D. UNDERSTANDING OF NEED
Resources and Responsiveness
With a large contingent of local resources
from which to draw, the Psomas Project Team
can respond to whatever needs may arise. By
managing a balanced client workload among
our staff, Psomas is able to respond within
one day to meet with the City. This keeps
the project momentum moving forward so the
Psomas Team is in place and ready to work
within days of receiving a Notice to Proceed. Our
experienced managers have the knowledge and
skills required to navigate the hurdles that may
arise during the course of the project.
The Psomas Team understands the importance
of meeting timely deadlines. We commit to
providing adequate staffing (as to both number of
personnel and their qualifications) for each task.
Being a firm with 595 employees, Psomas is the
"right size" firm for this contract —big enough
to handle any task order, but adept enough to
provide the City of Santa Ana that personal
touch and responsiveness.
Project Management Approach
Psomas' approach to project delivery involves
a combination of administrative or management
steps and procedures that ensure the project
scope objectives are met, on time and
within budget. The elements of the project
management effort can generally be identified
as communication, thorough documentation and
quality control. Maira Salcedo and all of our staff
engineers have the project management tools
in place to ensure all aspects of the delivery
process are implemented, and the goals and
expectations of City staff are met.
Communication
Communication starts with scope negotiation,
a signed contract and a kick -of meeting, and
continues through the completion of the project.
Without communication, a project will simply
not be delivered. Psomas takes great pride in
our communication protocols and abilities. Our
ultimate goal is to be an extension of City staff,
and to ensure the City's project manager is
always up-to-date on the status of each task, so
there are no surprises.
Project Tracking
Psomas recognizes the need for tracking
project budgets along with progress in order
to minimize the risk of overruns. Each week,
our project manager receives project summary
reports detailing hours charged and costs for that
particular period and for the project to date. On
our monthly invoices, the client is provided with
the hours and costs charged to the job for that
month, and a budget summary that shows the
amount spent to date and the amount remaining.
Psomas uses project management software
that tracks schedule and budget by task. Work
schedule modifications can be made to keep the
project on track.
Schedule Control
For each project, Psomas develops and
maintains a project schedule that identifies key
milestones and critical path items. The schedule
is frequently updated and shared with the project
team and stakeholders.
To ensure the project remains on schedule, the
following strategies are used:
■ Constant communication with the City's project
manager to identify critical items
■ Quick response to design questions, field
issues, and other requests
■ Commitment to respond within 24 hours
(replies to emails or voicemails)
■ Monitoring of the project schedule to compare
progress versus plan
■ QA/QC verification of subconsultant products
and progress
• Sharing of design files, meeting notes, and
other documents on Psomas' ProjectWeb to
ensure all team members are using the most
recent information
Using these tools, Psomas is able to maintain the
project schedule by monitoring time -critical items
such as agency/stakeholder review periods,
utility relocations, right-of-way acquisitions, and
environmental permitting issues.
C 4if'Jo.]Any _._ - -- -. UPh,11 flN PSOMAS
Documentation
Proper documentation is critical for all projects,
but especially for projects funded with multiple
funding sources including local, state, and federal
dollars. Psomas Team members have a wealth of
experience delivering projects for local agencies
that use local, state, and federal funds. Psomas'
document control management policies ensure
files are complete and accurate and meet the
requirements of the funding source. Our typical
monthly project progress reports include the
status of deliverables, utility and outside -agency
efforts, cost and schedule snapshot and analysis,
and issues discussion and recommended
resolution actions. These monthly progress
reports will be tailored to the needs and desires
of the City.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Psomas has responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of the maps, plans, reports,
calculations, and construction cost estimates
under its scope of work and will meet that
responsibility through the implementation of a
quality assurance plan. Our QA/QC Program
is based upon the belief that "Nothing is more
important than design quality."
The individuals responsible for our Quality
Control Program (QCP) are the project manager
and the quality control manager. Our QCP will
be implemented over the duration of the project,
and is not merely a series of individual events/
plan checks at a few points on the schedule.
There are three major stages in our QCP: quality
assurance (are we doing the right things?),
quality control (are we doing things right?), and
post -completion quality evaluation (what can we
do better?). Couple the three stages with a robust
training program, and you have a staff with the
experience, expertise, and the QA/QC tools to
ensure a quality product every time.
In the quality planning stage Psomas uses
the kick-off meeting to determine your QCP
expectations. Joseph Boyle, PE, ENV SP, our
Quality Assurance Manager, will then develop a
work plan with the Project Manager based upon
the client's input, the schedule, and the budget.
The work plan identifies specific work products
and establishes a set of relevant measures and
standards of quality for each task that may result
from this on -call contract.
Once work on the project begins, we move on
to the quality control stage. In this stage we
track the execution of the work plan, review our
designs and work products, and communicate
with the client and team members. We provide
project information through our cloud -based
file sharing tools, allowing all team members to
monitor the progress of our work plan. In this
stage, the Quality Control Manager also facilitates
detailed technical reviews of our field work and
design, and those of all team members, to ensure
they meet the quality standards defined in the
quality planning stage. This review is continuous
throughout the life of the project and ensures a
smooth process and buildable final product.

Psomas was retained by the City of El Monte
to provide PS&E, surveying, environmental
and permitting, community outreach, and
construction support services for the replacement
of approximately 6,900 LF of 4- and 6-inch water
mains with 8- and 12-inch mains in two areas
of the City's distribution system due to their age
and to improve fire flow and reliability. Because
this is the first phase of a major water main
replacement project, the scope also included
updating the City's hydraulic model and running
various scenarios to determine if the City should
standardize on 6- and 10-inch or 8- and 12-inch
pipelines for replacement of their aging, smaller
diameter mains. This will eliminate the need to
stock various different pipe sizes, fittings, valves
and appurtenances.
Psomas accomplished the scenario modeling,
prepared an economic analysis, compared flow
and pressure results, and prepared a technical
memorandum documenting the analyses and
presenting recommendations. After completion
of the final design scheduled for early 2020,
Psomas will be combining plans for sewer
improvements in one of the two neighborhoods
with the water improvement plans into one bid
set so it can be constructed as one coordinated
project to limit disruption to residents and
business owners. After completion of 60%
design, an amendment was issued to Psomas
to design an additional 1700 LF of pipeline
replacement in another area where leaks have
been prevalent.

report followed by plans and specifications, and
construction support services for improvements
to a Yorba Linda Water District booster pump
station. These improvements called for increasing
eFPl1e'a.IN PSOMAS
the station's capacity and were a condition
of a development agreement to construct a
residential development in the foothills of Yorba
Linda. Psomas is designing this project to YLWD
specifications with funding shared between
BlackRock and the District.
This project consists of removing one 200-GPM
pump and pump can within an existing station,
and replacing it with an 1,800-GPM, VFD-driven
pump. In conjunction with this pump replacement
to improve fire -fighting capacity in this pressure
zone to be funded by the developer, the District
requested that Psomas also replace all existing,
outdated electrical and control equipment to be
installed in a new, separate electrical room, add
a gas -driven emergency generator, add a fence
around the perimeter of the site, and replace a
damaged meter vault and the meter within the
vault. All this work needs to be carefully sequenced
and scheduled within a limited shutdown window
to minimize downtime for the pump station.

Chris Riehle
Through an On -Call contract with the City of
Hermosa Beach, Psomas provided engineering
services for the CIP 17-416 Sewer Improvements
project, which included approximately 2,700 LF
of sewer lining, 9,200 LF of sewer replacement,
and 39 manholes to be rehabilitated. The project
was organized into four distinct areas, including
Area 1: Highland; Area 2: Harper Avenue; Area 3:
Hermosa Avenue; and Area 4: 24th Street. These
areas were derived from the 2017 Sewer Master
Plan (SMP).
Psomas evaluated existing conditions of these
selected sewer segments and confirmed
the SMP's recommendations or provided
supplemental recommendations as appropriate.
Our NAASCO certified engineers evaluated the
CCTV reports and videos and categorized each of
the segments into one of the following: 1) Remove
and Replace, 2) Point Repair, 3) Line Pipe, 4)
Deposit/Root Removal, and/or 5) No Repair.
We found that, although the City's sewer
system is reaching the end of its design life, the
majority of the concrete pipe is not structurally
compromised and is in good overall condition. As
a result, we were able to reduce the amount of
remove and replace from 9,200 LF to 1,850 LF
and increase the amount of lining from 2,700 LF
to 7,900 LF, therefore, offering the City significant
cost savings.
In addition, Psomas performed a field evaluation
of approximately 90 sewer manholes within
the project area to determine if the SMP
recommendations for improvement are confirmed
or need supplemental modifications. The final
design plans resulted in 1,850 LF of remove
and replace segments; 100 LF of point repairs
at about 23 locations; 7,900 LF of lining; 700 LF
of deposit and root removal; and about 650 LF
where no repair or rehabilitation was required.

Psomas provided engineering services for the
design of an emergency storage basin (ESB)
for Santa Margarita Water District's (SMWD's)
Coto de Caza Lift Station. SMWD has a policy
to install ESB's at each of its lift stations. The
purpose of the ESB is to contain wastewater
from overflowing into the surrounding area during
an emergency event. The ESB was designed
to provide storage volume for three hours of
average daily flows. The ESB is a reinforced
concrete structure approximately 45 feet by
45 feet with a depth of 30 feet. The ESB was
designed with three chambers. Submersible
pumps in the first chamber pump into the second
chamber with gravity flow from the second
chamber to the third chamber. Key design
features include design of the cast -in -place
concrete ESB; submersible pump selection;
coordination of an existing SDG&E power supply
line relocation; construction of a retaining wall
and concrete drainage swale between the ESB
and access road; access improvements to allow
a tanker truck access to the ESB; and design
c�iiws„oa,a — FPNI.i9,oa PSOMAS
of overflow pipeline, drain pipeline and sluice
gates. Psomas' scope of services includes
preliminary and final design; construction
plans, specifications, and estimates of probable
construction costs; and engineering support
during construction.

Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) owns and
maintains four sewer pipelines that convey flows
through the Pelican Hill Golf Club and Pelican Hill
Community Association. The four sewer pipelines
were constructed in the early 1990s with a mix
of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ductile iron
pipe (DIP) ranging from 8-inch through 12-inch
diameter. As part of IRWD's routine CCTV
inspection, portions of these areas were found to
be experiencing material pitting, and deformation
and/or liner failure at various locations.
In May 2019, IRWD hired Psomas to evaluate
the existing conditions of 6,027 LF of sewer pipe
and provide professional design services for
the four sewer pipelines. Our NASSCO certified
engineers evaluated the CCTV reports and
videos. We found the majority of the pipelines
were in good overall condition. The final design
plans completed in November 2019 resulted
in 2,420 LF of lining, 5 LF of root removal, and
35 LF of calcium deposit removal.
Psomas will also be providing Construction
Phase Services including, but not limited to,
active participation in construction meetings,
review and response to shop drawings and
contractor request for information, site visits, and
record drawing preparation.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City intends to retain consultants on an
as -needed basis to perform professional
services for a variety of water resources
engineering projects. The projects may include
water and sewer pipeline design, facility capital
and rehabilitation improvements, storm drain
improvements, and other related projects. On
occasion, environmental and planning support
services may also be requested. Firms selected
for projects may need to include geotechnical,
electrical, mechanical, structural and other
specific project related services.
Psomas professionals will provide in-house
services for civil/mechanical engineering,
surveying, environmental, and construction
management. Psomas will retain subconsultants
for all other scope of service tasks listed in the
RFP. A Resource Matrix, included on Pages 14
and 15, identifies all scope tasks identified in the
City's RFP and the team members who will be
responsible for execution of those tasks.
ISI: Envision Sustainability
Rating System
We commend the City's continued efforts and
commitment in regard to implementation of
sustainable projects. As a founding member of the
Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) and
key player in the development of ISI's Envision
rating system, Psomas has over 120 professionals
credentialed as ENV SP's (Envision Sustainability
Professional). Maira Salcedo, PE, ENV SP, as
Psomas' Assistant Project Manager for the Walnut
Pump Station Upgrade, was responsible for
nominating the project and ultimately obtaining a
bronze level award. Maira is also responsible for
nominating Well 29 Rehabilitation project for and
Envision award.
We look forward to assisting the City in any future
efforts to construct sustainable infrastructure
projects and nominating for potential Envision
awards. While not all projects will be appropriate
for an Envision rating, Psomas endeavors to
incorporate sustainable elements to every
infrastructure project we plan or design.
In order to demonstrate our approach to
responding to a task order request from the
City of Santa Ana, we are providing a typical
scope of services and schedule for a sewer
replacement project.

H2ONET computer model. Tested various scenarios including various
capital improvements recommended in previous master plan but not
constructed and developed a series of Technical Memoranda to update
recommendations. These recommended projects were then designed
by Psomas and all have been constructed. One new recommendation
that came from Psomas' model update was the consolidation of an upper
pressure zone with the major Zone 1, which allows this zone to receive
groundwater directly from the Zone 1 well system, expanding the ability
of the City to supply less expensive groundwater and also reducing
