OUR LOCAL EXPERIENCE
We know the La Quinta community. LA Quinta is recognized for its world-class golf,
thriving arts community, unparalleled quality of life, and strong consumer base. La
Quinta, like its neighboring cities, has experienced substantial growth over the past
few decades. According to the city’s website, the population increased from 5,260 full-
time residents in 1982 to 37,846 today. This growth translates directly into the need for
enhanced and updated public facilities, including essential updates to roadways like
the built environment to best meet the needs of the community and its members.
We recognize that the City of La Quinta is poised for future enhancements to the
City’s assets, facilities, and infrastructure to enable a high quality of life for residents
and visitors, lively entertainment and recreation options, a range of housing options,
multi-modal transportation, sustainability, expanded education, and employment
opportunities. Properly managing projects within the desert environment requires
unique considerations for the area’s regulatory stakeholders, including government
departments and regional utilities, seasonality of weather and environmental
conditions, accessibility of resources to service project needs, the diversity of the
community and how projects may impact local residents and businesses, as well as
understanding of adjacent ongoing projects and how to best align individual project
needs with greater community outcomes.
Our team of construction experts are proud to have contributed to recent infrastructure
growth and development in the Coachella Valley on recent projects, such as the Herbert
Hoover Elementary School Pedestrian Improvement Project and CV Link, and for similar
public clients with capital improvement projects within the Valley. This experience has
given our leadership and team members the understanding how to best manage the
the City, as well as oversee and guide all team members to effectively build each project
within the Coachella Valley. Our team’s experience is further highlighted on the following

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This project consists of approximately two miles of roadway
improvements along Highway 111 in the City of La Quinta. Highway
improvements consist of pulverizing the existing roadway section
control planning will be critical to minimize impacts to the public,
maintain bus transportation and business access, and keep the
area safe for motorists. Improvements also include ADA pedestrian
ramps to improve pedestrian safety at major intersections and new
signing and striping throughout the project all within 90 working
days. The completed project will greatly improve Highway 111 for the
entire community including vehicles and pedestrians.
STAFFING
The Anser team is prepared to support all required roles and has
experience with similar size paving projects. We understand that
the contractor will have crews working in multiple locations at
once which requires an experienced full-time inspector to track
all the work and stay current with detailed daily reports. The
construction manager will support the lead inspector with any
issues that come up on site along with keeping up with submittals,
RFIs, progress payments, schedule, and document control. The
project manager will support the construction manager early in
the project establishing procedures for a safe and high-quality
project, and then both the PIC and PM will be available to support
the inspector and CM as issues arise. Our team has training and
as possible by supporting each as needed and cross-managing
ideas, lessons learned, and best practices during the work to
save overall construction management costs. We are proud to
1.1 PRINCIPAL-IN-CHARGE

1.5 PUBLIC OUTREACH
Our subconsultant for public
outreach and communications
services is Burke Rix
Communications (BRC) based
in Palm Springs, CA. BRC has
extensive experience in providing
a wide array of community outreach services on large infrastructure
projects. Their team maintains relationships with community leaders
and stakeholders throughout the region and particularly in the
Eastern Coachella Valley. BRC has a positive track record in working
closely with CVAG on CV Link and has demonstrated to the public
that the agency can deliver quality transportation projects with a
community driven approach that is transparent and timely. Our team
with BRC is able to hit the ground running in providing timely and
Rehabilitation project.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Before the project begins the Anser team will be prepared. We
project location which will save on startup time and budget. We will
system and create templates for all required forms such as weekly
reports, monthly progress payments, and change orders. During
this phase we will also familiarize ourselves with the project plans,
the designers and any effected stakeholders to resolve. A project
schedule will also be developed to compare to the contractor’s
baseline schedule before work begins.
Once our planning is complete, we will also prepare for the pre-
construction conference. We will determine a time with the City of La
Quinta for the meeting and invite all parties involved with the project
including City, design team, contractor, and applicable stakeholders.
An agenda for the meeting will be developed which highlights all
required work both before construction and during. Important
discussion topics include; safety, baseline schedule, insurance,
labor compliance, change orders, payments, and closeout. During
the pre-construction meeting a Notice to Proceed (NTP) date will be
set and the contractor will prepare for construction.
CONSTRUCTION
Once construction begins Rajan will oversee coordinating and
scheduling with the contractor, inspector, and City of La Quinta. He
will ensure all work is inspected as it is being completed and that
Document Control
Accurate project records are important to any project and necessary
to maintain and receive project funding. Without adequate, concise,
and searchable documentation, potential project research will be
nearly impossible. The Anser team will provide project documentation
that complies with Caltrans Construction Management Standards.
Our documentation begins with a site photo/video survey. We will
capture the existing conditions, emphasizing features and facilities
that must be removed and reinstalled (see complementary services
section for OpenSpace recommendation). Documentation of project
communication is critical to avoiding any misunderstandings
conversations, e-mail messages, formal letters, and meeting notes
comprise the body of understanding that develops throughout the
important issues, Brandon will institute weekly contractor progress
meetings. All stakeholders will be invited to attend. Minutes of issues,
discussions, statements, and commitments will be recorded and
distributed after every meeting.
Scheduling
It is critical to start the project with an accurate critical path
schedule that allows for planning all future operations and includes
all contractual requirements. We can work with the contractor
to develop a schedule that follows the contractual requirements,
provides reasonable durations, and allows for adjustment as changes
arise. We will review the proposed baseline schedule with the
contractor to understand the approach to the sequencing of work
and minimize resubmissions of the baseline schedule. Opportunities
to reduce the overall schedule and reduce the risk of schedule delays
will be discussed. Once the baseline schedule is approved, monthly
updates will be submitted by the contractor and reviewed for work
completed during the period. Monitoring these updates will provide
insight into the progress and help determine if the project needs to
be accelerated to remain on track. The contractor will also prepare
a 3-week schedule every week that is reviewed during the weekly
progress meeting.
Maintaining an accurate schedule is also critical when unforeseen
conditions can lead to delays, and a time impact analysis (TIA) is
required. The contractor will prepare this TIA from the most recently
approved schedule update and will be reviewed by the Anser team.
We always want to be fair with a contractor when a delay occurs, but
we also must look out for the City’s interests. We have experience
negotiating with contractors during the delay to reach a resolution
to avoid disputes and claims later in the project. This is always the
best practice for avoiding large extra costs during project closeout.
Monthly Reporting
Brandon will monitor the project contingency monthly and report its
status in each Monthly Report. This report will give a comprehensive
project risks. Additionally, it will detail major milestone activities
achieved for the past month, as well as planned activities for the
following month. We will analyze bid items and CCOs to estimate the
total contingency used. It is important to communicate the project’s
budget with the City monthly so that the team can work diligently to
encumber the necessary funds if additional funds are required. Work

items completed and on-going project concerns will also be tracked
on the monthly report.
Labor Compliance
Labor compliance is one of the most common items audited on
construction projects. Our Labor Compliance efforts include checking
or California prevailing wage and overtime requirements, verifying
that all applicable forms are submitted in a timely manner, and
verifying that payments are being made to appropriate Trust Funds
will be reported and pursued, and withholding payment may be
utilized to achieve compliance. Anser has extensive experience
providing Labor Compliance, DBE, and EEO administration.
Submittals and RFIs
Rajan will also be the main point of contact for all submittal reviews
and RFIs. When the contractor turns in submittals, he will always
complete an initial review and then determine if they should be
routed to either the designer or City for additional comments. He will
the work. RFIs will follow a similar process of an initial review by the
Anser team and then reaching out for support as needed from the
City and Design Engineer.
Progress Meetings
Weekly progress meetings will be led by Brandon with the entire
project team included. All current project issues will be discussed
in the agenda and detailed meeting minutes will be maintained until
items are resolved. Progress meetings will also be the opportunity to
notify stakeholders of upcoming work zones and potential impacts.
Each meeting will begin with a safety topic and then the 3-week look
ahead schedule will be reviewed. All stakeholders will have a chance
to voice their concerns and have them reviewed.
Change Order Management
We understand that this work lends itself to small to mid-size
contractors with small margins. Our role is to fairly manage the work
and aid the contractor, when possible, to provide a win-win model to
the project. We do this by setting expectations early, verifying that
the contractor is properly set up for upcoming operations, having
pre-construction meetings, and quickly resolving issues by offering
solutions. We understand when a contractor reduces issues, their
strives to accomplish with each project.
If a change does arise, our team is well-versed in the change order
Quinta of the reason for the change and justify the cost impacts to
the project. Rajan will perform an Independent Cost Estimate (ICE)
prior to receiving the contractor’s estimate. This ICE will be the basis
of the change order’s Record of Negotiation (RON). Rajan and the
contractor will review the scope and agree to a lump sum cost for the
to a lump sum cost with the contractor, then a Force Account CCO will
be issued. With the CCO in process, our team will gain concurrence
from the City prior to sending it to the contractor.
CLOSEOUT
for the handoff to the City. This will include the as built plans that
have been updated whenever a change was encountered during
close the contract.
INSPECTION
Safety
working with contractors to ensure all OSHA safety rules are followed.
Proper personal protective equipment will be required at all times.
Jeremy will work closely with the contractor during all operations to
ensure the crew is working safety and following OSHA requirements
for construction. Public safety is paramount for all Anser-managed
projects. The project is on a busy La Quinta highway which has
contractor’s priority is clear, unobstructed, and safe access for public
be stringently monitored daily to comply with CA MUTCD standards. If
an issue is presented, Anser will work with the contractor to rectify
the situation immediately. We will not authorize unplanned work that
could cause a safety risk to the public. If an incident were to occur,
we would immediately ensure the area’s safety and notify City staff.
We will document and investigate the incident and develop a root
cause to prevent repeated incidents.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Before the project begins Jeremy will study the plans and
with the contractor. We will also review all required permits and
pre-construction documentation. See the below complementary
services section for information on Anser’s recommended
software, Open Space, used for pre, during, and post construction
records. Jeremy will also work with the City and contractor to get
before construction begins. He will also review utilities on site to plan
for upcoming work around them to avoid incidents.
4. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Construction Management & Inspection Services (Project No. 2022-25)8 Anser Advisory
CONSTRUCTION
Construction Reporting: Field Diary, Documentation
Maintenance, and Progress Reporting
Inspector daily reports are critical to any project to document
everything that happens on site each day. Jeremy’s reports will
contain a description of the work completed, crew and equipment
information, weather, bid item quantities, notes from any
correspondence on site, and photographs. These organized daily
reports will create a project record of everything completed on site.
They will also be summarized each week, and a weekly report will be
sent out to all stakeholders. This weekly report will be used to track
progress on the project, provide pictures, and monitor open items
that need to be resolved.
Special Inspections and Testing Recommendations
Jeremy will coordinate and schedule with the City for all material
testing required by the City Quality Assurance Program (QAP). Material
testing for this project will mainly include subgrade compaction
testing, asphalt testing, and concrete testing.
ADA Compliance Inspections
In order to address American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements on
projects, the project must be designed and constructed to enable
equal access to all individuals, facilitate the health and safety of
infrastructure users, and address all regulatory or legal requirements
related to ADA standards. Some of the key elements that our
construction managers review and verify throughout the full design
and construction process include:
Accessibility Requirements: new construction and alterations
must comply with ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). This
includes providing accessible routes, entrances, and facilities
for people with disabilities.
Signage: Signage throughout any project should be simple and
clear to assist individuals with visual impairments. Our team not
appropriate heights and locations.
Compliance Documentation: Throughout the construction
process, our team maintains documentation demonstrating
compliance.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Construction activities are ever-changing for various reasons
throughout a project, thus the reasons for keeping the SWPPP
a working document. Knowing the appropriate BMPs for various
construction activities is key to properly implementing a SWPPP,
especially on a project with many working locations. Our team is
extremely experienced in stormwater. Brandon and Rajan are both
who will perform on-site inspections.
Brandon will pay attention to the staging portions of the SWPPP and
look out for required BMPs to protect MS4 inlets and any downstream
streams nearby that are threatened by sediment. Due to the amount
of roadway and sidewalk removal, trucks will be accessing a lot of dirt
set up with construction entrances/exits and uses sweepers when
necessary. They will also need to clean trucks be before leaving to
ensure the haul route remains clear of debris. The contractor must
also include dust control measures in their plan to meet compliance.
Every location will require a new concrete sidewalk, curb, and gutter,
so our inspectors will ensure the contractor has washouts set up to
rinse out the trucks. Improper washout of trucks will not be tolerated,
and if found to happen, Rajan will shut down the contractor’s operation
until the contractor submits their operational changes.
Payment Monitoring
Each month at the close of the pay period, the inspector will prepare
the Quantity (Q) Sheets clearly and accurately to calculate the
work completed in the past month. The quantity sheets will show
will be signed off by the contractor. Upon completion, Rajan will
check the Q-Sheets for accuracy and input the quantities. Prior to
Q-sheet and sign off approving the payment. With multiple locations
and various site conditions on this project, it is possible that some
items may experience quantity overruns. The Anser team will closely
monitor each work item and look for trends early in the operation
will immediately bring it up to the City and begin forming mitigation
ideas to save project costs.
Digital Photographic Documentation
Photo documentation is very important for recording progress on
site. Photo documentation will be done pre-construction, regularly
during construction, and post-construction to establish a progress
history. We utilize OpenSpace to take photographs on an as-needed
as-built conditions. The photographs are stitched together and use
GPS coordinates to create a complete site record each time a walk is
performed. We have used these records many times to avoid claims
of damage to private property around the jobsite.
CLOSEOUT
Coordination of As-Built or Record Drawings
Throughout the project, we will keep and maintain electronic redlined
software to document all changes during construction. At project
closeout phase, we will review the contractor’s redlined as-built
Consultant. We will obtain and turn over all other project closeout
project report.
