Re: Request for Proposal Professional Engineering Services, Calle Tampico
Drainage Improvements, Project No. 20115-112c
Dear Mr. Wimmer:
The City's plan of moving forward with the drainage improvements for this area is truly a
welcome relief to local residents of the City of La Quinta who will surely benefit from a safe
and significantly improved drainage condition along this segment of Calle Tampico. To ensure
success of this project, the City has carefully developed a complete and well -thought-out scope
of work. However, that is only one part of the solution. Selecting a very qualified and
competent consultant team to "close out the deal" is another. ACI can offer you that
consultant team.
We have assembled a team of highly qualified professionals with superior drainage experience
and knowledge of public agency processes. More importantly, as your Project Manager and
Principal -In -Charge, I'm ready to bring my extensive drainag experience, knowledge and
training to this important project. ACI's sub -consultants, Ze Altum Group (Altum) and LOR
Geotechnical, Inc. (LOR) have worked with us on numerous projects in the past several years.
Altum will be providing the QC/Value Engineering/Constructability Review and Field
Surveying/Mapping services while LOR will be providing geotechnical support. If it becomes
necessary, SafeProbe and KOA can be added to our team to provide sub -surface investigations
(pot -holing) and traffic control services, respectively. We've added their fees as a budget item
in the fee proposal in the event the City decides to pursue their services.
Our recent work experience with preparing the preliminary drainage study for the Fire Access
Maintenance District #1 (Indian Wells Country Club) in the City of Indian Wells will provide us
with invaluable knowledge and insight of the City of La Quinta's goals and expectations because
that study was prepared based on the rare storm event that occurred on September 8, 2014,
which flooded several homes surrounding the golf course and it happens to be the same storm
that caused major flooding in Calle Tampico and nearby areas in the City of La Quinta.
Additionally, we realize the importance of meeting the 65% plan submittal milestone for the
Village Circulation Project sometime in March 2018. We prepared our preliminary project
2155 Chicago Avenue, Suite 301• Riverside CA 92507♦ 951.300.1431 • 951.300.1435 FAX
schedule to make sure that our 65% plan submittal coincides with the Village's plans.
If selected for the interview, we will meet with you and present our project approach and work
plan that illustrates our expertise and level of commitment. Thank you for considering ACI and
we are looking forward to assisting you in this very important project. I'll be your contact
person for the remainder of the selection process. You can reach me on my cell at 909-709-
4393. Our work address is: 2155 Chicago Avenue, Suite 301, Riverside, CA 92507.

B.I GENERAL UNDERSTANDING
The City of La Quinta hired a consultant to perform a drainage focused study on five (5) specific areas of the
city based on a major storm event that occurred on September 8, 2014. One of those study areas is Calle
Tampico/Avenida Bermudas, which is located as part of the "South Drainage Area". The September 2014
event was determined to be equivalent to a 500 -year storm event. The City's consultant developed a
drainage mitigation and alternative plan to provide flood protection for the five areas in the city from a 500 -
year storm. However, due to limited funding, the City would like to further evaluate the results of the
focused study and develop drainage alternative solutions based on a 150 -year storm event. The City expects
the Consultant to update the XPSWMM model for the "South Drainage Area" based on the 150 -year rainfall
value. Additionally, the City would like for the Consultant to design a storm drain in Calle Tampico
between Avenida Bermudas and Desert Club Drive, designated as Line SA 1-2 of the drainage focused study,
that will allow for at least one (1) 12 -foot -wide "dry lane" in each direction along Calle Tampico during a
150 -year storm event. The City defines a "dry lane" as a travelled roadway lane that holds a maximum of
three (3) inches of storm water to allow for safe vehicular access.
As described in the RFP, several streets in the La Quinta Village (including Calle Tampico) are currently
undergoing redesign that will improve traffic circulation in the area. The project proposes new roundabouts
2
LA
at the intersection of Calle Tampico and Avenida Bermudas and at Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive.
The City intends to include any proposed drainage improvements at these two intersections as part of the
construction of the La Quinta Village circulation project. Since the 65% plans for the circulation project are
anticipated to be completed in March 2018 (with an expected construction date of January 2019), our
preliminary project schedule shows a target completion date for the 65% storm drain plans for Calle
Tampico on March 6, 2018, which is compatible with the anticipated completion date of the Village 65%
improvements plans. It is expected that ACI will be responsible for coordinating the storm design with the
consultant for the La Quinta Village Circulation Project. It is the City's goal to develop a simple, cost
effective design with minimal impacts to the surrounding community. Emphasis will be placed on value
engineering due to limited funding.
ACI has conducted a field investigation and reviewed the City's Focused Drainage Study. We have
preliminarily identified and developed potential drainage solutions for the segment of Calle Tampico
between Avenida Bermudas and Desert Club Drive. One solution involves reducing the width of the existing
landscape median to allow for more flow conveyance on Calle Tampico. Another potential solution is to
modify the roadway section to incorporate a partially inverted cross section as shown on Figure 1. Based
on our preliminary analysis, this inverted street section will increase the flow conveyance capacity of the
existing Calle Tampico by approximately 40 percent. This alternative assumes the reduced cover within the
inverted section of the roadway will not adversely impact the existing utilities. A 6 -inch curb or dike can be
placed along the edge of the median as a traffic safety measure. Additionally, the 12 -foot median can be
landscaped to enhance the roadway aesthetics.

Another alternative, which may be difficult to achieve, is to re -grade and re -landscape the existing grass area
near the Embassy Suites located at the northwest corner of Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive to
function as a retention basin (see Figure 2). This basin will serve as an overflow facility for major storm
7
it
events like a 150 -year event or greater. In order for this alternative to be feasible, the City will have to
acquire a flooding easement over the proposed basin.
These three drainage solutions are conceptual in nature and will need to be explored only with the City's
concurrence. We are confident, however, that other potential and viable solutions will be developed after
conferring with City staff.
B.2: GENERAL APPROACH
ACI's technical approach for this project follows a simple, logical sequence to ensure an efficient
development of a workable plan which will best address the City's objectives. The work plan will allow for a
continuous flow of information to aid in the formulation and refinement of the recommended project.
The following work phases in the design process indicate the sequential information flow and the majority of
the tasks are dependent upon the previous task to continue the plan development. All the tasks identified in
the City's RFP are incorporated in these work phases.
Phase I Project Planning Phase (includes project kick-off meeting)
Phase 2 Initial Engineering Phase
Phase 3 Preliminary Design Phase
Phase 4 Final Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) Phase
We developed a work plan flow diagram to show the sequential arrangement of the proposed work phases
and tasks.
WORK PLAN FLOW DIAGRAM
The Initial Engineering Phase will establish the critical information needed to initiate the preliminary design
phase. All drainage documents and studies including as -built plans will be obtained and reviewed. The
project team will conduct a field investigation with City staff to become familiarize with the existing site
conditions and design issues. This phase will include preparation of the design base map at a scale of 1 "=20'
with I -foot contours showing all relevant existing features (i.e. catch basins, manholes, valves, fire hydrants,
driveways, mail boxes, street lights, traffic signal light poles, etc.). The base map will also show the roadway
centerline and rights-of-way including the existing utilities.
The Preliminary Design Phase will consist of updating the current XPSWMM model for the "South Drainage
Area" using the 150 -year rainfall value, evaluating the various drainage alternatives with supporting
preliminary cost estimates while providing Calle Tampico with one dry lane during the 150 -year storm event
and developing the GAD (storm drain alignment) with the least interruption to traffic flow and minimal
utility conflict. This phase will identify major design issues, as well as various opportunities and constraints,
which will be presented to the City with recommendations for final design. An accurate and thorough
preliminary drainage study will provide for a smoother design process during the final phase of the project.
Upon approval of the preliminary design phase, the PS&E Phase will commence, at which time we will update
the City on the progress of the project, as needed. The geotechnical study will be prepared in support of
the storm drain design in Calle Tampico, between Desert Club Drive and Avenida Bermudas. Should the
city find it necessary, critical utilities will be potholed. Additionally, traffic control plans and SWPPP will be
prepared with the City's concurrence. Coordination meetings will be held if special issues arise. ACI will
coordinate the project with the utility companies and the La Quinta Village Consultant as necessary. We
will provide assistance in acquiring any required approval and/or permits.
B.3: PROIIECT CONTROL
ACI will administer the project in a manner that will ensure its accurate and timely completion. An integral
part of our Project Control is the establishment of close lines of communication between the Project

The Project Planning Phase will include development of the Project Management Plan and Engineering Design
Criteria and Study Objectives Form. The project management plan is a document that describes HOW the
project will be MANAGED while the engineering design criteria and study objectives manual is a guideline of
HOW the project will be PERFORMED. The kick-off meeting will be arranged with City staff to formally
introduce the project team members to the City, review and discuss data exchange, project work plan and
schedule, project issues and opportunities, project communication, QC procedures, and other issues and
information relevant to the project.
The Initial Engineering Phase will establish the critical information needed to initiate the preliminary design
phase. All drainage documents and studies including as -built plans will be obtained and reviewed. The
project team will conduct a field investigation with City staff to become familiarize with the existing site
conditions and design issues. This phase will include preparation of the design base map at a scale of 1 "=20'

which will be presented to the City with recommendations for final design. An accurate and thorough
preliminary drainage study will provide for a smoother design process during the final phase of the project.
Upon approval of the preliminary design phase, the PS&E Phase will commence, at which time we will update
the City on the progress of the project, as needed. The geotechnical study will be prepared in support of
the storm drain design in Calle Tampico, between Desert Club Drive and Avenida Bermudas. Should the
city find it necessary, critical utilities will be potholed. Additionally, traffic control plans and SWPPP will be
prepared with the City's concurrence. Coordination meetings will be held if special issues arise. ACI will
coordinate the project with the utility companies and the La Quinta Village Consultant as necessary. We
will provide assistance in acquiring any required approval and/or permits.
B.3: PROIIECT CONTROL
ACI will administer the project in a manner that will ensure its accurate and timely completion. An integral
part of our Project Control is the establishment of close lines of communication between the Project
M
Manager and City staff and with each key member of the project team. This includes regularly scheduled
project review meetings, usually at the completion of a major work phase. On this project, we will arrange
a minimum of four project review meetings with City staff. ACI team will conduct weekly in-house meetings
to review the status and progress of the project. We will track project budget, cost, and schedule by using
Deltek computer program, which will allow our staff to electronically input timesheets daily and will provide
our project managers with "real time" cost data and budget information. Use of this important Project
Control tool will provide our Project Manager with the ability to keep the project on track.
BA: OUALITY CONTROL & CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW
Quality control inherently starts with the qualifications and experience of the key personnel. The quality
control plan is initiated at the staff/engineer/designer level and progresses up. Each engineer/designer is
required to check their work for completeness and accuracy. Mr. Ceazar Aguilar, our project manager, will
oversee all work, and using our in-house QC procedures and sound engineering judgment based upon his 33
years of experience, will continue to monitor and periodically review the work. In addition to these ongoing
project reviews and checks, review meetings will be conducted by Mr. Aguilar and the overall team at
various milestones during the plan formulation process to allow input and provide discussion of alternatives
and issues. These regular review meetings will be attended by the entire design team. Goals for the
following period will be established at each review meeting, which will guide the technical design process.
Potential problems with alternative solutions or outcome will be quickly identified. Mr. Dale Ross of The
Altum Group will provide the independent QC check and constructability review for the project. Mr.
Aguilar will be responsible for reviewing all submittals prior to agency review.
C. SCOPE OF WORK PROGRAM
This detailed work plan has been prepared based upon our understanding of the project needs through field
review, discussions with consultants, review of the RFP, and our experience on previous similar projects.
Should the City desire to change this work program, any such modifications may be discussed and
negotiated.
PHASE 1.0 — PROJECT PLANNING PHASE
Task 1.1: Proiect Manaimment Plan (Short Form)
ACI will prepare a Project Management Plan (short form version) specific to this project. The form will
outline the project description and objectives, deliverables/milestones and schedule, standards and
procedures.
Task 1.2: Proiect Scooing Meeting
ACI will meet with City staff to formally introduce the project key team members, clarify project design
objectives, review and discuss data exchange, project work plan and schedule, project issues and
opportunities, project communication, QA/QC procedures, and other issues and information relevant to

PHASE 3.0 — PRELIMINARY DESIGN PHASE
Task 3.1: 150 -year Hydrology Study
ACI will review and update the hydrology model (XPSWMM computer software) for the "South Drainage
Area" in conjunction with the February 2016 Drainage Focused Study based on the 150 -year rainfall value.
It is assumed that the Direct Rainfall Model (DRM) will be used for the tributary watershed area. This scope
will include catch basin/inlet hydrology study necessary for sizing the proposed catch basins in Calle Tampico
between Desert Club Drive and Avenida Bermudas. This scope will also update the "South Drainage Area"
hydrology map showing the mainline flow rates within the focused study area and catch basin flow rates
within the project limits.
Task 3.2: Preliminary Drainage Feasibility and Alternative Study
ACI will review and update the hydraulic model (XPSWMM computer software) for the "South Drainage
Area" based on the 150 -year storm flows derived under Task 3.1 to determine the flows that are conveyed
by the existing storm drains and residual flows running on the surface of existing streets, specifically in Calle
Tampico. The results of the flow simulation model will provide an understanding of the required storm drain
needed to convey the residual flows to provide one dry lane on Calle Tampico (in each direction) during a
150 -year storm event. A preliminary drainage feasibility and alternative study will be performed consisting of
a maximum of three drainage alternatives. Each alternative will focus on achieving the City's objective of
providing one dry lane on Calle Tampico (in each direction) and evaluating the maximum flow while
providing flow conveyance within the street right -of way for storm flows greater than the 150 -year event.
A feasibility analysis will be performed, which addresses the project's (1) economic suitability, (2)
constructability, and (3) project duration. A preliminary decision matrix will be prepared for the drainage
alternatives, which identifies the (1) advantages, (2) disadvantages, (3) preliminary construction costs, (4)
design constraints, (5) physical constraints, (6) implementation requirements, (7) flood protection, and (8)
other economic factors including intangible costs.
Task 3.3: Geometric Ao_ oroval Drawing (GAD) - Preliminary Horizontal and Vertical
Alignment Design
ACI will prepare a "Geometric Approval Drawing (GAD)" showing the preliminary horizontal centerline
alignment and profile (invert slope) design for the preferred alternative using the base map prepared under
Task 2.3. ACI will also perform preliminary facility sizing for the proposed drainage facilities using the
WSPG computer program. The results of the WSPG calculations will be compared with the results of the
XPSWMM model. Location and size of proposed catch basins will be preliminarily shown on the GAD. The
exhibit will show cross sections indicating the location of the proposed storm drain relative to the street
centerline and existing storm drain, waterline, sewer line, gas line, etc.
11
Task 3.4: Preliminary Drainage Report (,PDR) Submittal including Preliminary Cost Estimates
ACI will prepare a Preliminary Drainage Report (PDR) summarizing the results of the preliminary drainage
feasibility and alternative study for submittal to the City. This report will include a brief technical narrative,
results of the drainage alternative study, hydrologic and hydraulic back-up calculations, preliminary GAD for
the proposed mainline and laterals including catch basins, cross section, existing utilities, limits of street
reconstruction, preliminary cost estimates, and private property impacts. The PDR will also identify impacts
of the proposed storm drains to existing utilities and improvements. The drawings will be prepared in
AutoCAD.
If necessary, project notification letters will be prepared and submitted to the various utility companies
describing the project scope, potential conflicts and request the utility companies' review for accuracy of
mapped utility locations. This notification letter will include submittal of the initial drainage plans.
PHASE 4.0 - FINAL PS&E (65%, 90%, 100%, AND FINAL MYLAR PLAN SUBMITTAL
MILESTONE)
Prior to initiation of the PS&E phase, ACI will attend a pre -design meeting with City staff to confirm (or
clarify) project design objectives.

Ramon Road Bridge Widening over Whitewater River
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CA
ACI provided a floodplain study utilizing the HEC -RAS computer model for the
Whitewater River from near Dinah Shore Drive Bridge up to near Vista Chino
Drive Low -Water Crossing. The proposed Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP)
project involved widening the existing 4 -lane bridge crossing to a new 6 -lane bridge.
The floodplain study, which encompasses a total reach of approximately 7,000 feet,
was performed based upon the 100 -year and SPF flood events. A pre -project
(existing) and post -project (proposed) floodplain studies were prepared in order to
determine any adverse impact of the proposed bridge and roadway improvements
to the existing golf course immediately upstream of the crossing. A channel scour
analysis was also performed to evaluate the impacts of the proposed bridge
widening improvements to the existing bridge pier and concrete slope paving along
the east and west sides of the Whitewater River. The scour analysis was performed
using the Los Angeles County Flood Control District Methodology and Blench
Regime Equation as required by RCFCD and CVWD, respectively. The proposed
channel improvements consisted of concrete lining along the channel bottom and
within the limits of the bridge section (to protect the existing piers from scour).
Concrete cutoff walls were provided at the upstream and downstream limits of the
proposed channel. Wall transitions were also provided to match up the existing
concrete slope lining of the channel. ACI prepared the Bridge Hydraulics Study
Report and Summary Floodplain Report and other technical reports and plans in
support of the PAED Phase (environmental permitting phase). The project required
plan and study processing for approval through CVWD, RCFC & WCD, Caltrans
District 8, USACOE, and City of Palm Springs. ACI has completed the 65% and
95% submittal milestones of the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) in

Design Engineer
encompassing multiple residential properties in the Indian Wells Country Club
that experienced major flooding from a rare storm event that occurred on
September 8, 2014. The work consisted of developing aerial topographic map,
hydrology studies, floodplain mapping, development of drainage mitigation plan
,
(facility type, location, and sizing), cost estimates, and report preparation. The
hydrology studies were performed based on two rainfall values: (1) the 100 -year
rainfall value shown on NOAA's precipitation map (1.78 inches/hour), and (2)
the actual rainfall value recorded on September 8, 2014 (3.0 inches/hour). The
w
resulting design flow rates associated with the 100 -year rainfall value were used
to preliminarily size the proposed drainage facilities while flow rates generated
by the higher rainfall value were used to prepare the flood hazard maps (in an
attempt to replicate the flooding limits and flow velocities of the 2014 storm'
event) and to identify the required freeboard for the proposed drainage facilities.
_
An alternative drainage study was prepared as part of the drainage mitigation
plan consisting of levees, detention/retention basins, grass lined, concrete lined,
and riprap lined channels, underground pipes and concrete boxes, catch basins,
and desilting basins. ACI prepared preliminary cost estimates for the various
drainage alternatives. The report was submitted and processed through FAMD
#1 and City of Indian Wells. This project required a 3 -month completion date
and ACI delivered the final report 2.5 months after the Notice -to -Proceed was
issued by the City.

Corona Drain Line 46
CITY OF CORONA, CA
ACI (formerly AEI-CASC) was under contract with the Riverside County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District to prepare a hydrology study,
preliminary drainage study, and final Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E)
for the Corona Drain Line 46, Stage I project. Line 46 is a 6,400 -foot long
underground RCP located in East 6th Street, which is a major arterial street in
the north part of the City of Corona. The drainage project crossed 3 major
street intersections (with traffic signal lights) and a railroad track. The 100 -
year design flow ranged from 100 to 600 CFS. Pipe sizes varied from 24 to 90
inches in diameter. A total of 28 catch basins and inlets were designed. Several
utilities were relocated to accommodate the construction of the drainage
system. Some of the design issues that were encountered on the project
include: (1) disruption to businesses during construction, (2) permitting
through BNSF railroad company, (3) existence of an "immovable" fiber-optic
line, and (4) coordination with the various utility companies for the relocation
of their facilities. Our challenge was to complete this project on time amid
these issues. Ceazar Aguilar, who will be your project manager on your
