be performed prior to execution of the Reimbursement Agreements is a constructability review
and there are adequate funds existing in the CIP Budget to cover this expense.
If the Reimbursement Agreements are not executed this Agreement will be terminated and the
consultant paid for work performed.
The total not to exceed fee consists of various components such as inspections,
administration, materials testing, environmental testing, construction surveying, and a
resident engineer to manage all components. The cost of each component is as follows:

Materials Testing ............................................................................ $ 196,506.00
Construction Surveying ..................................................................$ 118,190.00
Resident Engineer (Construction Management) ............................ $ 458.640.00
TOTAL.............. $ 2,055,967.00
The industry standard for Construction Management is in the 3% to 5% range. The cost of
Construction Management for this contract is 2.2% of the estimated City construction
contract and estimated outside agency utility construction work. This cost is within industry
standards.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Project will construct street, traffic signal, parkway, sidewalk, storm drain,
water, reclaimed water, sewer, and dry utility backbone infrastructure improvements on
Valencia North Loop Road from Redhill Avenue to West Connector Road; on West
Connector Road from Valencia North Loop Road to Edinger Avenue; and on Lansdowne
Road from Valencia North Loop Road to the end of the cul-de-sac. Construction on
Severyns Road will be limited to the intersection improvements at Valencia North Loop
Road, with the extension of Severyns Road to be constructed by Lennar Homes at a later
date. The Project will also include construction of the street, storm drain, water, sewer and
reclaimed water line on Armstrong Avenue between Valencia North Loop Road and Warner
Avenue, with only the sewer and water improvements being constructed between Warner
Avenue and Barranca Parkway. Backbone dry utilities, including gas, electric, telephone
and cable, will be constructed underground in conjunction with all street improvements.
DISCUSSION
Construction of this project will require several full time personnel to oversee the
construction activities. A Resident Engineer, Office Engineer, Highway Inspector, Utilities
Inspector and Administrative Assistant are the full time personnel proposed during the
construction of the Project.

Additionally, the construction management team will be supplemented with staff to perform
materials testing, environmental testing, construction survey support, cost analyst functions,
scheduling, quality control, and safety activities.
Another important feature of the services to be performed prior to soliciting bids is a
constructability review. The Construction Management firm will conduct a constructability
review of the bid documents as they relate to construction details, staged construction,
multi-agency coordination, utility coordination, safety, budget, and schedule. Specifically,
the constructability review program will examine the following:
. Technical elements of the design
. Completeness of the plans and specifications
. Compatibility of the plans and the technical specifications
. Feasibility of the construction staging and traffic handling plans
. Coordination/staging of the utility tie-ins
. Safety considerations
. Construction cost estimate
. Project schedule
The Construction Manager will be responsible for keeping the project on schedule and
within budget. The Construction Manager will coordinate the construction activities of all
aspects of the project under the oversight of the City's Engineering Division.
Staff recently conducted an exhaustive selection process for construction management
services on the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No.
7130) combined with the Edinger Avenue (Smart Street) Widening Project from SR-55 to
1400 feet east of Red Hill Avenue (CIP No. 7147) in the City of Tustin and from Ritchey
Street to SR-55 (CIP No. 2585) in the City of Santa Ana. The construction management
services contract for this project was awarded to Jacobs Civil, Inc. Washington Group
International, Inc. was rated the second most qualified firm for that project. Therefore,
when construction management services was required for the Phase I Tustin Legacy
Backbone Infrastructure Project (Valencia North Loop Road, Armstrong Avenue,
Lansdowne Road, Severyns Road, and West Connector Road) (CIP No. 7139), staff
contacted the Washington Group International, Inc. to provide a proposal and fee schedule
for such services.
A proposal and cost estimate was submitted by Washington Group International, Inc. The
proposal was reviewed and found to be in conformance with the services required for
construction of the subject project. After reviewing the initial cost submittal from
Washington Group International, Inc., staff met with the principal members of the proposed
construction management team to negotiate a fair and reasonable compensation for the
proposed scope of work. All personnel assigned to the City by Washington Group
International, Inc. will be compensated on an hourly basis for providing construction
management services. Additional services include providing materials and testing services,

Avenue, Lansdowne Road, Severyns Road, and West Connector Road) (CIP No. 7139)

environmental testing services, and supplemental construction survey services. The
number of person-hours proposed by Washington Group International, Inc. was
reasonable. Based on past experience, the hourly rates from Washington Group
International, Inc. were also found to be comparable to the hourly rates charged by other
construction management firms. Therefore, it is staff's professional opinion that a not to
exceed negotiated fee of $2,055,967.00 is reasonable for the level of work associated with
the proposed project.
Until the Reimbursement Agreements with Lennar Homes and IRWD are finalized, any
costs incurred for the constructability review will be paid for with City budgeted funds. City
funding is sufficient for these costs. Reimbursement of these funds will be included in the
Agreements with Lennar Homes and IRWD. Award of a construction contract and
expenses for construction management other than for the constructability review, will not be
incurred until the Reimbursement Agreements are finalized.
The initial draft of the Consultant Services Agreement proposed by the Washington Group
International, Inc. was reviewed by the City Attorney. Comments received by the City
Attorney were incorporated into the Consultant Services Agreement and the Agreement
has been signed by the authorized signatory of the consultant and the City Attorney.
It is, therefore, recommended that the City Council approve the Consulting Services
Agreement with Washington Group International, Inc. for construction management
services on the Phase I Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Project (Valencia North
Loop Road, Armstrong Avenue, Lansdowne Road, Severyns Road, and West Connector
Road) (CIP No. 7139).

ConstructiDn Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
Project Understanding
The City of Tustin has requested a proposal to provide Construction Management (CM) Services
for the Valencia North Loop Road and Armstrong Avenue within Tustin Legacy Project (the
Project). These services will include: pre-construction reviews (constructabilitylbidability),
inspection, field/office contract administration, materials testing, and construction verification
survey. All work will be done in accordance with the applicable "Greenbook" standards and
manuals as applicable. Washington presents a team with unequaled experience and qualifications
in the management of transportation projects, proven in the field utilizing a staff of extremely
knowledgeable professionals.
Although the Project Plans and Specifications are complete and approved for construction, the
designer (Boyle Engineering) is making changes to the plans to reflect several recent changes. It
is our understanding that the City plans to advertise for construction in late September of 2004
with the commencement of construction in December 2004 or January 2005. The anticipated
construction duration is approximately 18 months with a budget of approximately $22M
This project is located on the westerly portion of the now-closed Tustin Marine Corps Air Station
(MCAS), which is generally bounded by Edinger Avenue (north), Barranca Parkway (south), Red
Hill Avenue (west) and Jamboree Road (east). The Washington Team has reviewed the plans and
specification developed by Boyle Engineering as well as the soils report and several other
documents pertaining to the project. The overall project calls for construction of improvements
including roadway, signals and lighting and typical wet and dry utilities. The work also includes
demolition of existing facilities on the vacated MCAS property.
Although Armstrong Avenue street improvements have been designed to the ultimate tie-in with
Barranca Parkway, we understand that the Armstrong street improvements for this project will
only be constructed as far as the location of future Warner Avenue. However, provisions to
extend and deal with drainage will need to be made and utilities will be constructed to the
ultimate tie-in with Barranca. Additionally, the sanitary sewer from Armstrong/Barranca to the
connection point for Lennar Homes must be complete prior to the first scheduled move-in
currently scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Valencia North Loop Road will be constructed from Red Hill Avenue to the alignment of the
future extension of Tustin Ranch Road. Again, provisions to deal with drainage at the east end of
Valencia will need to be made to match the existing condition. The construction of the roadway
section and water 1200 feet east of Red Hill tie-in must be completed before the start of the
college class sessions in March of 2005. The installation of the remaining utilities will be further
complicated by the need return to this area after the start of classes, remove roadway complete the
remaining installations by phased construction (e.g. half-width construction of improvements).
West Connector will be constructed from existing Edinger Avenue to proposed Valencia North
Loop Road. Landsdowne Road and Severyns Road extend northward from Valencia North Loop
Road.
Street improvements will consist of normal construction techniques of rough and fine grading,
construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk, placement of crushed miscellaneous and aggregate
bases and asphalt concrete surfacing of traveled ways. Demolition of existing facilities will be
one of the first items of work and will precede rough grading and utility system construction.
Underground utility work will include the installation of:
Sanitary Sewers up to 27-inch diameter
Storm Drains up to 102-inch diameter
Potable Water up to 12-inch diameter
Reclaimed Water up to 16-inch diameter
Electricity

It should be noted that existing underground utilities within portions of the planned alignments
need to be dealt with by: protect/abandon in-place, or removal of conflicting portions as
applicable. There are existing services that will need to be maintained during construction.
The new utilities will also include laterals from mainlines that will cross other new and existing
utility lines. The main challenges for the Contractor and the Construction Manager will be: I)
protection of existing utility facilities during construction of the new systems, and 2) safe
excavation and proper compaction of backfill for all utility trench excavations. The plans
indicate excavations as deep as twenty-two feet, with many trenches having depths of ten to
fifteen feet; trench safety and worker protection will be a primary concern. The geotechnical
report indicates that utility construction will be complicated by areas of caving sand, corrosive
soils, high groundwater and a likelihood of encountering contaminated soils.
The project also includes construction of traffic signal systems at three new intersections:
Valencia North Loop Road at Annstrong Avenue
Valencia North Loop Road at West Connector
West Connector at Edinger Avenue
Traffic signal modifications are planned for the intersection at Red Hill Avenue and improved
Valencia North Loop Road. New traffic signal poles and mast arms typically require long-lead
times between ordering and delivery. This fact must be incorporated into any project
construction schedule to ensure timely availability ofthe needed components.
Although the majority of construction operations for this project will not impact traffic on local
streets (except increased truck traffic for materials delivery), traffic control will be required for
improvements at the intersections of Valencia North Loop Road at Red Hill Avenue and West
Connector at Edinger. Lane closures on Red Hill and on Edinger will be coordinated with the
responsible City departments. As Construction Manager, Washington carefully monitors the
contractor's lane closures for compliance with the Manual of Traffic Controls to ensure safety of
the traveling public.
The control of storm water during the construction process is another very important element.
Both Art and Gary have reviewed and approved numerous Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) submittals on large public works construction projects. Our inspectors are
knowledgeable in SWPPP requirements and they will monitor the contractor's implementation of
the Best Management Practices contained in the approved SWPPP. Any non-conforming items
will be brought to the contractor's attention immediately. All of our field personnel are very
cognizant of importance ofNPDES compliance and the potential impacts to the project for non-
compliance.
Contaminated soils and groundwater are the main known environmental issues on this project.
We are aware that a VOC plume has been identified within the project limits. Our staff members
have been on prior projects involving these issues. In addition our team includes professionals
specially trained in the implementation of mitigation monitoring and handling of hazardous
materials. We will carefully monitor the Contractor for compliance with applicable regulations
including Ca1 OSHA, Army Corps of Engineers, Navy and approved handling plans for
hazardous substances as required. Our inspectors will immediately notifY the City if and when
any of these substances are encountered and require the contractor to establish/follow the
appropriate sampling, hand1ing, labe1ing, and shipping protocols.

CDnstruction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
Project Approach
The Washington Team will provide pre-construction and construction management services
including, but not limited to: bidability and constructability reviews, contract administration,
construction inspection, verification survey, and materials testing. Washington is a designer as
well as a constructor and construction manager. This puts us in the unique position of knowing
what needs to be included in a set of contract documents to assure the lowest bid and avoid
potential claims. In addition to our proposed staff, we offer well-seasoned engineers, cost
estimators, schedulers, and trade superintendents to perform bidability and constructability
reviews of the PS&E package prior to advertisement.
Experience dictates that our staffing needs will depend largely on the contractor's schedule. We
realize that construction management and inspection services include many types of work
activities and some specific inspection techniques. Working with our RE and the City's
representative, Dana Van Horn (Project Manager) will ensure that the appropriate staffing is
available as the project proceeds. Ms. Van Horn will be the single point of contact for the City
with regard to all of our construction management services. She has spent her entire career
providing construction management services, supervision, and contract administration for
infrastructure projects.
The following sections discuss our approach to providing services for this project.
:_"98"'::8:1:" '
Dana Van Horn will be the Project Manager responsible for insuring that the appropriate
reSources are available to perform our CM services. Art Diaz will be the Resident Engineer (RE)
responsible for daily execution of our CM services in the field. As the RE, he will provide
direction to all Washington Team staff and report directly to the City's Project Manager, Mr.
Dana Kasdan (or his designee). Art will work with the City's PM regarding staff augmentation as
the construction effort gets underway and additional staff or specialized services are required.
Gary Plunkett will be the Assistant Resident Engineer (ARE) and assist Art in all aspects of our
CM services execution. In the early stage of the project, Gary will also function as the Office
Engineer. Inspection staff will be added to cover the work as the contractor's construction
activities increase. Art and Gary wj]] arrange for survey and materials testing services as needed
to support the contractor's activities. Any staffing changes will be discussed and approved by the
City's PM prior to implementation.

F're-ConstructiCJ11 Services
Upon receipt of our Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) Washington will gather the available project data

City, Resource Agency and Utility agreements
Encroachment permit
Environmental restrictions
Geotechnical and materials data

Art Diaz will have the overall responsibility for compiling an RE Manual tailored to this Project.
This manual will define the project organization, tasks, and deliverables (including responsible

parties and ftequencies). In addition, the manual will describe and/or specify the appropriate
Project specifications and manuals that will govern the work, forms and formats for
reports/reporting, and software applications to be utilized. This manual will be submitted to the
City for review and comment and will be updated as necessary as the Project progresses.
We are aware of the City's tight timeftame and desire to go to bid as soon as possible. In support
of this, Washington staff has already established a working relationship with some of the City and
designer's staff members and will continue to work diligently to make our reviews of the bid
documents as expeditious as possible.
Constructability Analysis
After compiling all of the project related plans and specifications Art (RE) and Gary (ARE), will
lead the constructability review. They will call upon staff [¡-om our construction division, as
necessary, to assure that all issues are satisfactorily addressed. The reviews will examine:
Technical elements of the design
Completeness of the plans and specifications
Compatibility of the plans and the technical specifications
Feasibility of the construction staging and traffic handling plans
Coordination/staging of the utility tie-ins
Safety considerations
Specific items that will be considered include:
Work by others
Construction access, staging, and sequencing
Long-lead procurement items
Third-party interfaces (utility, resource agency, Navy, college)
Equipment and resource requirements
Maintenance of traffic
Maintenance of utility services
Budget
Schedule
All of these items will be looked at as they relate to the construction of the Project considering
site restrictions, resource agency requirements, utility involvement, maintenance of traffic and
utility service, runoff management, and impacts to local traffic.
The goal of this exercise is to identify special issues that, if addressed prior to project bid or early
in construction phase of the project, could reduce overall project cost, time, and/or public
inconvenience. For example, there is a time constraint on the improvements to Valencia near the
college that will severely restrict the contractor's work in this area. There will most likely be a
number of issues that will need to be addressed in the field as construction is underway. There
should be specific bid items including miscellaneous AC paving and miscellaneous concrete to
lock in contractor unit pricing for change order work that we recognize will occur. A careful
review of the specifications related to this "first order of work" will be required minimize the
City's exposure for change order work that we recognize will occur.

Review of Bid and Contract Docnments
High-quality bids are directly related to the ability of the contractor to establish criteria. As
previously noted, our staff members have actually participated in the construction of many of the
elements on this Project and know first hand what information is critical to a contractor in
preparing a competitive bid. Ambiguities in bid documents lead to increases in bid prices or
future claims. Our focus in this review will be the structure of the bid form (to identify areas of
ambiguity or duplication that would influence a contractor's bid or pricing structure) and the
specifications to minimize the City's exposure to risk from undefined work.
The reviews will also validate: the reasonableness of the schedule; that contract documents are
coherent and capable of being enforced; and that utility requirements, site conditions, work areas,
permit, and other contractor constraints are clearly addressed. Several other specific items that
will be included in this review are as follows:
Number of allocated Working Days are achievable
Timing of utility work by others
Long lead procurement items
Utility coordination issues and impacts
Allowable review time for other agencies (i.e. utility companies)
Contract item payment provisions
Provide an onsite review
Our team's recommendations to improve bidability and constructability of the project will be
forwarded to the City in a written format for review and consideration. Members of our review
team will also meet with the City and the project design team to clarify any findings of the review
as expeditiously as possible.
Evaluation of Contractors Bid
Upon receipt of bids, Art and Garry Jess will review the bids to ensure that they are responsive.
Their review will focus on:
Compliance with the contract documents;
All elements of the contract scope are incorporated;
A balanced bid was submitted
Pricing is reasonable.
After review of bids, we will prepare a bid summary sheet showing all bids. A reference check
will be conducted on the apparent low bidder and then we will submit a written recommendation
to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. If requested, we will also present a
recommendation on timing of NTP based on the project schedule, availability of the conformed
documents, funding availability, access restrictions, and the timing of required permits.
Pre-construction Conference
After award of the contract to the successful bidder, the first significant meeting is the pre-
construction conference. Art Diaz will coordinate, schedule and attend the pre-construction
conference. Prior to the meeting, he will work with the City staff to prepare notifications, an
agenda and any handouts (e.g. listing of required submittals, an organizational chart, contacts list,
administrative procedures, etc.)
22
CDnstructiDn Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
The City's representative and Art Diaz will jointly facilitate the meeting. In this forum, the City's
Project Manager and our Resident Engineer will be fonnally introduced. Art will be affinned as
the point-of-contact for all field communications and coordination issues. The importance of
open communication will also be stressed. The fonnat of the conference will be structured to
promote the team concept and the philosophy of working together to achieve the common goals
of safety, quality, timely completion, and the effective utilization of resources.
Permits
It is our understanding that the City has been issued Fish and Game, Anny Corps of Engineers
404 and Regional Water Quality Control Board pennits. Art will work with the contractor to be
sure that the Notice of Intent is properly filed and will review the contractor's Stonn Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with the NPDES pennit the contractor will
need to secure.
Office Trailer Set-up
The CM will require a field office and the estimated costs associated with a field office trailer and
associated facilities have been included in our cost proposal. However, it would be our
recommendation to include these items in the contractor's contract. The contractor will be setting
up field office facilities for his use and it is our experience that there is substantial savings in
having the contractor procure the office trailer and set up utilities, phone lines, etc. when they
establish their own services. An alternative that may be even less expensive than procuring
trailers would be the use of existing facilities on the base property. If this is an option for the
City, we would recommend looking into this as the facilities would already be wired and plumbed
for utility service

The Washington Team will provide the technical expertise and resources to assist in overall
construction management duties including: construction check survey, contract administration,
inspection, materials testing, contractor schedule reviews, and change and claims
analysis/negotiation services. The individuals proposed for this project are all experienced and
competent construction management personnel. Their years of experience and familiarity with
construction practices will be invaluable to the success of the City's project.
Safety and Accident Prevention
It is our finn belief that a safe project is a successful project. This is not a topic we take lightly,
nor is it one that we address to be "politically correct". Unsafe practices are not tolerated very
simply because they endanger the lives of workers and the public. All members of the
Washington Team are trained in safe practices and receive periodic training to ensure that their
knowledge is current and applicable to the work they are perfonning.
Although the City will retain jurisdictional responsibility for traffic safety, Washington will
monitor the contractor's activities for compliance with standards of safe practice (including Cal
OSHA and Construction Safety Orders), adherence to contract requirements and any special
conditions approved for the project. We will provide recommendations and mandate corrective
actions within our authority.
Washington will advise the contractor of any deficiencies noted. However, in the event of an
imminent danger to workers or the public, we will require that the contractor cease activity until
the situation has been Corrected. Any such incidents will be thoroughly documented for the
project record and reported to the City's representative.

Construction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
For the protection of our own construction management personnel, the Washington Team will
implement our in-house Injury and Illness Prevention Program. Washington has adopted the
Caltrans' Code of Safe Practices for our roadway inspection projects in the State of California.
Contract Administration/Compliance
The Washington Team is prepared to administer all aspects of contract compliance. We have
assigned personnel experienced in all elements of this project to ensure that the contract is
adequately administered. We understand that it is our role to handle the daily issues inherent in
the execution of the Project. As the Construction Manager, the Washington Team will review,
track, and comment on the Contractor's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan / Water Pollution
Control Program (SWPPPIWPCP), Trenching and Shoring Submittals, Shop Drawings
Submittals, and will also assist in the response to Request for Information (RFIs).
Additionally, Washington will provide technical support to the contractor by interpreting the
intent of the plans, specifications, and special provisions and provide the City with contract
changes/claims processing and negotiation (this item is covered in more detail under this specific
topic).
Document Control
Although we have utilized many systems for the logging and tracking of project documents, we
prefer a software based document control system. These systems are quite useful on jobs because
of their ability to track documents, submittals and issues. This feature allows us to easily monitor
the review process and know where a submittal is at any point in the process. Because much of
this software is now web-based we would be able to provide secure access to project documents
(for authorized personnel) via the Internet.
The details of document control system, forms, coding, and filing will be covered in our RE
Manual, which will be submitted to the City for review and approval.
Reports and Records
The Washington Team will maintain written and photographic records of pre-job site conditions
as well as work performed on the Project. These reports/records will include:
Pre-job photographs of the site and any surrounding/adjacent facilities that may. be
impacted by construction;
Daily Reports of the contractor's activities and other project-related activity
Daily Extra Work Reports
Materials testing records and results
Check survey notes and records
Progress photos of contractor activities
Photographs of items of special interest (e.g. construction issues, safety issues,
documentation of remedial work)
In addition, we will provide a summary of project status, and cost and schedule reports in a
format acceptable to the City on a monthly basis. On previous projects we have also included
progress and expenditure curves, significant issues and proposed resolutions, and progress photos
as part of this report.
Schedule Analysis
The Contractor's schedule submittal is one of the most important submittals on the job. Done
correctly the schedule lays out the Contractor's plan for getting the work completed in the allotted
24
ConstructiDn Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
time. One of our Team's most important tasks will be evaluating the schedule submittal to
determine if the plan is achievable. This schedule will be the basis on which the Contractor
orders materials and schedules crews and equipment; it is also the basis on which "work by
others" is scheduled and the basis on which we wil1 be informing the public and management
regarding project progress and scheduled work impacts.
Our Resident Engineer, with the assistance of our scheduler, will scrutinize the Contractor's
Baseline CPM schedule for logic and reasonableness. We urge the City to include strong contract
special provisions to compel the Contractor to maintain an accurate schedule. This would include
provisions for monthly updates (to be submitted with his pay application) that accurately reflect
the progress on the project as well as a "look-ahead" schedule showing a rolling 3-week work
window. The contractor's schedule should, among other things, include procurement and
submittal activities to ensure proper planning for long-lead items. Strong contract language
forces the Contractor to think ahead; literally to 'plan his work and work the plan'.
Beyond our review of the initial schedule submittal, we will review the Contractor's monthly
update and "look-ahead" schedules to ensure that they accurately reflect actual progress and
future work. In addition to indicating how well the overall project schedule is being maintained,
the schedule provides a tool to identify conflicts in the phasing of the work and a method for
planning recovery for activities, if they do fall behind the original schedule.
One of the most prevalent causes of construction delays stem fÌ"om contractors not adequately
planning for utility relocations. As this is a large portion of the work on this project, our seasoned
personnel will be especially vigilant in the reviews of scheduling in this area. Delays in utility
relocations or work by "others" can be avoided through early, frequent, and close communication
with third parties. We would recommend that the 3-week look-ahead schedule be an agenda item
at the Utility Coordination Meetings and the basis for weekly progress meetings with the
contractor.
Cost /Funding Monitoring
The Washington Team is aware of the City's concerns with regard to tracking budget. It is our
understanding that the City may be entitled to future reimbursements for work fÌ"om several
entities. We will establish a system that segregates and tracks budgets as requested by the City.
Our Office Engineer, will be the lead for insuring that all budgets/costs are properly tracked and
reported. In addition, we will assist the City in preparing any invoicing for reimbursable work.
It will also be our responsibility to process the Contractor's monthly progress payment. Each
month, the contractor's pay application will be reviewed against field inspector reports and
quantity calculation sheets that have been generated over the course of the month. The Office
Engineer wil1 be responsible to check all quantity calculation sheets and back up information for
completeness and accuracy. Daily Extra Work Reports will also be checked for completeness
and accuracy against the Tentative Extra Work Agreement forms. Requests for payment of
Materials on Hand (substantiated by an invoice) will be verified by an inspector. All of this
information will be compiled and submitted to the City's representative the day immediately
following the cut-off date.
Changes/Claims and Disputes
The golden rule with regard to changes, claims and disputes is to avoid them. However, even
with the best communications, plans and specifications, not every situation can be anticipated.
There wil1 inevitably be field conditions that make it necessary to change various aspects of the
plans and/or specifications. As the CM, the Washington Team will analyze, negotiate and
process requests for changes and claims.
25
Construction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
This process is frequently initiated by the Contractor's request for a change or a notice of
potential claim although the City may initiate changes as well. In general, after receipt of the
back-up information regarding the particular issue, we will review the supporting documentation,
provide independent estimates, and verify any field conditions as required. Once the need or
justification for the change or claim has been verified, a change package and our recommendation
will be forwarded to the City for review. The specific process for changes, and claims will be
covered in the Project RE Manual in detail.
In the past, working closely with the contractor (Partnering) to expedite their work we have been
able to virtually eliminate costs for delay and claims on our projects. In addition, we have found
that by proactively reviewing the plans (Value Engineering), both prior to and during the course
of construction, we have been able to eliminate or simplify work, resulting in savings to the
Owner.
It will be the CM's responsibility to ensure that all documentation regarding the justification,
quantities, photos, independent estimate, etc. are part of the change/claim file for the project
record. Additionally, our staff will ensure that any associated credits or costs are accurately
reflected in the project budget/cost tracking.
Conferences and Meetings
The Washington Team will conduct and/or attend
progresses in accordance with the Project schedule.
include, but not be limited to:
meetings necessary to ensure that work
As noted in the RFP, these meetings will
Initial construction conference - we see this as an opportunity to discuss goals, establish
lines of communication, clarify issues and raise concerns prior to the Project getting
underway.
Weekly project status meetings on-site to include the City's representative - in this
meeting we would discuss safety, the contractor's look-ahead schedule, discuss upcoming
submittals/work, and raise issues related to ongoing or upcoming work.
Job coordination meetings - topics in this meeting will overlap with topics covered in
other meetings. The primary focus would be interfaces between work being performed
by all parties to assist in making sure that planned work can be accomplished and
identifying any potential conflicts in upcoming work.
Safety meetings - topics in these meetings serve to remind all personnel that safety is
everyone's job as well as to address any project-specific items related to safety.
Third party coordination meetings (including with other agencies and adjacent land
owners) - these meetings will keep "third parties" (agencies, land owners, businesses)
abreast of project progress and upcoming work and associated impacts. It will also
provide a forum for us to receive input regarding "third party" issues and concerns.
Construction Inspection/Observation
It is our intent to be a proactive partner in the successful construction of this project. To that end,
our proposed inspectors are all experienced, trained professionals who are capable of anticipating
and identifying construction issues before they become impacts. We do not stand idly by and
allow the Contractor (or others) to perform work that is non-conforming. Our inspection staff
will work with the Contractor to get the work done right the first time. Should an item of work be
deemed non-conforming, we will track and provide follow-up inspection and/or testing for these
items to ensure that any corrective work is satisfactory.
26
Construction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
Having been a part of the constructability and bidability reviews, Gary Plunkett (RE) and his key
staff will be intimately familiar with project PS & E and supporting documents such as the
cooperative agreements, environmental documents, and construction easements.
Personnel assigned to the Project will perform construction surveying and staking, construction
engineering, administration, inspection, monitoring, and materials sampling and testing services
under the direction of the Resident Engineer, and in accordance with the manuals and standards
of practice called out in the approved RE Manual for this project. Primarily these guidelines will
be the "Greenbook", and "Project Plans and Special Provisions" manual.
As the Construction Manager, the Washington Team's duties and responsibilities will include but
will not be limited to:
Providing full-time construction monitoring of the contractor's work to ensure
compliance with all aspects of the plans and specifications
All non-conforming work will be documented, noticed to the contractor, and tracked until
the item of work is corrected or otherwise accepted by the City
Monitoring the contractor's safety program for compliance with Cal OSHA regulations
on a daily basis and notifying the contractor of any unsafe practices or conditions
Providing daily oversight and proactive measures to ensure compliance with
environmental mitigation measures, and compliance with local, State, and Federal
regulations (including but not limited to the NPDES regulations.)
Meeting with the contractor at the beginning of each day to review proposed work plans
including any changes that may affect project progress
Coordinating the Contractor's field work with the cities of Tustin and Santa Ana, utility
companies, railroad, and other agencies as necessary
Attending weekly job site meetings and other meetings as necessary
Maintaining detailed daily diaries, daily extra work reports, materials testing reports,
photo records, and other documentation as appropriate to document the work progress
Maintaining measurement and calculation documents for progress pay estimates and
changes
Performing field calculations for redesigning facilities to fit existing field conditions
Maintaining continuous communication with the City and State personnel, other field
personnel, construction administration staff, and project neighbors
Advising the City representative of the impact of the work on the traveling public
(whether anticipated or not)
Providing monitoring of earthwork and construction operations
Providing materials testing (including batch plants and field)
Reviewing and/or assisting with the review of contractor submittals such as materials to
be incorporated in the work, mix designs, and shop drawings
Proactively identifying actual and potential problems associated with the construction,
and assisting in providing solutions.
Washington's number one priority is safety.
We would like to emphasize that Washington's number one priority is safety. We will review the
Contractor's safety program for conformance with Cal OSHA standards and will monitor their
27
Construction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
implementation of their own program. We will regularly attend the Contractor's tailgate safety
meetings and file copies of their safety meeting minutes for recording purposes.
Washington has a partnership with OSHA unique to the construction industry in that we jointly
strive to reach 100% safety.
Utility Coordination
Utility coordination is always an important project element. Successful coordination will begin
with the early identification of potential conflicts and time constraints. Weare aware that there
are existing utility systems in place that will need to be protected and service maintained during
construction activities. Art will take the lead in obtaining utility as-builts and coordinating with
the contractor early on with regard to maintaining existing service where required.
The Utility Coordination Meeting will be the primary forum for discussing scheduled work,
reviews and other issues regarding upcoming work. As the work progresses, Washington will
have a full time inspector who will be dedicated to the utility work in the field. This inspector (or
lead inspector) will take the lead in all utility coordination issues.
Construction Check Survey
The Contractor will be providing their own construction surveying for the bid items. The
Washington Team's role will be to provide verification of the Contractor's field surveys. To
accomplish this, our team will furnish licensed land surveyors and personnel experienced in
quality assurance and control. Psomas has over 50 years of experience in the surveying business,
and will provide these services in support of this effort. In order to ensure that the Contractor's
survey is accurate, the Washington team will perfonn the following tasks:
All grade sheets and/or cut sheets pertaining to the proposed improvements will be
checked by an office surveyor and a survey technician.
Require, request, and review elevation certifications such as rough grade certifications,
inlet/outlet elevations, certifications for stonn drains and sewers and any other applicable
certifications to be submitted by the Contractor's surveyor to ensure that the grades are
accurate.
Require the Contractor to install curb reference C-nails or stakes on 25-foot intervals at a
unifonn offset and provide spot check of same.
Spot check C-nails or stakes as necessary for reference to subgrade, finish grade, and
finish surface.
Require and check grade stakes at unifonn offset for stonn drain and sewer mainlines.
Require and check staking for catch basins and connector pipes.
In addition to checks perfonned by our survey crew, our inspectors experienced in surveying may
also provide spot checks on invert & pipe elevations, curb nails/stakes and other items as
necessary. Should an inspector detect an error in alignment or elevation, we will request a survey
crew to provide a check as soon as possible.
The Contractor will be responsible for protecting control points established for control on the
Project and will be responsible for re-establishing any damaged or missing points. We will also
require that the contractor replace all monuments (including centerline and private property
comers), survey markers and ties damaged or dislodged during construction. Prior to our
recommendation for final payment to the contractor, we will ensure that all post-construction
comer records and centerline ties are filed with the County Surveyors Office.

Materials Testing and Coordination
Ninyo & Moore has extensive experience working on both state and local projects. In particular
they are familiar with the MCAS property having already done geotechnical investigations on the
property. Ninyo & Moore will perform all testing in accordance with the Standard Specifications
for Public Works Contracts, Caltrans requirements, and the approved plans and specifications.
Ninyo & Moore understands the importance of prompt and timely test reporting; they have a local
lab within 10 miles of the project where material samples will be tested.
Sampling and testing efforts will include:
Sampling of soils I aggregates for all types of laboratory testing required SSPWC
("Greenbook") and/or Caltrans Specifications.
Observation and testing during compaction and placement of crushed aggregate bases.
Monitoring, sampling and testing of asphalt paving,
Observation and testing during compaction and placement pipe bedding and backfill
Sampling and fabrication of test samples during placement of Portland cement concrete.
Laboratory testing of concrete cylinders and beams for compression and flexure,
respectively.
Laboratory testing of asphalt concrete samples for compacted density, asphalt content and
aggregate gradation.
Specifically, the above sampling and tests will be performed to satisfy any Or all of the following
category of tests:
Initial sampling and testing of materials proposed for use on the project to determine
whether such materials meet specifications
Acceptance testing for materials being incorporated into the work. This type of testing is
performed while work is in progress, and sampling work may involve actual source
locations far removed from the construction site
All materials testing for the project will be performed by certified testers. Testing shall follow the
procedures outlined in the Caltrans Manual of Testing and special provisions of the Project.
Frequency of testing will conform to:
SSPWC ("Greenbook") Specifications
Quality Assurance Program Manua]
Standard Specifications
Project Specific Plans and Special Provisions
All materials and laboratory testing for the Project will be under the direction of a registered civil
engineer. Technical oversight of all field and laboratory testing will be provided by Jalal Vakili.
His responsibilities will include reviewing test data and reports for accuracy and completeness;
and ensuring conformance to specifications for procedures and equipment utilized. As part of
Ninyo & Moore's Quality Control Program, the laboratory shall immediately report observations
and findings of unusual materials to the Resident Engineer who will then review the test results
and make a determination of the findings.
After completion of all field observation and testing, we will prepare a final report documenting
our work. This report will describe field procedures, tabulate field density data, provide
29
Construction Management Services
for Tustin Legacy Project
laboratory data, and provide conclusions and any recommendations. The report will contain an
As-Built Plan showing the location of all field tests and samples. This report will become part of
the final project record to be turned over to the City.
In addition to inspecting the installation of elements of work, the Washington Team inspectors
will:
Ensure that Certificates of Compliance (per Greenbook standards) materials to be
incorporated in the work are provided and become part of the project record
Observe and document Contractor pressure testing of pipelines to verify compliance with
Greenbook standards
Observe and document Contractor testing of signals, lighting, and electrical systems to
verify compliance with Greenbook standards.
Hazardous Materials
Weare aware that there is a potential that the contractor may encounter hazardous materials while
performing his work. It is understood that the primary risk is the potential for petroleum-
contaminated groundwater in a known VOC plume. Our inspectors have been on previous
projects involving the removal/handling of contaminated soils. There is also the possibility of
encountering asbestos in one of the buildings that will be demolished at the Valencia entrance to
the MCAS.
In the event that we encounter hazardous materials, our team has personnel with specialized
expertise in the monitoring and handling of hazardous materials. Should we encounter hazardous
materials and require special expertise, such as a monitoring program, review of the contractor's
handling plan, we would be happy to negotiate these services at that time. Our cost proposal does
not include these services, but we have provided wage ranges for individuals who would likely be
involved in these activities.
Cultural Resources
In the event that we would encounter archeological or paleontological resources, we have
included Chamber Group on our team. It is unlikely that we would encounter such resources on a
previously developed site, but staff specialized in the monitoring and recovery of these resources
will be made available on an as-needed basis as approved by the City. Our cost proposal does not
include these services, but we have provided wage ranges for individuals who would likely be
involved in these activities for your information.
As-built Drawings
The Washington Team will ensure that the Contractor maintains as-built drawings as required by
the contract. We will accomplish this in several ways: our inspectors will note changes in their
dairies, we will maintain notes of changes on our own plans sets, and we will recommend that the
Contractor be required to include plan sheet references on any RFI's that are submitted. These
tools will assist us in checking the contractor's as-builts. Recognizing that as-built conditions are
difficult to recall accurately as the project progresses, we recommend that the Contractor be
required to have his as-built drawings available for review on a quarterly basis at a minimum. In
addition, the Washington Team wilJ do a final as built plan review of the Contractor's as-built
submittal at project completion to ensure that all changes have been incorporated. These plans
will be submitted to the City as a condition of the Notice of Completion.

In preparation for project closeout, the Washington Team will prepare a punch list of incomplete
and/or unsatisfactory items at substantial completion. The CM staff will monitor the
completion/correction of these items, evaluate the completion of the work, and assist the City's
representative in the final inspection.
As part of the closeout process, the CM will make a final review of the Contractor's as-built
drawing submittal to ensure that they are complete and accurately reflect the work performed.
When any and all comments have been satisfied, the CM will ensure that the City receives a set
of these drawings for their records. . In addition, prior to our recommendation for final payment
to the contractor, we will ensure that all post-construction comer records are filed with the
County Surveyors Office.
After insuring that there are no outstanding punch list items, Stop Notices, warranty/guaranty
issues or environmental clearances, the CM will issue a memorandum of clearance to the City to
issue the Notice of Completion.
The Washington Team will prepare a Proposed Final Estimate, after acceptance, to release all
monies due in excess ofthe amount to be retained under the contract (i.e., deduction necessary for
incomplete EEO, payrolls, and required documents). If the Contractor accepts the proposed final
estimate, it will be issued as such. If not, a semi-final estimate will be made and claims will need
to be resolved in an expeditious manner. A Proposed Final Estimate is the estimate that is a
determination of the final item quantities that are compared to the Contractor's values with any
discrepancies discussed and resolved.
After a period of 60 days from the issuance of the Notice of Completion (or before, if all
subcontractors have been paid and warranties and guarantees have been received), the CM will
make a recommendation that the City release any remaining retention monies.
Final Reports
Art Diaz and other staff, as necessary, will assist the City's representative in the preparation of
Final Reports

The Washington team was carefully chosen so that we could offer the City, and other project
stakeholders, an incredible depth of professional services and staff. As we have mentioned earlier
in this proposal, Washington alone has more than professionals providing design and construction
services in southern California. We would welcome the opportunity to assist the City (or the
City's consultant) in the areas of design, geotechnical, and environmental services.

Revised Cost Proposal for Construction Support Services, City of Tustin
Valencia North Loop Road and Armstrong Avenue Project, Tustin,
California
DearMs, VanHorn:
Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON@) is pleased to submit this reviseð proposal to provide
construction support services to in support of your construction management contract for oversight
of the above installation project.
BACKGROUND
WESTON was hired by the City of Tustin (the City) through Boyle Engineering Corporation
(Boyle) to provide engineering support for design of infrastructure installations. Our work focused
on methods and materials necessary for utilities installed through existing contamination at the
facility. The evaluation was summarized in the Revised Final Report, Review of Utility Design in
Hazardous Substance Plumes, Tustin Legacy Project (WESTON, May 2003). The evaluation also
resulted in preparation of a supplemental section in the bid specification package, Section EH,
Special Provisions for Work in Contaminated Areas (WESTON, May 2003) included in the bid
package prepared by Boyle. Combined, the report and Section EH outlined special construction
provisions primarily involving construction materials and backfilling for deeper utility installations.
The documents also outlined contractor requirements for sampling, health and safety, hazardous
materials management and reporting.
SCOPE OF WORK
WESTON will provide personnel, equipment and materials to assist in construction management
oversight as requested by the Washington Group. We anticipate that the effort will be focused
primarily on oversight of the activities associated with installations through the contaminated
areas. Oversight support may include:
.
Review of contractor required documents such as work plans, pennits, waste manifests,
etc.
.
Review of field sampling procedures and analytical results
.
Oversight of field construction activities.

Cost
We propose conducting the work on a Time and Materials basis under the attached Terms and
Conditions or other mutually agreeable terms. A fee schedule is included in the attached table. For
purpose of this proposal, we have derived a project cost based on assumed effort needed to support
the work at $140,000. This cost was based on the following assumptions:
Field oversight based on 2, IO-hour days per week for 1 person for 36 weeks (labor and
expenses) - $110,000
.
Review of contractor plans - $10,000
.
Weekly inspection reports - $10,000
.
Project management and control- $10,000
For planning purpose, you may want to include contingency on this estimate to account for
additional field needs, longer project schedule, or reporting activities not culTently anticipated.
Expenses and materials will be bi11ed at cost plus 10%. For field oversight activities, we anticipate
hotel and per diem will apply due to the distance from our office. We do not anticipate the need for
laboratory services or monitoring and sampling equipment since these functions are required of the
contractor, but certainly can be provided if necessary.
