Addendum to NEWPORT AVE. RESERVOIR RFP
This memorandum is to address the consultants' comments and inputs by the City staffs regarding
the pre-proposal meeting held on September 22, 2003. We will revise the scope of services as a
result of lack of as-built drawings, existing site and appurtenance conditions that were unknown to us,
inability to ever meet the seismic safety code due to the age of the structure, and no operational or
leakage problem reported with this facility. Since we are breaking up the scope of services in
ensuring different-aspects of this project is properly addressed by the best-qualified consultant.

of this RFP:
Schedule A. Inspection, structural evaluation, and clean of the Newport Ave. reservoir.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Harper & Associates Engineering, Inc., (HAE) is pleased to submit this proposal for
engineering services. HAE is a corrosion and reservoir structural consulting engineering
corporation, operating since December 1979. The firm specializes in all facets of corrosion
and reservoir structural engineering services related to evaluation and specification
preparation for establishment of maintenance and rehabilitation of water storage reservoirs
and tanks.
Detailed background and resumes are included in the Key Personnel Section of the
proposal. The firm's principal, William B, Harper, P.E. has over three decades of
engineering experience, primarily in the tank and reservoir rehabilitation arena. In addition
to William B. Harper, the corrosion engineering staff includes Mr. Stephen A. Jones, P.E.
Ms. Krista L. Harper and Mr. Andre Harper. Mr. Jones is a registered corrosion engineer
that specialized in the cathodic protection arena, and Ms. Harper and Mr. A. Harper in the
general corrosion/structural arena. Mr. Robert Wozniak, S.E. was the Chairman of the
AWWA Committee on Steel Tank Design Revisions Task Force from 1973 to 1999 and
accomplishes the seismic and structural reservoir engineering evaluations for the firr~.
This Consultant has provided miscellaneous corrosion, seismic/structural and cathodic
protection engineering services to a wide variety of clients in the water industry. The
enclosed scope of work, listed experience and resumes of key staff should thoroughly
illustrate to the City that HAE has the ability to complete this project. None of the individual
requirements identified in the RFP represent any particular challenge since the HAE team
has provided engineering services on many occasions for similar projects. HAE works to
provide the Owner proven methods for facility rehabilitation and maintenance in the most
cost effective manner. The first assurance is the fact that ali work will be done by highly
qualified and experienced engineers who are familiar with and committed to the solution of
water industry problems.
The main office is located at 1240 E. Ontario Ave. Suite 102-312, Corona, CA 92881. The
contact person for this project is Krista Harper at (909) 372-9196, fax (909) 372-9198,

The Consultant Services Agreement (CSA) and insurance requirements have been
reviewed by HAE. The CSA and insurance requirements are accepted without
modifications. HAE will obtain a City business license prior to starting the project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Schedule A for the Newport Reservoir involves a thorough evaluation of the 1.4 MG
partially buried concrete reservoir regarding structural, condition, corrosion, safety
and health issues. The evaluation will be accomplished by the diving method. In
addition the reservoir will be cleaned to remove silt and debris from the interior
surfaces of the reservoir. Based on the findings during the field evaluation, a
preliminary design report would be prepared with observations, conclusions,
recommendations and cost estimates to assist the City in determining the scope of
work for the reservoir rehabilitation.
The scope of work for Schedule A is typical of the work accomplished by HAE on a
daily basis. The projects listed as experience are only a small sample of the
projects that HAE has completed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Harper & Associates Engineering, Inc. (HAE) is pleased to submit this proposal
for Schedule B of this comprehensive request for proposal. As noted in the
Executive Summary in Schedule A, HAE is confident our firm offers the City an
outstanding array of technical talent and expertise to accomplish the engineering
services required for this project.
To accomplish the surveying portions of the scope of work HAE will use a sub-
consultant. Associated Engineers, Inc. has engaged in civil engineering,
surveying and construction administration for public and private clients since
1955. The firm's 45 employees include eleven (11) registered civil engineers,
civil designers, seven (7) licensed land surveyors, CADD operators,
survey/mapping technicians, and administrative staff who support these services.
Projects have included all aspects of civil engineering design, studies, surveys,
planning, utility coordination and construction management. Survey capabilities
include boundary, topographic, ALTA and utility mapping, aerial control surveys,
right-of-way mapping and construction staking. Associated Engineers' clientele
include industrial, commercial and residential developers, municipalities, flood
control districts, school districts, water agencies, airport and highway authorities,
utility companies and various State and Federal agencies.
Over the years, Associated Engineers has built a strong reputation for quality
work arid professional integrity. Due to this reputation for providing a quality work
product, we have had the opportunity to be involved in many high profile
engineering and surveying projects.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Schedule B for the Newport Reservoir involves providing as-built facility, site and
topographic plan. This data will then be used by the Consultant to evaluate the
reservoir and site regarding site drainage, site access, piping condition,
appurtenances, tank circulation and safety issues. Based on the findings, a
preliminary design report would be prepared with observations, conclusions,
recommendations and cost estimates to assist the City in determining the scope
of work for the reservoir rehabilitation project.
To accomplish the scope of work for Schedule B, HAE would subconsult a
