1. Project Understanding (Key Issues, Approach and Scope of Work.)
Project Understanding
Given the unique conditions for each of the three blocks on Richmond Street from El Segundo Boulevard to
Holly Avenue, we are anticipating that the recommended design layout may vary for each block. Based on
our site visits and preliminary review of the project, we have identified the following:
El Segundo to Franklin (commercial area)
• There are a significant number of ficus trees along this reach, although a few have been removed,
and the sidewalks and curbs reflect the corresponding uplift from the trees.
• Other than a few traffic signs, benches and potted plants (and trees), the easterly side does not
include any parkway obstructions. The westerly side includes a messenger drop -off cabinet and
several street light poles.
• There are three (3) driveways on the east side and no driveways on the west side.
• The street is superelevated and drains from west to east.
• There are curbs only on both sides of the street — no visible gutters.
• There are a significant number of Heritage Stones that may have to be relocated /adjusted to grade.
• For the northerly half of this reach, there are numerous doors and patios which provide vertical
constraints that must be joined with the proposed design.
• The existing longitudinal roadway slope is over 2% and drains to the north and south.
• A portion of the sidewalk drains toward private property.
• The existing pavement is in fair condition and appears to need rehabilitation — not reconstruction.
• ADA issues are widespread and include a significant number of tripping hazards.
Franklin to Grand (commercial area)
• There are a significant number of ficus trees along this
reach, and the sidewalks and curbs reflect the
corresponding uplift. As a result, much of the street is
entirely covered by tree canopy.
Other than a few traffic signs, benches, and a rolling
gate (and trees), the easterly side does not include any
parkway obstructions. The westerly side includes a
manhole, several street light poles, and the biggest
obstruction on the project — the extension of the patio
structure and umbrellas into the public right -of -way at
Second City Bistro.
• There are four (4) driveways on the east side and one (1) driveway on the west side.
• The street is superelevated and drains from west to east.
• There are curbs only on both sides of the street — no visible gutters.
• There are a significant number of Heritage Stones that may have to be relocated /adjusted to grade.
• There are numerous doors and patios which provide vertical constraints that must be joined with the
proposed design.

• The existing longitudinal roadway slope is over 2% and drains to Grand Avenue, where it outlets to
the existing cross - gutter and then flows to the east.
• A portion of the sidewalk drains toward private property.
• The existing pavement is in fair condition and appears to need rehabilitation — not reconstruction.
• ADA issues are widespread and include a significant number of tripping hazards, some as a result of
hardscape improvements within the public right -of -way.
• The mid -block crosswalk has been removed although the curb ramps remain intact.
Grand to Holly (mixed commercial /residential area)
• The ficus trees along this reach have been removed relatively recently and several new species have
been planted in the parkway.
• other than a few traffic signs and tables /chairs for the restaurant at the NE corner of
Grand /Richmond, the easterly side does not include any sidewalk obstructions. The westerly side
includes several pulboxes /manholes and several street light poles.
• There are three (3) driveways on the east side and two (2) driveways on the west side.
• The street appears to be crowned.
• There are curbs only on both sides of the street — no visible gutters.
• There are fewer Heritage Stones that may have to be relocated /adjusted to grade.
• For the southerly half of this reach, there are several doors and patios which provide vertical
constraints that must be joined with the proposed design.
• There are numerous encroachments of private property improvements into the public right -of -way,
in particular for the northerly portion of this segment - the residential properties and St. Michael's
Church and Children's Center and at Studio Antiques on the west side.
• The existing longitudinal roadway slope is over 2% and
drains to Holly Avenue.
The existing pavement is in fair condition and appears to
need rehabilitation — not reconstruction.
• Any runoff from south of Holly on Richmond is tributary
to the existing catch basin in the NE corner of
Holly /Richmond. However, the runoff appears to flow
across the intersection via AC pavement as seen in the
picture to the right.
• ADA issues are widespread and include a number of
tripping hazards.
Key Issues
Based on our review of the RFP, field reviews, feedback from the City, and our previous experience, we have
identified the following key issues.
1. COMMUnitV Outreach. Community outreach will be a key element for this project, especially in
determining the final recommendations. The APIP Team includes a specialist in this field whose office is
located in (Manhattan (Beach and who has strong ties to the entire South Bay area. In conjunction with
the community outreach element, a few contentious topics that we anticipate include the following:
21 Page

Agreement No. 4832
*. Proposal for Public Outreach and Professional Engineering Services
Richmond Street Arterial Improvements, PW 15 -01
Loss of trees. Unfortunately, ficus tree roots invariably cause sidewalk /curb /pavement uplift and
eventually have to be removed. For the southerly 2 blocks of the project, the ficus trees are very
mature and provide a significant shade canopy. However, they are also causing significant damage
to the existing roadway, especially causing sidewalk uplift and the resultant tripping hazards. In
developing alternatives, APP has included a landscape architect on our team to assist 6n developing
alternatives for replacement trrees, including the potential for using potted plants as identified in the
February 27, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting.
Loading zones at the SW corner of Richmond /Grand. The loading zones will need to be addressed,
including at the SW corner of Richmond /Grand that is currently marked with yellow curb.
Pedestrian Access Balanced with Additional Parking. Regardless of the location of the proposed
sidewalk, providing a safe ADA- compliant passageway for the pedestrians is important. Residents
and a few businesses have encroached significantly into the public right -of -way with walls, fences,
landscaping, mature trees, stairs, patios and hardscape improvements. In conjunction with the
sidewalk reconstruction process, we generally do not recommend any sidewalk less than b° wide in
commercial areas.
Identification of Key Constraints. The early identification of key constraints is an important factor in
preparing a realistic cost estimate, evaluating alternatives and in keeping the project on schedule.
Constraints for this project include existing right -of -way width, private property improvements that have
been constructed on public property, above - ground obstructions, established doorway elevations at the
property line, and increasing the amount of parking. APP will carefully evaluate each of these •factors to
determine the (best overall design.
Creative /Practical Roadway Widening Solutions, The APP Team has preliminarily identified some minor
revisions to Alternative 2 to improve the functionality of the proposed improvements. Upon initiating
the design refinement of the project and discussing the project with the City and the other stakeholders,
we would explore additional revisions. Although the number of additional parking spaces may be
reduced, fewer vehicular collisions and fewer door "dings" could enhance the project. Some of our
potential preliminary revisions to Alternative 2 are described in the Scope of Work.
Attention to Details. Paying attention to the details is critical to the success of any project. The
experience of the APP Project Team, combined with our proven QA /QC procedures, help to assure the
City that cost - effective solutions are developed and that the details of the project design are being
closely scrutinized and double- checked. Specific details that are
anticipated include the following:
• (Listening to specific concerns raised by the public and
addressing them during the design process.
• Coordinating early with the utility companies.
• Resolving private property joins on a case -by -case basis,
especially at doors and entryways.
• Complying with ADA criteria.
• Identifying cost- saving ideas, including avoiding critical
improvements on private property where possible.
• Adhering to project deadlines.
5. Alternatives Analysis. Not everyone will be satisfied with the
recommended alternative, since it will impact existing
improvements in the public right -of -way that residents have been
using for many years. Ouir analysis of the alternatives will be

comprehensive and will include an analysis of the various roadway elements including information
collected from public outreach efforts.
6. Innovative Desi n Construction Cost Savings
The APP Team has established a reputation for developing innovative engineering designs throughout
Southern California including:
• City of Downey — introduced the City to pavement recycling, resulting in construction cost savings of
millions of dollars;
• City of Anaheim — designed roadway projects that have resulted in significant right- of-way cost
savings due to revised alignments developed by APP staff;
• City of Costa Mesa — in conjunction with a peer review on Bristol Street, identified pavement
construction cost savings of almost SBl;
• City of Laguna Beach — developed an alternate design strategy for the Hillcrest Sidewalk Project that
resulted in design .and construction cost savings of over 40%;
• Los Angeles County Sanitation District — redesigned the drainage portion of the District's Mesquite
Railroad Project, resulting in a construction cost savings or over SB% on the drainage system.
Realistic Cost Estimates. One of the elements of the design of a project that APP pays special attention
to is the preparation of realistic construction estimates. Our estimates are based on contractor bids for
similar recent construction projects supplemented by direct discussion with A 's construction
personnel and contractors. Additionally, we prepare a preliminary cost estimate at an early stage to
determine whether the project is within the construction budget or if adjustments need to be made.
8. ConstructabilitvlBid Items. "Successfully constructed without problems" - words that our Project Team
loves to hear and has become accustomed to hearing consistently. Problems during construction can
negatively affect everyone associated with a project. By utilizing our construction personnel during
design, using experienced engineers, paying attention to the details and by carefully reviewing our
quantities and bid items, we can hear those words on this project. In particular, we will have to make
sure that our payment clauses are well written and inclusive.
9. Understanding the Design Issues. As can be seen throughout our proposal, the APP Team takes pride in
closely looking at the design issues during the proposal stage of the project. This allows us to avoid
surprises during the design stage. Additionally, our Project Manager's experience with the design of
numerous roadway widening /reconstruction projects, including numerous projects with significant
horizontal and vertical constraints in fully - developed areas will be invaluable.
Approach
APP has assembled a highly qualified and experienced team
to execute the design of these projects. The APP Team
overall approach will be cognizant of the following:
• Provide a design that addresses the concerns raised
by the public.
• Significantly increase the number of parking spaces
that are currently available.
• Address pedestrian safety and ADA- compliance.
• The design for all three segments of roadway will probably vary, especially for the northerly segment
where there are a number of residential properties.

• Make the project work within the existing public right -of -way.
Scope of Work
The following tasks represent the scope of services required for the Richmond Street Improvement Project
from El Segundo Boulevard to Holly Avenue.
A. Project Initiation
1. PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING
Within one (1) week after the City's Notice to Proceed, APP will schedule and attend a project kickoff meeting
with Public Works Staff to establish clear lines of communication, gain a full understanding of the various
tasks called for in this project, including scope and nature of public outreach, work done to date, constraints
already identified in the project, potential modifications to existing concepts, review and revise, if needed,
the proposed project schedules, discuss project parameters and constraints, and obtain background data.
2. DOCUMENT REVIEW AND SITE VISIT
Compile and review existing documents pertinent to this project, including but not limited to existing draft
design concepts, base and utility maps, etc., current striping configurations, potential street augmentations,
etc. Visit the site as necessary to gain a full understanding of the
scope of the project.
A thorough search of the available records will be conducted to
acquire relevant data to assist in the design of the project. The
information accumulated will include record drawings, City utility
information, and horizontal and vertical control data. APP will
prepare a table summarizing the obtained data and review with
the City prior to beginning surveys and preliminary design.
The Project Team will review the project in the field and take
photographs of each property along the project limits. The
photographs will be filed in a photo album with a written
description clearly identifying each picture. The album serves as a constant reference during design and is
invaluable when discussing issues at meetings.
3. UTILITY RESEARCH (added task)
Utility research and notification will consist of the following tasks:
• Obtain plans showing location and size of all utility lines and appurtenances within the project area.
• Plot utility lines on base map.
• Cross -check plotted locations above with field review information to verify that existing lines are
shown in the proper location. Utilize DIG Alert as a secondary source of verification.
• Notify and coordinate with affected utility companies regarding potential conflicts, relocations and
improvements within two months of receiving a Notice to Proceed. Follow up again near the
completion of draft construction documents. Two (2) sets of plans will be submitted for final
notification and comment to each utility agency concurrent with APP'S 90 percent submittal to the
City for plan check.
Coordination with the utilities will continue throughout the design of the project. Notices will be sent to all
franchise utilities that will be impacted by the project, requesting that pertinent facilities be relocated, if
necessary, prior to February 2016 and /or adjustment of the pertinent facilities made in combination with the
construction project where feasible. Required relocations /adjustments will also be noted in the project
specifications so that the Contractor will be aware of utility work that will have to be done by others.

B. Public Outreach and Project Management
1. CONVENE SUBCOMMITTEE
Convene a subcommittee, which will consist of two City Council members. Staff, various business
representatives from the 100, 200 and 300 block of Richmond St. and residents from the 300 block of
Richmond St. are also expected to participate. It is expected that the subcommittee and participants will
meet up to five (5) times to better understand the goals of the project and provide design input and feedback
during the design phase of the project. The Consultant, after receiving input from the subcommittee and
participants, shall develop a questionnaire and distribute it to affected Richmond St. businesses and residents
seeking their input and opinions as part of the design process. The questionnaire shall include but is not
limited to parking stall dimensions and configurations, traffic lane and walk widths, landscaping, lighting, etc.
2. OUTREACH TO AFFECTED BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS
Extensive outreach about the project, the ability to respond to the public and general project management
are anticipated during both the design and construction phases of the project. Outreach shall be conducted
via multiple venues as appropriate, and includes traditional mailing, website postings, a Facebook page,
email, phone calls, community meetings and door -to -door encounters The extent and duration of these
outreach efforts will be dependent on the outcome of the concept design phase, feedback received by the
community and duration of construction. The Consultant shall receive approval from the City prior to
conducing, issuing or posting anv public correspondence.
Platinum PR's's public relations and community outreach
(PR /CO) specialist has effectively provided public relations
At the conceptual level, this project will require consistent advanced notification to the residential and
business community and possibly monthly staff meetings at the City of El Segundo. We will develop printed
project fact sheets, informational collateral, and visual aids for up to five (5) stakeholder meetings as
required, and represent the City during presentations and for community outreach.
Our public meetings /workshops will help gather information for consideration during design, help finalize
project decisions, and provide updates to project stakeholders and the community at large.
Our PR /CR specialist will provide the City of El Segundo with all public relations services related to this project
including: preparing written documents and literature for public notifications, website updates, social media
communications, newsletter development and printing, face -to -face communication with residents and
business owners, and response to all media inquiries. To avoid confusion, miscommunication and false
information being distributed it will be very important to have one point of contact for all media related
inquiries regarding this project. A City hotline and website page will be created with assistance from City staff
and maintained by the PR /CR specialist. Both the website and hotline will be checked and updated regularly.
6)Page
t,,IL.)Il If , `N' 01 "`4. P E N N A
Agreement No. 4832
Proposal for Public Outreach and Professional Engineering Services
Richmond Street Arterial Improvements, PW 15 -01
The hotline will be checked daily and all inquiries will be responded to within 24 hours. Additionally, we will
set up an electronic sign -in sheet so that individuals can receive weekly eBlasts with project updates.
Up to ten regular press releases or fact sheets to local newspapers and fact sheets to libraries, churches,
schools, etc. will be created and distributed during the design and construction phases of the project. They
are vital to the "buy -in" process for the public. Consistent and accurate information that is dispersed
regularly will help mitigate cause for concern from locals. Our PR specialist has worked with many of the local
newspapers and local television and cable television which will help to expedite press releases and print
media items.
At the project -level during construction, targeted work zone public information and outreach strategies will
be used to communicate with road users, the general public, area residences and businesses, and
appropriate public entities about project information; road conditions in the work zone area; and the safety
and mobility effects of the work zone. Public information and outreach is one of the most cost - effective work
zone impacts mitigation strategies in most urban areas.
Effective use of public information and outreach strategies can lead to improved driver and worker safety,
less traffic delay, and reduced driver frustration during construction. Our customized messages can help
businesses get their customers and employees safely through the construction and to their door. Additional
outreach services may be necessary during construction to help affected businesses and residents
understand construction sequencing and the full impact of construction while in front of their properties.
3. ATTEND REGULAR INTERVAL MEETINGS WITH CITY STAFF (includes Project Management /QA /QC)
Progress meetings may be in person or via phone conferences, depending on the extent of issues to be
discussed. As this project has the potential to be controversial, a high degree of Consultant and City staff
involvement is expected throughout the concept design and
approval phase. Less involvement will be required during the
construction document development phase.
While the project is executed by the technical staff, the Quality Control function is carried out to provide
independent checking of the project and address constructability and bidability issues. The project is
regularly reviewed by the Project Manager who monitors progress against the established work breakdown
structure and schedule. Any technical difficulties, schedule slips or previously unforeseen conditions are
immediately recognized, quantified and addressed. The status is reported to the client in regular project
status reports. As a result, interactive, responsive and proactive project management is utilized.
Quality Control will be an on -going task throughout the duration of the project. APP initially develops a
quality control work plan internally to evaluate the project team selected for the assignment. The work plan
outlines the design standards and manuals to be followed, establishes checking and review procedures, and
identifies assignments and responsibilities.
All design documents prepared by the APP Team are checked in detail prior to formal submittal. At key
milestones throughout the design process, independent checks will be performed on the various aspects of
the design. The checks will typically be performed at the preliminary, 90 percent and 100 percent levels.

C. Concept /Design Development
1. REFINE CONCEPT DESIGNS
Based on comments already received by the City, as well as input from the Subcommittee and feedback
received by the community from Task 131 and B2 above, Consultant shall incorporate and refine a street
design whose goal is to achieve a significant increase in the number of parking stalls in the 100, 200 and 300
block of Richmond St. while also considering parking stall dimensions, loading zones, handicap parking
access, traffic flow, driveway access, sidewalk needs, etc.
Because the extent of a site survey is not anticipated to change (i.e. right -of way widths and business
access locations are fixed), we will obtain the survey information within the first 4 weeks of receiving the
Notice to Proceed. We have found on other projects that the individual property owners like to see /discuss
specific joins on their properties at the public meetings and completing the survey at this stage of the project
will allow us to do that more accurately. The survey will be used to create the base maps. Using the prepared
base maps, supplemented by field reviews, City staff and resident input, existing public right -of -way widths,
ADA and other design criteria, the APP Team will refine the design of the 3 blocks of Richmond. The drawings
will show the horizontal and vertical alignment of the new curb, driveway joins, private property joins, utility
relocations, any drainage improvements, and conceptual landscaping. The initial landscape design effort will
take the form of schematic plans and elevations that depict the intent of the City to establish a streetscape
that provides for trees and plants that thrive in this urban setting and unify the diverse architectural building
facades. The schematic plans will be in a loose sketch format.
Although we will more thoroughly evaluate the alternatives during the design phase of the project, based on
our preliminary visual and plan research, some of the potential refinements to Alternative 2 are described
below:
• Although 22' is reasonable for a traditional street with on- street parallel parking, for the steep 62.5
degree angled parking shown, additional street width would be required to avoid encroaching into
the opposing lane of traffic while backing out of the steep angled parking. A wider drive width may
be recommended to reduce accidents for cars backing out of the angled parking.
• In conjunction with the drive width noted above, the recommended street width increases as the
angle of the parking stall increases. In light of the limited right -of -way width available, we will
consider 45 degree angled parking instead of the 62.5 degree angle shown. Although this may
reduce the number of parking spaces currently shown, safety in parking operations will be enhanced.
• Although there are utility obstructions on the west side of the street and not on the east side, we
generally recommend using a minimum 6' parkway on both sides of the street in commercial areas.
A 6' sidewalk is more accommodating to the pedestrians, especially in the downtown area.
• The 8' -4" stall width will be further reviewed, especially for the commercial areas where moderate to
heavy parking turnover is anticipated. A 9' stall width
should be considered to improve visual angles and
provide better access to patrons exiting and entering
their vehicles.
• Consideration will be given to increasing the number of
handicapped parking spaces where feasible and based
on community input.
2. ASSESS STREET RECONSTRUCTION NEEDS
Consultant shall identify the unique street, curb, gutter and
sidewalk reconstruction and /or rehabilitation needs for each
block (100, 200, 300). It is anticipated that each of the three
blocks will have different rehabilitation needs, ranging from full reconstruction and sidewalk replacement to
3" grind and cap and partial sidewalk reconstruction. The Heritage Stones currently located on Richmond
81 Page
M Il'Dp�F SO':;�l',4-PENNA
Agreement No. 4832
Po Proposal for Public Outreach and Professional Engineering Services
Richmond Street Arterial Improvements, PW 15 -01
Street will need to be cataloged and carefully removed such that they are replaced in exactly the same
location after the sidewalks are reconstructed.
Although we do not yet have a pavement report for the project, our visual review suggests that the existing
pavement may not require full reconstruction. In conjunction with the widening of the street, an overlay may
be used where feasible and will help minimize the back of walk join issues as described in further detail
below.
3. PRESENT FINAL DRAFT DESIGN TO CITY COUNCIL
Present Final Draft Design to City Council: The Consultant shall prepare and present a summary of the overall
process, meetings held, feedback received and final designs for each of the three blocks to City Council and
seek approval for a final design to move forward with construction documents.
D. Construction Documents
1. DRAFT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Draft Construction Documents, which are based on the Concept Design Development phase and City Council
approval process described above, shall be completed. Construction documents shall ensure that proper
elevations are achieved for sidewalks that abut buildings, proper crowning and street drainage is maintained,
that curbs and gutters meet city standards and that the Heritage Stones are removed, stored and replaced in
their exact locations. Construction surveying will be a necessary component of the design and construction
document phase. Coordination with other utilities is required where necessary as described above.
Street plans will be prepared using the topographic survey data to create base sheets. The improvements will
include the reconstruction of portions of private improvements, where necessary, in order to provide
appropriate joins. We will provide to the City 20 -scale plans for the street improvements. Cross - sections will
be critical to the design of the roadway improvements in order to ensure that private property elevations are
being properly joined and that the street cross -fall is within an acceptable range (not too flat or too steep).
To a large extent, the roadway plans for this project will revolve around minimizing vertical joins at the
private property line, especially where the existing buildings are constructed at the back of the sidewalk.
Therefore we will design this project from the outside -in (use the existing back of walk elevations as the
vertical control) rather than the traditional inside -out method (use the existing roadway centerline elevations
as the vertical control). Since this is easier to show via an exhibit than with words, please see Figure 1 on the
following page.

An initial summary of the existing constraints for the west and east sides of the street are identified below.
Based on cursory review reviews of the existing topography, the tributary area for the existing Holly Avenue
Storm Drain is relatively small and does not appear to warrant an extension upstream. However, the runoff
from Richmond on the south side of Holly does flow across the AC pavement to the existing catch basin in the
NE corner of Holly /Richmond.
APP will prepare a hydrology map and hydrology and hydraulic calculations for the area tributary to the Holly
Street Storm Drain. The size of the upstream catch basin will be evaluated. Based on the results of the
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, the appropriate catch basin and connector pipe required will be designed.
Any off -site drainage relocations required will be shown on the off -site improvement plans.
2. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Prepare a topographical survey of Richmond Street between El Segundo Boulevard and Holly Avenue.
Prepare Plans and Specifications for review and developed in accordance with the "American Public Works
Association Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, Caltrans Standard Specifications, and the City of El
Segundo Design requirements and Standard Detail Drawings. These plans shall include the following:
i. Pavement Design: Design a roadway structural section for Richmond Street between El Segundo
Boulevard and Holly Avenue, which may consist of rehabilitation and /or complete
reconstruction, as needed. The design requires proper testing of the existing conditions and

approval from City Staff prior to finalizing which design option will be chosen. New curbs and
sidewalks with designated top of the curb, gutter flow line and property line elevations are
required. Street signage and other above ground appurtenances relocation will be necessary as
required by the proposed design.
Stormwater Modifications: Prepare hydrology study and determine whether a new stormwater
system that can adequately convey a 50 year storm flow is needed in the 300 block of Richmond
St. If needed, as determined by the City after review of the hydrology report, replace or relocate
existing catch basins along Richmond Street based on the existing storm drain system which is
consistent with the City's Storm Water Prevention Ordinance.
iii. ADA Issues: All designs shall conform to Federal and State ADA requirements for handicapped
accessibility along Richmond Street.
iv. Traffic: New striping plans, including street parking layout; red, yellow and green curb locations;
flashing crosswalk lights at the mid- block crossing; intersection details for traffic delineation and
traffic control plans to be used during construction.
Huitt- Zollars (HZ) will research at the City of El Segundo and at Los Angeles County Department of Public
Works for survey records information and will calculate a 'record' centerline alignment to be used for the
initial centerline monument recovery survey. HZ will then calculate the centerline alignment based on the
location of those found monuments. The Basis of Bearings for the project will be based on recorded
subdivision mapping in the area. The vertical datum will be based on the City of El Segundo Vertical Control
Network or the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works NAVD88 datum for vertical control.
HZ will provide cross - sections, at 50 -foot intervals, for that portion of Richmond Street from El Segundo
Boulevard to Holly Avenue (± 1,600 LF). The cross- sections will extend from R/W line R/W line, and will
include shots at: R /W, back of walk, top of curb or finished surface and centerline, and includes location of all
existing surface improvements within the street R/W including above ground utilities, manholes, signs, trees,
utility poles, traffic signal poles, and other appurtenant improvements in the specific project area. The survey
will extend to 5' beyond R/W at driveway locations for 'join' purposes. The survey will also include: shots at
doorways and walkways that may be adjacent to the R/W or 'join' condition; and locations of 'Heritage
Stones' (red stones located in parkway area). Since aerial topographic mapping will not be utilized for this
project, additional survey shots will be required to draw all features as shown in the Topographic Survey.
3. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Plans and specifications should be submitted to the City for review at the 60 %, 90% and final stages.
Consultant shall attend review meetings to discuss any City comments during these phases. All plans shall be
submitted in a 24 "x36" format on mylar using a standard City title block. Final plans shall also be submitted to
the city in Auto -Cad 2013 format. Special provisions, technical specifications and plans shall be submitted in
electronic format on a DVD accompanied by a hard copy of the complete specification document and a full
size (24 "x36 ") hard copy of the plans. All documents shall be sealed with the stamp of the engineer,
registered in the State of California, who is directly responsible for the project design. Consiltant will work
with City staff to obtain any other general conditions and specifications required for the final bid package.
Street Plans
Final 20 -scale roadway plans will be prepared for the project
based on the approved preliminary plan alternative. Included as
a part of the plans will be the reconstruction and /or
rehabilitation (as necessary) and widening of the street, sidewalk
reconstruction, driveway reconstruction, utility relocation,
landscaping modifications, locations of heritage stones, and the
reconstruction of ADA - compliant curb ramps.

As discussed earlier in the scope of work, we are anticipating minimizing vertical changes at the proposed
back of walk and raising the finished surface of the asphalt pavement. In conjunction with the pavement
recommendations and the survey cross - sections, the top of curb profiles and roadway centerline profiles will
be designed. Special attention will be given to provide realistic flowline grades, especially where the curb and
gutter alignment shifts horizontally at bulbouts.
Her'ifae Stones
The Heritage Stones affected by the construction project will need to be meticulously cataloged and their
exact locations documented. It is expected that the Heritage Stones will be carefully removed by the
Contractor at the beginning of construction, stored and then put back in their original locations once the
sidewalks are reconstructed.
Private Property Details
Based on the approved preliminary plan alternative, the final drawings will be prepared. The plans will
include wall /curb design /relocation, driveway joins, landscape and irrigation reconstruction, planter
modification /relocation, and other details required. No building modification details are anticipated.
Landscape
Upon approval of the Landscape Concept Plan, final PS &E will be developed for the parkway landscape and
irrigation improvements. Parkway planting plans will be prepared based on the construction plan layout
showing plant species, layout, container sizes and quantities. Irrigation calculations will be prepared based
on the planting design using water budgets established by the City. Irrigation equipment will be based on
City requirements.
Traffic Plans
Striping and signing plans will be prepared at a scale of 1" = 40' with multiple street segments on a full size
plan. All work will adhere to the current CAMUTCD and Caltrans 2010 Standard Plans and Specifications for
striping and signing placement and installation. Work is anticipated to include providing angled parking stalls
as well as on- street parallel parking stalls along Richmond. Every effort will be made to maximize the number
of marked parking spaces, although as previously noted, we recommend using at most 45 degree parking.
Any additional signage necessary to enhance parking safety will be considered and included. Plan sheets will
contain notes and details needed to provide a complete set of plans. Technical Special Provisions will
supplement the plans. The base drawings will display all existing striping, markings, parking restrictions, and
signing found on Richmond Street between El Segundo Boulevard and Holly Street.
Two phased traffic control plans will be prepared at a scale of 1" = 40' and will contain all notes and details
necessary to define the specific work area. Each phase will establish the work area on one side of Richmond
for improvements in the sidewalk area which includes curb return access ramps, driveways, new sidewalk
sections, trees and general landscaping and drainage. Parking lanes adjacent to work areas will be closed for
traffic and available only to construction crews and equipment. Traffic control plans will include placement
of traffic control devices (signs, delineators, and barricades) and temporary striping (if appropriate).

4. VALIDATE SURVEY AND DESIGN
The Consultant shall use a third party consulting firm to validate the design elevations prior to submitting
final drawings to the City for approval. The construction documents will need to be approved by the City's
Public Works Department prior to bidding.
5. PRESENT FINAL DESIGN TO CITY COUNCIL
Present the final construction designs to City Council which shall include a summary of the anticipated
construction timeline, sequencing schedule and expected impacts to businesses (as identified in E below).
E. Construction Sequencing
The City desires to minimize the impact of construction on its residents and businesses during the
construction phase. The Consultant shall prepare a timetable outlining a realistic schedule for construction
which includes construction methods that can be used to ensure patrons will be able to access businesses
during construction. If restricting or prohibiting access to businesses is unavoidable, Consultant shall identify
the duration expected and offer access solutions where feasible (e.g., alley entrance) such that patrons can
reach these businesses during construction hours. Alternatively, Consultant shall recommend an alternative
work schedule to minimize impacts on businesses while achieving expeditious implementation of the
construction project. It is expected that each block will be completed in a single phase, thereby minimizing
the disruption of parking availability in the immediate downtown area.
Prior to the development of a construction sequencing plan, a constructability review will be held to evaluate
the project. The review will focus on equipment access, how the construction will be accomplished, potential
impacts to adjacent properties, traffic control, driveway access and amount of time required for construction.
F. Probable Cost Estimate
Consultant shall prepare a cost estimate based on the construction documents drafted in D above. The
construction cost estimate shall be prepared on a unit cost basis. City will provide boilerplate specifications.
APP will prepare preliminary quantities and cost estimates with the conceptual, preliminary and final design
submittal. Unit prices will be based on current cost estimates comprised of contractor bid results and
discussion with APP construction personnel. APP will also provide the City with an electronic version of our
cost estimate spreadsheet, which can be utilized by the City to prepare a bid summary after the Contractor's
bids are received.
G. Bid Assistance
Consultant shall attend the pre -bid meeting, provide engineering services and be available to answer any
questions from prospective bidders during the entire bid phase of the project. Consultant shall also prepare
and release any required addendums to the plans and specifications during the bid phase. The City may
choose to have the bidders pre - qualified. If this option is chosen, consultant shall assist the City in developing
the pre - qualification requirements. Consultant shall review bids received, verify compliance with bid
requirements, make reference checks and make a recommendation for contract award.
H. Construction Phase
1. ENGINEERING SUPPORT DURING CONSTRUCTION
The consultant team shall provide engineering services during the construction phase by reviewing and
providing recommendations regarding contractor's request for information, contractor's shop drawings,
submittals, change orders, periodic (average one (1) per week) site visits during construction and
recommendation for final acceptance of the work. Daily inspection services, contract administration, special
inspection and testing services, etc., are not included in this scope of work.

of Los Angeles, and OCTA. CSI is a professional services firm guided by its two principals, Renie Meier -Wong
and Don Wilson, who each have over thirty five years' experience. Their projects encompass a wide range of
the built environment, with emphasis on outdoor improvements, park and recreation areas, schools and
athletic fields, urban sites, transportation facilities, streetscapes, military facilities, housing, community
centers, police and fire stations. CSI has extensive experience working with public and private clients in
Southern California and throughout the U.S.
As a design- oriented firm, CSI believes successful projects are created when all involved are committed to a
full partnership in the creative process. Their goal is to bring the collective experience of the client, the users,
and the design team to bear on each project. Their approach encourages close interaction and exchange of
ideas while insuring that the project is managed within the allotted budget and time. They do this by
engaging experienced individuals and by using the latest technology to convey the design in a clear and
accurate manner.
Transportation and Energy Solutions, Inc. (TES) is a mall firm
rransportation &Energy Solutions, Ina that has been providing transportation engineering and
planning consulting services to public and private clients
since its founding in October 2001, and construction administration and inspection services since 2004. TES
currently has three offices in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. The partners and founding
principals Nathaniel Behura, MS, MBA and Glen Pedersen, PE, have been active in the fields of
transportation /traffic planning and engineering, intelligent transportation systems and energy efficient
transportation solutions 25 years each. As a small firm, TES offers exceptional quality by committing a high
level of involvement by one or both principals on all projects.
Since our inception in 2001, they have achieved a level of success and a reputation for quality such that we
have received a number of repeat projects from agencies like the County of Los Angeles; Cities of Long Beach,
Burbank, Pomona, and Azusa; San Bernardino Associated Governments and many others. They recently
completed their 60th project for Burbank! One major reason for their success is that unlike many large firms,
they do not designate their partners as figureheads on a project to placate their clients. On each of their
project one or both of their partners are involved in a very hands -on way - as project manager or principal
engineer. This allows the project manager the ability to make decisions at every level and have all the
resources of the firm available to the client. Because of TES's extensive public works experience, they offer
their services as extension of City staff. Well over 90 percent of their clients are public agencies and most of
our work include on -call traffic engineering design and planning services. Finally, though they do not cut
corners on quality of service or deliverables, they deliver these at very competitive rates, because of their low
overhead. They also do not take on a large number of projects at a time, especially if it may affect the
delivery of the level of service an agency deserves. Some typical traffic related services include signal design
or modifications, street signing and striping, circulation analysis and design, parking analysis and design, plan
checking, bicycle and pedestrian facilities planning and design, traffic impact analysis and studies, traffic
surveys, warrant analysis, ITS planning and design, etc. TES is also well known for their experience with
community and Council interface with traffic, parking and circulation issues.

Quality Assurance /Quality Control (QA /QC) Management Process
QA /QC is a key component to any project, and a critical component for this project that encompasses
numerous property owners, temporary encroachment permits and design elements. Quality Control will be
an ongoing task throughout the project. The initial effort will be in the development of a project specific
checklist that will establish specific tasks that need to be accomplished, the estimated completion date and a
signature block for the project manager to sign that the task has been completed and reviewed. Bob Merrell,
PE is responsible for overall QA /QC, and will ensure that all checklist items are addressed by the
project manager.
Submittals: For each of the milestone submittals, the project manager will be responsible to ensure that the
submittal meets the scope requirements. In addition to plan and specification review, the Project Manager
will evaluate progress and review the results of the comparison with the Senior Design Engineer and, to the
extent possible, develop a plan to keep the project within budget and on time.
Schedule: The Joe Buckner, PE, PLS, Project Engineer will prepare and maintain a Microsoft Project schedule
that focuses on delivering the project. The schedule, task lists and progress reports will be used to list each
task in the project to enable our Project Manager to hold members accountable for delivery. We will provide
a summary report regularly that shows tasks completed, items that
have changed, and schedule updates.
Our Strategic Approach to a Quality Product:
Understand the Project: Quality control starts at the
beginning of the project through planning and controls. At
the forefront of the project, our project manager will
discuss the proposed scope of work, projected schedule,
and estimated costs in detail with the City to ensure that
the project scope and goals are fully understood from the
onset.
The Right People for the Project: Our project team has
extensive, relevant experience in completing roadway
design projects in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and
within the City. The team that has been formed will hit the
ground running, delivering on schedule and within budget.
Dally
Management
Process
Communication: Our project manager has an excellent track record communicating with clients,
subconsultants, staff, and stakeholders. Frequent communication and tracking of project progress is
integral to his approach to every project.
Familiar Subconsultants: The subconsultants for this team have been selected because of their
expertise, their prior performance, and we have successfully completed other projects together.
Schedule Control: We have project management tools that forecast staff requirements and labor
allocations three month in advance.
