Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-I
Notice to Proposers DBE Information
January 2025
Exhibit 10-I: Notice to Proposers DBE Information
(federally funded projects only)
The Local Public Agency (LPA) has established a DBE goal for this Contract of ____________%
1. TERMS AS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT
x The term “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise” or “DBE” means a for-profit small business concern owned and controlled by a socially and economically disadvantaged person(s) as defined in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 26.5.
x The term “Agreement” also means “Contract.”
x LPA also means the local entity entering into this contract with the Contractor or Consultant. x The term “Small Business” or “SB” is as defined in 49 CFR 26.65.
2. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
A. DBEs and other small businesses are strongly encouraged to participate in the performance of Contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds (see 49 CFR 26: Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs).
The Consultant must ensure that DBEs and other small businesses have the opportunity to participate in the performance of the work that is the subject of this solicitation and should take all necessary and reasonable steps for this assurance. The proposer must not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of subcontracts.
B. Proposers are encouraged to use services offered by financial institutions owned and controlled by DBEs.
3. SUBMISSION OF DBE INFORMATION
If there is a DBE goal on the contract, Exhibit 10-O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment must be included in the Proposal. In order for a proposer to be considered responsible and responsive, the proposer must make good faith efforts to meet the goal established for the contract. If the goal is not met, the proposer must document adequate good faith efforts. All DBE participation will be counted towards meeting the contract goal; therefore, all DBE participation must be collected and reported.
Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Information must be included in best qualified consultant’s executed consultant contract. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, the successful proposer must execute and return the form.
4. DBE PARTICIPATION GENERAL INFORMATION
It is the proposer’s responsibility to be fully informed regarding the requirements of 49 CFR 26, and the Department’s DBE program developed pursuant to the regulations. Particular attention is directed to the following:
A. A DBE must be a small business firm defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP).
B. A certified DBE may participate as a prime consultant, subconsultant, joint venture partner, as a vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company.
C. A DBE proposer not proposing as a joint venture with a non-DBE, will be required to document one or a combination of the following:
1. The proposer is a DBE and will meet the goal by performing work with its own forces.

C-8
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-I
Notice to Proposers DBE Information
January 2025
2. The proposer will meet the goal through work performed by DBE subconsultants, suppliers or trucking companies.
3. The proposer, prior to proposing, made adequate good faith efforts to meet the goal.
D. A DBE joint venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of work or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually performing, managing, and supervising the work with its own forces. The DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint venture commensurate with its ownership interest.
E. A DBE must perform a commercially useful function pursuant to 49 CFR 26.55, that is, a DBE firm must be responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work and must carry out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the work.
F. The proposer must list only one subconsultant for each portion of work as defined in their proposal and all DBE subconsultants should be listed in the bid/cost proposal list of subconsultants.
G. A prime consultant who is a certified DBE is eligible to claim all of the work in the Contract toward the DBE participation except that portion of the work to be performed by non-DBE subconsultants.
5. COUNTING DBE PARTICIPATION
Materials or supplies purchased from DBEs count towards the DBE goal under the following conditions:
A. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory, or establishment that produces on the premises the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Contract and of the general character described by the specifications.
B. If the materials or supplies purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a DBE regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A person may be a DBE regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section.
C. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products, any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution equipment must be, by a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not DBE regular dealers within the meaning of this section.
D. Materials or supplies purchased from a DBE, which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services
6. RESOURCES
A. The CUCP database includes the certified DBEs from all certifying agencies participating in the CUCP. If you believe a firm is certified that cannot be located on the database, please email [email protected] for assistance.
B. Access the CUCP database from the Department of Transportation, Office of Civil Rights website. For guidance on how to search for certified firms using the CUCP database, please visit: DBE Goal Setting | Caltrans

Professional Services
Agreement | 18
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
• 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. • Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 21.35%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):
CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.
Failure by the CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying CONSULTANT from future proposing as non-responsible E. Termination and Replacement of DBE Subconsultants
CONSULTANT shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless CONSULTANT or DBE subconsultant obtains the LOCAL AGENCY’s written consent. CONSULTANT shall not terminate or replace a listed DBE for convenience and
ORDINANCE NO. 2025-1114
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
YORBA LINDA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING NEW CHAPTER 10.80
(REGULATED MOBILITY DEVICES) TO TITLE 10 (VEHICLES
AND TRAFFIC) OF THE YORBA LINDA MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING OPERATION OF REGULATED MOBILITY
DEVICES SUCH AS
E-BIKES
WHEREAS, the City of Yorba Linda, California ("City") is a municipal corporation, duly organized and existing under the California Constitution and laws of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that while exact figures for California’s ebike sales are not readily available, the state’s proactive policies and infrastructure investments suggest that its growth rate aligns with or surpasses national trends.
Assuming California mirrored the national quadrupling of e-bike sales from 2019 to 2022 and continued to grow, it’s plausible that the state experienced a 400–500% increase in e-bike sales by 2025; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to promote the safe operation of e-bikes as well as the safety of persons using electric bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, electrically motorized boards, low-speed vehicles, motorized scooters, shared mobility devices and other similar vehicles (defined herein as "regulated mobility devices"), while maximizing transportation and recreational opportunities; and WHEREAS, the California Vehicle Code regulates the operation of bicycles and electric bicycles; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 231 defines a “bicycle,” as “a device upon which a person may ride, propelled exclusively by human power, except as provided in Section 312.5, through a belt, chain, or gears, and having one or more wheels”; and WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 312.5 defines an “electric bicycle,” as “a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts”; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 21100 permits local authorities to adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution regarding the operation of bicycles on public sidewalks; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 21207.5 regulates the use of motorized vehicles on a bicycle path or trail, bikeway, bicycle lane, equestrian trail, or hiking or recreational trail, unless it is within or adjacent to a roadway or unless the local authority or the governing body of a public agency having jurisdiction over the path or trail permits, by ordinance, that operation; and
O R D I N A N C E N O . 2 0 2 5 - 1 1 1 4
P A G E 2
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 21207.5 also permits the local authority or governing body of a public agency having jurisdiction over an equestrian trail, or hiking or recreational trail, to prohibit, by ordinance, the operation of an electric bicycle or any class of electric bicycle on that trail; and
WHEREAS, the City has experienced a significant increase in the use of electric bicycles and other electric transportation devices, leading to concerns regarding public safety and the need for regulation, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the provisions of this Chapter represent reasonable measures and enforcement mechanisms that can be implemented to promote the safe and efficient use of sidewalks, bike paths, bike lanes, multipurpose trails, streets, roads, and highways in the City pursuant to the City's police power, and are based on compliance with other generally applicable laws, including state and federal law, and the Yorba Linda Municipal Code.

FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: COLIN TSUI, P.E., ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE A DESIGN CONTRACT TO NCE FOR PREPARATION OF THE 2026 CITYWIDE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a professional services agreement to NCE in an amount not-to-exceed $113,406.00 for preparation of the 2026 Citywide Pavement Management Plan (PMP); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve additional expenditures up to $17,010.90 (15% of agreement amount) in agreement contingencies for potential additional services; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to sign and execute the Professional Services Agreement and potential future amendments to the agreement within the designated contingency amount, on behalf of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The Pavement Management Plan (PMP) is a requirement of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the City to remain eligible for Measure M local fair share and competitive grant funds. Per OCTA guidelines, the City is required to provide an updated PMP report once every two years.
The PMP is a valuable tool that allows for the planning and programing of street maintenance throughout the City’s entire roadway network. The PMP update includes an assessment of the current roadway conditions and forecasts roadway deterioration. The report analyzes various funding scenarios and provides data that aids in decision-making on maintenance treatment options. The PMP is updated on a biennial basis through efforts that include field inspections to determine the best and most efficient maintenance strategy for long-term asphalt preservation.
The City’s PMP for 2026 will include the physical inspection of all arterial roadways and residential roadways within pavement management zones 1-6. Zone 7 is scheduled to be

completed in the summer of 2026 and is thus excluded from field inspections. A map of the City’s pavement management zones is included as Attachment 1.
OCTA requires the following 3 budgetary scenarios for the roadway network over the course of a 7-Year horizon:
- Analysis of the roadway network performance using the current budget allocations in the 7-year CIP
- Funding needs to maintain the current network PCI
- Funding needs to improve the network PCI
As part of the 2026 PMP, NCE will also provide additional scenarios that will address the rapidly rising costs of pavement maintenance and analyze potential scenarios to optimize the City’s pavement maintenance zones. This effort includes updates to treatment unit costs that more accurately reflect the current cost of construction which should refine the decision tree for treatment selection.
DISCUSSION
City Staff conducted a solicitation for provision of professional services required to complete the PMP document for the City. A total of two (2) proposals were received from Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. and NCE. Proposals were evaluated based on multiple criteria including relevant experience, professional qualifications, and overall response as outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Based on these criteria, NCE was selected as the recommended consultant.
NCE’s proposal was deemed the most responsive to the scope of services requested. NCE has prepared PMP documents for the City in the past and demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the City’s roadway network, budget outlook, and pavement maintenance priorities. NCE’s proposal was the most closely aligned with the City’s RFP by specifically addressing the City’s need for analysis of alternate budget scenarios and including approaches that will evaluate potential optimization of the City’s pavement maintenance zones.
NCE’s team has prepared numerous PMP’s for other Orange County cities, including Yorba Linda’s for the last cycle. NCE staff carry the necessary certifications from OCTA to conduct the desired work.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are available for award of this contract, including the 15% contingency, as programmed within the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 CIP budget under project SI261004.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not award the contract; however, this is not recommended because the City would not be able to fulfill its obligation to OCTA and would potentially be deemed ineligible for Measure M funds.

RE: Proposal for City-wide Pavement Management Plan
Dear Members of the Selection Committee:
NCE understands the City of Yorba Linda (City) desires a qualified firm to provide professional engineering services for a Pavement Management Plan (PMP). The NCE Team is highly qualified to perform the City’s pavement distress survey and analysis, as we have successfully completed the City’s most recent PMP Update in 2024, including submittal to the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) as required.
NCE's recent experience with City provides our team with a clear understanding of the needs pertaining to the deliverable for this project, especially the need to develop multiple decision trees to determine the optimum budget (ideally lower than the existing budget) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) breakpoints for different pavement treatments that would keep the network PCI closer to the existing PCI of 78 or at least above 75 to meet the OCTA requirement for Measure M funding. Our team of pavement engineers will also utilize their extensive experience in developing multi-year focus plans for agencies across California to refine the recommendations obtained from StreetSaver® to align with the City’s approach in addressing these pavement distresses. The City can then use the recommendations received from the multi-year plan with minimal revision to develop the final street list for the yearly rehabilitation program. In addition, NCE will provide treatment for all the streets, including deferred for the next three fiscal cycles for the City’s proposed budget, so that the City staff have an accurate assessment of the short-term needs. The NCE team proposed for this project has met and worked with the City staff. This experience and clear understanding of the City’s needs will ensure that NCE submits the first draft report by February 17, 2026, and the final draft report by April 1, 2026, provided that a Notice to Proceed is issued by September 16, 2025.
With more than 100 person-years of experience with PMPs and with NCE’s 35 years of focus on pavement research, design, testing, and evaluation, NCE has more knowledge and understanding than any other pavement consulting firm in California.
Our highly trained technical staff are experienced in data collection and have worked together on many comparable PMP projects throughout California. We have developed an excellent reputation for dedication, integrity, productivity, quality of work, and service to our clients. NCE is a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) certified consultant with widespread experience providing distress inspections and updating the StreetSaver®, PMP. The NCE team offers the following to the City:
• Previous Yorba Linda and local PMP experience
• StreetSaver® experience and proficiency
• Expertise in pavement engineering
• OCTA and MTC-certified inspectors
• Experience with OCTA submittals
• Innovative pavement strategies with sustainable
options
• Experienced with developing a multi-year focus plan
based on pavement distress only
• Rigorous quality control practices
We acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 – Response to Written Questions, issued July 30, 2025, and confirm all conditions have been incorporated into this proposal. The signed Addendum Receipt Certification is included in Appendix B. The proposal is valid for 180 days from the submission date. As Principal of NCE, I am authorized to negotiate and sign contracts on behalf of the firm. I will also serve as Project Manager and the main point of contact for this proposal. I can be reached by phone at (909) 362-7936 or via email at [email protected]. We appreciate your consideration of our proposal and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the City of Yorba Linda.

Vivek Jha, MS, PE, Principal
City of Yorba Linda – City-wide Pavement Management Plan 2 B. Project Understanding
NCE understands that the City of Yorba Linda is seeking a qualified consultant to assist the City in updating its StreetSaver® PMP. NCE staff have familiarity with the City's network from our previous projects, including the delivery of the Pavement Management Plan for the last three cycles (2020, 2022, and 2024). To receive local funding assistance from Measure M, the City is required to perform a PMP update and report the findings to OCTA every two years (on even years). OCTA requires inspections every 2 years for arterial streets and every 6 years for residential streets. As part of this project, the entire Master Plan of Arterial Highways network and Zones 1-6 (excluding private streets) will be evaluated using the walking survey.
To enable the City's PMP to be updated appropriately, the NCE team consists of OCTA-certified and experienced inspectors who will collect accurate, reliable, and consistent data in accordance with ASTM D6433 and the latest OCTA guidelines. No Vehicle-mounted survey methods will be used for this project unless the City would like to try that method on a demo basis on certain streets within the City. To ensure consistency with previous results, NCE proposes to use the same OCTA-certified inspectors that conducted the last three cycles. Accurate PCI data will form the foundation for the analyses and reports. NCE is experienced not just in collecting data, but also in developing maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategies that are sustainable, innovative, and cost-effective.
Based on feedback received from the previous PMP cycles, our team understands that the City is focused on several key objectives: (1) analyzing current maintenance zones and decision trees to ensure PCI remains above 75 while addressing all streets within the maintenance zones; (2) evaluating decision tree thresholds to determine appropriate treatment cut-offs, including refinements we successfully implemented such as excluding streets in very good condition (PCI above 90) and incorporating GAP year calculations for larger zones requiring 1.5-2 year implementation periods; (3) developing treatment recommendations for ALL streets within each zone, even those the City cannot immediately address within budget constraints, to support long-term capital planning; and (4) accounting for non-pavement infrastructure needs including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramp upgrades and base repairs in cost estimates and treatment selection.
Like the previous project, NCE will develop a recommendation for every street within each zone, including deferred streets that cannot be addressed within the City's annual budget. As part of this project, NCE will develop an optimum budget analysis that ensures PCI remains greater than or equal to 75 to maintain Measure M funding eligibility. The optimum Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget will be determined by analyzing multiple budget scenarios, refined decision trees, and zone optimization strategies. The optimum budget will then be used to develop comprehensive planning recommendations, which will fine-tune the StreetSaver® recommendations to match the City's rehabilitation approach based on pavement distresses and comprehensive infrastructure needs.
C. Project Approach and Scope of Work
NCE has assembled a team of highly experienced individuals who have implemented PMPs and updates throughout Southern California. The NCE team will be led by Vivek Jha, MS, PE, who will be responsible for day-to-day project management. Vijay Pulijal, MS, PE, PMP, as NCE's proposed quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) Manager, will have responsibility for incorporating the QA/QC steps into our work. The majority of the team proposed for this project is the same team that worked on the City's last three updates, ensuring continuity and institutional knowledge.
C.1 Work Plan
Task 1 – Kick-Off Meeting
NCE will meet with City staff to review the schedule, budget, project documents, project goals, format of deliverables, and clarify the responsibility of each party. At a minimum, items to be discussed will include:
• Scope of work, project schedule, budget, and invoicing requirements • Review of decision tree refinements and zone optimization strategies based on previous cycle performance • Discussion of comprehensive zone coverage objectives and long-term planning requirements • Format of deliverables and reporting requirements
• Points of Contact and communication protocols
City of Yorba Linda – City-wide Pavement Management Plan 3 NCE will schedule additional meetings with City staff at appropriate milestones to review work performed, update progress, and address any questions or issues that arise.
Deliverables: Meeting agendas and meeting summaries
Task 2 – Document Research
NCE will review all maintenance and rehabilitation activities conducted by the City since the last PMP and incorporate them into the new assessment. This historical data is critical for validating the effectiveness of the current decision tree and predicting future treatment performance. The City will need to provide historical records, including:
• Street name, Street ID, and Section ID
• Beginning and ending limits of work
• Type of Treatment
• Date of Treatment
• Cost of Treatment (Optional)
Populating the StreetSaver® database with recent historical data is extremely useful for determining future treatments, predicting the performance of various pavement sections, and validating the effectiveness of current maintenance strategies.
This includes overlays, reconstructions, and surface seals.
Deliverables: Updated StreetSaver® Database with M&R history Task 3 – Field Investigation
NCE's OCTA-certified inspector will perform a Pavement Condition Survey of the arterial roadway network and City Maintenance Zones 1-6 only (excluding private streets). The survey shall include:
• Evaluation of ride quality for streets
• Evaluation of surface condition and identification of surface distresses for streets
NCE will document the methodology for performing the Pavement Condition Survey, including quality control procedures, to be included in the Final Report.
The City requires that surveys be conducted only by having the evaluator walk each street. To ensure consistency with previous cycles, the same OCTAcertified inspectors who conducted the last three updates will perform the current inspections.
NCE will enter Pavement Condition Survey data in PMP software and determine the present status of the roadway network; the present status of the network should be performed for the entire network, among varying functional classifications, and among varying PMP evaluation criteria. For residential/collector streets not included in the field survey, the pavement management program software shall model the deterioration of these streets based on the most recent field data available.
All pavement distress data collection procedures and reporting shall be pursuant to ASTM D6433 and OCTA PMP guidelines. All raters assigned to this project are current OCTA-certified pavement condition evaluators and will maintain certification through project completion. Additionally, the pavement inspectors assigned to this project will be the same who have collected the data for the past 3 cycles ensuring consistency with the past results.
Please note that NCE’s scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues, including but not limited to traffic, safety, and road hazards, geometric issues, road shoulders, sidewalks, curb and gutters, drainage issues, or short-term maintenance that should be performed.
Deliverables: Updated pavement management database; Citywide PCI Listing Reports NCE’s pavement inspectors have undergone a rigorous certification test through both OCTA and MTC’s “Inspector Certification/Testing” programs.
City of Yorba Linda – City-wide Pavement Management Plan 4 Task 4 – Preventative Maintenance and Rehabilitation Plan NCE will identify and determine a preventative maintenance program and rehabilitation strategy. We will identify the type of maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement treatment required for each street segment and the estimated cost for performing these alternative treatments. NCE will coordinate with City staff to obtain concurrence on decision tree thresholds and unit prices, building on our successful refinements from previous cycles that excluded very good condition streets (PCI >90) and incorporated GAP year calculations.
Deliverables: Updated preventative M&R Plan
Task 5 – Decision Tree Update
NCE will work with City staff to determine existing annual funding expenditures for street maintenance/rehabilitation and current available funding sources. NCE has the latest bid tabs from the City for the multi-year plan, along with recent bid tabs from neighboring cities like Diamond Bar and other Southern California agencies. NCE will use these recent bid tabs to develop comprehensive unit costs and build in appropriate escalation factors to account for inflation when this plan is implemented by the City. To ensure the unit costs are reflective of the current market condition, Unit cost updates will be developed using bid pricing from the last 12 months and will be documented in an appendix to the final report with source bid tabs.
NCE will leverage its extensive civil design experience to develop appropriate costs for different treatments and will be able to account for non-pavement items such as curb ramps, curb and gutter repair, and other concrete work that are typically required as part of pavement rehabilitation projects. This comprehensive approach ensures that the City has realistic cost estimates that reflect the true cost of project implementation.
Building on our successful decision tree modifications from previous cycles, we will refine treatment thresholds to optimize the balance between comprehensive zone coverage and budget efficiency while ensuring all associated infrastructure costs are properly captured.
Deliverables: Updated unit costs in the decision tree
Task 6 – Budget Scenario Analysis
Per OCTA PMP Guidelines, the PMP must provide modeling for a 7-Year Period. NCE understands it has been the intent for the City to maintain a 7-Year Program Cycle such that all streets requiring a treatment would receive such within a 7-Year Period.
However, due to funding constraints, the current cycle will not be completed within the 7-Year Period. Given the current cycle length, NCE will evaluate whether the City should consider an extended cycle length and whether the zones would require adjustments to reflect the longer cycle length.
In simplistic terms, this module answers the questions:
“If I only have limited funds for road maintenance and repair, which streets have the highest priority? When should I perform the repairs?
How much will it cost?”
NCE will develop and analyze 5 comprehensive budget scenarios (in addition to the required OCTA Scenarios) using the City's projected annual pavement budgets. Each scenario will provide detailed annual costs and corresponding network PCIs for extended implementation cycles. These analyses will specifically address how and when deferred streets are treated in the program cycle, ensuring the City has a clear roadmap for addressing all streets within each zone over time.
Simply put, the Budget-Need analysis answers these questions:
“If I have unconstrained funding to meet my PCI goals, which streets should I fix? When should I fix them?
What treatments should I apply?
How much will it cost?”
As part of this task, NCE will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the City's existing maintenance zones to determine whether a reorganization/renumbering of zones, separation/combination of slurry seal or rehabilitation paving programs, or other measures would provide a more beneficial approach. NCE shall evaluate opportunities for consolidating, removing outlier streets, and determining other conflicts. NCE will present the results of the different scenarios to the City with clear recommendations for optimizing the zone structure and implementation strategy.
City of Yorba Linda – City-wide Pavement Management Plan 5 NCE will develop a maintenance cycle for MPAH aimed at raising and sustaining the PCI at a specific value. After setting the maintenance cycle and PCI, NCE will analyze both local street zones and budgets and MPAH cycle and budget to assess the overall PCI, budget needs, deferred maintenance, and financial impacts.
Deliverables: Baseline Existing City Budget Scenario; Full Cycle Budgetary and PCI projections corresponding to different scenarios and discussion of alternate scenarios evaluated; Treatment for Deferred Streets for the City’s preferred budget scenario; Standalone MPAH Cycle; Combined MPAH and local Street Analysis Task 7 – Budget Scenarios
This task is focused specifically on meeting OCTA PMP Guidelines and deliverable requirements. Pursuant to OCTA PMP Guidelines, NCE will perform the required analysis of various street maintenance/rehabilitation budget scenarios and their effect on the City roadway network condition to ensure continued Measure M funding eligibility.
The three required OCTA budget scenarios are:
• Current Funding Level: Analysis of network performance under existing budget allocations
• Maintain Current PCI Condition: Funding requirements to sustain current network PCI levels
• To Improve Current PCI Condition: Budget scenarios to enhance overall network condition These OCTA-required scenarios will be performed for the entire network and among varying functional classifications due to the varying requirements of available funding sources. The analysis will include a discussion regarding the effect on street maintenance/rehabilitation unfunded backlog to ensure OCTA compliance and continued Measure M funding eligibility.
Deliverables: OCTA-compliant budget analysis and minimum scenarios report required for OCTA submittal Task 8 – QC Plan
NCE will provide a Quality Control Plan, including an approach on how to maintain consistency and accuracy during data collection and analysis. All street inspections must be performed by inspectors certified by OCTA for the PMP program.
NCE incorporates a QC component into all projects. For this project, we have proposed the appointment of a QA/QC Manager, Vijay Pulijal, MS, PE, PMP, who will oversee the following:
• Calibration of all data collection activities
• Review of field activities, including spot checks on the field crews • Review field procedures and make changes as needed
• Compare the field data collected with on-site conditions • Review of all data entry functions, including random spot checks • Review of reports generated and analyses performed to ensure a quality product NCE's QA/QC Plan provides for a minimum of 5% of the field data to be re-inspected by a different inspector. A comparison of the distresses (type, severity, and quantity) will be made, and at least 95% of re-inspected sections must be in compliance.
Deliverables: Quality Control Plan
Task 9 – Final Pavement Management Program Report
NCE will prepare a final PMP report and any other required submittal items, as per OCTA guidelines. The report shall include, without limitation, the methods, findings, and recommendations of the consultant, which shall be presented in a single comprehensive document which should include findings generated as part of the other tasks described herein.
Upon City approval to finalize the Final Report, one (1) bound copy of the Final Report shall be furnished to the City, as well as an electronic copy. A preliminary street list and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map shall be prepared and submitted for the City's review. Upon completion of this review, all comments and changes shall be incorporated, and a final street list
City of Yorba Linda – City-wide Pavement Management Plan 6 and GIS map shall be submitted. The maps and data files shall be prepared to seamlessly be uploaded to the City's existing GIS (ESRI ArcInfo) street centerline file/database.
At a minimum, the Final report will contain:
• Executive Summary outlining complete report and strategic recommendations • Methodologies utilized for field surveys and budget analysis • Current overall pavement conditions (PCI) and comparison with previous cycles • Condition distribution by functional road classification and maintenance zone • Decision tree analysis and refinement recommendations • Comprehensive budget scenario analysis including zone completion strategies • Analysis allowing the City to measure impact of deferred maintenance for various funding levels • Exhibit showing proposed annual work based upon available funding over a 7-year period • GIS map exhibits showing existing PCI ratings and comprehensive 7-year work program • Quality Management Plan document
• OCTA-compliant report and data files
Deliverables: Draft and Final Reports; Pavement management plan certification; Pavement management data files in a form useable by OCTA; Electronic files for OCTA submittal
Task 10 – Additional Budget Scenario (Optional)
As part of this additional task, NCE will perform up to three (3) additional budget scenarios and develop a new decision tree.
Deliverables: Results from three (3) budget scenarios.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATES
NCE has been serving the pavement management needs of the City of Yorba Linda through three consecutive cycles since 2020. In 2020, the NCE team successfully transitioned the City’s PAVER™ database to the MTC StreetSaver® platform. As part of the PMP updates for the 2020 and 2022 cycles, the NCE team completed several key tasks. These included converting the PAVER™ databases to StreetSaver® in 2020, verifying all street inventory such as lengths, widths, and locations, and field verifying the pavement inventory. The team also performed distress and condition surveys using the walking method on all City-maintained streets, covering 215 centerline miles, in accordance with ASTM D6433. They calculated the PCI for each street section, performed budgetary analyses including three funding scenarios, and developed both a seven-year maintenance and repair work plan and a twoyear work plan. NCE completed the City’s PMP Update in 2023/24, with the final report prepared and submitted to OCTA in May 2024.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: COLIN TSUI, P.E., ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NCE FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ANNUAL
PAVEMENT PRESERVATION PROJECT (ZONE 7B)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with NCE, in the amount of $140,110.00 to provide Design Engineering Services for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Pavement Preservation Project (APPP)/ADA Improvements Project - Zone 7B (SI261003); and
2. Authorize expenditures for contract contingencies and potential additional services or unanticipated work performance that may arise, in an amount of up to $21,016.50 (15% of the agreement amount); and
3. Upon receipt of appropriate documents, authorize the City Manager, on behalf of Council, to execute the agreement and change order approval authority to execute future contract modifications and contingency increases in an amount not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the approved agreement amount.
BACKGROUND
The City is divided into seven (7) street maintenance zones in which pavement maintenance and preservation treatments are typically implemented for one (1) zone per year. The maintenance zone for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 is Zone 7B, which includes the remainder of the residential streets on the east end of the City. This project will treat the remainder of residential streets within the Via Lomas de Yorba loop and residential streets adjacent to Brush Canyon, completing the Zone 7 pavement maintenance area.
This project will also treat various segments throughout the City that were deferred from previous projects. The Stonehaven and Via del Agua loop will be included in the scope. This was deferred from the previous project scope due to the timing of infrastructure improvements from the Cielo Vista development and the Yorba Linda Water District water line upgrade project on Via del Agua.

Yorba Linda Boulevard from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Avenue and from Yorba Ranch Road to New River Road will also be included as part of this project scope. Esperanza Road from City Limits to Lindsey Drive is included as part of this project. This section of Esperanza was previously deferred due to a SoCal Gas project on Esperanza.
These work zones are shown on Attachment 1 - Vicinity Map. The work at these locations includes localized inlay and dig outs, crack seal, slurry seal, asphalt overlays, and curb ramps.
DISCUSSION
Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services in July 2025 to the firms on the City’s General Municipal On-Call Consultant list. The selection of the consultant is based upon factors such as experience, professional qualifications, and proposed work plan as outlined in the RFP.
A total of four (4) firms submitted proposals, including: David Evans & Associates, Harris & Associates, Inc., NCE, and Willdan. Proposals were reviewed and ranked by the City’s evaluation team. Using the aforementioned evaluation criteria, it was determined that NCE is best suited to meet the City’s project needs. The project scope involves field evaluation of the Zone 7 streets highlighted in Attachment 1 – Vicinity Map and preparing plans and specifications with recommendations for pavement rehabilitation treatments. NCE demonstrated depth of relevant experience in design of similar pavement preservation projects in neighboring cities. NCE has prepared the City’s Pavement Management Plan in the past and has an in-depth knowledge of the current pavement needs. Therefore, staff recommend that the City Council approve the award of an agreement to NCE.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding necessary to accommodate the recommended agreement award and requested contingencies is programmed within the Capital Improvement Program budget.
Funding is budgeted under the APPP/ADA Improvements - Zone 7B project (SI261003) in account 4010050-461620.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may choose not to approve the recommended agreement; however, failure to approve the agreement may result in delays to the City’s annual pavement project schedule.

RE: Proposal for Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramp Improvements
Dear Members of the Selection Committee:
NCE has worked with the City of Yorba Linda (City) on the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) for the last three cycles (2020, 2022, and 2024) and is currently developing a detailed work plan. This experience in supporting pavement management initiatives for the City uniquely qualifies us to develop the City’s annual pavement preservation program, as we are intimately familiar with your street network and the appropriate treatments for each street. During a proposal site review, we noted a need for significant pavement rehabilitation that may exceed the City’s target budget of $4.0 million, but we will work closely with City staff to optimize our treatments and slurry seal opportunities to best optimize the City’s existing funding.
A large portion of this potential cost overrun is the potential need for up to 157 ADA curb ramp improvements.
Established in 1990, NCE is a client-focused consulting firm with extensive experience in civil and environmental engineering for planning, design, and construction. We are recognized for delivering successful civil engineering projects and multi-year pavement programs, including resurfacing, rehabilitation, road reconstruction, Complete Streets, green infrastructure, construction support, and pavement management, for public agencies across California. Our integrated civil and pavement engineering team specializes in municipal roadway infrastructure, tailoring designs to field conditions and providing comprehensive, bid-ready solutions. NCE is known for technical expertise, reliable delivery on tight schedules, and clear communication, with an approach that emphasizes timely submittals, robust Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), and cost-effective plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) packages. Our team offers the following advantages and distinguishing features:
Extensive experience developing PS&E for annual pavement preservation programs, including multi-year programs. Experienced and qualified professionals in civil, pavement, and transportation engineering. Proven record designing thousands of curb ramps statewide, including standalone Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Curb Ramp Projects.
We have successfully implemented similar projects for other local agencies including the FY 2022-23, FY2021, FY 2020, and FY 2018 Street Rehabilitation Projects for the City of San Marino; Area 3 and Area 4 Residential & Arterial Streets Rehabilitation Projects and Areas 3 to 5 CDBG Curb Ramp Projects for the City of Diamond Bar; Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase II for the City of Glendale; and FY 2022 and FY 2023 Street Rehabilitation Projects for the City of Redondo Beach.
We are committed to delivering the bid-ready PS&E within five (5) months of Notice to Proceed, per the City’s review periods and project milestones. We acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 – Response to Written Questions, issued July 25, 2025, and confirm all conditions have been incorporated into this proposal. The signed Addendum Receipt Certification is included in Appendix B. The proposal remains valid for 180 days from the date of submission. As Principal of NCE, Vivek Jha, MS, PE, is authorized to negotiate and sign contracts on behalf of the firm. Jim Bui, PE, will serve as Project Manager and main point of contact for this proposal. He can be reached by phone at (714) 606-8035 or via email at [email protected]. We appreciate your consideration of our proposal and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the City of Yorba Linda.

Vivek Jha, MS, PE, Principal Jim Bui, PE, Project Manager
City of Yorba Linda – Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act Ramp Improvements
2 B. Project Understanding
For this proposal, NCE visited the project sites to better understand the existing pavement conditions and refine our design approach. Based on the City’s Request for Proposal (RFP) and our preliminary site visit, NCE understands the City is seeking a consultant to provide professional civil engineering and pavement engineering services for the FY 25-26 Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and ADA Ramp Improvements Project. Based on the City-provided map, this program includes up to 75 street segments. These segments include approximately 1.7 miles of Arterials, 1.3 miles of Collectors, and 8.9 miles of Residential streets (11.9 miles total). As part of the proposal process, NCE staff first compared the City’s Street list with the NCE-prepared PMP Report and the multi-year work plan. Based on the preliminary pavement condition survey of the streets listed in the RFP, the pavement is generally in “Fair” to “Good” condition. Most sections appear suitable for pavement preservation treatments (e.g., slurry seal) and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays. Based on the RFP, the City has a target construction budget of $4.0 million; however, our initial cost estimation of the required ADA curb ramps and rehabilitation needs indicates the outstanding construction costs may reach up to $5.2 million, depending on final pavement treatments.
C. Project Approach and Scope of Services
C.1 Proposed Approach
Our direct involvement in developing the PMP report and work plans provides us with a distinct advantage and a deeper understanding of the City’s pavement network, long-term goals, and preservation/rehabilitation strategies. Leveraging this insight, NCE will verify the suitability of the proposed treatment types, assess the appropriateness of each candidate street segment, and ensure alignment with the City’s overall asset management objectives. Upon commencing the Preliminary Design Stage, NCE’s pavement engineers will walk and/or drive every street noted in the RFP to determine an appropriate pavement rehabilitation based on a comprehensive visual assessment of the pavement, evaluating both overall trends and deficiencies as well as localized failures and repair needs.
Our engineers will mark and collect the localized base repairs and inlays, which are often one of the costliest elements of an annual preservation program. If streets identified for rehabilitation in the RFP are encountered to have potentially larger pavement design issues during NCE’s visual design review, NCE will notify the City early in the design process to develop suitable design options. Some possible issues we noted during our proposal site walk include excessive build-up of slurry seal or overlays on the shoulder, creating a pavement lip at the gutter pan. This excessive buildup could be problematic for parked vehicles or proposed pavement work. NCE will be able to assist the City in recommending edge milling or micro-milling opportunities to correct adverse shoulder grades to accommodate additional rehabilitation and maintenance seals. Correctly identifying all of these details are crucial in developing an accurate preliminary cost prior to proceeding into the final design stage.
Prior to the development of the 65% plans, NCE will present the preliminary findings of our pavement investigation, including alternatives for the City’s input to guide the overall rehabilitation program. This will also allow our integrated pavement and civil design team to suggest revisions to our scope and approach, including possible revisions to the paving limits or, if necessary, the addition or removal of entire street segments to better meet the City’s budgetary constraints. We’re able to provide this detailed cost analysis based on years of experience developing similar street preservation programs and understanding the associated cost implications of ADA curb ramp repairs and other roadway construction elements prior to the formal plans development. Providing this high-level summary before producing 65% plans allows us to avoid unnecessary revisions to the street list after development of the 65% plans, helping lead to smoother, more efficient, and cost-effective PS&E development.
While our pavement team is investigating the roadway pavement needs, our civil design team will commence preliminary data collection for non-pavement improvements, beginning with confirmation of ADA upgrade needs. During our proposal review, we noted up to 157 curb corner ramp locations likely requiring ADA upgrades. These 157 locations will be designed utilizing field-collected measurements to determine standard plan curb ramps following City standards. Due to the hilly nature of the project streets, special consideration will be given to the development of ADA-compliant curb ramps, which may need to have maximum 15-foot-long flares in accordance with the latest Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines. This will help the City
City of Yorba Linda – Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act Ramp Improvements
3 conserve funding and avoid “chasing the grade” of existing roadways. We’ll also note the presence of utilities at the intersection corners to help minimize costly change orders or RFI’s during construction of curb ramps. As an optional task, our team may also collect severe damage to the concrete curb and gutter, which should be repaired as part of a pavement preservation project.
Once we’ve confirmed the required pavement rehabilitation treatments, paving limits, ADA upgrades, and concrete repairs, NCE will continue with the Preliminary Design to develop the various 65% and 90% vicinity map sheets, roadway improvement plan sheets, and striping improvement sheets. We will also develop relevant cost estimation for bid items and technical specifications utilizing the City’s boilerplate specifications as a template. After working with the City through each milestone, we’ll ultimately provide the City with the 100% Plans in the Final Design Stage.
Despite well-thought-out PS&Es, there may always exist unknown field conditions and questions that arise during construction.
NCE stands by our pavement engineering designs and will be available to the City to provide design services during bidding and construction. One such service is helping City staff re-mark base repairs with the Contractor to avoid potential misunderstanding and costly overruns during the construction of base repairs.
Assumptions: As the project focuses primarily on pavement rehabilitation, we assume:
City to provide all available utility data, as-builts, and relevant design standards. Road rehabilitation, including curb ramps, can be designed within the existing City right-of-way (ROW). No major re-grading and drainage re-design or drainage analysis is required, which will require topographic surveying. No permits are anticipated beyond a no-fee City encroachment permit for optional coring work. No anticipated geometric alterations to intersections or lane reconfigurations. Striping and markings will be replaced in “like-kind”. No signage plans are required. No utility relocation design.
C.2 Scope of Services
Task 1 – Preliminary Design Stage
Task 1.A Project Management and Meetings
NCE’s Project Manager, Jim Bui, PE, will serve as the City’s single point of contact and will have primary responsibility for coordinating the efforts of the project team. Specific project management tasks to be conducted by Jim include monthly budgeting, invoicing, scheduling, and general project administration. Jim will arrange a kick-off meeting with the City to initiate the work. The objectives of the kick-off meeting will be:
Review the scope of work.
Establish paths of communication.
Review project schedule and critical milestones.
Review project requirements, including design
objectives, budget, constraints, and criteria. The
City’s requirements will be further defined during
the meeting.
Review and discuss the pertinent City standards,
provisions, and practices.
Review City Standard Design Criteria and latest Cityadopted formats. Request background information and as-builts.
Obtain electronic file of the City’s cover sheet
template, title block, and CAD Standards.
Whether a simple preventative maintenance project or a complex reconstruction project, it is critical to establish effective lines of communication with and coordination among the various stakeholders from the start to deliver a high-quality project within budget and on schedule. At the kick-off meeting, key deliverables for each task and the project schedule will be reviewed and adjusted accordingly to meet the City's needs.
The following meetings are included in the scope: kick-off/preliminary meeting (1 hour) and four (4) monthly virtual progress meetings. The purpose of these meetings will be to confirm project limits, identify and resolve design issues that may surface, present design alternatives and recommendations, and continue coordination with project stakeholders, as necessary.
Deliverables: Kick-Off meeting and monthly progress meeting agendas and minutes.
Task 1.B Utility Coordination and Record Research
NCE will coordinate with utility agencies early in the design process of the street rehabilitation project to help avoid potential construction delays and unnecessary disruptions to public services. Utility coordination will be a critical item to keep utility providers informed about the project and schedule to allow for proper notification and planning should utility providers have
City of Yorba Linda – Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act Ramp Improvements
4 planned maintenance projects within the subject street sections and/or need to lower/adjust their utilities to accommodate street rehabilitation. As this is a pavement rehabilitation project, we assume there will not be a need for utility relocations.
NCE will utilize a City-provided utility contact list and prepare a Utility “A Letter” on City letterhead for City distribution. Working with other agencies, we have observed that utility letters receive more prompt attention when distributed by a City. This can also help avoid utility agencies assessing additional mapping and reproduction costs, thus resulting in cost-effective utility coordination. NCE will then track the progress of inbound and outbound responses in a utility tracking matrix. NCE will coordinate with the City so that the early notification following our revised treatment recommendation list from Task 1.C will allow utility providers to perform maintenance on their facilities prior to moratorium on the street paving area and/or assess their utilities and the possible need to lower/adjust their facilities, which can take up to a year or longer.
Once the 90% PS&E has been prepared, or at a later City-preferred milestone, NCE will also prepare a Utility “B Letter” on City letterhead for City distribution. This second letter will inform utility agencies of impending construction and clear the way for successful project bidding and construction.
Deliverables: Utility Notification “A Letters” and Utility Contact Matrix; Utility Notification “B Letters” and Utility Contact Matrix.
Task 1.C Pavement Design
Task 1.C.1 Pavement Surveys and Design. NCE’s pavement engineers will perform a pavement condition survey of each street section based on visible distresses to determine the appropriate design recommendations. This pavement condition survey will generally note the presence of load-related and environmental distresses, such as alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, rutting, patches and utility cuts, distortions, and depressions as they pertain to developing appropriate pavement treatments.
During the survey, NCE will identify and document constructability issues, including existing asphalt concrete (AC) build-ups where performing a slurry seal or overlay would require a wedge grind along the gutter lip to avoid problems.
The results of our inspection will be summarized in tabular form by street segment, including proposed treatments and costs.
If the pavement treatments require adjustment to fit within the City’s target construction budget, we can make early adjustments to the treatments or paving limits, saving valuable design efforts. Following this analysis, NCE will prepare a comprehensive technical memorandum summarizing the finalized street selections and recommended rehabilitation and preservation treatments for City review and approval, which will be the basis of commencing the 65% PS&E.
NCE will document localized base repairs and inlays using GPS equipment with a typical accuracy up to 2 feet. The collected data will be processed in GIS and delivered as a KMZ file, detailing the street name, address, and dimensions of each repair.
Deliverables: Pavement Treatment Recommendations Table including preliminary construction costs; Pavement Evaluation Memo; and Base Repair and Inlay photo log (KMZ) with geo-tagged locations.
Task 1.C.2 Pavement Coring, Laboratory Testing and Pavement Design Report [Optional]. When necessary, NCE will obtain pavement core samples to support the evaluation of potential subgrade deficiencies. For instance, on Box Canyon Drive, localized alligator cracking and surface depressions suggest possible subgrade instability. Pavement coring will enable NCE to verify existing layer thicknesses, identify material types, and assess subgrade conditions. These findings are essential for developing accurate pavement designs and determining cost-effective and durable rehabilitation strategies. This information is critical for developing accurate pavement designs and selecting cost-effective and durable rehabilitation strategies.
NCE will perform up to two (2) days of pavement coring, including collecting up to sixteen (16) pavement cores (4”–8” diameter) on selected streets in the City. Cores will be marked for utility clearance via DigAlert®, and thickness/material type of asphalt, concrete pavement, aggregate base, and reinforcing fabric will be recorded. Representative subgrade samples, up to six (6) locations, will be tested for R-value, moisture content, and Atterberg Limits. Core holes will be backfilled with AC cold patch material.
Temporary traffic control will be provided by a third-party vendor in accordance with the 2024 WATCH Manual. If requested, site-specific stamped traffic control plans can be prepared as an additional service.
City of Yorba Linda – Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act Ramp Improvements
5 A Pavement Design Report will be prepared summarizing condition survey results, coring and lab data, and including:
Recommended pavement repairs, overlay
thicknesses, and mill depths
Preliminary cost estimates
Alternatives analysis (e.g., Hot Mix Asphalt, Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM), recycling methods,
Asphalt-Rubber Aggregate Membrane, interlayers)
Deliverables: Draft and Final Pavement Design Report with design tables and laboratory summaries.
Task 1.D Field Data Collection
Our team will collect key roadway features and geometry to aid in the development of our project basemap suitable for the annual preservation program plans. NCE’s engineers and field staff will walk the project streets and collect key geometric information such as roadway widths and cross slopes in the shoulder utilizing hand tools, including measuring wheels, tape measures, and digital smart levels.
Surface visible utilities, including manhole lids, pull boxes, valve boxes, traffic signal detector loops, and catch basins within the paving limits, will be approximately located in the field using Geographic Information System (GIS) methods through a combination of handheld Global Positioning System devices and publicly available aerial imagery. Underground utility mapping, such as utility potholing or ground penetrating radar (GPR), is not included.
Intersection corners with sidewalks and no curb ramp or curb ramps missing a detectable warning surface will be inspected for key curb ramp layout information. As part of our preliminary proposal reconnaissance, we identified 157 non-compliant curb ramps, plus eight (8) corners that do not have sidewalks. Data collection for these curb ramps includes the curb height on both sides of the proposed ramp location, existing sidewalk widths, and prevailing sidewalk slope. The presence of major utilities in the sidewalk, such as catch basins, traffic signals, and utility vaults or pull boxes, will also be noted during our inspection.
Striping and markings will be recorded, including lane widths for the development of project striping plans.
Deliverables: Curb ramp photo log (KMZ) with geo-tagged locations.
Task 1.E 65% PS&E
Basemap Preparation. NCE will utilize the field data collected under Task 1.D in conjunction with publicly available aerial imagery to develop a suitable project basemap for pavement preservation design, including ancillary concrete repairs and ADA curb ramp upgrades. The basemap will also depict surface visible utility features such as manholes and utility valves sufficient to call out for protection or adjustment during paving operations.
NCE will utilize a combination of publicly available Orange County GIS parcel limits, GIS City limits, and City-provided as-builts to depict necessary ROW information for collaboration with stakeholders and aid in depicting paving limits. Based on our understanding of the pavement rehabilitation scope, no additional ROW is required for the design of the project.
Based on data needs discussed at the kick-off meeting, NCE will also request additional as-built information or site-specific information available to the City and pertinent to the project development. NCE will integrate this information into our project basemap utilizing the City-provided survey as a starting point. 65% Design. The 65% draft PS&E will incorporate the various data collection efforts, basemap, and pavement design compiled as part of previous tasks, including available as-built information from the City. The 65% roadway plans will incorporate typical design elements, including roadway improvement plans, pavement treatment details, base repairs (digouts) locations and quantities, wedge grinds, conform grind locations at intersecting side streets, and limits of paving work. Surface visible utility structures within the paving footprint will be identified on the Plans for either adjustment or protection as appropriate. In general, no sidewalk information will be depicted on the plans, except for the edge of curb and gutter for arterial street plans.
On the arterial street plans, curb ramp replacements will be designed per Caltrans Standard Plans or similar City Standards, and the approximate shape and relative size will be drawn on the Plans, with a corresponding callout for the relevant Standard Plan Case. In general, no significant alteration of curb lines or utility relocation is anticipated for these facilities; therefore, no details will be provided. For the residential and collector plans, only a relevant Caltrans Standard Plan callout for curb ramp Case will be denoted; no general layout or ramp detail will be provided. Due to the hilly topography, some curb ramp flares may be 15- foot-long maximum and may be noted on the plans for all street types.
The Plans will be prepared in AutoCAD format on 24” x 36” sheets, utilizing the City Title Block and CAD Template as agreed upon during Task 1.A and drawn at a scale of 1” = 80’ for residential and 1” = 40’ for arterial and collector streets (or as
City of Yorba Linda – Design Services for Annual Pavement Preservation Program (Zone 7B) and Americans with Disabilities Act Ramp Improvements
6 appropriate and listed below). Striping plans will only be prepared for arterial and collector streets and will generally only include replacement of pavement striping and markings in like-kind.
Anticipated 65% Street Improvement Plan List:
(1) – Title Sheet with Location Map, Vicinity Map, and Notes. (9) – Vicinity Map Improvement Plan Sheet for residential streets (10) – Roadway Improvement Plan/Plan Sheets (4 - Yorba Linda Blvd, 2 - Esperanza Rd, 4 - Stonehaven Dr/Via Del Agua) (10) – Striping Improvement Plan/Plan Sheets (4 - Yorba Linda Blvd, 2 - Esperanza Rd, 4 - Stonehaven Dr/Via Del Agua) (1) – Construction Details Sheet
The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Cost will be prepared in Microsoft Excel format using a Bid Item format and will be based on recent construction cost data available to NCE for projects of this type. Because of NCE’s involvement in the design and construction of numerous similar projects in Southern California, as well as the City’s PMP, we are confident in our ability to estimate the construction cost of the City’s project.
NCE assumes the City will provide boilerplate specifications suitable for the development of the roadway rehabilitation project in Microsoft Word format. NCE will provide revisions to the Special Provisions related to the specifications for materials or construction related to our bid items using Greenbook Specifications. NCE assumes the City will develop the “front-end” specifications, including the overall bid book.
Deliverables: Electronic Deliverables - 65% draft plans (PDF), 65% draft Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Cost (PDF), and 65% Special Provisions (Microsoft Word)
