Re: Request for Proposals for Construction Management and Inspection Services
La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project
City Project # 2015-03, State Project: ATP03AL-5433(020)
Dear Mr. McKinney:
FALCON Engineering Services Inc. (FALCON) proudly presents our proposal to the City of La Quinta for the above-referenced
project. FALCON is a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise/Small Business Enterprise (DBE/SBE) specializing in
construction management (CM), inspection services, project/program management for various types of transportation and
public work projects. Our project experience includes local street improvements/widening/reconstruction/
rehabilitation, bike trail realignment, golf cart, and pedestrian trails, signalized intersections with ADA compliant
ramps and sidewalks, striping delineation, signing, fencing, site lighting, drainage, flood control projects, box culvert
systems, retaining wall systems, and major “unique” landscaping & hardscaping features.
Over the past 25+ years, various FALCON Team members (employees and/or consultants) have gained experience working
with Federal, State, and Local Agencies such as RCTC, RCTD, SBCTA, utility companies, and local agencies (Cities and
Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino). Key FALCON Team members, Wael Faqih, PE, (Project Manager), Juan Rojas,
PE (Senior Resident Engineer), Ahmad Faqih, PE (Resident Engineer), and Dennis Green (Public Relations/Outreach)
have a combined 119+ years of experience in similar projects and have completed more than 30 major local transportation
projects all in the Inland Empire.
Additionally, our CM staff is familiar with the existing project site conditions, traffic patterns, pedestrian, ADA access needs,
and needs for improving traffic circulation, and ongoing coordination with numerous utility companies, environmental and
regulatory permitting agencies. Our key staff (Wael, Juan, Ahmad, and Dennis Green) are professionals who have unmatched
expertise in managing similar complex projects in tight work areas and within environmentally sensitive areas.
Our Public Relations/Outreach Representative, Dennis Green is an expert in dealing with the local residents, businesses, the
City’s Chamber of Commerce, and City’s Public Works Department. He always ensures that all public issues are addressed
immediately and expeditiously.
FALCON Team conducted a thorough review of the Plans, Special Provisions, and conducted a field review of the project site
and general vicinity within the City of La Quinta and determined that some of the construction phases/stages can be
Over the last 12 years FALCON team has completed major similar construction projects in the Inland Empire (All with
Federal/State/Local Funding-Caltrans (CT)-Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), CT Filing System, Procedures):
- Date Palm Drive Bridge in the City of Cathedral City FALCON-Prime
-I-15/SR-79 South Interchange, Temecula FALCON-Prime
-I -10/Citrus Interchange Improvement (SBCTA) FALCON-Prime
- I-10/Cherry Interchange Improvement (SBCTA) FALCON-Prime
- I-215/Van Buren Interchange Improvement (Riverside County) FALCON-Prime
- SR-91/Van Buren Interchange Improvement (City of Riverside) FALCON-Prime
- SR/60/Nason Street Interchange Improvement (City of Moreno Valley) FALCON-Prime
- Magnolia Grade Separation Improvement (Riverside County) FALCON-Prime
- River Road Bridge Project & Street Improvement (Riverside County) FALCON-Prime
- I-15/SB Deceleration Lane at Railroad Canyon Road (City of Lake Elsinore) FALCON-Prime

constructed concurrently without impacting the traffic circulation within the La Quinta Village area. Specifically Phases 1 & 3
and portions of Phase-2. This will result in a significantly shorter construction duration (280-working Days vs. original 360-
Working days).
This translates to the following advantages to the City:
- Significant savings in Construction Contract Overhead due to shorter duration.(~20% cost savings)
- Significant cost savings from the CM cost ~25% due to a shorter duration.
- Compressing construction activities in a shorter duration; will engage a more capable/reputable contractor with
adequate resources that construct a project of this size in a shorter duration.
- The most important advantages would be minimizing legal exposure, less risk, less inconvenience to the
public, local businesses, and residents.
FALCON Team has recently completed Date Palm Drive Bridge Project in the City of Cathedral City which included many
similar features other than the bridge, roadway widening/improvements, ADA compliant sidewalks, ramps, street lighting,
hardscaping, landscaping, and a river walk for pedestrians and bicycles. FALCON Team was very successful in completing
this project on time and under budget.
The firm and most of the individuals comprising the FALCON Team have worked together on multiple projects over the past
15 years. The FALCON Team is proud to partner with the following firms:
As your Project Manager, I will be the point of contact and provide
the management, training, and oversight of the inspection and
administrative staffing. I am authorized to bind the firm to the
terms of the proposal. FALCON acknowledges the receipt of the
RFP, and acknowledges acceptance of the terms and conditions
contained in the RFP and the Agreement for Contract Services.
The proposal will be valid for 180 calendar days from the closing
date and time for receipt of proposals. In addition, FALCON
attests that all information in this proposal is true and correct.
Sincerely,
Wael Faqih, MS, PE

the proposed existing interchange on I-15 at State Route 79 South
(Temecula Parkway) located in southern Temecula.
The project involved freeway improvement, roadway widening, and
rehabilitation, ramp improvements and realignments, earthwork, grading,
asphalt concrete (AC) paving, concrete retaining walls, drainage pipes, minor
concrete structures, concrete curb and gutter, traffic control, signing, striping,
traffic and ramp meter signals, irrigation and landscape, erosion control,
existing AM/PM gas station demolition and removal of underground storage
tanks, utility relocations power lines (Edison), sewer lines (EMWD), and water
lines (RCWD), modification of the traffic signals at the ramp intersections,
lighting systems, and construction of
overhead signs. The project was within
the State of California (Caltrans) right-
of-way.
Innovation/Challenges: Due to the
close proximity of Old Town Temecula,
Hospitals, businesses, residential
areas, and Pechanga Casino, the
project team developed a website
where the public was notified about of
every aspect of the project. In particular,
every Friday a public notification was
delivered to the public and all
stakeholders informing them of
upcoming closures on I-15 and local
streets. This notification included a map
that showed the detours around the
clousures.

La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project
SBCTA: I-10/CITRUS AND I-10/CHERRY INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, FONTANA, CA
FALCON provided full Construction Management services and field personnel to
the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) on the I-10/Citrus
Interchange - $34M and I-10/Cherry Interchange - $50M Improvement Projects.
Both I-10/Citrus and Cherry Interchange improvements involved the construction
of new ramps, loop on-ramps, realignment and widening of existing ramps,
realignment of existing channels, multi-cell box culverts, trapezoidal and
rectangular channels, signalized intersections, local street improvements.
Construction included the removal and reconstruction of the existing bridge over
the I-10 and railroad tracks, construction of JPCP Rapid set concrete, asphalt
pavement, PCC pavement, drainage channel re-construction, thousands of
linear feet of new RCP drainage, street improvements, excavation, backfill,
grading, compaction, pavement delineation, traffic control, traffic signals,
electrical systems, landscape, Stage Construction (Multiple Stages),
Accelerated Schedule (9-Months), elaborate SWPPP plan & monitoring, PR-
Businesses and residents, coordination with CT/ agencies. Projects required
extensive coordination with Caltrans Structures Design Oversight, Construction
Oversight, and METS lab for QA/QC oversight.
FALCON’s team performed a detailed constructability review and evaluated construction stages and the designer’s proposed
schedule. FALCON identified significant staging conflicts and significantly reduced the construction schedule on I-10/Citrus
Interchange from 570 WD to 420 WD and on I-10/Cherry IC from 735 WD to 470 WD. FALCON Team proposed elaborate
shoring systems at various locations in order to expedite work at all legs of the interchange, eliminating conflicting construction
staging and improving traffic circulation through the interchange thus, minimizing impacts to the traveling public. All potential
issues that could have resulted in delays and cost increases were identified and resolved early. FALCON’s significant cost
savings on both projects exceeded ~30% of the Engineer’s estimate.

and inspection services for
this project which consisted of
widening Nason Street, HMA
paving, raising the profile of
Nason Street, adjusting and
widening freeway ramps,
intersection improvements to
meet the new profile grade,
new traffic signals, ADA
ramps, sidewalks, streetlights
extensive hardscaping,

The work included performing
detailed constructability review of the project, management oversight of the
fieldwork, quality assurance/control of the completed work, source inspection,
safety inspection per Cal-OSHA regulations and enforcement of environmental
compliance including SWPPP, dust control, and execution and cost savings
BMPs.
This Project won the 2014 Project of the Year Award from the American
Public Works Association and CMAA.
Our Work Plan included a detailed draft CPM Schedule through re-sequencing
& merging some stages that maximized the contractor’s use of resources and
reduced the schedule significantly, incorporated utility relocations/coordination
to minimize delay risk. This resulted in at least cutting off four months (25.9%) of
the construction schedule. Additional savings included ~$2M in Construction
Overhead cost and ~$600,000 in CM Inspection cost. This demonstrated
FALCON’s team command of the issues. The total savings also included the
quantified benefits felt by the local residents, businesses, and the traveling public
from the shorter construction duration and smooth transition between various
stages and traffic control.
FALCON had achieved such savings on
our other projects, such as the
completed SR-91/Van Buren
Interchange project where FALCON
Team performed the constructability/
bidability review and recommended
cutting the schedule down to 14-months
from the original 22-months.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion/Renovation & Brine Pipeline
Installation Project, City of Beaumont, CA
The Z&K Team is providing
Construction and Project
Management Services for this
project. The City’s WWTP is
currently treating approximately
3.3 million gallons per day
(MGD) of the permitted capacity
of 4.0 MGD. Per the City’s
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit, once flows at the WWTP
reach 75% of the permitted
capacity, the City is required to
begin the planning, design and funding process to expand the plant. In addition to the
need for more capacity to serve the City’s growing customer base, the City is
mandated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) to upgrade
its WWTP to meet groundwater basin objectives. The two state-mandated upgrades
are total dissolved solids (TDS) and nitrogen reductions. The City of Beaumont’s
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion/Renovation Project will increase the
permitted capacity from 4 MGD to 6 MGD. The WWTP’s new treatment processes will
be implemented to stay within the plant’s existing property, achieve water quality
objectives, and meet build-out flows. To meet the mandated TDS reduction requirements, the City will be implementing a
reverse osmosis (RO) process. The pretreatment for the RO system will include two-stage screening, grit removal,
conventional aeration/biological treatment, and a membrane bioreactor process. The system will continue to utilize UV
disinfection.
The City is also constructing a 23-mile pipeline that will
connect to the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL) in San
Bernardino to discharge brine that will be treated at
Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). This project
will need to be completed while the current WWTP is in
full operation. The IEBL connects to the Orange County
Sanitation District’s (OCSD) Santa Ana River Interceptor
(SARI) brine pipeline above the Prado Dam and carries
brine developed in the Inland Empire to the OCSD’s Plant
1 in Fountain Valley, where the brine will be ultimately
treated.

The FALCON Team has already conducted a thorough
review of the plans, specifications and a field review of the
project site. After meeting with various adjacent
businesses and discussing the potential impacts. It was
discerned that their primary concerns are continuous
access and shorter construction duration. We explained
that our plan of action includes a compressed
schedule and minimal impact on their businesses, that
will provide continuous access to their respective
business at all times. The concerned parties were very
enthusiastic as a result.
Our proposed cut down
on construction duration
by ~80-Working Days will
yield significant cost &
schedule savings. This
means less public inconvenience, less legal exposure,
and stronger public support and appreciation by the
traveling public, businesses, and residents.

Construction Management and Inspection Services
La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project
Our understanding of the construction activities includes
the following basic Standards components:
• All civil/roadwork, approaches shall
comply with the latest Greenbook
2015 Edition standards.
• Coordination with the Coachella
Valley Water District, Frontier
Communications, Southern
California Gas, Spectrum/Charter Communications,
Imperial Irrigation District, and other is required.
• All work and resulting facilities will fully conform to the
current adopted Coachella
Valley State Implementation
Plan (CVSIP) for PM-10 and
including Best Management
Practices during the
construction process.
FALCON’s proposed team led by Wael Faqih, PE as the
“Project Manager” has tremendous experience managing
similar roadway projects and is therefore capable of
delivering this project in much shorter time and under
budget to the City. This process starts with understanding
the plans, specifications, specific site conditions; merging
the expectations of the client and all stakeholders and
coming up with a working plan to address all issues by
ensuring a project delivery ahead of schedule, with the
best quality, safety, and minimal changes with “no claims.”
Mr. Faqih’s strategy on all the projects he managed over
the last 20 years all in the Inland Empire with Counties of
Riverside, San Bernardino, City of Riverside, Moreno
Valley, Lake Elsinore, SBCTA, RCTC, RCTD, and many
agencies.
Mr. Faqih is assisted by Juan Rojas as the Senior Resident
Engineer and Ahmad Faqih as the Resident Engineer and
Dennis Green (PR/Outreach). All have been working
together for several years on all the mentioned projects.
Our team has conducted a thorough review of the plans,
numerous field reviews, and met with many businesses
and other stakeholders/agencies, identified critical utilities,
and identified constricting site conditions that may have an
impact on project elements.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
FALCON will use Primavera Contract Management, to
ensure that accurate and up-to-date information is always
accessible. It provides role-based dashboards with key
performance indicators (KPIs) and powerful reports and
shows the status of RFIs, submittals, payments and
Contract Change Orders. The City of La Quinta will gain
visibility early, so we can prevent minor issues from
becoming major problems. With a personal dashboard, we
will be able to review the latest project status, see new
issues, and identify potential problems. With two clicks, the
Project Manager/Resident Engineer can access the
project details necessary to make decisions and keep
projects on schedule. We can choose from 150 standard
reports or create our own to track budgets, cost variances,
and project changes according to City/Project
requirements — and subsequently analyze comparative
trends and cause and effect among multiple parts of the
project.

Construction Management and Inspection Services
La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project
During project construction, our overall approach is to provide cost-effective material testing services as an integral part of the
construction management team. We will proactively coordinate with Falcon Engineering Services to ensure that materials
testing is performed as efficiently as possible. We will work with you and the City to resolve mate rials testing issues as they
arise and to develop alternative recommendations when necessary.
To promote materials testing uniformity and consistency, Dustin Race will be our primary materials testing technician for thi s
project and will be assigned for the duration. Dustin will be supported by other qualified material testing technicians as
necessary. Dustin is well-versed with Caltrans and Greenbook specifications and standards for public improvement projects.
We are also well-versed with the implementation of Quality Assurance Programs (QAPs) that have been prepared in
accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
Under the directions of the City, FALCON Team consisting of Gonzales
Environmental will coordinate all geotechnical services. This service will include
nesting of bird surveys, removal of vegetation, scheduling compaction testing,
sampling and testing of fresh concrete for compressive strength, aggregate
gradation for concrete and asphalt paving mix design qualification and verification,
compaction testing for AC paving, qualifying Concrete Mix Design for CIDH piling
and sampling for various acceptance testing.
FALCON understands the project construction may temporarily affect the
movement of migratory bird species and their breeding success. Their active nests could be directly or indirectly impacted
such that nest abandonment resulting in the death of eggs or young occurs. Disturbance from construction activities, such as
noise, human presence, and habitat alteration due to the trimming of trees and clearing of native vegetation, could affect the
nesting habits of the special-status and migratory bird species. However, these
impacts would not be considered significant with the implementation of avoidance
and minimization measures described above and below:
If construction is to occur during the MBTA nesting cycle (February 1-August 31),
then a nesting bird survey will be conducted by Gonzales Environmental
Consulting (GEC). The disturbance that causes nest abandonment and/or loss of
reproductive effort (e.g., killing or abandonment of eggs or young) may be
considered take and is potentially punishable by fines or imprisonment. Active bird
nests will be mapped utilizing a hand-held global positioning system (GPS), and a
250’ buffer will be placed around the nest. Construction will not be permitted within
the buffer areas while the nest continues to be active (eggs, chicks, etc.).
• If project activities cannot be avoided during the nesting season (generally
February 1 through August 31), GEC will survey the entire project site’s
footprint, for the 150 meters (500 feet) buffer zone area surrounding the
project site for both diurnal and nocturnal nesting birds, as recommend by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) including burrowing owl,
prior to commencing project related activities (including clearing and grubbing
and/or site preparation).
• In addition to the pre-construction survey described above, during the nesting season, GEC will perform a weekly sweep
for diurnal and nocturnal nesting birds, including burrowing owl, on the first day of ground disturbing activity and/or
construction in any given area and once every subsequent week during which project construction occurs during the
nesting season.
FALCON’s Resident Engineer and the Inspection Staff/Office Engineer will provide all required Oversight to Quality
Control (QC)/Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) - Quality Control Plan (QCP), and all source inspection. Similarly, testing,
approval and production, sampling and testing verification by METS lab inspectors to verify compliance with CT-
QC/QAP, newly created City’s SIQMP Manual and Encroachment Permit.

Construction Management and Inspection Services
La Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project
FALCON requires 10/30-hour OSHA training for all employees, focusing on such areas as
confined spaces, fall protection, and personal safety equipment. In addition, FALCON works
under a drug-free environment, requires pre-employment drug testing, and randomly tests
its existing employees. The Inspectors will attend the Contractors and City Safety Meetings
and promote safety throughout the life of our contract.
FAMILIARITY WITH PROCEDURES & REQUIREMENTS/TEAM COMPETENCE
FALCON’s Resident Engineers and Inspections Staff will coordinate with local agencies and
stakeholders. All work will be performed in compliance with the City’s practices, regulations,
policies, procedures, manuals, and standards. Also (when applicable), this work includes full compliance with Caltrans-LAPM
requirements, standard specifications, standard plans, construction manuals, safety manuals, traffic control requirements,
WATCH Manual to assure safe completion for the requested projects. FALCON Team members are aware and understand
that construction schedules changes and overtime, night work and multiple shifts are plausible, and an essential part of the
construction environment.
The FALCON Team proposes engineers that are aware of the work locations, conditions that could arise, and the necessity
to work whatever hours it takes, for safe completion on budget and on time. FALCON personnel is highly trained in traffic
control requirements of day and night work and safety requirements.
PROJECT STAFFING CONTROLS
Although FALCON shows a strong organization chart with the depth of resources; however; our core staff will comprise of a
Resident Engineer and Roadway Inspector and other “As Needed” Support Staff such as Office Engineer, Electrical/Signal,
SWPPP, and any peak time inspection.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
FALCON’s team will be assisting the City in creating and establishing a comprehensive public
relations strategy for the La Quinta Village Compete Street – A Road Diet Project, through the
website that FALCON will create and publish for the City. FALCON will provide all information needed
to make the project’s website accessible thru the City’s website, FALCON values the role of social
media and how news and information can move faster and reach motorists and residents of the City
to inform them about all achieved milestones and any closures/delays expected.
FALCON intends to set up a video camera on the job site that shows live feed from the job site so
the community can follow the progress of the project. The camera view will be accessible via the
project website, and other websites the City of La Quinta requests to have it on.
Dennis Green will be overseeing the Public Relations/Outreach. He will be implementing a comprehensive Public Outreach
Plan which includes stakeholder identification, community meetings, project collateral materials, and social media content
generation.
The key to any successful outreach campaign is to front-load the outreach effort at
the inception of the project by creating processes that capture, record and report
vital information. This results in the need for less effort as the project progresses.
➢ Public Information Meeting
Our public outreach strategy will begin by meeting with major stakeholders
in the project area to determine what concerns the community may have
with the project. Stakeholders will include emergency service responders,
school administration and transportation, law enforcement, utility owners,
businesses, local transit authorities, local elected officials, and surrounding
jurisdictions. Once we have determined what the significant issues are, we will share the information with the
City to develop a mitigation strategy to address community consensus. After a plan has been established, we
will hold public information meetings both in English and Spanish to describe the scope of the project and our

theme will also be designed if requested. A database will be set up to hold all project material for stakeholders
to view.
We use a program called Truelook that allows us to store
camera footage and convert it into timelapse videos to be
viewed by anyone. The program will enable us to make links
and embedded content that can be placed in any app or
website.
The content is stored indefinitely for the city’s future use.
Upon installation of contractor’s cameras, complying with
Article 8 of Section 4000-Technical Specifications, Truelook
allows us to connect to the camera and broadcast live footage and create time-lapse footage to share with
stakeholders.
FALCON has created and managed content for websites of multiple projects, including providing
detour/closure information and nearby open business via google maps. Google maps allow us to easily
display our updating maps to any website or app with embedded code or link.
➢ Social Media/ Surveys
Facebook and Twitter accounts will be created and branded using the Project Logo, project name and any other
branding established for this project. Consistent updates (at least weekly or more frequently as directed by the
City of La Quinta) will be provided through each social media account via notifications about construction
activity, impacts to traffic patterns, public events, surveys, project photos, and any other relevant project
information.
➢ Public Inquiries and Response
A toll-free project helpline will be established for the project. General inquiries will be logged and responded to
within 24-hours. Additionally, any requests made through our website and social media accounts will also be
recorded and responded to within 24-hours. Utilizing all listings creates a proactive Public Outreach system that
ensures the success of the project on a multitude of fronts. They demonstrate to stakeholders the transparency
and necessity of the goals of the project. Construction projects of a substantial size need a team effort, not just
from those directly involved but the public at large.
SURVEYING
Under the direction of the City’s Project Manager, the FALCON's Resident Engineer will coordinate and oversee all survey
staking services provided by the contractor and ensure that main survey controls & monumentation, and major survey staking
(lines & Grades) of the main structure and ROW limits are verified.
FALCON will establish primary survey control monuments and/or marks to be used throughout the construction period. These
primary control monuments and marks will be used to set construction stakes and/or marks. The
control marks will also be used to do verification
surveys at various stages of work. Survey
monuments, stakes, and marks will be set per
Chapter 12, “Construction Surveys” of the Caltrans
Survey Manual.
FALCON will provide the contractor with an
electronic survey request form. Survey staking
requests must be received a minimum of two (2)
Business Days prior to the installation of the
requested construction staking. Requests received

after 12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Holidays will be
considered as summited at 7:30 a.m. the next Business Day. It is the responsibility of
the contractor to protect the survey control monuments, construction stakes and
construction marks placed by FALCON. If the contractor fails to protect these points, the
stakes will be reset at the earliest convenience, and the contractor will be charged for
the work performed for replacement.
FALCON understands the process required by the agency for compliance with the
appropriate standards and specifications necessary for providing construction survey
services. In addressing the methodology for a typical construction staking project,
FALCON understands that the Caltrans Survey Manual is the governing document by which all surveying services will be
performed.
FALCON also understands that safety is a major concern for this project and thus conducts daily tailgate safety meeting s at
the project site. The purpose of these meetings is to address changes to site conditions that may affect the safety of field
personnel as well as to administer best safety practices for the day.
During construction, our Inspectors will verify grade, alignment, and any
conflicting utilities including proximity to traffic to establish a safe work
environment. We will verify centerline ties, centerline monuments, construction
survey, and construction staking, etc. It is important to find errors in grade at
subgrade where it is much easier to either correct the Contractor's mistake or revise the
grades. If it is a plan error, then we will consult with the designer for clarification.
UTILITY & OUTSIDE AGENCY COORDINATION
Our field staff will coordinate with the contractor and pothole/identify all existing utilities
and verify if any is in conflict with the various construction activities & main structure or
roadway improvements. We will implement the following procedure prior to the start of
work:
• Send notification of pre-construction meeting to all affected utility companies, school administrators, and other agencies.
• Review scope of work review possible conflicts and work with the utility to ensure
project needs are recognized.
• Coordinate with utility companies to identify unknown utilities found. Pothole and
identify existing utilities and protect in place during construction.
PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Successful projects must be administered “depending on Funding Sources.” On La
Quinta Village Complete Streets – A Road Diet Project documentation/administering
and filing system must be done in accordance with the City and Caltrans-LAPM "Local
Assistance Procedures Manual," Guidelines Construction filing system per Chapters
15, 16 and 17 to ensure full funding reimbursement. Project records will be clear and
concise, as FALCON understands the importance of project documentation. We are
fully aware that the files containing materials acceptance tests, Certificates of Compliance, and source inspection of
commercial materials must be complete and logged and are subject to auditing by the City and Caltrans Oversight. Proper
documentation will be crucial for the City’s Funding Reimbursement. We will be utilizing the Caltrans Construction Manual,
relevant sections of Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual Chapters 10, 15, 16, and 17 and applicable plans,
specifications, codes, and standards and the Field Manual for Local Agencies Resident Engineer & Structures
Representative.
FALCON Team will be using Caltrans uniform filing system for organizing records and reports per Chapter 5 of the Construction
Manual. Our proposed staff has extensive Caltrans and City’s documentation experience. Our Office Engineers and Inspectors
know that a complete record of the project must include the following: a full set of all contract drawings, specifications, change

orders, logs, manuals, submittals, RFI's, correspondences with all stakeholders and permitting agencies. Also, must include
reports (daily, weekly, monthly) showing all daily activities, contractors’ manpower, equipment, materials on hand, materials
testing reports and sampling, copies of all permits, SWPPP plan, and all reports and updates, and all other contract documents
related to the construction of the project.
The most important work product that our staff provides is their daily diaries (written daily) which adequately document the
progress of the work. These and other necessary documents will be prepared, submitted to the Resident Engineer, and filed
in accordance with the Caltrans Construction Manual filing system.
We believe that issue resolution and mitigation is primarily accomplished by thoroughly reviewing the project plans and
specifications for constructability and then implementing Caltrans document control and construction management
procedures. Our FALCON Team is made up of individuals who make it their business to know the project better, so that we
are always a few steps ahead of the contractor, preparing for and potentially mitigating concerns before they can become
issues. Our experienced engineers and inspectors also understand the importance of schedule and document control and
know the Caltrans system completely.
Our filing system on the SR-91Van Buren Blvd Interchange, SR-91/La Sierra projects, SR-60/Nason, and Moreno Beach were
audited multiple times by Caltrans and passed with favorable comments from Caltrans. FULL FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT
ACHIEVED BY THESE CLIENTS.
EXPERIENCE WITH FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS AND LAPM (HBP/HBRRP)
Over the past 25+ years, various FALCON Team members (employees and/or consultants) have extensive experience
working with various Cities, Counties, Caltrans District 8 (Structures & District), RCTC, RCTD, and SBCTA managing
numerous projects with various Federal Funding Sources, State and Local measure funds. Note that if a project is partially
federally funded, documentation and administration procedure must comply with the LAPM sections and provisions in order
to secure full reimbursement. Our proposed Project Manager, Wael Faqih, PE has managed many projects with Federal/State,
and Local Funds within the last 15 years “all in the Inland Empire.” All projects listed in this proposal “Managed by Wael Faqih”
are Federally Funded.” All Projects received FULL FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT.
SCHEDULE REDUCTION MATRIX
FALCON Team has recommended reduced construction schedule on many previous projects and demonstrated to these
clients that such proposal is factual through a detailed base lien schedule and making minor stage construction adjustments.
FALCON proved time and time again that these recommendations were very accurate and achieved their goals. Similarly,
FALCON proposes to reduce construction from 16 Months to ~12 Months. This is a ~25% CM schedule and ~22% CM
cost savings. Construction cost savings will be more significant due to the shorter time lease of equipment, shorter
labor, and overall OH costs. This will result in a significantly bid price and attracts more competent bidders that has
the resources to expedite work diligently.
The most important advantage to the City of La Quinta is from acquiring
a contractor that delivers work resulting in a shorter construction
duration, with less public inconvenience to businesses, and to the
traveling public while minimizing risk/legal exposure. Mr. Wael Faqih,
PE, has extensive experience coordinating with Caltrans-Local
Assistance Program, Counties, Funding Agencies (Local, State,
Federal-FHWA), and utility companies, environmental and
regulatory agencies.
SUMMARY
The FALCON Team has the project and construction management expertise, which will allow us to complete complex
assignments successfully within tight schedules and budgets. Many of our key personnel are currently working with many local
agencies, including Caltrans on major projects, so they already possess a detailed level of understanding of your processes
and procedures, which will eliminate any learning curve. FALCON is the most qualified to perform this CM services for their
track record, dedication and in-depth knowledge of all project details.

is familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and recently
assisted the City of San Jacinto with revising their QAP.
City of Perris, Ethanac Road Widening Project (1-2018 – 1-2019)
($30,750.00)
Allen was the project manager and geotechnical engineer for this widening
project which consisted of widening Ethanac Road from Goetz Road to Green
Valley Parkway, a distance of approximately 1.6 miles. The road was widened
to the north, with the new pavement consisting of 0.55 ft. of asphalt concrete
(AC) over 1.45 ft. of Class 2 aggregate base. The existing pavement was
rehabilitated with a 0.12-ft grind and overlay. Other improvements requiring
testing included new curb and gutter, sidewalk, and RCP storm drain.
City of San Jacinto, Revised Quality Assurance Program (QAP)
(8-2017 to 4-2018), ($2,360.00)
The City of San Jacinto had an existing Quality Assurance Program (QAP) based
on the Caltrans QAP template in the Local Assistance Procedures manual. The
City desired an abridged QAP manual for projects off the State Highway System
(SHS) that better reflected local acceptance testing practice. Allen assisted the
City in modifying Appendix D – Acceptance Sampling and Testing Frequencies,
of the Caltrans Quality Assurance Plan. Appendix D was reduced from nine (9)
pages to three (3) pages. The revised QAP was prepared with input and
guidance from Caltrans.
City of San Jacinto, Multiple Street Improvement Projects (2-2016 to Present), (Various Fees)
The City of San Jacinto Street Improvement projects consisted of multiple resurfacing projects throughout the City. Pavement
rehabilitation generally consisted of grind and overlay, with intermittent total reconstruction in severely distressed areas.
Acceptance sampling and testing were performed in accordance with the City’s Quality Assurance Program. During
construction, we provided compaction testing of soil, aggregate base, asphalt concrete. Laboratory testing including aggregate
gradation and R-value. As a geotechnical engineer, Allen worked with the City to help with project design for pavement
rehabilitation recommendations. His services also included project management for our technicians during construction and
laboratory testing.
Allen was also the project manager and worked with the Cities and their design teams for the Coachella Traffic Signal project
and the Rancho Mirage Bob Hope/Gerald Ford Street Improvement projects.
