Subject: Request for Proposals for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
Dear Ms. Mignogna,
Thank you for the opportunity to present our proposal as a response to the Request for Proposals for On -Call Traffic
Engineering Services. Our proposal enclosed herein, outlines TKE Engineering, Inc's (TKE) qualifications to provide
the requested services to the City of La Quinta (City). TKE is a full service, multi -disciplinary consulting firm highly
qualified to perform any and all City services required to successfully complete the City's development and CIP
projects. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assist the City and aware of the City's needs for immediate
assistance. As such we have already cleared our proposed staff's workload to begin work for the City at a moment's
notice. Founded in 2000, TKE is a California Corporation with a local Palm Desert office located at 73993 Highway
111, Suite 201.
Why should the City choose TKE to provide On -Call Consulting Services for Traffic Engineering projects? Please
consider the following:
1. Local Experience —TKE has been working for various municipalities and/or District's in Riverside County since
our firm's founding year in 2000. Throughout the past 23 years, TKE has developed an extensive understanding of
the requirements, agencies and events which are exclusive to various cities in Coachella Valley. Our current
experience providing traffic engineering and on-call plan and map checking for neighboring cities has further
expanded our proposed staff's knowledge of the traffic patterns and critical traffic issues within the local
communities.
2. Team Leadership — The City will benefit greatly by continuing the vision, leadership, and dedication to
community exhibited by TKE's project team. TKE's numerous accomplishments and management skills will help
maintain continuity in the delivery of the services. In particular, Justin Schlaefli, Traffic Engineer will be the client's
representative, and primary contact. Mr. Schlaefli is a registered civil engineer, and his experience extends from
project planning to design and bidding through construction. His excellent communication and management skills
will provide a great benefit to the City. In particular, his experience with "cutting edge" creative engineering
techniques focused on cost control, will ensure that projects provide the maximum value for the public's investment.
Some of Mr. Schlaefli's key strengths are communication, organization and issues resolution. His effective
communication skills ensure that all stakeholders are constantly advised of project progress. He implements a
proactive organizational program to effectively manage the Team's schedule, documents action items with required
follow-up and conducts continuous budget and schedule reviews to anticipate needs for future action items. Lastly,
Mr. Schlaefli's 'can do' approach to all project issues always results in resolution. His perseverance and vast
knowledge and experience of issues will resolve challenges while protecting City interests. The City will find that
Mr. Schlaefli's and TKE team approach provides the best working partnership to meet the City's engineering needs.

Supporting Mr. Schlaefli will be TKE's key traffic personnel, including Senior Vice President, Terry Renner, and Monae
Pugh, Traffic Specialist. All other services will be performed by TKE staff in-house. TKE's team includes the principals
of the firm. As such, they will remain in-place throughout the term of the contract. There will not be any changes
in personnel during the contract duration without prior approval by the City.
3. Qualifications and Experience — TKE is a firm capable of managing and delivering municipal consulting traffic
engineering services. We specialize in providing Traffic Engineering Services including project management, pre
project planning, permitting, design and construction administration of public works and development projects. A
brief list of on-call municipal clients, together with projects that TKE has successfully completed is presented in our
proposal. The City will benefit from our broad range of experience through our intimate understanding of the
common pitfalls for each project variation, and development processing challenges, and our past history of
successfully overcoming these challenges.
In addition, TKE's experience includes a comprehensive understanding of project plans, the Standard Specifications
for Public Works Construction (Green Book), Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, project scheduling programs
(including critical path methodology relating to interagency and interdepartmental coordination), and Caltrans Local
Assistance project processing. Finally, TKE's extensive funding administration experience will also greatly benefit the
City.
4. Our Commitment—TKE is committed to providing high quality, efficient services to meet all of the City's needs.
As Traffic Engineer, Justin Schlaefli will meet with project staff regularly to discuss requirements and scheduling
needs. He will also be in contact with project stakeholders as often as required to keep projects proceeding
efficiently, on schedule and within allocated budgets. It is this personal touch and contact that define our 'local
service' approach. We consider ourselves community builders and take ownership of services requested from TKE,
ensuring that our personnel will be allocated on an as -needed basis in order to successfully complete all projects.
Our broad array of services and in-house team provide the City a trusted consultant to turn to in any challenge, no
matter how simple or complex. We pride ourselves in the management and completion of special, atypical projects
and thrive on challenging budgets and deadlines. It is this commitment to service and diverse array of offerings that
makes us unique and drives our long-standing relationships with our client base, and it is these qualities that make
us 'the right fit' for the City.
5. Our Value — TKE's management team and staff are fundamentally committed to creating value in each task
that we perform. As such, we have created a professional culture wherein each member of our staff constantly
strives for increased efficiency, ultimately allowing us to provide high quality professional services at competitive
rates. This culture of constant value creation and increased efficiencies, ensures that the services contracted to, and
provided by TKE, will always mean good stewardship of resources.
Thank you for your consideration. TKE acknowledges and accepts all of the general terms and conditions presented
in the RFP without any exception. TKE has read and understands the RFP in its entirety, including, without limitation,
the scope and nature of the work, as well as the associated attachments and addenda. This proposal is valid for at
least ninety (90) days. TKE would very much appreciate the opportunity to interview with the City and introduce our
team in person to City staff. Terry Renner is authorized to negotiate and execute an Agreement with the City on
behalf of TKE. If you have any questions, please call Mr. Renner at our office at (760) 895-1949, by cell at (909) 240-

GOAL ACCOMPLISHMENT
The TKE Team is eager and prepared for an opportunity to
support the City of La Quinta in accomplishing its goals
Request for Proposals: On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of La ouinta 0
developed for their CIP and to establish the framework
for making informed decisions regarding the community's
future success. Our team specializes in developing
processes and procedures based on professional
expertise and lessons learned, which we implement on all
of our projects to ensure successful delivery on schedule
and within budget.
For all projects, either development or capital
improvement, the most important aspect of management
will be to ensure that the City's interest is protected to
the maximum extent possible. TKE will ensure that public
funds and impact fees are used for the benefit of the
community.
For development projects, project requirements, impact
mitigation, protecting City interests, project schedule
compliance and budget tracking will be
important. Project requirements will be assessed and
presented to the City's management staff. Upon receipt
of direction from City administration, TKE will be
responsible to verify that development is completed in
compliance with those project requirements. TKE's
effective project management techniques will ensure that
compliance will occur.
TKE's key staff assigned to perform the services required
are identified and discussed in detail within the following
section. As discussed previously, TKE currently maintains
a staff of 44 personnel who are highly qualified to assist
with any of the required services for this contract.
TKE has two unique advantages associated with the
experience of TKE's project team. One benefit of TKE's
project team is our extremely low internal turnover
rate. As a result of our rigorous interview and testing
procedures, coupled with our extremely high employee
satisfaction rates, TKE staff has years of experience
working together. The close relationships each of our
staff members have with one another provide the City
with an extremely well rounded and experienced
team. As such, TKE's project team experience directly
correlates with TKE's firm experience described
previously.
The second benefit of TKE's project team is our internal
training procedures. TKE has strived to develop
techniques that reach outside the box and develop well
rounded individuals committed to providing high quality,
efficient services to meet all of our clients' needs. TKE
trains our staff on every facet of engineering design and
construction to provide a level of knowledge that can
Page 15
identify problems in every phase of a project, from
planning through construction.
It is this commitment to service and diverse array of
offerings that makes us unique and drives our long-
standing relationships with our client base.
Understanding that all aspects of Traffic Engineering are
important to ensure the City's interests are protected and
project schedules are met, our team brings TKE
management level professionals to projects ensuring that
every aspect receives full and comprehensive
consideration. It is this personal touch and contact that
define our 'local service' approach. We consider
ourselves community builders and take ownership of
services requested from TKE, ensuring that our personnel
will be allocated on an as needed basis in order to
complete all services on schedule and within specified
budget. TKE is committed to responding to our clients'
needs as they arise.

Ensuring the safety of the traveling public, as well as,
communicating and fielding public complaints is an
ongoing challenge. Traffic Engineering is sometimes
described as a combination of art and science. TKE has
Page 119
extensive experience communicating with the public,
decision makers, internal stakeholders and those who
work in the public right-of-way, which is critical to
successful results. TKE staff have experience with all of
these aspects including field experience working with
signal technicians and solving timing problems,
experience communicating with decision makers and the
public about transportation challenges, experience
delivering safety and operations improvement projects,
CEQA experience with traffic and parking studies,
testimony and expert witness work in court and more.
TKE's goal is the successful project delivery of the City's
traffic engineering needs. Our definition of successful
project delivery is:
• Task/Project Completion that Meets all Project
Safety Requirements
• Task/Project Completion that Protects the City's
Interests
• Task/Project Completion on Schedule
• Task/Project Completion within Budget
To successfully achieve each of the items listed above, it
is vital that an efficient and effective form of
communication is maintained throughout the project
duration. TKE's staff is highly trained in the art of
communication. By way of phone calls, emails, and in
person meetings, TKE regularly and routinely keeps City
staff informed of all aspects of the project. Through the
preparation of meeting minutes, progress reports and
project update memorandums TKE ensures that City staff
is fully appraised of the project status.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
TKE's implementation plan includes the following key
elements which we routinely provide for each of our
projects:
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
TKE provides effective city engineering, land
development, and project management services to a
variety of clients. We have successfully delivered
extensive and highly visible development projects, street
improvement, traffic improvement, drainage
improvement, water, wastewater and facility
improvement projects for the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments, County of San Bernardino

City of La Quinta 0
and Riverside, Cities of Coachella, Banning, Calimesa,
Moreno Valley, Chino, Glendora, EI Monte, South EI
Monte, Corona, Highland, Hesperia, Colton, Upland,
Fontana, Yucaipa, Rialto, Redlands, Wildomar, Lake
Elsinore, and Riverside and for the Municipal Agencies
San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, Rubidoux
Community Services District, Mission Springs Water
District, East Valley Water District, Mission Springs Water
District, Coachella Water Authority, San Bernardino
Municipal Water Department, Rubidoux Community
Services District, East Valley Water District, Three Valleys
Municipal Water District, Monte Vista Water District, and
Maywood Mutual Water Company. TKE's approach has
consistently allowed our partner agencies to fulfill their
missions of delivering the best value for the public's
investment.
TKE's management approach includes:
MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS
TKE documents project progress for all projects assigned
to TKE by a comprehensive project management
summary. The summary includes project name and
related number, description of progress, budget status,
schedule compliance, completed deliverables, and
anticipated upcoming accomplishments.
COMMUNICATION
Communications with City staff is another important
component to effective project management. In addition
to the monthly progress reports, TKE meets with clients
as needed to ensure the projects are proceeding as
anticipated. We document each discussion or meeting
with notes and electronically mail them to the project
team within three days of the meeting/conference
indicating action items and a schedule for completion of
these items. Finally, TKE welcomes direct lines of
communication between the City and all Key Staff for any
and all project needs.
RECORD KEEPING
TKE keeps records in an organized filing system both in
hard copy and electronic forms. This organized filing
system allows TKE to access records immediately should
they be needed. Additionally, TKE can provide
comprehensive project records to the City upon
completion of each project.
Page 120
MEETINGS
TKE meets with project stakeholders as needed including
the public, permitting agencies, utilities, etc. We meet
with them at the project's onset and throughout the
course of project development to ensure all stakeholder
project needs are considered in the project design. All
meeting preparation (City Staff Reports, agendas,
exhibits, slide shows, etc.) will be prepared by TKE for
each meeting. Again, meetings will be documented. TKE
has provided numerous similar presentations to Councils
(closed sessions, council meetings, community meetings,
etc.).
TEAM MEETINGS
Team meetings include all parties that have any interest
in the project development. In particular, the City's
Engineering and Public Works Departments will be close
working partners with TKE in project development and
environmental compliance for capital projects.
CIP PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management will be an essential element in all
types of project delivery. Effective communications will
lead to effective management. Management will include
weekly reviews of project budget and schedules and
regular meetings with all project shareholders.
For all projects, the most important aspect of
management will be to ensure that the City's interests are
protected to the maximum extent possible and project
schedules are met. TKE will ensure that public funds and
impact fees are used for the benefit of the
community. Any deviation from standards and
requirements will be referred to the City and TKE will
implement direction given by City staff. Maintaining
excellent communications will prevent any project
processing misunderstandings and will avoid project
delays. TKE management techniques always result in
efficient project delivery.
Managing other consultants is another area that TKE
excels. Due to our extensive variety of project
experience, TKE has a vast amount of knowledge with all
public works improvement projects. With this
understanding, TKE is able to manage others and avoid
any costly project changed conditions and delays.

REGULATORY, SUBDIVISION MAP ACT
AND CITY STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
Another primary function of TKE staff is to verify
compliance with aspects of federal, state, and local laws
as well as the subdivision map act and City standards. TKE
is already well versed with federal, state and local
development law and the map act
requirements. Further, TKE will verify that all
construction related to engineering components, are
constructed in accordance with these requirements and
standards.
FEDERAL STATE FUNDING
COMPLIANCE
TKE will verify that all construction activities, records
management and processing are completed in
accordance with funding requirements including Caltrans
Construction Manual and Federal /State
requirements. TKE is already working closely with
Caltrans Local Assistance on numerous other projects and
is very familiar with funding requirements ensuring that
the City's projects will be delivered efficiently. TKE also
has current experience with Caltrans District 8 preparing
requests for authorization to proceed to construction,
programming change requests, and variance to finance
letter requests to conform to actual bid amounts.
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
TKE is familiar with a number of funding sources for
capital improvement projects. TKE has prepared
numerous applications and administered these funds for
a number of agencies. TKE has extensive experience with
Federal and State funded projects including:
Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP)
Transportation Enhancement Program (TE)
Congestion Management & Air Quality
(CMAQ)
A Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
A Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG)
A U.S. EPA Clean Water Grant
A U.S. Army Corp Environmental Infrastructure
A U.S. HUD Community Development Block
Grants
Active Transportation Program (ATP)
o Safe Routes to School (SR2S)

A Proposition 1
o Storm Water Grant Program
o Integrated Regional Watershed
Management Program
o Flood Management Program
o Proposition 84
o Proposition 1E
o Proposition 50
o Proposition 68
We will apply this knowledge to process current projects
and continue to work with City staff to match funding
streams with proposed projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Environmental permitting for projects within the CIP may
be complex and involve coordination with multiple
jurisdictional agencies, in addition to the normal CEQA
analysis and determination. Our preliminary review of
the CIP indicates that many projects projected will qualify
for a categorical exemption. Other projects may require
some additional environmental permit requirements
including Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permits
from the United States Army Corps of Engineers, CWA
Section 401 permits from the Regional Water Quality
Control Board, Section 1602 Permits from the California
Department of Fish and Game and potential US ESA
Section 7 permitting from the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service. TKE has experience in the acquisition of
each of these different permit types and will provide
excellent management and oversight to ensure
environmental compliance permitting is implemented.
G. SO L U T I ON S TO
CRITICAL ISSU ES
With the variety of shifting technologies, policies and laws
in the transportation industry, it is critical for the City to
be supported by a true expert in the industry. One
example is the shift from a level of service (LOS) standard
under CEQA to a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) standard
consistent with SB743. TKE staff's are not only
knowledgeable with respect to these changes but are at
the forefront in implementing these changes statewide.
Request for Proposals: On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
City of La Quinta 0
Similarly, as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
technologies continue to shift, it is critical to not only be
aware of these changes but to actively prepare for these
changes. TKE staff are likewise acknowledged experts in
the ITS industry having designed and built multiple cutting
edge ITS projects including advanced signal control (Smart
Signals) and Connected Vehicle applications. One final
example of challenges which could face the City through
the course of this contract include the implementation of
a new Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS),
new controllers and a new Traffic Operations Center
(TOC). These changes will involve implementation of new
signal timing plans. TKE staff have deep knowledge of
these changes and can help the City of Downey prepare
for and update City files and procedures to take full
advantage of these future changes.

SE R V I C E S: STE P S-
F 0 R- S U C C E S S
The tasks necessary for completion of assigned activities
will vary depending on the nature and originator of a
request. Generally, task assignments will be divided into
two categories.
First, requests related to safety will be prioritized and will
follow standard traffic maintenance or citizen complaint
procedures with proper documentation and feedback
provided to any public stakeholders. Documentation and
swift handling of these requests is important to reduce
liability on the City once a request has been identified as
a potential safety hazard. If the City has a standard
process for handling and responding to these requests,
that process will be followed. If not, TKE's staff have
checklists and processes which have been successfully
utilized in the past which will be suggested.
The majority of these requests will be generated by the
public. This includes assistance to investigate and provide
written responses to complaints or requests received by
residents and to assist Traffic Signal Maintenance
Technicians/Electricians and other City staff with traffic
signal programming, timing, and communications. If a
request is not related to an immediate operations or
safety concern, the task assignment will be categorized
accordingly in a second category with regulatory or time
Page 122
critical requests prioritized first in order to ensure timely
responses. The scope of the task will be examined and a
process for accomplishing the assignment will be
discussed with City staff. Milestones and acceptable
deadlines will be established and followed through to
successful project completion.
After initially categorizing and prioritizing a project,
personnel can be assigned and appropriate software can
be utilized for management. Depending on what process
governs, either a manual process or the use of online
management software may be warranted. For example,
during plan -check, the design module of Virtual -PM may
be appropriate for effectively tracking reviews and
submittals as well as tracking comments. For a Caltrans
LAPM or Construction Management project, the project
management module in Virtual -PM may be appropriate.
This module creates a centralized file structure while
recording milestones and progress/approval of RFI's,
Submittals, punch lists, progress payments, daily reports
and more. Software such as Virtual -PM also provides a
dashboard which can be utilized in tracking project
progress and milestones. This creates a unified, visible
and accountable record to ensure success. Additional
software for communication and file -sharing such as
Teams, Dropbox, Google Docs, Zoom and more are
commonly used depending on the preferences of an
agency and requirements of the assignment.
In addition to software packages mentioned above,
manual processes can be utilized for a customized work-
flow. This may be appropriate for signal timing work such
as a citywide bicycle timing update or for citizen
complaints following a Neighborhood Traffic Calming
Manual.
Regardless of process, it is critical to follow the following
steps for success:
1. Understand the assignment
2. Prioritize the assignment
3. Understand constraints (regulatory, physical or
otherwise)
4. Agree on milestones and deadlines for
accountability
5. Resource the assignment accordingly
6. Track progress and report status

7. Successfully complete the assignment
We are sure that the successful results of our past
performance in the delivery of projects, along with our
firm's proven ability to utilize our experience for a
complete and well -engineered project, will provide a
valuable resource to the City. A list of our relative
experience is shown on the following pages.
