BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

Green Valley Consulting Engineers is on the City’s Prequalified Consultants List with a fully executed Master Agreement. However, the City inadvertently let their Master Agreement term lapse in 2022 and staff is requesting approval of a new Master Agreement and extend the term of the agreement to 2026 (Attachment 1).

A Request for Proposal (RFP) for Federal-aid transportation projects was released with proposals due on May 25, 2023. There are two federal-aid (grant) projects recently bid and awarded, namely, the Bodega Avenue Bike Lanes and Pavement Rehab Phase 1 project; and the SR 116 Curb Ramps and Crosswalk Safety Improvements at Bodega/Florence and Bodega/Robinson project. Both projects are receiving federal grant funding. Both projects need a construction management team to perform construction management, inspection and materials testing services.

RFPs were sent to five engineering firms on the City’s Prequalified Consultants List and of the five, only Green Valley Consulting Engineers submitted a proposal (Attachment 2). Staff has reviewed the proposal for Green Valley Consulting Engineers and recommends they be selected to perform the work based on their qualifications and ability to do the work. City staff interviewed Green Valley on June 14, 2023 and has determined that based on their Proposal submitted and their interview, that Green Valley be selected to perform the construction management services.

Re: RFP for CM Services For-Federal Aid Capital Improvements Projects Dear Reyna:

This proposal issued by the City is for CM and inspection services for 2 CIP projects that have federal funding involved. These 2 projects are very typical of the work that the staff of Green Valley manage during the construction phase. We are experienced with federal funding requirements and understand the strict oversight we need to work under to satisfy the District 4 personnel.

We have the capabilities to manage both projects simultaneously and have worked with both Contractors for well over a decade. The State Route 116 project will need to be coordinated with another CIP project that the City is constructing this summer for the ped ramp work at Robinson Rd.

The State Route 116 & Bodega Ave Pedestrian Improvements Project will have significant traffic control measures that will need enforced for both vehicle and pedestrian safety and the public outreach along the limits will be substantial. Our firm excels in public outreach and on this job, we would be going house to house giving residents a flyer on exactly what the job will entail and when it will happen.

The Bodega Ave. Bike Lane and Pavement Rehabilitation Project also has significant traffic volumes that will need to be monitored and re-routed as available.

With a Caltrans certified CM heading our team – Jason Balatti, we can ensure the City that we understand the significance of documentation, proper paperwork, checking every single quantity twice and most important – constant and on-going communication between our team and Caltrans, our team and the City and our team and the residents.

We can’t tell you that we will manage your Projects to the level you need, we can only show you – and for that, we ask for the opportunity! We would not be in business after 27 years providing these services if we did not provide excellent services to our clients.

If you require additional information on this proposal or have questions specific to our proposed team, please do not hesitate to contact me. We have reviewed and understand the contract terms and scope of services as detailed in the RFP.

She was the Construction Manager and/ or QA/QC technician on numerous large-scale road projects, including all phases of the Stony Point Road Widening and Pacific Avenue Reconstruction. Since joining GVCE, she has completed several challenging CIP projects in the role of CM, most recently with Matt Messenger as her inspector on the Delta Pond Improvements. She has exceptional communication skills that come into use when managing complex and challenging CIP infrastructure projects with environmental and technical challenges at every stage. She is a GREAT candidate for the City’s numerous CIP projects with her knowledge of City means and methods, contacts with the various Agencies from her City of Santa Rosa experience and working relationships with local Contractors in the area. She has the skills to successfully manage dynamic traffic control layouts and facilitate pre-paving and paving day plans. She also has the technical knowledge to construct detailed ADA improvements with no “wiggle room” on frontage tolerances.

Construction Inspector(s)
We have several exceptionally qualified inspectors that are currently available for this assignment and have included the resumes and brief outline of just a couple, with the primary inspector - Matt Messenger. He is currently available and is a GREAT candidate for these Projects if they start up as scheduled. He is the City of Cotati’s main go-to inspector for their annual paving projects, varying from the fast-paced Type II and Type III slurry seals to the technically detailed FDR and the Cold Foamed In Place reconstructions along with neighborhood utility infrastructure upgrades.

Both Matt and Nick understand the technical details of various paving techniques and underground utilities and work with the Contractor, material testing representative(s), and CM on the placement of materials to meet project specifications. Our team follow a strict checklist to meet all contract, materials testing, and project completion requirements. In addition, Jason and Nick have worked on numerous flat work projects thus facilitating any problems that need to be resolved before construction starts.

GVCE inspectors understand that paving projects often entail long days, weekends, and nights at times, and necessitates managing residential neighborhoods with heavy pedestrian traffic. The inspectors are familiar with the importance of notifying occupants along the job limits of upcoming water shutoffs, driveway impacts during paving operations, and other significant items that impact a person’s day-to-day life. All of them also have an excellent understanding of Caltrans Standards and Procedures. “It’s been a busy summer and we could
not have done it without the help of
GVCE’s CM Team. South Starr Road had
enough hiccups to keep everyone busy.

Our Construction Manager, Jason Balatti,
was extremely helpful in solving the
(many) unexpected field issues. We look
forward to utilizing GVCE’s CM Services
on future CIP projects.”

We are proposing a new role on our team – that of CM Support via a Senior Field Superintendent.

Rather than listing administrative staff or Project Coordinators, we believe the City would benefit from an enhanced team on this assignment with the technical and management skills equivalent to our proposed CM and Inspector(s). The field superintendent can support our inspection team as well as the dedicated CM with his strong background of working both for a large Contractor and then with 15+ years as the main construction coordinator for the City of Petaluma – Mel Manni.

Mel Manni, Senior Field Superintendent
Mel is an accomplished Construction Inspector
with experience working both on the Contractor
side and on the inspection side of municipal
infrastructure projects. He recently was inspector
on the City’s Howarth Park improvements in the
City. He familiarizes himself with all the relevant
standards and applicable codes and works closely
with City representatives to ensure they are satisfied with the end product before final acceptance. His experience includes water, sewer and storm drain infrastructure, as well as bike and pedestrian trails, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, streetlights and various methods of pavement reconstruction and resurfacing.

He has been commended for his construction oversight skills from his clients, local businesses and residents, and project superintendents for turning what could be difficult situations into pleasant and accommodating experiences.

Matt Messenger, Construction Inspector
Matt has over 25 years of experience in the surveying and construction industry and spent the first part of his career working with Sean Lawson. He has the skills and experience such that he has spent the last five years as an inspector for Green Valley on numerous large downtown utility and paving projects for the Town of Windsor, the City of Cotati, and the City of Rohnert Park, as well as working as the encroachment inspector for the City of Rohnert Park and the Town of Windsor. He most recently was the inspector for Santa Rosa’s Colgan Creek Improvement Project. His most recent Cotati experience as a lead inspector for the 2021 West Side Street Construction and Improvements Project, which was in the heart of downtown Cotati at the “hub,” had him managing extensive public outreach by GV’s office team and inspecting significant full-depth reclamation (FDR) paving with a dynamic traffic control plan and coordination with area residents and businesses. His experience includes street and roadway reconstruction, pavement rehabilitation, water and sewer main projects, and storm drain installations. He was also responsible for the City of Cotati’s Pavement Re-surfacing Project on Old Redwood Highway and East Cotati Avenue, a high-traffic volume corridor with significant pedestrian traffic directly in front of the City’s Fire Department. He has a thorough understanding of FDR and paving methods and standards.

Matt is known for educating and keeping residents informed of construction activities and minimizing possible delays to project progress. He has been commended for his construction oversight skills by his clients, local businesses, residents, and the Contractors themselves! Construction

Nick Magliulo, Construction Inspector
Nick has numerous years of experience working in
the construction trade. He has experience working on
serval pavement and underground utility projects with
Green Valley. Nick recently completed the North Trunk
Sewer Replacement Project with its extensive drilling
and boring under Sean Lawson’s supervision. We
encourage you to contact Mike Prinz for his viewpoint;
he is very familiar with Nick and his work ethic. His most recent project was with the County of Sonoma as lead inspector working for Mimi as CM on the annual pavement overlay project – a massive $16,000,000 paving project specific to those roadways damaged by the 2017 fires. With several crews working in different areas, Nick could work concurrently with Joey Petroni to manage and oversee each construction crew such that the Project was successfully closed out on schedule. This recently completed project required extensive and ongoing public outreach to the residents about the daily construction activities and future activities that would impact the residents and businesses.

The best way we can demonstrate experience is to ask you to speak with your peers. If you do not come away after checking feeling without a doubt that we can do the job to the level you want your design to be constructed, then I gladly will ask you to choose the team that does give this confidence! We learn from each assignment and think the best way to use those lessons is to hopefully have your trust in letting us put the knowledge to work on THIS Project! We are excited to have another opportunity to use the GVCE public outreach skills gained on projects such as the recent Windsor Roundabout, SCRP Foothill Bridge Improvements and the City of Santa Rosa Delta Pond Improvements.

Jared Elmore, Construction Inspector
Jared was born into the construction industry, following in the footsteps of his brother, father, and grandfather who worked in the field as skilled tradesmen. Tradition aside, Jared says that he “would not anything else” as he most enjoys “working in a fastpaced, hands-on environment where no two days are ever the same”. Jared made the jump from Contractor to Consultant with the singular intention of ensuring that his clients receive nothing less than the quality, built-to-last products which they are paying for. Jared holds a Certified Project Management certificate from Sonoma State University which focuses on a project’s lifecycle – initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Since joining Green Valley, he has been working on one of our firm’s largest and longest development projects: Vast Oak Subdivision.

Jared is an accomplished Construction Inspector with experience working both on the Contractor side and on the inspection side of municipal infrastructure projects. He recently was inspector on the University District improvements in the City of Rohnert Park where he was responsible for the public infrastructure of the 1600 unit housing project. He familiarizes himself with all the relevant standards and applicable codes and works closely with City representatives to ensure they are satisfied with the end product before final acceptance. His experience includes water, sewer and storm drain infrastructure, as well as bike and pedestrian trails, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, streetlights and pavement resurfacing.

He has been commended for his construction oversight skills from his clients, local businesses and residents, and project superintendents for turning what could be difficult situations into pleasant and accommodating experiences.

Caltrans improvement Projects were located on State Routes and U.S. Highway 101 throughout Mendocino and Lake Counties. They ranged in value from $600,000 to $15 million dollars and consisted of safety upgrades (roundabout construction and metal beam guardrail installation); drainage system replacements (culverts, pipes, downdrains, inlets, and rock slope protection); and pavement maintenance (Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt overlays.) Work has also included emergency highway repairs in Lake County after the Valley Fire. Inspection ensured all FHWA and Caltrans standards including specific field construction tasks from the Workplan Standards Guide.

One of the greatest priorities when overseeing construction on a Caltrans project is ensuring work zone safety and mobility for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and workers. Projects require lane closures, altered traffic patterns, and day- and nighttime construction activities along heavily trafficked roadways. Green Valley is proficient at enforcing, assessing, and modifying highway traffic controls. With each GVCE project, we utilize the required safety practices within the latest Caltrans Construction Manual, California Code of Regulations (Cal/OSHA) – Title 8, California Construction Contract Standards, and the CA MUTCD. Our goal is always to keep traffic flowing, educate and “keep the public happy,” and establish long-term Client and Contractor relationships.

335 Tesconi Circle • Santa Rosa, CA 95401 • tel: 707.579.0388 • www.gvalley.com Green Valley Consulting Engineers performed the Construction Management and Inspection for both phases of this Federally-funded $3 million dollar resurfacing project which rehabilitated just over one-and-a-quarter-miles of Rohnert Park Expressway (RPX) – a primary east/west, four-lane arterial. Project limits extended westward from Snyder Lane to Commerce Boulevard (located adjacent to the Highway 101 interchange) and involved work in three major 4-way intersections, including the City’s busiest and most collision-prone. Altogether, the project involved 4,000 SY of digout repairs, structural pavement modifications, day, nighttime, and weekend paving operations, utility adjustments, concrete curb and gutter, ADA ramp, and median curb replacements, new colorized bike lanes, new pavement striping/markings/markers, the installation of GridSmart (camera) intersection traffic management systems, and the rehabilitation of the City Library’s parking lot. Followed Caltrans and City Standards & Requirements.

Maintaining pedestrian-safe, ADA-compliant, and one-lane vehicular access was paramount in this multi-use (school/government/commercial/residential) area which experiences heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Daily communication – from cone up to cone down – kept the City’s Dept. of Public Safety informed of all lane/road closures and changes throughout the day. Additional challenges included providing uninterrupted emergency vehicle access along the corridor, maintaining access to the Library, local businesses, and three major shopping centers, working within a couple hundred yards of Highway 101, and coordinating with adjacent projects (SMART Rail, Snyder Lane Widening, and Petaluma Hill Road Pavement Preservation – 2016, County of Sonoma).

Green Valley Consulting Engineers
335 Tesconi Circle • Santa Rosa, CA 95401 • tel: 707.579.0388 • www.gvalley.com Green Valley Consulting Engineers was selected to provide Construction Management and Inspection services for
this $4M pavement rehabilitation project throughout the City’s West side and downtown. Green Valley developed
a proactive approach to notifying and establishing
communications with the surrounding neighborhood.

Residents and businesses were provided an upfront schedule illustrating when the work would affect their ingress or egress. This prevented confusion from those directly impacted by the work. Green Valley also reviewed, approved and ensured compliance of a comprehensive Traffic Control Program (TCP) which provided advance warning to the travelling public and reduced neighborhood inconvenience.

The paving rehabilitation was completed by various methods: a 2-1/2 inch Asphalt Overlay, Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) and slurry seal. An overlay is best utilized when a roadway has deteriorated, but the base has not yet been compromised. Digout repairs were identified by our inspector to address localized failures, prior to the overlay. FDR, while providing a cost savings, is ideally suited for long straight thoroughfares. This process utilizes the existing asphalt and base to create a new, stable base section for fresh pavement to be placed. Our experience with the FDR process in the prevalent, expansive, adobe clay assured the successful completion of the project. Slurry seals are an effective preventative maintenance measure that rejuvenates lightly deteriorated pavement with new oil. Additionally, the mix between these methods provided the City with the desired final product below the budgeted cost. This project also required upgrades to curb ramps per ADA standards. Our inspector worked with the contractor to field fit these ramps, within the tolerances allowed. Due to a proactive approach to identifying deficiencies, the project was completed with a minimal punch list and no construction claims.

Green Valley provided Construction Management and
Inspection for this $2.25M extensive paving rehabilitation located in the heart of downtown Cotati and surrounding neighborhoods. The aggressive schedule required
multiple weeks of day work and night work along with a
dynamic and on-going public outreach program with the
business community and residents. The work included
milling, grinding and overlay of the heavily travelled Old Redwood Highway and East Cotati Avenue, and pavement reconstruction within the City’s residential “L Section” just south of East Cotati Avenue. Included were digout repairs, the use of two separate pavement treatments – Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) and a two-inch Asphalt Concrete (AC) Overlay, and the protection of curbs/gutters/sidewalks, new fire hydrants, and storm drain structures, the replacement of existing curb ramps to current ADA standards, wedge and conform grinding, stamped AC concrete crosswalks, in-street utility structure adjustments, the installation of speed cushions, pedestrian crosswalks at intersections, pavement striping and markings, hydrant markers, and pole signage.

On-going coordination
with PG&E was needed
to mitigate unforeseen
conflicts and proactively
adjust facilities owned by
the Utility. The project was
completed with minimal
punch list items and no
construction claims.

Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Sebastopol | On-Call Services FOR Federal Aid Projects Project Approach and Understanding
Project Approach and Understanding
The City of Sebastopol is requesting proposals from qualified consultants who can provide Construction Management and Inspection services for several upcoming City projects. This proposal is for those projects that have federal funding involved. There will be a possibility for various materials testing, environmental monitoring, etc. under the proposed Contract as well which will be provided by a subconsultant to Green Valley Consulting Engineers (GVCE).

As a full-service consulting firm that is based in Santa Rosa and teaming with proven subconsultants as needed we believe that the team of Green Valley Consulting Engineers is ideally suited for this contract.

We understand not only Caltrans procedures and standards, which is how we administer ALL our work (Federal and non), but also understand the City’s Standards and Specifications. It is critical that our team maintain 100% compliance with all Federal and Local funding requirements and knowledge of the Agency standards for whom they are working.

Green Valley is fully qualified to provide the complete and detailed scope of work that was outlined in the RFP issued by the City. We have not repeated this scope of work and instead, by reference, agree to adhere to all the items outlined. In the Appendix, you will find a detailed scope of work for CM and Inspection that we provide for our CIP projects.

Our Approach & Process
Our initial task, once we receive the project scope from the City, will be to make a site visit with all team members, including any environmental representative, surveyor, engineer, and City Project Manager. We will document site conditions and any constraints that may impact construction or permits that are issued. The site will be photographed for future reference in the office.

At this time we have already spent 4 hours reviewing and documenting with photos both of the projects in this RFP.

Requiring the Contractor to maintain a strict schedule that aligns with the contracted number of working days is rule #1 for our own budget – as we estimate our jobs/budgets by the number of working days. If the working days are exceeded, then it gives the City a very clear understanding of any additional costs that will be required by their CM/Inspection team.

Having a senior CM head the project assigned is also one of our strongest tools for keeping within budgets, both on our own budget and the Contractor’s as the CM understands the Caltrans rules and requirements that in large part drive the work and schedule…and thus budget. When a Contractor does not follow these rules then our CM steps in and communicates the consequences and the steps needed to bring the Contract back on track.

Once a clear understanding of the project has been obtained, we will prepare a pre-construction agenda per our standard scope of work which can be found in the Appendix. A preconstruction meeting will be scheduled, and the schedule will be set once the NTP is issued.

The following is a brief understanding of each project that will be constructed this year. The following work can easily be managed by one CM from Green Valley with the assistance of an inspector on each Project.

State Route (SR) 116 & Bodega Avenue Pedestrian Improvements (CIP Project #1000-

19.01)
The work generally includes the installation of a number of new ADA compliant pedestrian ramps on intersections of Hwy 116 with the following City streets: Hurlbut Ave., Cleveland Ave., Main Street, and Wallace Street.

There will be new RRFB, signage and safety striping at Bodega and Robinson Road as well as at Bodega and Florence Avenue.

This work will involve coordination with another Contractor for the ped ramp work at Florence and Robinson.

The Contract was awarded to Pat Nelson Construction for $515,052.00. It is anticipated that the work will start mid-June 2023 and Contractor must complete the work within 50 working days or face liquidated damages of $1000/day.

The SR 116 and Bodega Ave. project is typical of many that our team manages for the City of Santa Rosa and Town of Windsor. The project will have minor drainage improvements involved and miscellaneous utility lids/ boxes adjusted to grade.

We did a very detailed walk thru of the project and found the following items to be typical for an older neighborhood. • Traffic Control Plan will need to be strictly enforced and monitored, especially on weekends
• Significant foot traffic that will need to be re-routed with pedestrian traffic plans and signage
• Access to the Fire Station will need to be 24/7 and coordinated closely for the various operations • Challenging concrete work to conform the new pours with the “fragile and poor conditions” of existing concrete
• Challenging conform grading at the ADA pedestrian ramps with a number of power poles for work around
• On-street parking will need to be tightly monitored and “NO PARKING” zones enforced as required
• Mature landscaping right at the frontage lines
• Tree roots and limb overhangs
• Significant and on-going public outreach will be a must on this project!
This is the kind of project that GVCE excels at and our clients will all attest to our public outreach methods to the neighborhoods and hands on approach to keep residents informed every step of the way.

Bodega Avenue Bike Lanes and Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 1 (CIP Project #0513-

74.09)
The City intends to award a contract on May 16 to Argonaut Constructors for $892,585.00 with 90 working days for the re-construction of Bodega Avenue from Nelson Way to N. High Street, with new ADA compliant ramps at the intersecting streets as well as at Robinson Rd. and Florence Way.

Specifically, work will include cold planing existing AC pavement, placing new hot mix AC, adjusting the utility boxes to grade, reconstructing the ramps to current ADA requirements, and removing and replacing curb, gutter and sidewalk as noted on plans. Work will include new striping and signing and miscellaneous drainage improvements. There is an additive bid with additional work which may be added.

Key Considerations:
• Stake the right of entry or right of way prior to start of work • One way traffic will be required and there will be significant traffic delays during paving operations
• Dig-outs may be needed due to existing pavement conditions • Significant impacts to community with the road restrictions affecting school and summer activities at the school
• Possible replacement of additional curb and gutter due to poor existing conditions that will not hold up to construction equipment
• Long days will be likely on paving days
• Project will need experienced labor compliance staff on team • Confirm if funding agencies need any materials documented prior to start of construction • Pedestrian safety measures in place 24/7
Communication
We know that the City does not need a consulting firm that requires a great deal of handholding or managing. They need a firm that has a zero-learning curve and will take the project on with minimal input from staff – this firm is Green Valley.

She is known for her innovative, sustainable, and cost-saving approach when it comes to design alternatives and field solutions. Her projects boast the industry recognition to prove it! Related Project Management Experience
2019 Fulton Road Reconstruction, City of Santa Rosa. This high-profile $4M pilot pavement project set the precedent for future roadway rebuilds throughout the Bay Area. Faced with cost-prohibitive bids and high cost of traditional building materials (post-wildfires), the City chose a novel approach for reconstructing this mile-long stretch of Fulton Road. Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) proved an ideal alternative given its successful use in other structural applications (dams & runways). Additionally, he provided exceptional public outreach to ensure neighborhood safety and satisfaction given haul routes which extended through the residential streets of the City’s west end. Project success also hinged on achieving smooth HMA pavement transitions at numerous intersections and side streets.

Highway 12 Corridor Improvement Project Phase II, Stage 2, County of Sonoma. (Construction Management & Inspection) $6M construction project which rehabilitated State Route 12 within “The Springs” area of Sonoma County. Included roadway widening to accommodate a protected center turn lane, asphalt pavement replacement, traffic signal modifications, and the installation of curbs/gutters/ADA sidewalks, bidirectional, decorative street lighting, stormwater treatment devices, and pedestrian amenities.

Challenges included finding and relocating a large number of existing underground utilities (electric, gas, cable, and AT&T); minimizing disruptions to adjacent commercial parking lots and driveways; public outreach for the scheduling/sequencing of work with stakeholders, nighttime paving operations, and daily field engineering. Required extensive Caltrans coordination and approvals.

Related Project Experience
City of Santa Rosa, Pacific Avenue Reconstruction Project: Joey was the lead inspector on the replacement of 1000 lineal feet of existing PVC water main within Pacific Ave. at Humboldt Street intersection due to hydrocarbons that were detected in the subgrade. The 8” and 10” water main replacement was located directly down the centerline of a very busy main thoroughfare which required constant oversite of traffic control measures, road detours, and advance signage. Inspection required in-depth knowledge of the City of Santa Rosa’s blanket waivers to allow for this main to be installed near existing utilities. This water main replacement was installed without additional delay to the travelling public and completed within the estimated cost provided during design. Numerous appurtenances were installed including significant mainline valve “tees” at the intersection, new hydrants, mainline valves and water services and meters. Joey was commended by all for his working to keep traffic flowing.

City of Santa Rosa, North Trunk Sewer Main Installation Project: One of the two primary inspectors on this significant CIP infrastructure project that was almost 2 years in construction and had a dedicated third party media communications firm involved for the on-going public outreach efforts. The Project upgraded a deteriorating 50 yr old sewer trunk main via a combination of conventional open-cut installations and various methods of trenchless technologies in very challenging geotechnical conditions.

Conditions required night, weekend and sometimes 24/7 inspection coverage. Joey was recognized by residents for his diligence in following up on issues associated with off hour work, and work directly impacting their homes.

Crosstown Trunk Sewer Improvements, City of Santa Rosa: Inspector for this fast paced 39” diameter sewer trunk main rehabilitation of over 1000 lf in total by trenchless CIPP method, including the lining of 60” SSMH’s, all located in the heart of Santa Rosa necessitating work on weekends, nights and long days. The by-pass pumping system was located in a particularly sensitive setting with a high risk of vandalism and resultant damage to the year-round Santa Rosa Creek if damaged, necessitating him to personally patrol this layout at all hours to ensure the safety of his project. Project included compliance with permits, temporary utilities, safety measures, QA/QC, traffic control, testing, clean-up and punch list generation and completion.

Joey provided full-time inspection on the following County of Marin Projects:
• 2021 Road Sealant Phase 2: The Annual Paving Maintenance Project for the County of Marin stretches about 9.5 miles. The roadways of this project are spread throughout the northern and southern parts of Marin County. With various crews spread throughout the county, our inspector managed all crews. Traffic control plans for this project were enforced to ensure the safety of the workers and the community. The project used two types of surface treatments for the roads: Microsurfacing and Slurry Seal. These surface treatments used a combination of asphalt emulsions, aggregate, and chemical additives to preserve the roadways and extend their lifespan. With these surface treatments, residents and commuters were able to drive over these newly paved roadways about 3 to 4 hours after the installation was complete. • 2022 On-Call Inspection Services: Our On-Call inspection services offered various tasks for our Construction Inspectors by the County of Marin.
• 2022 Road Sealant Phase 1: The County of Marin required full-time Construction Inspection services for their annual $3 million paving maintenance project. This project consisted of over 7 miles of rural and semi-rural county roads. The roadway surfaces were pretreated using a Chip Seal treatment on cracks to prevent further deterioration. This project used two types of surface treatment: Type II Micro Surfacing and Slurry Seal. These treatments are utilized for their quick installation and for enhancing the lifespan of the roadway. The size of this project required there to be multiple crews spread out throughout the county, with our inspector coordinating and managing them daily. The approved traffic control plans were enforced ensuring the safety of commuters and working crews.

“Erich and I were recently
discussing the North Trunk
Sewer Project currently
underway and both realized
that the threshold described
below warranted pausing
and celebrating ‘what just
happened.’ Of note, the bore
and jack process is done, and
produced what was intended: a
new sewer up to 35’ below the
ground surface. This is no small
feat! Most sewers are built with
a standard ‘open cut’/trench
technique, but that doesn’t
work well, if at all, for very deep
sewers in narrow construction
corridors, which was the
condition of a fair amount of
this particular project area. The
Team essentially built a sewer
through a hill, in a sense.”

2019 Fulton Road Reconstruction, City of Santa Rosa. Inspector for this high-profile $4M pilot pavement project which set the precedent for future roadway rebuilds throughout the Bay Area. Faced with cost-prohibitive bids and high cost of traditional building materials (post-wildfires), the City chose a novel approach for reconstructing this mile-long stretch of Fulton Road. Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) proved an ideal alternative given its successful use in other structural applications (dams & runways).

Additionally, he provided exceptional public outreach to ensure neighborhood safety and satisfaction given haul routes which extended through the residential streets of the City’s west end. Project success also hinged on achieving smooth HMA pavement transitions at numerous intersections and side streets. 2019 Street Construction Improvements, City of Cotati. Inspector for a significant $2.25M rehabilitation of an extensive paving rehabilitation in the heart of downtown Cotati and surrounding neighborhoods. The aggressive schedule required multiple weeks of both day work and round the clock night work and on-going public outreach with the business owners and residents. The work included mill grind and overlay of the heavily trafficked Old Redwood Highway and East Cotati Avenue, and various width pavements (avenues & courts) within the City’s residential “L Section” just south of East Cotati Avenue. Included were digout repairs, the use of two separate pavement treatments – Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) and a two-inch Asphalt Concrete (AC) Overlay, the protection of attached curbs/gutters/sidewalks, fire hydrants, and storm drain structures, the rehabilitation of existing curb ramps to current ADA standards, wedge and conform grinding, stamped AC concrete crosswalks, in-street utility structure adjustments, the installation of speed cushions, pedestrian crosswalks at intersections, pavement striping and markings, hydrant markers, and pole signage. Coordinated with PG&E to mitigate unforeseen conflicts and proactively adjusted Inspector activity to maintain schedule. Completed with minimal punch list items and no construction claims. Ensured the implementation of a Traffic Control Plan which allowed for maximum detour notification for residents.

University District/Vast Oak Land Development Project Phase 2, City of Rohnert Park. On-Call Construction Inspector for the fast-paced Phase 2 site development of the new Vast Oak subdivision by Brookfield Homes. Located just off of Rohnert Park Expressway, the large housing project will construct 1,645 residential units, 100,000 square feet of commercial space, and 20 acres of parks. Sitework consists of on- and off- site grading, the installation of public utilities, and the construction of surface streets, public parks and landscape improvements. Requires close coordination with the developer to efficiently incorporate all Plan revisions.

Also requires coordinating the simultaneous activities of a multi-disciplinary contractor crews. Challenges to date include the lowering of a new water main to accommodate a change in site layout.

Seismic Upgrades and Improvements Phase 4 and Various Site Improvements, City of Santa Rosa. Inspection for seismic upgrades and improvements and site improvements for a total of six municipal water storage tanks and pump stations.

Tank upgrades included concrete foundation replacements/reinforcements, mixing system additions, new shell access manholes, seal welding, interior/exterior recoating, new valve vaults and piping (w/ transition fittings & connections), and fixed access ladders. Involved complete electrical replacements (equipment pad w/power & telemetry panels and service conduits), and site improvements – storm drainage facilities, commercial driveway installation, asphalt apron replacement and sealcoat, and new self-closing gates, fencing, and area lighting. Required constant coordination with specialty inspectors (geotechnical, structural, welding, and certified coating), non-local contractors and specialty subconsultants, and the City’s Building and Water Departments. Challenges included meeting OSHA safety regulations, tank containment during sandblasting & painting, existing soil remediation, and unforseen tank conditions.
