City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study RFP NO. 25-029 | Appendix A: Key Staff Resumes & Support Staff Qualifications OCTA, BRAVO BRT Systems Project, Orange County, CA Project Manager. Doug was responsible for the oversight of the design and implementation of BRT ITS and Bus Signal Priority components for the initial 28 miles of this BRT project. OCTA, Central County Corridor MIS, Orange County, CA Project Manager. Doug managed the completion of an MIS for the central Orange County corridor study area that included consideration of a major freeway extension along the Santa Ana River. He successfully navigated the Phase I effort to completion, with the development of purpose and need statement and mobility problem and the development of five multimodal alternatives, ranging from low cost, low impact to higher cost, higher impact improvements, while achieving consensus among local agency stakeholders. City of Costa Mesa, Baker Street-Placentia Avenue-Victoria Street- 19th Street Regional TSSP, Costa Mesa, CA Deputy Project Manager and QC Manager. Doug is leading signal timing and system improvements and overseeing ITS design for the systems. The City of Costa Mesa is using Measure M2 funding to develop traffic signal infrastructure and coordination improvements that will synchronize the traffic signals along three continuous/ contiguous corridors: Baker Street/Placentia Avenue, Victoria Street, and West 19th Street. A total of 41 signals exist over 10.2 miles within the city (39 owned by the city and two owned by Caltrans). HDR’s scope of work includes developing inter-jurisdictional signal and synchronization plans, supporting the installation of updated traffic signal hardware modifications to run timing plans more efficiently, and providing operation and maintenance signal timing support beyond construction. LA Metro, Bus Network Restructuring Study Bus Speed Improvement Evaluation, Los Angeles, CA Traffic Analysis and Evaluation Task Leader. Doug was the Traffic Analysis and Evaluation Task Leader for HDR’s work on evaluating a dozen bus routes and identifying improvements to provide more efficient service. HDR was responsible for analysis of the impacts of traffic congestion on bus speeds on 12 selected corridors across Los Angeles County. The analysis included field work, documentation of bus and pedestrian movements, traffic signal operation, as well as observation on the efficiency of the TSP network where applicable. Upon conclusion of the field evaluation, HDR, working with LADOT, identified a toolbox of “low-hanging fruit” solutions that required little capital investment or major permitting and agency approval. Methodology development, evaluation and recommendation of additional corridor improvements (such as TSP), exclusive bus lanes, queue jumps, curb extensions, and bus stop relocations were included as part of this effort. The resulting report was a supplement to the overall restructuring study prepared by Metro. LACDPW, Norwalk Boulevard Traffic Design Services, Norwalk, CA Task Order Manager. Doug was responsible for preparing the staging, detours, traffic control plans, and an extensive TMP for this reconstruction project, including permitting approvals with Caltrans and the City of Norwalk. LACDPW is proposing a 2-mile-long pavement preservation and road improvement project on Norwalk Boulevard and Slauson Avenue. LACDPW, Traffic Design Services at Broadway/Normandie/ Rosecrans, Los Angeles County, CA Task Order Manager. Under Doug’s management, HDR provided traffic signal design services for five traffic signals: Broadway at El Segundo Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue, Normandie Avenue at 104th Street and 228th Street, and Rosecrans Avenue at Atlantic Avenue. The project scope included pavement resurfacing and reconstruction, parkway and median island improvements, safety improvements, and sidewalk/curb ramp improvements. The project received funding in Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 9 for intersection and traffic signal upgrades. City of Irvine, Culver Drive Traffic Signal System and Communications Design Project, Irvine, CA Project Manager. Doug was responsible for the development of traffic signal systems upgrades at 20 intersections in Irvine. Additional responsibilities included serving as Project Manager for the Irvine Traffic Management Systems Operations Study, which included concept design of TMS elements; assisting in the preparation of a concept design report; and preparing a PS&E of CMS locations and Signal Coordination Policies and Practices Report. City of Pasadena, On-Call Traffic Engineering Services - Various Task Orders, Pasadena, CA Contract Manager. Doug was responsible for traffic impact analysis of existing and future conditions at a wide variety of locations, including mixed-use developments, residential infill, a college, and retail establishments. Analyses and reports covering traffic, parking, transit, and bicycle/pedestrian impacts, including recommended improvements to mitigate these impacts. Doug also completed several local street traffic calming design projects that included speed humps, removal of signals, and small roundabout designs. Value to City of Santa Ana With 45 years of experience managing traffic engineering and operations projects in California, Doug has gained extensive expertise in developing alternatives and enhancing safety on complex multimodal projects. Highly familiar with the City of Santa Ana and its mobility needs, Doug will focus on balancing impacts and finding innovative solutions to traffic challenges. DOUG SMITH, PE, RSP1 (Continued) A-10
