SAUGUS PHASE I: BOUQUET CANYON
TRAIL TO CENTRAL PARK
PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
1. INTRODUCTION
Dokken Engineering has thoroughly reviewed the request for proposals (RFP) and available materials, incl uding reviewing the videos provided . We understand the challenges this project will present to design , coordinate, and construct. Our team of bikeway, roadway, pedestrian facility, drainage, structures, and utility coordination specialists have visited the project site and developed an understanding of the key project issues presented herein.
Project Approach
The City of Santa Clarita has been working with the County of Los Angeles on preliminary plans for the Saugus Phase I: Bike Trail along Bouquet Creek and through Central Park. Based on our understanding of the Project , we have developed an approach which addresses Stakeholder Coordination , maximizes park access during construction, accounts for Property Owner Coordination, as well as minimizing impact to the existing drainage basin, trees, and public gardens. We have included a Project Overview Exhibit to illustrate the areas of concern along this segment of trail project. Dokken’s in-house capabilities include civil, traffic, structural, environmental, and drainage services which improves uniformity and efficiency of the overall design. Based on our understanding we have developed the following table to identify key project issues , provide our team’s recent experience on such issue , and describe the unique benefit Dokken brings to the City.
Key Project Issue Our Team Experience Dokken Benefit
Stakeholder Coordination
The project requires
coordination between a large
group of stakeholders
including LA County Flood
Control, Santa Clarita Valley
Water Agency, and the City of
Santa Clarita Parks Division.
Dokken has extensive experience
working with multiple stakeholders,
engaging in public outreach, and
hosting Stakeholder Meetings to
ensure all expectations are managed
and concerns addressed.
Our team can work as-needed to
provide required documentation, as
well as coordinate with LA County
Flood Control, Santa Clarita Valley
Water Agency, and the City of Santa
Clarita Parks Division. Dokken brings
our understanding of the process as
well as the project site.
Potential Impacts to Drainage Basin
The proposed Bike Trail
passes by a drainage basin at
the South Entrance of Central
Park with limited space to
improve without impacting
the basin.
Dokken’s in-house water resources
team has significant experience
analyzing basin capacity and impacts
and producing the required
documentation studies for regulatory
agency approvals. Dokken’s in-house
structures team also has significant
experience working side-by-side with
our water resources team to provide
solutions that work for both services.
Having a team of in-house water
quality experts to work hand-in-hand
with Roadway and Bridge designers
provides seamless integration of
drainage solutions that will work
with project limitations and setting.
Many of our specially developed
drainage structure construction
details have been constructed
without issue.
Property Owner Coordination
The proposed Trail passes
behind at least 30 homes
when it is running adjacent to
Bouquet Creek. In addition,
parts of the proposed Trail
are located in SCVWA and LA
County Flood Control District
Right-Of-Way.
Dokken has extensive experience in
public engagement, including
reaching out to residents along
properties adjacent to the project
area so that they better understand
the project and its benefits to them
and the surrounding community. We
can accompany City staff as needed
or prepare exhibits to help the Right
of Way Agents assigned better
complete their coordination efforts
with owners.
We have recent experience creating
Property Owner Exhibits, and have
included an example herein, to help
identify private and public
improvements needed to complete a
project. Dokken’s Right of Way
Manager and Team of Agents also
has experience coordinating
temporary or permanent access
required from the various
stakeholders.

SAUGUS PHASE I: BOUQUET CANYON
TRAIL TO CENTRAL PARK
PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
Key Project Issue Our Team Experience Dokken Benefit
Park Accessibility During Construction
The project requires crossing
one of Central Park’s two
entrances. If the entrance
must be closed during
construction, impact to park
access must be limited by
minimizing the time the
access is closed during park
operating hours.
Our team has recent experience
developing staging plans for
structures in high-traffic areas,
including the SR-163/Friars Rd
Interchange and Indian Canyon Drive
over UPRR. We have also recently
developed plans and provided
construction support for multiple
streetscape projects with focus on
pedestrian and bicycle facilities
within the City of Vista, City of Palm
Desert, as well as County and City of
San Diego.
With Dokken, the City has an
experienced team who understands
the importance of working a
functional design in limited space.
We are well-versed in the challenge’s
facing cyclists and pedestrians
throughout construction and will be
able to provide best-fit options for
the City's consideration. Optimal use
of space during interim or temporary
configurations, as well as ultimate
layouts, is always a focus in our
designs and key to project success.
Impacts to Trees and Public Gardens
The proposed Trail runs
adjacent to a Community
Garden as well as existing
trees. The final alignment of
the Bike Trail and its cross
section must provide space to
preserve both.
Dokken has recently worked with
CALTRANS District 1’s Environmental
team to minimize impacts to
Redwood trees on multiple projects.
Our team is experienced in
preserving local environmental
landmarks while still satisfying the
needs of the project.
Dokken also has our own in-house
environmental team that can
coordinate with the City to ensure
that the proposed Bike Trail and
associated structures will not impact
the existing trees and community
garden.
Stakeholder Coordination
The proposed Bike Trail’s proximity to both a channel (Bouquet Creek) and a drainage basin will require active communication with all groups to ensure that the design meets expectations for the two features. LA County Flood Control, Santa Clarita Valley Wa ter Agency, City of Santa Clarita Parks Division all have ownership of the proposed Bike Trail to be constructed in this project. The areas of the Bike Trail owned by LA County Flood and SCVWA are adjacent to the channel (Bouquet Creek) and the City of San ta Clarita portion is adjacent to Central Park. Bouquet Canyon Channel is a FEMA regulated Floodway within the project limits. Within the project limits, the channel is comprised of three main sections . T wo
segments are operated and maintained
by Los Ange les County Flood Control
District (LACFCD) and one segment is
considered a natural channel.
The pavement section along the LACFCD
levee areas must remain at the same
grade as existing and present no
additional encroachment in the channel.
Any railing installed will likely be required
by LACFCD to prove that there is no
entrapment of debris that would cause a
rise in the water surface elevation of the
channel. Due to the limited nature of work
to install fencing and repave the existing asphalt concrete road atop the levee, coupled with the lack of slope stabilization along the creek, we have assumed that the nature of the project will not cause a rise in water surf ace elevation and not require modeling or reporting for LACF CD. As such this task is not included in our scope for this project. However, we have successfully completed such modeling on previous projects and if required by LACFCD we can prepare an amendment to include this report for this project.

SAUGUS PHASE I: BOUQUET CANYON
TRAIL TO CENTRAL PARK
PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
Potential Impacts to Drainage Basin
Near the western entrance to Central Park,
grading for the bike trail may impact an
existing small drainage basin adjacent to
the existing sidewalk on Bouquet Canyon.
Any capacity lost would need to be
mitigated by either deepening the existing
basin or d eveloping other strategies such
as the installation of dry wells, overflow
basins, or pump systems which are often
undesirable due to maintenance issues . As
the proposed Bike Trail passes by this
drainage basin at the South Entrance of Central Park there is limited room between the existing sidewalk on the east side of the drive and the basin. Impacts to basin capacity must be considered and minimized and/or mitigated as required by the LA County Flood Control District and property owners since the Trail will impact the basin due to limited clearance to existing infrastructure on either side of the basin.
The alternative depicted in our Project Overview Exhibit, which matches the City’s layout provided with the RFP , illustrates the Trail traversing the parking lot side of this basin, with potential impacts to existing fully grown trees and parking lot lights. Additionally, there is an existing chain link fence that will likely need to be relocated along the basin side of the trail as it appears to be a safety feature to limit access to the basin thus lodge pole fencing may not be allowed here.
Another alternative is to the route the Trail through this area and widen the section adjacent to the sidewalk and roadway to accommodate the 10-ft wide Trail, shoulders, and required fencing offset s. This encroachment on the existing basin would require the construction of a retaining wall between the Trail and basin , a significant amount of regrading within the basin, or potentially the design of a cantilevered trail section that allows water beneath the Trail. Another potential solution to reducing impact on this portion of the basin is a raised Trail crossing over the basin.
Property Owner Coordination
From the park and along the channel , the proposed Trail passes behind 32 private properties adjacent to Bouquet Creek. While it is not anticipated for the trail improvements to extend into any residential parcels, it will be important to engage with those residents early and often so that they understand the project and any potential impacts during construction, as well as the benefits provided by the Trail. Existing private property features such as gates, fences, drainage outlets, and trees as well as access to utility poles will need to be accommodated in the final designs.
As the Trail traverses the “S-Turn” from the park towards the channel, proposed improvements such as grading and potential cross-culvert will need to be coordinated with LA County Flood Control to ensure no negative impacts to the channel are created. There appears to be an
approximate vertical difference of five feet between the Trail along the park as compared to the paved path along the channel, with the channel segment being lower. Like the park entrance area, this area also appears to have the potential to be a basin for water prior to entering the channel. Proper evaluation of flow patterns, topography, and project alternatives will need to occur efficiently to establish proposed improvements with the least negative impact and biggest benefit in this area. With segments at Existing Drainage Basin

SAUGUS PHASE I: BOUQUET CANYON
TRAIL TO CENTRAL PARK
PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
either end of the Trail in SCVWA and LA County Flood Control District rights of way, access for construction and future maintenance will also need to be thoroughly coordinated with these important stakeholders. At the southern end of the natural portion of the Bouquet Creek Channel there is a naturally vegetated drainage feature where portions of the park drain directly to the channel. This area may require some minor drainage work such as a cross culvert under the proposed bike path to allow drainage to maintain its current flow pattern.
Park Accessibility During Construction
The Bike Trail will begin at the
main park entrance but will not
impact the existing traffic signal
with this phase of construction.
There is potential for a small
retaining wall along the portion
of Trail adjacent to the roadway
in that area. Once the Trail
passes the first drainage basin,
we come across the park’s secondary, stop-controlled entrance. Vehicles turning off Bouquet Canyon Road to the park at this entrance do not have to stop, while those exiting the park are required to stop before turning right only.
Although this is not the main park entrance, it will be important to maintain safety during stage d construction of the Trail to minimize conflicts. Proper placement of advanced warning signs for any closure of this park entrance will be essential for year-round safety and accessibility to the park and public gardens.
We have depicted the potential layout of an at-grade crossing on our Project Overview Exhibit, with the Trail crossing placed further away from Bouquet Canyon Road than the existing pedestrian crossing. This is done for two reasons, the first (1) is to allow vehicles turning off Bouquet Canyon Road into the p ark the opportunity to slow before meeting the Trail crossing and the second (2) is to separate the existing pedestrian crossing from the future Trail crossing for visibility from vehicles. We would also propose a raised crosswalk for the Trail at this cro ssing to require vehicles to slow for Trail users. Depending on available funding, another option could be to create a box culvert undercrossing to eliminate the potential conflicts presented with an at-grade crossing. Construction of a 2 -section box culvert could be completed over a weekend closure of the entrance; however, the likelihood of utility conflicts would be significantly increased due to depth of excavations.
Impacts to Trees and Public Gardens
The proposed Trail runs adjacent to a Community Garden as well as existing trees. Per discussion at the pre-proposal meeting, t here should be no impact to the Community Garden s. Any trees removed by the project are to be mitigated at a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, pending final coordination. To avoid costly impacts of these features, the Trail will be designed to minimize grading with the potential to install MSE walls where needed. Environmental specialists can also be consulted to ensure the impacts of the Trail design and its associated structures will not have any unintended consequences for the existing foliage. Additionally, our team of in -house structural designers can aid in the assessment of structural design impacts to offer alternative footing or structure designs as needed. We have recently developed special designs to protect in place street trees around widened or newly placed sidewalks that allow their root structures to remain intact and water to pass beneath pedestrian paths to maintain tree health and vitality.

Public Engagement
Dokken Engineering, and our Project Manager Mike Greer , have extensive experience in public involvement and outreach meetings. We have in -house Spanish translation and interpretation services that are fluent in the language of bicycle facilities. This has proven to be an invaluable tool for our past clients by providing a comprehensive public outreach program that goes above and beyond what is required under State and Fe deral environmental guidelines. By including the public in the process and encouraging public input on our projects, Dokken can identify potentially controversial issues and provide responses in the form of design alternatives in the project planning proce ss prior to project’s going to bid and construction.

PS&E
Dokken Engineering performed design
services under an on -call contract with the
City of Santee to s upport the construction
of the San Diego River Trail – Walker
Preserve, north of the San Diego River
between Magnolia Avenue and Marathon
Parkway. The scope of services for the trail
included preliminary alignment engineering, right -of-
way engineering,
technical studies, public outreach, bid document preparation, design support during construction, and record drawing preparation. The construction cost for the project was approximately $2M. The City filed a Categorical Exemption (CE) to the California Enviro
nmental Quality Act
(CEQA) for this project since the trail is a minor alteration of land that does not remove healthy, mature trees.
The project included a 1.3 -mile long, 14- foot wide, multi -use public trail within an existing 24-foot wide unpaved haul road previously used by RCP Block and Brick for sand mining operations along the San Diego River on a 107-acre riverfront property. The trail surface consists of 4-inch thick, compacted and stabilized disintegrated granite (D.G.) bordered by a 2-inch by 6-inch composite header boards to keep the surface material in place.
Two-rail lodge pole fencing runs along the trail on both sides, with occasional “pop-outs” for visitors to rest and view the San Diego River on park benches and picnic tables. The project also includes the placement of informational kiosks and interpretive signs, a 20-foot square shade shelter, solar lighting, and potable water amenities such as a drinking fountain, pet fountain, mister, and new fire hydrant. The trail head area has been landscaped with native and drought -tolerant shrubs and trees and is irrigated with recycled water. The other disturbed areas within the existing haul road were replanted with a non-irrigated native seed mix.
Following preliminary alignment studies and prepar ation of a landscape concept plan, Dokken Engineering and the City of Santee hosted an open house public meeting to share the design and public improvements with the community. The Dokken Engineering team also prepared a drainage study and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in addition to a cultural study to identify archaeologically sensitive sites and a habitat management plan that documents biological resources.
The design of this project evaluated mobility, civil infrastructure, beautification, amenities, and community and environmental considerations in just 8 months. Funding for this project was provided by grants from the Coastal Conservancy, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the State of California Wildlife Conserv
ation Board, the California State Parks
Recreation Trails, Propositions 12 and 84, and local funds from the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

The City of Palm Desert
identified the San Pablo
Avenue Corridor as a key area
for transformation to create a
downtown/city center north
of Highway 111. Dokken
Engineering was selected by
the City of Palm Desert to complete PS&E for the Phase I reconfiguration of the San Pablo Avenue Corridor to comply with the goals of the adopted City General Plan. While providing construction support for Phase I, Dokken staff assisted the City with submi ttal of an ATP Grant Application to fund Phase II improvements. Successfully being awarded the $3.2 million ATP Grant, the City again selected Dokken Engineering to complete the Phase II PS&E work. The City hosted public outreach events including “Vision San Pablo” and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive for the transformation of the San Pablo Avenue Corridor into a new downtown area for Palm Desert.
Both phases proposed a “road diet” to reduce the existing travel lanes on San Pablo Avenue from four to
two lanes between Highway 111 to
Magnesia Fall Drive. The Project included components such as roadway improvements, bike lanes, ADA curb ramps, bulb-
outs, planter islands,
drainage facilities, traffic signal improvements, expansion of street parking, landscaping, and installation of artistic features. The goal of the project was to provide an attractive downtown corridor connecting pedestrians, motorist, and cyclists to residential neighborhoods, shopping, restaurants, Palm Desert City Hall, College of the Desert, and Civic Center Park. The design included widened, multi-level sidewalks with shade trees and street furniture, enhancements to the existing community gardens, parking improvements throughout the corridor, and construction of single -lane roundabouts at the San Gorgonio Way, College of the Desert/Civic Center Driveway, and Magnesia Falls Drive intersections. Both phases also added raised midblock crosswalks with in -pavement roadway warning lights to improve pedestrian safety and mobility.
The Phas e I corridor improvements provide pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists with a fun and safe experience near shopping, restaurants, schools, and civic buildings. The varied mini park improvements along existing community gardens required access to the garden s be always maintained. Varied mini park improvements included installation of a bocce ball court, exercise equipment, play and musical equipment, along with ample seating for residents to relax and dine.
The Phase II corridor improvements differ from Phase I by providing a separated cycle track for bikes and neighborhood electric vehicles that connect the City’s offices, recreational space, and the College of the Desert with Phase I. Existing drainage patt erns in this flat elevation environment also needed to be maintained while a new system was installed near the north end of the project.

Dokken Engineering prepared the
Plans, Specifications and Estimate
(PS&E) for the new, multi -use
path and new overcrossing of
Folsom Lake Crossing Road to
connect the existing East Lake
Natoma and Folsom Lake
Crossing trails.
The Johnny Cash Trail was
designated by the Folsom City Council in recognition of the international notoriety by Johnny Cash through his 1955 song, “Fol som Prison Blues.” This project was developed by the City in order to reflect the City of Folsom’s community values of encouraging alternative transportation, facilitating outdoor recreation, supporting the areas, and celebrating its historical heritage; s pecifically the legacy of Johnny Cash and his relationship to the second oldest prison in California. The overcrossing is especially unique in that it was designed with towers reflecting the look of the Romanesque tower of the Folsom State Prison’s east gate.
The project was broken into three major segments:
Phase I: Folsom Lake Crossing Bike/Pedestrian Overcrossing to the Folsom Prison Road intersection
Phase II: Folsom Prison entry road with an undercrossing of Folsom Prison Road and a bridge over the ravine to Rodeo Park
Phase III: Folsom Lake Crossing Bike/Pedestrian Overcrossing to the El Dorado County line
The overcrossing features a 155 -foot
weathering steel prefabricated steel
truss main span, with 62 -foot precast
UltraBlock abutment approaches
featuring cut stone architectural
treatment reminiscent of the granite
prison walls. Formed concrete gateway
towers capped by standing seam,
weathering steel “witches hat” roofs anchor the main span, providing both a visual tie to the prison and the ominous feeling of entering a prison for trail users crossing the bridge. Accent lighting of the outsides of the towers and security lighting along the bridge complete the effect.
Key issues for this project included the incorporation of aesthetic features that meet the City’s vision of a signature crossing, are buildable, and fit within the available funding, an aggressive grant funding deadline for design, careful planning of drainage design to avoid right of way and tree impacts, the undergrounding of telephone utilities, and consideration of overhead utilities during planned construction of the overcrossing.

3. PLAN OF STUDY/SCOPE OF WORK
The Dokken Engineering Team, referred to as “Dokken” throughout this Scope of Work, will perform professional and technical engineering services to prepare the construction documents and bid package for authorization to award. This Scope of Work includes a review of the hydraulic and hydrologic designs, civil design, construction cost estimates, specifications, topographical survey, utility research and coordination, preparation of contract documents, and other related support services pursuant to the impro vements of the Saugus Phase I: Bouquet Canyon Trail to Central Park.
SCOPE OF WORK
We have reviewed the work statement and draft scope of work provided with the RFP and evaluated the need for additional or Optional Tasks as identified below. The following is a detailed scope of services, roughly based on the City’s outline, required to successfully deliver this project with Tasks, Subtasks, and Deliverables (a.k.a. Outputs):
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management includes project setup, regular meet ings, deliveries, presentation of work products, development and monitoring of action items, monthly progress reports, work progress monitoring, budget monitoring, extensive communication, and coordination. Upon project kickoff a Project Development Team (PDT) will be established to include City of Santa Clarita staff, Dokken staff, and any other agency representative as deemed necessary to collaborate with stakeholders on the project. Dokken will maintain the same PDT throughout the life of the project to ensure continuity.
Subtask 1.1: Project Kick-off and PDT Meetings
Dokken Engineering will coordinate meetings with the City to facilitate decision making. For each meeting, Dokken will prepare the meeting agenda in consultation with the City Project Manager, provide meeting notices one week prior to the meeting, arrange for appropriate participants to attend, prepare meeting materials (including exhibits, task lists, and agenda), facilitate the meeting, and prepare/distribute meeting minutes within five business days of the meeting. Dokken will consult with the City’s project manager prior to each meeting to review upcoming meeting items. The following meetings are anticipated for this project:
• Kickoff Meeting (1): To start, Dokken will organize a kickoff meeting with key personnel, design team members and stakeholder representatives. The purpose of this meeting is to review the goals and objectives of the project, discuss each team member’s roles and responsibilities and identify critical project issues. • PDT Progress Meetings (12): The PDT meetings will be scheduled monthly and will serve as the primary forum for reviewing the status of the project and identifying and resolving project issues. A Project Schedule and Action Items List will be prepared and updated for each PDT meeting.

Subtask 2.1: Data Collection and Field Review
Dokken will obtain and review all available data developed as part of this project such as as -builts, available geotechnical and hydraulic studies, infrastructure improvement plans, topographic survey, survey ties, City benchmarks, existing right -of-way, City standards, underground and overhead utilities base maps, aerial photographs, and any applicable previous studies that have been conducted in the vicinity of the project site.
Dokken will perform site visits and take photos to identify and record design issues. Dokken will maintain a project file to log all documents obtained for the project.
Subtask 2.2: Topographic Surveying and Right of Way Engineering Survey Services will include collect City control points, run a traverse and level loop, and search and locate centerline and right o f way monumentation. Utilities identified in the field review will be shot to supplement existing topographic survey information, this includes survey ing of existing SCE power poles with electrical and communication lines within the project area. Right o f way /property lines will be researched and compared to existing drawings to plot and field search positions to compile a record base file. (This is not a boundary survey).
Subtask 2.3: Utility Investigations, Base Mapping, and Potholing Dokken will id entify any potential utility conflicts or areas where additional facility information is needed and coordinate utility potholes throughout the project limits as needed. Dokken will prepare a Pothole Location Exhibit, identifying proposed pothole locations with anticipated facilities to be encountered, requiring approval by the City’s Project Manager prior to scheduling any pothole work or request quotes from subsurface investigation subcontractors. A Utility Pothole Report, with photo logs and field measure ments, will be prepared by the utility investigation subcontractor; to be contracted with as an Other Direct Cost (ODC) for simplicity in billing purposes, flexibility in scheduling, and best potential for lowest negotiated price. We will survey each pothole location (six to eight potholes are anticipated) and update the utility base map to reflect positively identified locations, then revisit the previously identified conflicts to update information, identify additional potential conflicts, then revisit the need for additional potholes if necessary.
Subtask 2.4: Geotechnical Investigations and Report
Dokken will coordinate with the geotechnical subconsultant, RTF&A, to develop a plan for project geotechnical investigations to account for potentia l structure and drainage improvements . A geotechnical investigation of the eastern portion of the site where grading is anticipated would be performed to provide evaluation of existing site conditions and grading recommendations. The investigation would co nsist of excavating a series of backhoe test pits, soil sampling and laboratory testing to determine the engineering characteristics of the existing soils, and preparation of a report summarizing the findings and recommendations. Prior to the start of field work, the locations
Page | 15
SAUGUS PHASE I: BOUQUET CANYON TRAIL TO
CENTRAL PARK
PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
of the proposed test pits would be field marked and submitted to Underground Service Alert Southern California, DigAlert, for utility locating, as required. DigAlert requires three days advance notification prior to the start of any subsurface excavation. The scope of this proposal includes marking the site and submitting the required DigAlert request. A backhoe would be utilized to excavate four to six shallow test pits. The soils exposed within the test pits would be sampled and test ed to determine laboratory moisture and density relationships. A total of two bulk samples would be obtained for laboratory maximum density determinations.
The results of our field investigation and laboratory testing would be summarized within a formal report that would include recommendations for grading associated with the trail construction suitable for submittal to reviewing agencies. The scope of the investigation would be limited to near surface soils and would not include recommendations for bank pr otection grading along the adjacent flood control channel. Additional sampling for laboratory corrosion testing and R-value testing is not within this scope of work but can be provided as an optional service for additional fee.
Task 2 Deliverables: Documentation Logs; Field Review Notes; Topographic Survey Data and Base Map; Utility Pothole Report; Existing Utility Base Map; Geotechnical Design Report TASK 3: UTILITY COORDINATION
Subtask 3.1: Utility Coordination
Dokken will create a Utility Coordination Matrix to identify all utility agencies and facilities within the area, then systematically contact and meet with each one to engage planners and request as -builts via a 1 st Utility Notice prepared on City letterhead. Dokken will research and document via site visits, all utilities within the project limits and update the utility base map as needed. Second Utility Notices will be prepared for all utilities within the project area to notify each of the identification of potential conflicts and request confirmation along with a check of rights of ownership (i.e. cost liabilities). Meetings will be arranged as needed to gain concurrence of the proposed approach to each potential conflic t, and once in agreement, the need for utility relocation plans and utility agreements will be identified. Third Utility Notices will then be prepared and sent as a Notice to Relocate to each utility with an identified conflict. When agreements are in place and final plans are ready for bid a 4th Utility Notice will be sent to each as a Final Notice to Relocate Immediately, or as needed before or during construction.
Subtask 3.2: Utility Relocation Plans
Dokken will coordinate with impacted utilities to resolve any constructability requirements and prepare relocation plans as required.

PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
5. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Our management approach is to be an extension of the City staff and provide the City an experienced team. Our team will provide the resources and tools necessary to deliver this project with minimal oversight from the City staff.
LINES OF COMMUNICATION
It’s critical that the project team receives confirmation of the scope, budget and schedule prepared by Dokken from the City’ Project Manager. This review allows all parties to understand the project scope and schedule and the submittal milestones. In addition to monthly project team meetings, Dokken Engineering will keep the City Project Manager aware of progress through weekly emails and team conference calls. This approach allows the City Project Manager to provide any required input throughout the project development process.
SCHEDULE AND BUDGET CONTROL
In order to manage the three interdependent elements found in every project – scope, schedule, and budget – it is necessary to implement a sustainable project control methodology. Michael, our Project Manager, will develop and implement the project controls plan. The plan outlines the procedures for conducting work, managing project resources, and reporting project status and progress. The project management tools identified on the right assures on time and within budget project deliverables.
These tools will enable Michael to provide a systematic approach to deliver any project. All project participants, including the City and Dokken Engineering Team, will be aware of the project status in order to make informed management decisions. Our tools and system are designed to respond to these requirements.
Dokken Engineering prepares and maintains project schedules for every project. The schedules are monitored and staffing adjusted to meet milestones. Performance is monitored through quality control checks, review of actual versus planned progress, completion of action items prepared after meetings, monthly invoicing, and progress reporting. Dokken Engineering will use the City standards and formats, making invoice review streamlined and familiar to the City. For our team, quality is not just a priority, it is a core value.
Dokken Engineering has found that the best way to control budget is to ensure the project schedule is followed. This method avoids costly over -runs and extended production times. The key to preserving budgets is to start on time, get it right, and submit the deliverable on time. Utilizing the same design working group from the beginning of the project to the end ensures consistent thought and engineering practice, while eliminating wasteful hours spent “getting familiar” with a project.
The MS Project Schedule will be supplemented with a deliverables schedule that identifies all project deliverables and submittal dates. The deliverables schedule is a critical project management tool because it specifies what is being delivered to the client and when it is to be submitted. The deliverables schedule will be updated monthly and submitted as part of the monthly invoice to report on the sta tus of completed, in -progress and upcoming deliverables.
The combination of the budget and schedule showing task durations and sequencing will enable us to produce a time-phased budget. With a time- phased budget and a work -based method of measuring progres s, a reliable comparison on planned versus actual can be made.

PROPOSAL #ENG-21-22-C0066
PROJECT COMMUNICATION
As an extension of the City staff, Michael and his team will use a suite of communication mechanisms to keep the City informed and to maintain the project schedule. The following diagram identifies the key communication methods to deliver this project.
Dokken Engineering has long-standing history of delivering projects with multiple team members and stakeholders, and we have established communication protocols that all team members understand. We host weekly internal team conference calls to track progress and keep everyone current on project status and recent decisions that affect their awareness and productivity. Our number one goal when working with our clients is successful project delivery.
We identify risks early in the process and develop ways to mitigate these risks. We work closely with o ur clients to keep them informed on the status of their project and any pending decisions, and we are extremely responsive to their needs.
QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
Dokken Engineering and our Team members are committed to the City of Santa Clarita in delivering project documents whose quality exceeds the Industry standards. Quality is not just a priority; it is one of our core values.
From the project outset, QA/QC procedures will be implemented in accordance with the project Scope of Work. Our procedures incorporate continuous product review cycles during plan development, as well as a series of formal review procedures completed for major project deliverables. The review of deliverables needed to satisfy the QA/QC procedure is built into our proposed schedule. The flow chart below outlines our process:
We take quality very seriously, as a quality plan set provides the most competitive bidding opportunities for projects and helps keep projects within their overall budgets, ultimately resulting in a high -quality project being built, on time, and with minimal or no change orders.

Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto). Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as “additional insureds” under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deem ed “primary” such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will be on an “occurrence,” not a “claims made,” basis a nd will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY. (ii) Professional liability coverage will be on an “occurrence basis” if such coverage is available, or on a “claims made” basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of at least three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
(B) CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, including endorsements, and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time.

(D) Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT’s expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to TERMINATION section. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this Agreement, City may terminate this Agreement immediately with no penalty. (E) Should CONSULTANT’S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation. Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancellation.
