Cover Letter January 27, 2025 Carley Escarrega City of La Quinta 78495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 RE: Proposal for Avenue 52 at Jefferson Roundabout Improvements | City Project No. 2024-10 Dear Ms. Escarrega and Members of the Selection Committee: The roundabout at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Jefferson Street serves as a critical hub for traffic movements. The City of La Quinta (City) is proud of this roundabout and wants to continue enhancing its accessibility and safety. The City seeks to implement improvements that would lead to this roundabout better accommodating modern traffic demands and more compliant with current safety and design standards. The City would be best served by a consultant that specializes in roundabout modifications and brings a team with both relevant experience and a local presence. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) is that firm. By partnering with us, you stand to capitalize upon the following benefits: Industry Leader in Roundabout Modifications. Kimley-Horn knows what to look for when designing roundabout modifications, and we will hit the ground running on this project. Our project manager, Sean Houck, PE, and roundabout quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) manager, Mark Lenters, PE(AZ), are among the Kimley-Horn personnel hired by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to develop mitigations and crash modification factors for already existing roundabouts. Sean and Mark are informed by their extensive experience with over 50 combined years of modern roundabout planning, design and construction experience. Sean has planned and designed more than 500 mini-, single-lane, and multi-lane roundabouts throughout the US, and Mark is a founding father of the roundabout movement in the US dating back to the 90s. Moreover, both Sean and Mark are active participants in roundabout interest groups; are co-authors of the Roundabout, 3rd Edition, are developing roundabout programs and guidelines for local agencies and departments of transportation (DOTs) across the country; and are actively conducting research and developing mitigations for multi-lane and high-speed roundabouts through the FHWA.

References of California Government Agencies City of Elk Grove Project: Sheldon Road/Bradshaw Road Roundabout ISR and Mitigation Plans Client Project Manager: Jeff Werner Contact Information: 8401 Laguna Palms Way, Elk Grove, CA 95758 | 916.478.2256 | jwerner@elkgrovecity.org Description: The City of Elk Grove hired Kimley-Horn to evaluate the existing roundabout at the Sheldon Road/Bradshaw Road intersection. We assessed collision locations, frequency, and patterns; identified unintended effects of intersection geometry, lighting, and traffic control devices on collision occurrence and traffic movements; assessed overall intersection efficiency/operations; and identified remedial measures reducing collision risk and improving intersection safety. Following our evaluation, the City of Elk Grove tasked us with preparing a plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) package to resurface the roundabout and install a new striping plan. Project Duration: April 2020 – August 2020 (evaluation); September 2020 – February 2022 (PS&E) Staff: Sean Houck, PE (project manager); Mark Lenters, PE(AZ) (QC/QA); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst) Final Outcome: Since we completed our work, this roundabout location has been the topic of case studies, with presentations to the Transportation Research Board (TRB), International TRB Roundabout Conference, American Public Works Association (APWA), and the Institu te of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The case study demonstrated the use of drone video analytics to develop evidence-based solutions and the effectiveness of mitigations such as buffered roundabout striping to reduce vehicle speeds and improve lane discipline. Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County, Nevada (RTC Washoe) Traffic Signal Modification 24-01 Project: Multiple Roundabout ISRs and Mitigation Plans Client Project Manager: Sara Going Contact Information: 1105 Terminal Way, Reno, NV 89502 | 775.335.1897 | sgoing@rtcwashoe.com Description: RTC Washoe requires circulation and feasibility studies, design, and construction support at multiple sites within the Cities of Reno and Sparks and unincorporated Washoe County. As part of these services, we are providing roundabout ISRs and mitigation plans at several of these sites. The Outlets at Legends Bay Drive/Lincoln Way Roundabouts: ISR and Mitigation Plans Kimley-Horn’s circulation study for the Outlets at Legend evaluated intersection operations and configurations at four intersections, including two roundabouts at Lincoln Way/Legends Bay Drive and Lincoln Way/Scheels Drive. We completed geometric and operational evaluations for the two roundabouts. These evaluations included documentation of field observations related to the intersections’ signing, striping, geometric features, and driver behavior; a summary of the data collected at the intersection; and recommendations of remedial measures for signing/striping and geometric configurations. The recommendations included conceptual OPCs to assist RTC Washoe with selecting and prioritizing intersection and corridor modifications. Virginia Street/Center Street Roundabout: ISR and Mitigation Plans Kimley-Horn performed a peer review of the two technical memorandums completed at the Virginia Street/Center Street roundabout and performed the design of the agreed-upon recommended improvements. We worked with RTC Washoe and the City of Reno to prepare a concept-level 2 improvement exhibit to be used for conveying information to stakeholders to move forward to design, and we prepared plans based on our recommendations from the peer review memorandum. Proctor R. Hug High School Roundabouts: ISR Kimley-Horn performed a circulation study for the new Proctor R. Hug High School campus off of Sullivan Lane to evaluate vehicle and pedestrian access along El Rancho Drive and Sullivan Lane. After collecting data related to roundabout driver behavior, we completed geometric and operation evaluations for the three study intersections at the roundabouts. We also performed vehicle circulation and pedestrian circulation evaluations and provided a technical memorandum. Project Duration: May 2023 – Ongoing Staff: Sean Houck, PE (roundabout engineer); Mark Lenters, PE(AZ) (QC/QA Manager); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst); Marah Yousif (analyst) Final Outcome: Since we completed this work, RTC Washoe decided to make significant capital improvements and implement the mitigations developed for the Outlets at Legend roundabouts. Our evidence-based approach provided RTC Washoe with the information needed to invest in a long-term solution that adds an additional circulating lane with true spiral circulating lane transitions to improve lane discipline, entry and exit modifications to improve sight lines, buffered roundabout striping to make the roundabout navigation more intuitive, and overhead signs to better position vehicles prior to the roundabout. We are preparing the mitigation plans, with construction to start in Spring 2025. Veterans Roundabout: ISR and Mitigation Plans Client Project Manager: Jessica Dover Contact Information: 1105 Terminal Way, Reno, NV 89502 | 775.335.1831 | jdover@rtcwashoe.com Description: Kimley-Horn is providing an existing roundabout ISR and mitigation improvements for this Reno-based roundabout. Our evidence- based solution approach to use drone video analyti cs supplemented a Roadside Safety Aduit previously conducted by the Nevada DOT (NDOT) as well as two additional corridor studies sponsored by RTC Washoe . The ISR confirmed some findings, corrected some findings, and identified new findings. Ultimately, the ISR developed a mitigation plan that improves safety, operations, and capacity at the roundabout and eliminated the need to reconstruct the intersection as a signal , saving RTC Washoe and NDOT over $5M. Our scope of work includes: traffic analysis, including analysis of anticipated growth and the addition of a northbound leg from the roundabout to Damonte Ranch Parkway; roundabout operations analysis and recommended improvements; and design of roundabout modifications. These roundabout modifications consist of: an eastbound Geiger Grade Road to southbound Geiger Grade Road; hot mix asphalt right-turn bypass lane adjacent to the existing roundabout with curb line and median; new sidewalk and grading outside of the right-turn bypass lane; and striping and signage modifications to the existing roundabout limits. Project Duration: June 2023 – Ongoing Staff: Sean Houck, PE (roundabout engineer); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst); Marah Yousif (analyst) Final Outcome: Since we completed this work, RTC Washoe and NDOT decided to make significant capital improvements and implement the mitigations developed for the Veterans roundabout. Our evidence-based approach provided RTC Washoe and NDOT with the information needed to invest in a long-term solution that adds an additional circulating lane with true-spiral circulating lane transitions to improve lane discipline, a right-turn lane, entry and exit modifications to improve sight lines and improve gap acceptance/operational efficiency, and buffered roundabout striping to make the roundabout navigation more intuitive. We are preparing the mitigation plans, with construction to start in 2025. 3 City of Phoenix Project: Lower Buckeye Road Roundabout ISR Client Project Manager: Reed Henry Contact Information: 200 W. Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003 | 602.534.7039 | reed.henry@phoenix.gov Description: The roundabout at 99th Street and Lower Buckeye Road has been in service for approximately 18 years. It was designed based on an earlier understanding of multi-lane roundabouts. In October 2024, Kimley-Horn visited the site for cursory observations and noted several geometric and traffic control non-conformance factors that are likely contributing to historically poor safety performance: • The inscribed diameter is around 240’, which is too large. • The design has a radial alignment of approaches to the circle, not a left- offset, which modern roundabouts benefit from. • Wayfinding is a challenge without overhead lane designation signs. • The approaches lack lane use arrow pavement markings. • The geometric entry speeds are high, generating failure-to-yield and entry-circulating conflicts. • The lane widths are excessive. • The entry angles (conflict angles) are low, generating poor entry sight to the left and high right-turn speeds. • The crosswalks are offset too far back at around 80 feet. The City requested confirmation of the significance of the deficiencies that contribute to an identified set of safety and operational deficiencies. Simply improving the roundabout by conforming it to present geometric design and traffic control standards of care was not enough because that might entail costly reconstruction of the layout. The study we undertook attributed, with confidence, the degree to which documented deficiencies contribute to poor safety and operations, thereby developing a set of countermeasures that is evidence-based and cost- effective. Project Duration: December 2023 – Ongoing Staff: Mark Lenters, PE(AZ) (project manager); Sean Houck, PE (roundabout engineer); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst) Final Outcome: We presented seven alternative countermeasure packages consisting of combinations signing, marking, and curbing. The City chose a low-cost solution for quick implementation and requested that we assess the effect of the improvements using video analytics to determine how well the improvements are performing, within weeks of implementation. Video analytics can assess conflicts, s aving the time it would normally take to wait for crash history to develop. Texas Transportation Institute Project: FHWA, Pooled Funded Study: Reasons for Drivers Failing to Yield at Multi-Lane Roundabouts, Phase 2 Client Project Manager: Marcus Brewer Contact Information: 1111 Rellis Parkway, Room 4426, Bryan, TX 77807 | 979.317.2147 | m-brewer@tti.tamu.edu Description: Multi-lane roundabouts have recently been associated with an unusual number of crashes. While those crashes tend to be low in severity, with only minor injuries, if any, the high number of crashes causes negative public perception of those roundabouts, which could affect the further implementation of roundabouts elsewhere. A list of common countermeasures was identified in Phase 1 and site- specific data to recommend specific countermeasures for implementation in Phase 2. This work plan is desig ned to accomplish the project objectives and provide a study methodology that road agencies can use in future evaluations and implementations in their own jurisdictions. Mark Lenters, PE(AZ) is the lead investigator for this research along with the prime consultant, Texas Transportation Institute. Project Duration: October 2023 – Ongoing Staff: Sean Houck, PE (investigator); Mark Lenters, PE(AZ) (lead investigator); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst); Marah Yousif (analyst) Final Outcome: This is an ongoing project with an expected conclusion in 2025. Tasks associated with site-specific video analytics, data analysis and countermeasure evaluations are complete. Pending tasks include presentation of countermeasures to a mock public meeting. 4 City of Lafayette Project: Pleasant Hill Road/Olympic Boulevard Roundabout ISR and Mitigation Plans Client Project Manager: Matt Luttropp Contact Information: 3675 Mount Diablo Road, #210, Lafayette, CA 94549 | 925.299.3247 | mluttropp@ci.lafayette.ca.us Description: The City of Lafayette retained Kimley-Horn to evaluate the geometry of the existing roundabout at the Pleasant Hill Road/Olympic Boulevard and provide recommendations for bicycle striping improvements. We reviewed the geometry of and provided recommendations in the form of an exhibit and memorandum. The work also included several meetings with the City of Lafayette in the field and online to discuss the improvements and make necessary changes. We submitted the memorandum to the City Council for review. Our initial evaluation led to the City of Lafayette hiring us to prepare a temporary signing and striping plan with improvements suggested in the initial study. After we submitted a plan and submitted it for construction, the City retained us to develop permanent modifications to the roundabout. The improvements included buffered bike lanes, delineators, raised crosswalks, bike crossings, road diet, and tightening up the travel lanes. Project Duration: October 2021 – November 2024 Staff: Sean Houck, PE (roundabout engineer); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst) Final Outcome: We prepared PS&E to redesign the roundabout as outlined by our original study. City of Palm Desert Project: Roundabout In-Service Audits at Various Locations Client Project Manager: Randy Bowman (at Coachella Valley Association of Governments) Contact Information: 74-199 El Paseo Suite, Suite 100, CA 91030 | 760.346.1127 | rbowman@cvag.org Description: Kimley-Horn provided general review and consultation services of existing roundabouts at various locations. For these roundabouts, we reviewed: aerial imagery from Google Earth Pro and intersection as-builts; collision locations, frequency, and patterns; and available speed data. Project Duration: January 2021 – July 2021 Staff: Sean Houck, PE (project manager); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst) Final Outcome: Based on our review, we identified potential unintended effects of intersection geometry, lighting, and traffic control devices on collision occurrence and traffic movements at the roundabouts, and subsequently reviewed brief memorandums documen ting the results of our review. City of Henderson Project: Greenway Road and Heather Drive Complete Street and Roundabouts Client Project Manager: Matt Roybal Contact Information: 240 S. Water Street, Henderson, NV 89015 | 702.267.3066 | matt.roybal@cityofhenderson.com Description: Kimley-Horn partnered with the City of Henderson to rehabilitate the roadway pavement while re-purposing the extra capacity on the Greenway and Heather roadways into multimodal and safety improvements for the entire 2.5-mile length of the corridors. This project started with a comprehensive Design Concept Report (DCR) to evaluate capacity and operations of all proposed alternatives, and to determine sustainable feasibility of a road diet and roundabout intersections. These improvements included buffered bicycle lanes, multi-use paths, wider sidewalks, full Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) improvements, reducing travel lanes from two in each direction to one in each direction with a two-way 5 left-turn lane, and numerous signalized and non-signalized pedestrian crossings to improve pedestrian facilities and operations. Our services also included reconstructing waterline service laterals, evaluating drainage improvements, and analyzing and designing three new roundabouts at the major intersections. During our comprehensive traffic study and modeling of the corridor using Synchro, Si dra® 8 and the HCM 6 capacity model, our team coordinated with the College of Southern Nevada and Foothills High Sch ool to incorporate the full future build-out of these education facilities into the results. Project Duration: May 2019 – August 2022 Staff: Sean Houck, PE (roundabout engineer); Jared Calise, EIT (analyst) Final Outcome: The project was constructed. 6 3. Staffing and Project Organization Firm Profile Over our 58 years of service, Kimley-Horn has grown from a small group of transportation planners and traffic engineers to more than 8,400 employees in 137 offices nationwide, 13 of which are in California. The map to the right indicates the locations of our California offices, including our Coachella Valley office in Palm Desert. Today, we are recognized as one of the nation’s largest engineering, planning, and environmental consulting firms. Our continued growth and stability are the direct result of our firm’s commitment to integrity and dedication to providing high-quality services to our clients. In 2024, Engineering News-Record ranked Kimley-Horn 10th out of the top 500 US design firms. Our clients receive the local knowledge and responsiveness of a small organization, backed by the depth of resources of a national firm. Exceptional Roundabout Experience Kimley-Horn recognized the potential of the roundabout as a safer, more efficient intersection solution 20 years ago, and we have since completed feasibility studies and final design for roundabout projects throughout the nation. We have been diligent in learning everything we can about the evolving art of roundabout design. We have become activ e participants in roundabout interest groups, including local and nationally recognized roundabout seminars, webinars, and conf erences. It is not just our practice, but also our passion, that has afforded Kimley-Horn the opportunity to work on more than 3,000 roundabout projects nationwide. Over the past 5 years alone, our California-based roundabout team, led by project manager Sean Houck, PE, has provided more than 50 clients at over 100 roundabout locations with: • Intersection control evaluation (ICE) analysis • Roundabout geometric feasibility analysis • Preliminary and final design • Concept and design peer review • Roundabout construction support • Roundabout in-service reviews and modifications • Roundabout policy and design guide manuals (local, regional, state dot, and national) • Research A detailed illustration of our team’s roundabout experience can be found on the map on the following page. These roundabout projects include modern roundabouts, from triple-lane to mini-roundabouts, roadway design, structural design, landscaping architecture, and traffic engineering elements. In-Service Roundabout Reviews Kimley-Horn is not just a firm specializing in traditional roundabout design; we are leading the industry in providing evidence-based solutions to problematic roundabouts. Our project staff is utilizing the latest in artificial intelligence (AI) tools to correlate undesirable driver behavior with roundabout geometry, pavement markings, and signing. We are working with agencies across the country in solving problematic roundabouts and developing proven mitigations. Why does this experience matter? Our experience gives us unique insight into the effectiveness of seemingly mundane civil det ails and how those details translate to both construction and driver behavior. These details include mountable curb design, hardscape treatments, use of contrasting colors, pavement marking details, landscape and sight line coordination, transitioning bicycles through intersections, pedestrian crossing, and targeted approach vehicle deceleration, etc. Most importantly, we have extensi ve experience providing ISRs of similar roundabouts that are contributing to the development of a mitigation toolbox being prepared by the FHWA. 7 Evidence-Based Solutions Kimley-Horn has been at the forefront of utilizing drone footage and video analytics to observe driver behavior , develop countermeasures, and monitor effectiveness of implemented countermeasures at roundabouts. We interviewed and evaluated several providers that provide video analytics and vehicle-path detection services. The provider we selected allows us the most freedom to extract and post-process the data for the specific needs at each roundabout. Additionally, we are in communication with the software provider to improve our workflow and the effectiveness of extracting crucial data. Kimley-Horn is currently working on Phase II of a pooled fund study with the FHWA. Phase II of the pooled fund study was to perform an ISR at two problematic roundabouts identified by the FHWA Technical Advisory Panel (TAP). The ISR process included reviewing crash history, analyzing driver behavior with video analytics, performing operational analysis, conducting a signage inventory, and identifying geometric concerns based on design guidance. The study concludes with several packages of improvements to address overrepresented crash patterns. ISR and evaluation specialist Jared Calise, EIT submitted a paper highlighting the success of an ISR at a roundabout for the City of Elk Grove to the TRB. The paper was accepted for lectern presentation at the annual TRB meeting this past January in Washington, DC. The paper provides an overview of the ISR process, discusses the countermeasure development process, and focuses on monitoring improvements using video analytics. The acceptance of Jared’s paper has influenced changes to multi-lane roundabout design guides in multiple cities. Our exceptional roundabout experience and commitment to evidence-based solutions provides owners with the information needed to effectively and confidently plan and fund mitigation improvements. The use of modern roundabouts has been proven throughout the world—and increasingly across the US—to be an effective measure of reducing vehicular speeds, reducing vehicle emissions, and providing a safer environment for pedestrians and bicyclists —often at a long- term cost that is significantly lower than the signalized and conventionally configured alternatives. As trusted partners, we work diligently on behalf of our clients’ needs and will continue to do so for this project. Organizational Chart Kimley-Horn knows that the key to a project’s success are individuals who focus on quality, proactive communication, and successful partnerships, and we have assembled a team that is tailor-made for the City and the project. We have organized our in-house team to cover the services that you will need based on the project’s scope of work and to provide experienced and efficient project management. The organizational chart on the following page identifies the members of our team and illustrates our team’s organizational structure and the type of work that each team member will directly perform on this project. 8 Per the instructions in the City’s RFP, we have provided resumes for our key personnel in the Appendices. Kimley-Horn offers a full range of services and internal staff that can are available to provide additional technical resources should t he selected mitigations require these services. These services include, but are not limited to, environmental documentation, landscape architecture, electrical engineering, and pavement assessment. Staff Availability Kimley-Horn understands that the basis of a successful project is founded on responsiveness and adequate staffing. Our single-profit- center structure enables us to share and balance our workload as well as shift personnel to various projects successfully across multiple offices nationwide. This structure means you get the same responsive and timely service you deserve for the project—no matter which Kimley-Horn office is supporting you. Our team has the capacity to meet yours and the project’s needs. 9 Kimley-Horn utilizes a weekly, monthly, and six-month internal workload forecast system on a firmwide basis to determine workloads and availability of staff as well as identify key resources required for a project’s successful delivery. Our “castaheads” sy stem tracks all project commitments/milestones and staff commitments, giving us the ability to manage workload peaks and valleys, and allowing us to take proactive steps to keep a project on track. We have effectively utilized this tool in the delivery of local projects over the past several years, and we can identify overloads and shortfalls many months in advance and develop strategies to overcome them. Based on a revie w of our castaheads, we can assure you that our team for this project is available imme diately to serve you and are in an excellent position to handle the workload required to deliver this project. Once the project gets underway, our project manager, Sean Houck, PE, and our proposed discipline leads will meet on a weekly basis to establish task lists for staff and to check that staff resources are properly allocated for the upcoming week. In addition, Sean has the authority to mobilize Kimley-Horn’s 8,400+ professionals at any given time to meet the City’s needs on the project. 10 4. Subcontracting Services Kimley-Horn has reviewed the scope of services and has determined that no portion of it should be subcontracted. 11 5. Project Understanding and Approach We understand that the City is requesting engineering services to evaluate the existing roundabout at Avenue 52 and Jefferson Street; develop mitigations for deficiencies and corrections undesirable driver behavior; and finally, prepare PS&E for construction of the identified and approved mitigations. The project roundabout was originally constructed in 2002 as a large- diameter, multi-lane roundabout with two-lane approaches and without delineation of the circulating lanes. In 2015/16, the roundabout was converted from multi-lane approaches to a single-lane approach and circulating lane. Since the roundabout’s construction, there has been significant refinement of roundabout design principles and best practices. In fact, the state of the practice has evolved from the first roundabout guide in 2000 to the current 3rd Edition guide released in 2023, and will further evolve as ongoing evidence-based research is conducted and performance criteria and design techniques are refined, especially with respect to multi-lane roundabout design and the targeted mitigation of low-energy collisions. Kimley-Horn is a co-author of the 3rd edition guide and are currently working with the FHWA in developing mitigations and design techniques for multi-lane roundabouts. Our experience provides the City with the future of roundabout design. We have a deep understanding of evaluating underperforming roundabouts and developing a series of cost effective mitigations, ranging from near-term through long-term implementation depending on the budget and schedule for capital improvements. A key component of our approach is to develop evidence based solutions that inform our clients and provide engineers and elected officials with the confidence that scarce funding is applied for the most beneficial improvements. This is especially the case when our evaluations indicate that a significant reconstruction of the roundabout is needed to achieve target operations and safety goals. An overview of our proposed work plan and approach to the project is as follows: 1. Existing Condition Assessment and Field Operations a. Collision analysis b. Observed driver behavior c. Existing geometry assessment d. Pavement markings and signing evaluation e. Lighting assessment f. General observations g. Existing and forecast traffic operations 2. Countermeasure Alternatives a. Near-term mitigations b. Medium-term mitigations c. Long-term mitigations 3. Countermeasure Selection a. Stakeholder engagement b. Selection of mitigations c. Development and refinement of countermeasures based on likely implementation timeline d. Implementation and phasing plan 4. Design Documentation a. Documentation of roundabout design checks b. Geometric approval of roundabout improvements c. PS&E 5. Bid and Construction Support Circa 2015, Google Earth Circa 2016, Google Earth AVENUE 52 AT JEFFERSON ROUNDABOUT IMPROVEMENTS City Project No. 2024-10 CITY OF LA QUINTA  RSCASACR004297.2024 12 Fast Speeds through right-turn bypass lane (typical) Radial entries result in higher-than- expected entry speeds (typical) Fast Exiting speeds at cross walk (typical) Large, unused circulating width Vehicles driving through cheveron area Large conflict areas can result in more failure-to-yield type crashes (typical) Near miss collision between passenger car and motorcycle 13 Evidence Based Approach Our evidence-based approach is a critical component as we work through the Existing Condition Assessment and Field Operations phase of work. There are three primary components to our evidence-based approach. 1. Quadrant collision analysis 2. Video analytics 3. Lighting assessment Each of these components on their own are unlikely to identify a single cause for the roundabout’s undesirable performance. However, when used together, each identifies a piece of the puzzle and leads us to develop targeted and/or comprehensive mitigation plans for the roundabout. Quadrant Collision Analysis: Kimley-Horn will evaluate crashes based on location and severity and will compare them against the number of vehicles passing through each zone to identify the spatial aspects of the crash trends. The frequency of crashes will be compared to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 888 crash prediction model to identify areas where crash rates exceed predicted values. Video Analytics: Kimley-Horn uses drone-based video analytics to observe driver behavior through identification of driver trends, individual driver analytics, and identification of near-miss and heavy breaking episodes. We are also able to use video analytics to evaluate traffic operations through observation of gap acceptance, follow-up headway, and the effect of pedestrians and bicycle interactions with vehicles. What are video analytics? We define them as the process of applying AI to define vehicle kinematics in video for the purpose of extracting time-spatial data, applying predictive kinematic models, and visualizing driver behavior trends. Video analytics provides us with raw data that we post process to give a complete picture of how drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are navigating the roundabout. Raw Data Post Processing • Vehicle Classifications • Vehicle Paths • Movement Dynamics o Speed o Acceleration o Deceleration • Predictive Kinematics o Near-Miss Collisions o Heavy Breaking Incidences • Speed Profiles • 85th Percentile Speeds • Maximum Speeds • Lane Changes • Origin-Destination • Natural Paths • Dwell Time • Follow-up Headway The video analytics data is compared to calculated roundabout performance measures, such as theoretical fastest path and operations, to correlate expected performance with actual performance. Lighting Assessment: Kimley-Horn will conduct a photometric analysis and model the existing lighting levels of the roundabout to identify lighting levels at vehicle and pedestrian conflict points. 14 Countermeasure Alternatives This activity is the development of strategies to address the identified deficiencies. Selection of alternatives involve a ra nge of solutions, including immediate maintenance-type improvements, geometrics, and operational and traffic control devices. Although the focus of this project is to identify infrastructure improvements as safety countermeasures, we will suggest education and enforcement countermeasures to complement the investments. For roundabouts, the predictability of expected crash reduction related to various countermeasures is not yet established in research; however, evaluation of countermeasures will be reasoned by associating the expected countermeasure effectiveness in terms of crash frequency and severity reduction against the countermeasure implementation cost. Major roundabout upgrades, which are typical ly longer- term costly improvements, may also enhance roundabout safety. The capacity trade-offs involved in implementing safety countermeasures will be highlighted and compared whenever possible, documenting costs, benefits, and trade-offs. Countermeasure alternatives will be developed and grouped into three categories: near-, medium-, and long-term improvements. Each identified countermeasure will be rated by estimated cost and effectiveness in mitigating identified deficiencies. Kimley-Horn will provide a recommended set of improvements based on funding timelines and consideration by the City. Countermeasure Selection Kimley-Horn will work with the City to refine the recommended improvements and make a final selection of mitigation improvements for construction. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience in outreach for roundabout projects and a full menu of outreach and informational resources such as static and dynamic renderings, including full integration of VISSIM traffic simulations into high quality 3D video renderings. We routinely make presentations that combine the results of our video analytics with video renderings of the proposed improvements. At the conclusion of the countermeasure selection, Kimley-Horn will work with the City to develop a refined and final scope and fee for the Design Documentation phase. We prefer this approach as it aligns with our evidence-based philosophy to follow the data and then develop improvement mitigations. Design Documentation Kimley-Horn is a full-service roundabout firm. The roundabout team is dedicated to the full spectrum of services, from research to planning to design to construction support to ISRs. In other words, the same team conducting the ISR will design the roundabout mitigations and will provide construction support. We apply this full cross-section of experience into the development of our geometric approval drawings (GADs) and PS&E package. Since we provide construction support services for our roundabouts, we tailor our plans and details to minimize contractor misinterpretation of the design intent that may be critical to the performance of the roundabout. Kimley-Horn approaches roundabout design with a strong foundation in modern roundabout principles. This approach provides the City with a progressive set of approval documents that clearly communicate the design intent. Our practices are based not only upo n current, US-based roundabout trends, studies, and methodologies, but also developments in our understanding of driver behavior and ongoing research that are informing the next generation of roundabout guidance. We employ a systematic approach based on specific ins ight and lessons learned from working on similar project s for multiple public agencies. We recommend the same proven approach for the design phase of the Avenue 52 at Jefferson Street roundabout . Highlights of our approach include: • Implementation of the selected countermeasures • Early identification of project constraints • Cost-effective use of exiting curb, drainage, landscape, etc. infrastructure to reduce construction costs while balancing and achieving performance goals • Clear presentation of roundabout operations and performance parameters. • Principle-based design with fluid, smooth flowing vehicle paths and clear lines of sight • Clear presentation of geometrics that adhere to fundamental roundabout design principles • Progressive submission of roundabout approval documents so City staff will be comfortable with roundabout geometrics and design checks prior to PS&E design. This step mitigates Kimley-Horn’s schedule and budget risk during final design. It also 15 provides a level of comfort to the City that the roundabout is being designed in a way that is consistent with modern roundab out design principles. Prepare Concept Intersection Layouts The conceptual design phase provides a framework to evaluate multiple approach alignment alternatives and project constraints in a cost- effective manner. Colored CADD drawings identifying pedestrian pathways, landscaping, and pavement markings consistent w ith the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) provide not only clear assessment of the approach, departure, turn, and circulatory lanes needed for vehicle capacity, but also context for landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, and right-of-way impacts. If the preferred mitigation includes a significant reconstruction of the roundabout , we recommend the development of at least two concepts at this location. The concepts could include variations on the roundabout -inscribed circle diameter, location, and shape of the roundabout central island, and/or variations in the approach and exit geometry. In some cases, there could be a hybrid of various features that help explore the range of options and tradeoffs at each of the concepts. This is an important step in the roundabout’s development to achieve target safety performance measures, stormwater goals, environmental avoidance/mitigation areas, right -of-way impacts, utility avoidance, pedestrian facilities, etc. Our extensive roundabout experience allows the development of these roundabout concepts without significant expense in conduc ting roundabout design checks at this level. Roundabout GADs Once a preferred roundabout concept is selected, the roundabout will be refined, and roundabout design checks will be conducted and documented. Fastest path estimation, design vehicle swept paths, and design vehicle tire tracking will establish 95% complete horizontal curb geometry. Based on the estimated fastest paths and approach design speeds, intersection sight distances and stopping sight distances will be computed to assure clear line of sight to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The design checks and sight lines will be clearly illustrated for review and concurrence by the City and Caltrans. The curb/dike geometry, pavement markings, and restr icted sight areas will be dimensioned and illustrated on a roll plot for approval. This is a critical milestone to be completed before preparation of the PS&E documents. Plans and Estimates Critical design issues will be solved and documented in the preliminary engineering and GAD process. Upon completion of the p reliminary engineering phase, the construction package preparation will commence. Plans will be prepared in as identified in the RFP for 65% review and the 90-100% reviews. Optional Service: Pavement Assessment Kimley-Horn also has in-house pavement management specialists that can provide recommendations for pavement rehabilitation that complements to scope of the planned improvements. We offer the City significant expertise in newer methods, such as Full Depth Asphalt Recycling (FDAR), pulverization techniques, Asphalt Rubber and Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) as well as additional in-place pavement recycling techniques. Our team is skilled at pavement rehabilitation projects and other factors associated with pavement design, such as roadway improvements; construction support; federal funding support; utility coordination; and the reduction of traffic impacts during construction. Optional Service: Landscape Architecture From the revitalization of community parks to the design and implementation of downtown streetscapes, Kimley-Horn has successfully planned and implemented scores of landscape architecture projects. We have a well-earned reputation for combining creative ideas, technical excellence, and client collaboration, resulting in dynamic projects that blend into their environments and become a part of the area they inhabit. Our landscape architects have a diverse range of experience from corridor plans and downtown streetscape programs to parks and recreation planning. Our team has great experience working with a “dry lush“ aesthetic —one that utilizes low water use plant material that provides visual impact making for a strong sense of place. As metropolitan urban areas continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and transportation system designs a nd infrastructure improvements in general. Revitalizing commercial districts, controlling traffic flows, and providing recreational areas and pedestrian and bicycle facilities in increasingly congested areas are some of the solutions designed by our landscape archite cts and 16 planners. Our full-service consulting includes feasibility studies, master planning, design, permitting, public participation and consensus building, and construction administration. Optional Service: Environmental Services Kimley-Horn provides a full range of environmental analyses, technical studies, and permitting for capital improvement projects. Thi s includes California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, obtaining regula tory permits, assessing hazardous materials, and completing technical analyses required for environmental documents and permits. Each of th ese services are supported by our geographic information systems (GIS) analysts, who can complete spatial analysis an d maps that are essential for reports and permit applications. We have a thorough understanding of local, state, and federal regulations through both our experience and regular training on changes in CEQA, NEPA, and applicable case law affecting the interpretation of current statutes. Our key staff brings experience o n local and regional public works and development projects, delivering environmental documents that are sensitive to the public’s concern for reso urce protection and community impact, balanced by the cost and feasibility of implementing development and inf rastructure projects. Our team draws on years of experience to develop readable, legally defensible documents and to assess project designs that minimize im pacts to the natural environment and community. Our overall experience means that the County has acc ess to a team that can provide comprehensive environmental service. General Work Approach and Scope Control Kimley-Horn has developed a three-part, proactive approach to managing and controlling project scopes: Part One: Constant communication and coordination with the City project manager and key stakeholders from project initiation to closeout. Regular interface with the agency project managers is the best way to control scope and budget creep, limit project surprises and/or risks, and understand potential changes in the project needs. Project communication levels required for successful pro ject delivery will vary depending on the size and scope of the project. Part Two: Confirm that the scopes are clearly defined, and that both the City and Kimley-Horn have the same project understanding and expectations at the start of a project. Over the years, we have developed a solid understanding of the project process and have tailored our approach to project scopes and fees accordingly. A clearly defined scope and fee help to confir m that the expectations of both the City and Kimley-Horn project managers can be met, and projects can be delivered more efficiently. Part Three: Regular monitoring and updating of a project work plan, which is created at the start of the project. The project work plan is tailored to specific type and size of project, and includes basic information such as project scope, budget, and sche dule as well as additional project specific items such as: document control, QC/QA, risk management, staffing, and communication plans. We und erstand that each project, no matter the size or type, is important to the City and its cooperating agencies. Thus, we have established a robust project control plan and are committed to continuing to refine our process as projects and needs evolve. Budget and Schedule Control As our clients will confirm, Kimley-Horn has an excellent record of completing projects on schedule and within budget. We have a sophisticated Management Information System (MIS)—including software such as the CostPoint Engineering Accounting system and Microsoft Power BI—that allows our project managers to monitor budgets closely. Using the Project Effort Reports generated twice monthly by our MIS, project managers gain a clear understanding of the project scope early in the process to develop a realis tic, well thought-out work plan. Once the work plan is developed with the stakeholders, our project manager, Sean Houck, PE, communicates to the project team the key milestones and submittal dates—including time for QC reviews—as well as the important of maintaining the established schedule and budget. This communication, along with teamwork and organization, results in successf ul projects and satisfied clients. The best approach to keeping a project on schedule is to create a risk register whereby we: 1. Track each potential issue 2. Define the criticality of each potential issue 3. Identify the steps and dates for resolution of each potential issu e This approach holds the team accountable and forms the basis for the sequence of steps each team member needs to take to reach resolution and keep the project moving forward. 17 Approach to QC/QA At Kimley-Horn, quality is essential to all phases of a project life cycle, including inception, planning, design, construction, and op erations. Kimley-Horn measures the success of our quality by the following metrics: • Client satisfaction • Limited construction change orders • Construction costs near our engineers’ opinion of costs • Project delivery within schedule and budget To achieve the above metrics, we actively implement our firm wide QC/QA policies and procedures on all of our projects. QC/QA Implementation The QC/QA plan that Kimley-Horn and its team members will follow in the execution of services prepared under this contract is currently being utilized successfully on our other local public contracts and includes the following five key elements: Structure: Each QC/QA plan includes a project manager (responsible for the overall quality of the project), technical managers (engineer s responsible for discipline design development), and QC/QA manager s (responsible for verifying that the QC/QA plan is being implemented and followed). Procedures: Intra-disciplinary checking of documents will be performed by a competent individual within each discipline other than the designer. We have established a color -coded comment process that involves the following steps: an initial check (performed by the checker); a review of comments to help confirm that suggested changes to the documents are given adequate consideration and th e resolution is documented (performed by the designer); a review so that changes to the documents are completed in the or iginal documents (performed by the designer); and finally, a review that helps guarantee changes to the documents are completed accurately (pe rformed by the checker). Inter-Disciplinary Reviews: Inter-disciplinary reviews and coordination are performed throughout the project and prior to key submittals, when senior staff from the various discipline groups are brought together to discuss and comment on the interaction of the ov erall project elements. Quality Assurance Audit: Our general QC/QA manager, Frank Hoffman, PE, will be responsible for conducting a quality assurance audit after completion of the checking and review process and prior to the submittal of any document or deliverable. Deliverables and Document Control: The project manager will manage the submission of design documents after the QC/QA audit is complete and at milestone completion dates. Our roundabout QC/QA manager, Mark Lenters, PE(AZ), will be responsible for conducting peer reviews of all roundabout-specific deliverables, including deficiencies, mitigations, concept development, geometric approvals, and PS&E. Corrective Action Measures: Corrective action measures will be taken if incorrect or nonconforming work is discovered in deliverable items that have already completed the QC/QA process. 18 6. Scope of Services Task 1: Project Administration and Meetings This task includes general project administration, including management of project staff, QC, and project accounting. We assume a project duration of 6 months. Kimley-Horn will attend a kick-off meeting with the City. We will hold a monthly virtual (Teams Meeting) Project Development Team (PDT) meeting the City and stakeholders. We assume a total of 5 meetings under this task. The meetings are in addition to site visit and workshops described in individual tasks. Task 2: Data Collection Kimley-Horn will be entitled to rely on the completeness and accuracy of all information provided by the City. The City shall provide all information requested by Kimley-Horn during the project including, but not limited to: as-built drawings, existing traffic volumes, recent speed surveys, and collision data for both study intersections. Kimley-Horn will complete one (1) field visit to observe the intersection’s lane configuration, priority to circulating traffic, speed consistency, natural paths, vehicle storage lengths, speed limits, lane discipline, lane utilization, adjacent land uses, and other readil y apparent features for the study facilities that are deemed by Kimley-Horn to be relevant to the Scope of Services. This Scope of Services includes the collection of traffic data. To assist with the evaluation of driver behavior along the intersection’s approaches, Kimley -Horn will use drone video imagery supplemented with video tracking software to document roundabout entry speeds and vehicle travel paths. We will collect approximately 8 hours (two 4-hour periods) of video during a typical weekday. Kimley-Horn with will prepare high precision aerial drone mapping for the project. Our in-house aerial mapping system utilizes high- resolution drone images in combination with ground control points. The ground control points will be set using AeroPoints sma rt ground control. High resolution aerial images from 100 feet above ground with an overlap and sidelap of 80 % will be taken. Using ESRI’S SITESCAN software, the field data will be processed into high resolution Orthomosaics and 1-foot contour mapping at 1”=40’ scale. Base mapping will be set up in AutoCad format. Contour mapping will be displayed on base map. Mapping will be provided electronically in PDF and DWG format. Kimley-Horn will review existing as-built lighting plans provided by the City. We will conduct a nighttime field review to verify the existing streetlight information provided by the City and observe and record existing light levels at the intersection approaches and within the pedestrian crossings using an electronic light meter. Task 3: Collision Analysis Kimley-Horn will undertake an analysis of a minimum of 3 years of historical records that are provided by the City, including collision report diagrams, to identify link and roundabout collision characteristics using the following measures: • Collision type, class (severity), weather, lighting, and pavement condition • Collision frequency and clusters • Collision prediction models for multi-lane roundabouts and comparison to traffic signals Collision data cluster analysis will be undertaken using the CAD-generated crash diagrams. Characteristics that we will look for are: • Collision type clusters, whereby collisions of a single type are recurring • A quadrant analysis to determine if spatial patterns are approach specific • Directional clusters, whereby collisions are occurring in the same travel direction We will also investigate collision distribution patterns to document temporal collision distributions by year , by month, by day, and by hour. We will also document environmental distributions by weather , by road surface condition, and by light condition. 19 Task 4: Geometric and Traffic Control Conformance Review (office) Kimley-Horn will review the existing roundabout for general consistency with national, regional, and local guidelines. Our review will consider general geometric, signing, and striping characteristics of neighboring roundabouts to provide consistency with driver expectations and lead to smooth speed transitions from entry to exit. Inconsistent geometry can contribute to an increased collision risk. Drivers tend to build up expectancies based on information provided by the road environment. Geometric features that violate these expectancies could cause a collision risk. • Horizontal alignment • Vertical alignment • Cross sectional elements • Combinations of inconsistencies • Commercial driveway access proximity • Proximity of adjacent signalized or unsignalized intersections Other geometric characteristics that we will analyze include: • Sight distance • Acceleration, deceleration, and auxiliary turning lanes. The width of lanes and length and taper dimensions of these lanes will be reviewed. • Transit facilities • Roadway lighting and visual clutter • Drainage features • Pavement condition • Combinations of geometry and pavement marking Assessment of traffic control device conformance will use the current Guide for Roundabouts (NCHRP 1043, July 2023) and the CA MUTCD. The activity involves the documentation of signage and markings using as-built information, site visit, and drone photography. The field work that will be used to generate the inventory will also undertake the following: • Inventory of traffic control devices (signs, pavement markings, and signal heads) and visibility under various light conditions • Usage of traffic control devices and identification of existing devices that are not required or that are improperly located • Principles of positive guidance (early and repeated direction or warning) are used to guide drivers through complex or non-typical situations Task 5: Operational Analysis Kimley-Horn will document operational characteristics through the collection of the traffic count data by drone video. We will analyze the data for the following characteristics: • Volume distribution and turning movements during peak hours • Vehicle classification distribution Operational efficiency can have a direct bearing on the collision risk. The capacity performance of the roundabout will be qu antified for each peak hour of interest, using measures such as delay, volume/capacity ratios, and queuing for each turning movement and for the roundabout as a whole. We will conduct the capacity analyses according to the procedures of the Highway Capacity Manual, Sixth Edition for roundabouts using Sidra 9 software The operational analysis will include an assessment of operation al sensitivity to observed traffic operations and variability in gap acceptance and follow-up headway. Task 6: Drone Video Reconnaissance Kimley-Horn will collect a video log of the roundabout. We will generate a drone video file for analysis of vehicle paths, speeds, lane changes and conflict patterns. We will compare the analysis of the field conditions to crash patterns for correlation with conflicts and trajectory patterns to improve confidence in attributing patterns to deficiencies in geometry and the traffic information sys tem. This uses driver performance factors as a clue to deficiencies in wayfinding and interpretation of the rounda bout design and traffic information system. We will document pedestrian crossing behavior, e.g., crossing outside a designated crosswalk and crossing speed. 20 We will generate an understanding of the site user profile and operational characteristics at this stage. We will also familiarize ourselves with the roundabout’s operational efficiency and how this efficiency may affect safety performance. We will undertake traffic conflict analysis typically consisting of identifying conflicts based on time -to-collision algorithms, provided with the use of the video analytics software. The results of this effort will be documented as a Conflict Diagram showing conflict type and spatial distribution in an attempt to correlate conflict patterns with crash patterns. We will compare traffic conflict analysis results to the collision analysis results. Traffic conflict patterns serve to identify the underlying rea sons why certain types of collisions are occurring. Task 7: Identification of Deficiencies Kimley-Horn’s activities will lead to identification and documentation of operational and safety deficiencies that are contributing to crash risk at the subject roundabout. Each identified deficiency will be quantified and, as much as possible, linked to the measurable f eatures that have been analyzed. Examples of deficiencies that may be identified include: • Traffic operations/capacity deficiencies as measured by long delays and queuing, resulting in aggressive driver behavior • Traffic signs and visibility deficiencies as measured by the placement and conspicuity • Pavement markings and signing deficiencies, such as faded, missing, or misplaced signs and markings • Access management deficiencies as measured by the density of driveways and their proximity to the roundabout • Excessive driving lanes leaving too much space for illicit maneuvers • Irregular pavement or cross-slope • Deficiencies in crossing location, accommodation of pedestrians, bicycles, and wheelchairs at the roundabout and adjacent transit stops, as measured by the presence and quality of features such as sidewalk ramps • Geometric deficiencies such as sight distance due to vertical and horizontal constraints and landscape vegetation • Lighting deficiencies as measured by field readings during nighttime conditions and photometric analysis A mutual understanding of the problems and deficiencies at a location is an important element in an ISR. Problem identification paves the way to identification and evaluation of countermeasures. Task 8: Selection and Evaluation of Countermeasures Using the data collected, the data analysis and evaluation, and the deficiencies identified in Task 7, Kimley-Horn will identify potential improvements to address identified geometric and operational deficiencies at the study intersection. The improvements will be evaluated based on their potential effectiveness as a countermeasure for the identified deficiencies. These evaluations will include the following efforts: • Summary of recommended countermeasures correlated with the specific deficiency target. • Recommended remedial measures for signing/striping, geometric, and lighting. These recommendations will include conceptual Opinions of Probable Construction Costs (OPCCs) for the primary purpose of assisting the City with the selection and prioritization of intersection modifications. • Ranking of remedial measures in terms of effectiveness to the following target goals 1. Target collision type 2. Technically feasible and practical 3. Compatible with strategies used at similar sites 4. Potential benefit-cost 5. Make sure that the solution does not require unreasonable levels of enforcement, i.e., the solution represents sustainable safety. Kimley-Horn will present our findings to the City project team in a workshop format in order to engage the City for consensus -building, including the prioritization of deficiencies to be corrected and the identification of potential solutions and alternatives. Task 9: Improvement Strategies The remedial improvements and prioritization identified in Task 8 will be consolidated into implementable improvement strategies and packages. 21 Kimley-Horn will select countermeasures based on cost-effectiveness, and we will group them into workable strategies for consideration. These can be categorized as: • Immediate or Short-Term Actions include countermeasures that should be implemented soon after the City is made aware of the issues. These include relatively inexpensive countermeasures that could be funded from operational or maintenance budgets. • Medium to Long-Term Actions include more expensive countermeasures that may require extensive design work and possibly the acquisition of right-of -way and environmental documentation. Task 10: Documentation Efforts completed in Tasks 1-3 will be documented in a report with graphics as deemed appropriate by Kimley-Horn. We will prepare a report documenting the study procedures, findings, calculations, and recommendations. The report shall contain figures, tables, and photographs to succinctly summarize and support the key findings of the study. Given the potential complexity of this type of study, it is important that the final report be transparent and traceable in concise language with supporting technical information includ ed in appendices. We will present a draft final report to the City in a virtual meeting. We will give City staff the opportunity to digest the draft report and provide comments on the Final Report content. Documentation will include crash analysis, video analytics results, countermeasure concept designs, traffic control device schematics, high-level cost estimates, and CAD files using digital aerial displays. Public consultation is frequently a component of confirming the appropriate set of safety improvements. While it is not part of the scope of services, it is an important phase of implementing safety improvements, particularly where the safety record of roundabout has genera ted strong negative impressions. Task 11: Improvement Plans (PS&E) Kimley-Horn is providing a summary scope as a place-holder for potential improvement plans assuming minor improvements consistent with quick-build implementation. Due to the nature of the study and the unknown extent of improvement that will be selected, we recommend that the scope and fee for Task 11-13 be reviewed with the final recommendations and improvement strategies identified in the ISR Report. Kimley-Horn will prepare PS&E for the requested intersection improvements. The work described under this task is subject to negotiat ion and change by amendment based on the results of previous tasks. For the purposes of this scope of services, all improvements are anticipated to be consolidated and presented in a single PS&E package. The PS&E components will be specified by the City. Furthermore, for the purposes of this scope of services, the following three (3) submittals are anticipated to be required and are thus included: 1. 35% Plans (electronic; PDF only) 2. 65% PS&E (electronic; PDF, Word, or Excel only) 3. 90-100% Final PS&E (electronic, PDF, Word, or Excel only) We will address one (1) set of consolidated, non-conflicting City comments on each of the submittals. If the comments require additional analysis or data collection beyond that provided for in this scope of services, this work will be considered as an additional service. Any additional comment responses, regardless of origin, will also be considered as an additional service. Task 12: Bid Phase Services Kimley-Horn will assist the City during the project’s bidding phase to respond to civil engineering related technical questions limited to the construction documents we prepared. We assume attendance at a pre-bid meeting (online format) is included in this scope. Preparation of addenda and/or revisions to the plans as directed by the City are assumed to be limited in nature and will be provided up to the total hours of effort included in this task. This task assumes bidding assistance to occur over up to two (2) months, and we assume up to a total of 26 hours of effort. If additional bidding support is required, it will be considered an additional service. 22 Task 13: Design Support During Construction and Record Drawings Kimley-Horn team will provide design support during project construction. Our scope includes the following construction support activities that may be performed under this agreement, as directed by the City. Our proposed fee does not include enough budget for Kimley-Horn to perform all the activities summarized below. This list is meant to be a list of services we can provide during construction. Any services required beyond the budget allocated as part of this scope will be considered an additional service and can be performed for additional fee. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. Kimley-Horn will make site visits to observe the progress of the work, as requested by the City. Kimley-Horn will not supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor's work, nor shall Kimley -Horn have authority to stop the Work or have responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, schedules, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety programs incident to Contractor's work, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with any laws. Kimley- Horn does not guarantee the performance of any Contractor and has no responsibility for Contractor's failure to perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Clarifications and Interpretations. Kimley-Horn will respond to reasonable and appropriate Contractor requests for information and issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents. Any orders authorizing variations from the Contract Documents will be made by Client. Shop Drawings and Samples. Kimley-Horn will review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents. Such review and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, sequences, schedules, or procedures of construction or to related safety precautions and programs. Substantial Completion. Kimley-Horn will, promptly after notice from the Contractor that it considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with the City and the Contractor, conduct a site visit to determine if the work of the Contractor is substantially complete. Work will be considered substantially complete following satisfactory completion of all items with the exception of those identified on a final punch list. If after considering any objections of the City, Kimley-Horn considers the work of the Contractor substantially complete, Kimley- Horn will notify the City and Contractor. Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. If requested by the City, Kimley-Horn will conduct a final site visit to determine whether the completed work of the Contractor is generally in accordance with the contract documents and the final punch list so that we may recommend, in writing, final payment to the Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, we will also provide a notice that the work of the Contractor is generally in accordance with the contract documents to the best of Kimley-Horn’s knowledge, information, and belief based on the extent of its services and based upon information provided to Kimley-Horn upon which it is entitled to rely. This task assumes a maximum construction period of 8 months for Design Services During Construction (DSDC). We assume a total of up to 140 hours of effort for this task. Design support during construction beyond the scope described herein will be considered an additional service. Kimley-Horn will prepare record drawings based on the redlines provided by the Contractor. The final plan revisions (PDF format) will be clouded, and PDF files of the construction drawings will be sent to the City for processing and approval. The accuracy of the record drawings will be limited by the accuracy and completeness of the redlines provided to Kimley-Horn.
