Successful funding required completion and submittal of 95% construction plans to Caltrans within 3 months of notice to proceed. Dudek provided civil engineering services for the repair and rehabilitation of several roadways with the City of Desert Hot Springs. Key design issues included: x Careful incorporation of existing driveways, mailboxes, water meters, sewer clean-outs, and power poles. x Use and compatibility of existing curb and gutters into the new design improvements x Dudek provided the control survey for the photogrammetry work x Coordination of the associated geotechnical work for basis of design and repair x Conducted the detailed existing utilities research and facilitated relocations and required adjustment to accommodate new street improvements x Evaluate existing drainage patterns and the impact the new gutter improvements would have on drainage patterns and provided storm drain infrastructure to accommodate the flow pattern changes Dudek also assisted the City during construction bidding phase and provided construction oversight services. Avenue 58 and Eisenhower Drive Rehabilitation Client: City of La Quinta Reference: Bryan McKinney, PE, City Engineer; 760.777.7045; 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253; bmckinney@laquintaca In an effort to rehabilitate and convert older Riverside County streets to conform to current city standards, the City contracted with Dudek to perform field investigation of current street conditions (including sub grade and structural section analysis). The project areas had an insufficient structural section that required full rehabilitation of the roadways. Dudek prepared full street rehabilitation improvement plans, including design of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps in locations where existing improvements either did not exist or did not meet current City standards. Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 8 PPavement Management Plan Street Improvements Client: City of La Quinta Reference: Bryan McKinney, PE, City Engineer; 760.777.7045; 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253; bmckinney@laquintaca The City of La Quinta (City) contracted with Dudek to complete a Pavement Management Plan Street Improvements Project (Project) for several of the City's streets. Consisting of asphalt rehabilitation, Dudek is solely responsible for preparing its Base Map for the Project utilizing a simple line diagram format that shows existing surface features, including curbs, cross gutters, utilities, etc. Dudek provides for core sampling to subgrade; utility location, leading to final design and construction document preparation; and assistance with bidding and during construction. Streets involved include Calle Tampico, Park Avenue, Avenue 52, and Avenida Bermudas. Dudek later was contracted by the City to prepare Final Design and Construction Documents for public bidding for the resulting pavement rehabilitation plans, including the following supporting documents: Categorical Exemption, Geotechnical Investigation, Base Map, Utility Coordination, Preliminary Environmental Study Form, Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment Form, and Natural Environmental Study - Minimal Impact. Portola and Dinah Shore Extension Client: City of Palm Desert Reference: Joel Montalvo, PE, Asst. Director of Engineering, 760.323.8253 (former Palm Desert staff, currently with City of Palm Springs); 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262; Joel.Montalvo@palmspringsca.gov As part of the City’s efforts to improve circulation elements around the expanding commercial development of Monterey and Dinah Shore Drive, the City engaged Dudek to prepare conceptual planning documents, right of way acquisition documents, and final construction documents for the extension of Portola Avenue and Dinah Shore Drive. The project featured close coordination with both Caltrans and adjacent developers and their consultant teams to ensure design of the major arterial (eight lanes with raised median) extensions would accommodate access to proposed residential and commercial development while maintaining Caltrans design compliance for the future Portola and I-10 interchange. The design included extension of Portola from Gerald Ford to the I-10 freeway ROW (1,800 linear feet), and the extension of Dinah Shore from Portola to Spyder Circle (2,500 linear feet). Additional design features and considerations included a super elevated section of Dinah Shore to maintain safety for the proposed speed limits, signal modifications and upgrades at two locations, and storm drain and utility extension work.

Already one of the busier intersections in the region, Washington Street and Fred Waring Drive is a prime example of this. The influx of seasonal residents, coupled with the events season that starts with the Desert Classic PGA tournament, continues with the BNP Paribas tennis tournament, La Quinta Arts Festival, and culminates with the Coachella Valley Music and Stagecoach Festivals, results in significant delays in intersection movement, traffic backups, and drivers making unsafe decisions (speeding, running red lights, turns out of through lanes, abrupt lane changes, etc.) Building on the City’s success of adding a third left turn leg to North and South bound travel of the Washington Street and Highway 111 intersection, adding an additional left turn leg should help alleviate congestion and improve safety at the intersection throughout the year. With split jurisdictions (Cities of La Quinta, Indian Wells, and Palm Desert) governing the intersection, it will be imperative to the success of the project that these stakeholders dedicate themselves to close cooperation and frequent communication with the project engineering consultant to address challenges and design considerations from the earliest stages of the project. As part of our preparation for this proposal, Dudek engineers and environmental professional visited the project site to evaluate the existing conditions and reviewed the proposed improvements. Potential challenges and opportunities for consideration during the planning and design stage of the project are noted in the following Table 1. While not comprehensive, with some items needing verification and further discussion with all project partners, this represents our initial observations and design considerations for the project which is an example of the thorough analysis and evaluation you can expect from the Dudek team. Table 1. Challenges and Opportunities Existing Condition Design Considerations Westbound Fred Waring Drive Expansion of the width of Westbound Fred Waring east of Washington will require disturbance of embankments adjacent to the roadway. The existing slope presents the potential for rare plant species that may require evaluation during the environmental stage of the project. Additionally, these embankments may need retaining structures to reduce the disturbance limits and potential need for temporary or permanent ROW acquisitions. Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 11 SStormwater Drainage Although we would not expect the simple street widening associated with the project to have a negative impact on drainage, careful evaluation to confirm that flow patterns, and drainage infrastructure (new or proposed) are adequate for the post project condition should be included in the project scope of work. SStorm Drain IImprovements Storm drain catch basins and an under sidewalk drain were observed on Fred Waring, west of Washington Street that will need relocating as part of the street widening. It is believed that these catch basins are interconnected with an outlet into the retention basin on the Southwest Church property, but this will be verified during design MMedian Curb For median curb revisions, it will be important to evaluate existing finished grade elevations and slope within the asphalt street section. Cross slope for the asphalt should remain as close to existing (assumed to be 2%) while limiting the amount of saw cutting and blending to meet the existing street grades. Top of curb elevation differential and variable curb height options may need to be implemented as well. Median openings will also need to be reestablished as needed to maintain intended drainage for the intersection. SSunline Bus SStation The project partners and design consultant will need to communicate and coordinate with Sunline Transit for the relocation of the bus stop on Northbound Washington Street, north of Fred Waring PPrivate Driveway Improvements Driveway access into the commercial properties at the NW corner of the intersection will require relocation and reconstruction with the widening. Tie in elevations and slopes will need to be evaluated to ensure steep driveways and the potential for vehicle bottoming out is avoided or mitigated. In addition, construction- phasing requirements should be considered for this area to reduce the impacts to businesses during construction. SSidewalk Improvements at Driveways Existing sidewalk crossings of the aforementioned driveways do not meet current ADA code for slopes and truncated domes. The reconstructed driveways should be installed similar to City of La Quinta Standard Plan No. 221 with the addition of the truncated domes for compliance. Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 12 MMonument Signage The City of Palm Desert monument sign on the NW corner of the intersection will likely conflict with the proposed improvements and need to be relocated or reconstructed. The Southwest Church sign at the SW corner appears not to be in conflict with the improvements (with the exception of up lighting) but will need to be verified with survey and geometric design. Public UUtilities IID power poles appear to all be outside the impact areas of the project yet all underground utilities will need to be identified and evaluated for conflicts and required mitigation/relocation during construction. Prior rights to the ROW will need to be confirmed to ensure any utility relocation costs are the responsibility of the agency and not the Cities. Pavement Restoration Saw cutting for curb and gutter, median curb, and potential utility trenching will result in numerous repairs and patching in the road surface during construction. Coupled with the potential for damage and degradation of asphalt conditions from construction equipment, we recommend that the asphalt be rehabilitated for the complete intersection in the final stages of the project. A mill and overlay process will provide a structurally rejuvenated and aesthetic intersection at the completion of the project. As a lower cost option, a slurry seal could be considered to preserve the underlying asphalt while still providing a new driving surface and achieving the improved aesthetics of the intersection. Dudek will review the existing condition of the asphalt to make a final recommendation during design. If the City has not already done so, Dudek recommends that prior to the full initiation of design services for the project, the City consider a baseline traffic analysis of the proposed improvement to verify traffic operations post improvements. In the experience of Dudek and Fehr and Peers, these types of widening projects can result in unintended delays for the intersection through the need for extended crossing times for pedestrians that can offset the benefit of the additional turn lanes. An inexpensive task, this would help confirm that appropriate pocket lengths, signal timing, and additional improvements are incorporated into the project to ensure the goal of achieving a LOS of E or better during peak hour/peak season. California Environmental Quality Act Based on preliminary review of the vicinity map provided in the RFP, a brief site visit to log existing conditions of the project site, and experience with other roadway improvement projects, Dudek believes that the Project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under a Class 1 exemption for existing facilities. The addition of left-turn lanes is not a capacity- increasing improvement, so the Project would not result in any substantial environmental impacts associated with greater through traffic. Additionally, the Project is proposed within the public right-of-way (ROW) of at the intersection of Washington Street and Fred Waring. Developed (disturbed) land surrounds the Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 13 intersection except for a vacant parcel to the northeast. Project improvements would result in minimal land disturbance (area and depth) and evidence of disturbance within the public ROW on the vacant lot vastly reduces the potential for environmental impacts from development of the Project. A review of aerial maps dating back to 1996 indicate that the soils on the perimeter of the vacant parcel were previously disturbed and soil stabilizer applied. Additionally, in the absence of sidewalks, a visible path has been etched into the ground where people utilize the vacant property to access the intersection and the bus stop on Washington Street. A CNDDB search yielded negative results, but due to the high volume of rain experienced this winter, various vegetation is present on the vacant site adjacent to the Project intersection. Although Dudek’s biologists do not expect to encounter any sensitive species on the site, Dudek recommends a biological field survey be conducted prior to preparation of the Notice of Exemption (NOE) to ensure project development would not affect any special-status plant species. PProject Management Approach Beginning the project with a clear understanding and vision of the desired result is critical to managing project quality, scope and schedule for success. The following are several project management advantages the Dudek team provides to achieve the project goals and objectives. Define Critical Success Factors and Project Management Dudek excels at managing multiple-task projects through effective communication, planning, responsiveness and flexibility. Above all, Dudek strives to define, and refine, the project critical success factors at inception of the work. The critical success factors are unique to every project and every client, and represent Dudek’s barometer of how we are performing towards meeting the expectations of the City. Meeting your critical success factors requires effective project management. The Project Management sections below provide further detail in the specific project management tools, planning, communication, procedures and process Dudek uses for managing the workflow, quality control and completion of projects. Communication Beginning at the Kickoff Meeting, Dudek will clearly outline the project work plan, schedule, budget and communication process with the project team so that all parties have a uniform understanding of roles, responsibilities, requirements, stakeholders, deliverables, objectives and goals. During the project, Dudek will communicate regularly with the City providing monthly written progress reports, email documentation of verbal direction, and either weekly or bi-weekly conference calls with the City PM. Team Relationship Both internally and externally, the Dudek team has a long and successful record of accomplishment of working toward project deliverables. Our supporting subcontractors have teamed with Dudek on dozens of successful projects over the past 10 years. With an open, respectful and supportive relationship among “Yellow Hairy Sand Verbena” (Abronia villosa var. Aurita) is an example of sensitive vegetation for which Dudek biologists would conduct a survey. Picture courtesy of CalPhotos Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 14 our range of experts, the Dudek team will provide the City with unparalleled team synergy. Monitoring/Controlling Earned-value schedules and budget tracking monitor project schedule, budget, and progress. The tracking system uses the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), combined with the project schedule to map the estimated project accumulation of cost from beginning to end, referred to as the Base Line. As the project advances, the project manager communicates with the team on a regular basis to evaluate each task for completion, and compares total earned value to project billings to establish a highly accurate budget status at any point in the project. Proactively managing the project schedule and budget from the onset of the project provides the project manager with the early warning indicators necessary to manage the work effort and protect the project budget. Coordination with Subconsultants Effective subconsultant coordination is critically important to the success of multi-disciplinary engineering projects. Our subconsultants depend on us for information to provide their services efficiently and accurately. Often times, they are not given direction or necessary data until the last minute of an upcoming deliverable. This negatively affects project schedule and quality. The philosophy of Dudek’s engineering and design group is to coordinate with our subconsultants early and often. A few of the best practices for subconsultant coordination are: 1. Our CAD designers provide a package of plot configuration files, sample drawings, and instructions so that drawing format is uniform from the get go. 2. We hold face-to-face meetings with key design subconsultants such as structural and electrical engineers to review project features and their scope of design. 3. We take our role as project lead seriously and conduct thorough interdisciplinary reviews of subconsultant deliverables before they are submitted to the client. QA/QC Program Overview Quality assurance is a project management responsibility conducted in accordance with the Quality Control Plan. The project manager monitors quality assurance continuously, making sure proper quality control reviews are conducted and documented at appropriate stages of the project development. Team members habitually check in with peers or senior engineers for every key decision, creating a continuous quality control check that reduces the potential for rework. Our assigned Quality Control Manager will ensure all project deliverables are reviewed prior to submittal to the City. Lack of quality is a leading cause of budget overruns, construction claims and client dissatisfaction. Dudek is committed to training project managers in proven project management and control methods. To that end, we maintain an in-house Project Managers Committee to establish guidelines for project management and review each project manager's performance. Application of proven project management and quality review principles assures that client satisfaction is improved, project quality is improved, and cost savings realized. Our Quality Management Program focuses on continually improving quality by identifying and correcting problems, so that they do not reoccur. Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 15 D. Scope of Work Program TTask 1. Project Management and Administration We will begin the design related work through attendance at a pre-design kick-off meeting with City and project partners to formalize the design approach. The meeting will be a review of project technical requirements, project limits, design parameters, stakeholder roles, timelines, contract management, schedules and milestones. Dudek will meet with the City staff during the development of the design and specifically request meetings at 35% completion, 65%, and 95% completion. At the 35% completion meeting, we will perform a field inspection with draft design plans in hand to discuss any special construction conditions, treatments, or conflicts. Up to five (5) progress meetings with the City and partner agencies are anticipated along with attendance at a City council meeting if needed. Meetings will be held with utility providers as needed. Project management and administration tasks will include: x Staff oversight and management x Budget and schedule tracking and reporting x Meeting agenda preparation, notes, and minute preparation x Progress reports – Weekly email updates and monthly written reports x Subcontractor coordination and management x Quality control program implementation Deliverables: Meeting agendas and minutes, update emails, monthly written reports, monthly invoices Optional Scope Item: At the discretion of the City, following the project kick-off and prior to initiation of design services, Dudek will engage Fehr and Peers to provide Traffic Operations Verification of the proposed improvements; Fehr & Peers will confirm operational assumptions associated with the triple left turn lane improvements at each approach. Counts will be collected at the Washington Street/Fred Waring intersection during both the AM and PM peak hours and HCM 6th edition operational analysis will be conducted in Synchro using existing and future forecasted volumes. The results will be used to determine appropriate turn pocket lengths, signal timing, and any additional improvements necessary to maintain a minimum level of service (LOS) of E. Task 2.CEQA Document Dudek will prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the Project, which will include the following: (1) a cover letter to the County Clerk, (2) the NOE including findings for a CEQA Categorical Exemption (CE), and a map of the project site and surrounding area.

Dudek assumes that the City will provide one set of consolidated comments on the cover letter, findings and NOE prior to submittal to the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. Deliverables: One (1) electronic copy of Screencheck and Final NOE to City Staff Optional Scope Item: If requested, Dudek will conduct an assessment of biological resources and prepare a memorandum to be included in the project file as substantial evidence to back up to Categorical Exemption. The majority of the project site and buffer is developed; however, a portion overlaps native habitat in particular at the northeast corner of Washington Street and Fred Waring Drive. The project is within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Professional Engineering Services for Washington Street at Fred Waring Drive Triple Left Turn Lanes Project 2017-01 Page 16 Conservation Plan and is outside of MSHCP conservation areas. The project is also a covered activity under the MSHCP; therefore, impacts to species covered by the MSHCP would be covered through consistency with the MSHCP and payment of applicable fees. DDeliverables: One (1) electronic copy of Biological Resources Memo for City Records Task 3.Utility Coordination Dudek will perform an initial field reconnaissance site visit to identify utility services within the project limits. Following the site visit, Dudek will contact applicable utility purveyors in the area to request facility maps and as-built information (Dudek assumes the City will pay any fees for utility mapping should they be required.) Using this information, Dudek will plot all available utility information in the project basemap and perform a supplemental site visit to confirm the location or search for discrepancies in the as-built utility maps. At this stage, the City may consider engaging Dig Alert to assess and mark utilities in the project area for further verification of utilities that may be impacted by the project. Having verified utility locations, Dudek will work to identify potential conflicts between existing and proposed improvements requiring mitigation. Relocation of any facilities will be discussed with the City and applicable agency with Dudek serving as the relocation coordinator for any utilities needing relocation. Final design documents will account for all utility conflicts requiring “protect in place” or “relocate” status as well as point of connection for electrification of the signal improvements. Overhead utilities that may impede the project area will be plotted and noted on the plans as “caution, overhead utilities.” Deliverables: Dudek will provide the City with copies of all correspondence and facility maps gathered from utility purveyors. Optional Scope Item - Utility Potholing: Dudek will develop a potholing plan for the purpose of locating and profiling existing underground utilities in support of the intersection and signal modifications. Dudek will engage the services of a licensed, local pothole subcontractor (CV Pipeline, or others) to provide the in- field potholing services. Dudek and Fehr & Peers will prepare a potholing plan based on the utility research completed during preliminary design, and submit the proposed plan to the City for approval. Dudek has allocated for up to 10 potholes in our scope of work. The Dudek team will obtain the necessary approvals from the partner Cities to conduct the work, including traffic control submittals. Furthermore, we will comply with City and County standards for backfill of the potholes and replacement of pavement. For the purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that all permits will be provided on a no-fee basis by the Cities. The Dudek team will provide surveying and coordination with utility companies to assure that utilities are field marked prior to potholing. The results of the potholing effort will be documented for ultimate use in preparation of the Contract Documents. Task 4.
