Senior staff will conduct a formal independent project review at milestone stages. We will analyze all project documents clarity, schedule and cost control, errors and/or omissions and compliance with City requirements. Michael Baker understands that project quality is our responsibility. Schedule Management We understand the importance of meeting the deliverable deadlines, and our reputable team is dedicated to meeting each task order milestone for all assignments. Michael Baker has ample resources and uses state-of-the-art resource management software to maintain schedule compliance. Corporate policy requires frequent updating of staffing and workload projections so tracking systems reflect the latest available information. This allows our project teams to be supplemented from in-house resources to meet surges in workload or unexpected deadlines. A draft schedule will be provided at the kick-off meeting that illustrates the overall work breakdown structure and scope of work. The schedule will be a dynamic document, updated throughout the life of the project, and shared with the City as updates are made. It will also establish project milestones and critical path elements as part of the overall context of the project. Cost Control Weighing any proposed improvements against the project's purpose and needs while considering cost and longevity is critical. Michael Baker looks for ways to provide additional value and/or improvement opportunities without increasing the project costs with creative but cost effective and practical solutions. Additionally, our Oracle -based ERP manages and control costs throughout the corporation. This system enables us to compare actual project costs with negotiated budgets as well as forecasted costs on a weekly basis. Our internal accounting cost controls protect Michael Baker and our clients because it requires properjustification and documentation prior to any project cost increase.

In additional, Michael Baker offers over 70 other transportation professionals across Southern California. Many of the key team members assigned to this contract have experience working with or in the City of La Quinta adding value through their knowledge of and familiarity with the City's policies. Our team offers the expertise and resources to support contract task orders using our in-house staff. We have provided key team member resumes above. Staff Experience Michael Baker has an outstanding reputation in the field of traffic and civil/public works engineering. Traffic—whether it is from a residential area, planned community, shopping center, industrial park, or future highway—affects the entire transportation circulation system. It is essential that the extent of this effect be analyzed and that all aspects and possible measures to improve any adverse impacts be studied. Consideration must be given, not only to the effect of one particular area, but also to the consequence in the surrounding area. At Michael Baker, we recognize that the City is seeking a consultant that fully understands the complexities and nuances of the services provided under this Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning Services contract. The Michael Baker Team has the resources and experience to deliver on those services. We have worked throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California through both as -needed contracts and project specific assignments from planning to design and into construction. This experience provides our staff with the knowledge to deliver projects efficiently and successfully. The team identified for this project is local to the Valley and can easily meet at the City, in the field, or on-site to discuss a project, task order or improvement measures for a project. Selecting a local firm reduces potential project costs for field visits, meetings, or public engagement. Our office is located within 15 minutes of City Hall, allowing our team to meet on short notice and making our team of experts readily accessible to City staff. Traffic Signal Operations Communications / ITS Michael Baker is well versed in preparing design plans for a wide range of communication types including hardwired, fiber optic, and wireless hybrid systems as well as other ITS elements such as closed- circuit television systems (CCTV), dynamic message signs (DMS), system detection systems, and video detection systems. In addition to our field design services, we are experienced in visioning, designing and installation equipment and infrastructure to supportI . local and regional traffic management centers (TMC s). U. Traffic signal systems and their operations is one of the many unique skill sets Michael Baker provides to our public sector clients throughout California. Our services range from the expertise in signal system corridor evaluation and modeling to optimization and field verification and support. Evaluation of a current corridor includes reviewing the existing condition of the traffic signal system and its timing plans which, respectively, includes a physical layer such as fiber connections and a digital layer such as timing inputs and controller clock drift. The corridor system can also be evaluated through a timing run via the floating car method to identify disruptions along the corridor. Page 125 INTEANATI0NAL On -Call Traffic Engineering Services City of La Quinta Fiber Communication & Troubleshooting Many Cities are challenged with implementing signal and traffic improvement projects with their current communication infrastructure. The current infrastructure may be able to support additions but can be difficult to maintain and sustain for future growth. Due to the size of the city and the number of signalized intersections, it may be difficult to make a full system -wide network change. As the City deploys fiber and additional city improvement projects such as parks, libraries, fire stations, police stations, etc. The City will need assistance in understanding how they can leverage the fiber optic communication system deployed by traffic to efficiently move data to City Hall. For any communication issues between the existing TMC and the field, a unique service offering Michael Baker's team can provide is a fiber and communication system inventory assessment inclusive of testing speed and health of fiber optic cable links (OTDR) and verifying set up and operations of existing network switches. We have performed these services on recent projects for Los Angeles County Department Water and Power Works South Bay Fiber Inventory (43 Intersections — 2018) and SR -60 Fiber Inventory (15 Intersections -2019), and the Seal Beach Boulevard TSSP (4 intersections 2021). This prior experience and the depth of available team resources will be beneficial for the City to not only troubleshoot communication network devices, but the health and condition of the fiber itself. Signal System Evaluation & Needs Assessment Our team has an extensive catalog of needs assessment deliverables of signal system and ITS master plans for numerous local, county, and state agencies. As the core piece to providing an accurate needs assessment evaluation, these tasks included inventorying the network, signal and communication system, TMC, ITS and local signal equipment. Our team has performed hundreds of similar inventories for both signal and fiber communications as noted in our company and staff qualifications. Michael Baker can document existing signal system for the City intersections or select corridors to assist in overall asset management and help with determining design recommendations for improvements. We can provide custom forms and photo logs to inventory existing traffic signal control equipment and other ITS facilities along project corridors or Citywide for efficient asset management. The use of these forms will also identify and document design obstacles. Our inventory assessment and recommendations will be a customized inventory checklist sheet with photo logs as shown above from sample forms from our Inglewood Phase VI ITS Master Plan design project. Through our more extensive inventory assessment work will allow opportunity to assist the City to implement or help plan for operational enhancements available with the new controllers, the TMS, and/or existing traffic signal system: ➢ Setting up Controller for ATSPM with high-resolution data ➢ Design of future system detection strategies for Adaptive System control ➢ Adding detection inputs beyond the 28 DLC inputs of the 332 -cabinet configuration with direct SDLC connections to the controller SIU/BIU channels and select VDS detection systems (i.e. Gridsmart) Page 126 INTEANATI0NAL -, T �i I h a 1 ®� RX MEE l�ww�w■.r.

The basis of this is to prepare and submit a concept of operations plan noting key operational findings and considerations from our evaluation process. This document will also address our plan to handle anticipated challenges and issues specific to coordination, including groupings/zonings, crossing arterial, special generators, multi -agency concerns, and challenges to optimum synchronization will be addressed. This will include issues regarding unifying offset reference points and time clocks between agencies and Caltrans, incompatible cycle lengths, methods of handling unequal cycle lengths, and other approaches to traffic synchronization, where appropriate. Typical items will include those outlined in graphic on the following page. Signal Timing Innovations for Performance Analysis & Assessment. As part of our team's innovative project solutions, our Work Plan proposes the use of TranSync D (Desktop) and TranSync M (Mobile) software for signal timing and travel run analysis. This software program will provide supplemental timing analysis, optimization considerations, and travel time reviews. Some key benefits of TranSync for the project timing and optimization analysis include: • Seamless import between Synchro and TranSync D which the software program maintains all time of day plans in one file for easier management, corrections, and adjustments to timings. This also allows for easy QA/QC of the Synchro files to spot notable differences in inputs (i.e. walk or FDW times, phasing, etc.) • TranSync D also provides for superior offset point estimation from modeling of intersection operations impacted by "Phase Early Return to Green", along with algorithms that provide for enhanced trajectory, travel time, and delay views of "time space diagrams". This means less time to find the ideal offset and fine tuning in the field. ' • Evaluate each location as an isolated CYCLE intersection to meet vehicle, bicycler LENGTH and/or pedestrian demand • Group signals based on distance • f between signals, similar traffic patterns, and coordination factor RPAccount for existing cross coordination • Determine full, half, and/or resonant cycle lengths o Generate splits based on controller capabilities (minimize transitions) and traffic demand P Focus an progression along arterial with minimal side street delay TranSync M (Mobile) is the mobile/tablet device application of the program •' ' b Utilize lead lag and/or phase re -service that will be used to Sync and record travel time data based on initially as needed developed TranSync D network files. This software has the OCTA Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI) index analysis Measure of Effectiveness (MOE) metrics built into the TranSync programming. This replaces the need for Tru -Traffic software as the mobile application as TranSync M records synchronized GPS and video files at the same time, saving labor budget. But this is much more than a travel run application on your phone. TranSync M allows substantial benefits for the timing implementation and fine-tuning with the ability to manage timing changes on the mobile application, foregoing the traditional redlines of printouts needed to update files at the office.

This provides the team an enhanced ability to diagnose, modify, fine tune, and save adjusted timings. Coordinated Optimized Traffic Signal Timing. Our optimization plan will focus on reducing stops, managing queues, and maintaining vehicle platoons along the corridor. Keeping focus on key performance indexes, we work big to small through an iterative process of manual adjustments of Synchro and TranSync models with the approaches set forth in the concept of operations plan. The Michael Baker team will develop cycle lengths and signal grouping strategies based on prevailing traffic patterns, critical cycle lengths at major crossing arterials (the lowest general cycle length that accommodate both vehicular traffic and pedestrian crossing demand), and optimal cycle length alternatives for desired progression green bandwidth. These plans will provide recommendations to controller programming that can provide additional benefits and solutions based on selected central system and controller firmware functionalities, and capabilities. Upon approval of new timings from the City, the team will move to developing updated timing inputs for controllers. Spot Signal Timing and Work with ATC Controllers. Michael Baker has extensive work experience with converting from legacy controllers to the latest ATC controllers to execute this undertaking. Additionally, Mr. Calad has experience providing this work for over 100 controllers that spans from some of the earliest ATC Controller deployments for the City of Diamond Bar (2015), Coachella (2017), Long Beach (2018-2019), to the most recent for the City of Inglewood. We have the ability to create "database files" in order to fast track controller and central system programming and deployments. This is part of the complete service approach which Michael Baker uses our in- house 2070 controller, various Vendor 1-C controller modules, and vendor database loading applications to connect, program, and test converted timing sheets to new ones. Additionally, this allows us the unique ability to create quick programming "database files" to load onto new controllers instead of manually entering information at the front panel of the controller. This greatly expedites deployment of the new controllers with database files quickly loaded directly through a PC program or via a USB drive. Signal Detection & System Enhancement Support. Michael Baker has key experience with signal system detection design and controller programming to leverage high-resolution data (Purdue split monitor, phase terminations, and pedestrian delay) that can be utilized for the timing analysis purposes known as Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM). Our team are experts with the Intelight MaxView/Kinetic Signals CMS through our on-call Traffic Engineering contract with the City of Santa Monica and most recent Seal Beach Blvd TSSP which Mr. Calad and the Michael Baker Team completed a full system upgrade with ATC controllers, system detection design, and set of ATSPMs on their Kinetic Signals. We also provided advance signal detection troubleshooting of existing loops as well as the advance programing and set up new Gridsmart cameras as part of the Seal Beach Blvd TSSP. Traffic Engineering INTEANATI0NAL Page 128 On -Call Traffic Engineering Services City of La Quinta Signing & Striping Plans Michael Baker has vast experience in the completion of stringing and striping plans for local agencies. Recognizing that each City and County has their own local interpretation on what works best for their communities, we are flexible on how we develop proposed signage and striping plans. Our experience with other agencies also serves to let the City of Vista know what other new things that are being implemented around the region and consider leading-edge treatments that could help resolve specific traffic -related issues. All striping used will conform to NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), which is important to follow approved standards and signing and striping applications. Construction Traffic Control & Detour Plans Michael Baker has prepared stage construction and traffic control plans for local streets and freeways for public and private clients under various conditions to improve safety within construction zones and to provide safe passage for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. When it becomes necessary to close a roadway during construction, Michael Baker has extensive experience providing detour plans on even the most complex roadways to guide motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists safely around the closed portion of the roadway. Michael Baker has the staff and experience necessary to prepare and process detour plans, traffic control plans, and final signing and striping plans. Traffic signs and markings must compel attention and respect, convey a clear simple meaning, and allow adequate time for response. For uniformity, they must conform to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). When traffic control devices enter Caltrans right-of-way, Michael Baker has the experience to submit for a Caltrans Encroachment Permit Application and gain approvals needed for the City to obtain needed permits. Traffic Signal Design & Modification Plans Traffic signal design is one of Michael Baker's core services, resulting in an average of 100 or more individual traffic signal designs prepared annually.

When speeding and safety issues are recognized, whether by the City or by the community, Michael Baker can help pull from our traffic calming toolbox to develop conceptual drawings and estimates to make the community a safer place for all modes of transit. We also understand the balance between addressing community concerns with the thoughtful application of standards. We use the CA MUTCD to help define appropriate warrants for the installation of certain traffic control devices. For elements such as speed humps and lumps, factors such as road classification and speed also play a part in their proper use. Michael Baker always recommends close coordination with the City's emergency services when suggesting complete streets and traffic calming devices that may change the operation of traffics along a roadway. Roadway Improvements, Land Survey, & Mapping Michael Baker provides complete services for the planning and �- preliminary engineering design of local roads, streets, arterial - highways, and transportation corridors to public agencies and private developers.

Technical analysis for corridor studies and mobility assessments involves the evaluation of all modes of transportation. Where vehicles and transit can be measured by the quality of the performance (i.e. delay, travel time, queues), evaluation of pedestrians and bicycles facilities focus on the quality of traveling environment for these modes. Availability, quality, access and safety within the traveling environment such as sidewalks, benches, shade and other features are used to evaluate pedestrian "level of service" or "quality of service". Our team regularly conducts Pedestrian Quality Index (PEQI) analysis when preparing corridor studies to evaluate pedestrian conditions. Similarly, when evaluating bicycle conditions, the speed of traffic, volume of traffic, pavement condition and street conditions are typical metrics used to identify bicycle "level of service" or "quality of service". Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) is typically used to conduct this analysis. Using GIS mapping and field data collection, our Concept Design Cross -Section for Protected Bike Lane Project Page 131 INTEANATI0NAL On -Call Traffic Engineering Services City of La Quinta team can prepare LTS and PEQI analysis at a citywide or corridor scale. We are currently conducting this analysis for a corridor study in Valley Center as well as along Highway 74 in Riverside County. Staff Support / Reviews / Community Engagement Michael Baker has dedicated transportation planning and traffic engineering staff located in the San Diego and Carlsbad Offices. This team of technical specialists are currently conducting third parry reviews of traffic impact studies for the City of Carlsbad, City of San Marcos, and City of Del Mar.

Community Engagement & Public Outreach Michael Baker's Team has the relevant experience and deep understanding of the City's unique community, geographic layout, goals, challenges, and concerns from City representatives, community stakeholders, and other stakeholder agencies. We understand that community involvement and stakeholder voices play an important role in the successful completion of various planning projects and have the seasoned staff for this work. Michael Baker will work closely with City staff to provide public outreach and public relations services to maximize community awareness, involvement, and understanding. Our team members will work collaboratively with the City to develop a variety of materials to aid in outreach efforts to reach out to broad array of stakeholders through media, online/social media tools, printed notices, event management, signage, and face-to-face interaction. Michael Baker's team of graphic designers and public outreach professionals often partner to provide engineering teams with tailored exhibits, public outreach materials, brochures, and pamphlets that make complex technical concepts easier for the public to digest.

However, if any other tasks arise that are not specifically within our area of delivery, we can utilize local specialty firms to further support or expand our capabilities. Traffic Counts, Geotechnical and Right -of -Way Acquisition services are subcontracted out to the best firm for the specific task and will be cleared with the City prior to placing under contract.

Disclosures Due to the nature of professional services, frequently there are misunderstandings about responsibility and culpability resulting in Michael Baker periodically becoming involved in litigation, which is usually dismissed or settled by mutual agreement. After a reasonable investigation and inquiry to our legal department, the preparer of this response is not aware of any instances within the last five (5) years where Michael Baker has been terminated for default. Michael Baker is subject to litigation as is typical in the industry in which it operates. Exceptions to Standard Contract We appreciate the opportunity to preview the sample standard contract that will be utilized by the City for this project. Michael Baker has contracted on thousands of projects over our 83 -year history and is confident in our ability to come to mutually acceptable terms with all of our clientele. Upon selection of this proposal, we would respectfully request the opportunity to discuss certain of the contract terms with the City due to the professional standard of care required for performance of services, insurance commercially available, and professional experience. Below is a summary of our requested changes: 1. Agreement does contain a liquidated damages clause. Addendum to Agreement, Sections 6 and 12 contain identical liquidated damages clauses - this duplication appears to be inadvertent. Suggested edits include deletion of both sections from Addendum. 2. Agreement contains a retention of payment clause whereby City will withhold 5% of each monthly amount due, which will be held until a maximum of 60 days following final acceptance of Services by City. Addendum to Agreement Sec 2 (page 32 of pdf). 3. Agreement contains a heightened standard of care for Michael Baker's performance. Suggested revisions to Sections 1.1 and 1.6 revise the standard to the common-law standard of care. Agreement contains "time is of the essence" language; suggested edits to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 remove this language. 4. Agreement does not contain an aggregate limitation of liability. Suggested edits include addition of an aggregate limitation of liability at page 26 of the pdf. 5. Agreement does not contain a waiver of consequential damages. Suggested edits include addition of such a waiver at page 26 of the pdf. 6. Agreement does not require a separate project -specific insurance policy. Agreement insurance requirements are within Michael Baker's insurance coverage limits. 7. Agreement includes both negligence -based (insurable and acceptable) and performance-based (not insurable, not acceptable) indemnification and imposes on Michael Baker a duty to defend (not insurable). Suggested edits to Sec 6 and to Exhibit F limit the indemnification to negligence -based and remove the duty to defend. 8. Agreement does contain a force majeure clause. Suggested edits to Section 3.3 add that Michael Baker shall be entitled to an equitable increase in its fee in the event a force majeure event occurs. 9. Agreement does contain a "changes" clause at Section 1.7, which provides that any additional services Michael Baker performs shall be subject to Michael Baker's written approval of any resulting adjustment in the contract price. 10. The Scope of Work does not contain Export Control or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Compliance terms. 11. Exhibit A/Scope of Services to the agreement and the "Requested Services" portion of the RFP (page 7 of the pdf) indicates the engineer will provide construction cost estimates but do not contain clauses protecting the engineer as to construction means/estimates. Suggested edits include addition of appropriate protective clauses (entitled "Construction Means" and "Estimates") at page 26 of the pdf. ***Note***: Exhibit A contains two separate documents - a "Scope of Services" document and an "Addendum to Agreement re: Scope of Services". When referring above to sections in the Scope of Services document, they are referred as "Exhibit A/Scope of Services Sec When referring above to sections in the Addendum to Agreement, they are referred as "Addendum to Agreement Sec _".
