AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR
THE HAWTHORNE BLVD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Award a professional services agreement to lteris for preparation of design
plans for the Hawthorne Blvd Traffic Signal Synchronization Project for an
not-to-exceed amount of $65,470;
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program includes a project to synchronize and coordinate the
traffic signals along Hawthorne Blvd for improved traffic progression and increased
safety. The total project cost of $790,502 is primarily funded by Federal Highway
Safety Improvement (HSIP) funds and partially funded with a local match. The project
will synchronize 7 signalized intersections including:
• Hawthorne Blvd at Palos Verdes Drive West
• Hawthorne Blvd at Vallon Drive
• Hawthorne Blvd at Dupre Drive
• Hawthorne Blvd at Crest Road
• Hawthorne Blvd at Seamount Drive/Eddinghill Road
• Hawthorne Blvd at Granvia Altamira/Ridgegate Drive
• Hawthorne Blvd at Grayslake Road/Highridge Road
4-1
The intersection of Hawthorne Blvd at Indian Peak Road is not included in the project
because a portion of that intersection is in the City of Rolling Hills Estates.
Consequently, the intersection of Hawthorne Blvd at Blackhorse Road was not included
due to the jurisdictional interruption and lack of continuity with the other intersections. A
project map is included in the Appendix.
Funding for the project is allocated in phases. Table 1 outlines the funding phases and
corresponding amounts:

$790,502
In an effort to improve efficiency and capitalize on construction activities, staff will
include with this project, communications connectivity from Hesse Park and Ryan Park
to City Hall by incorporating dedicated fiber optic lines and conduit within the project
improvement alignment along Hawthorne Blvd. Including this work with the current
project will enhance and improve information accessibility to our residents, provide
direct communications between the City facilities and result in cost savings to the City if
we implement this work now. The cost for this additional design work ($4,970) is
included in the consultant's proposal and will not be reimbursed by the grant.
Staff's recommendation will authorize the design phase only.
DISCUSSION
Staff solicited proposals from qualified Traffic Engineering and ITS Design firms that
have experience with signal synchronization projects. Proposals from two firms were
received and evaluated using the Quality-Based Selection (QBS) process, which entails
a selection process based on qualifications and performance.
As a result of the evaluation process, staff is recommending the professional services
of lteris to function as consultants to the City providing technical expertise for
preparation of the project plans specifications and a cost estimate.
lteris has provided similar transportation engineering services to agencies including the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Cities of Buena Park, Corona,
Fountain Valley, Irvine and Newport Beach. Additionally, lteris is currently on the City's
on-call list for traffic engineering services. Their experience is extensive and their work
comes highly recommended.
CONCLUSION
Adopting staff's recommendations will authorize lteris to initiate design of the
Hawthorne Blvd Traffic Signal Synchronization project.
4-2
ALTERNATIVE
The alternative action is to reject the received proposals and re-solicit from other firms
for the needed services. This alternative will likely result in project delays and potential
increased costs. Further, the alternative action could result in loss of future federal
funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action will not result in an impact to the FY 2012-2013 budget.
Funding for the Hawthorne Blvd Traffic Signal Synchronization Project is included in the
Traffic Improvements program of the adopted budget.

I. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND QUALllY ASSURANCE
lteris strongly believes that excellent project management is essential in the successful completion of
any project. Successful completion does not only mean finishing the project, but also completing the
project to the client's satisfaction within budget and schedule. Our proposed Project Manager, Mr.
Bernard Li, will ensure an efficient and coordinated project development process, delivery of a high
quality product, and deployment of the project components within budget and on schedule. This can be
-
achieved by good initial planning at the onset of the
project, followed by close monitoring the progress of
each task and sub-task on a regular basis, and
making necessary corrective actions should issues
arise.
As part of the Project Management task, Mr. Li will
schedule and attend regular meetings with City staff
and prepare and present status reports. He will also
be available to City staff should specific questions
arise throughout the duration of the project, or for
special meetings to discuss the project with other
stakeholders. Mr. Li also has extensive experience on numerous similar projects, and is committed to
being available to City staff for the entirety of the project.
PROJECT MEETINGS
Shortly after receipt of Notice to Proceed, a project kickoff meeting with the City will be initiated and
attended by Mr. Li and lteris' key staff. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce team members,
establish communication protocol, present project schedule, review scope of work and obtain pertinent
data from the City. The meeting will also ensure that participants understand and support the goals of
the project and the plan to achieve them.
In addition to the kickoff meeting, lteris will discuss the project progress monthly or during regular
meetings with the City -the forum for this meeting will be at the discretion of the City Project Manager.
Mr. Li will summarize current activities, discuss concerns, report on milestones, evaluate future
technical and financial requirements, and obtain feedback from the City. These meetings are planned to
promote open communication between the City and lteris.
lteris also strives to ensure that meeting notes are developed after every meeting, which capture the
items covered and decisions made. Once the meeting has been adjourned, a draft copy of the meeting
notes will be submitted to the City's Project Manager for review and approval prior to disbursement to
the meeting attendees.

Hawthorne Boulevard Signal Synchronization Project Exhibit "B"
Another key component of a successful project is Quality Control. lteris' number one goal is the
production of top quality products for clients. This Figure 1-Quality Control/ Quality Assurance Flowchart
is something that is kept in mind by employees at
all times. It does not just apply to quality control
for design plans or reports -something that has
been standard procedure at lteris for many years;
but rather relates to all aspects of lteris staff jobs
and professional careers. As a firm and as
individuals, lteris always strives for excellence.

Superior technical quality is initiated through
sound study and design procedures along with
appropriate design review to ensure compliance
with applicable design standards and accepted
engineering practice. Technical quality is impacted
significantly by appropriate staffing and ensured
through appropriate quality control reviews by
experienced, but otherwise uninvolved staff.

Mr. Scott Carlson, P.E., Principal-in-charge and
Senior Advisor, will also be responsible for the •.
overall Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA)
aspect of this project. Within this role, he will
develop an internal QC/QA team to review the
products prior to delivery to the City for review
and approval. In addition to the responsibilities
previously listed, as project manager, Mr. Bernard
Li will work closely with Mr. Carlson during project
execution so that he is aware of project deadlines
as well as expected delivery dates of the individual
products. Figure 1 to the right illustrates our QA/QC flowchart.
As an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 (Quality
Management Program) certified firm, lteris gets audited annually and
certificate renewed every three years. With this certification, lteris is
recognized as having established and applied a quality system for the design
and implementation of all transportation engineering projects. This project is
no exception. lteris staff will implement appropriate quality control
procedures, carry out independent reviews for all key deliverables, and strictly

PROJECTOF THE YEAR
A WARD TRAFFIC
CONGESTION/MIT/GA TION
The ATMS Master Plan outlined the phased deployment of the
Corona ATMS to aid the City in pursuing project funding. This
Master Plan developed by lteris followed a system engineering
approach that employed an iterative process in assessing the
City's need and mapping those needs to system solutions. As
part of the Master Plan effort, lteris researched technologies
for IP-addressable cameras, changeable message signs, system
detectors, traffic management centers, traffic signal systems,
video detection and Gigabit Ethernet network. lteris also assisted
the City in obtaining $2.8M in funding to support the design and construction of the Phase 1 project.
The Phase 1 design project upgraded over 60 City-intersections and 14 Caltrans-intersections to Model
2070 controllers; implemented 13 IP CCTV cameras; integrated the existing Vantage video detection
system to IP network; and implemented a Gigabit Ethernet communication system supported by new
fiber optic cable. The City manages the ATMS system from the new Corona TMC which was also
designed and implemented as part of this project. The TMC implementation included the procurement
and integration of QuicNet/4 as the traffic signal system that places both City and Caltrans signals on the
same system for regional traffic responsive operation, a first in California. The Phase 1 project also

implemented the center-to-center Caltrans-Corona lntertie for the
exchange of surveillance video and traffic data between the two
agencies.
The project also involved institutional coordination to integrate the
Caltrans traffic signals into the City's traffic responsive signal
system. lteris was instrumental in the consensus building efforts
that include a MOU between the two agencies. {Project Budget:

implemented into the City's QuicNet system and into various Agency controllers and field fine-tuned.
Timing effectiveness was determined through various operational and emissions measures of
effectiveness calculated through travel time and delay studies. (Project Budget: $449,988)
Corona ATMS Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring Project
In August 2011, the City of Corona selected lteris to provide on-call operations, maintenance and
monitoring support for the Corona ATMS. Already having the experience in staffing TMCs during major
planned and unplanned events, lteris will provide these services, as-needed, 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. The services will center on providing technical support to operate, maintain and monitor the
entire Corona ATMS systems, including: QuicNet Pro traffic signal system, traffic signal controllers, CCTV
Camera system, video detection system (VDS), DMS system, Ethernet Network and TMC Hardware.
lteris will provide these services through a combination of staffing the
Corona TMC during key events as well as remote staffing from lteris'
TMC (inset), located in lteris' Santa Ana headquarters. lteris has
implemented a VPN connection to the Corona TMC that allows lteris to
provide key support services from lteris' office, resulting in costs savings
to the City. When necessary or warranted, lteris will provide on-site
services at the Corona TMC or the field to conduct maintenance and

Hawthorne Boulevard Signal Synchronization Project Exhibit"B"
• Deployment and integration of the Adaptive Traffic Control System {ATCS) developed by the City
of Los Angeles at 165 intersections in the City of Long Beach
• Coordination with six agencies:
o City of Long Beach
o Caltrans
o Los Angeles County
o City of Bellflower
o City of Signal Hill
o City of Lakewood
• Design, integration and testing of a system detection network to support the "Adaptive"
algorithms of the ATCS
• Design and integration of a new communication system to meet the bandwidth requirements of
the ATCS, CCTV cameras and changeable message signs
• Design and integration of a hybrid traffic signal controller deployment with over 50 new 2070
traffic controllers and 114 legacy 170 controllers
• Deployment of 2070 controllers at Caltrans Diamond Ramp locations along three different
freeways -91, 605 and 405 Freeway
• Improved traffic operations through design of new traffic signal phasing and efficient use of
detection operations
• Review and repair of all detection operations to ensure efficient traffic signal operations
The complexity of this project involved the state-of-the-practice traffic control system integrated on a
hybrid communication infrastructure of new single-mode fiber optics communication ring and back-
bone, Ethernet on existing twisted-pair interconnect, analog serial communication on existing twisted-
pair interconnect, and wireless communications. This required extensive expertise on the lteris Team
and a close working relationship with both the communications contractor and the City of Long Beach
maintenance staff.
Throughout the deployment of the project, many communication issues were identified and resolved
through close collaboration of the lteris Staff, the contractor and the City of Long Beach maintenance.
Communication faults with the existing twisted-pair interconnect were identified and repaired by the
lteris Integration Team. The problems encountered actually existed before the project began but were
unknown to the City staff and the lteris design team. The assumption was made during the design of
the project that all existing communication cables that were being used by the existing traffic system
were in good working order. However, not all communication pairs were required for the legacy traffic
system and thus, not all pairs were maintained which was identified during the integration phase of the
project.
Additionally, design improvements were identified with the new fiber network deployment and
implemented resulting in improved communication network performance and construction cost savings.
These improvements resulted in providing connectivity to additional City departments and outside
agencies which provided cost savings to the City. These departments and agencies included:
1. Long Beach Transit Agency
2. Long Beach Gas Department
3. Long Beach Water Department
4. Long Beach Emergency Operations Center

The City of Westminster has retained the
services of lteris to perform the design and
integration of the Phase 3-5 ITS deployment.
Phase 3-5 includes the design of 42 additional
CCTV locations, and integration into the TMC.
lteris is .currently completing Phase 2 which
included complete design of the City-wide
Gigabit Ethernet communications system, as
well as design/integration of the TMC with
McCain Quicnet/2006, 64 2070 controller
changeouts, 13 CCTV, and 13 video detection
units. Phase 3-5 will complete full deployment
of the CCTV plan throughout the City, and
provide surveillance at every signalized intersection within the City. Once design is complete, lteris will
then fully integrate control and operation into the TMC which will be deployed as part ofthe Phase 2.
Phase 2 of the project expands on the Phase 1 improvements with the installation of approximately
eight miles of new fiber optic communications, 12 new video detection systems and 12 new CCTV
camera systems. The project also involves Citywide Ethernet upgrades, the replacement of existing 820
and 820A traffic signal controllers with Model 2070 traffic signal controller upgrades at 58 of the City's
64 signalized intersections, new signal timing plans for all 64 City-owned signalized intersections, and
the replacement of the City's existing VMS-330 system with a new QuicNet traffic signal system.
As part of this Phase, lteris is also assisting the City with the complete upgrade and relocation of the
existing TMC. The new TMC will be located in a larger area of the Westminster City Hall and will house a
new video wall, new workstations and new computer hardware. The construction and integration of the
TMC equipment will be completed by lteris.
Phase 1 involved the installation of fiber optic communications along three major arterials in the City,
install additional video detection systems and install CCTV camera systems.
lteris is responsible for all project components, including design, procurement, installation, testing and
integration of the needed equipment, and training of the City staff for operation of the new system. The
only item of exception is the communication system to be constructed by others under contract with
the City. lteris' responsibilities include scheduling, monitoring, and inspection of all construction
activities for the project. lteris has sole responsibility for project delivery, on schedule and within
budget for a turnkey completion.:

lteris has served as the consultant for the City
of Newport Beach on three ITS projects,
including the Master Plan and Phase 1 Project
in 2007, the Phase 2 & 3 Project in 2008, the
Phase 4 & 7 Project in 2009 and the Phase 5
project (ongoing). The Communications
Master Plan detailed the upgrade of the
current leased Tl lines and VMS-330 traffic
signal system with 820 traffic signal controllers
to a combination of fiber optic cable and
microwave radio supported by a new CenTracs
traffic signal system and ASC/3 traffic signal
controllers. The Communications Master Plan
also detailed the deployment of ITS strategies
including CCTV cameras and a new Traffic Management Center.
Based on the details of the Master Plan, lteris has completed the PS&E for four ITS projects. The
projects replace the existing twisted pair cable with fiber optic cable, upgrade the 820 traffic signal
controllers with ASC/3 controllers, and deploy Cohu CCTV cameras. To date, approximately 90 of the
City's 120 signalized intersections have been upgraded as part of the four ITS Projects and
approximately 23 CCTV cameras have been deployed.
In addition to the design, the project also includes the analysis of signalized intersections encompassing
each phase {95 signals total for all phases) for coordination timing during the AM, midday, PM and
Saturday {Phase 1 only) peak periods. This analysis includes data collection (average daily traffic and
peak period turning movement counts with pedestrian and bicycle); review of the. existing conditions;
review of the existing actuated settings for coordinated and non-coordinated periods; and generating
the optimum cycle lengths, offset and splits for each study intersection. Implementation is conducted
by lteris staff during off-peak hours at the City's Traffic Management Center {TMC) in the CenTracs
central system. Fine-tuning of the proposed coordination plans is completed in the field during the
hours of coordination. Any modifications made during fine-tuning are documented for the final report.
Furthermore, lteris has conducted two days of signal timing training, including basic phasing to
implementation and fine-tuning using Centracs and Synchro, to City staff.

IV. PROJECT APPROACH AND WORK SCOPE
This project will provide a new fiber-optic communications system at seven (7) intersections along
Hawthorne Boulevard between Highridge Road and Palos Verdes Drive West (PVDW), and upgrade the
pedestrian signal heads to "countdown" type at three (3) intersections.
Once completed, not only will this project serve as the first step for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to
possess its own state-of-the-art fiber optic communications network to connect 50% of the City's traffic
signals (7 out of 14), but it will also provide future connections to two of the City's parks, Fred Hesse
Community Park and Robert E. Ryan Community Park, adjacent to Hawthorne Boulevard within the
project limits.
Existing Roadway Characteristics
Hawthorne Boulevard is the main arterial in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, covering 4.8 miles from the
City's northeastern boundary (just north of Blackhorse Drive) to PVDW. Seven of the City's 14 traffic
signals are located along the proposed project area of Hawthorne Boulevard. The Average Daily Traffic
(ADT) along Hawthorne Boulevard ranges from 13,600 to 35,000 vehicles.
The primary traffic along this route is comprised of residents traveling to and from work, school and
other daily activities. Hawthorne Boulevard is surrounded by neighborhoods and housing developments;
serves as the main route to the 405 and 110 freeways; and provides the primary point of access to four
schools, two parks, and one of the City's major shopping centers.
Existing Hardware
lteris has conducted a thorough pre-proposal field review to identify existing conditions along the
corridor. Table 3 provides a summary of the existing controller and communication infrastructure.
Table 3 -Hawthorne Boulevard Corridor Existing Controller and Cabinet Inventory
1 Hawthorne Boulevard at Highridge Drive 170E 332 LACO-lR
2 Hawthorne Boulevard at Granvia Altamira 170E 332 LACO-lR
3 Hawthorne Boulevard at Eddinghill Drive 170E 337 LACO-lR
4 Hawthorne Boulevard at Crest Road 170E 332 BiTran 200

6 Hawthorne Boulevard at Vallon Drive 170E 332 LACO-lR
7 Hawthorne Boulevard at PVDW 170E 332 LACO-lR
As shown in Table 3, all seven project intersections currently have Type 170E controllers. However,
while five intersections have the standard Type 332 cabinets, two currently have the smaller Type 337
cabinets that may need to be upgraded to Type 332 to house the additional fiber equipment.

The scope for this project is to design a new 48-strand fiber-optic communications system along
Hawthorne Boulevard between Highridge Road and Palos Verdes Drive West (PVDW), and upgrade the
pedestrian signal heads to "countdown" type at three (3) intersections.
The following Scope of Work was developed based on lteris' understanding of the City's existing
infrastructure and field equipment, requirements as set forth in the RFP, discussions with City staff, and
experience on similar projects.
Task 0. Project Management
lteris strongly believes that excellent project management is essential in the successful completion of
any project. Successful completion does not only mean finishing the project but also completing the
project to the client's satisfaction within budget and on schedule. During the course of this project,
lteris will follow the project management methodology and maintain the proposed meetings as detailed
in the sections below.
Project Management Methodology
lteris has a strong history of successful projects. Through many years of experience, lteris has
developed a methodology that has proven effective in measuring progress, anticipating problems,
reacting quickly to changes in the requirements and maintaining schedule integrity. lteris' project
management is designed with checks and balances that have resulted in an impressive track record of
successful projects. Project management objectives are developed to:
• Provide a complete and comprehensive technical description and work definition for the entire
project;
• Develop a viable, comprehensive cost and schedule plan that reflects the planned performance
of the work;
• Establish a comprehensive control system that provides the necessary status information to the
lteris project team and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes;
• Identify risk areas early and initiate corrective action;
• Communicate information to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes on a regular and timely basis; and
• Ensure thorough documentation through an effective Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC) process.
Performance Monitoring:
Monitoring of technical performance, schedules and costs using a combination of automated and
manual techniques provides an early indication of any deviation from planned performance. The earlier
a deviation from the plan can be identified, the easier it is to implement the required corrective actions.
The following activities are performed:
•
•
Monitor and control performance with respect to schedule performance and analyze the impact
of delays and cost alternatives. Actual project performance is periodically compared to planned
project performance to identify deviations or areas of concern.
Facilitate the assessment of work progress in terms of project milestones, work completed,
percent in process and dependence on future project tasks. The Project Manager, Mr. Scott
Carlson, will frequently hold informal discussions with individual project personnel on specific
tasks in addition to the regularly scheduled project team meetings. In addition, a detailed
Page I 14 lTERIS. ..r><J_.....__
4-39
Proposal to Provide Engineering Design Services
Hawthorne Boulevard Signal Synchronization Project Exhibit "B"
project schedule will be created which assists in the tracking of schedule versus percent
complete.
Project Kick-Off & Coordination Meetings:
Shortly after receipt of the Notice to Proceed, a project kick-off meeting will take place, which will be
attended by representatives from the lteris team, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and other
Stakeholder Partners as appropriate. The purpose of this meeting will be to ensure that participants
understand and support the goals and the plan to achieve them. The design schedule and items that
may expedite the design process will also be discussed at the kick-off meeting.
Progress Reports:
Mr. Li will submit monthly written progress reports to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. These reports
will summarize activities conducted during the previous calendar month and bring up any potential
issues with respect to technical and contractual items. Reports can be discussed in joint teleconference
and/or face-to-face meetings with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes -the forum of which will be at the
discretion of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes Project Manager.
Project Quality Assurance I Quality Control fQNQC):
lteris' ability to implement high-quality deliverables is a result of an adherence to a quality assurance
program that ensures accuracy, product usability, and an overall commitment to product excellence and
user satisfaction. The lteris Project Manager ensures the team commitment to these objectives by
identifying goals at the outset of the project and monitoring the product implementation and delivery
process. lteris strives to improve the processes and tools used to provide high-quality products and
services.
Task 1. Inventory of Existing Conditions
The framework for a viable and efficient design begins with a solid field investigation effort. The new
comprehensive field investigation approach adapted by lteris at the outset of the project will greatly
influence the quality of design package prepared in the office, thus eliminating costly design delays and
construction change orders in the future. With this key understanding in mind, lteris is committed to
utilize the years of accumulated knowledge of the company and its highly experienced staff in the
accumulation and assimilation of pertinent field data for this project. All information gathered for the
project will go through a comprehensive field verification process and upon arrival to the office will go
through rigorous quality control process prior to design application.
Prior to commencement of plan preparation, the field investigation will be conducted at the corridor
proposed for fiber optic installation, including the seven signalized intersections within the project
corridor. The purpose of the field investigation will be to verify and/or collect data on existing field
conditions to facilitate plan preparation and identify potential utility conflicts prior to start of design
activities. In addition, the field investigation will enable lteris to identify early on, at the start of the
design process, all physical constraints, existing substandard and non-compliant street features which if
not identified early on, will present design challenges as the project moves forward. In fact, as detailed
in lteris' proposal, lteris staff have already initiated some preliminary field investigate of the project
elements.
The field investigation will include a thorough reconnaissance of the locations to familiarize the design
team with the characteristics unique to each location. To facilitate the investigation, field engineers will
follow a thorough field reconnaissance guidelines established by lteris. In addition, the field
investigation checklist (Table 4) devised by lteris and tailored to meet the project's needs, will be
completed during the course of the investigation and filed with other project documentation. Prior to
initiating the field work, members of all field teams will collectively conduct the field investigation at a
Page I 15 lTERis· ......,.J-----

Prior to conducting the field investigation, all available existing information will be obtained from the
City. Information may include topographic surveys, aerials, GIS files, traffic signal as-builts, signing and
striping as-builts, timing charts, City-owned utility plans, proposed signal, geometric and fiber optic
plans within the project limits. The information represented on the survey will be verified for accuracy
and include discrepancies noted during the field investigation.
A photo log of each location and line segment will be taken which will include photos on all approaches
and at the intersection. This information will be extremely useful during the design process and will
significantly reduce and in some cases eliminate unnecessary revisits to the site.
In addition to the thorough field investigations conducted by lteris, we will also retain the services of
KDM Meridian to perform surveying and prepare aerial base map along Hawthorne Boulevard between
Highridge Road and Crest Drive. The surveyed base map for the segment between Crest Drive and
PVDW will be obtained from the City through a recent sidewalk improvement project.
Task 2. Detailed Design -Plans, Specifications and Estimates
The detailed Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) design will commence immediately after the
field work is completed and the base maps are created. lteris will complete the PS&E at 90% and 100%
and final submittals. The design will conform to: State of California Department of Transportation
Standard Plans and Specifications (latest edition); the 2012 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD); the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as State of California Access
Page I 16 lTERis·

Compliance Manual.
At each progress level, lteris will submit the PS&E package to the City for review and comments. lteris
will incorporate client comments into the documents and together with a matrix indicating the
comments and responses, will submit to the City for the next round of reviews. Technical specifications
of all items, infrastructure, fiber optic cables, hardware, devices and equipment will be prepared in
accordance with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes general specification requirements. Engineering
estimates for the construction of the project will be prepared using the most recent unit cost data
including the most recent construction bid items. Final PS&E will be submitted in an electronic format in
addition to the hard copy. Design plans will be prepared and submitted in English units with AutoCAD
software. Specifications will be prepared and submitted in Microsoft Word. Engineering estimates will
be prepared and submitted in Microsoft Excel.
The following subtasks summarize the proposed improvements and detail the activities required for the
Detailed Design task.
TASK 2.1: INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
Intersection Improvements -Design Elements:
Detailed design activities for the project intersections will be based on the following design elements as
approved during Conceptual design:
• Upgrades of 24 pedestrian signal heads. Existing pedestrian signal heads will be upgraded with
new "countdown" ped heads at the intersections of Hawthorne/Highridge; Hawthorne/Crest;
and Hawthorne/PVDW.
• The individual cabinet upgrades at each intersection will be shown as 10-scale blowups on the
40-scale communication plans.
• Optional task: Upgrades of 2 controller cabinets. Cabinets will be upgraded with new 332
cabinets and foundations at the intersections of Hawthorne/Eddinghill and Hawthorne/Dupre.
TASK 2.2: COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Communication Improvements -Design Elements:
Detailed design activities for the communication system improvements will be based on the following
requirements and design elements:
• New 3" conduit (preliminary recommendation) along the entire corridor
• 48-strand trunk fiber optic cable along the entire corridor
• 6-strand drop cable (preliminary recommendation) to each signal controller cabinet within the
project limits
• Splice vaults at each signalized intersections, and at the entrance of the two parks for future
connections to the park's administration buildings. The two parks are: Fred Hesse Community
Park and Robert E. Ryan Community Park
• Fiber patch panels, Ethernet cards and switches in all 7 controller cabinets
The detailed design of the communication improvements will be developed at 40-scale using 10-scale
blowups for the individual cabinet upgrades. All conduits containing fiber optic cable will include a
trace wire that can also serve as future pull wire. The final PS&E for communications improvements will
be included in the total PS&E package of the project.
TASK 2.3: FIBER ASSIGNMENTS
Fiber Assignment -Design Elements:
The communication design will include comprehensive fiber assignment schematics that show in detail
Page I 17
4-42
Proposal to Provide Engineering Design Services
Hawthorne Boulevard Signal Synchronization Project Exhibit "B"
the fiber strands assignment for each use from every device. The design will provide fiber assignment
schematics showing the fiber strand assignments by color/strand number and their routing. Since the
communication architecture will be Ethernet/IP on fiber, the same strand of fiber will also be used for
other devices deployed at the signalized intersection, including future CCTV cameras or any other ITS
devices along the corridor.
A sample of the fiber assignment plan prepared by lteris for the detailed design of ATMS 4a/b project in
the City of Santa Monica is shown in Figure 3. The fiber assignment plans will be submitted in
combination with the design in Task 2.1 and 2.2.
