 4.15-mile route that connects the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) and a new transit hub at Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the lead agency for the OC Streetcar project.
Aldridge Electric, Inc. is one of the contractors working on the OC Streetcar Project and is currently leasing 4,934 square feet on the third floor of the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. The lease agreement is due to expire on February 19, 2022 and Aldridge Electric, Inc. has requested to extend their lease for two years with a one-year renewal option (Exhibit 1). With the proposed extension, the monthly rental rate will increase to $10,361.
