RE: Response to Request for Proposals for Construction Inspection Services PW 24-08: FY 24/25 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Dear Floriza Rivera,
We at Anser Advisory Management, LLC (Anser) are excited to provide our proposal to the City of El Segundo (City) for Construction Inspection Services
and nuclear gage testing services in support of the FY 24/25 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
After reviewing the project plans and specifications, and performing a site visit, Anser has developed a strategic methodology to address this project's
challenges in an effort to maintain the schedule and budget.
We recognize that project constraints include performing inspection while the adjacent elementary and high schools are in session, the need for
ongoing public access, traffic control, and addressing safety concerns within tight residential areas as well as the adjacent high -traffic arterial roads.
Anser proposes a team that the City knows and trusts to deliver this project successfully. Our team consists of Jonathan Smith, PE, OSD, as Principal -
In -Charge, Pedram Abbassi, OSP, CESSWI, LEED AP BD+C, as Project Manager/Senior Inspector, Jeffrey Martinez, Ronnie Chevalier, and Darren Hall as
as -needed Senior Inspectors, and a highly qualified subconsultant firm, Verdantas (formerly Leighton, Inc.), that will perform materials and compaction
testing. Anser has collaborated with the City on numerous projects and has a deep understanding of the community and the importance of this
initiative. We have thoroughly enjoyed our partnership with the City and look forward to continuing our work with El Segundo. Our team comprehends
the City's objectives and possesses the knowledge and expertise necessary to successfully complete this project.
Our team is familiar with the project logistics and surrounding neighborhoods and we utilized this knowledge to prepare this proposal having recently
completed similar projects with the City. We will employ our 28+ years of firm experience, as well as our strong understanding and technical expertise
with similar projects to effectively coordinate the work. We will provide oversight to manage the project's construction schedule, phasing, and sequencing
of work, and coordinate the successful implementation of the contractor's safety plan, traffic control plan, and stormwater compliance plan. We will
then use our extensive field knowledge and experience with traffic control, Portland cement concrete (PCC), excavation, cold milling, asphalt concrete
overlay and Type II slurry seal, striping, and utility relocations/adjustments to successfully complete and deliver the project in accordance with the
plans and specifications.
Anser Advisory acknowledges and agrees to the following:
• Anser will execute the City's Consultant Agreement (Exhibit B)
• Anser will provide proof of insurance as noted in the agreement
• Anser will obtain and maintain a City Business License for the duration of the Consultant services
• Anser acknowledges Addendum No.1 July 5, 2024
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal, and we look forward to providing excellent service to the City of EI Segundo for this pavement
rehabilitation project.
Respectfully,
Jonathan Smith, PE, OSD

After surveying the existing site conditions, we are fully aware that we
will need to work closely with businesses, schools, parks, and residents to
JI,Yn
coordinate the construction activities and street/sidewalk closures.
The Anser team will coordinate with Center Street Elementary School, El Segundo High School / Unified School District Sport Center and City Parks
and Recreations. We will proactively work with the contractor to coordinate the construction and accommodate all potential activities, developing a
mitigation measure to avoid any potential impacts.
We also acknowledge the necessity of coordinating public access, trash collection, and construction activities on narrow alleys.
The key to any successful project is maintaining a prominent level of safety while minimizing the impact on the traveling public. Traffic handling and
constant communication with the existing homeowners and businesses will be cruucial for the success of this project. Anser's inspector will provide
the knowledge and experience to execute the project successfully to the standards and specifications outlined by the City of El Segundo.
PRE -CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
When overseeing an overlay project of this size, success hinges on a successful project set up. Once construction begins, there is limited time to take
field measurements to produce contractor payment quantities to support Q-sheets in the pay application process. Therefore, setting up the project
ahead of time is crucial for future success. Anser will assist the City in the initial project setup and facilitate progress pay applications throughout the
project. Pedram Abbassi has experience with managing large rehabilitation projects and has several customizable spreadsheets to aid the field team
with various inspection components.
Prior to the start of construction, it is vital for the Senior Inspector to conduct a thorough site walk and measure the streets ahead of contractor
mobilization. This allows for existing field quantities to be measured before demolition begins. In addition to getting a jump on Q-sheets, this allows the
team time to create theoretical tonnage quantities for each street. Early knowledge of these quantities helps verify the engineer's estimated quantity
prior to the start of construction. During the paving operation, this will also help ensure that paving thickness align with theoretical tonnages based on
actual field measurements. These theoretical quantities will be monitored daily to verify project specifications are being met and that the project will
come in at budget.
While the Senior Inspector is completing pre -construction inspections, they will identify any constructability issues ahead of time and communicate
them to the attention of the Engineer of Record well before contractors submit requests for information.
Another critical feature to identify during the pre -construction phase is the potential addition of dig -outs and/or leveling courses. Pavement sections
often have failures which may require dig -outs between the time when the project was designed and when it goes into construction. During the
pre -construction phase, our inspector will mark -out and label sections in the field which can then be reviewed by the engineers as potential dig -out
locations. Once quantified, the team can estimate potential cost implications to ensure the additional costs are within an acceptable amount of the
contingency budget. This extra work can then be tracked either at force account or an agreed -upon cubic yardage quantity, depending on the City's
preference.

Client Coordination and Meetings
Anser's team will attend all weekly construction progress meetings throughout the
duration of the project with City staff, the contractor, and other agencies or stakeholders,
as required. Our management service includes verifying a two -week lookahead schedule
prepared by the contractor representing the actual project progress with all crucial
milestones Additionally, we will verify that all advance notifications and no parking signs
have been maintained in respect to the schedule.
Project Review and Feedback: Plans, Specifications, Submittals, Progress Payment Requests, Requests for Information (RFIs), Other
Construction -Related Documents
Prior to the first working day, the Anser team will visit the project site and review the contract documents to verify conditions are accurately represented
on the plans. Any possible errors or deficiencies of any specific element will be reported to the City's project manager, and if so determined that changes
are deemed necessary, we will assist in implementing and processing of change orders in accordance with contract documents. In addition, the job site
will be photographed to document pre -construction conditions of existing facilities and utilities that can be damaged during the construction process.
Particular attention will be paid to potential work impacts on the local businesses and the public traveling during the construction. Our extensive
planning efforts will verify construction limits, assess field conditions, identify areas for storage of long lead items, parking, project site staging,
identify utilities that are within the project footprint and their ultimate disposition, photograph and video documentation site, and provide proactive
pre -planning to avoid project delays.
Traffic Control
Traffic management during each project is always one of the most critical safety elements. Consistent and clear communication with the City, other
construction projects, local businesses, and residents will be important so that all stakeholders affected are informed of lane closures and modified
traffic patterns. Our team will assist in the review of the contractor's proposed traffic control plans to verify that they comply with the California Manual
of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and/or Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH) manual. Furthermore, we will clarify that all plans
minimize the impacts to the traveling public and cause as few disruptions as possible. Safety stands as the foremost priority on any project Anser takes
on. This does not only apply to our staff and the contractors' crews, but also to the safety of the traveling public. Therefore, traffic control and detours
will be critical components of this project.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits and Requirements
The Anser team is familiar with all the requirements essential for maintaining compliance including working with the State Water Resources Control
Board, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), local cities, and permits to maintain Water Pollution Control Programs. We will verify
that nearby catch basin and storm drain openings are protected using approved NPDES BMPs (i.e. felt and sandbags) to prevent spillage into the City
storm drain systems. The contractor will comply with the latest version of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LA RWQCB) NPDES
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Sytem (MS4). We will also verify that the contractor does not discharge non -rainwater or any other liquid substances
from the project or related operations into streets, channels, rivers, storm drains, or any appurtenances, unless the discharge is specifically listed
as exempt or conditionally exempt in the most current MS4 Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region Permit for
stormwater and non -storm water discharges.
Monitor Compliance with Construction and Debris Management Plan
Anser will closely monitor the contractor to divert all Construction and Demolition ON waste generated from the project in accordance with the
California Green (CALGreen) Building Standards Code (pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code, Title 13, Chapter 11). C&D waste can only be legally
collected, removed, or transported by waste haulers permitted by the City of El Segundo. If the contractor plans on collecting, removing, or transporting
its own waste, we will make sure that it is approved by City Engineer or designer. We will confirm that the contractor coordinates with the City waste
hauler and the City street sweeper to avoid construction conflicts on days when trash will be collected, or streets will be swept on the project streets.
Monitor Contractor Compliance with Local, State, and Federal Laws, Regulations, and Codes
Anser's philosophy for contractor management emphasizes establishing a solid partnership with clear communication, and developing trust to keep
the project moving forward. We understand that the largest costs on the project come from design, environmental or third -party delay. Our ability to
successfully collaborate with the contractor to explore workarounds when these delays occur has proven effective for past Anser projects.
CRY Y OF El.... aEGUNC.)O Ans(.xrAdvisoy
FY 24/25 PAVEW..::N F ItEI IAB11....I C,4F1ON PROJI:-:C.:; i
Document and Report Non -Compliance
Anser will visit the site during normal working hours (and when critical activities warrant it) to verify construction progress and to verify that all work
adheres to contract requirements. Anser will reject work that does not conform to the requirements of the contract documents and will promptly report
unacceptable work to the City and contractor. Rejected work will be thoroughly documented, photographed, and monitored until repaired or replaced
to the City's satisfaction.
Punch list items should be addressed well before the completion of a project. Following this logic, a punch list of required completion items will be
maintained and electronically shared with the contractor throughout the project duration. Completing these items as the project progresses minimizes
the addition of punch list items during final job walks with the City and applicable project stakeholders. This open communication helps minimize
disputes on the contractor's behalf at the project end, securing a prompt project closeout.
Photograph Site Conditions Prior to, During, and After Construction
Color photo documentation is vital for recording onsite progress. Color video documentation will be conducted at the project's outset to capture existing
conditions. Photographs shall be taken as often as needed (e.g., daily, hourly) and the date/time superimposed on the photos. Specific activities and
any potential or known deficiencies will be documented in photographs. Photos will be uploaded to the Anser share drive daily and the access link to
Anser share drive will be provided to the City PM. Upon project completion, all photos shall be submitted to the City.
Public Outreach, Notifications and Addressing Community Concerns
The construction of this project will occur when neighboring schools, Center Street
Elementary School, El Segundo High School / Unified School District Sport Centery, are
in session. We will collaborate proactively with the contractor to address public concerns
regarding school operations, residents' access, trash collection, and more. If any issues
arise, we will promptly respond with practical solutions. We recognize this pavement
rehabilitation project is located in heavily residential areas. The contractor will be
responsible for distributing door hangers and other notifications to the residents, and
these typically lead to a handful of calls from the community. Given the increase in people
working from home sine COVID, residents are more frequently in and out during business
hours. We often receive calls of concerns about people being able to leave their homes
during our operations, especially with the slurry seal scope of work. We will work diligently
with the public and our contractor to accommodate any reasonable requests which would
negligibly impact the contractors' operations. Based on our experience managing similar
projects that open communication is key to the success of the project and a critical
component of avoiding calls to the City's office.
The Anser team will establish a protocol for public communication and complaint response
prior to the start of the project. We will work closely with the City communications officer
to establish the necessary system and identify the person to perform this role prior to the
project's start. All of our staff will treat outside parties with respect and respond in a professional and pleasant manner. We understand that Anser is
working with the City staff for the residents of El Segundo; they are our clients.
Contractor Inventory Responsibility
The Anser team will closely work with the contractor to take inventory of all street striping, pavement markings, and pavement markings to be replaced,
prior to their removal. This will help us to verify that the contractor properly restores the site existing conditions. Prior to cold milling, the contractor
will provide City staff with a detailed schedule of values for Bid Item 9, an inventory of striping/marking/markers to be replaced, and an inventory of
centerline ties and boundary/survey markers which will be replaced after paving. The striping/marking/marker inventory shall include both the existing
and missing locations of traffic pavement reflectors and fire hydrant blue pavement reflectors.
Contractor Surveying Activities
The Anser team will verify that the contractor surveying activities for establishing flowlines and re-establishing centerline ties occur prior to concrete
pours or tie removal, as per Specification Section 2-9.

Coordination with ESPD and Contractor to Address Parked Vehicles
The Anser inspector will assist the City in coordinating with El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) and the contractor to manage parked vehicles
hindering construction. First, we will verify that the contractor posts all required "No Parking' signs 72 hours in advance with the proper ordinance
number. In the event a parking violation occurs within the construction zone, we will work with the contractor to locate the vehicle owner. If the
contractor is unable to find the vehicle owner, then we will notify ESPD to assist in locating the owner. In the event the driver is not found, the Anser
inspector will photograph the vehicle in violation with no parking sign both prior to and during towing process.

Project Construction Inspections
Anser will maintain a full-time construction inspector at the project site to verify all
construction work in progress complies with contract requirements. In addition, the
construction inspector will be available during off hours, as required, in concurrence
with any off -hour construction work.
The core of construction inspection is project documentation which includes
photographing existing improvements, verifying the material and facilities meet
the intent of the contract documents, are in accordance with OSHA requirements
and other regulating agencies and organizations, including but not limited to all
federal, state, and local safety and trenching requirements. Anser understands each
inspection report is a legal document and will treat them as such.
Daily Construction Inspection Reports
The inspector will compile daily inspection reports detailing the contractor's workforce, all materials and equipment used or idle, a summary of
construction operations, any field problems, disputes or claims, their resolutions, and information provided or written directives to the contractor.
Each report will include observation time, date, weather conditions, and other pertinent information pertaining to the activity completed during each
day of the construction contract. Job photos will be included with each daily report and categorized by date and location for storage and searchability
in the database. The photos are labeled and then stored on Anser Share Drive file system which the City can access at any time. These inspection
reports will be submitted daily via email to the City Project Manager and selected City management personnel at City's request.
Documenting Delays
Comprehensive and accurate daily records of field activities serve as the primary reference in case of disputes. Anser emphasizes that the importance
of filling out the work description section of the diary with measurable information, such as start/stop stations, square footage of flooring removed
or installed per day, and units of equipment set, etc. This documentation during construction, along with photos, helps position the City against
any claims made by the contractor. Early recognition of an issueprovides more opportunities for resolution. If additional work is required, accurate
documentation is critical for determining actual costs and accurately assessing expenses. Should disputed work remain unresolved by change order,
it must continue under a potential claim. In this case, the Anser team will create a file number to track the contractor's efforts with added scrutiny.
Accurate documentation of manpower, equipment, and materials will allow us to disallow or minimize the cost of disputed extra work.
Initiate and Maintain All Tracking Control Procedures
All tracking, control, and documentation procedures outlined in the pre -construction phase will be initiated and maintained. Before implementation,
each procedure will be presented and reviewed by the City and modified to fit City criteria:
• Monitor the contractor's development and implementation of safety programs, which comply with all federal, state, municipal, and local laws, rules,
and regulations.
• Verify that tests, equipment, system start-up, operating, and maintenance instructions are conducted as required by the contract documents in
the presence of the required personnel and that the contractor maintains adequate records.
• Accompany visiting inspectors representing the public or other agencies having jurisdiction overthe work, record the outcome of these inspections,
and report findings to the City.
• Transmit to the contractor, the design team, and the City's clarifications and interpretations of the contract design or contract documents.

F:.Y N/25 f:>A` EMEN I I2EHAB1I....I EAEION PROJE:C::, F
• Consider and evaluate the contractor's suggestions for modification to the contract documents and report them with recommendations to the City.
• Maintain electronic or paper files and correspondence at the job site field office or on a tablet or laptop. This includes reports of job conferences,
shop drawings, and samples submittals, reproductions of original contract documents, including all addenda, change orders, field orders, additional
drawings issued after the execution of the contract, the design AE's clarifications and interpretations of the contract documents, progress reports,
and other related documents.
• Keep an electronic log and record hours on the job site, weather conditions, staff levels, data relative to extras or deductions, list of inspections,
visitors, daily activities, conversations related to specific work elements, decisions, observations in general, and specific observations related to
the Quality Control/ Assurance Plan as prepared by the City's subconsultants.
• Record names, addresses, and telephone numbers of contractors, subcontractors, and major suppliers of materials and equipment.
MATERIAL TESTING AND INSPECTION
Verdantas understands that the project is based on review of above -referenced project plans and specifications,
veh rd'ia n ta and a 60-day total project duration indicated by you. They have estimated their services for 25 part- to full-time
days. Areas of project improvement reportedly span between East Imperial Avenue to the north, Pacific Coast
Highway to the East, East Mariposa Avenue to the south, and Sheldon Street to the west. Also included in the project are the three alley ways bounded
by East Franklin Avenue to the north, Lomita Street to the east, East El Segundo Boulevard to the south, and Sheldon Street to the west. An area of
drainage improvements is also planned at the south end of Alley B-159. Lastly, the intersection of West Palm Avenue and Loma Vista Street is also
included in the project.
Elements of the project to be covered under Verdantas will include but not limited to:
• 2-inch deep cold -milling of existing asphalt pavement (AC) and pavement of new AC
overlay in areas of existing asphalt
• Full depth and part full -depth asphalt replacement in select areas
• Soil subgrade preparation, and new section construction for elements including
new retaining curb/gutter, ramp, cross -gutter, sidewalk, catch basins, and driveway
approach replacement
• Concrete repair and/or new concrete; and storm drain improvements
Anticipated field tasks performed by Verdantas will include the following:
• Soil Subgrade Testing: Observe and test compaction in areas of soil subgrade.
• Aggregate Base Testing: Observe and test compaction of Aggregate Base.
• Asphalt Testing: Observe and test relative compaction of AC.
• Utility Trench Testing: Observe and test relative compaction of utility trench backf ill.
• Daily Field Reports: Daily Field Reports (DFRs) will be prepared by our technicians
each site visit, to be reviewed by Verdantas management and distributed to pertinent city staff and subcontractors. Concerns encountered
during earthwork, which do not conform to project specifications, will be brought to the attention of your project superintendent or designated
representative.
• Geotechnical Laboratory Testing: Collect representative samples of subgrade soils, CMB and AC, and deliver to our laboratory for conformance
testing. Tests are expected to include Caltrans Test Method 216, sieve analysis and Modified Proctor. Budgeted laboratory tests are presented in
Table 1, Fee Estimate, attached.
• Asphaltic Laboratory Testing: Perform laboratory testing on collected asphalt samples. Asphalt testing will include maximum density (Caltrans
Test Method 308).
• Project Management: Provide professional and administrative management, supervision and quality control services during construction. These
services will include dispatch of field personnel, laboratory testing verification, supervision and internal quality control.
Although site safety is the responsibility of the contractor, we will partner with the construction team to achieve a safe work environment. Our
personnel will notify the contractor's site representative upon arrival. Our personnel are provided with conventional and customary personal protection
for construction sites, including hard hats, safety glasses, safety gloves and orange vests. Other required safety equipment can be provided upon
request at an additional cost. Please inform Verdantas in advance of any additional personal protection requirements specific to this site and project,
or your contractor's specific requirements.

As-Builts
As part of our daily and monthly documentation, we will maintain "As -Built" drawings. Developing these items in a contemporaneous fashion ensures
the most accurate memorialization of the activities as they occur in the event of a time impact or dispute. We will maintain a "Live" As -Built set of
plans using Bluebeam Studio Software. This will be a tool that each member of the Anser team can utilize and will have access to the most current set
of plans at any time. At the end of the project, these electronic files can be easily compiled and transmitted to the designer for updating the electronic
plan set, which will then be transmitted to the City and applicable third parties for archiving.
The Anser team coordinates and examines all required testing and commissioning to verify the work
meets the quality and functionality per the contract requirements. Our project team will perform the
final job walk to verify project completion by tracking all incomplete and defective works in a punch
list trend log, including coordinating and observing the completion of required corrections. Should
the contractor lag on a portion of the completion of project work, we will estimate the value of the
incomplete items and recommend a specific retention amount in accordance with the contract to
preserve the City's financial interests. If necessary, a change order will be recommended for approval
for the completion of the remaining work so the City may file the notice of completion and start the
time after which stop notices and/or claims are no longer valid.
All corrections must be made before Anser notifies the City of the final inspection and processes the
notice of completion. Anser is recognized for our acute attention to detail. Upon completion of the
punch -list and final sign -off by all project stakeholders, we will make a recommendation to the City
regarding the contractor's final progress payment request and prepare a final progress payment report for submission to the City. After all requirements
have been met, the inspector will sign off on the appropriate form to recommend approval for the release of funds.
Anser will perform closeout duties, including the final organization of project files, complete and accurate as -built drawings, and submit them to the
City for final approval and assist with the filing of the notice of completion and release of retention.
Punch Lists
Anser has created an innovative way to streamline the process by utilizing an interactive, live, and always up-to-date punch list. This web -based punch
list (using cloud -based software such as Microsoft SharePoint) can be viewed by anyone at any time and is always current. The benefit is that the CM,
contractor, and other agencies can have certain permissions to view, update, and status the log. The CM inputs items on the log which the contractor
can view, correct the items, and update the log once the item is complete. The CM will receive a notification that punch list items are complete and
can verify completeness in the field and update the list. This log can be accessed and modified in the field using a smartphone or other mobile device.
This streamlined process eliminates the need for meetings, reduces the number of transmittals to/from the contractor and increases the efficiency
of the project team.
Final Payment
When the contractor has notified Anser and has confirmed that all punch list items are complete, we will make a recommendation, in writing to the City,
in connection with the final payment to the contractor. To support this recommendation, Anser will assemble all documents relating to final payment,
including retention, unresolved change orders, and unpaid invoices, for approval by the owner. Once approval is received for the final payment, which
resolves all outstanding financial obligations with the contractor, the payment is processed, and the contract is closed. If the contractor requests any
claims or adjustments, the contract cannot be closed until these are completely resolved.
Final Cost Report
Anser will summarize total project costs in a final report, listing all change orders, and identifying any unresolved issues, which may have a post -
construction cost impact, such as a claim or other dispute. Anser will communicate this information in a summary narrative, including assumptions on
any post -construction cost impacts, and support this information with a cost and change spreadsheet of final project accounting.
