The City's existing agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for engineering services is set to
expire on June 30, 2025. To continue providing critical engineering support for the City's Capital
Improvement Program and day-to-day operations, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on
April 24, 2025. Five proposals were received and evaluated based on qualifications, experience,
staffmg, and cost. Transtech Engineers, Inc. received the highest overall score and was determined
to be the most qualified and cost-effective firm. Staff recommends awarding a Professional
Services Agreement to Transtech Engineers, Inc., for a three-year term, with an annual not -to -
exceed amount of $482,000 and two optional one-year term extensions subject to performance and
funding availability.
BACKGROUND
On February 11, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a two-year
agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for Engineering Services and support to the Department
of Public Works. This agreement included an option for a one-year extension. On September 7,
2021, the City Council extended the agreement by another year, bringing it to February 17, 2023.
Two years later, on January 24, 2023, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the
agreement, extending it to June 30, 2024. Finally, on March 26, 2024, the City Council approved
a Third Amendment to the agreement, extending the term to the current contract expiration date of
June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for managing the City's
Capital Improvement Program (CIP), administering contracts, issuing and inspecting public works
permits, providing staff support to the Planning and Traffic Commissions, reviewing plans and
maps, ensuring stormwater compliance, and performing day-to-day engineering functions.
AGENDA ITEM 6.0
City Council Meeting
June 10, 2025
Page 2 of 4
The City relies on the expertise and support of professional engineering firms to maintain the high
standard of services provided to the community. Recognizing that the current contract for these
essential services is set to expire, it is critical to ensure there is no gap in service delivery. To
address this, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on April 24, 2025, for General
Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and Inspection Services (Attachment A). The RFP was posted
on the City's PlanetBids platform, with a submission deadline of May 20, 2025. A total of five
proposals were received from the following firms (Attachment B):
• Bowman Consulting Group, Brea, CA
• Infrastructure Architects, Irvine, CA
• Kevin Ko & Associates, LLC, Cerritos, CA
• Ladayu Consulting Group, Palos Verdes Estates, CA
• Transtech Engineers, Inc., Chino, CA
Following the issuance of the RFP, an evaluation process was conducted by a panel consisting of
the Director of Public Works, the City Engineer, and the Associate Engineer. Each proposal was
thoroughly reviewed to ensure completeness and was assessed based on key criteria, including the
firms' qualifications, relevant project experience, and the adequacy of proposed staffing plans.
During this comprehensive review, the evaluation team noted that all firms demonstrated a strong
capacity to fulfill the City's project needs. However, Transtech Engineers, Inc. consistently
outperformed its competitors across the evaluation criteria. Their proposal showcased exceptional
qualifications, extensive relevant experience, and a robust staffing strategy tailored to the City's
objectives. The evaluation results table, provided below, summarizes the comparative scores:

rates for key personnel —including the Associate Engineer, Traffic Engineer, and Public Works
Inspector —subject only to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. Given their proven
track record, familiarity with City standards, and cost-effective approach, staff recommends
awarding the Professional Services Agreement to Transtech Engineers, Inc.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional
Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. to provide General Engineering, Traffic
Engineering, and Inspection Services in an amount not -to -exceed $482,000 per year, for a term of
three (3) years with the option to extend for up to two (2) one-year extensions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding is provided through various sources including General Fund — Fund 101, Measure R —
Fund 225, and the approved CIP Budget as applicable. The cost for the Engineering Services will
be based on the hourly rates included in the fee schedule (Attachment C). The contract does not
commit the City to expend a specified amount for these services, however, the contract shall be
for an amount not -to -exceed $482,000 per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed plan is not defined as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA); therefore, the proposed action is not subject to CEQA.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
Strategy three of the City of Rosemead's Strategic Plan is Beautification and Infrastructure. By
hiring an engineering firm to perform all engineering functions, the City Council's vision of the
City of Rosemead, which includes an aggressive Capital Improvement Program, will be closer to
being implemented and fulfilled.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third -party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 (or
otherwise consistent with the insurer's endorsement). Consultant also
agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the
right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation
rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds,
and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement
relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance
coverage.
[INSERT COMPANY NAME]
Page 16 of 19
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has
not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any
exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor
or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall
not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of
contractual liability or reduction of discovery period} that may affect City's
protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an
additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall
be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the
event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the
event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage
is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it
deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to
and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at
City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City
of any cancellation of coverage. A ten (10) day notice to City shall apply to
nonpayment of premiums. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the
insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that
any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the
requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage (except Professional Liability and Workers' Compensation)
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other
insurance or self-insurance available to City.
[INSERT COMPANY NAME]
Page 17 of 19
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and
assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in
conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that
upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in
the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further
agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect,
Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance
of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its
obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible
or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -insured retention must be
declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the
Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or
self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to
City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking
any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards
performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does
it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the
agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this
[INSERT COMPANY NAME]
Page 18 of 19
obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that
effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced
with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such
coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A
coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is
acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured
endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing
or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration
of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with
respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other
requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes
of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any
party or insured to be limiting or all inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from
any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here
to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision
conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge
City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by
this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City.
It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of
complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City
for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
[INSERT COMPANY NAME]
Page 19 of 19
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

1c. Approach
Customer Care and Responsive Service Approach:
Our services are founded on the principals of Total Quality Management for Total Customer Care and
Satisfaction.
All telephone calls or e-mails received are returned within the same working day, or the following day.
We take pride in our “Same Day Response” motto.
Transtech also provides a 24-hour emergency contact number to its clients.
Customer Care means highest quality customer service. Transtech is committed to providing “Customer
Care” to the City, City's patrons, including responding quickly and effectively to the walk-in, telephone,
and electronic inquiries of the public related to our services. Responsiveness is an integral part of
Transtech’s “Customer Care” service approach.
Our Contract Principal will meet with the Client’s Project Manager frequently for service evaluation and
Technical Proposal 5
City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
address any areas for improvements.
Responsiveness is an integral part of Transtech’s “customer friendly” service approach. While our service
is always on an “as needed” basis, our responsiveness is on “full-time” basis.
Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite certain projects, when requested, by
the City.
Structured Approach:
We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable
of providing the City with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies,
including written manuals on quality control, project management, and design procedures for its staff and
for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments
undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements.
The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of
the specific contract for the specific project.
• Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues
and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires extensive hands-
on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team
members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing
them to a completion on time and within budget.
• Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures
to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address
unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner.
• Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule should
properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work,
and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work with the
contractor to develop recovery plans.
• Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies,
weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation
system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as well as pdf files.
• Safety and Security: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements,
OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities.
• Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final
reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report.
• Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new
facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from
construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic
project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration.
• Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project
participants a common project information and file sharing platform.
Coordination with City:
Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the
project duration. We will establish and maintain a close working relationship with City staff. We will manage
assigned projects, carefully control costs and resources, and complete assigned work on schedule. We will
provide progress reports to the City at regular intervals.
Expediting Projects:
Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite tasks when requested by the City. Transtech
Technical Proposal 6
City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
has sufficient staff and resources to expedite projects.
CIP Management:
Transtech manages Capital Project Programs and maintains CIP Matrix and Schedule for various contract
Cities. The CIP Matrix includes detailed tracking information for each CIP, as well as a high-level project
schedule status in bar chart format for various project phases. The CIP Matrix is updated frequently, and
project status is presented to City Management at management meetings, as well as to City Council when
directed by the City Management.
Project Schedules:
Transtech has a proven track record for completing projects on time. Part of our role as Project Managers is
to develop, review, update and manage the project schedules and confirm that tasks are scheduled within
reasonable and appropriate timeframes. We constantly review, monitor and update the schedule to confirm
it is in compliance with the original schedule and that related coordination with external/3rd parties/regulatory
agencies/utility companies, etc. are on track. If the look ahead schedule is not in compliance with the
original schedule, we take appropriate actions to avoid potential delays. Our approach to Scheduling and
Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery includes having the contractor prepare a baseline
schedule, which identifies the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and
sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the
baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans.
Contract Administration Approach (Caltrans LAPM):
For construction contract administration, we follow guidelines described in Caltrans Local Assistance
Procedures Manual (LAPM). Maintaining complete and accurate files is a very important aspect of
managing federally funded projects. Generally, whenever the local agency is unable to produce requested
data or information, it is assumed by reviewing personnel that the required actions were either never
performed or not properly recorded. Organized project files can minimize these negative assumptions.
Organization and content of the project file is one indicator of effective and efficient management of the
project by the resident engineer. LAPM has been prepared to aid California local agencies scope, organize,
design, construct and maintain their public transportation facilities when they seek Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) funded federal-aid or state funding. This manual describes the processes, procedures,
documents, authorizations, approvals and certifications, which are required in order to receive federal-aid
and/or state funds for many types of local transportation projects.
Project Controls:
Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk
ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major
control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another
has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime
contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the
‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed
filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.
Technical Proposal 7
City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
Project Control System:
Transtech has developed its in-house Project Control Procedures and System, follow guidelines similar to what
is described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Following is the link to Transtech’s Project
Control Procedures and System:

ENGINEERING PLAN CHECK AND PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTION SERVICE APPROACH:
Service Philosophy:
Our service philosophy is defined by our unique “Customer Care” approach in delivering our services in High
Quality, Timely, Efficient and Customer Friendly manner:
Transtech is well known in providing Cost Effective Services on time with a customer friendly and
responsive approach.
Our services are founded on the principles of Total Quality Management for Total Customer Care.
We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech
capable of providing the City with the highest quality product.
We start by working with the applicant early on and during plan review to help them prepare a set of
plans which have all of the required information clearly and logically presented.
Additionally, we never hesitate to make suggestions which help eliminate complicated details,
reduce construction costs, and/or provide details which are easy to verify in the field. Experience has
taught us well that inspection time and applicant frustration can both be substantially reduced, while
increasing overall compliance, by producing a better set of plans during the plan review process.
And in the case of homeowners, this policy often demonstrates early on that the City really is truly a
partner in a process that can often be a source of stress and tension for many applicants, and we fully
understand that.
This policy reduces the number of plan review rechecks required, allows the applicant to obtain a
permit much sooner, and reduces the overall time our staff is required to spend on that particular
plan.
Transtech provides all plan check comments on electronic files. All plan check comments are
provided on pdf format electronically, as well as hard copies. Plan review corrections are written
clearly and are fully detailed to explain the Code deficiency.
To help the applicant better understand the problem, Transtech provides as much information during
plan review as possible. We believe that if the applicant has a clear understanding of the problem,
he or she can take the necessary steps to correct the condition. This policy reduces the number of
plan review rechecks required, allows the applicant to obtain a permit much sooner, and reduces the
overall time our staff is required to spend on that particular plan. Unclear and/or cryptic corrections
are never written, and all correction lists, except those written over the counter, are typed and printed
on a laser printer.
Our plan checkers confer early on and respond to questions from the architect, engineer, designer,
applicant, etc. When requested, our plan checkers also meet with the architect, engineer, designer,
applicant, etc. at our offices to answer questions or for rechecks where the plan corrections.
Our policy is to assist the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc. as much as possible, which
helps eliminate complicated details, reduce construction costs, and/or provide details which are easy
to verify in the field.
All telephone calls or e-mails received are returned within the same working day, or the following day.
We take pride in our “Same Day Response” motto.
Responsiveness is an integral part of Transtech’s “customer friendly” service approach.
We will strive to enhance the City’s image by public trust to be the most desirable community to live,
invest and conduct business.
Customer Care means highest quality customer service. Transtech is committed to providing
“Customer Care” to the City, City's patrons, responding quickly and effectively to the walk-in,
telephone, and electronic inquiries of the public related to our services.
Plan Check Processing:
When a plan check order is received, it is logged and reviewed by Building Staff and then assigned to
applicable plan checkers. The plan check duration is monitored thru the plan check log data base, which
generates messages at identified intervals to inform plan checkers and supervising Sr. Staff so that they are
aware of how the progress and status continuously. If any potential delay is monitored, necessary steps are
Technical Proposal 10
City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
taken, such as meeting with plan checker to review the schedule, workload, performance, and identify
actions, including assigning additional staff, if necessary, to ensure timely completion of assignment.
Plan Check Coordination:
Our plan checkers respond to questions from the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc. When
requested, our plan checkers also meet with the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc. at our offices
to answer questions or for rechecks.
• Our policy is to assist the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc. as much as possible, which
helps eliminate complicated details, reduce construction costs, and/or provide details which are easy
to verify in the field. This pro-active approach reduces inspection time and questions, and applicant
frustration, while increasing overall compliance, by producing a better set of plans during plan review
process. Especially, when the applicant is a homeowner trying to improve his/her property, this policy
often demonstrates early on that the City really is here to help.
Approach to Meeting with Applicants:
Our staff is available to applicants by phone and through email or through virtual meeting for questions or
available to meet for rechecks if necessary. Our policy is to meet with applicants virtually via TEAMS or ZOOM
or when necessary, at City Hall, but we also have an available facility at our office meetings with applicants.
Expedited/Off-Business Hours/Weekend Services:
If the City receives a request from applicants for expedited plan check services, Transtech staff is able to
provide additional resources to accommodate such a request. If the City requests inspection services,
Transtech staff will provide additional resources to accommodate inspection requests during off business
hours and weekends.
Quick Turn Around and Expedited Service:
Transtech will provide plan checks on a quick turn-around schedule. Transtech also provides expedited
service when requested. Applicant will be able to see online on real time the progress of plan check
submittals.
Weekend, Holiday & Atter Work Inspection:
Transtech is readily available and has the resources to provide weekend, holiday, and after-work hour
inspections as requested by the City Manager or designee.

3.c. Highlights of Transtech’s Community Involvement in Rosemead
At Transtech Engineers, our dedication to the City of Rosemead transcends the delivery of
exceptional engineering services. We believe that meaningful community engagement is an
essential component of public service, and that our role as overall City Engineering services should
go hand in hand with civic responsibility. This philosophy has been deeply woven into our work
with the City of Rosemead over the past decade.
For nearly 10 years, we have proudly served the City through our technical expertise as well as
through sustained involvement in civic life. Our belief is simple: when we invest in the community,
we build stronger, safer, and more connected cities. That’s why we’ve committed ourselves to
showing up—consistently, visibly, and with purpose.
A Track Record of Tangible Investment
Transtech has contributed over $70,000 back into the Rosemead community through direct
sponsorships, school supply donations, meals for City departments, volunteer time, and in-kind

safety appreciation to cultural celebrations and economic development forums.
We have supported and participated in more than 60 City events, including legacy annual

City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
These acts of appreciation reflect our sincere respect for the people who keep the City running
safely and efficiently every day.
Investing in the Future: Youth and Education
The future of any city lies in its young people. Transtech has been a visible and vocal advocate
for youth empowerment in Rosemead, supporting programs like the Power In Me Girls Conference,
the Girls Empowerment Symposium, and graduating senior celebrations. We’ve also donated
hundreds of backpacks filled with needed school supplies to students across the City.
Our vision includes expanding these efforts during the upcoming contract term. We plan to:
• Sponsor scholarships for Rosemead students pursuing careers in engineering or public
service
• Partner with local schools to offer guest speaking engagements and career awareness
activities
• Host engineering and municipal services workshops for students
• Provide job shadowing and internship opportunities tied to active City projects
Strengthening Civic and Cultural Connections
Community unity is built through celebration, pride, and shared experience. Our participation in
the Lunar New Year Galas and Trunk or Treat events reflects our support for the City’s diverse
cultural identity and ongoing investment in community-building programs. These events bring
together families, businesses, elected officials, and City departments in powerful ways—and we
are proud to contribute to their success year after year.
Looking Ahead: Continued Service and Civic Commitment
In alignment with the City’s RFP evaluation criteria, Transtech reaffirms its commitment to
performing City-reviewed and approved community service activities throughout the term of the
contract. In addition to continuing participation in the events listed above, we propose the
following community benefits:
• Continuing active and engaged membership in the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce.
• Providing in-kind logistical or technical support at City-hosted community events.
All proposed activities will be coordinated with City staff to ensure alignment with City priorities
and programming needs.
A Proven Community Partner
At Transtech, we take seriously the responsibility of serving as the City’s engineering consultant—
and we believe that responsibility includes civic participation, cultural awareness, and ongoing
community investment.
Our work impacts the daily lives of Rosemead’s residents, and we approach that work with
humility, pride, and purpose. We are honored to have built this strong foundation of trust with the
City and are fully committed to strengthening our role in the years ahead. We look forward to
continue serving not just as your city’s engineer, but as a dependable, invested, and community-
focused partner.

APPROACH TO SERVICES
Project Management
Before any work begins, our team will meet with City staff to develop a project management plan that best fits
the needs of the project. The intent of this plan is to ensure everyone is in agreement with the goals, outcomes,
scope, schedule, resources required, and costs of the project, so there are no ambiguities. This sets the baseline
for scope, schedule, and costs which form the basis for measuring performance. With this plan as a guideline in
place, it will allow our team and the City team to identify any deviations further down the line that may warrant
a change. Additionally, the project management plan will identify who the key stakeholders are that should
provide input for the project, outline a communications management plan to determine what information gets
disseminated to who, a change management plan to determine who has the authority to approve changes, and
a risk management plan to help the project team respond to and mitigate such risks. The completed project
management plan is then executed, monitored, and controlled throughout the life of the project until successful
completion.
Traffic Engineering Services
Traffic Engineers play a crucial role in the successful review of traffic and transportation improvements and
overall traffic operations while maintaining a safe environment for circulation of vehicles, bicycles, and
pedestrians in the public right-of-way for public agencies. Traffic engineering involves the application,
knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet project requirements and deliver desired outcomes, but more
importantly, also requires effective communication and collaboration with the community. Understanding
traffic engineering and transportation system services for public agencies is essential for effective planning,
execution, and control of projects that serve the public interest.
Our Traffic and Transportation Engineering services range from responding to citizen requests and design efforts
to development of traffic and transportation policies and managing multi-million-dollar Capital Improvement
Projects. Currently, our staff serves as contract City Traffic Engineers or provides traffic engineering services to
various cities in the Southern California area. KKA’s intimate knowledge and understanding of local road and
traffic conditions are foundation to our successful program and project delivery model. We can review the
existing transportation facilities and systems to determine the need for traffic control devices, and to ensure
the safe and efficient operation of the City’s transportation system.
Our staff of experts conducts traffic surveys and data collection; investigates motorist and vehicle
characteristics; identifies and makes recommendation on traffic safety; and utilizes traffic laws and enforcement
to determine traffic signal timing.
Private Land Development
Proper Land Development Engineering is critical to ensuring healthy partnerships between the public and
private sectors. KKA believes the land development process is the epitome of government/public administration
as it encompasses all areas of Public Works, Community and Economic Development, Parks and Recreation,
Emergency Services, other City Departments, and outside agencies. It involves expertise in urban planning,
engineering design, community outreach and consensus, infrastructure studies and improvements, traffic and
transportation systems, operations and maintenance, law enforcement, finance and economics, and fruitful
City of Rosemead | Public Works Department
Proposal for City Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and General Engineering Services
Page 7
political debate to promote increased standards of living for a better quality of life. The Land Development
Engineer serves specialized regulatory roles to ensure land development projects are implemented in
accordance to federal, state, and City standards.
KKA understands the importance of and embraces collaboration with other City Departments, outside agencies,
developers, community members, and other stakeholders that may be impacted by proposed projects. This
extensive process is not “cookie cutter” and does not necessarily apply to all projects, so it requires an
experienced Land Development Engineer to be able to identify and navigate through the appropriate
considerations, processes, and permits for each individual project, which the KKA team is ready to provide.
Meetings - Managing Stakeholder Expectations
KKA believes in the philosophy of the “Iron Triangle” or “Triple Constraints” of
project management, which is the interlocking of the Scope, Cost, and Time
factors of a project. Successful project management requires the delicate
balancing of these three elements to achieve success, so that scope creep is
limited and that projects get completed within budget and within the allotted
schedule.
The reason that it is called the Iron Triangle or Triple Constraints is because
you cannot stretch one leg of the triangle without affecting the length of the
others. The triangle is the strongest structural shape, but if you increase the
“Scope” leg, you will also need to increase the “Cost” and “Time” legs. Otherwise, the triangle will break, causing
“Quality” to be sacrificed.
This is why it is crucial for the Project Manager to effectively communicate and convey this relationship to the
project team and stakeholders, so expectations are managed in terms of quality and functionality of the project
deliverables. While it is not uncommon for project scopes to change throughout the life of a project and should
be expected, it must be made known to the stakeholders that changing the scope (or any other leg of the
triangle) will have implications on the other legs, which can be overlooked. Proper project management
techniques by the KKA team will ensure that these elements will always be in balance, so there are no unpleasant
surprises at the end of the project.
Time Management & Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Our Time Management and Quality Control Program is designed to ensure efficient project execution and to
deliver high-quality results within budget. The program encompasses effective planning, scheduling, tracking,
and optimization of project timelines by identifying critical paths, as well as the establishment of robust quality
control measures.
In terms of time management, we focus on comprehensive project planning and scheduling, breaking down
tasks, allocating resources, and assigning responsibilities. Regular progress tracking and monitoring allow us to
identify potential delays and risks, enabling proactive measures to keep projects on track. We also employ time
optimization techniques and leverage project management tools/software for streamlined collaboration. This
entails regularly scheduled meetings to discuss project progress and ensure each team member understands
what was previously done, what is currently being done, and outlining the next steps for what needs to be done.
City of Rosemead | Public Works Department
Proposal for City Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and General Engineering Services
Page 8
Quality control is a vital aspect of our program, with an emphasis on meticulous planning, adherence to quality
standards, creating checklists, peer reviews, and effective communication with the client to ensure tasks are
being completed to meet or exceed expectations. With our team’s diverse experience, we are not only able to
have a fresh set of eyes perform QA/QC reviews, but have it reviewed from an impartial perspective. We also
maintain a repository of lessons learned as continuous improvement is at the core of our quality control efforts,
with data analysis, feedback gathering, and process enhancements playing key roles.

Our understanding is that the City of Rosemead wishes to
engage an experienced professional engineering firm to
provide City Engineering services and support for the Public
Works Department. The firm must be familiar with all aspects
of municipal government and be able to provide turnkey
services to support all aspects of the services needed for
the Department of Public Works, Community Development
Services, city manager and other city departments. Our
proposed staff have extensive experience with managing the
day-to-day engineering and management tasks, and they are
ready to assist the City with variety of engineering services
and disciplines. They bring many years of engineering,
project management and construction management
experience, based on actual hands-on experience through
working directly for cities. They bring many lessons learned
to share with the City of Rosemead and at the same time,
follow the City’s goals and objectives.

Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 11
In addition to reviewing consultant-prepared studies, our
team specializes in preparing traffic impact studies that
include capacity and safety analyses, identification of
operational deficiencies, and development of mitigation
strategies. We provide clear, actionable recommendations in
response to specific traffic concerns and offer comparative
evaluations of alternative improvements when appropriate.
Our approach ensures that all findings are practical,
context-sensitive, and aligned with the City’s long-term
transportation goals.
To support consistency and transparency in the review
process, we will prepare a customized set of Transportation
Impact Study Guidelines for the City, based on Caltrans’
Transportation Impact Study Guide. These guidelines
will define when a TIS is required, outline the scope and
methodology for traffic data collection and analysis, and
establish criteria for evaluating impacts and identifying
mitigation measures. This framework will help streamline
the review process and ensure that all development-related
traffic studies meet the City’s expectations for quality and
rigor.
Development Projects
Our team has extensive experience supporting municipalities
in the review of proposed development projects with a
focus on traffic-related issues. We routinely assist planning
departments and City Engineers by evaluating development
applications for their potential impacts on traffic operations,
site access, internal circulation, and parking adequacy. Our
approach is grounded in a thorough understanding of local,
state, and federal standards, including the California Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD), Caltrans
design guidelines, and AASHTO criteria.
We provide detailed technical reviews of traffic impact
studies submitted by developers, assessing the validity
of assumptions, methodologies, and conclusions. Our
reviews include an evaluation of trip generation estimates,
intersection and corridor level-of-service analyses, and the
effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures. We also
assess the compatibility of proposed site access points with
adjacent roadway operations, ensuring that driveways, curb
cuts, and turning movements are designed for safe and
efficient ingress and egress.
In addition to traffic impacts, we evaluate internal site
circulation to ensure that vehicle movements—including
those of emergency vehicles, delivery trucks, and
pedestrians—are accommodated safely and logically. We
review parking layouts for compliance with municipal
codes and best practices, including stall dimensions, ADA
accessibility, and circulation patterns within parking areas.
Our team is also equipped to review off-site improvements
proposed by developers, such as traffic signal modifications,
roadway widening, and detour plans. We verify that these
improvements are designed in accordance with applicable
standards and coordinate with City and County agencies as
needed to ensure consistency with broader transportation
goals.
To support these efforts, we conduct field investigations
and data collection using a variety of tools, including radar
speed detectors, automatic traffic recorders (ATRs), and
video-based systems. We also maintain a partnership with
City Traffic Counters (CTC) to supplement our data collection
capabilities. Our engineers routinely perform sight distance
evaluations at intersections and driveways to ensure
compliance with AASHTO standards and to identify any
potential safety concerns.
When requested, our qualified staff are available to represent
the City in meetings with applicants, developers, and land
use boards. We provide clear, objective feedback and work
collaboratively to resolve issues while upholding the City’s
standards for safety, mobility, and community impact.

Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 12
Conditions of Approval
Our team is well-versed in preparing clear, enforceable, and
technically sound conditions of approval for development
projects. These conditions are a critical component of the
entitlement process, ensuring that proposed developments
align with the City’s traffic engineering standards, safety
objectives, and long-term mobility goals.
We work closely with City planning and engineering staff
to review development applications and identify traffic-
related impacts that require mitigation. Based on our
technical analysis—including traffic impact studies, site
access evaluations, parking assessments, and circulation
reviews—we draft conditions that are tailored to the specific
context of each project. These may include requirements for
off-site improvements, signal modifications, traffic control
installations, or implementation of transportation demand
management (TDM) strategies.
Our conditions of approval are written to be both legally
defensible and practically implementable. We ensure
that each condition is supported by data, consistent with
applicable regulations (such as CEQA, CA-MUTCD, and
Caltrans standards), and clearly defines the responsibilities of
the applicant. Where appropriate, we include performance-
based criteria and timelines to facilitate compliance
monitoring by City staff.
In addition, our team is available to present and explain
these conditions at public hearings, Planning Commission
meetings, or City Council sessions, helping to ensure
transparency and alignment among stakeholders.
Traffic Safety
Our team takes a proactive, data-informed, and community-
responsive approach to evaluating traffic safety concerns
raised by City staff, the Traffic Commission, and members of
the public. We apply sound engineering judgment grounded
in both technical expertise and a commitment to advancing
the City’s safety goals.
Central to our methodology is the integration of the Federal
Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Safe System Approach,
which emphasizes designing transportation systems that
anticipate human error and minimize the severity of crashes.
Rather than focusing solely on reactive measures, we
prioritize systemic improvements that reduce risk across all
modes of travel—particularly for vulnerable users such as
pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders.
When safety concerns are brought forward, our team
conducts a comprehensive review of the location in question,
including field observations, crash history analysis, and
operational assessments. We evaluate roadway geometry,
signage, signal timing, sight distance, and multimodal
access to identify contributing factors and develop targeted
recommendations. These may include enhancements
to on-street parking configurations, driveway interface
improvements, traffic calming measures, ADA accessibility
upgrades, and pedestrian safety treatments.
We are experienced in implementing a wide range of
roadway modifications, including signing and striping
enhancements, intersection reconfigurations, vertical
deflection elements, and physical roadway redesigns.
Examples of these treatments include pedestrian hybrid
beacons, roundabouts, curb extensions (bulb-outs), speed
humps, and chicanes—each selected based on site-specific
conditions and community context.
In addition to traditional engineering solutions, we support
the City in exploring innovative and community-driven
strategies. This includes piloting demonstration projects
to test new safety features in a semi-permanent format,
allowing for public feedback and iterative design before
permanent implementation. We also advise on emerging
policy approaches, such as the creation of unarmed traffic
safety divisions or alternative response models for non-
moving violations, which aim to reduce reliance on police
interactions while maintaining roadway safety.
Where dangerous behaviors such as excessive speeding
or impaired driving are identified, we recommend a
combination of infrastructure redesign, speed management
strategies, and technology-based interventions. These
may include the use of speed governors, Intelligent Speed
Assistance (ISA), or alcohol ignition interlocks for repeat DUI
offenders. We also support the evaluation and potential
implementation of automated speed enforcement programs,
such as speed safety cameras, which have been shown to
reduce roadway fatalities and injuries by 20 to 37 percent,
according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 13
Through this multifaceted approach, our team ensures
that traffic safety concerns are addressed with thoughtful,
evidence-based solutions that reflect the City’s values and
enhance the quality of life for all road users.
Traffic Reviews and Reports
Our team brings a comprehensive and methodical approach
to conducting traffic reviews and preparing actionable
recommendations for a wide range of traffic safety and
operational concerns. We begin by establishing a robust
understanding of existing conditions through field
observations, traffic volume studies, and historical crash
data analysis. This baseline assessment allows us to identify
patterns and prioritize locations for further study based on
severity, frequency, and community input.
We coordinate closely with City staff to review any prior
analyses, plans, or data relevant to the location or issue at
hand. Based on this collaboration, we identify key corridors,
intersections, and neighborhoods for focused evaluation,
subject to approval by the City Engineer or designated
project manager.
Our team is fully qualified to prepare and oversee the
production of all types of traffic studies required by the City.
This includes warrant analyses for new traffic signals, all-way
stop controls, and left-turn phasing; engineering and traffic
surveys to support speed limit updates in accordance with
the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(CA-MUTCD); and accident history reviews to identify
contributing factors and recommend mitigation strategies.
We also specialize in the development of traffic calming plans
tailored to the unique needs of residential and mixed-use
areas. These plans may include the evaluation and design of
speed humps, curb extensions, chicanes, and other physical
or operational measures aimed at reducing vehicle speeds
and enhancing safety for all road users.
In addition to site-specific studies, our team is capable of
preparing broader intersection, corridor, and citywide traffic
studies to support long-range transportation planning
and capital improvement programming. These efforts may
include feasibility studies for route realignments, alternatives
analyses for intersection and interchange improvements, and
comprehensive transportation master plans that integrate
traffic circulation, parking, and multimodal access.
All of our recommendations are grounded in engineering
best practices, supported by data, and aligned with the
City’s policy objectives. We present our findings in clear,
well-organized reports that are suitable for internal review,
public presentation, and decision-making by City staff,
commissions, and elected officials.
Prepare Presentations
Our team is highly experienced in preparing and delivering
traffic-related presentations to Planning Commissions,
Traffic Commissions, and City Councils. We understand the
importance of clear, concise, and data-driven communication
when presenting technical findings and recommendations to
both decision-makers and the public.
As part of our standard process, we prepare comprehensive
staff reports that summarize our traffic analyses, findings, and
proposed recommendations. These reports are developed
using a combination of data collected by our team, City
records, and relevant planning documents. We ensure that
all materials are submitted to the City at least two weeks in
advance of scheduled meetings, allowing ample time for
internal review and inclusion in agenda packets.
Our project manager and technical staff are available to
attend public meetings to present our findings, respond
to questions from elected officials and commissioners,
and address public comments. We are skilled at translating
complex engineering concepts into accessible language,
ensuring that all stakeholders can understand the rationale
behind our recommendations.
In addition to formal presentations, our team is available
to meet with City staff across departments to provide
background information, clarify technical details, and
support interdepartmental coordination. We are committed
to being responsive and collaborative, offering timely
support to address community concerns and emerging
issues.
Our recommendations are always grounded in best
practices and tailored to the City’s unique context. Whether
addressing long-term transportation planning goals or short-
term operational concerns, we strive to provide practical,
implementable solutions that enhance safety, mobility, and
quality of life for all road users.

Approach
Effective execution of task order contracts requires clear
delineation of work, streamlined communication and
accountability of all stakeholders, as well as a collaborative
approach with both internal resources and subconsultants.
We are accustomed to serving our clients both on stand-
alone projects as a dedicated consultant, as well as through
staff augmentation roles, supporting our clients’ needs for
outside staffing.
Accordingly, Bowman’s approach to delivering a successful
task order within budget and on schedule begins with a clear
understanding of the goals, scope, deliverables, budget,
timeline, and involved stakeholders. On stand-alone projects,
and based on this initial information provided to our team,
we develop a project-specific management plan that
delineates organizational structure, staffing, deliverables,
and associated schedule, including progress and review
meetings. As part of our approach to the execution of
individual assignments within a multitask contract, it is
imperative to understand several factors that may influence
the project objectives, such as local site conditions,
project-specific details and performance requirements,
client-driven operational needs, community interface,
seasonal restrictions, safety requirements, timelines, or
legislatively mandated criteria. It is with this understanding
that for each task, we evaluate the critical objectives and
obstacles; implement best practices approach, cost effective
and practical solutions; and implement such through
engagement in all phases of the project.
Our project execution efforts are aimed at matching the right
skill set to the project task, thereby ensuring effective and
efficient use of resources. At Bowman, we instill a culture
of consistency and high-quality performance through the
preservation of personnel continuity on tasks through the
life of the contract and the persistent pursuit of excellence
through professional growth and innovation. Continuity of
proven performers and preservation of project institutional
knowledge yields quality performance and successful
delivery metrics.
While we are prepared to work only on portions of a project
(ex. a feasibility report or environmental assessment), our
approach to developing our work product follows a total-
project-life cycle mentality, as reflected in the workflow

Identification of Stakeholders
Identifying stakeholders is the first critical step in the
engagement process. Key internal stakeholders include City
departments, project managers, and technical teams, whose
expertise and insights shape project execution. External
stakeholders such as residents, business owners, regulatory
agencies, advocacy groups, and utility providers must also
be considered, as their perspectives and concerns can
significantly influence project outcomes. To systematically
manage engagement efforts, a stakeholder matrix is
developed to categorize stakeholders based on their
influence, interest, and required level of engagement.
Engagement Strategies
Engaging internal and external stakeholders effectively is
essential for project success. Our methodology for soliciting
and documenting stakeholder views ensures transparent
communication, inclusivity, and informed decision-making.
Engagement strategies vary depending on the type of
stakeholder. For internal stakeholders, structured meetings,
workshops, and surveys are conducted to gather input
from City staff, ensuring alignment with strategic goals.
External stakeholders are engaged through public meetings,
community forums, and online engagement sessions,
providing opportunities for residents and businesses
to voice their concerns and suggestions. Additionally,
regular coordination meetings and formal correspondence
with regulatory and partner agencies ensure open
communication, regulatory compliance, and alignment with
broader policy objectives. We have found that a proactive
approach is needed for engaging outside regulatory
agencies, such as Caltrans, AQMD, California Coastal
Commission (CCC), California State Water Resources Control
Board (SWRCB), California Environmental Protection Agency
(CalEPA), federal agencies, etc. Early engagement will ensure
that all permitting and regulatory documentation is initiated
early, avoiding potential delays.
Documentation and Analysis
To maintain a clear record of stakeholder input, meeting
summaries are meticulously documented, capturing key
1 Approach and Scope of Work
Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 16
concerns, recommendations, and action items. Stakeholder
feedback reports are developed, summarizing the input
received and demonstrating how it informs project decisions.
Interactive dashboards are also utilized to track stakeholder
concerns, responses, and project progress, ensuring
transparency and accessibility of information for all relevant
parties.
Integration of Feedback Into Decision-Making
Integrating stakeholder feedback into decision-making
is essential for ensuring project success and stakeholder
satisfaction. Insights gathered from stakeholders are
incorporated into project design and implementation
strategies, ensuring that identified concerns are adequately
addressed. Response strategies are developed to mitigate
any potential issues, aligning project plans with City
objectives. To maintain transparency, stakeholder feedback
summaries are published, showcasing how stakeholder
input has influenced project outcomes and reinforcing a
collaborative decision-making approach.
This systematic approach ensures that the views of
internal and external stakeholders are effectively solicited,
documented, and integrated into the project decision-
making process, fostering collaboration and enhancing
project success.
Quality Assurance
Depicted in the diagram below, the workflow of Bowman’s
QBD program will be implemented by the project QA
management team, composed of the principal, project
manager, and Bowman’s dedicated QA / QC Manager. They
will directly oversee a series of quality management reviews
of the project at each designated milestone, ensuring that all
the City’s needs and requirements are being met.
Specifically, QA will be led by the Masoud Sepahi, PE, LEED
GA. Masoud has over 35 years of experience in all types of
capital improvement projects, and he has delivered many
challenging projects for the LA Metro, City of Los Angeles,
and many other local cities. He will be utilizing Bowman’s
proven QA procedures, overseeing the work products from
all disciplines, including scope of work, verifying the basis of
design, constructability review, contents of the deliverables,
as well as qualifications of the staff preparing and reviewing
the work. This process will also confirm that QC reviewers are
independent of the team that produced the work products.
Masoud’s experience as the Director of Construction
Management Division for Metro and as City Engineer for the
City of Placentia provides him with a unique experience that
enables him to not only ensure a higher quality design but to
also lessen risk of project cost overruns, delays and excessive
change orders.
Quality Control
QC will be led by discipline leaders appointed by the project
manager, and it will involve a 100% review of all deliverable
products such as surveys, reports, plans, specifications,
calculations, cost estimates, and other work products.
Standardized checklists of work items are established at the
start of the assigned task or project to develop a consistent
metric of checking. QC includes review of basis of design,
including applicable codes being used and accuracy of
calculations, and basis of cost estimates; interdisciplinary
coordination and review of project interfaces to avoid
conflicts; coordination and consistency of plans, sections, and
details to ensure accuracy and clarity; coordination of plans
with specifications; and constructability to ensure efficiency
in construction and avoidance of conflicts. A key part of
quality review is ensuring that site conditions such as existing
utilities, topography, and structures are properly integrated
in the design and that jurisdictional permitting requirements
are incorporated to achieve plan review compliance. QC
reviews are performed at all design development milestones

of Rosemead.
Develop a Comprehensive Scope and Fee Proposal
Upon selection by the City for Bowman to start a project,
we will prepare a comprehensive and detailed proposal that
will identify each task and subtask needed for successful
delivery of the work. We will identify the type of engineering
discipline, along with other support services needed,
such as surveying, geotechnical engineering and outside
permitting needed for each project. We will then determine
the applicable budgets and a detailed project schedule that
allocates durations required to complete these activities.
Bowman will include activities such as dates and durations
for internal QA review within our team structure, in addition
to anticipated durations for review by the City of Rosemead
as well as applicable review agencies such as SCE, SoCalGas,
AQMD, SWRCB, CalEPA, Caltrans, USACE, CDFW, LACFCD, EPA,
FEMA, and other applicable stakeholders.
The preparation of a detailed and accurate proposal is a
very critical step in successful project delivery. The proposal
becomes a critical communication tool to establish a formal
delivery strategy for the project and communicate tasks and
activities throughout the full project schedule.
Review the Proposal and Obtain City Approval
Our goal is to engage swiftly with the City to discuss the
proposal contents and resolve any questions, requirements,
1 Approach and Scope of Work
Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 18
assumptions and budget limitations proposed in the
contract. Typically, we recommend that the proposal is
submitted in advance of a meeting and to discuss the
feedback from the City so that we can swiftly move into
the approved contract with full understanding of all the
expectations and obligations contained in our proposal.
Initiate Project Kickoff / Chartering Meeting
Communication and collaboration are the key elements for
every successful project. A well written and detailed proposal
is the first critical step in effectively communicating the work
to be performed under the contract. After confirming the
full scope of the project, the next step is to conduct a kickoff
meeting with the entire design team, the City staff and other
key stakeholders to initiate the work. The agenda for the
kickoff meeting will include the following:
• Introduction of key members from our team and the City
to identify roles and responsibilities
• Review the scope and milestones such as field activities
and deliverables in the schedule
• Identify stakeholders to be involved with the project
including the local community and regulatory agencies
• Discuss ongoing / planned community outreach programs
• Ensure that all pertinent documentation and record plans
that are available within the project area are obtained by
our design team
• Establish an ongoing action item list and risk register to be
maintained throughout the project
Hold Regular Progress Meetings
On a monthly basis, we will conduct progress meetings
either virtually or in person with the design team and the
City’s project team. In this meeting we will review the status
of the project, the progress made since the last meeting and
review upcoming planned activities. The meeting will also
include required action items and issues requiring resolution
to maintain the schedule. Bowman will maintain meeting
minutes and distribute to all participants subsequent to the
meeting.
Set Up a Collaborative Document Sharing Drive
Bowman proposes that all documents, deliverables, and
schedules be posted into a team site such as SharePoint,
OneDrive, or similar shared document system to enable full
access and collaboration by all involved project stakeholders.
This will allow all participants to have full visibility into the
activities during the entire duration of the project. During
construction, a formalized document control system will be
maintained by Bowman using a system acceptable to the
City. Bowman utilizes C-MIS document control program,
which is an online, sharing platform, allowing all participants
to view and post documents in real time.
Scheduling
As the prime consultant and team manager, we understand
that adherence to project schedules is critical. Projects may
be driven by regulatory compliance, needs for growth-
related capacity, or improvements to reliability and
redundancy. Regardless of the cause, Bowman will manage
and drive the project forward proactively by developing
a project plan that incorporates all required stakeholders
and design disciplines. We have proven experience in
designing and permitting various projects that involve as
few as one internal discipline to as many as eight external
subconsultants. More than anything, executing projects
within budget and on schedule requires a clear delineation
of work, streamlined communication, accountability of all
stakeholders, and a collaborative approach and mentality.
Bowman utilizes Critical Path Scheduling for successful
project timeline and budget monitoring. This planning
and execution tool is an important one in the process of
delivering a project in a timely and well-planned manner. It
requires a thorough understanding of the project and what
it takes to design and construct it. With this understanding,
emphasis can be placed on the elements of a project that
impact the delivery schedule.
Roadway Design
Bowman has a comprehensive understanding of roadway
and bridge design projects. Our expertise spans the
full project lifecycle, from conceptual planning to final
construction, with a focus on regulatory compliance,
efficiency, and stakeholder coordination. For roadway
construction, our team develops complete design packages
that include preliminary alignments, corridor studies, and
impact assessments to minimize disruption to residential
and commercial properties, as well as environmentally
sensitive areas. We are well-versed in the Local Assistance
Program (LAP) Manual, AASHTO, and Caltrans Road and
1 Approach and Scope of Work
Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 19
Bridge Standards, ensuring that all plans adhere to the
latest state and federal guidelines. Our roadway designs
integrate elements such as traffic signalization, pedestrian
accommodations, stormwater management (SWM), and
construction phasing to maintain traffic flow and accessibility
during implementation.
Bowman brings extensive expertise in municipal streetscape
projects through our deep understanding of roadway
GreenStreet infrastructure design, permitting, and utility
coordination. We also provide critical peer review services,
ensuring code compliance, constructability, and technical
validation to mitigate risks, prevent costly delays, and
enhance project success. Bowman streamlines the permitting
process, efficiently obtaining approvals for land disturbance,
civil engineering plans, and final construction certifications.
Our team is well-versed in working with regulatory agencies
and local jurisdictions, ensuring that projects adhere to all
local and state requirements. Our approach to designing
every project includes coordination with other ongoing city
initiatives and programs. In every design, we will explore
multi-modal transportation opportunities for enhancement
of the City’s various transportation modes such as bike lanes,
pedestrian paths, traffic signal improvements, street lighting,
way-finding signage, bus routes, school routes, emergency
response provisions, and other important City related events
and programs. We have gained valuable experience, through
managing these types of programs for our city clients, over
the past 30 years. Our team is also capable of assisting
the City with Smart City initiatives, using technology, data
and innovation to improve the City’s broadband fiber and
internet network.
Beyond design and permitting, Bowman actively engages
with the community, leading public outreach efforts through
workshops, design charrettes, and stakeholder meetings.
We also possess significant procurement and construction
administration experience. This comprehensive approach—
integrating design, permitting, utilities, public engagement,
and contract execution— positions Bowman to effectively
deliver efficient and successful streetscape projects.
Surveying
Bowman is well-versed in the preparation of public land
surveys, geodetic control surveys, and general surveying
and mapping activities, such as acquisition boundary
surveying, preparation of legal descriptions, topographic
surveying, field location of areas defining categories
of value or ownership / parcel mapping, mapping for
appraisal purposes, court testimony, surveyor reports,
and photogrammetric surveying. We use state-of-the-
art data collection instruments and the most current
photogrammetric and lidar surveys to produce fully digital
survey data that can be seamlessly integrated into a CADD
environment with maximum efficiency. Additionally, our
growing resource of dedicated GIS specialists routinely
supports mapping efforts in a wide array of municipal
projects, helping clients understand their own infrastructure,
predict maintenance costs, and track project progress in real-
time.

Beyond Land Surveying
Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 22
Geotechnical Engineering
PA & Associates brings extensive expertise in soil and water
testing for municipal roadway improvement projects,
combining proven geotechnical methodologies with decades
of hands-on experience. They employ a systematic approach
to site investigation, laboratory testing, and geotechnical
analysis, beginning with a detailed review of geologic data
to determine optimal boring locations, drilling depths,
and sampling methods, including Standard Penetration
Tests (SPT), undisturbed sampling, and rock coring. Field
exploration is conducted by experienced engineers and
geologists who log borings, record groundwater levels,
and document subsurface conditions. Laboratory testing
is then performed to evaluate soil properties, pavement
subgrade conditions, and stormwater infiltration rates.
Their geotechnical reports provide recommendations for
foundation design, floor slabs, retaining walls, pavement
subgrade preparation—including California Bearing Ratio
(CBR) values—and SWM features such as infiltration rates and
clay liners for embankments. PA has successfully applied this
methodology to municipal infrastructure projects, delivering
precise assessments that support safe and durable roadway
construction.
Pipeline Design Services
We anticipate that design projects may include the design
of new water mains, gravity sewer systems and force
mains. These pipelines may be along Caltrans roadways in
many cases. During the planning and design phase, these
areas will need attention to maintenance of traffic design
services, Caltrans coordination and permitting, connection
strategies for connecting new pipelines into active existing
lines and addressing constructability considerations. We
also anticipate that some lines will need to be planned and
designed on private property which will require coordination
with property owners, developing temporary and permanent
easements to facilitate construction and careful attention
to the limits of disturbance to ensure the impact on private
property is well controlled during construction.
Sewer Line Condition Evaluations
As part of the City’s ongoing asset management evaluations
of the sanitary sewer system, we anticipate that support will
be needed to document the age, condition, and deficiencies
within the existing sewer system. Field evaluation surveys to
accurately document the condition and scope of defects will
be noted by qualified field personnel and engineering staff
so that applicable repair work, rehabilitation or replacements
can be recommended. Potential risks of failure would also be
an important aspect to prioritize repairs so that risks can be
mitigated. The project team will utilize a full suite of field staff
and technologies including CCTV equipment, I / I and flow
metering equipment, smoke testing equipment and other
applicable staff and equipment to fully complete condition
assessment services.
Potential projects may also be to repair and rehabilitate
existing sanitary sewer manholes that our team, or the

administration including preparation of design documents, developing
the project schedule, processing, and obtaining California Transportation
Commission (CTC) allocation and construction authorization. Our team
also provided a project report and environmental analysis that summarized
the alternative analysis and engineering studies as well as conducting an
environmental review and coordinate with the city and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). We then provided bid support during the bidding and
award period to city staff by responding to requests for information (RFIs), preparation addendum and other technical
assistance.
Bowman | To Provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services | May 20, 2025 23
City’s team has identified as candidates for rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation solutions may include leak mitigation at
manhole joints and field applied interior coating systems to
provide protection from the effects of hydrogen sulfide.
Water Main Evaluations
Water main evaluations may be beneficial to determine
defects in the water distribution and transmission main
system. These evaluations can be performed by leak
detection personnel using above grade detection devices
and other devices such as in-pipe submersible sensors that
are now readily available in the industry. Prioritizations can
also be developed based on breakage history and field
information obtained by utility division operations staff.
Using this information, Bowman can determine the locations,
scope, and approach for repairing the system.
Storm Water Quality / Hydromodification
Our team brings a wide range of technical expertise to the
challenges of storm water quality and hydromodification
modeling for a wide range of projects, including small infill
developments, street retrofit projects, and large master
plan developments. With recent changes in storm water
standards, it is increasingly important that the detailed
storm water and hydromodification analysis be completed
in detail during the initial planning stages of the project to
ensure that the project will comply with the new stringent
requirements. Storm water quality requirements, and
particularly hydromodification requirements, have become a
major component in the approval process for all projects. Our
team has demonstrated significant cost savings for clients in
designing efficient BMP and hydromodification designs.
Bowman has the know-how to identify the principal
constraints on site design and selection of LID BMPs as well as
opportunities to reduce imperviousness and incorporate LID
Principles into designs for project sites and landscape plans.
For example, constraints might include impermeable soils,
high groundwater, groundwater pollution or contaminated
soils, steep slopes, geotechnical instability, high-intensity
land use, heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic, utility
locations or safety concerns. We have successfully identified
opportunities such as existing natural areas, low areas, oddly
configured or otherwise unbuildable parcels, easements
and landscape amenities including open space and buffers,
and differences in elevation for a number of cities, including
Baldwin Park, Bell Gardens, Calexico, Lynwood, Montebello
and South Gate, among others. We assess the conditions by
preparing a brief narrative for each of the site optimization
strategies to aid with our Low Impact Development (LID)
design or review and explain the decisions to others. We
know from experience the importance of putting thought
upfront to organize the various elements of a site to help in
significantly reducing potential impacts on the environment
in addition to reducing the number and size of Structural LID
BMPs that must be implemented.

The role of civil engineers in designing and ensuring compliance with ADA Accessible Guidelines (ADAAG) has increased with
the Americans with Disabilities Act. ADA requirements promote inclusivity in areas of employment, public accommodations,
public service, transportation and telecommunications. Bowman’s engineering team has the experience necessary to guide
ADA compliance practices on all kind sof transportation, development and redevelopment projects. We are current with
requirements and standards and have the in-house capabilities to address any need that arises within a project site.
All site designs must consider accessibility in their site layouts, and not doing so can result in higher costs down the road in
the form of lawsuits and site remediation. Bowman has been a part of 1000s of projects that have had at least one element of
ADA requirement needed, from design, renovation to incorporation into a non-compliant site for public and private clients.
We can help ensure adherance to Federal, State and local jurisdictions and their specific requirements for accessible design.

such as encroachment permits, wireless facility Right-Of-Way permits or any other items in the
Public Right-Of-Way, LCG will provide Civil Engineering review and provide written comments to
the City.
LCG Plan Check Procedures:
LCG is able to conduct plan review services for the City, whether through paper plan submissions
or electronic plan submission (PDF, Bluebeam, Tylor, Accela, etc.). We understand that each set
of plans submitted for approval and construction will undergo multiple plan checks until approved
by the City. LCG will provide complete, legible and detailed comments that will allow the applicant
to achieve approval with minimal reviews. LCG electronic plan check operations will be conducted
as follows:
First Submittal: Once the City assigned the electronic plan checking projects to LCG through
the City’s online file sharing/digital transfer(s) or email, then LCG’s Plan Check Engineer will
review the plans. Once the first review is complete, LCG will submit the electronic “redlined” plans
and the applicable 1st Plan Check List (comments) to the City through the City's online file
sharing/digital transfer(s) or email.
Second and Subsequent Submittals: Once LCG received the notification from the City that the
second electronic plan review has submitted from the applicant, then LCG’s Plan Check Engineer
will start the second plan review. Once the second review is complete, LCG will submit the
electronic “red lined” plans and the applicable 2nd review Plan Check List (comments) to the City
through the City's online file sharing/digital transfer(s) or email.
LCG’s Plan Check Engineer shall continue plan checking until approvable plans are generated
and a plan approval letter is submitted to the City by LCG’s Plan Check Engineer. For the paper
submission, LCG will use General Logistics Systems (GLS) for shipment or hand delivery to the
City.
Schedule Review Process and Deliverable for Plan Checking Projects:
Plan Check No. Response/Turnaround time
1st Plan Check 10 working business days
2nd Plan Check 5 working business days
Any Subsequent Plan Check 2 working business days
Duration of each task in the Scope of Work will vary but the above schedule demonstrates the
overall time of completion.

Method for Ensuring Costs are Controlled
With the independent tasks that assure quality, LCG is aware that this may come with increased
cost. Yet with the experienced and knowledgeable On-Call Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Plan
Check Engineer, Construction Manager, Inspector, Grant Administrator, Associate Engineer, and
Subconsultants that LCG has assigned to the City of Rosemead for this proposal, this itself should
minimize the cost of QA/QC. LCG staff are conscientious, responsible and knowledgeable
regarding local, state and federal engineering practices. With the City of Rosemead’s assigned
QA/QC, Daniel Garcia, to evaluate the projects based on the above bullet points and reviews.
Daniel is a qualified QA/QC with his experience in managing City Engineering operations
overseeing Construction Management and Civil Engineering oversight. His knowledge and
management skills will assure technical as well as overall QA/QC and provide the optimum cost-
effective quality.

Rosemead, CA 91770
RE: City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Basilyous:
Infrastructure Architects, Inc. (iARCH), is pleased to submit this Request for Proposal (RFP) for your
consideration of our services on future engineering tasks for the “on call” and “as needed” services.
Providing as-needed services to municipalities is our forte, as iARCH was founded on the premise of
assisting public agencies when our services are needed.
We are excited to provide our qualifications for Professional Engineering Services. We have established a
reputation of meeting the expectations of our clients by employing experienced staff members who not
only understand the various engineering disciplines but also have a solid foundation in the inner workings
of the municipal office and public works process. Many of our staff, as part of their professional
development, have consulted extensively on municipal government projects and/or are former public
employees. As a result, our company is known for providing responsive, quality recommendations and
solutions to a wide variety of engineering functions and projects. We believe that successful projects are
the result of a well-managed and motivated team, committed to being accountable and sharing ownership
in the product or service that the iARCH team collectively provides.
Due to our experience dealing with many complex programs and projects, we bring fresh, and new ideas
that provide solutions to the City’s need. Each project or program, by its nature, is different from all others
and it has its own unique challenges and solutions. Our staff rises to these occasions by working through
the process with innovation, experience and sound solution skill sets.
As an officer of the firm, I am authorized to negotiate, contractually bind, and extend the terms of our
Request for Proposal (RFP). This RFP will remain valid for a period of not less than 180 days from the date
of the submission. I am the principal of the firm, and I will serve as the principal-in-charge, main point of
contact, and will be responsible for the services contracted. I can be reached by phone at 213.880.4000,
or by email at rabassi@iarchsocal.com. We thank you for this opportunity to be considered to provide
service to the City of Rosemead.
Sincerely,
Raymond Abassi, MSCE, PE, TE, QSD/QSP

Section 1 - Approach and Scope of Work
The iARCH team members selected for this RFP have over 200 years of cumulative General City
Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management and Inspection
expertise.
Our success in providing responsive and meaningful services comes from approaching each project as
unique with an understanding of what our client needs. We work with each client in developing a program
of addressing requirements, collaborating with City staff and the entire team of engineers, and specialty
subconsultants to make a project successful. Once all information is gathered, we begin a thorough
investigation and prepare a checklist of critical elements.
iARCH works on all methods of engineering including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural for
building projects, civil for the right of way (ROW) and park projects, City engineering for map checks, plan
checking, grant administration and program management. Depending on the needs of the city, an
individual is assigned to the project requested. The individual will then be supervised by the Vice president
of Engineering to ensure that the tasks requested by the city are carried out in a timely fashion, within
budget and communicated appropriately with the city. The city will make the determination if the work is
to be performed on site (such as staffing augmentation, construction management and inspection) or if
the work is to be performed off site (plan checking, program management, grant writing and support).
iARCH is committed to meeting the needs of the city by having fully qualified and equipped individuals to
support any function of engineering needs. We are a “turnkey” solution that reduces the amount of time
by city staff to oversee the work product being produced. In addition, iARCH has a robust team of technical
experts in construction management and inspection for any type of project from ROW to vertical
construction. Our construction engineers utilize a virtual project manager system that the client has full
use and review of. The VPM software is a cloud-based system that has been developed specifically for
municipal projects to track and update daily, every element of your project(s). Our team works as an
extension of the City’s staff and is a representative supporting you, the client, at every step.
At iARCH, we believe that the fundamental framework for successful delivery of program and project
management remains the same; nonetheless, the approach to different projects needs to be dynamic and
innovative enough to address the unique characteristic of each project. As such, we do not believe in
prescribing generic solutions and products. Our approach to managing projects begins with gaining a
thorough understanding of the City’s needs, not by making assumptions but through careful study and
evaluation of pertinent documents and, more importantly, by carefully listening to the ideas and needs of
all stakeholders. Only then do our team members start to devise tailor-made strategies and procedures.
The Vice President of the iARCH team will be the point person for all engineering needs at no additional
cost. This could be meetings with the city council, city management team, community stakeholders etc.
The early involvement of our team is critical in understanding the project and providing critical feedback
based on the experience and technical skills of our staff. Our Vice President will routinely attend city
council meetings, commission meetings and maintain an active involvement in the community to ensure
proper acclimation of our team to understand the needs and culture of the community.

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Consultant will
maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Consultant will
use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage d oes
not meet the requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement or
endorse the existing coverage to do so. Consultant acknowledges that the insurance
coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of
coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to City.
Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:

symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event
to be less that $1,000,000 per accident. If Consultant owns no vehicles, this requiremen t

way on this project, Consultant shall provide evidence of personal auto liability cov erage
for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory

retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall
be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs payable in addition to pol icy
limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured's liability is
determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross -
liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another.
Transtech Engineers, Inc.
Page 14 of 17
Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Consultant, subconsultants
or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of
City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review
but in no event less than $1 Million per occurrence.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be
written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or
omissions of the consultant and "Covered Professional Services" as designated in the
policy must include work performed under this agreement. The policy limit shall be no
less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must "pay on behalf of'
the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer's duty to defen d the
Named Insured. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this
agreement.
Acceptable insurers: All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third-party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 (or
otherwise consistent with the insurer’s endorsement). Consultant also
agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the
right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation
rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds,
and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement
relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance
coverage.
Transtech Engineers, Inc.
Page 15 of 17
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has
not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any
exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor
or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall
not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of
contractual liability or reduction of discovery period} that may affect City's
protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an
additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall
be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the
event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the
event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage
is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it
deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to
and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at
City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City
of any cancellation of coverage. A ten (10) day notice to City shall apply to
nonpayment of premiums. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the
insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that
any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the
requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage (except Professional Liability and Workers’ Compensation)
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontribut ing basis in relation to any other
insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Transtech Engineers, Inc.
Page 16 of 17
Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and
assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in
conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that
upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in
the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further
agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect,
Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance
of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its
obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible
or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be
declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the
Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or
self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to
City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking
any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards
performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does
it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the
agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this
obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that
effect.
Transtech Engineers, Inc.
Page 17 of 17
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced
with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such
coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A
coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is
acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured
endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing
or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration
of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with
respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other
requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes
of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any
party or insured to be limiting or all inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from
any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here
to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision
conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge
City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by
this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City.
It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of
complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City
for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
