The stairwell access is to be covered with a cover that will support vehicular traffic loading over the eastern portion and a lift assisted access cover over the westerly portion to allow for continued use as access to the subsurface water system facilities all of which is within the preliminary public utility easement (PUE) area (shown on Exhibit 'B' attached). Precising and amending of the Public Utility Easement legal description and exhibit map will be the first order of work in over to provide for correct placement of the new building on the site, and to meet the City's escrow closure date of December 6, 2010. To accomplish this activity will require a timely field survey of the site survey controls and topographic features within and adjacent to the PUE area. The resulting plat and dimensions will then be used to amend and refine the PUE legal description and exhibit plat for use in the property documents and final design of the proposed improvements. It is understood that the new masonry block building for housing the electrical and telemetry controls is to be located between the west end of the existing stairwell and the existing block building (former hydrogeneration facility). Its north wall is to be aligned and eight-foot (8') distant northerly of the south edge of the south curb line of the stairwell to the subsurface pressure reducing valve (PRV) station facility, and the building is to allow for adequate clearance for entering and exiting the stairwell and minimal clearance from the existing block building (eventually to be demolished). The new building is to have a security door with unauthorized access alarm, exterior lighting above the door, interior lighting and electrical plug for power tool use and venting as necessary. The roof will be conventional hip style and constructed of metal having a durable weather protection treatment and approved coloring that is compatible with local surroundings. The existing telemetry equipment (located in the former hydrogeneration building) is to be relocated to the new masonry block building and reconnected to existing conduits and wiring connections (if code compliant) currently serving the underground PRV Station. The communication wiring (land lines) are to be reconnected between the telemetry equipment and the existing offsife connection in order to maintain operation of the telecommunication system utilized by the City. The new electrical service and meter location is to be coordinated with the local utility provider (SCE) and other service to the site is to remain in place. Our service approach to this project will include: "Engineer <rg p Gecte6hniCal I Environmental I Sustainability I Financial I Homeland Secunty 714.978.8200 1 800.424.9144 1 fax. 714.978.8299 1 2401 East Katella Avenue, Suite 480.

Quality ControUAssurance Plan (Willdan) The primary mission of our Quality Control/Assurance Plan is to provide staff with the technical and managerial expertise to plan, organize, implement, and control the overall quality effort, thereby ensuring the completion of a quality project within the time and budget established. The goals of the Quality Control/Assurance process team are to: • Establish a set of planned and systematic actions for maintaining a high level of quality in the professional services performed • Establish a consistent and uniform approach to the services performed • Ensure efficient use of resources • Emphasize quality in every phase of work • Implement appropriate quality control measures for each work task of the project *K Mr. Bill Crow City of El Segundo 10 November 2010 Page 4 pRp The above activities will be a critical part of initiation and implementation of the Quality Control/Assurance Plan and will set the tone for successful team cooperation throughout the life of the project. The following list defines the basic elements that will be covered in the plan: • Contract deliverables • Specific quality control procedures • Special quality control emphasis • Responsibility and authority • Budget and manpower requirements • Overall project schedule and budget • Project documentation requirements Our Quality Control Plan for this project is integrally associated with Willdan's in -house Quality Assurance Manual which provides consistency in completing the required professional services while retaining flexibility to respond to changing needs of the project. The basic goal of the Quality Assurance (QA) Plan is to provide quality work delivered on time and within budget. Quality control is an ongoing process with concepts and solutions subject 10 change and improvement throughout the design. The primary tool of our QA Plan effort is periodic project team meetings. Goals of the meetings are to address interdisciplinary coordination issues, identify key dates for information in order to maintain project schedule, investigate constructability, and discuss the sequence of construction, and to track. progress. Willdan has long recognized the importance of quality control and its direct relationship to the success of a project. Our standard practice is to prepare a project - specific quality control plan and issue copies to our clients and team members, as specified by Willdan's Quality Assurance Manual. This manual includes a series of checking procedures for all contract documents and involves quality control reviews by senior level staff. The project Quality Assurance (QA) Plan will identify checking procedures for computations, plans; and additional submittals and procedures for corrections and back checking. It will define the procedures for kKVng, disseminating, and filing all project correspondence into proper indices. The QA Plan includes the project description, objectives, required services, organization, and schedule, standards of practice, project procedures, and procedures for preparing calculations, drawings, and reports. Willdan typically requires fomwf quality control plan reviews at three critical stages. 35 %, 65%, and 96% PS&E submittal. However, for a project of lesser complexity such as this, we will submit plans for review at 70% and 100% completion. Quality control comments and resulting actions are noted and compiled for Wildan's review and files. The quality control documents are available for client review upon request. Assumptions 1. City will be responsible for the environmental processes associated with the project 2. No geotechnical work is included in the project since the site has been developed and used for structures and utilities placement which have greater impacts then this project. 3. City will advertise, bid, award, and administer construction of the project. 4. Willdan will provide design engineering consultation during construction. 5. Willdan will prepare record drawings upon completion of construction. Closure *110 Mr. Bill Crow City of El Segundo 10 November 2010 Page 5 Willdan's stability and reputation} for delivery of high quality services with integrity is well recognized by local govemments throughout California.
