Re:
Request for Proposal - Consulting Engineering Services for Irvine
Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects
Dear Mr. Miller:
This letter represents a Request for Proposal for Consultant Engineering Services for
the design and preparation of plans, specifications and engineer's cost estimate for the
rehabilitation of segments of Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road.
The City of Tustin endeavors to retain a qualified experienced Consultant to perform the
work required.
A total of four (4) road segments will be improved as follows:
. Irvine Boulevard between Ranchwood Road and Jamboree Road
(C.I.P. No. 7181)
. Jamboree Road between Irvine Boulevard and Peters Canyon Wash Bridge
(C.I.P. No. 7182)
. Jamboree Road between Peters Canyon Wash Bridge and Portola Parkway
(C.I.P. No. 7183)
. Jamboree Road between Portola Parkway and 1350 feet north of Tustin
Ranch Road (C.I.P. No. 7184)
These segments are partially funded with Arterial Highway Rehabilitation Program
(AHRP) funds provided by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
Combined Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). This funding source provides up to
50% reimbursement for eligible construction items through the Federal Local Surface
Transportation Program (LSTP), and is administered by Caltrans.
RFP: Consulting Engineering Services Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation
July 18, 2005
Page 2 of 7
The Consultant's proposal should be based on the following Project description:
The project will provide for crack sealing, cold planing of pavement edges,
excavation of deteriorated pavement, construction of asphalt concrete repair,
asphalt concrete overlay, repair of existing curb and gutter and sidewalk,
replacement of traffic loops, traffic signing and striping, and adjustment of
manholes/valves. Location maps of the project area are attached (Attachment 1)
for your reference.
The Consultant shall evaluate the scope of the project and recommend to the City the
most appropriate level of detail required to prepare the improvement plans with respect
to the need for topographic survey, rehabilitation methods and recommendations,
identifying removal limits and detailed cross sections to insure proper cross slope.
Additional items of work include design and preparation of plans, specifications, and
estimates, and following the requirements as outlined in the Caltrans Local Assistance
Procedures Manual for those segments funded through the LSTP.
It is the City's intention to award one design contract for all four street segments.
However, the Consultant shall submit four separate cost proposals, one for each street
segment. The contract award amount will be the sum of the four separate cost
proposals.
Selection of a firm to provide services will be based on demonstrated competence,
professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services
required and familiarity and prior experience with providing similar services. Upon
selection of the most highly qualified firm to provide the required services, the City will
negotiate a fee for the work to be done.
If a fee can be negotiated that is deemed fair and reasonable to the City of Tustin, the
contract would be awarded to the selected firm. If a fee cannot be negotiated that is
deemed fair and reasonable, we will thank the firm for the proposal and will proceed to
the next most highly qualified firm to provide the requested services (with whom the City
will seek to reach a negotiated fee, and so on).
PROPOSAL FORMAT
It is requested that at a minimum, the following be submitted with your proposal:
1.
A brief description of the project understanding and approach.
2.
A list of similar types of projects which your firm has previously performed;

Section 1:
Project Understanding I Approach
In this section we describe our understanding of the project and management approach
for successful project delivery. RBF will identify and describe several technical issues
relative to the Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and
Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Projects as well as detail our technical
approach.
Project Understanding
The RBF Team stands ready to provide to the City of Tustin
with the planning, engineering, and coordination services
necessary to successfully complete the Irvine Boulevard and
Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and Pasadena
Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Projects. Our
understanding of the project stems from site visits,
discussions with City staff and review of available documents
in an effort to provide the City with a comprehensive, technically sound proposal.
RBF has extensive
experience in
developing practical
and cost effective
solutions to public
works challenges.
A total of four (4) road segments and one (1) storm drain will be improved:
.:. Irvine Boulevard between Ranchwood Road and Jamboree Road (C.LP. No.
7181 )
.:. Jamboree Road between Irvine Boulevard and Peters Canyon Wash Bridge
(C.LP. No. 7182)
.:. Jamboree Road between Peters Canyon Wash Bridge and Portola Parkway
(C.LP. No. 7183)
.:. Jamboree Road between Portola Parkway and 1,350 feet north of Tustin Ranch
Road (c.LP. No. 7184)
.:. Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain Improvements between Medallion Avenue and
Sycamore Avenue (c.LP. No. 5032)
,
Key Issues
Every project will involve issues that require discussion and agreement between the
affected parties. RBF works to foster a professional team relationship between all
members of the Project Team. We strive to be technically accurate, objective and
creative in developing consensus on project issues. The early identification and
resolution of critical issues is imperative to keep a project on track and on schedule.
Careful and timely documentation by RBF of decisions reached also greatly helps in
keeping a project moving forward. We have already identified a few of the key issues
as noted below:
~ Proposal. Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and
Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Project
City of Tustin Public Works I Engineering
Pagel-l
.
Funding
Funding for this project will be through a variety of sources, including
Federal LSTA funding. It will be important for RBF to assure that all
items of work as well as the specifications for the project are incorporated
to assure that federal fllnding will be available for these projects, such as
the replacement of access ramps at intersections to comply witb current
ADA standards.
Roadway Rehabilitation
Jamboree Road and Irvine Boulevard (CIP #7181 through 7184) - The
primary project components require that the Irvine Boulevard and
Jamboree Road rehabilitation projects be overlain with asphalt and
, specific areas of pavement distress to be removed and replaced. It is
important to assure that design cross sections are maintained, especially
in the areas of superelevation. With this in mind, addi¡jonal cross
sections will be provided within the superelevated sections to assure that
positive drainage and design speeds are maintained. Addi¡jonally, a field
review will be provided to evaluate areas for curb replacements as needed
as wen as to evaluate the need to replace access ramps at intersections.
Access ramp grades will also be evaluated to assure that compliance with ADA
standards are adhered to.
Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain (CIP #5031) . The primary focus of this project wi]] be
to improve drainage by the construction of new storm water facilities and removal of
the existing "dry well" type catch basins within Pasadena Avenue. The existing cross
gutter at McFadden Avenue will be removed and the intersection will be repaved to
improve the profile and rideability through this signalized intersection. Additiona]]y:
due to the excessive cross falls within the roadway section, a cross section analysis,
removal and replacement of portions of the street combined with overlay and new
pavement sections will be necessary to reduce these cross falls to within acceptable
standards. ADA upgrades and an evaluation of curb and gutter replacement needs win
also be necessary.
Storm Water Improvements (Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain). A comprehensive Drainage
and Flood Control Approach is key to developing a compatible drainage design in
conjunction with the physical constraints, existing drainage patterns, and available
capacity in the existing downstream storm drain facili¡jes..-
Local Street Drainage. The proposed project will result in modifications to the existing
street surface drainage patterns and storm drain facilities. Local street hydrology win be
prepared in accordance with the current City of Tus¡jn criteria and proposed roadway
improvements. The hydrology v'ill be used to review the street flow and catch basin

.
hydraulics to ensure that the city's street flooded width and flood protection goals are
obtained. Deficiencies will be identified and recommendations will be provided to
eliminate potential flood hazards. A recommended~tOIl!ldrain configuration will be
developed to alleviate flooding problems along Pasadena Avenue, and for the
elimination of the existing cross gutter at McFadden Avenue. The recommended
improvements will be designed to respect existing drainage patterns, and the capacity of
the existing downstream stonn drain systems. A conceptual stonn drain configuration
will be presented to the City for review prior to the start of final stonn drain
improvements.
Traffic Signal Loop Detection. Pavement rehabilitation projects will affect existing
roadway features including striping and traffic signal loop detectors at signalized
intersections.
Therefore, detailed signing and striping plans identifying existing signs and striping,
and installation of striping improvements in relation to the rehabilitation of the
roadway segments will be required for this project. The plans will show existing signs
and if required, replacement and/or installation of new signs. Lane widths, striping
transitions, location of limit lines and crosswalks, pavement legends, and Caltrans
striping details will be shown on the plans.
In addition, the existing loop detectors at the signalized intersections may be damaged.
Therefore, replacement of the traffic signal loop detectors will be required. The plans
will show the location of existing loop detectors, existing conduits and pull boxes,
location of new loop detectors, and splicing of the new loop detectors with the existing
loop conductors inside the adjacent pull boxes.
RBF will show signing and striping improvement and traffic signal loop replacements
. on the same plans.
Traffic Control/Phasing. Specific work areas will require protection from traffic based
on the construction phase, type of work and construction equipment required within
the work areas. Specific construction periods will be required on this project to
maintain traffic flowing during the peak hours and to minimize the impacts on the local
businesses and commuter traffic.
Maximizing lane usage for all traffic movements, maintaining access to all the
businesses, maintaining pedestrian access routes, and providing a workable area are the
critical key issues that will be addressed during the construciton of the project.
Evaluation of crossing and parallel arterials will be required for alternate routes and
detours, if necessary, during night time construct to expedite the project improvrnents
and minimize impacts to business and commuter traffic.

With this understanding the key goals for this project are:
.:. Develop and maintain a realistic schedule to assure that critical milestones are
achieved to ensure that OCTA, CTFP, LSTP and CDBG funds will be
available.
.:. Identify and address City, community, and other agency concerns and provide
innovative and creative solutions for all parties involved with the project.
.:. Provide traffic control measures to minimize impacts to the traveling public and
residential community.
The RBF Team will accomplish these key goals and objectives for the City through
development of a comprehensive work plan that is based on careful planning in
identifying critical issues and appropriate construction sequencing associated with
roadway, structures, utilities and drainage. The RBF Team has identified and studied
many design issues and outlined our project approach of this proposal.
Project Approach I Methodology
The RBF Team's management approach has been proven on past projects to be
effective in meeting or exceeding client goals by completing PS&E on or ahead of
schedule and within or below budget. The basic components of our project approach
used to achieve this level of success for our clients are as follows:
Understanding Agency Objectives
A thorough understanding of the project and the City's objectives are essential to the
success of this important project in order to achieve the City of Tustin's project goals in
the design, documentation and timely approval of this capacity improvement project.
Project Scoping
Critical to ensuring an on time and within budget project will be preparing a
comprehensive scope of work that clearly identifies the various project tasks and the
deliverables expected from those tasks.
Critical Path Method Scheduling
Recognizing the critical nature of the funding requirements for this project and the
need for the City and other agencies to effectively schedule design oversight reviews,
RBF will use Microsoft Project scheduling software to regularly monitor project
progress. RBF will promptly notify the City of any changes in anticipated project
progress and will submit an updated detailed Project Schedule to the City.
Specific critical path items or key critical decisions that affect plan production will be
identified on a continual basis to ensure the project schedule is met. This approach

also allows the City to schedule staffing for its reviews in advance and avoid any
rescheduling that would delay other projects.
Project Initiation/Scheduling
Upon achieving agreement with the scope of work and schedule, RBF will initiate and
maintain project momentum by updating the project schedule included with this
proposal to assure that a continuous and realistic design schedule are consistent with
the agreed to work program.
Basis of Design
A thorough understanding of the City's design standards and requirements is necessary
to assure a successful project. Specific critical elements to consider at the beginning of
this project include utility relocations, compliance with applicable federal standards
such as ADA upgrades, adjacent facilities and businesses, permitting requirements and
value engineering.
Preliminary Design
A thorough preliminary evaluation and analysis is essential to the successful
development of transportation projects. It provides a solid foundation for the accurate
scheduling, budgeting and funding during project development. The early investment
in high quality preliminary engineering value analysis can result in substantially more
dollars saved in construction costs.
Contract Administration
Early rather than later infonnation to the client is the tenet by which costs, schedules
and scope are managed and administered by RBF. The control of project costs and
unnecessary design changes is an important element of Contract Administration.
Budget Control - Design and Construction Cost
RBF is aware of the importance to control the total cost of Capital Improvement
Projects both in design and construction. Costs of engineering will be controlled by the
use of frequent monitoring and the early identification of design changes affecting
project costs. This is accomplished through RBF's comprehensive Work Breakdown
Structure (WBS) which is based on the detailed Scope of Work. Budgets and
schedules for each component of the WBS are reviewed with each design functional
leader prior to commencing work and regular updates of cost to date and percent
complete are provided to each leader throughout the project.
Project Progress and Design Review Meetings
On a monthly or as needed basis, RBF will attend and chair Project Team meetings
with the City and other involved agencies. The purpose of these meetings will be to
discuss the project objectives, review schedule and work progress to date, to resolve
Proposal - Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and

critical issues promptly, to address budget issues and concerns and discuss other related
items.
Another effective management tool used by RBF has been Geometric Design
Workshops and focused Design Review Meetings with appropriate functional or
management groups of the Project Team members. The Geometric Design Workshops
will be held during the geometric approval phase to identify major project constraints
and to develop a clear project understanding early in the design.
Coordination and Communication with Public Agencies
This is an area in which the RBF Team excels in each of our projects. Our proactive
communications approach to building positive team relationships while maintaining the
mutual respect of all parties has been paramount to our success. Maintaining open
lines of communication and having the entire Project Team develop a commitment to
fostering cooperative teamwork will result in the resolution of critical issues in a timely
manner.
Progress Reports
RBF will provide progress reports for the duration of the design activities. Progress
Reports summarizing all work progress and billings to date will be submitted. The
report will also address potential issues that may delay achieving the scheduled project
milestones, and recommend how to make adjustments to avert these potentials for
delay.
Project Delivery and Coordination
The design of the Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and
the Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Project brings forth issues that will
- require interface with affected entities. The successful completion of this project will
require proactive and comprehensive management activities. RBF will use effective
planning, project controls, and close coordination with the City and utilities to avoid
delays and to build project consensus.
Our experience in expediting permits for construction, coordinating advance or
concurrent plan reviews to accelerate review periods, and maintaining an established,
respected working relationship with agency team members has prepared the Irvine
Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and the Pasadena Avenue
Storm Drain Improvement Project team to deliver the project on or ahead of schedule.
Quality Control
Quality Management Policies. The RBF Team will operate under a Quality
Management system of which a specific Quality Control Plan is only a part of the overall
system. The Quality Management system is a continuous process used not just at
Proposal. Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road Rehabilitation Projects and
Pasadena Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Project
City of Tustin Public Works I Engineering

.
project milestones but also on a daily basis as work flows from desk to desk, discipline to
discipline, and RBF to City. This program consists of the following key elements:
.:. Specific Quality Control Plan
.:. Independent "Over the Shoulder" Review Throughout Design Process
.:. Overall Design Manager Supported by Permanent Design Teams
.:. CADD Management System
.:. Open Oient Communication Channels
.:. Project Coordination Meetings
.:. Weekly Personnel Scheduling and Budgeting Administration
.:. Quality Assurance Program
Recognizing the design consultant's responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of
the plans and other design documents, RBF is dedicated to their established programs
of strict quality assurance and control. These programs assign specific individuals to,
and define the requirements for, quality control activities.
Review of Deliverable Items to the City. All submittals to the City will meet the project
schedule agreed to by the City and will comply with the standards and procedures
established by the City for development of Plans, Specifications and Estimates. Each
deliverable item will be developed, checked, revised, and verified through a continuous
process prior to submittal. The Project Manager and functional Design Managers will
perform a complete quality control review of the plans, specifications and cost estimate.
Constructibility Reviews. Staff from RBF's Construction Management department will
be included on an independent review team for constructibility reviews. The experience
of these staff members will be used in the project design to identify design and
. construction methods that could expedite construction, decrease construction costs, and
improve traffic handling during construction. The constructibility review will facilitate
identification and correction of items that may have caused difficulty in other similar
construction projects.
Quality Assurance. The Project Manager will be responsible for providing an on going
review (quality assurance audit) to ensure the Quality Management system is fully
implemented throughout the design process.

3. Design Survey And Base Mapping
RBF will perfonn the following design surveys and base mapping:
3.1 Monument Recovery and Preservation
Monument Recovery and Ties. RBF will recover existing survey monuments within the
anticipated area of construction. Each monument will be described by location,
character and marking and a Comer Record will be prepared.
Each monument will be tied out to points established outside of the anticipated area of
construction. Tie locations and reference data will be indicated on survey notes and may
also be shown on the Comer Record.
The Comer Record will be filed in the approved manner with the Office of the County
Surveyor.
Monument Replacement
After construction activities are completed, RBF will re-establish the location of the lost
monuments using the ties recorded during the monument recovery task. New
monuments will then be set according to the rules and regulations of the jurisdictional
Agency.
A Comer Record will be prepared for each monument indicating the location, character
and marking of the monument. The Comer Record will be filed in the approved manner
with the Office of the County Surveyor.
3.2 Field Topographic Survey
General. RBF will perfonn a field topographic survey for the project. RBF will data-
collect cross-sections of the existing roadways at lOa-foot intervals, at all horizontal and
vertical points of control and at 50 foot intervals within the superelevated sections and
on Pasadena Avenue. For Jamboree Road and Irvine Boulevard cross sections will
extend from edge of pavement (gutter lip) to edge of pavement (gutter lip) and include
the locations and elevations of curbs, paving and all above ground utility structures and
features.
For Pasadena Avenue, cross sections will extend to five (5) feet beyond the back of the
curb.
At specific signalized street intersections, where intersection grids will be necessary, a
survey on existing lane lines at not less than a 20-foot grid will be provided.

Culver Drive Realignment and Widening Project
Irvine, CA
RBF Consulting (RBF) prepared a technical analysis and final plans,
specifications and estimates for improvements to Culver Drive from
Campus Drive to Bonita Canyon Drive in the City of Irvine. The
purpose of the report was to present a technically accurate
comparison of alternative alignments for this segment of Culver Drive
which is adjacent to the community of Turtic Rock and the University
of California, Irvine campus. Two key issues that were addressed as
part of the study were noise and visual impacts. New noise
measurements and analysis were conducted at representative
locations along the project. A visual analysis was also prepared at
each of these locations which illustrated existing views and how the
alternatives also compared to each other. A Project Study Report
(PSR) was prepared that documented the technical studies and
compared the design features and costs of the alternative alignments.
After completion of the PSR, RBF provided the City of Irvine with a
wide range of consulting services for this high profile project, working
closely with the City of Irvine, FHWA, and Caltrans. The
environmental documentation involved a comprehensive evaluation of
three project alignment alternatives to satisfy FHW A's reporting
requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
which supported an Environmental Assessment (EA) leading to a
Finding of No Significant Impact (FaNSI). RBF's efforts enabled the
City of Irvine to obligate 4.9 mi11ion dollars in federal construction
funds for the project. Subsequent to FHWA approvai of the
environmental document, RBF prepared construction documents for
the proposed roadway realignment. The work program included many
unique features including design of a subterranean detention facility,
meandering Class I Bicycle Trail and Storm Water Quality Swale,
detailed acoustical analysis and sound barrier design.

SCHEDULE
Section 4:
Schedule
Project Schedule
The RBF Team has reviewed and evaluated the Request for Proposal and Scope of
Work for this Project and developed the schedule included in this section. Assuming
the Notice to Proceed is given October 10, 2005, our team is
committed to delivering the approved final plans by March
1,2006 or sooner.
RBF is committed
to achieving the
City's schedule.
The following page presents RBF's schedule which is based
upon the detailed Scope of Work presented in the Request
For Proposal. The schedule identifies the major tasks and services the RBF Team will
be providing. Each task is broken down into an estimated duration and is sequenced
into a logical pattern. With the resources of over 400 personnel in Southern California,
RBF has the capability to meet this or an accelerated schedule, as necessary, to meet
the City of Tustin's needs.
Project Schedule Key Elements
It is important to execute the design process in a logical sequence and maintain project
momentum. This is particularly true in processing plans through an agency such as
Caltrans Local Assistance and permitting agencies. Maintaining project momentum
enhances the continuity of agency personnel and plan reviewers, which in turn
contributes ultimately to a smoother review process.
A carefully prepared schedule and a well-crafted work plan in advance of actually
starting work will be paramount to getting the project started properly. Thus, while
there are several key elements to the schedule throughout the duration of the project,
we have identified the following two elements as being key to a quick start upon Notice
to Proceed.
