KOA has decades of experience in Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering similar to the scope of services listed within the RFP General Scope of Services Section. Each project is assigned a Senior Engineer, or Project Manager, to oversee the day-to-day operations of the project. The Project Manager will be responsible for all technical work, productivity, adherence to budget and schedule, invoicing, quality control, single point of contact, and complete accountability to the client. The firm also assigns a Principal to the contract to ensure all resources are available to the Project Manager to complete the agreed upon tasks. A key aspect of a successful project is the ability of the consultant team's project manager and the City project manager to work together both closely and effectively. To facilitate this, KOA's project manager will be responsive to questions and issues that may arise; be responsible for ensuring that the budget and schedule are maintained; and provide support and advice to the City's project manager, as needed. Ms. Guan will be the single point of contact for questions and concerns and will ensure consultant team members are meeting standards for quality of work. Effective project management will include scheduled progress meetings and status updates via phone and e-mail as information becomes available. Status reports will accompany invoices, and summaries of meeting minutes will be provided to the City within one business day. KOA's project manager will maintain a reasonable workload so that she can be responsive and available to the City while maintaining flexibility to deal with changes and adjustments to the project schedule. KOA implements an 8-step project approach for on -call tasks: • Step I: City identifies Traffic Engineering needs • Step 2: KOA reviews information with City • Step 3: KOA prepares Task Proposal, if necessary • Step 4: City and KOA agree to task scope and fees • Step 5: KOA assigns relevant staff • Step 6: KOA performs required services • Step 7: KOA presents/delivers product to City • Step 8: Obtain feedback on performance Perhaps the most frequent occurring need for traffic engineering services relates to requests and inquiries to research changes in traffic control for streets or intersections based upon inquiries by residents, City officials, or other persons. KOA is highly qualified to complete this type of analysis and provide recommendations that will address relevant conditions, resolve the inquiry, and recommend possible changes in traffic control that will facilitate the goals of the City. We are familiar with the requirements identified in FHWA MUTCD and Caltrans MUTCD. The City's inquiries can range from the need for additional traffic controls at intersections (traffic signals, multi -way stops) to the need to address traffic or speeding problems on local streets. Our firm is widely regarded for our ability to provide solutions to these problems that meet the approval of the City and its residents, while remaining within accepted guidelines and established budgets. Many of these studies require the knowledge to assess existing conditions in relation to accepted warrants for new traffic controls. Technical knowledge is important; however, additional skills in facilitation and the ability to generate unique solutions are equally important to this type of task. A. WORK PLAN/APPROACH FOR TRAFFIC DESIGN RELATED TASKS The Project Manager begins each project by refining the exact tasks to be undertaken, contacting other members of the project team, and attending project kickoff meetings with the client to fully understand the project tasks. The Project Manager assigns staff as needed to collect information on existing conditions, and collecting existing printed data such as plans, as-builts or information on future projects that may impact the project site. Our Project Managers CITY OF LA QUINTA I I r KOA CORPORATION PLANNING & ENGINEERING also appoint a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manager who provides an independent check on the quality, accuracy, and constructability of our design documents. Project Managers are responsible for determining percentage of completion, adherence to contracts, billing, and formal project close-out and client satisfaction. Design Plans are taken through 35%, 65%, 90% (if the agency requires) to Final Approved plans that are ready to construct with quality control checks along the way. Below is a typical project flowchart. Utility Coordination R/VVV Impacts �4 - L �1 F Notice Data Review Preliminary z, 5: PreWniiary Plans Final Phuis Construction to and Design Specifications& Specifications • Proceed Base Map Concept s of„N Estimate & Estimate Identify Design Public Outreach Constraints Stakeholders PROJECT INITIATION At the initiation of the project, KOA refines the project scope based on discussions with clients or governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the project and collects any additional specific requirements prior to traffic data collection. Once the scope of the study has been clearly defined, the firm collects any available plans on existing conditions, location of utilities, and other data on the project from responsible jurisdictions. At the same time, the firm also begins field work to carefully document existing roadway, traffic hardware, and other existing conditions. UTILITY COORDINATION The plans show the location of all utilities including those marked or evident in the field, indicated on reference plans, or indicated by utility companies. KOA will distribute the plans and coordinate the design directly with all utility companies or other entities that may have facilities in the vicinity of the site. KOA will make design adjustments to avoid existing utilities as appropriate. Special coordination with the serving electrical utility will be required to provide traffic signal service and utility connections. We will make direct contact with the electrical utilities as required to secure electrical service. SIGNING AND STRIPING PLANS KOA will prepare signing and striping plans to City standards. Plans will show the affected construction area and all affected traffic lane striping. The plans will show the location of all proposed traffic stripes and markings and the proper disposition of all affected existing signs and markings. We will provide any work required to transition the proposed stripes to join with existing stripes on intersection approaches. The final signing and striping plans will be prepared for final plotting on D-sized sheets at 1 "=40'. Plans will be prepared using the standard CAD symbols, line - types, and layers specified by the City. The completed plans will be signed by a KOA, California -registered Civil Engineer. KOA will submit striping plans to the City for their review. KOA will provide final coordination with the City to ensure that they receive the required electronic drawing files for this project. TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN KOA prepares an intersection base plan at I "=20' for each location. The base plan shows centerlines, right-of-way lines, relevant existing or proposed street improvements, utilities of record, and existing traffic controls and improvements. The firm inventories all existing traffic signal poles, equipment, notes and schedules in the field and CITY OF LA QUINTA 12 KOA CORPORATION PLANNING & ENGINEERING shows them on the base plan. KOA designs the proposed new or modified equipment and shows it on the drawing to create a complete traffic signal plan. Each plan will conform to the requirements of the City and will reference the latest edition of the Caltrans' Standard Plans and Specifications. The drawings will be designed in the format required by the City and will include all notes, schedules, and other features required to complete the traffic signal plan. SIGNAL INTERCONNECT Traffic signal interconnect comprises of wired and/or wireless solutions. For the wired solution, it can be fiber optic cable, copper cable, or a combination of both systems. The signal interconnect plan will show all the necessary devices and supporting accessories required to support each mode of communication. For example, the wireless solution, typically transmitted using the Internet Protocol, requires the installation of a managed Ethernet switch housed in the local cabinet and the selection of the optimal location to mount the antennas for maximum signal strength. The infrastructure and device/accessories required to support the copper cable interconnect is a terminal block for cable splicing in the cabinet and size and spacing of pull -boxes ., �. ���••��,�-yam between signals. For the fiber optic cable, the infrastructure may include fiber optic splice enclosure (if required), fiber optic patch panel, fiber optic pigtails, and a fiber termination cabinet. We also recognize that the conduits and related communication facilities may be affected by some traffic signal modifications or installations. This work will be shown in the intersection plan with notes explaining any work that does not appear on the plans. No additional plan sheets are normally anticipated for signal interconnects; however, such sheets can be provided at a suitable scale, if necessary. STREET LIGHTING ANALYSIS Based on our past experience, about twenty percent of potential collisions occur during dusk or nighttime hours. KOA will prepare street light illumination and uniformity calculations using AG132 lighting design software. The calculations will be prepared to meet the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) lighting criteria and Caltrans requirements. This data will be used to determine the initial spacing of the street lights. We will review the placement/location of each light to confirm there is no visible conflict with existing improvements and/or utilities. We will then prepare a detailed construction cost estimate and will meet with the City to discuss the findings prior to design. STREET LIGHTING DESIGN KOA will prepare street lighting design plans to satisfy the illumination requirements of the City. Street lighting plans will be prepared to meet the City's street lighting standards and will reference the latest edition of the Caltrans' Standard Plans and Specifications. The plans will be prepared at I "=40'-scale in Imperial units. All plans will be reviewed and stamped by a KOA, California -registered Civil Engineer. WORKSITE TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN PREPARATION KOA uses work area signs, barricades, and temporary striping as necessary to safely route traffic through the construction zone. General notes applying to construction traffic control are placed on each project sheet. The plans will be prepared to conform to the general requirements of the City with consideration for the needs of the Contractor's construction operations. MULTIPLE AGENCY PROCESSING (IF NECESSARY) If other agencies must approve the plans, KOA will process the plans through the designated agency. By doing this each plan will require additional processing, addressing additional comments, and resolving conflicting comments. If CITY OF LA QUINTA 13 KOA CORPORATION PLANNING & ENGINEERING Caltrans processing is involved, we will submit each plan with the intention of receiving an encroachment permit. KOA will act as authorized agent for the City for submittal and processing of all plans required for obtaining the Caltrans permit. This will be limited to our own plans. This task also includes reasonable efforts to maintain the overall project on schedule, plus informal telephone appeals to eliminate inappropriate plan comments. The tasks below are negotiated exclusively if required for a specific project. TRAFFIC COUNTS KOA will review available traffic studies, plans, or documents that were conducted in the past year to extract any available traffic count data that can be used for analysis. When existing traffic count data is not available through these documents, KOA and/or a traffic count firm will conduct the data collection of any traffic count data that is needed. KOA will conduct data collection as needed to include, but not be limited to ADT counts, stop sign warrant counts, intersection turning movement counts, occupancy rates, and parking turnover data. Bicycle and pedestrian volume counts will also be conducted as part of street and intersection counts. KOA will perform quality control/quality assurance (QA/QC) on all data collected to verify the data is reasonable. PROJECT LEVEL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS KOA's traffic engineering staff is knowledgeable in the traffic/transportation review process. The traffic elements of a project can drive the mitigation for an entire site and surrounding roadway network. On -site traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle activity will be reviewed, as well as existing and future off -site conditions. Our engineers conduct an in-depth field reconnaissance, evaluate the safety characteristics of the area, prepare an independent assessment, and develop our own recommendations. Specific areas we review include, but are not limited to, traffic volumes, accident history, stopping sight distance, roadway network and layout, site trip generation characteristics, operational characteristics, levels of service and traffic impacts, traffic signal design, site plan access/egress and on -site circulation, presence of pedestrian and bicycle amenities, safety, and overall mitigation. Our conclusions are summarized in a memo/report for the client; findings are presented in a public forum. KOA has developed several methodologies and streamlined the process to conduct these types of analysis and other aspects of project level transportation analysis. We will use our knowledge and experience to conduct the project level transportation analysis within a short time frame. LONG RANGE CORRIDOR STUDIES KOA has experience in conducting long range corridor studies that include traffic counts, travel demand forecasting, analysis of intersection and _ ;;:'+; ► iti; - roadway geometry, capacity and safety, and '� €,�•_ — "�" recommended improvements. KOA has conducted and is currently conducting several Active Transportation Plans (ATP) and Safe Routes to _ School (SRTS) projects which include many of these y components. KOA is very familiar in conducting traffic and parking studies which include the analysis of intersection and roadway segments, project trip generation and distribution analysis, and developing appropriate recommendations. We will use our ATP and •w SRTS knowledge and experience in conducting all aspects of - the long range corridor studies. ON -CALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES KOA CORPORATION PLANNING B ENGINEERING ACCESS STUDIES KOA has conducted evaluations of existing access in major corridors as part of traffic impact studies and corridor studies. KOA has reviewed and prepared a variety of transportation planning technical studies that have included simulations and design modification recommendations. KOA will use this experience and knowledge to provide City Staff with assistance in conducting evaluations of existing access in major corridors and the review and/or preparation of technical studies, simulations, and design modifications to meet the City's needs. KOA will review existing conditions and evaluate them to determine access management and operational conditions along the corridor that may include: ■ Corridor Crash History Review ■ Identification of Crash Hotspots/High Volume Access Points • Identification of Existing Access Points Not in Compliance • Intersection Level of Service Analysis ■ Arterial Level of Service Analysis • Traffic signal timing Analysis TRAFFIC SIMULATION KOA has experience in conducting traffic simulations of corridors and roadway networks using microsimulation software such as Synchro's SimTraffic and VISSUM. KOA will conduct traffic simulations using these or other computer programs, as needed. KOA staff will be available and ready to work with the City staff in obtaining training for specific microsimulation software, to meet the City's needs. TRANSPORTATION PLANS KOA Staff will use its experience and knowledge in reviewing and preparing transportation plans to develop or assist City Staff with the development of short and long-term transportation plans. KOA will use the methodology, procedures, and standards used by City Staff in developing all necessary components of short and long-term transportation plans to meet the City's needs. RESEARCH AND OUTREACH KOA conducts research and outreach tasks for the majority of our projects. KOA staff is experienced in conducting efficient research and preparing all materials needed, such as reports, maps, agendas, fliers, presentation boards, and other items for outreach purposes and presentations. KOA staff will assist City staff in producing reports and other materials as needed and in making presentations on transportation -related topics. PLAN CHECKS/REPORT REVIEW Plan checking traffic signal and interconnect plans, signing and striping plans, traffic control plans, and street lighting plans. Although approaches to plan checking of other consultants' work can vary greatly, KOA believes that the proper role of a plan check consultant is to assist a knowledgeable traffic engineering designer in properly and expediently completing their plans to the satisfaction of the agency. Our routine for plan checking begins with the intended operation and verifying the proposed controllers, phasing, poles with heads, and detection that will provide the operation. KOA visits the project intersections as part of the plan checking services. It is not the plan checker's role to instruct the designer in fundamentals of traffic signal design or to prepare the design for the consultant. KOA normally provides the following approach to plan checking services: Upon receipt of the plans, KOA's project manager will check the plans for completeness using criteria furnished by the City. Any clearly incomplete plans will be returned to the City immediately with a note that the plans are incomplete and not ready for checking. ON -CALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES CITY OF LA QUINTA 15 KOA CORPORATION PLANNING & ENGINEERING If the plans are found to be complete, a thorough plan check is initiated. KOA will conduct a field review to verify that existing conditions are shown accurately. This procedure is essentially similar to the process followed for preparation of our own plans. It may become apparent that a field review was not conducted if major features are omitted or incorrectly shown on the plans. Plans will be noted "Incomplete, Inadequate Field Review" if major discrepancies are found. If discrepancies are minor and the validity of the design does not appear to be affected, plan checking will continue. After the field verification, KOA will check all portions of the plan in the office. Where corrections are noted, they will be as specific as possible. Proper language will be furnished for construction notes and general notes, and improper entries in the Pole Schedule will be corrected. If additional research is required, the areas of concern will be noted; however, the design engineer will be responsible for follow-up. KOA will conduct all plan check activities, except for deliveries and other non -technical tasks. In the course of plan checking the plans, we will briefly review other project plan sheets and make relevant comments relating to specifics of the design plan. KOA will include traffic engineering design issues for traffic signals, signing, striping, and channelization away from the signalized intersections or work site traffic control plans. REVIEW OF TECHNICAL STUDIES KOA has conducted many peer reviews of transportation planning -related technical studies for public agencies and private companies. KOA staff is knowledgeable in reviewing and identifying any concerns with methodologies, analysis, data, and other aspects of transportation planning -related technical studies. KOA begins each full technical review project by receiving a copy of the study. Immediately upon receipt, we will evaluate the report to determine whether the basic required documentation has been submitted. KOA will notify the City if documents are missing and will continue with the review only after all the required documentation has been received. This reduces unnecessary review costs and allows the first review to be more comprehensive. Once we complete the review, we will submit it to the City for review and submittal to the developer. At the City's request, we will attend coordination meetings with the developer's engineer and will review our comments on the study and the responses by the engineer. KOA will perform a site visit during the initial phases of the review process. Our comments will be in the form of a letter report detailing our findings, which we will submit to the City. KOA will conduct the traffic analysis review using the nationally accepted standards, methods, and criteria of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). TRAINING KOA Staff is knowledgeable in a variety of analysis methodologies, assessments, software, and other transportation planning tasks. KOA staff will provide and facilitate the training of City staff in specific transportation planning areas as requested by the City. ON -CALL STAFF AUGMENTATION (IF NEEDED) KOA will provide staffing for the City if needed. There won't be any travel cost for the City for the staff augmentation. We have three senior transportation planners and four assistant transportation planners/engineers to offer for the staff augmentation. SCHEDULING Project schedules will be determined on a case -by -case basis; however, KOA is a highly reliable firm for projects requiring tight deadlines. We are proud of our record of timely delivery on our projects. References for our projects can confirm that our work quality and deployment of staff resources will ensure expedient project design completion. Upon receiving an executed agreement and as -built plans from the City, KOA usually completes the first submittal within four weeks. Subsequent plan revisions are generally resubmitted to the City within 10 business days after receiving the check prints. Please note that KOA cannot be held responsible for the review time required by the City to check the plans. ON-ICALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVI(ES CITY OF LA QUINTA 16 PKOA CORPORATION PLANNING 8 ENGINEERING Plan checking will follow a set schedule of turnaround timeframes as established by the City. It is strongly expected that plan checks should not exceed three (3) total plan check cycles. Turnaround times are not to exceed the following: • First submittal: 10 working days • Second submittal: 5 working days • Third submittal: 3 working days • Mylar review: 2 working days Major change during design stage: 7 working days • Major change in the field: 3 working days This turnaround time schedule does not exclude the option for expedited plan reviews as needed by the City. Expedited reviews are not typical, but are anticipated for certain projects deemed as priorities by the City staff. Periodic meetings will be scheduled to discuss plan check issues with the City's project engineers. Unless otherwise directed by City staff, no plan check shall be returned to the developer, or the developer's representative, until the City's project engineers have been updated on the status of the plan checks being returned. For any reason, if a plan check is expected to exceed three (3) cycles, KOA will inform the City's engineering staff, and a meeting will be coordinated by the City and developer to resolve outstanding issues. MANAGEMENT APPROACH KOA'S COST CONTROLS KOA Corporation has a reputation for producing high quality work products. We have numerous repeat clients in both the public and private sectors who appreciate the quality of work and services that we provide. We have letters of recommendation from clients, and we have gotten client referrals from public agencies that have reviewed and approved our work and recognize the quality of our work products. KOA's cost control measures include the use of a financial database that is continuously updated. Our financial database contains detailed information on project and task budgets and expenditures, which the KOA project manager as well as any of our KOA team members can review at any time. Project financial reports are also routinely distributed to each of our KOA project managers on a weekly basis. Whenever necessary, the KOA project manager can seek ways to implement cost saving measures and eliminate any inefficiencies in the work effort without sacrificing quality and responsiveness. By keeping project costs under control, we will be in a better position to preserve budget for additional tasks or assignments that may later be needed for the project. QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL As noted above, we are committed to generating quality work products and strive to producing error -free plans. We have staff experienced in transportation planning and traffic engineering, as well as civil engineering design, and we are particularly strong in producing high quality improvement plans and traffic studies/modeling. For example, our Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) process involves having plans go through a minimum of two stages of internal review before allowing plans to be submitted to an agency for plan review and approval. The first stage of internal review involves a peer review by an experienced design engineer. The second stage of internal review involves another round of reviews by one or more senior -level registered engineers, each individually with over seventeen years of engineering experience. Each reviewer confirms that plans reflect the appropriate improvement scope and conform to the approving agency's design standards and plan format. The reviewers also verify that all plan check comments have been properly addressed on any plan revisions we prepare. This approach has led to a high level of quality in our engineering plans, and we believe our firm is establishing a strong reputation with a number of agencies for producing high quality work products. 1CONSULTANT CITY OF LA QUINTA 17 KOA CORPORATION PLANNING 8 ENGINEERING KCWCbr_7p15-raTR0_�h"_ Professional Services 2017 Rates President $ 299.95 Principal Engineer 1 $ 273.16 Principal Engineer II $ 235.33 Senior Engineer 1 $ 218.52 Senior Engineer II $ 177.55 Senior Designer 1 $ 207A9 Senior Designer II $ 172.30 Senior Planner 1 $ 207A9 Senior Planner II $ 172.30 Associate Engineer 1 $ 139.20 Associate Engineer II $ 1 1 1.36 Associate Planner 1 $ 138.68 Associate Planner II $ 1 1 1.36 Associate Designer 1 $ 1 1 1.36 Associate Designer II $ 89.83 Assistant Engineer 1 $ 1 1 1.36 Assistant Engineer II $ 89.83 Assistant Planner 1 $ 100.33 Assistant Planner 11 $ 79.32 Construction Manager $ 142.80 Assistant Construction Manager $ 122AO Senior Construction Observer $ 112.20 Construction Observer $ 107.10 Assistant Designer 1 $ 89.30 Assistant Designer II $ 68.29 Technician 1 $ 83.52 Technician II $ 60.93 Administrative Assistant 1 $ 83.52 Administrative Assistant II $ 60.93 Intern $ 54.63 Reimbursable Expenses Project reimbursable expenses are billed at cost.

Principal -in -Charge. The Town of Apple Valley obtained the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Program grant as a winning city out of 141 applicants. The grant is used to develop a town -wide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Master Plan, which would serve 10 Kindergarten through 8th grade schools for the Apple Valley Unified School District (AVUSD) and the Town of Apple Valley, which has a population of more than 70,000 people. This grant would allow a comprehensive evaluation of these grade schools and focus on the risks and options necessary to improve their routes. The proposed SRTS master plan will provide the first step towards improving the infrastructure and the everyday lives of Apple Valley students by allowing safer and better routes to and from school. The SRTS plan is intended to improve the health of students through increased exercise and reduced greenhouse gas and emissions by reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled. This would be accomplished by accommodating an increase in the number of students walking and cycling to school. The SRTS master plan will enhance walkability and bicycling for students in kindergarten through 8th grade, but it will also benefit secondary students. The plan promotes safe walking and cycling through the 6 Es campaign. Ms. Zhou conducts quality control reviews and advises the project manager, as needed.
