Dokken Engineering is not a subsidiary of a
parent company.
City of Carlsbad, Orange County, Tulare County and others where we have
demonstrated our ability to deliver Bridge Preventative Maintenance Projects on schedule and on budget. We have a strong
history of urban projects and understand the needs of the area.
Dokken Engineering (Dokken) is pleased to submit to the City one (1) hard copy and one (1) digital copy of our proposal to
provide Professional Engineering Services for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program. We wish to express our
enthusiasm and commitment to deliver this proposal. Dokken has teamed with Burne Engineering to support engineering
services, Geocon Consultants Inc. for hazardous materials investigations and Unico for surveying and right of way engineering
to deliver a solution that meets the City's needs and complies with Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans Local
Assistance Requirements.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE I We have extensive recent experience completing Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP)
projects similar to the City's proposed improvements. Dokken has been working with the City of Carlsbad on BPMP since
2016, including PS&E for preventative maintenance of the Calle Barcelona Pedestrian Overcrossing, Jefferson Street Bridge,
El Camino Real Bridge among other bridges involving methacrylate deck overlays. We are providing additional engineering
services for Orange County, Tulare County and the City of Palm Desert for bridge maintenance projects that also include
methacrylate overlay and additional bridge preventive maintenance work. Burne Engineering has joined our team to
supplement our experience and expertise having recently completed the PS&E for Calaveras County with similar BPMP
efforts. Our combined experience will be key for the success and delivery of this project.
The key staff and subconsultants proposed for this project have worked on similar recently completed HBP BPMP projects.
Their collective understanding and experience with the Highway Bridge Program and Caltrans Local Assistance will ensure the
project is delivered in full compliance with the program and participating funding is maximized. Their experience working in
urban areas will be an additional asset to provide a more succinct design meeting the needs of the City as well as the motorists
and users within the project area.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT I Gabriel Hoxmeier, PE will lead the project delivery team as the Project Manager. Gabriel has
experience managing design teams for PS&E packages for many cities. He is well versed in coordinating with, State agencies,
Counties and Cities. He has experience ensuring the projects meet the federal and state requirements for local agencies to
meet funding and application requirements. Gabriel provides local agencies with scheduling and project management
services, ensuring the project schedule is maintained, and all submittals are made in full compliance with Caltrans Local
Assistance and the HBP program.
PROJECT APPROACH I The Dokken team has visited and researched the project sites and reviewed the bridge inspection
reports to develop an approach to best deliver this project for the City.
Based on the work recommendations in the BPMP Plan, and in the provided bridge inspection reports, it is anticipated that
work is to be performed both on the bridge deck and underneath, on the substructure. Bridge deck work includes
replacements of asphalt concrete overlays, applications of methacrylate sealant, replacements of joint seals and
miscellaneous concrete repairs. Substructure work includes repair of abutment slopes, installation of slope protection, and
spall repair.
1450 Frazee Road, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92108 • Tel: 858.514.8377 • Fax: 858.514.8608 • www.dokkenengineering.com
Beyond the immediate bridge repairs identified in the BPMP plan, additional efforts are required for project completion
including environmental clearances, regulatory permits, boundary surveys and property easements. Bridge deck work will
require restriping of traffic lanes and staged signing and traffic handling to maintain traffic operations during construction.
Performing work underneath the bridge will utilize encroachments and environmental permits for construction access and
performing work within the channels.
Based on parcel data available, river and creek channels are within either City, Coachella Valley Water District, or private
Right -of -Ways. Easements will be needed (temporary and potentially permanent) for construction access and repairing
abutment slopes. This stresses the importance of communication with all stakeholders and early identification and resolution
of potential issues early to maintain schedule.
We have identified key project issues and solutions from a wholistic approach to ensure we meet the needs and goals of the
City and all other shareholders. A top priority is to ensure we are meeting the federal and state requirements, frequent
communication with all parties, identifying key issues and solutions early, to ensure the project stays on schedule.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS I Bridge Preventative Maintenance may imply routine or basic work; however, we still look for
opportunities to innovate regardless of the scope of work. We believe the importance of brainstorming and evaluating
alternative solutions of how work can be performed to explore innovative concepts to avoid pre -packaged solutions. Some
examples may include:
• Group separate bid packages for bridges based on similar scope and schedule to expedite project completion.
• Specify unconventional construction methods to eliminate major environmental and ROW impacts.
• Allow for detours, or night closures to expedite and simplify construction.
Dokken Engineering's mission is to provide superior service to our clients for all their transportation and related civil
engineering needs. We strive to be responsive and flexible to our clients, which results in projects being delivered on time
and within budget. We appreciate your consideration of our proposal, and we are very excited for this opportunity to work
with the City of La Quinta.
The information and pricing provided in this proposal shall remain valid for a period of not less than 90 days from the date of
submittal.
All Dokken Engineering staff members who will perform work for the City on this contract are free of any conflict of interest.
We acknowledge receipt of Addendum 1, dated September 10, 2025.
Sincerely,
DOKKEN ENGINEERING

The following examples highlight Dokken's ability to provide services similar in size, scope, and complexity to the Bridge
Preventative Maintenance Program Plan project. Together, with the technical specialties of our subconsultants, the Dokken
team assures the City that our proven management and quality services will be provided.
City of Palm Desert Bridge Maintenance I Palm Desert, CA
The City of Palm Desert contracted Dokken to create and implement a City-wide
Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program. As a first task, Dokken reviewed the
Caltrans inventory of City owned bridges and existing maintenance agreements
for each bridge within the City limits to identify any bridges that needed to be
added to the Caltrans inventory and coordinated with Caltrans Structures
Maintenance and Investigations (SM&I) to submit Request for Bridge Name and
Number forms to allow unidentified bridges to be added to the Caltrans
inventory for routine inspection by Caltrans and eligibility for Highway Bridge
Program (HBP) funding.
Dokken reviewed all available Bridge Inspection Reports (BIRIS) provided by
Caltrans and conducted photo documented field investigations of 17 vehicular
and pedestrian bridges to confirm Caltrans Bridge Inspection Report findings,
identify additional maintenance work recommendations not covered by the
inspection reports, and develop preliminary construction cost estimates to
perform the preventive maintenance work for each bridge. Dokken then
collaborated with the City to develop a ranking procedure and prioritization
plan complying with the Caltrans Bridge Preventive Maintenance Guidelines for
Local Agencies and summarized the findings in a Bridge Preventive

Maintenance Program report. A comprehensive Bridge Preventive
Maintenance Plan spreadsheet conforming to the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Guidelines, detailing bridge locations,
applicable sufficiency ratings, work descriptions, and total HBP eligible participating cost share items were developed and
submitted to Caltrans Local Assistance and Headquarters for approval and programming.
Dokken worked closely with the City to develop a strategize a phased approach to implementing bridge preventive
maintenance improvements given the City's budget allocations for maintenance over the next five fiscal years. The first phase
of implementation included the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimate for the preventive maintenance of five
vehicular structures. Work included concrete spall repair, expansion joint removal and replacement, installation of concrete
expansion dams at select locations to prevent asphalt concrete overlays from fouling expansion joints, and the repair of a
corrugated metal pipe arch (CMPA) culvert bank that included partial removal of damaged CMPA sections and splicing on
new SCMPA sections utilizing a metal collar. Construction for the first phase was completed in November 2023. The second
phase of implementation includes the preparation of
,�
Plans, Specifications, and Estimate for the preventive
maintenance of two vehicular structures. Work
includes a methacrylate overlay, existing joint seal
replacement, and side -drain ditch repairs for the
Tierra Del Oro bridge over the South Palm Canyon
Wash, and asphalt concrete removal, methacrylate
overlay, and new asphalt concrete overlay for the
Palm Canyon Drive Bridge over the Rancho Mirage
Channel. Approach roadway on both ends of the

Engineering I Carlsbad, CA
2016-2017 Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program: As part
of a Master Service Agreement contract, Dokken was tasked
with reviewing existing Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports, the
existing Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP) report
and conducting field investigations with accompanying
documentation memorandum for 10 individual vehicular and
pedestrian bridges scheduled for upcoming maintenance within
the City of Carlsbad. Dokken worked closely with the City to
determine immediate priority for bridge repair work and
developed PS&E for the preventive maintenance of the Calle
Barcelona Pedestrian Overcrossing and the Poinsettia Lane
Overhead; spanning over the North County Transit District
(NCTD) owned tracks near the Pacific Coast.
Plans and Specifications were also developed to replace the
original bridge railings as well as repair the sidewalk approach
railings which suffered from severe concrete spalling and
corrosion from improper concrete cover over reinforcement and marine environment exposure. Railroad coordination was
required due to work directly over NCTD tracks.
2018-2019 Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program: The City
- of Carlsbad contacted Dokken Engineering for the PS&E for
` bridge preventative maintenance repairs for two structures.
Jefferson Street Bridge involved providing a methacrylate
overlay to seal existing deck cracks, replacement and repairs to

downstream of the concreted RSP. In lieu
of constructing a series of cut-off walls
buttressed with large RSP over 300ft downstream, the fully grouted concrete rock slope
protection was removed, the creek bottom was restored, and RSP along with hydroseed
was provided along the creek banks to help mitigate the undermining of the abutments
and retaining walls.
55C0606 Oso Parkway: In addition to preventive maintenance needs, joint seal
replacement and clearing and flushing deck drains, significant abutment slope
embankment erosion was repaired and water dripping from a bridge cell was
investigated. With the help of a manlift operator and a Confined Space Entry team,
Dokken inspected the bridge cell. The inspection revealed the water source was flowing
from the detached electrical conduits, with water entering the conduits from beyond the
bridge abutment. Maintenance repairs are ongoing.
55CO122 and 55CO123 Brea Canyon: The existing open window barrier is experiencing
concrete spalling and decay. Since these bridges are scheduled for replacement, in lieu
of total barrier replacement, nested double thrie beam was mounted to the face of the
barrier. This approach yielded significant cost savings and avoided environmental
historical review of the barrier.
55CO631 Harbor Boulevard: A fire in front of the abutment caused precast girders to
spall. Dokken inspected and categorized the spall locations and developed PS&E for the
repair.
55CO017 Lincoln Avenue and 55CO097 Talbert -MacArthur: Approach sidewalks at both
bridges had significant spalls and settlement due to bridge thermal expansion. Repairs
included reconstructing the sidewalk to repair damage and meet ADA.
55CO572 Irvine Avenue: The top slab of this culvert/bridge has significant cracks and
efflorescence is leaching onto the soffit. Repairs include epoxy crack injection into the
soffit and wall crack.

Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program Plan
City Project No. 2023-33
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
PROJECT APPROACH
The City of La Quinta (City) is seeking Professional Engineering Design Services for five (5) bridges throughout the City. The
Caltrans Local Assistance Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP) established under the Highway Bridge Program
(HBP) serves to extend the life of local agency bridges and delay the need for full rehabilitation or replacement by performing
certain qualifying preventative maintenance work.
The City has selected five bridges to develop Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) based on recommendations provided
through regular Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reporting and Information System (BIRIS). The City has provided a BPMP Work
Plan to include anticipated bridge work. The work identified includes maintenance and repair activities including work such
as application of methacrylate, cleaning and replacing expansion joints, replacing AC overlays, spall repairs, and abutment
slope protection.
The project is federally funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
through the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and administered by Caltrans Local
Assistance. Funding authorization has been obtained for Preliminary
Engineering (PE) phase. As such, the project must meet the guidelines and
requirements of the HBP.
We will review and verify the applicability of the maintenance activities listed
on the provided BPMP Work Plan and most recent inspection reports. We will
perform a field review and identify all other maintenance work to conform with
Caltrans inspection criteria. Any additional work identified will be categorized
whether it qualifies or not to be included in the BPMP.
If the City wishes to pursue adding these additional recommendations to the scope, we have extensive and recent experience
supporting agencies in submitting the Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG) Forms 6A and 6D to request the anticipated
funding to accommodate the additional work.
The Dokken Team has reviewed the documents provided in the RFP, requested scope of work, and bridge inspection reports
to gain a full understanding of the project and identify key constraints of the design. The following table summarizes the key
project issues and describes the benefit the Dokken Team will bring to the City, which is further discussed on the following
pages.

The provided Bridge
Inspection Reports are
outdated with report dates
ranging from 2009 to 2018.
Additional damage or
distress may have occurred

provided.
State and Federal Procedures
Knowledge of the Federal
Aid process.
The Dokken team proposes to perform a
photo documented assessment of each of the
City's identified bridge sites during the Field
Review task to evaluate existing conditions
and inform the City on whether additional
recommendations are warranted. Additional
HBP eligible work items can be programmed
through Local Assistance Program Guidelines
(LAPG) forms 6A (scope definition) and 6D
(scope/cost/schedule change) to receive
Federal Reimbursement.
Following State and Federal guidelines is key
to receive funding through the available
State and Federal programs. The
development of PS&E must follow standard
Caltrans, HBP and FHWA requirements,
which include obtaining E-76 approvals, and
compliance with NEPA and full compliance
with Chapter 11 of the Local Assistance
Program Guidelines.
The Dokken team has extensive
experience with Bridge Preventive
Maintenance work and is prepared to
incorporate any additional work items
that may be warranted. Dokken
Engineering is well versed in getting
additional scope of work items
programmed for Federal funding and has
experience preparing LAPG forms 6A and
6D for our local agency clients to submit

Identify work limits and environmental
impacts early. Organized tracking of both
project wide and bridge specific permits.
Dokken has long history of working
closely with cities and design teams for
early identification of environmental
impacts and obtaining environmental
clearances without project delays.
The successful approach to this project will be to provide plans that define the overall work and at the same time, highlight
the unique details of each site clearly. The plans will also allow the contractor to streamline their means and methods of
construction. We anticipate providing individual General Plan sheets defining all work to be performed, coupled with focused
details where applicable, particularly for joint seal replacements, spall repair work and work on bridge railings and
substructural components. We will clearly identify all information regarding the above -grade, at -grade and below -grade
modifications, all exposed and underground utilities, manholes, gate valve boxes and survey monuments.
We are very familiar with appropriate joint seal
cleaning procedures and repair materials. In addition,
we have developed relationships with industry
representatives that will assist with unusual conditions
such as coring and testing bridge decks. Construction
cost estimating for these types of projects can be
particularly difficult due to the small scale of required
work. Our depth of experience on bridge preventive
maintenance projects will assist the City with
accurately estimating and budgeting costs for these
projects.
The BPMP work plan has identified two bridges to perform deck coring to test for chloride content. Coring and destructive
testing should be limited only for bridges that would benefit and alter their maintenance activities based on the results. The
bridge decks will be assessed to verify whether it is warranted to determine a proper rehabilitation plan. Coring decks in good
condition preemptively would be an unnecessary cost, as well as result in unnecessary patches and traffic impacts. Deck cores
would be tested (per ASTM C1152) for chloride concentrations at different depths within the concrete. If the chloride
concentration exceeds the threshold at the depth of the reinforcement, sealing the deck won't prevent future corrosion and
a more extensive deck rehabilitation may be needed.
STAGE CONSTRUCTION
Due to large traffic volumes, providing access during construction is of high importance providing safe work zones to protect
construction crews and maintaining vehicular traffic and driveway access to nearby businesses must be planned to minimize
disruptions. The bridges include a variety of multi -lane roadways, ranging from four to seven lanes. For the five locations
identified, the existing bridge width varies from 96-feet to 136-feet, including sidewalks and medians. Bridges immediately
adjacent to intersections will require unique construction/temporary signing and signaling. Signs will be placed ahead of the
work to alert motorists per the most recent version of the California MUTCD. Full closure alternatives may be evaluated by
using either detours or limited night work.
It is assumed that the contractor will be responsible for traffic control. While Dokken has extensive experience developing
traffic control and staging plans, the anticipated work has shorter construction durations than larger improvement projects
and can be facilitated through typical application of traffic control standards. By providing their own traffic control plans, the
contractor has flexibility to adapt to their desired means and methods.

RIGHT OF WAY
One bridge (BR# 56C-0266) will require right of way through a temporary construction easement for the access underneath
the bridge. Identifying and solidifying the right of way needs for a project early in the design process is essential to ensuring
the timely completion of coordination efforts and deliverables. Our team has the experience needed to quickly identify
proposed right of way and easement requirements for temporary construction easements. We will work with City staff to
ensure that easement areas are minimized while construction accessibility and staging needs are properly accounted for.
Early communication with the private property owners will create a rapport and allow us to alleviate concerns of impacts to
their properties to facilitate smooth agreements establishing the temporary construction easements needed for the project.
STATE AND FEDERAL PROCEDURES
The City plans to utilize BPMP funds obligated through the Highway Bridge Program (HBP). Following State and Federal
guidelines is key to keep federal funding intact. To not jeopardize reimbursement and eligibility, it is critical that the project
delivery strictly adheres to the requirements and timelines presented in Chapter 11 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Program
Guidelines. Therefore, the development of plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate (PS&E) must follow standard
Caltrans (State) and FHWA requirements which include obtaining E-76 approvals, and compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and full compliance with Chapter 6 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
Every Dokken Engineering project requires coordination and compliance with State and/or Federal regulations. Dokken's
team of experts have extensive experience working with Caltrans, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal and State
Resource Agencies and have a thorough understanding of regulatory processes and standards. Our team understands the
Caltrans and FHWA project development process and has obtained invaluable insight into the local agency side of project
funding, programming, authorization paperwork, and Federal regulations that apply to local agency project delivery with
Caltrans local assistance oversight. We will use these skills and knowledge (from the delivery of over 3,000 projects) to ensure
projects are successfully delivered and compliant with oversight agency requirements.
Because the City is using federal funds for this project, the process to obtain project approval for funding and developing the
PS&E package must follow standard Caltrans and FHWA requirements, which include compliance with NEPA/CEQA and
authorizations at major milestones. LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS
The flow chart to the right identifies the Caltrans Local Assistance process and
demonstrates our understanding of the paperwork required. Since our team
has a proven track record of project delivery, we know this process, not only
when exhibits need to be submitted but also when FHWA holds all additional
funding requests to close out their fiscal year.
Depending on our client's needs, we are available to assist with preparing the
Request for Authorization (RFA) packages at all major milestones as well as
project development forms (PES, Field Review, Project Change) and project
delivery forms (utility coordination and right of way certification).
In addition, Dokken's environmental staff has extensive experience with
NEPA/CEQA policies and procedures. We have a close relationship with
Caltrans environmental staff, and we will assist the City with all needed
Caltrans paperwork. We will work closely with our design team to ensure
projects do not have any unmitigable environmental impacts. We are prepared
to address project impacts by including reasonable avoidance and
minimization solutions early in the project design phase.
Lessons Learned
Through our 39 years of experience, our team has gained knowledge from
several valuable lessons learned, which has helped us succeed in delivering our
clients' projects with Federal funds.
• Have Right of Way Request for Authorization (RFA) reviewed by the
District before the NEPA Environmental Document is signed. This
streamlines the approval process whereby we meet with the District
RPDOKKEN PAGE13

i_,�^Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program Plan ,` (,�(kv
City Project No. 2023-33—(:EMofh,DE5ERT—
near the end of the environmental process to ensure they understand the project and its right of way needs.
• Have Construction RFA reviewed by District before PS&E and right of way certifications are submitted. This step
includes meeting with the District near the end of the design phase to ensure the District understands the project
prior to obtaining their approval on the Construction RFA.
• Prepare all utility paperwork in Caltrans format and meet early in the project with the Caltrans District Local
Assistance utility coordinator.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Dokken's in-house environmental team obtains environmental approval for multiple bridge projects per year, such as the
National Trails Highway 10 Bridge Replacement Project in San Bernardino County and has extensive experience working with
Caltrans Local Assistance. Our relationship with Caltrans environmental staff ensures the NEPA environmental process will
be driven by the City's schedule. Based on preliminary research, there are limited environmental constraints. The project will
utilize both local and federal funding; therefore, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be required. The lead agency under NEPA is Caltrans and the lead agency
under CEQA is the City. Impacts to biological and cultural resources are not anticipated. The repair work contemplated for
this project qualifies to utilize a CEQA Categorical Exemption for existing facilities. For NEPA, the Project is clearly classified
as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) under 23CFR 771.117 (d)(3) as bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement.
Biological Resources
Based on preliminary review, Dokken biologists determined that the proposed work does not have the potential to impact
any threatened or endangered species or their habitat. Caltrans will likely require the preparation of a Natural Environment
Study (Minimal Impacts) that would include standard avoidance, and minimization measures applicable to the proposed
work. Cliff swallow nests were observed under the Washington Street bridge over the Whitewater River.
Cultural Resources
The proposed bank protection work at the Washington Street Bridge does not fall within one of the Screened Undertaking
categories, resulting in a need to complete Section 106 compliance for the Project. Dokken archaeologists have extensive
experience working with Caltrans District 8 staff to complete the cultural resources process.
Permits
Dokken has extensive experience obtaining the permits needed to install the Washington Street bridge north abutment bank
protection. The concrete slope protection at the north abutment will require permits from the Corps of Engineers, Regional
Water Quality Control Board, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Our project management approach is to be an extension of City staff and provide the City an experienced team. Our team
will provide the resources and tools necessary to deliver this project with minimal oversight. Gabriel Hoxmeier will be the
Project Manager for this project. As Project Manager, Gabriel will be responsible for communicating with the City and
providing progress updates, schedule and budget control, facilitating meetings with the City and stakeholders, coordinating
quality control activities, managing subconsultants, coordinating right of way acquisitions, and ensuring delivery of all project
products culminating with a PS&E that is biddable and buildable.
Dokken's project management philosophy is to treat every client as if they are our only client. We are immediately available
by phone and e-mail. For us, project management means contract compliance, accurate file systems, budgets and schedules,
and assembling the appropriate team to do the job right. It means monitoring subconsultant work, progress reporting, and
assisting our clients with the hundreds of details involved with project delivery. Our project management approach includes:
• "No Surprises" Communication with our Clients: Dokken maintains constant communication with our clients.
Emerging issues are brought to our clients, along with proposed solutions.
• Clear, Concise, and Complete Reporting: Dokken's monthly progress reports include accomplished tasks, upcoming
tasks, pending issues, and scheduled completion target dates. We coordinate and facilitate regular progress and
team meetings and prepare all exhibits and handouts.
• Project Schedule Monitoring: Each of Dokken's projects is guided by a project baseline schedule, clearly indicating
milestones, major activities, and deliverables at a level of detail appropriate to the project. The schedule drives the
project, not the reverse.

that all team members understand. We host weekly internal team conference calls to track progress and keep everyone
current on project status and recent decisions that affect their awareness and productivity.
External: Our number one goal when working with our clients is successful project delivery. We identify risks early in the
process and develop ways to mitigate these risks. We work closely with our clients to keep them informed on the status of
their project and any pending decisions, and we are extremely responsive to their needs.
Dokken will also serve as an extension of staff on this contract and as requested can act as the principal point of contact for
the City with stakeholders, resource agencies, and utility providers. Gabriel will ensure that the delivery schedule is being
managed and that the City is controlling the project schedule and not the agencies. Gabriel will keep the City informed of
communications with the outside agencies and elevate key decisions to City staff as required.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
Dokken and our team members are committed to the City to deliver project documents whose quality exceeds the standards
in the industry. For our team, quality is not just a priority, it is a core value. The QA/QC procedures will be prepared and
implemented in accordance with our scope of work and will be consistent with our company principles. The procedure will
incorporate the approach of continuous review of products as they are developed and as a series of formal review procedures
enacted at preparation of major deliverables. The policies and procedures will provide documentation that deliverables meet
all requirements of the scope of work. The review of deliverables needed to satisfy the QA/QC procedure is built into our
proposed schedule. The following flow chart outlines our QA/QC procedures:

COST CONTROL AND BUDGETING METHODOLOGY
To manage the three interdependent elements found in every project —
scope, schedule, and budget— it is necessary to implement a sustainable
project control methodology. Gabriel, our Project Manager, will develop
and implement the project controls plan. The plan outlines the
procedures for conducting work, managing project resources, and
reporting project status and progress. The project management tools
identified on the right assures on time and within budget project
deliverables. These tools will enable Gabriel to provide a systematic
approach to deliver any project. All project participants, including the
City and Dokken team, will be aware of the project status in order to
make informed management decisions. Our tools and system are
designed to respond to these requirements.
Dokken prepares and maintains project schedules for every project. The
schedules are monitored, and staffing adjusted to meet milestones.
Performance is monitored through quality control checks, review of
actual versus planned progress, completion of action items prepared
after meetings, monthly invoicing, and progress reporting. Dokken will
use the City standards and formats, making invoice review streamlined
and familiar to the City. For our team, quality is not just a priority, it is a
core value.
Dokken has found that the best way to control budget is to ensure the project schedule is followed. This method avoids costly
over -runs and extended production times. The key to preserving budgets is to start on time, get it right, and submit the
deliverable on time. Utilizing the same design working group from the beginning of the project to the end ensures consistent
thought and engineering practice, while eliminating wasteful hours spent "getting familiar" with a project.
The MS Project Schedule will be supplemented with a deliverables schedule that identifies all project deliverables and
submittal dates. The deliverables schedule is a critical project management tool because it specifies what is being delivered
to the client and when it is to be submitted. The deliverables schedule will be updated monthly and submitted as part of the
monthly invoice to report on the status of completed, in -progress, and upcoming deliverables. The combination of the budget
and schedule showing task durations and sequencing will enable us to produce a time -phased budget. With a time -phased
budget and a work -based method of measuring progress, a reliable comparison on planned versus actual can be made.

TASK 5.2.1 Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
Dokken Engineering will perform an Initial Site Assessment (ISA) will be to determine the potential presence of environmental
concerns and contaminated properties at the sites that may impact maintenance at each location.
The primary purpose of the ISA is to assess the sites for the potential presence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs)
(i.e., levels of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products warranting regulatory cleanup action) and the uses and
conditions at properties and facilities in the site vicinities with the potential to cause (or have caused) an REC at the sites. For
the purposes of this ISA, the "vicinity' of the sites is defined as properties/facilities within 1 8 mile of the sites. The ISA will
be performed in general accordance with the ASTM International (ASTM) Designation E 1527-21 Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. Potential environmental concerns and
contaminated properties that are determined to potentially pose a significant impact to the planned improvements would
be further evaluated during a subsequent (Phase II) Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI).
As part of the Phase I ISA, Dokken will perform the following services including:
• Perform a reconnaissance of the sites to assess for the presence, or make visual observations of indicators of the potential
presence, of RECs on the sites. These indicators may include 55-gallon drums, underground and aboveground storage
tanks, chemical containers, waste storage and disposal areas, industrial facilities, discolored surficial soils, electrical
transformers that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls, and areas conspicuously absent of vegetation. If access is
unavailable to any portions of the sites, our ability to complete the assessment described herein may be hindered.
Assessment of the sites for wetlands, asbestos -containing building materials, lead -containing paint, lead in drinking
water, radon, methane gas, and naturally occurring substances such as arsenic and asbestos are not included in the ISA
services.
• Perform a visual survey of adjoining and adjacent properties from the sites and from public thoroughfares to observe
general types of land use and conditions surrounding the sites.
• Review the Standard Environmental Records Sources: Federal and State as referenced in ASTM Designation E 1527-21 to
obtain information regarding the potential presence of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products on the sites or
on properties within the approximate minimum search distance specified for each source, reviewing reasonably
ascertainable regulatory agency files for the sites and documented hazardous substance and/or petroleum product
release locations near the sites. The sources for these files could include the local department of environmental health,
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
• Review pertinent and reasonably ascertainable information sources to evaluate physiographic, geologic, and
hydrogeologic conditions in the vicinity of the sites.
• Review and interpret reasonably ascertainable historical aerial photographs to obtain information concerning the
historical use of the sites and adjacent properties.
• Review historical United States Geological Survey topographic maps to obtain information relative to the topography of
the sites, as well as previous development and uses of the sites and properties located in the vicinity of the sites.
• Review documents provided by the Client. Potentially useful documents may include geotechnical, geologic, and
environmental reports, site plans, plot plans, and correspondence with regulatory agencies.
• Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the ISA for the sites and qualitatively describing existing, or the potential
for, RECs on the sites.
TASK 5.2.2 Phase II Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) Report (OPTIONAL)
Should the results of the Phase I ISA determine that additional testing is necessary, Dokken Engineering's sub consultant,
Geocon, will perform a Phase 11 testing and Site Investigation Report (PSI). The purpose of the Phase 11 PSI is to preliminarily
characterize hazardous materials that may be encountered during construction. The findings will be used to evaluate material
disposal options and worker health and safety. The specific scope of the Phase 11 PSI should be determined after completion
of the Phase I ISA and after the 30% design submittal is complete. The PSI will focus on the following two primary potential
issues: Asbestos -Containing Materials (ACM) and Lead -Containing Paint (LCP) on the bridges. Geocon will prepare a project -
specific Health & Safety Plan and Preliminary Site Investigation Workplan for Client and Caltrans concurrence prior to
fieldwork. Dokken anticipates that traffic control will be necessary to safely perform the field sampling.
Asbestos -Containing Materials (ACM)/Lead-Containing Paint (LCP) Survey
Geocon will provide services including:
• Conduct asbestos and LCP surveys of the eight bridge structures;
RPDOKKEN PAGE19
ENGINEERING
Request for Proposals
Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program Plan
City Project No. 2023-33
• Collect up to 160 bulk material samples for asbestos analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM);
• Additionally analyze up to 24 of the bulk asbestos samples by PLM point count methodology (1,000 points);
• Collect up to 32 samples of paint for lead analysis by USEPA Test Method 601013;
• Analyze up to 20 of the paint samples for soluble lead using the WET and 20 of the paint samples for soluble lead using
the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure test; and
• Prepare an asbestos and LCP survey report.
During the asbestos and LCP survey, our staff will:
• Conduct a walkthrough inspection of the bridge structures to identify and inventory suspect ACM and potential LCP.
• Collect representative bulk samples of suspect ACM and submit using chain -of -custody (COC) documentation to a
laboratory accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Plan for the analysis of asbestos in bulk
material samples.
• Analyze suspect ACM samples collected during the surveys on a 5-day turnaround time using PLM according to the EPA -
recommended method.
• Collect bulk samples of potential LCP using techniques presented in United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) guidelines. In addition, each painted area sampled will be evaluated for evidence of deterioration
such as flaking or cracking.
• Submit paint samples to a California -licensed and California State Water Resources Control Board -accredited laboratory
for lead analyses in accordance with USEPA Test Method 6010B under COC documentation on a 5-day turnaround time.
• Prepare one electronic version of a final asbestos and LCP survey report that will include a general property description,
sample/laboratory analytical results, ACM and deteriorated LCP quantities, types, condition, and locations, photographs
of identified ACM and LCP, and inspector/laboratory certification data. A bridge structure drawing illustrating sample
locations will also be included in the report. The drawing will be proportional, but not to -scale.
A reasonable effort will be made to identify suspect ACMs and LCPs. However, this does not imply a guarantee that all
possible sources will be identified as certain materials may be hidden by structural materials or may be otherwise
inaccessible. During future renovation or demolition operations, suspect ACMs and potential LCP may be uncovered.
These materials should be treated as ACM and LCP, respectively, until evaluation, sampling, and analysis indicate
otherwise.
Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL) Survey
The scope of services for the ADL Survey is presented as follows:
• Advance eight soil borings along the roadway shoulders at bridge location 56CO266 (Washington Street at the
Whitewater River) using hand auger sampling equipment. We will collect soil samples at depth intervals of 0 to 1 and
1 to 2 feet from each boring. We will collect soil samples from the hand auger and transfer to Ziploc® re -sealable plastic
bags. We will homogenize the samples in the field, subsequently label them, place them in an ice chest, and deliver
them to the analytical laboratory under standard chain -of -custody documentation. We will backfill the borings with the
excavated soil materials. We will note general soil types encountered in the borings on the daily field log.
• Perform quality assurance/quality control procedures during the field exploration activities. These procedures will
include decontamination of sampling equipment before each sample is collected and providing chain -of -custody
documentation for each soil sample submitted to the laboratory. We will decontaminate the soil sampling equipment
between each sample by washing the equipment with an Alconox° solution followed by a double rinse with deionized
water. We will discharge the rinseate water to ground surface areas which do not slope to drainage inlets or surface
water bodies.
• Analyze each soil sample for total lead following United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Test Method
6010E (16 samples).
• Analyze samples with total lead concentrations between 50 and 1,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for soluble lead
using the Waste Extraction Test (WET) method, USEPA Test Method 7000, where necessary (assume up to six samples).
• Analyze soil samples with total lead concentrations greater than 1,000 mg/kg for Toxic Characteristic Leaching
Procedure (TCLP) for soluble lead, where necessary (assume up to two samples).
• Prepare a report to present our findings and conclusions. The report will include the following:

Task 5.3 Natural Environmental Study (Minimal Impacts)
A Dokken biologist will conduct fieldwork in order to assess the presence/absence of sensitive biological resources (e.g.,
species or habitats), or to determine the potential for occurrence of such resources. A literature search will be conducted.
The location of any sensitive biological resources in the study area, including plants and plant communities, will be mapped.
Surveys will be timed for the appropriate season, e.g. plant surveys during the blooming season. Transportation projects are
covered activities under the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
A Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) (NES(MI)) in the current Caltrans format will be prepared. The field methods
will be described along with the field survey and literature search results. Plant and animal species observed will be listed,
along with a general description of vegetative communities. Sensitive resources found will be mapped and evaluated in the
NES(MI). The report will contain tables describing sensitive species and their habitats that are present or potentially present;
it will identify and assess project impacts on the existing biological resources, including any sensitive species. Mitigation
measures will be included as necessary.
Task 5.3 Deliverables: Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts)
Task 5.4 Cultural Resources/Section 106 Compliance
The proposed work at four of the five bridges involves deck overlays that qualify as a "Screened Undertaking" per the Caltrans
Section 106 of the National Historic Protection Act (NHPA Section 106) Programmatic Agreement, which exempts the work
from Section 106 analysis. The extension of concrete lining along the northern embankment of the Whitewater River
proposed as part of the Washington Street Bridge Rehabilitation does not fall within one of the Screened Undertaking
categories, resulting in a need to complete Section 106 compliance for the Project. Dokken Engineering archaeologists, who
meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards in Archaeology and are equivalent to Caltrans
Professionally Qualified Staff Principal Investigators, will conduct cultural resource identification efforts following the Caltrans
SER guidelines. This process includes the following:
• Obtain a records search from the California Historical Resources Information System
• Request the Native American Heritage Commission review the Sacred Lands File
• Consult with Native American Tribes and historical organizations
• Define an Area of Potential Effects
• Conduct an archaeological survey of the Project area
The findings will be documented in Caltrans formatted Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) and an Archaeological Survey
Report (ASR). This scope includes one round of review for the HPSR/ASR based on City comments and two rounds of review
for the HPSR/ASR based on Caltrans comments, prior to final approval by both agencies.
This scope assumes that no cultural resources require recordation or evaluation as the bridges have previously been
evaluated as not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and as the construction footprint includes very steep
slopes that have been significantly altered from their original disposition.
Although the project may qualify for a CEQA exemption which does not require CEQA Native American consultation, should
the City request it, Dokken can assist with the preparation of Project Notification Letters, per California Public Resources Code
(PRC) §21080.3.1 (also referred to as AB 52). Dokken can assist the City with subsequent Native American consultation
meetings, requests, and recommendations conducted under both Section 106 of the NHPA and PRC §21080.3.1 (AB 52).

will address construction drawings, technical specifications, cost estimates, and overall constructability of the project.
Signing and Striping
Dokken will design permanent striping, pavement markings, and signing plans per the California MUTCD latest edition. Signing
and Striping plans will be prepared at each bridge location receiving methacrylate deck treatment or asphalt concrete (AC)
overlay replacements to maintain the existing striping configuration.
Traffic Handling
Dokken anticipates that the programmed bridge maintenance work will occur in stages at each bridge to maintain at least
one lane of traffic in each direction during construction. It is assumed that the contactor will be responsible for traffic control
plans for each of the bridges. This allows the contractor more flexibility to accommodate their means and methods. Typical
Traffic Control Applications from latest CA MUTCD, Caltrans Standard Plans or any local City guidelines will be utilized for the
various closure scenarios anticipated. Since Highway 111 was relinquished by Caltrans and is owned and operated by the
City of La Qunita, Caltrans encroachment permits are not expected.

describes the review process and sets forth the reasoning behind the review. An appraisal review is recommended to ensure
that the appraisal is based on sound appraisal theory, contains appropriate documentation to support the appraisers'
conclusions and complies with regulatory codes. A recommendation of just compensation is then made based on the
reviewed, collected, assembled, correlated, and analyzed data.
Task 8.6 Deliverables: One (1) Appraisal Review Report
Task 8.7 Summary Statement
Dokken will complete a Summary Statement Relating to the Purchase of Real Property or an Interest Therein (Caltrans Exhibit

DISCLOSURES
Dokken does not have any pending bankruptcies, liens, stop payment notices, judgments, or foreclosures filed in the past five
years. Below is a list of litigation, dispute resolutions, or other formal proceedings that occurred in the last five years in which
Dokken was involved in some way. No client has terminated a contract with Dokken for breach of contract, nor has Dokken
ever filed a claim against a public agency.
• Papich Construction Co., Inc. v. City of Dinuba
Project: Avenue 416/EI Monte Way Widening
Dokken provided engineering and right of way acquisition services to the City from 2009 through the end of
construction in 2017. At the end of construction, the City was sued by Papich, the construction contractor, for delay
damages. The City tendered the defense to Dokken, citing a duty to defend clause. Dokken denied the tender, citing
contract language that did not require an upfront duty to defend when the negligence of others caused the
underlying delay damages. The City settled with Papich in 2018 for $3.81VI and then sued Dokken and the
construction management firm for breach of contract for not accepting the tender of defense. Dokken maintained
it had justification for denying the tender as it did not cause delays. The court approved settlement in 2021, with the
construction management firm paying 85% of the settlement and Dokken paying the remainder.
• San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) v. Avar Construction, Inc., et al
Project: SR-163/Friars Road Interchange
Dokken Engineering provided engineering design and environmental services for traffic and safety improvements in
the area surrounding SR-163 and Friars Road in San Diego, CA. During construction in 2018, Avar Construction, a
drilling sub -contractor, struck a 20-inch high-pressure gas line owned by SDG&E. In 2021 SDG&E filed a claim against
Avar and others alleging damages of approximately $1.1m. Avar subsequently filed a cross -complaint against all the
parties involved, including Dokken Engineering. The claim settled in mediation in 2022 and Dokken Engineering
contributed 5% of the settlement amount. 85% of the settlement was paid jointly by the general contractor and
drilling sub -contractor, as it was their responsibility to positively locate the gas line during construction.
• RNR Construction v. Dokken Engineering
Project: NVIDIA Phase 2 — STE Bridge
Dokken Engineering provided engineering design services as a sub -contractor to RNR Construction for a pedestrian
bridge in Santa Clara County. In 2022, RNR Construction made numerous allegations against Dokken Engineering
regarding the engineering services provided. Dokken Engineering denied the allegations and the matter was settled
in early 2024 in mediation.
