55 1155 Infrastructure Solutions | Proposal to City of Vernon C. Introduction
1155 Infrastructure Solutions understands that the City of Vernon is seeking one or more qualified contractors to provide on-call design, construction, and emergency repair support for VPU's six-inch polyethylene (PE) distribution system, ten-inch high-pressure steel transmission system, two regulator stations, service laterals, and related natural gas infrastructure, under a three-year as-needed services agreement.
VPU operates as a lean, highly efficient municipal gas utility (one of the largest in the U.S. by volume, served by only six full-time employees) and relies on outside contractors to provide design, construction, and operator-qualified field expertise without carrying redundant full-time staff. 1155IS is structured to support exactly this model: we scale crews and engineering support up or down to match each service order, so the City pays only for the work performed, when it is needed.
Our approach to this assignment is built around three priorities that we understand matter most to VPU and the City:
• Responsiveness - rapid acknowledgment of service requests and dispatch of qualified crews, including for emergency and after-hours events. • Compliance and Safety - all field personnel are Operator Qualified (OQ) under PHMSA requirements.
• Documentation - complete construction packages (as-builts, test records, OQ records) delivered at project closeout to support VPU's regulatory recordkeeping. 1155IS is prepared to deliver quality results within the time frames and budgets established for each individual service order, consistent with the work order process described in Section 4 of the RFP.
D. General Scope of Work
1155IS proposes to support VPU across the full range of services identified in the RFP, including:
• Project design services for the natural gas distribution and transmission system, as needed.
• Preparation of construction plans and as-built drawings for VPU natural gas infrastructure and projects.
• Delivery of complete construction packages at project closeout, including test documentation, as-builts, and other materials requested by City staff. • Collaborative engineering support to address complex distribution and transmission issues as they arise.
• Construction and repair services performed by operator-qualified personnel, including welding of high-pressure steel pipe, fusion of PE distribution line, pressure testing with documentation, excavation and installation of steel or PE
55 1155 Infrastructure Solutions | Proposal to City of Veron pipe, trench shoring, regulator station technical/maintenance support, and management of encroachment permits and traffic control. • Emergency and disaster recovery support, including response to major events such as earthquakes, and supplemental operator-qualified staffing when VPU resources are insufficient.
• Operator Qualification (OQ) management through Veriforce as 1155lS's third- party OQ provider, ensuring all field personnel remain qualified for the tasks they perform on City projects. OQ records are actively maintained and updated to refiect each employee's current qualification status. In addition, 1155IS utilizes ISN (Integrity Staffing Network) as a safety compliance monitoring platform, providing an added layer of contractor safety oversight, incident tracking, and documentation management that supports our ongoing commitment to a safe and compliant workforce.
1155IS is prepared to structure its services flexibly, scaling from small, short-duration tasks (such as a three-person crew completing a single gas service connection over two days) up to larger design-and-construction projects, consistent with VPU's operational needs.
E. Work Plan
Service Order Process
1155IS will support VPU's work order process exactly as described in Section 4 of the RFP. For each service order, 1155IS will:
• Meet with City/PU staff to develop a detailed scope of work, including procedures and, where appropriate, sketches, plans, and as-builts. • Provide a fixed cost of work, or an estimate of man-hours and equipment costs based on the predetermined hourly rates and equipment costs established in the base contract.
• Propose a schedule for commencement and completion of the work, sized to the urgency and complexity of the order.
• Mobilize an operator-qualified crew and any required engineering support upon mutual agreement and City authorization.
Interrelationship of Projects and Quality Control
Because VPU may issue multiple concurrent or sequential service orders across design, construction, and emergency response, 1155IS will assign a single point of contact to the Vernon account to maintain continuity, track open work orders, and ensure as-built documentation and OQ records are consolidated consistently across all projects performed under the contract.
Emergency Response and Local Presence
55 1155 Infrastructure Solutions | Proposal to City of Vernon 1155IS maintains a corporate office in Santa Fe Springs, California, approximately 11 miles (roughly 20 minutes) from Vernon, and a construction yard stocked with crew equipment and supplies in Chino, California, approximately 35 miles (roughly an hour's drive under normal traffic conditions) from Vernon. Together, these locations place both administrative staff and operator-qualified crews and equipment well within range for rapid response to scheduled work orders and emergency call-outs.
Staffing for Representative Project Sizes
To illustrate scalability, the table below shows how 1155IS would typically staff two representative service order sizes referenced in the RFP.
Representative Service Order Typical Crew Typical
Duration
Single gas service connection (small 3-person crew (foreman, 2 days project) laborer, pipefitter)
Regulator station maintenance 3-person crew (foreman, 2 1-2 days support laborers)
Emergency repair / disaster 4-person crew (foreman, As Needed response operator, laborer, welder)
F. Fees and Costs
Consistent with Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.090, 1155IS understands that cost will not be a factor in the initial determination of the most qualified proposer, and that a sealed price bid is being submitted separately for consideration after the qualifications- based selection is complete.
1155IS's sealed price proposal reflects not-to-exceed hourly rates for crew labor, non- crew (salaried/supervisory) labor, and equipment typically required for this scope of work. As a condition of this proposal, 1155IS proposes that all rates below increase by three percent (3%) annually, effective each year at the end of July, for the term of the Agreement. Regardless of this escalation schedule, 1155IS will at all times pay not less than the prevailing wage rate then in effect for each prevailing-wage-covered classification, per California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq.
General Conditions & Clarifications
1155 Infrastructure Solutions is a union contractor and is bound by labor agreements that have a meaningful impact on how we staff, schedule, and execute work. In some instances, union labor rules and California prevailing wage requirements may come into conflict with one another. In those cases, 1155IS will defer to whichever requirement produces the more favorable outcome for its field employees. The following clarifications are intended to provide the City of Vernon with a clear understanding of
55 1155 Infrastructure Solutions | Proposal to City of Vernon these conditions so that both parties can plan effectively and work together efficiently under this contract.
1. Working a 4-10 schedule (four 10-hour days) will result in eight (8) hours billed at the straight time (ST) rate and two (2) hours billed at the overtime (OT) rate each day.
2. Anytime more than one (1) FTE is requested for a work ticket, a Foreman must be utilized.
3. All travel and expense (T&E) work will be billed portal to portal, starting and returning from 1155IS's construction yard in Chino, California.
4. T&E rates include basic hand tools and basic safety cones for equipment protection.
Traffic control is not included in T&E rates and will be billed separately per the rate schedule.
5. All rates are subject to a minimum of four (4) hours per day, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by both the City of Vernon and 1155IS.
6. Equipment utilized by the crew is assumed to be working for the entirety of the work day. No standby costs are provided for equipment.
7. The City of Vernon is responsible for obtaining all permits and paying all associated permitting costs as they relate to a project performed under this contract.
8. All supplies required for soft or hard restoration will be passed through to the City at actual cost plus ten percent (10%), in accordance with City of Vernon standards.
