Proposal for Greater Downtown Bike and Pedestrian Connectivity City Project No. WT22051 / ATPSB1L-5008(200) 11
5. Project Understanding
Willdan understands the City of Stockton is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to provide engineering design services for the preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimates (PS&E) for the Greater Downtown Bike and Pedestrian Connectivity Project. The project will construct bicycle facilities and pedestrian improvements including Class II bike lanes, Class III bike boulevards, bicycle detection and leading pedestrian intervals at signals, high visibility crosswalks, wayfinding si gnage, ADA curb ramps, sidewalk gap closures, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), speed cushion, and slurry seal. The improvements will be implemented along Lincoln Street, Aurora Street, and Rose Street. The objective of the project is to provide bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic calming improvements along important corridors that currently lack proper bicycle and pedestrian facilities to facilitate connectivity in downtown Stockton. The project will also meet Stockton’s goals of improvi ng active transportation connectivity and safety, facilitating multi -modal crossings, and reducing the hazards of modal conflicts.
The project will be funded by the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 5 Grant.
The following table illustrates the planned improvements required to accomplish the City’s scope of work and goals for this project.
6. Detailed Work Plan
Willdan’s project approach encompasses deliberate and focused communication with regard to schedule maintenance and “active listening” to address client concerns. This practice improves personal relationships, reduces misunderstanding and conflicts, stren gthens cooperation and fosters understanding. It is proactive, accountable, and professional. We prefer a “Project First” decision-making style, where every decision weighs on what is in the best interests of the project’s goals, our client’s expectations and those of the project’s stakeholders.
Willdan’s project management approach for providing a high -quality project bid package emphasizes meeting schedule milestones while monitoring and containing project costs, as follows:
▪ Prepare a Work Plan that addresses staffing and assignments, scope of work, deliverables, budget and schedule. The Work Plan provides definitive directions to the project team as agreed to by the City of Stockton. ▪ Develop a Schedule that defines each task needed to meet key milestone dates. Using open dialogue with our team, the City’s project staff, and stakeholders, Willdan will make adjustments, as needed, to meet the project delivery goals. ▪ Conduct project team meetings to facilitate informed discussions and decisions and team consensus on solutions and action items. All team members are kept informed via complete and accurate meeting minutes that highlight decisions, action items, and prompt follow-through.
▪ Consistently use project tracking tools, such as Issues Logs, Decision Logs, monthly progress reports and schedule updates.
▪ Data Collection and Base Map Preparation. Having a comprehensive and accurate base map and verifying field conditions is critical to developing a design that maximizes safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. This includes prompt utility requests to obtain necessary information regarding buried facilities. Other record improvement drawings such as traffic signal, signing and striping, street lighting and street improvement as-builts – together with timing charts, photographs, and field observations will make-up the remainder of the resources used to compile the base mapping.

▪ Preliminary Engineering and Refinement of Concept Plans. We will solidify the conceptual layout and obtain concurrence from the City on the alignment, schematic design, and cost estimates as soon as possible. ▪ Final Design and PS&E. Willdan's team will begin final design and PS&E as soon as the City concurs with the preliminary engineering.
▪ Services during Construction and As-Built Plans. Our project manager and team leads will be available to the City during the bid and construction phase of work to provide technical assistance as needed to finalize the project.
Scope of Services
Task 1 - Background Research
Records Research. Willdan will obtain available as -built drawings, assessor parcel maps, tract maps, survey data, CAD files, and utility contact information from the City.
Field Review. Willdan will conduct a field review of
project locations to verify existing topographic conditions including existing street and lane geometries, lane
widths, lane configurations, and curb -to-curb distances.
As part of the field review, Willdan will perform
pavement condition assessments within the bicycle
facility project limits and propose pavement treatments.
Topographic Survey. Willdan will perform ground surveys necessary to design the sidewalk gap closure along
Lincoln Street between Worth Street and the railroad
crossing and ADA curb ramps , as shown in Attachment
“A” of the RFP documents. Our survey crew will establish horizontal and vertical ground controls necessary to
produce a digital topographic map at a scale of 1" = 40'.
The survey will be tied to City benchmarks and existing topographic information. The ground survey will establish horizontal (NAD 83), vertical (NAVD 88), and centerline controls; identify survey monuments, visible surface utilities, curbs and gutters, edges of pavements, and grade breaks; and provide supplemental shots in identified areas of concern based upon preliminary engineering.
Parking Study. Willdan will conduct a parking study along Lincoln Street between Washington Street and Turnpike Road where Class II bicycle lanes will be installed and provide recommendations for on -street parking removal. Our preliminary analysis shows that the rest of Lincoln Street and all of Aurora Street can have bike lanes implemented without impacting existing on - street parking. Willdan’s subconsultant, NDS, will provide parking occupancy data collection during overnight hours for residential areas and during normal business hours for commercial and industrial areas. The parking occupancy data will be collected on a typical weekday and weekend for the residential areas and on a weekday only for the commercial and industrial areas.
Task 2 - Utility Coordination
Willdan will mail notices to the utility companies in accordance with the City’s procedures. Documentation of contacts and responses will be copied to the City. Willdan will prepare the utility notices and deliver them to the City for mailing under City letterhead. If so desired by the City, Willdan can transmit these notices under Willdan’s letterhead; however, the City shall b e responsible for any fees assessed to Willdan by the utility companies. In either case, all responses, questions, and correspondence from the utility companies will be addressed to Willdan’s utility coordinator. Willdan will also provide utility dispositions identifying existing utility locations above and below ground.
Task 3 - Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E)
Willdan will prepare engineering design plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the proposed bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements. Design plans will be prepared in accordance with the City's drafting standards, formats, and conventions.
Plans will be computer -drafted in AutoCAD 2021 format for standard 24 -inch by 36 -inch plans and comply with the City of Stockton’s and Caltrans' latest standard plans and specifications and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). Design plans will be submitted full size in PDF format compatible with Bluebeam software at the 30%, 60%, 90%,
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT B
Proposal for Greater Downtown Bike and Pedestrian Connectivity City Project No. WT22051 / ATPSB1L-5008(200) 13
and 100% submittal milestones for the City’s review and comment. Willdan will maintain a review comment matrix to verify all City comments are addressed with each submittal.
3.1 – 30% Conceptual Layout. Willdan will prepare 30% level conceptual striping plans at 1’=40” scale for the basic geometric configuration of roadway striping layouts for the Class II bike lanes , high visibility crosswalks , and typical cross sections. The conceptual design will consider turning motions of Stockton Unified School District, Stockton Fire Department, San Joaquin Regional Transit District, and Stockton Waste Management vehicles, as well as semitrucks with trailers.
3.2 – 60% PS&E. Willdan will prepare 60% design level plans depicting design elements including geometric features, above and below ground facilities (based on field visits and utility as -builts research), right-of-way, and any other relevant features. Willdan will prepare the following design sheets as shown in the table below:
Plan Type Scale Sheets Design Improvements
Title Sheet N/A 1 Sheet N/A
Signing and Striping Plans 1” = 40’ 15 Sheets Class II Bike Lanes, Class III Bike Boulevards, High Visibility Crosswalks, RRFBs

Willdan will prepare intersection details for the ADA complaint curb ramp designs as most of the curb ramps will be constructed per current Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook) standard drawings. We have identified a few curb ramps that will require modified details for construction at a few select intersections and will collect topographic survey to assist with our design. Willdan will prepare sidewalk improvement plans for the sidewalk gap closure along Lincoln Street between Worth Street and the railroad crossing adjacent to Columbus Park , as shown in Attachment “A” of the RFP document. A 60% level engineer’s estimate of probable costs will be prepared in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet based on the 50% design plans. Backup quantity calculations will be provided showing detailed computations for accuracy of the quantities upon request.
Utilizing the City -provided boilerplate, Willdan will prepare the project’s construction specifications in Microsoft Word format. Willdan's specifications will support the specified improvements. Willdan will be responsible for compiling specifications that are complete, ready for bidding purposes, and signed by a state-registered civil engineer.
3.3 – 90% PS&E. The project team will revise the 60% submittal package by incorporating City review comments and will then submit 90% plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate to the City for approval. The review comments from the 6 0% submittal will be itemized and a written response to the comments will be prepared in a comment matrix. The original red-line mark-up from the City will be returned with the succeeding submittal. Willdan will prepare signal timing worksheets for the implementation of leading pedestrian interval (LPI) for the City’s review.
3.4 – 100% PS&E. Willdan will revise the 90% PS&E submittal package by incorporating City review comments. Final signed plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate will be submitted to the City in electronic PDF format. Final approved drawings and specifications shall be stamped and signed by the engineer-of-record.
3.5 – Quality Control. The PS&E will be subject to Willdan’s quality control review process before each submittal. These reviews will ensure conformance to City and Caltrans Standards, as well as minimize typographical omissions. Willdan will provide a signed Quality Control Checklist at the time of each deliverable submittal.

Task 8 – Preserving and Perpetuating Survey Monuments
For the Monument preservation, the construction contractor would be responsible for hiring a surveyor to perform any actual preservation efforts. Willdan will verify the plans identif ied any monuments where found . Also, Willdan will ensure the contractor has fulfilled their duties as confirming pre and post-construction corner records were filed with the County where applicable and reviewing any monument deemed at risk of being disturbed during construction.
Task 9 – Performance Outcome
Willdan’s subconsultant, NDS, will perform before and after construction 24-hour pedestrian and bicycle counts in accordance with the ATP Count Methodology Guidelines. Based on these guidelines for a medium-sized infrastructure project, the before and after counts will be collected at three (3) locations for a period of seven (7) consecutive days. The before and after counts will be performed at the same location on the same days of the week, the same times of day, and the same week of the year .
Willdan will recommend the count locations and time period for City review and acceptance.
Exclusions
Willdan will be preparing sidewalk improvement plans for the sidewalk gap closure along Lincoln Street between Worth Street and the railroad crossing , as shown in Attachment “A” of the RFP document. If the City desires any additional sidewalk gap closure improvements within the project limits, Willdan can provide sidewalk design services for an additional agreed-upon fee.
Familiarity with State and Federal Procedures
Willdan is thoroughly familiar with regulations pertaining to expenditures of federal, state, county, and local funds, including:
▪ Arterial Highway Rehabilitation Program (AHRP)
▪ Surface Transportation Program Local (STPL)
▪ Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU) ▪ Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
▪ Highway Bridge Program (HBP)
▪ State Gas Tax; Hazard Elimination Safety (HES)
▪ Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
▪ Various other grant and funding sources
This knowledge is critical in executing projects funded by federal or state programs that have special permitting and reporting requirements. We have worked extensively for and with the CPUC, all Caltrans Districts, Caltrans Division of Structures, Regional Water Quality Control Boards, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We have processed numerous permits and approvals through FHWA, CPUC, FRA, CTC, CCC, CDFW, RWQCB, etc. We are familiar with funding, permitting, and procedural requirements of these agencies and have an excellent working relationship with the essential staff involved in local agency programs. Our contacts with personnel in these agencies enable us to facilitate permit processing and compliance when required.
In addition, Willdan has experience preparing and processing various Caltrans forms for local agencies, including state and federal funding forms, checklists, invoices, and reports of expenditures. Willdan has assisted local agencies at various stages of state- and federal-funded projects from the initiating request to final invoicing. Our team stays apprised of revisions to the Local Programs Procedures (LPPs) procedures and forms in the LAPM.

NOTES:
• This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year. • An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology) • This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.

CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review. If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR 31 and other related laws and regulations.

CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation.

Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.
Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.
ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING
A. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the CONSULTANT of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONSULTANT agrees to be as fully responsible to the LOCAL AGENCY for the acts and omissions of its Subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the CONSULTANT.

In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from CONSULTANT or subconsultant to a subconsultant, CONSULTANT or subconsultant may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount.
