CONSULTANT under this Agreement will not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights
CITY may have under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising from CONSULTANT's
performance. A waiver by CITY of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in
this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any

16. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS. All documents, data, studies, drawings, maps, models,
photographs and reports prepared by CONSULTANT under this Agreement are CITY's
property. CONSULTANT may retain copies of said documents and materials as desired but will
deliver all original materials to CITY upon CITY's written notice. CITY agrees that use of
CONSULTANT's completed work product, for purposes other than identified in this Agreement,
or use of incomplete work product, is at CITY's own risk.
17. PUBLICATION OF DOCUMENTS. Except as necessary for performance of service under
this Agreement, no copies, sketches, or graphs of materials, including graphic art work,
prepared pursuant to this Agreement, will be released by CONSULTANT to any other person or
public CITY without CITY's prior written approval. All press releases, including graphic display
information to be published in newspapers or magazines, will be approved and distributed solely
by CITY, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between the parties.
18. INDEMNIFICATION. This Agreement contemplates that CONSULTANT will act both as a
design professional (as defined by Civil Code § 2782.8) and for other management services.
Accordingly, CONSULTANT agrees to provide indemnification as follows:
A. CONSULTANT must save harmless, indemnify and defend CITY and all its
officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all suits,
actions, or claims, of any character whatever, brought for, or on account of,
any injuries or damages sustained by any person or property arising from,
pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of CONSULTANT or any of CONSULTANT's officers, agents,
employees, or representatives. CONSULTANT's duty to defend consists of
reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the
CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT's percentage
of fault will be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In
the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or
resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the
CONSULTANT's percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation to determine
the CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of
determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to
the CITY; CONSULTANT and CITY must each pay half the mediator's fees.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event one or more defendants to a Claim is
unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the
business, the CONSULTANT must meet and confer with the CITY regarding
unpaid defense costs.
B, Defense For All Non -Design Professional Liabilities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and without diminishing any rights of the CITY under subsection A, for
any liability, claim, demand, allegation against CITY arising out of, related to, or
pertaining to any act or omission of CONSULTANT, but which is not a design
professional service, CONSULTANT must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Indemnitees from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees), judgments, settlements,
and/or arbitration awards, whether for personal or bodily injury, property damage,
or economic injury, to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT.

Agreement No. 6572
C. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials, employees,
agents, representatives, and certified volunteers.
D. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended
to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California
and will survive termination of this Agreement.
The insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 22, will not
limit the liability of CONSULTANT hereunder. The provisions of this section will survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
19. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's
written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
20. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will
act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is
performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other
employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY
and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY
provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the
right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of
control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end
results of the work only.
21. AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT will maintain full and accurate records with respect
to all services and matters covered under this Agreement. CITY will have free access at all
reasonable times to such records, and the right to examine and audit the same and to make
transcript therefrom, and to inspect all program data, documents, proceedings and activities.
CONSULTANT will retain such financial and program service records for at least three (3) years
after termination or final payment under this Agreement.
22. INSURANCE,
A, Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times
this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the
following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with
the limits set forth below:

B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO-CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. The amount of
insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily
injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Liability
policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as
"additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such
insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any other insurance that may be
carried by CITY will be excess thereto. CITY's additional insured status will
apply with respect to liability and defense of suits arising out of CONSULTANT's
acts or omissions. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims
made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to CITY.
C. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage
is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is
provided on a "claims made basis," CONSULTANT will continue to renew the
insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is
terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy
that was in effect during the term of this Agreement and will cover
CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions
of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this
Agreement was in effect.
D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA
00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY valid Certificates of Insurance evidencing
maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, a copy of an
Additional Insured endorsement confirming CITY has been given Insured status
under the CONSULTANT's General Liability policy, and such other evidence of
insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time
to time. Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best
Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to Section 15.
23. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval
to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must
approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.
24. INCIDENTAL TASKS. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the status on
the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative description of progress
during the past month for each major task, a description of the work remaining and a description
of the work to be done before the next schedule update.

Subject: Engineering Services Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Xu,
KOA Corporation (KOA) is pleased to submit this proposal to describe our experience and capability in
providing the City of El Segundo with on -call traffic engineering services. We believe our firm's 35-year
history in traffic engineering as well as the skills and experiences that we can bring from having worked
on a wide variety of projects over the years, will ultimately be beneficial to the City. KOA has been
providing high -value on -call engineering services to counties and cities all over Southern California since
we were founded in 1987.
i
KOA is based in Southern California with over 100 staff members. Although we may not be considered a
"large" company, we believe KOA is the ideal size to provide attentive and responsive service to City staff.
Not being a large national or international firm also means that we will not be distracted or pulled away
by projects out-of-state or overseas — our core business is assisting public agencies in Southern California
with their public works infrastructure projects, and that is our intent with the City of El Segundo.
Conversely, we are large and experienced enough to provide the core competency and depth of resources
to meet the City's needs. With KOA, the City will get a stable team who is familiar with the procedures and
standards that are utilized by the City. A core group of staff will be solely dedicated to any assigned task
order so that City staff does not have to deal with any changing personnel, lack of continuity, and
inefficiencies by the consultant team.
One unique characteristic about KOA is that we are a full -service consulting firm that offers services in
transportation planning, civil and traffic engineering, and construction management and inspection. We
have provided Cities with services from the beginning stages of project planning and conceptual design,
assisting with obtaining project funding, provided a high -quality PS&E package, provided construction
support, and provided construction management/inspection services.
I, Giuseppe Canzonieri, PE will serve as the On -Call Project Manager. I have 16 years of civil and traffic
engineering experience and have prepared numerous projects involving the design of roadways, medians,
pavement rehabilitation, signing & striping, traffic signals, worksite traffic control, street lighting,
construction specifications, and cost estimating. I have served as project manager and project engineer on
several civil and traffic engineering design projects for many Cities throughout Southern California. I
believe that my well-rounded project experience will be a benefit to the City of El Segundo.
The work for this on -call contract will be managed from our Monterey Park office, located at 1100
Corporate Center Drive, Suite 201, Monterey Park, California 91754.

If you have any questions, or if you require additional information regarding this proposal or our
qualifications, please contact me at 323.260.4703 or via e-mail at gcanzonieri@koacorp.com. I will be the
designated contact person for this proposal and for the proposed on -call contract. We look forward to the
opportunity to continue working with the City of El Segundo and becoming your most trusted and
capable engineering consultant firm.

UNDERSTANDINGPROJECT
KOA understands that the City of El Segundo is seeking a highly qualified consultant firm to provide on -
call traffic engineering services. Through project task orders issued by the City, the KOA team will be
providing various traffic engineering support services for the Public Works Department that include, but
are not limited to:
• Data collection services,
• Preparation or review of traffic impact analysis studies, analysis of existing and projected traffic
conditions, parking studies, collision analysis,.
• Performing pedestrian and bicycle studies, including those for Safe Routes to School projects,
• Preparation or review of signing and striping, traffic signal, and traffic control plans, specifications,
and cost estimates,
• Preparation or review of traffic signal timing charts,
• Respond to requests from the public regarding traffic signal operations, traffic, traffic safety and
parking issues,
• Investigate traffic issues including site observation, collision analysis, and recommendations,
• Attendance at community outreach events, workshops, traffic commission meetings, and City
Council meetings, as required,
• Speed data analysis, speed surveys, intersection control studies, safety studies, and miscellaneous
traffic engineering services,
• Providing technical assistance in identification and preparation of various grant opportunities and
applications.
GENERAL WORK APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
The staffing and resource level needed for the task order's scope of services will depend on the type of
project, the size of the project, and the schedule. To determine the appropriate staffing and resource
levels, the KOA Program Manager will typically go through the following process:
• The KOA Program Manager will review the work order provided by the City and assign a KOA Project
Manager or subconsultant to the project.
• If there are any uncertainties or other potential work scope items not covered in the work scope, the
Project Manager will discuss them with the City to make sure the project scope is complete and well -
understood.
• Once the project scope is understood, the KOA Project Manager will prepare a proposal. After
approval by the City (and an agreement is executed), the KOA Project Manager will schedule a kickoff
meeting with the City to confirm the scope, schedule, and overall expectations.
• After the kickoff meeting, the KOA Project Manager will lead the effort in establishing a dedicated
KOA design team for the project that can meet the schedule and work expectations of the City.
• Our KOA Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing the overall project delivery and
delegating work tasks to our firm's design staff, so that there are adequate resources working on the
project to meet the necessary timeframes for submittal.

• We will have an experienced lead project engineer assigned to the project, who is very familiar with
design projects and agency requirements. Our lead project engineer will closely oversee the day-to-
day design production efforts and will serve as an assistant project manager to provide an additional
point -of -contact and to ensure continuity of staff assigned to the project.
• The number of staff assigned to the project will be dependent on the size of the project, as well as the
project's timeline. Depending on the number of plan sheets and documents we need to prepare and
depending on the submittal schedule, we can gauge how many staff members we need to assign to
the project. We believe our team has the staff depth and resources available to complete any
foreseeable assignment.
• Generally, when we conduct field reviews, our field crew will consist of two staff members. If the
project involves multiple locations and a tight deadline, we may send more than one field crew out to
expedite the work effort (but we will not take shortcuts on the thoroughness and quality of our field
reviews).
•, When preparing design plans in the office, the number of staff assigned to the project will depend on
the number of plan sheets we need to prepare and how soon we need to finish them. If the project is
relatively small and the schedule is manageable, we may have 1 or 2 design staff members involved.
We will assign more design staff to the project when the project tends to be larger. We have the
flexibility to assign several staff members to a project, if necessary. Regardless of how many design
staff we assign to the project, the KOA Project Manager and a lead project engineer are always
involved.
In the event an assignment requires special staffing needs and the services of outside specialists, we
will include them in our proposal. As the prime consultant, it is our responsibility to ensure that any
firms we hire comply with the necessary work scope and expected timelines to meet the City's
requirements for the project.
The KOA team will provide and manage the resources necessary to accomplish the scope of services as
described in the RFP. KOA's work plan for preparing plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for various
improvement projects will generally involve the following procedures:
Understanding the scope of work
Traffic signal examples: signal equipment upgrades, controller/cabinet replacement,
add/modify signal phasing, vehicle detection improvements, highway/intersection safety
lighting, pedestrian heads and push buttons, median nose cutbacks, ADA-compliant curb
ramps, crosswalk modifications..
Signing & striping examples: add lanes, reconfigure lanes, restore striping, add/remove
signs, add/modify crosswalks and limit lines, install bike lanes, modify parking restrictions.
Street improvement examples: roadway widening, curb bulb -outs, pavement
reconstruction, median island improvements, sidewalks and curb ramps, curb and gutter
improvements, catch basins and other roadway drainage improvements.

roadside signs and the proper disposition of all affected existing pavement delineations,
markings, roadside signs, roadway dimensions, lane widths, construction notes, and
general notes. We will design the required transitions for the proposed pavement
delineation to join with existing pavement delineations on intersection approaches and
departures. Follow appropriate design guidelines (California MUTCD) for the placement
of signs and lane transitions/taper rates based on the design speed.
c. Street improvements: Show proposed roadway features to be constructed, removed, or
reconstructed. Show station call -outs for all proposed improvements and all appropriate
dimensions. Show construction notes, general notes, and details. Show proposed
centerline profile and curb line (or flow line) profiles, as appropriate. Follow appropriate
design standards (SPPWC, Caltrans, etc.). Prepare roadway cross -sections, as appropriate.
6. Performing a thorough quality control review process. This very important step will generally
involve a design peer review, followed by a design supervisor review, and then followed by yet
another review by a senior, experienced engineer. During our quality control process, we will
verify the accuracy and correctness of plans, make sure the design conforms to the intended
design scope, check constructability, and look out for potential utility or substructure conflicts. If
necessary, we will conduct additional field reviews to verify the existing improvements and
suitability/constructability of the proposed improvements.
7. Upon receiving plan check comments from the City, we will diligently review and address each
comment made. We will try to understand the meaning and intent of each comment. If we have
any questions or concerns, we will contact the City to discuss and resolve them, to ensure the plan
revisions we make are done appropriately and correctly. If necessary, we will conduct additional

field reviews to verify the proposed design. We will subject our plans to another round of internal
quality control plan reviews before submitting the revised plans to the City. We will verify that we
have addressed every plan check comment, either by making the appropriate plan revisions
and/or making a note on the check prints.
If required, we can assist the City in preparing special provisions and construction cost estimates.
We can prepare the necessary technical specifications for those items not covered by the SSPWC
or Caltrans Specifications. We can prepare quantity estimates for each bid item and also
determine appropriate unit prices based on recent bid price histories. When preparing our
estimates of probable construction costs, we will adjust our estimated unit prices based on the
relative quantities (higher unit prices for lower quantity items; lower unit prices for higher quantity
items) and the project location (higher unit prices for more remote locations and farther
distances).
9. If needed, we will provide construction phase support services for the City. Our work plan will
generally involve providing clarification to the design plans that we prepared and also preparing
change order documents when necessary. We can also attend pre -bid meetings, pre -construction
meetings, field meetings, etc. We will prepare bid addenda when needed, review contractor
submittals, and will respond to requests for information (RFIs) upon request.
