DISCUSSION
Approval of this item will allow the City to retain professional services with the engineering firm
Tetra Tech, Inc. to prepare a complete construction package, including Civil Engineering,
Channelization, and Traffic Signal plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), as necessary for
the implementation of the First Street Pedestrian Improvements Project. The project will
encompass the design and construction of pedestrian safety improvements, including sidewalk
widening, protected pedestrian crossings, and Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades. This
project is designed to increase pedestrian safety and mobility along the corridor.
On October 11, 2019, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals No. 19-110 on the
City's online procurement portal, PlanetBids, soliciting proposals from qualified firms for the First
Street Pedestrian Improvements PS&E package. Five proposals were received on November 12,
2020. All proposals were deemed responsive and were subsequently evaluated and ranked by a
review committee composed of personnel from the Public Works Agency Design and Traffic
Engineering staff. Ranking criteria included firm and team experience, understanding of need,
relevant project experience, schedule, and references. The ranking of the firms is as follows:

condition: "Consultant shall maintain an inventory of all nonexpendable property.
Nonexpendable property is defined as having a useful life of at least two years and

replacement and is sold or traded in, City shall receive a proper refund or credit at
the conclusion of the Agreement, or if the Agreement is terminated, Consultant may
either keep the equipment and credit City in an amount equal to its fair market
value, or sell such equipment at the best price obtainable at a public or private sale,
in accordance with established City procedures and credit City in an amount equal
to the sales price. If Consultant elects to keep the equipment, fair market value
shall be determined at Consultant's expense, on the basis of a competent
independent appraisal of such equipment. Appraisals shall be obtained from an
appraiser mutually agreeable to by City and Consultant. If it is determined to sell

be paid to Consultant upon demand.

Reference: RFP No.: 19-110, First Street Pedestrian Improvements PS&E
Dear Mr. Sean Thomas:
Tetra Tech is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering design and construction support
services for the First Street Pedestrian Improvements Project. The Tetra Tech team is experienced in designing similar
active transportation projects with a pedestrian emphasis for Southern California cities, including the City of Santa
Ana's (City) Lincoln Avenue Pedestrian Pathway Connectivity Project. Tetra Tech understands identifying critical
constraints at the onset of the commencement of the project will be crucial to verifying the site's feasibility and
constructability in order to implement the project in alignment with the City's project goals and schedule. To that end,
our approach focuses on the following:
Understanding Local Needs: Our team discipline leaders are familiar with the local community along the impacted
portions of First Street. The Tetra Tech team has already visited the site, photo documented the corridor, and
evaluated opportunities and constraints within the corridor.
Efficient Delivery: With the final PS&E deadline set for April 2020, a streamlined project delivery will be required.
The Tetra Tech team can best serve the City on this Project due to our ability to provide most of the key disciplines and
services in-house, including the survey, civil, landscape architecture, utilities, and storm water scope of work. This will
allow the PS&E production to begin while some of the pre -design tasks such as the survey are being completed, while
also providing an efficient and well -coordinated set of construction documents.
Compliance with Multiple Funding Sources: Our team is well versed in the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure
Manual (LAPM) requirements and other Local Assistance Guidelines and Operating Procedures. Our project
management team has the level of diligence and the wherewithal required to effectively administerthis project from
the early stages of concept design through detailed design and final construction.
Right -of -Way: Based on the RFP, improvements are believed to be contained within the public right-of-way. Our
qualified experts will identify if there are any right-of-way conflicts and provide recommendations to the City.
Utilities: Our team will perform detailed research to identify utilities that may be impacted by the project and identify
parties responsible for relocation of conflicting utilities, if necessary.
Complete Project Support: The City requires a team of experts throughout the entire project duration from early
concept through finished construction. Our project management team has considerable construction management
and administration experience administering construction of large federally -funded roadway projects. Our prior
experience will not only serve the bid phase and construction implementation but also the design phase, streamlining
the Caltrans Local Assistance ATP PS&E audit phase.
As Principal -in -Charge, I certify that I have the authorityto negotiate contracts on behalf of Tetra Tech, and I am
authorized to make representations for our organization. Please feel free to contact me at (805) 542-9052, or
mauricio.argente@tetratech.com, if you have further questions or requests for additional information.

FIRST STREET PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS PS&E
RFP NO.: 10-110
Understanding of Need
The First Street Pedestrian Improvements
Project, through the use of State and Federal grant
funds administered by the California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) Active Transportation
Program (ATP), proposes to widen the existing
sidewalks along a 1.2-mile portion of First Street
between Flower Street and Standard Avenue in the
City of Santa Ana. The existing sidewalks within the
corridor do not comply with the current Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Portions
of the sidewalks are in need of repair, tree roots
have lifted sidewalk panels, cross -slopes at driveway
crossings exceed ADA maximums, portions of the
sidewalks lack adequate clear widths between
existing site features, curb ramps do not meet current
ADA standards, utility boxes are located within the
ramp area of curb ramps, damaged utility box lids
create trip hazards, and other non ADA compliant
barriers are located along the sidewalks. Exhibit 1
(page 18) documents key issues.
The proposed project involves widening the existing
sidewalk by three feet on each side of the roadway
by reducing the width of the vehicle travel lanes.
Improvements will include constructing new widened
sidewalks, reconstructing curb ramps, constructing
new curb and gutter, reconstructing bus stop
pads, creating bulb -outs, reconstructing driveway
approaches, resurfacing and/or reconstructing
the asphalt pavement in the roadway travel lane adja-
cent to the sidewalk widening, restriping travel lanes,
installing high visibility marked crosswalks, relocating
and/or adjusting existing utility features
to grade, relocating street furniture, modifying the
pedestrian push buttons and traffic signal loops at
the existing signalized intersections, installing a new
traffic signal at the intersection with Lacy street,
and retrofitting and/or reconstructing drainage
structures including catch basins and parkway drains.
Along with the above improvements, the project will
implement United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Green Streets standards to the
maximum extent practicable. Green Street Best
Management Practices (BPMs) are assumed to consist
of proprietary biofiltration BMPs such as Modular
Wetlands Systems by Bio Clean.
APPROACH
Project Management
The successful delivery of this key project requires a
team that is collectively committed to achieving total
client satisfaction; provides an exceptional level of
experience in roadway, bike/pedestrian pathways,
active transportation, utilities, landscape and traffic
design; has the depth of expertise and resources
to be flexible and responsive; and recognizes the
importance of schedule and budget constraints,
as well as the requirements for quality. We believe
Tetra Tech is offering that exact team for your
consideration.
Our approach includes assigning experienced and
qualified staff to perform the required duties under
the direction of our senior Project Manager, Nate
Schreiner, PE, QSD. Nate has designed and overseen
the design of infrastructure improvements PS&E
2 W-724 TETRA TECH
Pmposel for
Understanding of Need continued
in Southern California for the last 13 years. He is
supported by an experienced team of engineers,
designers, and landscape architects.
Mr. Schreiner will meet with the City's Project
Manager and the project design team (PDT) to
discuss all aspects of the tasks, goals, objectives,
and expectations. He will then prepare a project
management plan with a work plan, including a well-
defined scope of work, staffing plan, stakeholder list,
schedule, and budget for the City Project Manager's
review and approval. Following approval, the Tetra
Tech team will commence work by implementing
our proven work plan, systems, and procedures in
accordance with the contract.
Mr. Schreiner will ensure that all subconsultant staff
are performing according to the City's expectations.
The City will benefit from our team's ability and flexi-
bility to match your project schedule with our exten-
sive skilled resources. We are familiar with and will
adhere to the City's project delivery and design re-
quirements, as well as the applicable Caltrans and
County of Orange standards and requirements. As we
have executed this type of project many times be-
fore, we know the estimated project schedule for
completion of similar active transportation projects
design to bid -ready PS&E.
The stakeholders and reviewing parties for the
project may include the City, Caltrans, and the local
community. Plan checks will be provided by the City
of Santa Ana. Tetra Tech will recommend and provide
a list of entities that must be coordinated with
for proper completion of this project. Additionally,
reviews by utility companies and other entities and
agencies will be coordinated by Tetra Tech.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Conceptual Design (30% PS&E)
The approach for this project will follow Tetra Tech's
well -established procedures utilized for similar
design projects. We will first perform a thorough
review of the project documents developed to
date and obtain available record drawings and
reports. Our initial meetings will identify the City's
goals for the project and will be used to clearly
define the envisioned balance between pedestrian
hardscape improvements and Green Streets related
improvements. We will schedule a site walk with the
City's Project Manager and others to gain further
insights, understand specific needs, document visi-
ble conditions relevant to the design, and identify
project issues, opportunities, and constraints.
Following the proposed field work, including the
topographic survey, our design team will begin to
develop the conceptual plan for the improvements in
close collaboration with the City's Project Manager.
The conceptual plan will account for the unique
characteristics of the various sections, incorporate
elements that will transform them to a functional,
ADA compliant, and memorable pedestrian
experience, identify opportunities for cost savings,
provide options for hardscape configurations, propose
Green Streets BMPs, highlight utility conflicts, and
correct safety concerns.
Once the design options have been vetted by the
project team, Tetra Tech will document applicable reg-
ulatory requirements, permit requirements,
stakeholder needs, project opportunities, and
constraints to be used as a basis of design. The basis
of design will be the guide to refine the concept
design to a 30% submittal level for review and
approval. We will look at project factors, including
community impacts, pedestrian and bicycle detours,
aesthetics, environmental clearances, right-of-way,
permitting issues, utilities, access and clearances,
value, security, safety, constructability, maintenance,
durability, life cycle costs, lead times, availability
and construction related issues. The Tetra Tech
team understands fundamental project issues and
functions, leading to higher quality recommendations
early in the design stage that are more useful to
the owner. With Tetra Tech's design leadership and
engagement of the project team in the process,
the community will benefit from a beautiful, safe,
user friendly, environmentally friendly, and low
maintenance active transportation enhancement.
Design Development (60% PS&E)
Upon City approval of the 30% PS&E, our highly
qualified team will proceed with updating the
design documents to incorporate City comments
and to achieve a 60% submittal completion level. To
accomplish this, we will provide monthly progress
prints and reports to keep the City Project Manager
engaged and informed. To facilitate the PS&E
development, our qualified team includes Registered
Engineers who are familiar with civil infrastructure

and active transportation Capital Improvement
Projects. The development of PS&E for the
pedestrian facility will consider the connections and
access points, and these additional relevant design
standards:
• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD), part 9 and California Supplement
• Americans with Disabilities Act
• Non -Motorized Technical Reference Guide, Caltrans
(2005)
• Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications
• Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction (2012 Edition)
• City of Santa Ana Standard Plans
• Relevant State Local Assistance Procedure Manuals
and requirements
• Regulatory and permit requirements as required
and confirmed by the consultant
Pre -Final Design (95% PS&E)
Following City review of the 60% PS&E, the team will
incorporate City comments and advance the design
documents to a 95% submittal completion level. The
95% submittal will include final plans, specifications,
and estimates (PS&E). Prior to submittal to the City,
we will perform 1) a thorough interdisciplinary review,
and 2) a quality control check, checking against
the basis of design and the applicable codes and
requirements.
Delivering a Design Within Budget
Perhaps most importantly, the Tetra Tech team is
committed to delivering a project that not only
meets or exceeds the expectations of the City and
the community, but will accomplish this within
the allocated construction budget. To meet this
requirement, the Tetra Tech team will maintain a
running cost estimate of the overall project, and will
coordinate work closely with Mr. Jason Fussel, the
Tetra Tech Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Manager.
Final Design (100% PS&E)
Upon direction from the City's Project Manager, and
based on the review comments on the 95% PS&E, the
community, City and other stakeholder input, we will
develop the final construction plans, specifications,
and estimates (PS&E). All PS&E deliverables will pass
our internal quality control process and will meet
the standards and requirements of the City, Caltrans,
and the grant. After going through our thorough
and established quality control process, Tetra Tech
will submit 100% PS&E, along with back-up design
calculations, models, and technical reports for review
and approval. Each submittal will be made on time
in accordance with the schedule. We will provide
construction specifications for the work, and will
thoroughly review the specifications against the plans
to ensure their coordination. An opinion of costs will
be provided by professional cost estimators with a
detailed breakdown of work elements, unit prices, and
total costs, and will include references for chosen unit
costs at each submittal. Our team will offer recom-
mendations for cost savings. The drawings and calcu-
lations will be signed and sealed by the Project Man-
ager or Engineer registered in the State of California.
Bid Support
The City will gain from the Tetra Tech team's
extensive experience in the preparation of quality
bid documents to obtain uniform bids. We strive to
reduce the need for changes and addenda and will
offer recommendations on pay items to cover all of
the potential work. The City will also benefit from our
support during the bid process to offer clarifications,
and utilize our experience evaluating contractor bids
to identify unbalanced bids or other issues.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
At Tetra Tech, our methods and techniques for quality
control (QC) are employed in all phases of work to
ensure that the quality requirements are fulfilled for
our clients. Quality assurance (QA) is integral to our
culture and processes and is ingrained in each task to
be properly implemented. Our CA process has been
responsible for driving down the lead time for project
delivery and reduces the overall cost of the project
by minimizing quality checks, rework and agency
delays. The quality check process is a formalized step
in the delivery process that requires all documents
and deliverables to go through an independent
review prior to release. Checklists, formal comment/
response forms, and redlined QC stamped sets are
integral to the quality check. The goal is simple:
ensure that the product meets the expectations of
the client and does not require the City to review the
2 5Ke-@26 TETRA TECH
Pmposel for
Understanding of Need continued
deliverables. This keeps rework down, reducing cost
and saving time.
I► First, the QC Manager will conduct a formal
review of the deliverable highlighting all reviewed
work and redlining the set.
I► Once the review is finished and verified that all
redlines have been addressed, the Project Manager
will review the set to look for constructability and
interdisciplinary issues.
Assumptions and/or
Exclusions
• Environmental Documentation
and Permits including CEQA and
NEPA compliance, if required,
are to be provided by others. If
environmental documentation is
required, additional scope and
fee can be provided.
• All plan check fees and
permitting fees are excluded and
will be paid for by the City.
• Reprographics is limited to what
is described within the proposal.
• Right -of -entry permits will not be
required as all field work will be
performed within the ROW.
• Formal traffic control will not
be required to perform the
topographic survey.
• All improvements are within the
City's Right -of -Way.
• The design or engineering of
off -site improvements is not
anticipated or included.
• Based upon direction provided

will consist of proprietary
biofiltration BMPs such as the
Modular Wetlands System by
Bio Clean, and the City will
approve the use of proprietary
biofiltration over infiltration.
Infiltration testing for feasibility
screening is not included.
(► The final phase is a peer review to produce an
independent quality check prior to submittal. This
process fixes mistakes, verifies compliance with
design criteria and codes, and provides feedback to
the design team.
I► Furthermore, the process is audited to keep the
managers accountable for following the quality check

Relevant Project Experience & Client References
LINCOLN AVENUE PEDESTRIAN PATHWAY CONNECTIVITY, Santa Ana, California
Tetra Tech is providing engineering, geotechnical,
environmental, permitting, landscaping, surveying
and construction support services forthis active
transportation project. The project is funded in part
by ATP state grant funds. The pedestrian pathway will
run parallel with Lincoln Avenue west of the existing
railroad tracks and end at the existing Santiago Trail,
under the railroad bridge that crosses Santiago Creek.
The improvements include a 12-foot pathway and
railroad -approved safety fencing, drought tolerant
landscaping, pedestrian lighting, benches, and a
trailhead to identify the pathway.
When the Lincoln and Fairhaven Avenue railroad
crossing was closed permanently several years ago,
pedestrian and bicyclist access was also removed. The
closure now requires motorized and non -motorized
users to travel an additional mile out of the way,
causing a substantial impact for non -motorized users.
The construction of the project will provide active
transportation continuity to the Santiago Trail, connect
to the existing pedestrian pathway located along
the east side of the railroad tracks, and enhance the
aesthetics of the area. The connection to the eastern
pedestrian pathway will provide the ability to traverse
to the south back to Fairhaven Avenue.
BOYLE HEIGHTS PEDESTRIAN LINKAGES (ATP 2), Los Angeles, California
The Boyle Heights Pedestrian Linkages project aims
to improve pedestrian safety and access to the City
of Los Angeles' Sixth Street Viaduct and Sixth Street
PARC Projects. Tetra Tech designed improvements
including nearly 4,000 linear feet of new, replaced,
and reconstructed sidewalks, new and reconstructed
ADA ramps and crosswalks, safety features that
include curb pedestrian signals, and new pedestrian
lighting. Vehicle traffic calming improvements
will consist of installing a new traffic signal at the
intersection of 4th Street and Clarence Street.
In addition to serving all City residents, the project
specifically aims to improve the pedestrian
circumstances for users of the Aliso Pico Recreation
Center, Pecan Recreation Center, and Boyle Heights
Technology Youth Center and the adjacent low-
income and senior housing community near 4th
Street and Clarence Street.

DTLA ARTS DISTRICT PEDESTRIAN & CYCLIST SAFETY (ATP 3), Los Angeles, California
The project area is currently characterized by a
complex street system of very long blocks with few
safe crossing locations, complicated intersections,
and very limited bike facilities that create mobility
challenges for residents, workers and visitors to the
district. When constructed, the DTLA Arts District
Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety project will provide
pedestrian and cyclist improvements including new
cycle tracks, bike lanes, bike routes, new and widened
sidewalks with curb extensions, new traffic -controlled
intersections, a new shared street connecting to
the new Sixth Street Viaduct Arts Plaza, as well as
green street elements. Tetra Tech designed the
improvement and will provide construction support
services for the project with estimated construction
cost of $15 million.
CULVER BOULEVARD REALIGNMENT, Culver city, California
At the heart of the Tetra Tech design project is a
newly constructed 58-foot wide raised landscape
median, complete with buffered bicycle and
pedestrian paths. Street improvements include the
reconfiguration of existing traffic lanes, new and
reconstructed landscape medians, traffic signal
additions and modifications, bus stops, signal
interconnects, new lighting, utility adjustments,
relocation of existing catch basins, and the design
of a parking lane with innovative buffer treatment
to separate it from the eastbound high-speed travel
lanes on Culver Boulevard. Active transportation
components include both bike paths and pedestrian
paths, ADA compliant curb extensions and ramps,
improved crosswalks, and path lighting to improve
pedestrian safety and mobility through the corridor.
The roadway project is combined with a regional
stormwater capture project, also being designed by
Tetra Tech. The project will incorporate an infiltration
gallery under the newly reconstructed raised median,
and will also include retention basins to reuse
captured stormwater runoff and urban runoff to
irrigate local landscape medians within the project
area. The overall landscape design of this project
will include green elements such as bioswales along
the raised median and adjacent roadways to further
promote stormwater pollution prevention education.

NOTES:
L This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the #
of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.
2. An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable.
(i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs= $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology)
3. This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted
4. Calculations for anticipated salary escalation most be provided.
