This $3.6 million project was funded by gas and local taxes. The project limits included 30,000 LF of primarily residential roadways with several main arterials. The project scope included coming up with a cost effective street design to mitigate deteriorated pavement conditions, conducting a drainage analysis that efficiently conveyed surface runoff, producing a design of effective roadway and alley transitions, and replacing damaged concrete items including curb, gutter, sidewalks, and driveways. OE conducted a pavement analysis of Area A and concluded that the best treatment method would be a full roadway reconstruction. As part of the pavement analysis, OE conducted a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, and made a recommendation for the most cost-efficient rehabilitation method, and chose Full-Depth Reclamation. Furthermore, OE designed a custom rolled swale with colored concrete for Area A to preserve the traditional rustic character of the neighborhood, while capturing surface runoff and preventing erosion and ponding. As for Area C, a pavement analysis was conducted and indicated that this Area will need a 3.5” grind and overlay with an intermittent layer of pavement reinforcing fabric. In addition, major improvements to the existing curb and gutter system were implemented, which would have otherwise become a perpetual issue. OE pointed out that without the proper construction of curb and gutter and the adequate conveyance of the drainage runoff, the neighborhood would be susceptible to further degradation and will be in need of a reconstruction. Lastly, 106 ramps were replaced to meet ADA compliance, and five (5) cross-gutters were added outside the two areas.

Measure I is a local funding measure for La Mirada's infrastructure maintenance. The project area was exclusively residential with parks, schools, pedestrian walkways and equestrian trails. The project encompassed localized street reconstructions, street resurfacing, slurry seal, storm drain lining of the existing corrugated metal storm drain, and concrete repairs of curb, gutter and sidewalks with ADA access ramps; adjustment of manholes and valve cans and new striping and traffic loop detector replacement. In addition, the existing slotted cross gutters required replacement to current roadway standards. OE completed the field investigations and necessary topographic surveys to provide a cost effective design solution that maximized construction dollars through the use of thin lift ac overlay, spot roadway reconstruction prior to overlay and slurry seal, and limited roadway reconstruction. OE videotaped all the existing corrugated metal storm drains within the project area, and the video confirmed that the metal pipe contained debris and the flow line was rusted and needed repairing. Furthermore, the project required OE to meet with City staff to determine that in-situ form in-place lining is the most cost effective method to rehabilitate the storm drain pipes.

The City obtained federal funding to provide pedestrian and traffic safety improvements on Placentia Avenue from Wilson Street to Adams Avenue through a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Grant. This very busy corridor moves pedestrian, bicycle, commuter and emergency services traffic past Estancia High School, the City of Public Works Yard, adjacent fire station, residential streets and the 208 acre Fairview Park open space. OE was responsible for preparing the construction documents including landscaping and irrigation plans. The project provided a landscaped median island through the residential segment south of Adams Avenue, through Fairview Park and by Estancia High School. The raised median layout incorporated enhanced turn pockets to handle increased queue volumes along with a special drainage system in the super elevated area to capture rain run-off and then move it underground within the median to be controlled and utilized as supplemental irrigation. A subterranean irrigation system will also eliminate overspray and wet pavement along this curving, hilly roadway. Two distinct landscape palettes were chosen to compliment the surrounding area by providing a colorful aspect to the residential and high school segments with a corresponding natural aspect to stay with the theme of the park segment. To facilitate the county maintenance vehicles, who traverse the roadway to access the flood control channel ramps, the design provides a mountable center median section. To illustrate both the new raised median layout and the landscape palettes, OE prepared color photo renderings which were used at community outreach meetings. The scope of work also included conducting community outreach meetings, coordinating with Orange County Flood Control District, Mesa Water District and Caltrans.

By implementing this approach, we feel that we are proactively ensuring quality and the successful design of any given project. Our Quality Policy states that OE is committed to understanding and meeting the City’s needs and complying with statutory and regulatory obligations at all times. Therefore, all projects will be executed in a manner that emphasizes safety, quality, schedule and maximum cost effectiveness. Our team prides itself on the quality of the engineering and construction management services it provides. As a matter of fact, members of our project teams make great efforts to assure that each project is of the highest possible quality, meeting or exceeding the needs and expectations of our valued Clients. OE’s Quality System consists of three integrated and coordinated components; these are: 1. The Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manual (Design and Construction Projects) 2. The Standard Operating Procedures 3. The Project Quality Control Plan. This is the Project/Site specific QC plan. Quality Assurance Achieving design quality is the foundation for keeping costs under control during construction. Nothing is more important than design quality. It must be stressed during all stages of project design, including concept development, preliminary design, detailed design, and bid and award. Effective Construction Management (CM) begins during design because the costs of CM, including change orders and claims, are largely determined by the design quality. Nothing provides a better return on investment than focusing resources to produce a quality design. Emphasizing design quality and design clarity is the surest way to minimize the amount of change orders and construction costs. There is no better or more effective way to control total project costs than producing well-documented, well designed plans and specifications. Quality assurance is a proactive measure taken to ensure the systems and procedures are in conformance with the City’s requirements and expectations. Plans and specifications must be of high quality, which means they must be clear and understandable, complete, accurate, consistent, and constructible. The Contractor receiving these plans should know exactly what to bid thus minimizing areas of interpretation to a minimum. The requirement for public bidding puts additional pressure on the design engineering team to achieve both quality and clarity in plans and specifications. Accuracy and consistency among the calculations, drawings, specifications, and all project documents are essential to achieving the desired project quality.

This three tiered review allows for error mitigation on three separated levels of detail: ground level (drafting, calculations, and document formatting), project management level (design and project intent compliance) and quality assurance level (completeness of document and ensure “biddable” plans). Plan checks will ensure that the plans meet the 5 C’s: consistent, clear, correct, constructible, and complete. Our project engineers and project managers recognize that quality is the result of several processes. It requires many individuals performing many appropriate activities at the right time during the plans development process. Quality Control does not solely consist of a review after a product is completed. It is an approach and a realization that quality is something that occurs throughout the design process. QC means performing all activities in conformance with valid requirements, no matter how large or small their overall contribution to the design process. Good CAD techniques, attention to detail, and ensuring the plans are correct and useful to the contractor are also essential to quality. The design team follows OE’s established design policies, procedures, standards and guidelines in the preparation and review of all design products for compliance and good engineering practice as directed by the Project QC Plan. The elements of the QC Plan are as follows: 1. Project Info (title, number, location, description, plan scope, plan overview) 2. Project Organization (Key personnel, responsibilities, and authority) 3. Project Communications Plans (chain of communications outlined) 4. Contract Review and Submittals (submittal schedule & log, review & approval) 5. Design Control (design plan, design reviews) 6. Project Specifications (PS&E, industry quality standards, OE quality standards, other specs) 7. Sub-consultant Qualifications (prequalification of sub-consultant, qualification of testing labs) 8. Process Control (listing of quality controlled tasks, process coordination and communication) 9. Required QC Inspections 10. Control of Nonconformance (identifying, recording, and reporting nonconformance) 11. Corrective & Preventive Action 12. Document Control Plan 13. Project Closeout (closeout checklist/report, lessons learned) 14. Additional QC Requirements (client specifics) Design Scope of Work Our corporate culture thrives on innovation, and we are dedicated to keeping up with industry standards and new technologies. OE provides ingenuity in its engineering solutions. We consider every project an opportunity to make peoples' lives more comfortable. As a company, we feel it's important Page | 19 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES SECTION D: UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH to base our goals and objectives on a solid foundation of good corporate ethics. The following is our typical scope of work for design engineering services. Phase I – Site Research Kick-Off Meeting OE will set up a design kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss the scope of work, objectives, design criteria, technical requirements, and project schedule. It is important that the scope of work and schedule be reviewed and finalized by the City at this meeting to ensure a smooth and successful project. Deliverables: - Meeting minutes and agenda Research & Review Available Data The OE team will compile and review all records and documents from the City. Existing documentation research that will be reviewed includes State, County, City, utility, and other pertinent records and documents, existing street, signal, storm drain, gas, sewer, and water main improvement plans, topographic data maps, record drawings, utility plans, geotechnical reports, survey centerline and private property monument data, and other important information. All records will be compiled and returned to the City upon project completion. OE will conduct existing records research and coordination with utilities in the area and all design work will be coordinated with the affected utilities. Deliverables: - Existing records matrix & copies of existing records (roadway, right-of-way, utility) Utility Research & Notification We believe that utility notifications are a low cost/high value component of every design project. First, we focus on confirming the contacts for all existing utility facilities. OE will conduct an online design investigation which allows our staff to research and confirm the most recent contacts for all affected utilities. Each company will be contacted & informed of the upcoming project. OE then conducts a three-pronged utility coordination/investigation protocol which involves a detailed local utility research, a three-step utility notification protocol (inform, advise, relocate/adjust). In addition to the minimum of two coordination meetings, we will meet as many times as necessary with the affected agencies at no additional cost to the City. We will notify all affected utility companies to alert them of the upcoming project and request verification of the sizes, depths, and locations of their underground lines, facilities, and substructures within the project vicinity. After receipt of information from the utilities, OE will cross check the plotted locations with field review information to ensure the existing utility lines are shown in their proper locations. OE will ensure that final design is compatible with all utilities to be installed, relocated, adjusted, or otherwise modified within the project area. Deliverables Page | 20 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES SECTION D: UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH - Utility contact matrix - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd utility notices & utility notification log & correspondence to each utility Site Evaluation OE will schedule a site inspection and evaluation. OE will verify records drawings and data, identify proposed improvements, inventory roadway signage and traffic signal equipment and existing pavement markings, and take note of the existing grades at the curb ramps for ADA Compliance. OE will prepare a photo log of key project areas. Additionally, we will mark out and identify the join limits for the proposed curb and gutter, sidewalk and other parkway improvements that will require specific survey shots. Deliverables: - Site evaluation notes, photos, & video (parkway, roadway, & other repair locations) - Pavement marking and roadway signage inventory - Survey notes, topographic survey basemap, CAD survey files Topographic Survey OE will coordinate with the City to ensure that all desired improvements are noted prior to the initiation of the design survey to ensure that all necessary data is obtained and considered in the design. The OE survey team will conduct all necessary topographic survey work items. Our team provides high quality topographic land surveys as well as construction staking and tie-out surveys. Deliverables: - Survey notes, topographic survey basemap, CAD survey files Utility Potholing OE will prepare a detailed utility pothole plan which will be coordinated with the proposed roadway and traffic signal improvements. Potholing will allow the avoidance of lines for the new traffic signal foundations, catch basins, and other pertinent items. Based on the locations of underground utilities provided by record drawings, surveys, and responses from the first utility notices, the locations, along the proposed storm drain alignment will be identified on a Pothole Exhibit for City Review prior to engaging the Potholing Company Safe-R-Dig. A report of their findings is prepared and a survey crew collects finished surface elevations to complete the findings. Deliverables: - Plan with pothole location, depth, material, and size Phase II – Preliminary Design Base Sheets The base map will be prepared with compilation of the research records, topographic survey data and underground utility line records obtained from as-built plans from utility companies. All plans Page | 21 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES SECTION D: UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH will be developed using the latest AutoCAD software. Base maps will be prepared at 1”=40’ scale using conventional line style. OE will store text annotation as a separate layer. Deliverables: - Street, right-of-way, and utility base maps (CAD & PDF file) Traffic Analysis OE can propose a sub-consultant to provide traffic counts, study, and calculation of the updated traffic index for projects. However, in the occasion that the City already has a team for traffic study, OE will work with the City’s team to deliver the traffic study report. Deliverables: - Traffic Index Study Report (original and hard copy) Geotechnical Investigation OE has worked with a number of qualified sub-consultants for Material Testing & Geotechnical Investigation, and can bring forth a sub-consultant to team up with for this project. In the occasion that the City already has a Material Testing & Geotechnical Investigation team, OE will work with the City’s team to fulfill this component of the proposal. Deliverables: - Pavement investigation/evaluation, geotechnical, and materials reports (original & PDF) Environmental Documentation OE will provide environmental engineering services as required to satisfy CEQA & NEPA requirements. OE will submit environmental findings to Caltrans Environmental Section and/or the City along with recommendations. Mitigated negative Declaration and other resolution of findings will be submitted for approval by City Council. At the City’s request, OE will prepare a Technical Noise Study. 35% Plans & Estimates (Moved text from PS&E Submittal) Once the site evaluation, topographic survey, traffic index study, pavement evaluation and base maps for the project area have been completed, OE will immediately begin the preparation of the PS&E to make submissions. Our design team will begin to populate the plan set with the necessary plan and profile information. OE will also coordinate with adjacent agencies or utilities and submit the necessary plans for their review or approval. Before submitting hard copies to the City and to all other affected utility companies, OE will submit an electronic copy (in AutoCAD 2013 and pdf). Once that is submitted, OE will coordinate a Plan Check Meetings with the City. OE will also prepare a summary of the submittal review comments and scanned red-lined plans in electronic format on CD. Phase III – Final Design Prepare 65% and 90% PS&E Submittals Page | 22 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES SECTION D: UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH Once we receive the City’s comments on the 35% design submittal, OE will work expeditiously to incorporate any comments or changes, and begin preparing the next submissions of the plans. Each submittal will be preceded by submission of an electronic copy. Our plans will vary depending on the project and could include more than roadway plans and profile. The cost estimate development will be a continuous process which begins at project inception and ends with design completion. Our office constantly updates the unit price records from recent local projects in an effort to provide the most accurate project estimated costs. OE will provide an updated cost estimate at each submittal. With the use of our modern Civil 3D software, we are able to track the quantities and costs while preparing the plan set. This allows us to keep the cost in mind as we conduct our design. The cost estimates for the construction shall be based on the quantity take off for the project. OE will coordinate and conduct value engineering study/analysis for any proposed improvements. Clarity of bid items, site control, and payment method for each item of work are crucial in the preparation of the project specifications. We will ensure that each pay item is clearly referenced and described in each applicable section of work. The specifications will have all necessary contacts for utilities or residents that have special concerns, and will delineate all items needing relocation on the Contractor’s part. If specific details or photographs need to be included in the specifications our staff will gladly prepare them as well. Close attention will be paid to the delineation of each bid item to ensure that the specified project scope covers the City’s full intent. Deliverables: - PS&E in hard copy & soft copy - CD of all submittal review comments/responses and red-lined plans 100% & Final PS&E Submittal Once the City has made the 3rd review of the PS&E, OE will incorporate the plan check comments into the 100% PS&E Submittal. OE will expeditiously work towards the completion and submittal of the 100% PS&E. It is not anticipated that any major changes will be required for the 100% Submittal and it will be our goal to have a quick turnaround so that the City can actively pursue getting this project out to bid. Additionally, if upon submittal of the 100% PS&E package it is noted that minor changes are needed, OE will incorporate all necessary changes. At this phase plans will be guaranteed to meet the 5 C’s, consistent, clear, correct, constructible, and complete. Topographic survey plan submission will be in the latest version of AutoCAD. Deliverables: - Complete set of plans (24” x 36” double matte 4mm mylar sheets) - Complete unbound project specifications (single-sided prints on white letter paper) - Project quantities and cost estimate - Digital copy of PS&E Package Phase VI – Bid/Construction Bid Phase/Construction Assistance Page | 23 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES SECTION D: UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH OE will provide ongoing support services during the bid phase.

Majdi Ataya PE, ex-Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer for the City of La Habra, is a seasoned engineer with over 32 years of solid and diversified experience in the public works sector. He is extremely familiar with the process of project management and design. He is a highly effective communicator and manager with an outstanding assimilation ability. Majdi is able to adapt and relate to all levels of management, and retain high energy levels and enthusiasm for the project at hand. Majdi understands the importance of excellent communication with public agencies and will be a dependable extension of your staff. Work Experience PCH at Vista Montana/Anza Avenue Intersection Improvement, Torrance Widening • Right-of-Way • Landscape & Irrigation • Environmental Reporting Majdi was the QA/QC Manager for the City of Torrance on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) at Vista Montana/Anza Avenue Intersection Improvement Project. The proposed project limits include the high-profile intersection of PCH and Vista Montana/Anza Avenue and the immediately adjacent north/south and east/west areas (500 feet in each direction). The City of Lomita is east of the project area, Redondo Beach is north of the intersection, Palos Verdes Peninsula sits to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Multi-agency coordination was essential to ensuring success on the project. Commercial businesses and multi-family developments can be found throughout the project limits. The purpose of the project was to increase the operational capabilities of the intersection. This was accomplished by eliminating the split phase signal operation and converting to an eight-phase operating signal. With the eight-phase operation, PCH (east/west) movements will remain the same. Southbound Anza will have 5 travel lanes; dual left turn lanes, dual through lanes and a dedicated right-turn lane. Northbound Vista Montana will have 4 travel lanes; dual left turn lanes, one through lane and through/right turn lane. Residential Street Rehabilitation Project, I-94, Torrance Residential Roadway • Drainage Improvements • R&R • ADA Compliance Majdi was the QA/QC Manager for the City of Torrance to rehabilitate streets in Areas A & C. This $3.6 million project was funded by gas and local taxes. The project limits included 30,000 LF of primarily residential roadways with several main arterials. The project scope included coming up with a cost effective street design to mitigate deteriorated pavement conditions, conducting a drainage analysis that efficiently conveyed surface runoff, producing a design of effective roadway and alley transitions, and replacing damaged concrete items including curb, gutter, sidewalks, and driveways. A pavement analysis of Area A was conducted and concluded that the best treatment method would be a full roadway reconstruction. As part of the pavement analysis, a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis was conducted, and made a recommendation for the most cost-efficient rehabilitation method, and chose Full-Depth Reclamation. Furthermore, a custom rolled swale was designed with colored concrete for Area A to preserve the traditional rustic character of the neighborhood, while capturing surface runoff Page | 26 ONWARD ENGINEERING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES APPENDIX A: STAFF RESUMES and preventing erosion and ponding. As for Area C, a pavement analysis was conducted and indicated that this Area will need a 3.5” grind and overlay with an intermittent layer of pavement reinforcing fabric. In addition, major improvements to the existing curb and gutter system were implemented, which would have otherwise become a perpetual issue. It was pointed out that without the proper construction of curb and gutter and the adequate conveyance of the drainage runoff, the neighborhood would be susceptible to further degradation and will be in need of a reconstruction. Lastly, 106 ramps were replaced to meet ADA compliance, and five (5) cross-gutters were added outside the two areas. Flower Street Rehabilitation Project, Bellflower ARHM Overlay • Digouts • PCC Work • Curb/Gutter/Sidewalk • ADA Ramps • Federal Grant Majdi was the Principal-in-Charge & QA/QC Manager on the Flower Street Rehabilitation Project in the City of Bellflower. The project limits were a 1.75 mile long 56’ wide arterial roadway, between Flora Vista Street on the east, and the West City Limit. The scope of work involved a uniform 2” grind and 2” ARHM overlay from lip of gutter to lip of gutter, and localized dig outs for specific areas of failed pavement. The project called for PCC work that included curb, gutter, and sidewalk, striping/pavement markings, traffic signal loop replacement and the necessary curb ramp improvements in order to accommodate ADA access. The project required preparing Caltrans plans in order to obtain an encroachment permit for the new ADA access ramps at the intersection of Flower Street and Lakewood Boulevard, State Hwy 19. The permit plans required property survey to establish ROW limits to complete the ramp design. This rehabilitation project was funded using a federal grant and the plans, specifications and estimate were designed to meet all federal requirements. Irvine Center Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Project, Irvine PS&E • Median Improvements • Landscape Median • Grind & Overlay • Curb/Gutter/Sidewalk • ADA Ramps Majdi Ataya provided Quality Control/ Quality Assurance on this project, providing engineering services for street improvement plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates (PS&E). The project consisted of approximately 1.5 miles of roadway and median improvements on Irvine Center Drive from Jeffrey Road to Culver Drive. Irvine Center Drive is a major through fair in the City of Irvine and is an arterial 6 lane roadway with a raised and landscaped median. The design phase included the full depth reconstruction or grind and overlay of the entire roadway as well as the removal and replacement of curb, gutter, sidewalk, medians and landscaping and replacing access ramps in compliance with ADA regulations.
