Project Manager: Melissa Countryman, Senior Engineer

above.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted Amount: $100,000
Additional Appropriation: N/A
New Amount Balance: N/A
Fund Balance: N/A
Account Number: 101-3006-431-32-00
Authorizing execution of the attached On -Call Professional Services Agreement will not
result in any additional expenditures beyond the approved budget. Funds available are set
and have been included in the final adopted budget for FY 2015/16.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department (Department) relies on contract professional services to
provide services. Services typically include traffic engineering, engineering design,
construction observations and inspection, geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture
services, contract management, surveying, plan checking and environmental services.
1
When services are required for a capital project, such as a street rehabilitation project or
other significant project, the Department circulates a request for proposals (RFP), reviews
the proposals, recommends a firm, and prepares a report to the Council to select the firm,
award a contract, and authorize expenditures. This process works well for large-scale
projects, and the Department will continue to use this process for such projects.
The Department, however, also requires services for projects in which this RFP process is
not as timely nor as cost-efficient. These are generally small-scale projects, or projects
where services are urgently needed. For such projects, the RFP process creates delays,
or adds significant administrative cost. Therefore, since 1997, the Department has
obtained services for small or urgent projects through the "on-call" process.
Under this on-call process, staff selects a firm from an approved list of firms. The City
Council pre -selects the consultants that are placed on this approved list, and awards
contracts, however, staff has the ability to authorize expenditures, as established by the
City Council through the budget process.
Willdan Engineering is being recommended to be included in the City's Professional
Services on-call list and has been fully vetted by staff. References have been reviewed
and they have the proficiency and experience to provide the requisite services. The
required funds needed for any of the on-call services provided through this contract are
budgeted in the FY2015-16 budget. Staff manages the work awarded through the on-call
service contracts, ensuring funds awarded remain within budgeted amounts.
When a firm executes an On -Call Professional Services Agreement with the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes, the firm is eligible to be called to perform work for the City on a
project where the value of the work performed does not exceed $25,000. Prior to
executing the on-call Agreement, the consultant will need to provide the required proof of
insurance and take out a business license with the City. These required components of
the Agreement are completed at the consultant's expense. Once the Agreement is
executed, there is no guarantee that the consultant will be asked to perform any services
for the City, and the possibility of recuperating costs associated with providing proof of
insurance and obtaining the business license will be lost by the consultant. The amount
awarded to the firm over the course of the year will be a function of the approved budget,
the needs of the department, and the firm's performance. The consultants are used only
as they are needed and only if the appropriate funds have been allocated. Accordingly,
due to the requirements for the consultant to provide insurance and secure a business
license without any guarantee of work, some consultants have chosen in the past, not to
execute their approved on-call Agreement with the City. Furthermore, as a control
measure and in the interest of equality, the cumulative contract amount with each on-call
firm is limited to $60,000 during a fiscal year, and as stated above, each single project
awarded to a firm will not exceed $25,000. The one exception to this are any on-call
services that are reimbursed by a trust deposit, which will not count towards these
maximum amounts.
Following City Council approval, a staff member will obtain on-call services by requesting a
proposal from an approved on-call consulting firm. The proposal will likely be an estimate
for the time and any costs that are incurred in performing the services requested by the
City; however, if the project is well-defined, a fixed cost proposal will be requested. A
purchase order will be opened and a portion of the Department's budget encumbered.
This will all be done without further action by the City Council.
K
With the inclusion of Willdan Engineering in the active on-call list and following execution of
the attached on-call Agreement (Attachment A), staff will have the ability to use this firm on
an on-call basis for traffic engineering services and other related Public Works professional
services. In congruence with the other on-call professional service agreements recently
approved, this on-call professional services agreement will have a term of five years. Staff
believes this five-year term achieves a balance between keeping the firms accountable and
not requiring staff to unnecessarily solicit new proposals, which increases administrative
costs.
A copy of the On -Call Professional Services Agreement, and Willdan Engineering's
Statement of Qualifications, is attached to this report.
CONCLUSIONS
Adopting the recommendations will allow staff to perform work by encumbering budgeted
funds through the City's on-call services program. The contract amount is limited to
$60,000 during a fiscal year, and is not to exceed $25,000 for a single project.

Scope of Work
C)u Approach
Since 1964, Willdan has provided consulting services to hundreds of public agencies in the western
United States. Our depth of experience and broad range of capabilities allow Willdan to offer
comprehensive resources for efficient and convenient service. In addition, our expertise in the
engineering and planning fields ensures innovative and effective solutions will be applied to all projects
undertaken by Willdan.
Many of our specialists have a strong background and an intimate understanding of diverse programs
for public agencies. This expertise provides the foundation for planning, design, inspection, and
administration under agency programs, and offers added value with our unique familiarity with state -
and federally -funded programs. We also place strong emphasis on communication and maintaining
personal interaction with the community at large.
Our project approach begins with designating a complete project management team. Each project
management team will be led by a principal representative with full authority to direct operations and
commit resources. In addition to the principal representative, the management team will include expert
staff specializing in the type of service requested. Our array of in-house experts allows Willdan to
develop a specialized management team for each requested project.
In addition, Willdan's size gives us the flexibility to undertake large projects and projects on a
compressed time schedule. If a project arises that requires immediate or extra attention, Willdan's
flexibility allows tasks to be rapidly delegated to an expanded team of staff members. This ensures that
the project will receive appropriate attention to detail and be completed in a timely fashion.
The first task of Willdan's delegated project management team will be to establish a course of action.
This task will begin by coordinating with the City to identify specific project objectives. With these
objectives in mind, Willdan's experienced professionals will actively identify areas of need and design
solutions to address these needs. Our policy of open and often client coordination will ensure the
established course of action and will be consistent with the City's goals.
Once the course of action is established, Willdan will develop a project schedule. Each project
schedule will be developed with the City's project completion date in mind, and will include a critical
path and measurable milestones to ensure the project completion date is met. All project schedules will
be submitted to the City to guarantee consistency with the City's timeline.
In enacting and completing the course of action, Willdan strives to exceed client expectations for
quality of work. Willdan has a history of completing projects on time, within budget, and beyond industry
standards. Willdan is committed to providing this level of service to the City. As such, after each project
is completed, Willdan will follow-up with the City to gather feedback on the City's satisfaction with the
project, and to identify methods to improve future service.
Willdan can offer a computer-aided design package using Intergraph or AutoCAD software for design
and drafting, Microsoft Word for word processing, Primavera Expedition for project and construction
management, and Microsoft Project for project scheduling. Willdan has completed numerous designs
with 100 percent CADD drawings for various major projects.
Our designers are equipped with high-speed personal computers that are networked to our servers and
electrostatic plotters. Regional offices are integrated into a Wide Area Network (WAN) by dedicated
high-speed frame -relay data links. Willdan has a T1, high-speed digital connection to the Internet,

which is extended to the staff on Willdan's network.
Our experience with this technology makes it possible for Willdan staff to undertake complex projects
and utilize it to provide an efficient and effective problem -solving approach to each project.
Management Approach
From initial project analysis through final design and construction, Willdan is dedicated to meeting client
needs with the highest standards of service. Willdan has a proven record of delivering a quality product
within budget and on time, achieved because of the following:
■ Strong project management
■ Close communication with clients
■ Sophisticated schedule control
■ Quality control commitment
Willdan employs state-of-the-art technology in solving transportation problems, yet we also understand
the subtleties beyond the technical challenges. We bring to each project a sensitivity to local concerns
and= community issues.
ej��ri kms' c:T y oy
When Willdan is notified of a potential project, the first task will be for the project manager and
appropriate team members to meet with City staff to discuss, in detail, the project, its goals, and its
ultimate outcome. Subsequently, the project manager will meet with in-house staff to develop a work
program specifically suited to the City's needs.
The following is an outline of the typical scope of work for a representative street improvement project.
Naturally, the scope of work would be expanded or reduced depending on specific project needs. It is
understood that depending on the type of project, additional meetings and/or submittals may be
required. Projects such as widenings with right-of-way acquisition, installation of raised medians,
intersection modifications, landscaping, etc., typically require a number of conceptual alignments for
review prior to final approval, as compared to a typical street resurfacing project. Upon identification of
a specific project, a detailed scope of work will be provided for the City's review and approval.
Engineering Investigation
1. Attend a pre -design meeting with City representatives to review the project, in detail, and determine
requirements and procedures for design, ongoing review, and coordination.
2. Assemble and review available information pertinent to the project, including existing survey data,
as -built improvement plans, traffic data, utility information, existing pavement section information,
and other available record data.
3. Perform preliminary field reconnaissance, including photography for an overall perspective on field
conditions, record general pavement conditions and special deterioration problems, and assess
applicability of various rehabilitation strategies.
4. In consultation with City representatives, determine the City's specific requirements concerning
street crown, pavement lifespan, preferred rehabilitation strategies, and cost limitations.
Surveying
1. A planimetric survey will be performed to identify all existing features, objects, and obstructions,
including existing curb and gutter, cross gutters, medians, planters, meters, signs, vaults,
manholes, survey monuments, driveways, etc.
W1 LLDAN 13 City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Engineering Stattmwii of Qualifications for Public Works` Ertg'ineo ring services
2. Elevations of features will be determined by ground survey. For street -type projects, full street
sections will be taken at 25 -foot stations (quarter stations) and at all control or critical points, such
as BCR, ECR, center of intersection, catch basins, etc., and will include, at a minimum, elevations
of the following:
■ Centerlines, at median curbs; at 10 -foot intervals from the centerline on both sides; and at any
grade breaks between the 10 -foot intervals; lips of gutters, and/or edges of pavement, flow lines
and top of curbs; right-of-way; and 15 feet behind right-of-way and 20 feet at driveways.
3. Identify and locate existing street monuments by either centerline ties or by inspection of each
intersection. Provide survey ties to find centerline monuments that have no ties.
4. Perform field measurements to define and to mark, at the time of design, locations of pavement to
be patched, reconstructed, or repaired prior to overlay and record for plotting on plans. Field
measurements will be provided by the same experienced pavement engineer who determined the
overlay thickness.
5. Perform field measurements to record locations of existing traffic features and controls to be
restored.
Engineering Design
1. Using the City's choice of either Intergraph MicroStation or AutoCAD software, develop base
drawings and preliminary plans at horizontal scale 1"=40' for the proposed project area.
2. Develop overlay strategies, based on optional costs, client preferences, and other miscellaneous
constraints.
3. Develop preliminary signing, striping, and (where necessary) loop replacement plans, at horizontal
scale 1"=40' and vertical scale of V=4', as applicable, using City -selected software. The pians will
be prepared using the City's design criteria, as well as Caltrans standard plans and specifications.
4. Develop preliminary traffic signal and traffic signal modification plans (where necessary), at a
horizontal scale 1 "=20', using City -selected software. The plans will be prepared using the City's
design criteria, as well as Caltrans standard plans and specifications.
5. For storm drain -type projects, prepare drainage study, including hydrology calculations and maps in
accordance with Los Angeles County Flood Control District criteria to evaluate the size of the
proposed storm drain.
6. Prepare preliminary horizontal and vertical storm drain alignments. Alignment will be set to minimize
utility relocation and traffic disruption.
7. Prepare preliminary hydraulic calculations. Hydraulics will be prepared using WSPG/Storm Plus.
The hydraulic grade line will be set to minimize mainline sizes while permitting the efficient
functioning of catch basins.
8. Develop typical cross sections for the street improvements, including details of cold planning and
overlay to maintain drainage and median curb heights.
9. Prepare typical work area traffic control plans for use during project construction. A typical work
area traffic control plan at V=40' will be prepared and include advance signing, transitions,
delineation, and signing in the vicinity of the current work area, provisions for adjacent site access,
intersection controls, and transitions back to existing conditions.

Continued Sea Bluff Area Permit Parking Assessment, City of Rancho Palos Verdes,
California. Willdan performed a parking study in response to resident concerns
regarding parking intrusion from an adjacent resort by users of nearby walking trails
going to the bluffs and/or beach. The purpose of the study was to assess the
magnitude, extent, and sources of the parking intrusion and to evaluate the
effectiveness of permit parking and other possible measures to address the residents'
concerns and improve traffic safety. A parking survey consisting of a license plate
survey and an origin and destination (O/D) study was performed to assess the level
and source of parking intrusion on five affected residential streets. In order to be as
unobtrusive as possible, Willdan introduced an innovative method of performing the
O/D survey by placing video cameras at strategic locations — allowing pedestrians to
be tracked from where they parked to their destinations and vice versa. The cameras
provided destination clues based upon how the pedestrians were dressed (i.e., resort
employees in uniforms). The survey results generally supported the residents' claims;
however, they also revealed that many of those parked on the streets were visiting
residents. The results indicated that most of the others were related to the resort and
not to trail users or beach goers. Based upon the study's findings, various permit
parking options, as well as other potential actions, were presented and recommended
actions were provided. The study methodologies, analyses, findings, and
recommendations were summarized in a report and presented to the City's Traffic
Safety Committee.
