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

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.

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.

limit the liability of CONSULTANT hereunder. The provisions of this section will survive the

written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

improvements as well as hundreds of grade crossings in
Southern California for numerous agencies including
cities, Counties, Caltrans, regional transportation
agencies and railroads.
In addition to a comprehensive team, JMD offers a
Project Manager with extensive traffic engineering
knowledge and experience as well as a responsive,
innovative and cost-effective approach customized to
the City's needs.
JMD anticipates assisting the City with several tasks in
four primary areas illustrated and described below.

JMD's approach is to be Service -Oriented and keep the
City informed throughout the project. We will meet with
City staff early to verify the City's expectations for the
project and our proposed scope, schedule and process.
Our approach to a typical City 'On -Call" program is to
meet early with the City staff and other impacted
agencies, if applicable, in order to establish scope,
schedule and process. Once we have prepared the final
scoping documents and are issued a Notice to Proceed,
we will begin the preliminary phase of the project, which
typically consists of research and data collection, utility
identification, coordination and investigation; field
surveying and topographic mapping; identification of
facilities to be modified or replaced; and preparation of
any required design reports and preliminary plans for the
proposed improvements. If right-of-way or easements
are required, a preliminary right-of-way map will be
prepared showing parcels to be acquired and conceptual
modifications to existing property.
JMD will utilize existing information available from
previous studies, reports, investigations and analyses as
a basis to begin any study and/or design work. This
information will be augmented and updated, where
required. Because they are typically on a project
schedule's critical path and may require substantial lead
time, the following tasks will begin immediately upon
receipt of the Notice to Proceed:
Research and Data Collection
Secure Permits Required for Access to the Project
8 Utility Identification and Coordination
Identification of Right -of -Way Requirements
Determine Environmental Requirements
JMD will meet with the City's functional unit staff
responsible for review of a specific element of the
conceptual and preliminary plans as we are working on
them. Draft copies of this work will be submitted for
significant work items before the milestone submittal
date with follow-up meetings to solicit input. This early
coordination gives us a clear understanding of what the
functional unit reviewers expect while giving the
reviewers a preview of what will be submitted before the
actual submittal is made.
Design of transportation improvements on existing
facilities in typically urban settings presents some unique
issues and requires experienced design techniques.
Based on our past experience, we understand the
complexity of retrofitting existing transportation facilities
while maintaining basic services, traffic flow and

minimizing impacts to the roadway user. Specific items
related to typical transportation improvement projects
may include:
Utility location
Utility relocation
Existing conditions and compliance with current
standards (knowing when to upgrade existing
facilities to current design standards and that impact
on the project schedule and costs)
® Construction staging
Construction traffic control
Permits and approvals
Typically, City transportation improvement projects are
in urban settings and may involve multi -agency
approvals. This requires planning, communication and
follow through to successfully secure consensus and
process approvals through impacted agencies.
We believe that the success of any project will depend
upon adequately addressing key issues during the
project development process and preparation of the
preliminary and final plans, specifications and estimates
(PS&E) package. Once the preliminary phase work tasks
have been completed, reviewed and approved by the
City, County, Caltrans and any impacted agencies, JMD
will incorporate comments and begin work on the final
phase, which includes the final PS&E. In addition to
providing Geometric Approval Drawings (35%), we
anticipate making two review submittals (65% and 90%
PS&E) and the Final (100%) PS&E package will be
submitted after all reviews and approvals have been
completed.
JMD offers a cost-effective approach and has a
reputation for responsiveness and quality.
Sample cope of Work
JMD has developed two sample scope of services, A and
B, to illustrate depth of knowledge on project
requirements for typical projects encountered by local
agencies.

TASK I-1— PROJECT ADMINISTRATION, MEETING
AND COORDINATION
JMD will meet with City staff and confirm the project
scope, establish key communication personnel, refine
time schedules and finalize design criteria. After review
of the process to be followed, agreement on the design
concept and schedule will be reached. This will avoid
confusion and delay later in the project development
process and facilitate timely review and approval of
submittals.
Meetings between the City and JMD will be held as often
as necessary to keep all parties informed, resolve issues
and successfully complete the project. Written progress
reports will be prepared monthly to assess project
progress, identify issues and outline planned work tasks
and submittals.
We will prepare and obtain approval of Encroachment
Permits from Caltrans for projects located within the
State right-of-way.
TASK 1-2 — RESEARCHIDATA COLLECTIONVUTILITY
COORDINATION
JMD will obtain documentation available from the City
and/or County records pertaining to this project. We will
assemble, sort and review existing available information
on the project area, including "as -built" plans, maps,
studies, existing right-of-way and utility information in
order to become familiar with the project, ascertain the
completeness and accuracy of available information and
determine additional inforration requirements. Field
reviews and survey checks will be made, as necessary,
to verify that existing information is correct.
JMD will coordinate with all utility companies to identify
existing underground and overhead utility lines that may
interfere with the location of traffic signal equipment. For
electrical services, JMD will coordinate with Southern
California Edison or other applicable agencies.

counts will be conducted at those intersections or
locations selected by the City. The following traffic
counts will be performed:
Manual Counts - Manual counts will be of a 6-hour
duration (3-hour a.m. and 3-hour p.m.), or a 9-hour
duration (3-hour a.m. peak, 3-hour mid -day peak
and 3-hour p.m. peak), tabulated in 15-minute
intervals and will include counts for vehicular (cars
and trucks separated) and pedestrian movements
made.
Machine Counts - Machine counts will provide a
continuous sampling of vehicular traffic on each
intersection approach. Output will provide a count of
these movements in consecutive 15-minute
increments for a typical 24-hour period. Mid -block
counts can also be provided.
TASK14— PREEMP77ONANALYSIS
JMD will conduct preemption analysis for proposed
grade crossing improvements in accordance with
railroad standards and requirements. Such analysis will
define railroad preemption needs and equipment
modifications as well as rail crossing improvements at
each grade crossing affected. This includes quiet zone
assessments.
TASK 1-5 — FIELD SURVEYS AND BASE PLANS
Field surveying for the project could consist of the
following:
Each location will be field inventoried. Not only will the
type of controller and operation be observed, but also the
locations of all signal equipment, signing and striping
adjacent to the intersection, right-of-way, curb and
gutter, sidewalk and miscellaneous topographic
features. City and affected agencies will be contacted to
obtain their current timing plans and coordination plans,
if any.
Any recommended additions or deletions to the project
will be developed at this time. A recommendation will be
made regarding improvements necessary to achieve the
City's objectives for the location.
Along with the above -mentioned signal equipment
inventory, a visual inspection of the integrity of the
existing pavement will be performed. The areas where
the pavement needs to be reconstructed/ resurfaced will
be identified. This inventory will also identify potential
utility conflicts.
After determination of the desired objectives for the
signal modification, the City and affected agencies will
be contacted regarding specific equipment requirements

Management Plan
Our Management Plan consists of three primary
components, namely, People Management, Project
Management, and Quality Management. The first
focuses on leading the team to achieve the desired
project objectives. The latter two consist of using
appropriate project controls to effectively manage the
project deliverables, schedule and budget. A typical
project would be managed in accordance with each
component to meet the City's objectives in a timely
manner. Each one of these components is briefly
discussed below.
N"=
People management consists of team leadership
through effective planning, staffing, and communication
as discussed below.
iNanin'ing
After our kickoff meeting with the City, we will hold an
internal team meeting to discuss the project's objectives,
milestones, staffing needs, schedule, and task
responsibilities. Our goal will be to establish a realistic
plan to meet all project requirements.
Staffing
The JMD Team is committed to delivering quality and
timely services within the City's time and budget goals.
We have added multiple groups of professionals to work
as squads and manage multiple projects conveniently. In
addition, we have provided sufficient resource capacity
to perform the projects or tasks in a timely manner, and
confirm that the key personnel proposed for the project
will be available for the duration of the project. Currently,
our work level is estimated at approximately 50 percent
of capacity and declines to 30 percent over the
anticipated life of this project. Mr. Itagaki, our proposed
Project Manager, is available over 60 percent of his time
during the next 12 months. Our key team members are
available as follows:
On aH "firaffic Einqneerhmq SmMoes
Steve Itagaki, PE, TE, PTOE

30%
Frank Sanchez, MBA, PE
80%
Gilberto Figueroa, PE
60%
Algis Marciuska, MBA, PE
60%
Ivan Salvatierra, PE, TE
60%
During our internal team meeting, we will prepare a team
staffing plan to ensure the right people are available at
the right time for each project or task.
The Project Manager will work closely with each task
leader to develop the proposed submittals in accordance
with the project requirements. Through the use of
telephone conferencing, faxes, and e-mails, the project
team, including our subconsultant(s), will discuss project
issues, progress and reviews on a periodic basis to meet
each project milestone. The ultimate objective is to lead
the team to the desired objectives through effective and
timely communication.
Our Project Managers experience with the City and staff
augmentation programs confirms that the best way to
minimize delays and address unforeseen problems is to
proactively communicate with the City's Project Manager
(PM) to alert him or her of potential issues. In addition,
often the City PM is so involved on other projects that he
or she may not effectively communicate changes in the
District's position or direction regarding a project. These
situations can be avoided with proper communication
and documentation through meetings, email and
telephone conversation minutes.
o'ect Manaolernent
For the project development work, we propose to use a
Project Management and Control System that we have
used successfully on similar multi -disciplined
transportation infrastructure design projects. The
monitoring and controlling of schedules and budgets will
provide a means to ensure that the proposed work plan
is implemented effectively in an efficient and timely
manner.
The core of JMD's system is a monthly Project
Management Report comprised of two sections:
Design Status Report - Arranged by task, this report
discusses budget and schedule; design problems which
need to be resolved; coordination required between the
n-s
Agreement No. 7025
� Uty ofI II Segwido
i' ���Call� Tiraff c E19.iirwe nir S ices
project team, the client staff and other agencies; and
actual versus planned progress.
Project Control Report- This is a computerized report
which tracks budget and schedule and is refined and
customized to meet the specific project needs. This
report is issued monthly, but can easily be produced
more often, if required, for more frequent project control.
It is critical that the project management system be
flexible and able to accommodate scheduling
adjustments that may occur. JMD's system requires the
Project Manager to re -plan the project, as necessary, to
reflect an accurate and up-to-date schedule. In the event
of a schedule shift, a recovery plan will be developed and
implemented to either meet the original milestone dates
or other dates mutually agreed to by the City and JMD.
The schedule will provide a tool with which the Project
Manager can closely monitor the scheduled timing of
each task and permit overall management control of the
project.
Pro' c� Sctk l f , Cost Control
The monitoring and controlling of project scope,
schedule and cost will provide a means to ensure that
the proposed work plan is implemented in an efficient
and timely manner.
Initially, the scope of work will be carefully negotiated
with the City to ensure that we understand your intent
and expectations for the project. The negotiated scope
will be translated into a written format with identified
budgets, milestones and deliverables. Anticipated
exclusions and items to be provided by the City, Caltrans
and other public agencies will be defined, reviewed and
discussed. A detailed project schedule will be developed
that outlines the significant project milestones and their
estimated completion date based on our experience with
similar projects with local agency oversight and
approval. Control of scope, schedule and cost will be
achieved using the following Project Management
Control System that JMD managers are using
successfully on similar projects. The core of this system
is a monthly Project Management Information System
comprised of the following three elements:
Criticar l f°lath Method (CIIC""lM) Scher°firllle
JMD has in-house staff with expertise in Microsoft
Project Planner. A comprehensive project schedule will
be initiated by our Project Manager and will serve as the
controlling document for tracking progress of the work.
This schedule will form the framework for measuring our
actual performance to planned performance and can be
used for periodic updating of the City's work plan and
financial planning. The project team will meet prior to
beginning work on the project to collectively determine
the smaller work tasks required to complete the major
work activities as established in the scope of work. A
sequencing plan of these smaller work tasks, using
precedence format, will be developed which, in turn, will
determine the overall schedule. The series of work tasks
and resulting schedule will be diagrammatically exhibited
as a Critical Path Method (CPM) flow chart. This flow
chart, which high- lights the critical path, will be used to
determine the intermediate project milestones.
Project Coiirmtroll Report
Prior to beginning the project, the Project Manager will
prepare the Project Control Document which defines
major tasks, subtasks, milestone submittals and task
budgets. This information is entered into our centralized
accounting system that will provide the Project Manager
with a weekly report of project budget status based on
weekly time cards and direct expense information. The
Project Manager will estimate project completion weekly
and compare his estimate with the actual project
expenditures to date. This comparison gives him a
"snapshot" project cost evaluation on a weekly basis.
The Project Manager, with assistance from the Project
Engineers and subconsultants, will prepare a monthly
cost -to -complete estimate that is a valuable tool in
keeping the project on budget and validating the Project
Manager's estimate of project progress.
Project Status (Report
Arranged by task, this bi-weekly internal report
discusses budget and schedule; project issues which
need to be resolved; coordination required between the
project team, City staff and other agencies; and actual
versus planned progress.
JMD offers a Project Manager with proven written and
verbal skills and record of meeting budgets & schedules
=g i'fl � �
Quality Control/Quality Assurance is a process that
begins with the preparation of the proposal and signing
of the contract. Understanding the City's requirements
and expectations is the first step in providing a quality
project. JMD will follow the City's QAIQC procedures but,
if necessary, may also rely on its own QAIQC procedures
to supplement those by the City.
JMD has developed an office environment and
philosophy which encourage quality. Our quality
assurance program includes preparation of a Quality
Control (QC) Plan for each individual project which
specifies the responsibilities, requirements and
u-10

procedures for quality control. The plan is modeled after
the ASCE publication, "Quality in the Constructed
Product," is flexible, and can be modified to respond to
specific client requirements.
The functions of JMD's quality assurance program are
to:
Establish a quality review team for the project. The
quality review team is responsible for monitoring
adherence to procedures and practices by:
o conducting surveillance of project activities
