d. Understanding of Need
Approach
Public works engineering contracts require careful planning, effective communication and precise
execution. For each project assigned to TAIT, we will employ our proven 5 step project management
protocol(Understand4Assign-->Plan4Execute4QA/QC) in order to ensure a successful project:
UNDERSTAND: Upon receipt of an RFP from the City, TAIT will conduct a cursory project review and will
research existing conditions in order to ensure we have a full understanding of the scope. We will meet
with the City to discuss the project in an effort to understand the City's needs, and will coordinate with
and obtain design requirements from all stakeholders or jurisdictions that will be affected by the
project. All records obtained during the proposal will be compiled for future reference and benefit
during the design phase.
ASSIGN: TAIT's engineering division has expertise in public works water, sewer, roadway, storm drain,
hydrology/hydraulics, pre/post construction water quality control, surveying, and minor structural
engineering and analysis. Based on the scope of the project, TAIT's project manager will assign a lead
project engineer to each contract whose background best matches the needs of the project. Key sub -
consultants such as geotechnical, traffic, landscaping, environmental, and MEP team members will then
be assigned to the project at this phase based on the needs of the project.
PLAN: We will prepare and submit a clear and concise scope of work, project schedule, and fee proposal
that includes all necessary tasks to successfully complete the contract. Key considerations in the
planning phase will include the funding source (local/state/federal) and associated
permitting/documentation requirements, stakeholder requirements/needs, level of design detail
desired by the City (plan/plan & profile), storm water quality requirements, coordination and meeting
needs, and the overall scheduling needs.
EXECUTE: Upon issuance of the notice to proceed, TAIT will actively and effectively execute the scope of
work for the contract. Our assigned project manager will stay in constant contact with the City and will
remain available and responsive to the City's needs through the life of the project.
A C: The final component to each of our projects is the implementation of our Quality
Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program. Our QA/QC Program focuses on the following four
primary objectives:
• Ensure that a quality design has been provided to the City, by following established in-house
design checklists that meets our own requirements as well as the agency's,
• Verify that different disciplines and agencies have been coordinated with in the development of
the design plans,
• Verify that the proposed improvements are able to be constructed, and
• Verify that a cost effective analysis approach was followed to achieve the City's specific project
goals and objectives.
TAIT utilizes a Total Quality Management approach. TAIT's philosophy is that quality control begins at
day one and does not end until the project is constructed.
�II TAIT,,,Y Page 15
TAIT & Associates, Inc.
On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services
Quality Control is the responsibility of each and every team member. It includes the selection of
project team members who have demonstrated the experience and the ability to understand and apply
the project objectives to achieve a specific goal. It also requires open and continuous communication
between all team members.
Timely reviews are provided prior to making submittals. Before plans are submitted to outside parties
and the City, a senior member of TAIT will conduct a detailed review of the design to verify the quality,
constructability and completeness of the documents to be submitted. If a Value Engineering measure is
identified by the reviewer, it will be discussed with the Project Manager to determine the next
appropriate action (i.e.: implement the measure, review the measure with the City, or conduct
additional analysis to determine the feasibility and potential cost savings). At the completion of TAIT's
in-house review, the design documents are returned to the design team for corrections. The Project
Manager is then responsible to ensure that all review comments have been properly addressed priorto
submittal of the plans and reports for agency review and approvals. TAIT understands the needs of
public agencies and their projects, and we look forward to proving our value to the City on your
upcoming design engineering projects.
Understanding of Scope of Services
TAIT understands and is committed to fulfilling all items in the RFP's scope of services for this contract
with both our in-house services and our sub -consultants (Sub). Below is a matrix depicting this
commitment to the core services.

e. Relevant Project Experience
Quadrant III Water Main Replacements
City of Chino, CA
TAIT has provide design services to the City of Chino for approximately
7000 linear feet of new 8-inch PVC water line replacing a similar length of
50-year old 6-inch ACP lines within 13 residential street. Over 170
customers will be affected during construction. The City required that all
points of connection to be upgraded to include the newer and larger PVC
water pipe and the installation of new water values in each cross street.
Eight of the thirteen segments require obtaining approvals from the State
Division of Drinking Water due to restricted horizontal clearances in the
narrow residential streets. To assist the City in meeting an early delivery
schedule for one of their current water projects Quadrant III water plans
were separated into two separate bid contracts. The first segment of 2800
LF was recently awarded at a low bid price of $990,000 and construction
commenced in April 2018 and completed in 6 months. The second bid
package received City authorization to advertise in February 2018 and was
constructed in 2018.
Hoover, Toll, Keppel Recycled Water Project
Glendale Water & Power, Glendale, CA
TAIT was contracted to provide design build services with 1DC for the
recycled water project within the Glenwood residential neighborhood and
surrounding schools. The project was located in residential streets in an
area of Glendale which required our team to develop construction
documents that could accommodate traffic for three public schools and a
design that would work with many existing utilities. The design involved
the preparation of plans and specifications for approximately 5,890linear
feet of 8-inch recycled water pipeline to bring recycled waterto GWP's
customers in the area. In addition, the project provided enough capacity
for future extension and expansion. TAIT provided the design services
along with topographical survey of the neighborhood. Due to the
numerous existing utilities and mains within the project, detailed designs
were provided to ensure adequate clearance between all utilities.

Kenneth and Ben Lomond Water Main
Replacement Projects
Glendale Water & Power, Glendale, CA
TAIT was contracted to provide design build services with JDC for the
Kenneth and Ben Lomond neighborhoods water main replacement
projects. The project was located in residential streets in an area of
Glendale which required our team to develop construction documents
that could accommodate traffic while working in residential streets and a
design that would work with many existing utilities. The existing water
mains in the Kenneth and Ben Lomond neighborhoods were 40-50 years
old and were deteriorated and made with unlined cast-iron. The design
involved the preparation of plans and specifications for the replacement
and installation of approximately 11,340 linear feet of new 12-inch and fl-
inch diameter ductile -iron water mains. Existing galvanized and copper
services smaller than 1 inch were replaced with 1-inch copper
services. Existing fire hydrants were replaced and spacing was decreased
to provide current fire protection to the neighborhood. TAIT provided the
design services along with topographical survey of the long
neighborhood.
Foothill District Water Main Replacements
Golden State Water Company, Foothill District
Construction Cost for the six (6) Foothill Projects:
• City of Claremont -Indian Hill Blvd. $350,400
• County of LA -Mangrove Ave$332,700
• City of San Dimas -Baseline Well, $304,500
• County of LA -Lenore Ave., $707,950
• County of LA-Marshburn Ave, $677,800
• County of LA-Kelburn Ave., $372,500
TAIT was the Designer of Record for these six projects for Golden State
Water Company (GSWC). TAIT provided the survey and design services
for the replacement of 13,200 lineal feet of various sizes (4, 6, 8-inch steel
water main) for the Foothill District. The existing lines, having been
installed in the 40's, were in poor condition and were not providing
proper service to the GSWC customers. GSWC was looking for a
streamlined construction schedule and therefore went with a Design Build
process for each of these projects. To stream line the work further, GSWC
packaged several projects into a single contract. This contract included a
total of six water main replacement projects that cover residential
neighborhoods, commercial customers, and work in major roadways.

Normandie Ave. Water Main Replacement Project
Golden State Water Company, Los Angeles, CA
TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) provided engineering design services fora
Design Build (DB) project awarded by Golden State Water Company
(GSWC). TAIT provided the survey and design services for the replacement
of 1,600lineal feet of 14-inch steel water main in Normandie Avenue
between Imperial Highway and 110th Street. The existing line, having
been installed in 1946, was in poor condition and was not providing
proper service to the GSWC customers. GSWC was looking for a
streamlined construction schedule and therefore went with a Design Build
Request for Proposal. All water mains within the intersection of Imperial
Highway were replaced so that they would not have to be subject to
emergency repairs in the near future. To facilitate the sped up schedule
requested and ensure minimal disruption, the potholes were performed
using ground penetrating radar (GPR) with a minimal number of actual
potholing. The final alignment of the new 12" water main was positioned
to fall in the shoulder of the roadway to minimize traffic disruption and
increase speed of construction.
Adams Hill Neighborhood Water Main
Replacement Project
Glendale Water & Power, Glendale, CA
TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) teamed with J. De Sigio Construction, Inc.
(JDC) on a Design Build (DB) project for Glendale Water & Power (GWP).
TAIT provided the survey and design services for the replacement of
10,620 lineal feet of 4 and 6-inch water main at the Adams Hill
neighborhood. The neighborhood is serviced by two pressure zones and
the existing water mains were 33 to 89 years old and were deteriorated
and could not meet current fire flow demands.
The streets that were involved with the project were: Dartmouth,
Wellesly, Scofield, Yale, Princeton, Berkley, Green, Loma Crest, Corona,
Garfield, Cherokee and Osceola. These residential streets were narrow,
steep, and windy. This created a challenge for both the design and
construction phase. On the design side, the narrow streets did not
provide for much separation from the existing sewer main that traversed
the narrow roadways. The DBE team (TAIT/JDC) worked with GWP to
determine the alignment that was a best fit for each roadway. TAIT then
prepared and processed the required Department of Public Health (DPH)
Waivers for final approval of the alignments.

Beaudry Terrace Water Main Replacement
Glendale Water & Power, Glendale, CA
TAIT was contracted to provide design build services with JDC for the
Beaudry Terrace neighborhood water main replacement project. The
project was located in residential streets in a hilly part of Glendale which
required our team to develop construction documents that could
accommodate traffic while working in narrow residential streets.
The existing water mains in the Beaudry Terrace neighborhood were 40-
50 years old and were deteriorated and made with unlined cast-iron. The
design involved the preparation of plans and specifications for the
replacement and installation of approximately 5,300 linear feet of new
12-inch, 8-inch, and 6 inch diameter ductile -iron water mains. Existing
galvanized and copper services smaller than 1 inch were replaced with f-
inch copper services. Existing fire hydrants were replaced and spacing
was increased to provide current fire protection to the neighborhood.
TAIT provided the design services along with topographical survey of this
hilly neighborhood. Due to the hilly nature of the project, retaining walls
were designed at some of the hydrants to ensure adequate clearance was
provided between the hydrant and the adjoining slopes.

2. Scope of Services and Schedule
Below is TAIT's sample Scope of Work from our recent successful Chino Quadrant III Water Main
Replacement Project.
Sample Scope of Work
TAIT takes no exceptions to the City of Chino's revised scope of work. Based on our review of the RFP
and the revisions to Quadrant III project segments and bid package requirements, the following is our
proposed revised scope of work for successfully completing the initial analysis and design of the project:
PHASE 1) ADMINISTRATION
A As -Built Research, Investigation and Review
Review of record Information provided from the City files will be conducted to verify existing field
conditions. TAIT will also research and acquire existing available design records and utility
information. It is anticipated that the information collected during the research phase will be used
to assist in the development of the project base maps.
The records research will include obtaining records from the City, utility providers and all other
jurisdictions within the project limits. In addition, TAIT will document, contact, and coordinate with
other public and private agencies/entities/jurisdictions involved to inform them about the project
and obtain their records, approval, and permit requirements, as applies.
Obtained records will be reviewed and correlated with the Topographic and aerial (Bing Map) data
in order to prepare the final project Base map.
Deliverables:
✓ Digital Copies Records, Field Notes, Observations, & Photos
B Utility Research & Notification
Utility Notices
At project inception, TAIT will conduct utility research through Dig -Alert and City records and
will prepare and distribute the 1st utility notifications which will identify the project intent,
limits, and general scope of work and will request that each utility provide our office with the
associated As -Built records for the project limits. TAIT will review and compile the received
responses in to the project Utility matrix for tracking of existing utilities and conflicting facilities.
Upon completion of the 60% design, TAIT will distribute a 2nd notice to all present utilities and
will include a current set of plans for the utility's review and comment. All foreseen utility
relocations or conflicts will be identified in this notice for the Utility's review and action. TAIT
will actively coordinate with all utilities in order to ensure all relocations are coordinated and
completed prior to the start of the City's project.
The final notice will be sent at the design completion stage and will include a signed print of the
plans for the utilities records. TAIT will review all obtained record data and will coordinate with
�IITAIT _ Page 111
t TAIT & Associates, Inc.
_L On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services
utilities that may be affected in order to obtain further design and construction requirements.
All utility coordination, records and data will be compiled at the end of the project and will be
submitted to the City for future reference.
Utility Records & Base map
As utility records are received, TAIT will update the project base map to ensure the plans have
the most recent alignment, size, type and depth of utilities currently present.
Utility Coordination
TAIT will coordinate with all present and affected utilities during the course of the design. All
potential conflicts with the improvements will be identified, and contact will be made with the
appropriate utility coordinator. Utility permits are not anticipated as part of this contract.
Utility Potholing
Tait will develop a potholing plan to identify locations in the field where field potholing may be
required to finalize the project's vertical alignments. Abased on a review of each project
segment Tait has identified potentially a total of 30 potholes that may be required.
After the approval of the preliminary water line pipe alignment and connection points, Tait will I
identify each pipe crossings using record drawings, field observations and field survey data. Of
the total number of pipe crossings identified, Tait will then identify the most critical crossings
that would require further investigation. The critical locations will then be used to develop a
Potholing Plan for the project. This Plan will then be submitted to the City for approval of the
Potholing Plan and the contract required number of potholes being proposed.
Tait's Fee Proposal provides a cost be pothole, the cost for a full day of potholing (approximately
five to six potholes based on the pothole locations and traffic conditions encountered) and the
total cost to do the 30 potholes initially identified by Tait in the development of our proposal
project understanding. Based on the final Number of Potholes the city will identify the proposed
approach to address the cost of conducting field services portion of the project's utility
potholing.
Utility Potholing - Field Services — OPTIONAL TASK
TAIT has obtained the services of Bess Testlab Inc. (BTL) in order to provide any required
potholing on this contract. In order to maximize the benefit of the potholing activities, TAIT
proposes to conduct all potholing services during the preparation of the 60% plans. Pothole
locations will be tied to existing features in the field in order to accurately represent the location
of the potholes on the plans.
The proposed potholing approach will use "spotholing" methods in order to minimize the time
of traffic impact and damage to the pavement structure. 1'xl' diameter holes will be cut in the
pavement soil will be excavated down to the depth of existing utility via use of a vacuum truck
and a high pressure hose.
