SECTION 4: METHODOLOGY/ TYPICAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
OUTSTANDING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
KOA has a complete Construction Management and Inspection division of dedicated professionals, who provide only
Construction Management and Inspection services, and have been doing so for 30 years. We have developed
procedures and techniques to address virtually every issue that is encountered in the managing of construction
contracts and contractors. A major facet of our management focus is concentrated on the schedule, which we regard as
a powerful tool that is used to control progress as well as the budget. We have an exceptional track record for bringing
in projects within budgets and on time with minimal disruption to the City.
EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP
As stated, the program will be managed by Mr. Chuck Stephan, PE, LEED AP. Mr. Stephan has successfully managed
contracts for Public Agencies for the past 28 years. The strongest evidence of our success is our repeat business
received from the public agencies year after year. All of the staff proposed have worked for KOA for a considerable
length of time and will be made available to the City as the need arises.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of EI Segundo is seeking a consultant to provide On -Call Construction Inspection services for a variety of
projects. These projects may include road and street rehab and beautification, grinding, crack filling, localized dig -
outs, ARHM/TRMAC/ Conventional A/C, leveling course, base material placement, concrete removal and replacement
(alley approaches, curb ramps, drive aprons, sidewalk, curb and gutter), loop detector placement, tree removal, utility
adjustments, landscaping and possibly traffic signal placement.
Funding may include some or all of local, state, federal, and various grant sources. KOA is experienced and proficient
in all these funding sources and services. In addition to Construction Inspection services, KOA is able to provide
Construction Management and Engineering support to the City as on-call or as staff support.
The selected consultant will provide Professional Services in the fields of Construction Inspection on a flexible
schedule to suit the City's needs. It is fully understood that these services may be for a single or multiple projects and
could be on a full or part-time basis.
PREFERRED STAFF EXPERIENCE
KOA's overall objective is to provide scheduling expertise, excellent documentation and superior knowledge of the
contract documents to oversee the contractor and enable us to effectively manage claims and all other areas of the
contract including public relations, quality, safety, RFIs and submittals.
To this end, note that all of the Construction Managers proposed are also schedulers, with years of scheduling
experience using mainstream scheduling software as utilized by the public works contracting industry. This includes
Primavera and Microsoft Project®, and others. Ram Mohseni will serve as our scheduling specialist. He is able to not
only provide schedules, but will provide critical schedule assessment and forensic analysis as well.
PROJECT APPROACH
The KOA team firmly believes that the key to a successful project is performing each task with a realistic and clear
understanding of what the real intent of the project is and constructing the final product with a "win-win" attitude. KOA
owes the successful completion of our projects to our ability to find and maintain excellent professional staff and to our
dedication to organization, documentation, and proactive construction management. Our keen understanding of and
experience with the public process and public construction contract administration results in a smoother project
experience. Our team's experience and proactive approach enable KOA to stay ahead of the contractor for a successful
project completion, on time and within budget.
KOA construction managers and inspectors have experience with bridges, highways, heavy -civil projects, roadways,
utilities, transportation, rail, fire stations, parks, buildings, wharf and port facilities, federally funded projects, and other
types. Our inspectors bring many years of accrued skills in dealing with contractors and keeping projects on track.
34
KOA provides all parties with updated information and is sensitive to the special needs of the community
KOA believes that a successful project is built by fostering good relationships and trust between the design team,
client agencies and the contractor. We attempt to understand the viewpoints of the involved agencies and the
viewpoints of the designers, contractors, the general public and other affected project stakeholders, to better deal
with the nuances surrounding the project. The KOA team understands these varying viewpoints because we have
worked with and/or managed design consultants, contractors and several public agencies.
KOA's approach starts with the end in mind. The end being a quality project delivered on time and within budget.
The process begins with the development of the main project elements: master project schedule, master project
budget and the comprehensive scope of work. These elements are not developed in a vacuum, but rather with all
project stakeholders to ensure that no surprises are encountered during the project. This provides a sense of order
among the stakeholders and team such that all are focused on the same goals.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Depending on the project needs and direction from the City, the project could include some or all of the specific tasks
listed below. In summary, KOA can:
o Attend all project -related meetings.
o Review plans, specifications, submittals, requests for information (RFI), and other construction -related
documents.
o Review and evaluate proposed change orders made by the Contractor. Provide City staff with a recommendation
on the proposed change order.
o Review shop drawings and submittals from Contractor.
o Photograph project prior, during, and after construction.
o Provide field inspections of work in progress to ensure compliance with plans and specifications.
o Prepare and distribute written daily inspection reports via email and/or hardcopy. At a minimum, daily
inspections shall include site conditions, weather conditions, staff on site, quantity of work performed, and any
major incidents or safety violations.
o Perform and review soil compaction testing, asphalt concrete testing, and concrete slump and strength testing.
o Coordinate inspections with other agencies (i.e. utility companies, other municipalities, etc.) as necessary.
o Monitor compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and requirements.
Monitor compliance with all other local, state, and federal laws and regulations. KOA Staff have QSP and QSD
certifications for NPDES implementation and compliance.
o Coordinate special testing and inspection work as required.
o Report instances of apparent non-compliance with Contract plans and specifications to City staff.
o Assist in reviewing progress payments made to the Contractor for work performed. Provide complete
measurements and calculations to administer progress payments.
o Create redlines on as -built drawings for any field changes for work inspected upon project completion.
o Upon project completion, conduct a final inspection and project close-out. Ensure all punch list items have been
addressed.
PROJECT CONTROLS/RELEVANT STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The services for construction inspection and contract administration shall implement project controls in accordance
with the standards and specifications: Standard Plans; Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices; The Greenbook
Standard Specifications and Standard Plans for Public Works Construction; The project plans and special provisions;
Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications; and the Caltrans Local Procedures Manual.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW OF BID DOCUMENTS
When requested by the City, a constructability review will be conducted for the project. A "punchlist" of comments and
recommendations will be submitted to the City for consideration and implementation with the project engineer. In the
cases where the design is 100% complete, the reviews will be undertaken and recommendations will be made to
address the deficiencies/changes in the form of an addendum. KOA will review the plans for bidability and proper
Agreement No. 5812
placement of critical requirements within the order and precedence of documents. KOA will also recommend key
contract provisions to provide the necessary controls and remedies for the City to maintain a proactive approach on the
project, as noted in the approach section above.
SAFETY
KOA always considers safety the most important issue on any construction project. KOA will recommend key safety
provisions to require the contractor to have competent safety personnel and site specific safety programs
employed on the projects at all times. KOA will monitor the contractor's operations for compliance with the project
safety requirements.
SUBMITTALS & SHOP DRAWINGS
KOA will review submittals and shop drawings for completeness and general conformance with the contract
documents. KOA will recommend key contractual requirements for the contractor to clearly indicate submittal
processing requirements in the project schedule. Submittal comments will be monitored to identify potential impacts
to quality, cost or schedule, with recommended alternatives and/or solutions. All shop drawings, samples and other
submittals received from the contractor will be logged and routed to the City and the architect. Responses will be
logged and transmitted to the contractor. The submittal approval process will be tracked throughout the project to
ensure timely response in order to avoid contractor claims for delay.
MATERIALS & WORKMANSHIP
KOA will recommend the approval of materials and workmanship that meet the contract requirements, in coordination
with the authority of the consulting engineer, architect, fire inspector, deputy inspector, or other authorized
representative/regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
RFIs
Upon receipt, KOA will log, distribute and respond to each Request for Information (RFI) as required. It is anticipated
that most will be handled upon receipt. However, in the event that the design engineer or City staff are required to
answer questions, the construction manager will coordinate a timely resolution. KOA will identify potential impacts to
cost or time that may result due to issues identified in RFIs, with recommended alternatives or solutions to mitigate the
potential impacts. An up to date RFI log will be maintained for the duration of the project.
SCHEDULE REVIEW
KOA is very familiar with the entire main stream scheduling software utilized by the public works contracting industry,
including, but not limited to Primavera and Microsoft Project& KOA will review the baseline construction schedule,
including activity sequences and duration, schedule of submittals and schedule of delivery for products with long lead-
times.
The KOA team can evaluate the baseline project schedule for the following:
o Consistency with the contract schedule;
o Accurate start dates, completion dates, other dates detailed in the contract;
o Any impacts of weather and change orders;
o Sufficient detail, including submittal process and procurement requirements, especially for long lead items;
o Sequence of construction and correct schedule logic; and
o Identification of the critical path and project float.
The schedule will not be approved as the baseline until all discrepancies are resolved.
SWPPP
KOA will enforce all provisions of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). At a minimum SWPPP
requirements will be monitored and a specific SWPPP Checklist will be compiled. Any deficiencies noted will be
addressed with the contractor for immediate remedy. Upon a weather report of 40% (or higher) expectancy of rain, a
site walk will be conducted to ensure that SWPPP measures are in place and well maintained.

KO*
TESTING
KOA will coordinate laboratory, jobsite, and offsite testing of construction materials and required observations per
construction documents, construction codes, and jurisdictional agencies. KOA shall provide deputy inspection as
required. KOA will implement established procedures for testing per the construction documents. We will monitor
testing services, track documentation and record testing results in weekly construction progress meetings. When
necessary, KOA will require and track that corrective measures are implemented and re -inspected for acceptable
completion.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
KOA has developed Construction Management procedures that are used as a baseline for capital improvement
construction projects. Since every project is unique, we will tailor our procedures to our clients' needs for each project.
Procedures for these projects will include a full review of the plans and specifications, and funding source
requirements, to develop complete checklists of requirements for construction operations, documentation, and
reimbursement requests.
Caltrans administered projects require adoption and implementation of a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) by the City.
We will coordinate the designated Acceptance Testing (AT) firm, and Independent Assurance Program (IAP) firm for
material testing in accordance with the City's Quality Assurance Program. KOA will coordinate QA/QC activities on a
daily basis and review activities as they happen, to make sure that QA/QC procedures are followed and deficiencies
are resolved in a timely and efficient manner. The CM will maintain a chronological log of all records. Rejected work
will be thoroughly documented, photographed, and tracked until repaired or replaced to the satisfaction of the City.
The primary objective of KOA's quality control program is to ensure that every aspect of the work is constructed in
accordance with the contract documents and approved submittals, in compliance with the applicable code and to
industry standards. In addition, that it is performed consistent with the owner's expectation. Regular quality control
checks include:
o Obtaining subcontractor input regarding materials, means and methods;
o Management of contract documents to assure that only the most current documents are used;
o Management of submittals and approvals to ensure complete contract compliance;
o Management of samples and all associated approvals to ensure contract compliance;
o Verification of site conditions to ensure that all preparatory work required to be performed is complete and
that the work areas are safe;
o Monitoring of all contract work -in -progress to ensure that quality standards are consistent with
contract documents, which includes testing and deputy inspection;
o Documentation of quality procedures, checklists, test and inspections;
o Maintain detailed written and photographic records to protect the City against spurious claims.
KOA's quality control plan is written for every aspect of construction management and design. The issues addressed
include: Adherence to budget; generating a forecast of all potential expenses to maximize time for financial decisions;
Agreement No. 5812
monitoring and addressing schedule issues; safety monitoring; quality monitoring; progress reporting; documentation
control; construction management budget; and morale check of the team. KOA's main objectives are to construct a
project that meets or beats the project requirements with the most economical cost and with minimal frustration for
the City. We also strive to fully closeout projects quickly and efficiently with no remaining issues to resolve.
DOCUMENTATION INTERPRETATION & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
KOA will perform the coordination and expediting between the contractor, design team and City Staff to clarify
interpretations of the construction documents. Timely, firm and fair determinations will be processed to minimize
project cost and time impacts. Complete and current project files shall be kept current and shall be available to the
City at all times. The files will consist of the contract, correspondence related to the contract, proposal requests,
clarifications, permits, logs, reports, RFI's, field orders, change orders, claims inspection reports, test reports, and so
forth. KOA has a detailed file indexing system for all project hard files, and a contract administration database
customized for public works agency construction management for the management of electronic data and
documents. KOA has developed customized forms, reports database structure, and work breakdown structure, well
suited for all applications. We will adapt our system to the specific needs of the project, to monitor, track and control
the project. This detailed tracking system will enable us to provide an accurate assessment of the progress to the City
with recommendations to maintain or improve adherence to the approved project schedule.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
During the progress of construction, KOA will compare the contractor's monthly schedule updates to the baseline
schedule and any approved time extensions, note any shortcomings and monitor and track corrections by the
Contractor to keep the Project Schedule on track. KOA will closely monitor the contractor's work. The contractor will be
required to submit a four-week look -ahead schedule at the weekly meetings which will be updated weekly and
presented at the weekly construction progress meetings. This is a very effective tool in helping to coordinate the
construction operation, particularly regarding interface operations with the City's activities. This tool will keep the
entire team looking one-month ahead of the project and will facilitate proactive handling of project activities and
issues. If necessary, KOA will negotiate time extensions due to change orders or other delays.
PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL/WEEK AT A GLANCE REPORTS (WAG)
KOA will prepare and maintain an electronic photo journal documenting the construction progress. Photos shall be
taken before construction begins, during construction and upon completion of the project. KOA will prepare weekly
progress photo reports delineating the progress made that week and noting any major decisions and milestones
achieved.
DAILY CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION REPORTS
KOA will compile daily observation reports documenting the contractor's workforce, material and equipment used,
a summary of construction activities, field problems, disputes or claims, resolutions of issues and directions given
to the contractor. Completed daily reports will be transmitted to the City on a weekly basis. Reports will meet all
federal requirements, as -needed.
WEEKLY STATEMENT OF WORKING DAYS
KOA will prepare a weekly statement of working days documenting the construction progress, time of completion,
delays and time extensions, and submit to contractor and the City on a weekly basis. The weekly statement of working
days is typically discussed and agreed upon at each progress meeting and transmitted as an attachment to the minutes.
WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS
Weekly progress meetings will be mandatory for the Contractor and staff, and optional or on an as needed basis for
the City and design team staff. All parties are invited to attend in person or via remote. Meeting minutes will be
distributed to all team members. Meeting discussions will focus on: Contractor's detailed Four -Week look -ahead
schedule, Status of actual overall progress compared to the baseline schedule, Progress and major decisions during
the last week, Discussion of important issues or issues which require detailed discussion or review of plans and
specifications, Update of unresolved items from previous meetings, and the Status of submittals, RFI's and change
orders.

Agreeme K*r 4oA
MONTHLY REPORTS
KOA will prepare a monthly, detailed project status report to the City. It shall include a summarized report of
construction activities; construction observation reports; progress descriptions with photos; description of equipment
used; comparison of actual vs. planned progress; contractor's latest detailed four-week look -ahead schedule, as
reviewed by KOA; identification and discussion of current issues, pending change orders, actions, and resolutions;
discussion of new project goals; comparison of actual vs. planned budget expenditures; Master Trend Log of potential
and approved changes; report of progress payments and invoices; Labor Compliance Reports for contractor and
subcontractor employees (if required); QA/QC of testing and regulatory compliance issues; analysis of change order
impacts or potential problems on schedule and budget.
COORDINATION WITH THE CITY
COORDINATION WITH RESIDENTS & PROPERTY
KOA will work with adjacent property owners' and residents' to resolve their concerns, review potential accessibility
issues, and ensure installation of traffic control devices per approved traffic control plans.
UTILITY COORDINATION
KOA will ensure utility coordination throughout the construction phase of the project is performed by the general
contractor.
PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
KOA's proactive approach serves to anticipate and expeditiously resolve field problems. Our Team is well trained in
problem solving. All issues are processed with a sense of urgency and presented to the City with suggested
alternatives, cost and schedule impacts and recommended solutions. KOA will quickly implement the alternative,
which suits the best interests of the project and the City.
REVIEW CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC CONTROL
KOA will review construction traffic control to ensure the optimum situation with regard to: Protection of the traveling
public during the construction operation; arrange the traffic control so that there is minimal disruption to traffic and
access to local business operations; provide safe access for pedestrians and vehicles during the construction
operation; and provide for optimal traffic control phasing to efficiently facilitate the completion of the construction
operation.
MONUMENTATION
KOA will verify removal, recordation notes, and replacement of all monumentation.
PLANS, SPECS & AS-BUILTS
KOA will periodically review the contractor's as -built updates on the approved job plan, identify missing items and
requiring the Contractor to keep as -built records up to date. KOA's inspectors will keep their own set of as -built plans
which will note the location of subsurface utilities encountered and/or installed, identify where any design or field
changes are required (utilizing the corresponding RFI/change order numbers) and note the location of critical building
components that are covered by finish work. At the end of the project the final as -built plans are submitted to the City
within 30 days of construction completion.
CHANGE ORDERS
KOA will establish, implement and coordinate systems for processing all contract change orders. Issues that
identified as a potential change to the design, scope, cost, or schedule will generate a change notice, as
determined by KOA. The plans and specifications will be reviewed against the change notice. If the issue does not
appear to be included in the plans or specifications, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be sent to the contractor.
Any credits for work deleted as a result of the change will be required at this time. The contractor's response to the
RFQ will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness. KOA will prepare independent cost estimates for
comparison with the contractor's proposal. Upon the City's approval, KOA will prepare, log and process change
orders for full execution, and administer their implementation. Once fully executed, KOA will review the timely
Agreement No. 5812
completion of the work and coordinate inclusion of the change order in the appropriate payment application. KOA
will maintain a Trend Log, listing potential changes as identified. It shall be used such that potential change items
are not overlooked or deferred until the end of the job.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT/CLAIMS RESOLUTION
KOA will implement its time tested claims management process to minimize changes to the project and avoid claims
such that the project can be quickly and successfully closed out. KOA has done so on over 400 public projects valued
at approximately $1 billion with no unresolved claims. KOA will not defer difficult issues and will process only change
issues that have been analyzed and determined to have merit. Those items will only be recommended for
consideration when the most reasonable cost and time has been negotiated and all alternatives to avoid the impact
have been resolved.
WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS
KOA will issue written instructions to contractor regarding routine matters and/or follow-up of verbal instructions as
necessary to properly document project issues.
PROGRESS PAYMENT PROCESSING
A cost control system, based on the contractor's schedule of values, approved change orders, and the contract amount
shall be developed and implemented to monitor progress costs. Monthly cost reports will be submitted as a
component of the monthly progress report. KOA will review the payment applications submitted by the contractor and
determine whether the amount requested reflects the progress of the contractor's work. Appropriate adjustments to
each payment application will be required by the contractor. When the payment application is acceptable and all
backup documentation is verified, KOA will prepare and submit a progress payment report. It shall state the total
contract price and actual amounts owed for the current period. The KOA team is experienced in evaluating complex pay
applications. It is critical to the City's best interest that the payment application review is performed accurately and
prudently to maintain the prime and subcontractor incentives to perform on the projects.
PRE -FINAL INSPECTION
The construction observer will perform the final job walk and prepare the punchlist (deficiency list). KOA will coordinate
and observe payments to date, current payment requested, retainage, the completion of required corrections. Should
the contractor lag on a portion of the completion of work, KOA will estimate the value of incomplete items and
recommend specific retainage in accordance with the contract. If necessary, a change order will be recommended for
approval for completion of the remaining work such that the City may file the notice of completion and start the time
after which stop notices and/or claims are no longer valid.
FINAL INSPECTION
All corrections must be made before KOA recommends processing the "Notice of Completion". KOA is noted for our
attention to detail. We excel at closing out our own projects and we have been requested to and successfully close
out problem client projects where our services are not initially utilized. Upon completion of the punchlist and final
sign off by all project stakeholders, KOA will make recommendations to the City regarding Contractors final
progress payment request and prepare final progress payment report for submission to City.
DELIVERY PROJECT CLOSE-OUT DOCUMENTS
KOA will review "as -constructed" plans and prepare "as -constructed" reports. KOA will help the contractor maintain
a field set of updated "as -constructed" plans. KOA will continually document changed field conditions and not rely
on the contractor to document "as- constructed" conditions. KOA will report and photograph field condition
changes.
Discrepancies will be discussed, resolved, and recorded. Completed "as -constructed" plans will be submitted to the City.
KOA will provide a final project report, detailing all relevant aspects of the project, including budget, reasons for bid
price variations, schedule information, as -built plans, and technical details, including a compilation of project
photographs.
To implement a timely project close-out, KOA will enforce implementation of the Construction Contract documents. If
needed, training will be conducted prior to transferring responsibility to the City. All construction management and
inspection records will be provided to the City for their records. KOA will ensure full compliance with all pre -
40
construction, construction, and post -construction requirements for all pertinent project permits. KOA can assist with
the final invoice letter to Caltrans if needed. KOA will perform closeout duties including final organization of project
files in binder and electronic format, (CD-ROM or thumb drive) and submit to the City for final approval, and assist
with the filing of the notice of completion and release of retention.
FEDERAL -AID PROJECTS
On federal -aid projects, KOA will follow the Federal Highway Administration requirements and the Caltrans Local
Assistance Procedures Manual for award packages, inspection and progress reporting, DBE goal administration, the
Quality Assurance Program, and the provisions of specifications, to require the contractor to submit well -coordinated
operations and maintenance manuals, warranties and guarantees, certifications, affidavits, leases, easements, releases,
bonds, extra stock and/or other documentation pertinent to the contract Administration Checklist and Project filing
format. As stated in our cover letter, KOA has provided services for 15 federally and/or state -funded projects in the
last seven years. None of the audits failed or were denied reimbursement. All projects listed were for city agencies.
Those projects that have been audited are designated with an "(A)" rating.
LABOR COMPLIANCE
KOA performs its own labor compliance reviews with our own staff. We ourselves are registered with the state of
California Department of Industrial Relations as a general contractor providing Building/Construction Inspector
services, and we are subject to the same state and federal prevailing wage law requirements as any other contractor
who will be working with the projects anticipated in this project assignment. KOA has provided labor compliance for
all of our public works projects where we were required to do so, with tasks including conformance to prevailing wage
rate requirements; apprenticeship programs; notifying and tracking corrective actions; verifying required postings,
conducting employee interviews, verifying final compliance, and submittal of final report/resolutions to the client.
