STC continues to expand its footprint in Riverside County with successful projects in Cathedral City, Palm
Springs, Hemet, Jurupa Valley, Temecula, Menifee, Banning, and Moreno Valley.
Local and Regional Experience Overview
In Cathedral City, our team was brought on board to conduct the City's Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
and develop priority projects for inclusion in future HSIP grant opportunities.
In Palm Springs, we supported the CVAG grant funded Indian Canyon Drive Two Way Conversion, which
converted the corridor from 1 -way to 2 -way traffic to increase bike and pedestrian safety. STC was tasked
with providing signal coordination plans to address the City's request to revert to permissive phasing along
the corridor. This work in particular shows our dedication to expanding in the region and directly
supporting underserved needs in Coachella Valley.
Further to the southeast, STC was part of the consultant project design team for the Imperial County
Transportation Commission Regional Active Transportation Plan (ATP). We supported the existing
conditions assessment and feasibility analysis for determining priority projects. We also prepared the
conceptual designs and preliminary costs estimates for the top two regional bikeway priority projects.
This effort allowed us to gain insight into the local environment and unique challenges for each of the
local agencies and surrounding communities. STC also completed an LRSP and two HSIP Cycle 11 grant
applications for the City of Brawley. The applications were to obtain capital funding for two of the top
priority safety projects identified in the LRSP.
STC prepared plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) for a traffic signal and communications upgrades
project along Main Street in the City of Brawley. The project interconnects eight traffic signals and allows
for corridor synchronization. STC prepared the coordinated signal timing plans for the project. Project
construction will be funded by a CMAQ grant for which STC prepared and submitted on behalf of the City.
STC is also designing and implementing signal synchronization along two arterial roadways in the City of
EI Centro, 8th Street and Dogwood Avenue. We also recently competed and were selected for an On -Call
Traffic Engineering contract with Imperial County. These are just a few examples of the regional footprint
that we continue to expand upon for on-call traffic engineering services.
Example Project 1. On -Call Traffic Engineering Services (City of Cathedral City, CA
STC currently serves the City of Cathedral City for on-call projects related to
traffic/transportation engineering services.
Recent work has allowed STC to become familiar with local transportation
infrastructure and develop long-lasting relationships with City staff. Two recent
project highlights are discussed on the following page.

HAWK Signal Near Ramon Road/Avenida La Paloma. Cathedral City was recently awarded a HSIP Grant to
construct a High -Intensity Activated Crosswalk signal near the intersection of Ramon Road/Avenida La
Paloma, to address pedestrian and bicyclist collisions between Candlewood Drive and Shifting Sands Trail.
STC evaluated the optimal location and control type for the proposed mid -block pedestrian crossing. STC
staff reviewed existing vehicular volumes and pedestrian crossing locations; evaluated two potential
pedestrian mid -block crossing alternatives; evaluated the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) Warrant per
the CA-MUTCD; and recommended an alternative for crossing location, configuration, and signal control
type. Following the Basis of Design, the City has started the process of writing a Scope Change to Caltrans
to change from HAWK signal operations to standard pedestrian signal operations with 3 -section signal
heads. The design team moved forward with design of a pedestrian signal at the alternative location.
Local Roadway Safety Plan. STC evaluated potential safety projects based on Cathedral City's roadway
needs, the crash data analysis, roadway network screening, and countermeasure toolbox. STC developed
priority projects for upgrading safety lighting and internally illuminated street name signs (IISNS) to light -
emitting diode (LED) and retro -reflective backplates at signalized intersections citywide; installing
pedestrian hybrid beacons; and upgrading existing pedestrian crosswalks to include LED lighting, curb
extensions, curb ramps, flashing stop sign beacons, high visibility striping, and upgrades to existing
roadway signing and striping. Ramon Rd & Avenida La Paloma was identified as a priority unsignalized
location by the LRSP. A snapshot of the priority projects resulting from the LRSP is shown below.

4. Project Understanding
The City of La Quinta will select qualified engineering firms to provide on-
call traffic engineering services. In this role, selected firms will provide the
City with a broad range of technical expertise, including an understanding
of the local environment and an understanding of current policies,
procedures, and City projects.
Rob Blough, PE, TE, will serve as Project Manager and primary point of
contact with the City. He is a Traffic Engineer with over 33 years of
professional experience, including 20 years serving as the City Traffic
Engineer for the City of Encinitas and 5 years serving as the City Traffic
Engineer for the City of Menifee.
CAUKIRIIA
His expertise includes all aspects of City transportation issues; Rob Blough, PE, TEFormer City Traffic Engineer
preparation of traffic signal plans, traffic signal timing/coordination, On -Site Availability
signing and striping plans, traffic calming, roundabout design, traffic

Key Takeaways of STC's On -Call Approach
• The culture at STC was built on a foundation of providing on-call traffic engineering services, with
a special focus in Riverside County. We understand the immediate nature of as -needed contracts
and stand ready to serve the City when needs arise. We have established successful on-call traffic
engineering contracts with the Cities of Cathedral City, Jurupa Valley, Eastvale, Menifee,
Temecula, Moreno Valley, Fontana, Lake Elsinore, Beaumont, Banning, and Hemet.
• We have a proven model for all of the elements of the Scope of Work. Each of our municipal client
contracts demonstrates our strong regional presence and ability to deliver the range of services
that will be required under this contract from review of traffic studies to complex professional
engineering tasks to staff extension services. Rob Blough, PE, TE, can do it all, and the City will be
able to rely on his more than three decades of experience working from the inside of government.
Through STC, the City of La Quinta has three former City Traffic
Engineers at its immediate disposal.
• We are modeled after a municipal Public Works/Engineering Division. We can support technical
support technical designs; prepare work orders for signing, striping, and traffic signal changes;
perform concept and feasibility studies of intersection and street design alternatives; prepare
PS&E; monitor the TMC; assist with citizen requests; respond to data and other requests from
Caltrans, CVAG, Riverside County Transportation Commission, Riverside County, agencies such as
Indio, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, SunLine Transit, and others; present education and safety
training; and, provide any other number of traffic engineering duties needed by the City.
• In addition to the services discussed in the RFP, our project experience throughout Riverside
County involves extensive traffic engineering/transportation planning efforts involving
multimodal transportation, complete streets, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, and redevelopment of
transit corridors. Each of our projects involves significant stakeholder engagement and we often
mediate sensitive community issues.
• We offer a variety of value -add engineering services. This includes leveraging our extensive
experience with traffic calming, active transportation projects, local roadway safety projects, Safe
Routes to School, and parking management plans—we are experts in all of these specialty areas.
In particular, we have key staff in Rob Blough, Stephen Manganiello, and David DiPierro, who have
served as former City Traffic Engineers.
• Our clients have utilized our contracts to the fullest extent because our traffic/transportation
engineering projects rank among their highest priorities. Our track record shows that not only are
we available to address the City's immediate, task -specific needs, but we have the expertise to
STC Traffic, Inc. I Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services 15
On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
- CALIFORrIA
guide the long-term planning of the City's local and regional transportation infrastructure. We
look forward to helping to build out projects in alignment with the City's long-term vision.
• We understand the importance of funding in local projects, and we have dedicated staff who
know how each of these projects fits into the local and regional context. Our key staff can speak
to the City's ongoing traffic and transportation engineering priorities moving forward.
• The type of work we are doing under direct contract with our municipal clients goes from planning
to design through procurement and operations—we know how to deliver transportation
infrastructure that fits into a focus on ITS, focus on better service through more efficient
operations on arterials, focus on effective coordination between Caltrans and the City, and focus
on delivering projects connected to HSIP funding programs.
• In addition to our Riverside County on-call traffic engineering experience, STC has demonstrated
leadership in as -needed traffic engineering services through contracting with nearly every
municipality in the County of San Diego. STC and key staff have worked shoulder -to -shoulder to
deliver projects. This includes key staff such as Phil Kern, PE, who has decades of experience
working within the framework of City governance.
• The size and scale of the City's typical task authorizations are "right -sized" to our firm. STC has
always relished the opportunity to exceed expectations on small contracts, demonstrating to the
City that our team is local, adaptive, and readily -available to deliver on tasks of any size. As a small
firm, we are nimble and able to make staff adjustments to meet demanding timelines.
• At STC, we do not mark-up subconsultant services and act as a direct pass-through to the City.
We also do not mark-up expenses. We are a local firm and do not charge for mileage. These cost
considerations will extend the City's limited funding resources and provision of services.
4.1 Scope of Work/Complementary Services
STC has the in-house technical capabilities to complete all of
the elements listed in the Scope of Services.
STC has excelled at providing these services to local and
regional municipal agencies for 15 years. Below, is a general
summary of some of STC's technical capabilities and a few
value -add areas that differentiate our firm's ability to provide
as -needed traffic engineering services and serve as true staff
extension for the City of La Quinta.

• Traffic Operations and Maintenance of the City's Traffic Signal System. STC provides technical
support for traffic signal operations and maintenance for municipalities throughout Riverside
County.
As part of these services, STC regularly directs signal maintenance and construction contractors
in the field on standard tasks and provides expertise on specialized systems tasks that are typically
not covered by electricians. Our services extend well beyond support and into traffic signal
maintenance and asset management including:
o Ensuring contractor -supplied equipment is compatible with existing equipment.
o Generating cost effective, multi-year device replacement plans.
o Performing independent evaluations and audits of the traffic signal maintenance
program/practices to ensure compliance with best practices.
o Assisting with the development, evaluation, and implementation of asset management
systems.
o Administering and/or providing related asset inventories.
The most effective signal system balances the use of advanced technology with the applicable use
of traditional modes of operations such as time -of -day coordination. Integrating safe and reliable
signal timing solutions demands proven experience in utilizing the advanced features of traffic
controller software in challenging applications such as adaptive operations. STC has developed
many timing plans for highly specialized operations. STC understands the system limitations of
controller software and thoughtfully utilizes advanced timing parameters and strategies to
achieve optimal arterial system and intersection specific performance. Our team of engineers is
equipped with the tools and know-how to perform general traffic data collection and advanced
performance analysis. This includes traffic signal timing and coordination optimization, which STC
has performed throughout Riverside County. Steps include review of existing conditions based on
the existing geometry, traffic volumes and signal timing, traffic signal timing calculations, traffic
signal optimization, traffic signal timing sheets, and testing, field implementation, and fine-tuning.
• Traffic Management Center. STC provides technical support for traffic signal operations and
maintenance for municipalities throughout Riverside County. Adam Lemberg, IMSA III, was the
acting TSOS (Traffic Signal Operations Specialist) for Carlsbad during his former employment, and
our extensive systems and operations team regularly acts as scheduled or on-call assistance for
currently unmanned or neglected TMCs and central management systems. Our work is performed
both remotely and onsite, and we report our findings and resolutions to City staff. As part of these
services, STC regularly directs signal maintenance and construction contractors in the field on
standard tasks and provides expertise on specialized systems tasks that are typically not covered
by electricians. Our services include: evaluation and maintenance of the traffic network's health
(including equipment both within the TMC and in the field), routine or as -needed health checks
on Central Systems/ATMSs (Advanced Traffic Management Systems), and response to citizen
complaints. We have performed these services for Eastvale, Menifee, and nearly all of our clients.

• Knowledge and Skills in OS Systems (Kinetic, Q-Freelintelight/Econolite/Genetec, etc.)
o Kinetic — STC has worked with Q-Free's Kinetic ATMS in the Cities of Vista, San Diego, and
other agencies. Like most other ATMSs, it offers features that STC can easily configure
and utilize, such as a global system map of intersections within an agency, controller
configuration, controller timing editors, intersection displays, log and report collection
including alarm, operational activity, split, volume, occupancy, and SPMs (Signal
Performance Measures).
o Q-Free/Intelight Controllers/Software — STC personnel have worked with Intelight's
MaxTime controller software for many years. The City of Vista and City of San Diego both
adopted their controller and central software. Initially, the City of Vista had all McCain
2070 controllers and Omni controller software but swapped the entire City with Intelight
2070s and Maxtime controller software. STC personnel have become very familiar with it
as a result, and perform operational testing, troubleshooting, and development of timing
in both free and coordinated operation, particularly around the City of Vista's high school,
where the City was having massive issues with congestion and progressive during school
drop-off and release hours. Additionally, STC personnel actively working with CT -West (a
Q-Free/Intelight distributor) as two years ago Denso deployed seven RSUs along the
Melrose corridor for the purpose of connected vehicle/SPAT data collection, which
required our team to learn how to install and configure Maxtime-CV, which is their
connected vehicle module that runs alongside Maxtime itself. More recently, STC has
become involved with the Maxtime Adaptive module as the City of San Diego is in the
process of investigating adaptive solutions from various manufacturers.
o Econolite Controllers — Several of STC's personnel have familiarity with Econolite
equipment and other advanced traffic management systems and can demonstrate recent
and similar representative projects performed for other agencies. We are able to
demonstrate direct experience with operating Centracs ATMS, including knowledge of
the equipment, materials, and labor necessary for a turn -key system.
o Genetec — Our team has extensive experience with Genetec. Around 2-3 years ago the
City of Chula Vista adopted the system, but wanted to run both the server and client on
its digital signage player that manages its TMC video wall. The client software is so
hardware demanding that the signage player was not able to handle the client without
crashing. With the Police Department also requiring access to the software, our team had
to produce a means of running the server and client on a new signage player that could
meet the demanding system requirements while still supporting six monitors. Most City
or office workstations utilize generic integrated graphics instead of a dedicated GPU
(graphics processing unit); Genetec was an outlier as its client had a minimum system
requirement of an Nvidia GeForce GTX1060, which is a video card designed for gaming,
and like almost all gaming video cards, only supports up to four monitors at a time. Our
team opted for a new digital signage player build utilizing a newer Matrox GPU with 6
DisplayPort outputs and a VRAM capacity of 4gb, which would match that of a GTX1060.
STC Traffic, Inc. I Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services 18

- CALIFORrIA
This solution enabled the City to run the client and server at the same time, which
provided the Police Department with remote access. During this process, we learned a
great deal about both the server -side installation procedure and operation of the client
itself (Security Desk), including the configuration of cameras, PTZ & tracking
functionalities, alarms and alerts, and the networking side with both Public Works & PD.
• Communication Systems. STC has a specialty in ITS, Telecommunications and Network
Engineering and is well qualified to effectively plan, design, install and integrate related elements
and systems. ITS projects also demand technical knowledge of equipment, media, and
applications to procure the most suitable and cost-effective technology. STC assesses the needs
and prepares the concepts that meet the needs.
Our PS&E packages for ITS improvements develop the concepts with fanatical detail and review
to ensure constructability and adherence to local and statewide standards. STC has developed
large scale master plans and small-scale corridor concepts. We have developed ITS improvements
that include virtually all traffic control, data collection, information dissemination, and
surveillance elements. We have developed communications systems including fiber optic,
wireless (multiple variations), and copper communications utilizing audio, IP, and serial standards.
Our deep understanding of ITS standards and Caltrans standards allows us to develop PS&E
efficiently and correctly.
• Traffic Studies Including Intersection Control Studies and Safety Studies. STC has a diverse
background in preparing and/or reviewing technical studies for transportation, land use and land
development projects, working collaboratively on mobility studies, traffic calming studies,
transportation impact analysis reports, traffic signal warrants, all -way stop warrants, line -of -sight
studies, and other specialized studies that may arise as part of this contract.
• Traffic Counts. STC assists in collecting intersection and roadway segment traffic volumes for
nearly all of our on-call traffic engineering contracts. STC has a list of trusted data collection firms
that are contracted for this type of work. The traffic volumes are checked for accuracy before
submittal. STC assisted the City of Carlsbad, for example, in collecting traffic volumes for
monitoring growth as part of the City's Growth Management Program.
• Speed Data Analysis/Multimodal Data Collection and Analysis. STC has extensive experience
preparing local mobility analysis and plans for a variety of municipalities including the Cities of
Menifee, Carlsbad, Vista, and Imperial Beach. STC's analysis provides mitigation measures to
improve vehicular, pedestrian, transit and bicycle levels of service within the project study areas.
Transportation technical studies and associated projects are generally prepared in-house under
the direction of Balaji Shivaji, TE. For the City of Carlsbad, he served a critical role in navigating
changes to transportation evaluation and monitoring as the City turned its focus to achieving a
balanced transportation system with robust active transportation, climate action, and Smart City
initiatives. Mr. Shivaji commissioned traffic count data collection at monitoring locations,
conducted directional peak hour roadway segment analysis, and prepared the GMP annual
monitoring report. We have performed similar types of analysis for most our municipal clients.

• Traffic Engineering Design Services. STC has extensive experience in preparing plans,
specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for a variety of traffic improvements including traffic signals,
street lighting, signing and striping, and signal interconnect.
Traffic signal design and associated improvements are part of STC's core expertise, and STC
performs these services on a daily basis. STC's staff has delivered a variety of traffic signal design
and improvement projects for municipal agencies in Riverside County, showcasing an extensive
history of successful projects. We have developed plans addressing minor public improvements
such as ADA curb ramps, sidewalks, trails, roadway widening, curbs, gutters, drainage facilities
and guard rails.
Our experience of specifying equipment, assembling bid packages, and implementing and
managing construction on similar projects has provided a keen appreciation for the required level
of detail to have a successful bid and deployment of the specified facilities. All traffic engineering
design plans are managed and reviewed by STC staff licensed as Professional Engineers (PE) and
Traffic Engineers (TE) in the State of California. We take project documentation extremely
seriously by providing QA/QC services throughout our PS&E process. The focus is to ensure that
plans meet engineering design standards and to identify potential design and/or constructability
issues prior to going out to bid to avoid costly change orders during construction.
• Plan Check Review. STC is currently conducting plan check services for Jurupa Valley, Moreno
Valley, Menifee, Hemet, Encinitas, National City, Solana Beach, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, and
other local and regional agencies. STC has been providing high quality plan check services to cities
from inception. Because we provide design and implementation of traffic systems, we can identify
issues on the plans that other firms may not identify in the plan check process. Through the plan
check process, our team provides the expertise needed to resolve design issues before the project
goes to construction.
• TIA Guidelines. STC assists with developing TIA guidelines, and we apply our knowledge of local
criteria and methodologies for completing a TIA, performing reviews efficiently and providing
valuable feedback to City staff and developers. These have been for a range of developments,
including single and multi -family residential subdivisions, mixed-use master plan communities,
and industrial parks. When we conduct traffic impact study and development reviews on behalf
of agencies, most of our revenue is in review rather than production. The City will never see us on
the other side of the table for developer -oriented projects. This is a big value -add for our clients.
• VMT Guidelines. We have developed VMT guidelines for the Cities of Menifee, Oceanside, Vista,
and Imperial Beach. We also make sure that developers/companies who do business with each of
these agencies are executing VMT guidelines properly.
• Livable and Complete Street Policies, Programs, and Designs. STC has played a vital role in
Complete Streets programs for the Cities of Menifee, Oceanside, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Imperial
Beach, San Diego, National City, and La Mesa. In the City of Encinitas, for example, STC has stayed
involved with active transportation improvements for nearly every major corridor in the City. STC
designed a Road Diet and Complete Streets project on Coast Highway 101 from the north city limit
STC Traffic, Inc. I Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services 20
On -Call Traffic Engineering Services

in Leucadia and south to Swami's Beach. This was a high-profile project that represented the first
implementation of a ten-year plan to create a reduced -traffic, bicycle and pedestrian -friendly, art -
infused, curbside dining "village" through Leucadia.
• Traffic Calming Programs. STC has worked with communities to develop new traffic calming
programs, identify neighborhood -based solutions, and develop citywide traffic calming solutions
for arterial roadways. STC provides full-service design and implementation for traffic calming
projects. STC provides a data driven, community-based approach to encourage residents' active
participation in identifying concerns, developing reasonable solutions, and supporting final
outcomes. STC supports traffic calming programs by performing a variety of site assessments,
walk audits, traffic analysis, feasibility studies, complete streets design, and community
engagement. In the City of Imperial Beach, for example, STC recently completed a traffic calming
study to identify potential solutions to address speeding and neighborhood cut -through traffic
along two parallel residential streets, Elm Avenue and Donax Avenue, which serve as walking
routes to two local schools.
• Traffic Control Plans. STC's traffic control plans account for construction phasing, means and
methods of work, work zone safety, pedestrian safety and accessibility, with a strong emphasis
on minimizing impacts to traffic, residences, local businesses, and sensitive habitat. Our design
approach also considers opportunities to expedite the construction schedule and minimize costs.
• Emerging Technology. We routinely test and research new and innovative ITS products that come
to market. STC's hands-on approach to engineering affords us the opportunity to create and
develop innovative and advanced techniques. Combining our hands-on approach to ITS design
with our expertise in communications, networking, and traffic signal systems, allows us to make
sound evaluations and recommendations of ITS systems and products.
• Staff Extension/Stakeholders/City Council Meetings. Most of Blough's projects have involved
coordination with diverse stakeholders, including non-profit community organizations, advocacy
groups, local schools, regulatory agencies, transit agencies, utility companies, and private
developers. He regularly presents at City Council Meetings and serves as a true extension of City
staff as shown in our relevant project experience.
The technical capabilities discussed above are just some of the expertise that STC's team brings to the
table for the City of La Quinta.
4.2 Project Schedule
STC always serves task orders on an expedited basis. Immediate troubleshooting issues are handled within
24 hours, and task orders are often turned around in 2-3 weeks depending on the size. We work on the
City's schedule, and our references will attest to our immediate availability.

Over the past eight years, STC has written over 75 grant applications for Southern California agencies,
most of which were for Caltrans HSIP and Active Transportation Program funding. These efforts have led
to the award of over $50 million in grant funding. STC competed for and was awarded PS&E contracts for
many of these grant -funded projects, which required coordination with Caltrans Local Assistance for
project delivery. STC submitted complete and accurate project documentation through each phase of
work including PA&ED, PS&E, ROW, and CON, as well as assisted City staff with preparing Request for
Authorization (E-76) forms and required progress and management reports specified in the Caltrans LAPM
and grant program guidelines

5.2 Task Order Management
STC is fully aware of the planning, engineering, and technical needs that will be necessary to support the
City in an as -needed capacity. STC has established a clear understanding of the contracting process
through QA/QC procedures for current City projects. The following section describes our approach to
executing and completing a task order for a typical City project.
• Project Initiation. Once City staff alerts STC of a
potential project opportunity, the Project Manager
will conduct a meeting with the key point of contact
with the City, either virtually or in the field. This
meeting is designed to aid the City in clearly conveying
the concerns and issues that should be addressed in
the pending task order.
• Prepare Scope of Work and Fee Proposal. Following
the project initiation meeting, STC will prepare a
detailed scope of work and fee proposal to complete
the task described. We will work directly with the
City's key point of contact to refine the scope of work.
STC realizes that City resources are limited. The
purpose of the scoping process is to develop a scope
and fee that meets the intent of the project in the
most cost-effective manner possible.
• Contracting. STC's Project Manager will work with the
City's contracting department to acquire the appropriate signatures and contract documents for each
Task Order. Staff authorized to sign contracts on behalf of STC will be available on-site, which will
streamline the contracting process for our firm and allow us to efficiently return contracts to the City
within 24 -hours of receiving Task Order documents.
• Project Kick -Off and Coordination. Regular communication between the Project Team and the key
point of contact at the City will be critical to maintaining the project schedule and to the overall
success of the project. Depending upon the size and extent of the contract, STC will develop a project
meeting schedule to address key milestones of the project. STC will coordinate Project Team meetings
and provide meeting agendas and notes in order to clearly document the process and decisions made.
• Technical Analysis, Design, and Community Coordination. Task Orders assigned to STC will be
completed by staff who are familiar with the City's policies, planning documents, and design
standards. At STC, we conduct weekly staff meetings and discuss projects with management and
technical staff. During this time, we review project schedules to ensure timely delivery of work
products. On programmatic task orders or community outreach tasks, STC will advocate for safe and
accessible pedestrian and bicycle facilities. STC will conduct regular check-in meetings to manage
project schedule and deliverables in order to ensure on-time delivery of work products.
STC Traffic, Inc. I Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services 31
On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
- CALIFORrIA
• Quality Control/Quality Assurance Process. All work products delivered to the City will be reviewed
either by Mr. Blough, Mr. Manganiello, or the designated QA/QC Manager for the Task Order. Time
to review all work products will be built into the project schedule and clearly documented and
maintained by STC during the course of the project. In addition to formal reviews of work products,
the Project Manager will conduct over the shoulder reviews throughout the life of the Task Order.
This hands-on project management style provides assurance to the City that the work products in
process are on -task and in line with the scope of work and pending deadlines.
Quality Assurance reviews will be conducted internally prior to submittal of plans or documents to
the City. The Task Manager will be responsible for scheduling detailed reviews throughout the project,
ensuring the products produced by the team meet the QA/QC standards and expectations established
for the project. Quality Control review will be conducted by discipline -specific certified professionals,
as assigned by the Project Manager, for individual task orders at major milestones to ensure the plans
and technical documents meet design requirements, standards, and technical requirements.
The review process, whether for Quality Assurance or Quality Control, will be led by the Project
Manager or Task Manager and will involve design engineers and deputy project managers not directly
involved in design production or review of the project. The review team will be selected based on
workload, expertise, and to reflect the dominant disciplines in the project.
• Schedule Control. A project schedule and key deliverables will be established with each Task Order.
STC staff will conduct regular check-in meetings with City staff to track the project schedule, discuss
potential modifications to the schedule or deliverables, and discuss actions needed to keep the
project on track. STC has in-house project management software and utilizes Microsoft Project to
generate project schedules when needed. Schedules will be reviewed at all Project Development
Team Meetings to inform the City of our progress.
STC Traffic, Inc. I Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services 32
On -Call Traffic Engineering Services
- CALIFORrIA
Additionally, project controls will be used to communicate information to the City and Project Team.
Project controls will be implemented throughout the Task Order's lifecycle to positively affect budget
and schedule.
• Cost Control/Risk Management. Budget monitoring will be conducted on a monthly basis and
reported to the City during monthly team meetings. All invoices will include hours expended by task
and a detailed summary of work completed to date to justify the hours invoiced. This system of checks
and balances will ensure the project neither gets ahead or behind on the approved costs, reducing
financial risk. Throughout the life cycle of the project, the Task Lead will identify means by which to
streamline project tasks and reduce project costs.
• Value Engineering. Recognizing cost savings measures throughout the life of each Task Order will be
the responsibility of the Project Team. STC recognizes that cost saving during design is vital to
providing best practices for our clients. STC will discuss Value Engineering opportunities during
internal team meetings and identify schedule or cost savings measures during Project Design Team
meetings.
• Document Control. A clear document control system will be established during project initiation
ranging from CADD standards to document and email filing conventions. Establishing these essential
document control measures will streamline information sharing between the City, Project Team, and
other stakeholders.
• Project Delivery and Close -Out. Upon completion of the task order, STC will provide the final
documents, plans and reports to the City for their files. In addition, the Project Manager will
coordinate with the key City staff person on the task order to review the project process and work
products to clearly understand the City's perception of our performance on the project. This feedback
on performance helps our firm grow and continue to provide high-quality service.
