services associated with improvements that occur within Irvine's jurisdictional boundaries, with the remaining $464,390 as Tustin’s share.

CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

Rehabilitation of roadways and repair of sidewalks contributes to the fulfillment of the City’s Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implements Strategy #5, which among other items, is to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of transportation facilities.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

Jamboree Road is a regionally significant principal arterial corridor that traverses both the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, providing access for residents, commuters, businesses, and regional travelers between Interstate 5 and communities to the north and west. Jamboree Road is a divided eight-lane roadway with Class II bikeways in both directions and supports high traffic volumes, with Average Daily Traffic ranging from 19,100 to 67,000 vehicles. To provide continuous rehabilitation across the jurisdictional boundary, the Cities of Tustin and Irvine are partnering to rehabilitate the corridor to a project limit that extends to Michelle Drive, with the City of Irvine contributing its proportionate share of the design and construction costs for improvements. The proposed Cooperative Agreement formalizes each agency's responsibilities and cost-sharing responsibilities, including Irvine's reimbursement of $77,000 toward engineering design services and its proportionate share of future construction costs for improvements within its jurisdiction.

The Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Project was awarded a $7,000,000 federal Surface Transportation Block Grant through the Southern California Association of Governments, administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority, to fund construction of the project. The proposed Consultant Services Agreement will provide the engineering design services necessary to advance the project to construction.

The project scope includes pavement resurfacing on Jamboree Road between Michelle Drive and Portola Parkway, including localized removal and reconstruction of asphalt failure areas, cold milling and asphalt overlay, ADA curb ramp upgrades, utility cover adjustments, replacement of traffic signal detector loops, replacement of pavement markers and striping, and bicycle lane improvements to enhance safety.

Staff developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation containing requirements and a scope of services detailing the need for professional engineering consulting services for the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimate. The RFP was published on April 30, 2026, on the City's electronic public procurement platform, OpenGov, and distributed directly to known consultants/firms providing these services. The RFP submission deadline was June 1, 2026, and the process yielded eight (8) proposals, with all eight qualifying for further review.

The proposals were evaluated by a panel consisting of staff from the City's Public Works Department in accordance with the evaluation criteria identified in the RFP. Based on the initial proposal evaluations, the three highest-ranked firms were invited to participate in interviews:

1. Michael Baker International

2. BKF Engineers

3. Dokken Engineering
Following the interviews and completion of reference checks, the evaluation panel finalized the consultant rankings based on the following criteria:
• Qualification and Experience of Firm
• Approach and Work Plan
• Qualifications and Experience of the project manager and other key individuals • Schedule of Delivery
• Reference Checks
Michael Baker International (MBI) was ranked as the top-rated proposer based on the proposal evaluation, interview, and reference checks. The evaluation panel determined that MBI demonstrated the strongest understanding of the City's project objectives, including delivery of a federally funded arterial rehabilitation project requiring coordination with Caltrans Local Assistance, environmental clearance, and preparation of a bid-ready Plans, Specifications, and Engineer's Estimate (PS&E) package. MBI also demonstrated extensive experience delivering similar roadway rehabilitation projects for local agencies, a long-standing working relationship with the City of Tustin, and a project team familiar with the corridor through their recently completed topographic survey. Their proposed costs are within the City's budgetary expectations.

Based on these factors, staff is recommending the approval of the proposed Consultant Services Agreement with Michael Baker International for the engineering design services for the Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Project and approval of the Cooperative Agreement with the City of Irvine.

1. PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING
Project Understanding
Michael Baker understands that the City of Tustin is
seeking a qualified team to develop a plan to rehabilitate the pavement for a 2.4-mile stretch of Jamboree Road
between Michelle Drive and Portola Parkway. Notable
improvements include:
▬ Localized removal and reconstruction of asphalt
failure areas
▬ Cold milling and overlay of the asphalt surface course ▬ Replacement of curb ramps to be ADA compliant
▬ Adjustments of utility covers to grade
▬ Replacement of Traffic Signal Detector loops
▬ Replacement of pavement markers and striping
▬ Bicycle lane improvements with green pavement to
enhance safety at conflict point with vehicular travel
In preparation for this project, we have reviewed the
information and the existing data provided by the City in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Deputy Project Manager, David Hoopfer, PE, walked the length of Jamboree Road
between Michelle Drive and Portola Parkway to observe
and photo document some of the existing conditions,
guiding our approach. Based on his observations, the
existing pavement shows signs of distress that include
alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, and raveling and weathering of the asphalt surface.

Photos from our site walk are below and at top right:

Figure 1. Jamboree Road and Tustin Ranch Plaza
intersection.

Figure 2. Jamboree Road and Irvine Boulevard
Intersection.

Critical Issues
One of the key components of this project is to extend
the bike lane in the southbound direction to El Camino
Real. This is challenging due to right-of-way restrictions.

The land on the west and east sides of Jamboree Road
is private property owned by a private developer. In
order to add a bike lane in the southbound direction at the Jamboree Road/El Camino Real intersection, the
southbound travel lanes will need to shift to the east and the median will need to be reduced as shown in Exhibit 1.

This solution presents the following challenges:

The southbound lanes on the north and south
sides of the intersection will need to shift to the
east to create room for a bike lane. The medians
on the north and south sides of the intersection will
need to be modified to accommodate the lane shifts.

Existing trees may need to be removed from
the existing median and new landscaping and
irrigation may be required. A monument sign within
the median will need to be relocated.

The lane shift on the south side of the intersection
will extend into Caltrans right-of-way. The lane
shift and median modifications will need to be
reviewed and approved by Caltrans.

The lane shift will require traffic signal
modifications.

The northbound lanes will need to shift due to the
median modifications.

Project Approach
Pavement Investigation
Our approach will utilize a combination of investigative activities including: record research (review of prior
pavement and geotechnical investigation), visual
observation (walking the project site to map limits of
distressed pavements), and field investigation (inplace deflection Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing, ground penetrating radar thickness scanning,
and pavement coring at failed pavement locations). Our
team will utilize Non-Destructive FWD Deflection Testing, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and pavement coring
at 33 specific locations to facilitate our understanding of the existing pavement condition. In addition, if the City considers that further pavement investigation is
warranted, the team will provide testing to supplement
the coring data.

A digital map of the project pavement areas will be
generated utilizing the GPR data to illustrate the true limits of damaged structural pavement. Based on the
information obtained from our investigation activities, the Michael Baker team will perform laboratory testing
and perform TI calculations to establish proposed
structural pavement section(s). The team will prepare
an engineering cost analysis for up to three alternative pavement systems for projected service lives of 10-years and 20-years, respectively. The pavement systems
will incorporate alternative surface treatments to
address long-term maintenance and durability over the
anticipated life of the pavement.

Figure 3. Alligator cracking
Progress Reporting
Michael Baker will send the City a monthly progress
report along with the monthly invoice that includes the following information:
▬ Work completed by Task number
▬ Percent complete vs. Budgeted amount
▬ Updated schedule with critical path(s) shown
▬ Budget status (hours used vs. planned)
▬ Upcoming 30-day work plan
▬ Issues and risk log for items impacting the scope,
schedule, and/or budget
Project Controls
Our team recognizes that a comprehensive, realistic
project schedule is necessary. Eric Spangler, PE, TE,
will be responsible for developing the schedule and then monitoring it on a weekly basis. This schedule will include all tasks, milestones, reviews, project deliverables, and critical path, and will be updated monthly throughout
the duration of the project. It will also identify tasks that are critical to maintaining the project schedule. If tasks fall behind schedule, Eric will make staffing adjustments as necessary. Michael Baker will comply with the
Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM)
requirements to ensure smooth reimbursement of any
grant funding.

Our team understands that successfully managing costs
on a project starts well before the project even begins.

The following are key areas we will focus on:

Scope and Fee Preparation: Our scoping documents
are carefully prepared and our design budgets are
reviewed by multiple staff prior to finalizing the costs. This will allow for budgets that represent the appropriate level of effort to complete tasks. We have visited the site and understand the scope, objective, challenges and level of effort needed to complete each of the scope items.

Proposal Certifications
Per Addendum 2, certifications are not required to be
submitted with the proposal.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Quality at Michael Baker is non-negotiable. We
are committed to completing projects that meet
your requirements with respect to scope, schedule,
budget, and technical quality. To that end, QA/QC
Lead, Randy Ratzlaff, PE, will implement the plan
outlined below to ensure we meet the City of Tustin’s
expectations for quality and completeness on this
project. The QA/QC plan identifies project-specific
resources and actions necessary to provide the

with the City prior to beginning preliminary design.

Task 4 - Structural Pavement Investigation with
Design Alternatives and Report
Michael Baker’s team includes pavement design and
rehabilitation experts from LMI on this project. The
following proposed structural investigation will utilize a combination of in-place deflection strength testing, by FWD, defining current roadway strengths combined
with the proposed pavement core sampling to explore
and define present street conditions, layer thicknesses and where detectable, prior resurfacing history.

Laboratory soil strength testing, projections of future traffic use, in conjunction with in-place strength testing, will be utilized to develop appropriate replacement
sections with current structural needs providing cost
effective reinforcement alternatives and innovative
pavement solutions, i.e. Asphalt Concrete Rubber Hot
Mix Overlays, Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) or Cold In
Place Recycling (CIR).

4.1 IN-PLACE DEFLECTION TESTING AND GPR

THICKNESS SCANNING
Non-Destructive Pavement Deflection (CA 356) data
will be gathered from each existing traveled lane, at
100’ to 200’ testing intervals, using LaBelle Marvin
Inc.’s JILS FWD equipment, imposing a series of 9,000
pound loads per California Test Method 356. LMI’s
FWD testing equipment, operator, and recordS will be
provided by LMI.
▬ Data obtained will include ten (10) sensor readings
recorded within the deflection basin at each test
point. Pavement deflection sensors are generally
spaced 6” to 12” on center, defining the specific
pavement deflection basin under loading. During
deflection testing operations, notes of visual
pavement conditions and/or distress, cross streets,
presence or absence of curb and gutter, and other
such observations will be logged. Correlating
data will include pavement temperature and GPS
documentation at each test location.

Docusign Envelope ID: 637F7434-8B0F-82A9-8285-FF7200C8B0B4 Docusign Envelope ID: D0B81D07-8431-8697-8268-A051C1F9E255 Docusign Envelope ID: 925292DA-3C22-836C-81C8-1E9AE2ED9AFC ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR JAMBOREE ROAD REHABILITATION 7 CITY OF TUSTIN | CIP NO. 70263
▬ Data Analysis will provide a typed tabulation
of all deflection measurements and field notes
locating cross streets, pertinent landmarks, field
conditions, etc will be included within the final
report. The tabulation will include the reading of
all sensors, as well as an equivalent Traveling
Deflectometer deflection at the loading point.

GPR data will supplement pavement core thickness
information providing a better understanding of
historical as-built section, changes in section,
and as importantly location of change. This is a
substantial cost saving to the City while providing
greater thickness information. The measured asphalt
concrete pavement thickness shall be scanned twice
every linear foot mapped by depth and location and
provided onto aerial imagery for geo-referencing.

This information is critical to the design team, where
proposed resurfacing is forecasted.

4.2 PAVEMENT CORING AND SOIL BORING
A total of thirty-three (33) pavement coring and
subsurface sampling locations will be performed at
pre-selected locations to determine the thickness
of the existing structural section including but not
limited to asphalt concrete layer(s), buried Portland
cement concrete layer(s) if any, and aggregate base
layer, if any. Borings extend to a maximum three (3’)
foot depth from finish surface.
▬ Underground Service Alert (USA Dig-Alert) will
be notified and a meeting held, if requested,
with concerned utilities to relocate test sites as
necessary. Sample locations will be backfilled
and patched with asphalt concrete, per City
requirements.
▬ All samples will be labeled and transport back to
our certified Caltrans and AASHTO accredited
materials laboratory for further analysis.
▬ Professional Traffic Control will be provided per
WATCH/MUTCD standards.

4.3 LABORATORY MATERIALS TESTING
Subgrade soil samples taken in the field will be
identified, labeled, and measured during the
sampling process. Samples will be transported
back to LaBelle Marvin’s Caltrans certified soils
and asphalt laboratory. Data developed during the
laboratory testing will be utilized to project probable field support conditions during construction and
highlight where appropriate special care may be
required during roadway preparation.

Evaluation of the present pavement thicknesses utilizing component analysis with R-value data will be combined
with future traffic estimates (Traffic Index provided by City) for design and development of suitable, alternative replacement sections.

Laboratory tests included within this investigation are as follows:
▬ Moisture Content Tests (CA 226): Subgrade soil
samples taken in the field will be visually classified
and the in-situ moisture content will be determined
per location.
▬ R-Value Tests (CA 301): Representative sample(s)
will be selected and tested for R- Value (soil
strength) determinations on the subgrade. A total of
three (3) R-values will be performed.

4.4 VISUAL SITE EVALUATIONS
John Warrick, PE, will perform a site evaluation of
all asphalt concrete segments. Pavement conditions
will be recorded for the purposes of compiling the
recommendation plan(s) and report. LMI will compare
field conditions with thickness data obtained during
core sampling and with component analysis based on
laboratory subgrade strength testing, deflection testing, and GPR thickness scanning.

4.5 STRUCTURAL DESIGNED REHABILITATION

ALTERNATIVES
John Warrick will supervise all operations and
incorporate results of deflection and materials testing with observed pavement conditions. Engineered
recommendations for alternate methods of pavement
rehabilitation for the lane(s) studied based upon
deflection analysis in conjunction with the proposed
materials investigation will be provided.

A minimum of three (3) pavement rehabilitation
strategies, if feasible, will be developed meeting current structural needs and reinforcement requirements based
upon the California Highway Design Manual for Flexible
Pavement and Roadway Rehabilitation.

Where sustainable/innovative pavement solutions are
considered, Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) or Cold-InPlace Recycling (CIR) will be explored within the final report.

4.6 PAVEMENT STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION
REPORT
John Warrick will prepare the final pavement
structural investigation report. The deliverables will
include all data developed during the investigation
with design rehabilitation alternatives; structural
replacement sections for areas of reconstruction,
in-place strength testing data and field and laboratory test data. All services will be supervised by the Civil Engineer specializing in the evaluation and design
of pavement systems and Registered in the State of

Michael Baker uses advanced technologies—FWD, GPR, high-speed profilers, Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS), and mobile LiDAR—to deliver efficient, quality-focused pavement evaluations. We stay current with evolving methods and apply a range of rehabilitation techniques (e.g., new binders, additives, and polymers) to extend pavement life. Our pavement designs emphasize realistic, economical solutions tailored to the City, and can incorporate green infrastructure and recycling technologies to improve water quality and reduce emissions.

We are leading practitioners in applying LiDAR to collect roadway, airport, utility, and rail/transit data and to support smart-vehicle initiatives, including connected-vehicle deployment and testing. We have also used LiDAR to support design of lengthy transmission mains as a cost-saving measure. Our complementary survey capabilities include Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), terrestrial scanning, manual methods, and inspection-grade Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS).

ADA Improvements
As part of traffic improvement projects, existing access ramps, sidewalks, and driveway approaches may not be current with ADA compliance standards.

Michael Baker routinely reviews current Title 24, ADA regulations to identify updates to standards. In addition, we are aware of the current Caltrans changes
