• 1-10/Rosemead Boulevard Freeway Westbound Ramp Improvements
• 1-10/Walnut Grove Freeway Westbound Ramp Improvements
• Adaptive Traffic/Traffic Responsive Control Project(Garvey,Valley, San Gabriel,Walnut Grove, and Rosemead)

adjacent local agencies that may be impacted by the proposed improvements or may have received funding
from METRO in the adjacent areas, METRO,County,Caltrans,and any other agencies and organizations that
have jurisdictional control, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders as necessary.
• Prepare necessary request for proposals,notice inviting bids,agreements,and assist in the selection of various
consultants. Services that will be provided by various consultants may include project design, environmental
services, right-of-way acquisition, engineering services,geotechnical engineering services,traffic engineering
services, surveying, and various other services to be determined as part of the project development as
necessary.
It is understood that these services will be provided under the direction of the Director of Public Works on an as-needed basis.
Project Management
The challenges in delivering Projects within the City's schedule and budget are
ever increasing with diminishing resources within the City. We believe Project `'
Management and Program Management starts with the complete understanding
of the City's goals and the constraints of the project's funding sources and !
schedules. For these reasons,it is imperative that a strong project manager have Jr ti
a full understanding of all aspects of each project and the potential hurdles that wJ
11
may be encountered. Our philosophy is to assign each project to a highly skilled
and experienced project manager that will remain on each assignment from the
beginning to its final completion. This means complete ownership of all project
aspects including project development,funding/budgeting,oversite of consultants,
coordination with staff, project delivery,and final closeout.This approach ensures
the institutional knowledge and continues the momentum throughout the project
by providing a consistent project manager.
Our team is successful in delivering Capital Improvement Projects by fostering an environment of teamwork,collaboration,and
cooperation with all stakeholders in a project. We have discovered that treating each of the participants in the project,from City
staff through design team and ultimately the construction contractor, as part of the project team, creates an atmosphere of
cooperation in obtaining a common goal. That goal is the successful completion of a project within budget and schedule with
minimal claims. Too many times we have witnessed the failure of the project due to the"us against them"attitude between the
contracting agency and the successful bidders on a project. We have been able to avoid this through partnering at the project
beginning.
CAV Consulting fully understands what is required for Project Management services since our staff has served a number of
municipalities in Southern California in a similar capacity.We provide a seamless integration of municipal service professionals
in support of public agencies. With increasing demands for project delivery, along with decreasing budgets and resources,
Cities are faced with the challenge of providing capable and experienced individuals to manage and coordinate their projects
Page 15
CAV Consulting
and to ensure proper completion according to the local, state and federal policies and procedures. Full communication with all
parties involved in each project is essential,as well as complete and accurate documentation. An understanding of the existing
policies and procedures and positive working relationships with the key personnel is also essential for successful project delivery
within schedule and budget.
We propose to perform the following:
Develop project descriptions and scopes to determine budgets and delivery schedules
✓ Assist in the identification and procurement of necessary regulatory permits
✓ Prepare necessary internal communications to provide the City with regular status updates regarding project
schedule, budgets,potential issues, and other items of interest or concern
✓ If requested,prepare City Council staff reports, technical memoranda, or issue papers on projects
✓ Conduct project outreach to external stakeholders as directed by the City
✓ Manage the design team during the preparation of final plans, specification, and estimates
✓ Manage project bidding and oversee construction support and construction management/inspection
• If required, ensure the process is performed in adherence to Federal, State, and Local Agenies(i.e. FHWA/FTA,
Caltrans, City)guidelines
✓ Manage and coordinate with the Right-of-Way Team which handles rights-of-way negotiation and acquisition
assistance
We take the following approach to all projects:
Review of the Original Project Scope,Budget,and Schedule:Many CIP projects do not begin until months,sometimes
years, after they are originally developed. Items such as the original project cost estimates, municipal regulations and
standards, and physical changes to the project site may have occurred prior to advertising the project for bid. We have
even experienced times when utilities may not have been coordinated and soft-cost may not have been included in the
project budget, requiring updates to the project scope, budget and schedule. CAV Consulting begins each project by
reviewing the existing budget, schedule and goals of the City to minimize impacts to the project that may occur if the
former listed issues are not addressed and resolved. We then work with the City to identify additional funding sources if
necessary and address any of the project parameters that may have changed from the project inception. We will work
with the City as directed to develop an outreach plan to ensure that the project addresses the community sensitivities,values,and
needs.
Request for Proposals(RFPs)for Professional Services: We will provide support services to the City during the Project
Development and Design Process including the following:
✓ Draft RFPs for advertisement by the City
✓ Work with the City to Develop Criteria for Rating the Proposals
✓ Coordinate with the City to Form a Proposal Review and Rating Panel
✓ Coordinate the Review of the Submitted Proposals with the Selected Panel
✓ Coordinate and Conduct Interviews with the Top Ranked Proposers(if needed)
✓ Draft City Council Report(s)for Professional Contract(s)Award
Bidding and Construction Support: We will provide support services to the City during the bidding process including the
following:
✓ Coordinate with the Design Consultant to Review and prepare responses to RFI's
✓ Coordinate the Review of Contractor submittals and shop drawings for compatibility with design
✓ Coordinate the Bid Opening with the City and Bidders
✓ Review the Submitted Bids to determine the Low Responsible Bidder
✓ Check the Contractor's Credentials, Licenses, and References
✓ Draft a City Council Report for Project Award
✓ Work with the Construction Manager to Conduct the Preconstruction Conference

CAV Consulting
During construction,we will provide supplemental support to the City including:
✓ Attend weekly Construction Team meetings as the City Representative
✓ Review and provide recommendations of change order proposals as negotiated by the Construction Manager
✓ Performing final review and assisting with the preparation of punch list for work deficiencies
✓ Draft the City Council Staff Report to approve the Final Adjusting Change Order,Authorize the Filing of the
Notice of Completion and Release of the Remaining Retention
✓ Assure the completion of the record drawings by the Design Consultant based upon the redlined set of as-built
plans provided by the Contractor
Communication with City:Complete communication with the City is critical to minimize surprises and deliver a project
successfully within budget and schedule. We will continually bring urgent project issues to the City, along with
recommended solutions.We also continually communicate with the Project team and the City as follows:
✓ Weekly meetings with the City to review staff report agendas, CIP procedural or program issues
✓ Weekly project status meetings with the Project Management staff to review project status
✓ Regular meetings of Project Development Teams on key capital projects
✓ Discuss and resolve conflicts in the field with the City and the Project Team
Managing Project Budget and Schedule:Our Project Managers carefully monitor project budgets and schedules weekly
throughout the project. We closely track the work of all members of the project team to ensure budgets and schedules
are adhered to.The Contractor is directed to provide the schedule of work indicating the Project Critical Path items. After
the schedule is secured, the Project Manager and Construction Manager review the schedule to determine its viability
and coordinate issues that might arise that may be unknown to the Contractor. After approval of the schedule, and
approval by the City, the Notice to Proceed will be issued to the Contractor. Our Project Manager monitors the team
members to ensure the work is done within the scope of services and the Project remains within the approved budget and
schedule.

This team is well versed in Traditional Caltrans Utility Coordination Process
coordination with process. Some of
the key elements we have utilized to help minimize the back-end risk with unforeseen relocations or liability of costs are
to provide an early jump on the following:
Positive Location—Ensuring the design consultant supplies the City with ample utility potholes, electromagnetic
detection, GPR, and topographic survey to adequately depict the location of all utilities.
✓ Advance the Liability Determination—Typical coordination relies on the Utility Owners to determine prior rights after the
relocation claim letters are sent to the owner. This is way too late as the design is often close to 65% and doesn't allow
flexibility to change the design where the City might own costly relocation. This team will work with the City's design
and real estate consultant during initial mobilization phases to pull record maps, as-builts, and title reports to analyze
what facilities are in by franchise agreements, state encroachment permits, or may have prior rights.

v Utility Owner Focus Meetings—Approaching the Utility Owners in pre-design meetings to discuss their facilities and the
overall project to better understand the complexities of their relocation and identify tentative relocation options. As the
design progresses, conducting either field walks or routine focus meetings with each of the Utility Owners with conflicts
to ensure their relocation plans are compliant with the project design.
✓ Utility Agreements— Working with the City and the Utility Owners just after relocation claim letters and notices are sent
to develop utility agreements. This team will work with the City legal staff to either adopt the Caltrans templates where
appropriate or develop City templates outside of Caltrans Right of Way. These usually take 6 plus months from
initiation to full execution due to two sets of legal entities reviewing the document and generally requiring City Council
approval. Initiating these efforts is critical as they need full execution prior to achieving Caltrans R/W Certification and
often impact the development of the relocation plans.
Based on our initial research and review of the Project Environmental Document, SCE has potential conflicts to their
overhead transmission lines crossing Interstate 10 at the Rosemead Boulevard interchange. Between both interchange
projects, twelve (12) AT&T telecommunications poles and fifteen (15) overhead electric distribution/transmission poles
will be impacted by the project. Prior to the development of design or acquisition services RFPs,this team will identify all
ownership through Underground Services Alert, verify conflicts identified to date, and meet with utility owners as
necessary to adequately scope utility coordination requirements. Additionally,we will continue coordination and research
efforts through construction to ensure utility relocations are compatible with the project improvements and goals.
Right of Way Acquisition Support: The Project Environmental Document identified up to thirty (30) private property
acquisitions associated with the two interchange projects, including one full acquisition. Additionally, many of these are
commercial retail/mall centers at the Rosemead Boulevard interchange which have high potential for severances
damages and potential loss of business good will. This team has had great success conducting the following approach
to managing projects with complex acquisition.
1) Prepare Property Impact Statements to establish purpose, need, and overall impacts then conduct Right of Way
Focus Meetings to review the following elements and craft an acquisition strategy for each property:
a. Lease/business operational impacts that could lead to full acquisition/relocation.
b. Potential for unforeseen significant loss of business goodwill claims.
c. City land use/zoning/setback conflicts/fire code required access conflicts.
d. Impacted parcels not included within the Area of Potential Effect (A.P.E.)/Project Area Limits requiring
NEPA/CEQA re-validation.
e. Treatment Control BMP requirements for potential additional fee acquisition.
f. Sound wall requirements, including temporary construction access and long-term maintenance access for
potential footing/maintenance easements.
g. ADA compliancy issues for width and obstructions at sidewalks and driveways for potential additional fee
acquisition.
h. Sign/Light/Signal Pole foundation and equipment conflicts for potential additional fee acquisition/easements.
i. Side slope requirements per local agency/Caltrans requirements.
j. Additional landscape/slope repair areas adjacent to improvements.
k. Temporary work areas and construction easements for accessibility and constructability needs, including areas
where restricting usage of the temporary easements could have substantial acquisition cost savings.
I. Utility service relocation/clearance issues for potential easements.
m. Potential areas for replacement rights for known utility conflicts.
n. Identified impacts that cannot be acquired under the threat of eminent domain.
2)Strategize with project team in identifying opportunities to optimize the right of way footprint that will result in avoiding
and/or minimizing impacts along the corridor.
3) Identification of post construction and potential cost to cure mitigation solutions, including:
a. Driveway and access vertical and horizontal replacement existing/proposed sections
b. Loss of parking replacement
c. Horizontal/vertical layout alternatives to avoid long lead/high-cost parcels
d. Building/structural modification opportunities to avoid full acquisition/relocation

4) Development of a Risk Management Matrix illustrating suggested alternative approaches/risk management items per
parcel and distribution to the Project Team.
Providing a "surgical" approach yet very detailed and focused plan eliminates the surprises that often create delays or
unforeseen costs. Carrying the focus meetings with the acquisition consultant,their appraisal team,and the design team
through the appraisal process is also critical to ensure changes are captured and included and the acquisition team has
a clear understanding of the rights necessary to acquire for the project. This strategy was recently utilized on the McKinley
Grade Separation Project for the City of Corona involving 14 complex commercial retail properties similar to this project.
City anticipated original acquisition budgets of approximately$25 million and through a series of value engineering efforts
and right of way workshops,the"Surgical Approach" in our planning saved over$5 million in acquisition costs to the City
of Corona.
Keep the same Project Manager Assigned to a Project from "Cradle to Grave":This approach ensures institutional
knowledge and consistency from the project development through construction completion and closeout.
Other key steps in the process include:
v Coordinate project advertisement in local media
f Provide documents and plans to bidders
v Keep track of all of those who have purchased or shown interest in the project
Send out any and all addenda/correspondence as necessary.
4 . Provide pre-bid meeting services
4 v Coordinate the bid opening with the client(date, time and place)
4 v Create a staff report and resolution awarding the project to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder
t v Coordinate with contractor to sign contract
Coordinate with client to prepare fully executed contracts
4 .7 Submit a Notice to Proceed to the Contractor
Grant Application/Funding Assistance:This team has supported local agencies throughout California secure additional
4 funding through numerous types of grants and funding programs. Mark Thomas assisted local agencies in securing over
$150 million in state and federal funding programs in 2020. Based on an initial review of the two interchanges improvement
projects,additional funding may be secured through the following programs:
Local Partnership Program: LPP provides $200 million in SB 1 funding annually to local and regional transportation
4 agencies that have passed sales tax measures, developer fees, or other imposed transportation fees. The program is
very flexible and can be used to fund roadway and highway improvements, active transportation facilities, transit
improvements, and sound walls. Roadway maintenance improvement projects need to provide 15 years of useful life. A
4 Cal B/C model is required for each submittal. The program requires a 50% match of requested funding from the local
4 agency, approved environmental document prior to requesting the allocation of requested funds, and the project to
demonstrate a net neutral or better for Vehicle Miles Traveled(VMT)in the after condition. Most recently, Mark Thomas
4 secured the following LPP funding through the completive Cycle 2:
4 V City of Sacramento—I Street Bridge:$15 million
✓ City of Eastvale—Limonite Gap Closure Project:$9.5 million
Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission—Highway 1 Improvements:$14 million
If any of the projects can multimodal incorporate bike lane improvements along South Walnut Grove Avenue consistent
4 with the City's General Plan or improvements that could enhance or improve the LACMTA Route 266 bus line would
greatly enhance the potential to secure LPP funding.
1 Active Transportation Program: ATP provides funding bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The program is a mix of
federal and state funds, including SB 1. There is no requirement for matching funds, but it is encouraged. 25%of funds
4 must go to disadvantaged communities. There are two opportunities for ATP funding; one at the State level and one
• through the Metropolitan Planning Organizations(i.e. LACMTA).Given the proximity to the Savannah Elementary School
and anticipated bike lanes along South Walnut Grove Avenue per the City's general plan,the City may be eligible for ATP
funding for the next Cycle(Cycle 6 due in 2022). Most recently, Mark Thomas is awaiting initial results from the Cycle 5
ATP application to support the County of Orange for the OC Loop—Segments 0, P,&Q.
