themselves from Item 6.1.and M/Low requested that C/Tye preside over
the matter with concurrence of C/Liu and C/Lyons.
PWM/Ghafari presented the staff report.
C/Tye opened the Public Hearing.
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 10
JANUARY 18, 2022 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
Edwin Feng asked why the entire City was not sharing the costs of LLAD
No. 39.
Jose Flores asked for a better visual of the parcels and wanted to know
why the entire City was not paying for areas that are open to all residents.
Sharon Butler also wanted to know why all residents of the City were not
paying for the district.
Ms. Davenport was concerned that this proposal was adversely affecting
her homeowners insurance.
C/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
PWM/Ghafari stated that approximately 20 individuals attended the
December 2, 2021 community meeting and that the assessments
referenced on Page 29 of the report are annual assessments that are
attached to individual property tax bills.
PWM/Ghafari further stated that the utilities line item covers water and
electricity, most of which goes to the cost of water for the irrigation
systems that will remain in place for residents’ use so that they can
connect their system to their provider as a group or individually.
At the request of C/Tye, PWM/Ghafari explained how LLAD’s 39 and 41
currently function and what residents will be responsible to maintain and
what citywide areas are covered by District 38 including medians, etc.
C/Tye explained that property tax bills reflect the amount for District No.
39, which is not a new assessment but a proposed increase in the
assessment to cover the additional cost that the City’s General Fund has
been supplementing over the years.
PWM/Ghafari reiterated that postcards and all communications were
mailed to property owners (not tenants) according to information on the
tax documents. In districts where they existed, HOA’s became involved
with the process which led to a successful ballot outcome. In attempting
to dissolve LLAD 39 which had no HOA, groups of residents indicated
they wished to go through the same process but because it was too late in
the process, the district was extended for another year at the same rate
that had been in place for 30 years. Because residents are speaking for
the first time this evening, it verifies that the outreach program is working
and the City needs to continue reaching out to the residents so they
understand the process. In addition, while the majority of the properties
do not have this kind of maintenance service provided on their property,
but because they are part of the tract, they are directly or indirectly
benefiting from the maintenance services that are currently being provided
which reduces the fire risk in the neighborhood. If proper maintenance is
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 11
JANUARY 18, 2022 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
not provided, insurance companies determine that certain properties are
at “high risk” and will increase their premiums and/or deductibles.
CA/DeBerry stated that if rates are reduced no public hearing is required.
It is only when rates are proposed to be increased that this process is
required. The way this is structured, there will always be a maximum rate
which is set by the CPI increase, but if the City were to reduce the rate, it
could go up to the cap and no higher.
C/Lyons recalled that in March 2021 individual homeowners who attended
the meeting as well as many who attended telephonically asked for one
more chance at this and she believes the homeowners should be given a
chance to vote on the issue again.
C/Tye reopened the Public Hearing.
Maryann Hess stated that she visited homeowners in the district with a
petition asking the City to give them a chance of one more vote and hoped
that through these meetings and community joint efforts property owners
would reconsider their past vote. The beautification of the City and
greenbelt areas are reasons people move to Diamond Bar which helps
preserve the integrity of the area and increases the appearance of the
neighborhoods and keeps the cost of insurance down while preserving
property values. A local appraiser has stated that by keeping the areas
maintained, it helps every homeowner and supports local venues such as
the Diamond Bar Center. She hopes that everyone will encourage their
neighbors to vote “yes” and appreciates the City giving the homeowners of
District 39 a second chance to keep their properties maintained.
C/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
C/Lyons moved, C/Liu seconded to Adopt Resolution No. 2022-03 to
dissolve Landscape Assessment District No. 39. Motion carried by the

8. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE
REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Liu thanked staff for tonight’s presentations and the community for their care
and compassion for one another and keeping the community safe.
C/Tye said that with respect to the action on LLAD No. 39 he highly
recommended that everyone reach out to their neighbors to make sure that
everything is kept in order relative to the beauty and landscaping as well as,
caretaking of the mini parks. Meals on Wheels provides meals for those in need
and if anyone is interesting in helping, they can call 626-333-4570 or email at
info@MealsonWheels411.org. C/Tye wished everyone a Happy New Year and
acknowledged that tonight’s meeting would be adjourned in honor of Johnny
Gonzales, a longtime member of the Diamond Bar community and family.
C/Lyons complimented staff for their work on the audit and information on LLAD
No. 39. She agreed with C/Tye that residents of the district should reach out to
their neighbors and friends to discuss whether spending a little more to beautify
the area is worth it to them, and encouraged everyone to sign up to receive their
four free COVID test kits.
MPT/Chou thanked staff for the excellent financial report and appreciates the
work of staff and Council to make sure that during COVID Diamond Bar
continues to provide vital services to its residents. He wished everyone a Happy
Lunar Chinese New Year.
M/Low reported that she and MPT/Chou attended the audit subcommittee
meeting and were thrilled to learn about the City’s financial position. She
thanked Mr. Hamblin and FD/Jacobsen and their teams for answering all of their
questions and acknowledged that the clean audit is in recognition of the talent
and extra effort by everyone on the team. The City Council appreciates the
diligent stewardship of the assets that have been entrusted to it and appreciates
that this body is adhering to the principals of government transparency.
Yesterday she attended the groundbreaking of the Grand Century Plaza in
Rowland Heights, a new shopping center that will feature a grocery store, hotel
and entertainment venue which will bring new jobs to the area and provide more

choices for dining, shopping and entertainment. She congratulated students
whose artwork was selected to be featured in the Metropolitan Water District’s
Southern California 2022 Student Art Calendar “Water is Life”.
CM/Fox stated that funeral services for Johnny Gonzales will be held on Friday,
January 21st beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Stone Funeral Home, 355 East 9th Street,
Upland, followed by graveside services beginning at 1:00 p.m. at Bellevue
Memorial Park, 1240 West G Street, Ontario.
M/Low recited the following: Johnny Gonzales joined the City on June 12, 2009
and served a key role at the Diamond Bar Center. He was a leader and a friend
to many in the department and was responsible for supporting dozens of
weddings and once-in-a lifetime events at the Diamond Bar Center. He regularly
helped set up for Council meetings at the AQMD and always greeted residents
and Council Members with a smile. Many staff in a variety of departments
respected Johnny and enjoyed his wit and dedicated service to the City. He was
a father, grandfather, great grandfather, a US Veteran, a local hero, a proud
postal carrier in the community and a Diamond Bar resident since 1988. Johnny
received a Key to the City for saving a life while on his postal route. Based on
his decades of experience as a postal carrier in Diamond Bar, Johnny would help
young part-time recreation staff with driving directions – he was basically the
City’s GPS before there was a MapQuest or Google Maps. Others in the City will
remember his camaraderie while spending time at Oak Tree Lanes. Many have
positive memories and incredible stories of Johnny, who will be greatly missed.
We extend our deepest condolences to Johnny’s family, his friends and his loved
ones.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, Mayor Low adjourned
the Regular City Council Meeting at 8:29 p.m. in memory of Johnny Gonzales.

TITLE: BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROCLAMATION.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Proclamation declaring February as Black History Month.
BACKGROUND:
Black History Month is an annual celebration in February which recognizes and
celebrates the significant contributions that African-Americans have made to American
history.
Historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded what has now become National
Black History Month in 1926, to remember and celebrate African American history.
Black History Month has been recognized by every U.S. President since 1976 when
Gerald Ford issued the first African-American History Month Proclamation, urging
Americans to “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in
every area of endeavor throughout our history.” The Association for the Study of African
American Life and History has highlighted “Black Health and Wellness” as the theme for
2022 Black History Month.
The City of Diamond Bar is proud to honor the achievements and accomplishments of
Black Americans in our community, throughout our state, and nation.

TITLE: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSULTANT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
(ESA), FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $190,980 TO PREPARE
A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE CROOKED
CREEK RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Second Amendment to the Consultant
Services Agreement with Environmental Science Associates.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. All costs associated with the preparation of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS/MND) shall be borne by the applicant. The applicant will be required to
submit the total contract amount to the City. Consultant invoices will be paid out of the
developer deposit account. The proposed Second Amendment to the Consulting
Services Agreement would increase the not-to-exceed amount by $43,420 for a total of
$190,980.
BACKGROUND:
On April 7, 2020, the City executed into a Consultant Services Agreement with ESA to
provide environmental services for the Crooked Creek Residential Subdivision Project.
At the time, it was determined that an environmental impact report (EIR) would be
required as part of the environmental review. After the execution of the agreement, the
project was significantly redesigned: the number of residential lots was reduced from
eleven to seven; several retaining walls were eliminated; and the proposed extension of
Crooked Creek Road was reconfigured to follow the natural contours of the hillside,
reducing potential impacts related to aesthetics and existing biological resources. Based
on these design changes, staff determined that an EIR was no longer necessary, and
5.5
Packet Pg. 41
that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) would be the appropriate
environmental document. As a result of this determination, the First Amendment to the
original Consultant Services Agreement (“First Amendment”) was executed on
September 22, 2020.
ANALYISIS:
During the preparation of the IS/MND, revisions to the proposed project’s grading plans,
landscape plans and tree replacement plans required additional analyses to be
performed by ESA that were not anticipated in the scope of work set forth in the First
Amendment. ESA is thus requesting a Second Amendment (Attachment 1) to the
original agreement so that the additional tasks can be properly completed and invoiced.
Exhibit “A” to the Second Amendment describes the expanded scope of work in further
detail.
The total not-to-exceed compensation set forth in the First Amendment was the sum of
$147,560. This Second Amendment would increase that amount by $43,420 so that the
total not-to-exceed compensation, shall not exceed $190,980 without the prior
authorization of the City.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form.

Subject: Additional Services for Crooked Creek Residential Subdivision Mitigated Negative Declaration
Dear Ms. Nakajima:
As we have discussed over the past several months, there are services that we have provided that have been outside the
original executed contract. We decided that after receipt of the comments on the Public Review Draft Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), we would submit an additional services request. These additional
services are associated with additional documentation for technical reports, CEQA reviews of the Applicant’s technical
reports, numerous revisions to the project plans that lead to revisions to the IS/MND, additional
management/coordination of the IS/MND process, and additional hours needed to respond to comments on the Public
Review Draft IS/MND than originally estimated. Following is a detailed description of each of the additional services.
Revised ESA Technical Reports
During the preparation of the IS/MND, revisions to the grading plans, landscape plans and tree replacement plans
resulted in the need to recalculate the impacts to trees meeting the City’s Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance.
The process in determining potential impacts resulted in the need to re-review the Dudek Arborist Report as well as
overlaying the existing trees on the revised grading plans while reviewing the modification to the tree replacement
plan. Once the recalculation was completed, ESA was required to revise the December 2020 Peer Review of the
Biological Resources Assessment and Arborist Report and update the information in October 2021based on revised
plans.
In addition to supplemental biological resources documentation, the air quality, greenhouse gas and energy technical
information was required to be modified to address the revised Project description that included five assessor dwelling
units.

GIS Specialist 14 hours @ 190/hour 2,660
Project Biologist 10 hours @ $175 1,750
Subtotal $9,955
CEQA Review of Applicant’s Technical Reports
ESA reviewed various technical reports prepared by the Applicant’s consultants. ESA reviewed the original (August
2020) Preliminary Hydrology and Hydraulics (H&H) Report and the original (August 2020) Preliminary Low Impact
Development (LID) Plan. Due to modifications to the Project, two additional versions of both documents were

prepared: H&H in February 2021 and May 2021 and LID Plan in January 2021 and June 2021. The additional versions
of these technical reports required CEQA reviews prior to incorporating the revised documentation into the IS/MND.
Various revisions to the Fuel Modification (FM) Plans occurred that required substantially more time than originally
estimated. Discussions with both City staff and the Applicant occurred regarding issues associated with the FM Plans.
In addition, when there was a decision to add accessory dwelling units to the Project, a revision to the Trip Generation
and VMT Screening Assessment was required. ESA provided a CEQA review of the revisions to the Assessment.
Project Manager/Senior Biologist 32 hours @ $240/hour $7,680
Subtotal $7,680
Revisions to Project Plans and Preparation of the IS/MND
During the preparation of the IS/MND, the Applicant submitted numerous revisions to the Project plans. The initial
plans that were received and used for initial evaluation were prepared in September 2020. Subsequent to the initial
plans, revised plans were submitted in March 2021, June 2021, August 2021, September 2021 and October 2021.
These revisions required various updates to the documentation within the IS/MND.

Management/Coordination
The original scope of work assumed the preparation of an Administrative IS/MND within three months from the
Project Kickoff meeting in September 2020. Due to revisions to project plans as well as corresponding revisions to
technical reports, the timeframe to prepare the Administrative IS/MND was increased to approximately nine months to
June 2021. This increase in time required additional coordination and management among our staff, City staff and the
Applicant than originally estimated. Subsequent to the preparation of the Administrative Draft, our original estimate
was to complete the Public Review Draft within approximately two months. Due to further revisions to the Project
plans, the Public Review Draft was distributed for public review approximately five months after the submittal of the
Administrative IS/MND. This increased in time required further coordination and management than originally
estimated.

letters. ESA’s original estimate to provide a draft version of the responses to comments was 30 hours of technical staff
time. Based on our review of the comments that were received, ESA estimates an additional 19 hours of technical staff
time beyond the original estimate of 30 hours of technical staff time to prepare the draft version of the responses to
comments.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NICHOLS
CONSULTING ENGINEERS (NCE) FOR THE DIAMOND BAR
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS) UPDATE.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, and authorize the Mayor to sign, the Consulting Service Agreements with
Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) in the amount of $60,200, plus a contingency
amount of $6,020, for a total authorization amount of $66,220.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed agreement has a not-to-exceed amount of $60,200. The total cost with a
10% contingency is estimated at $66,220. Adequate funding is available for this project
in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Proposition C Special Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1990, the City has been managing its pavement assets using a Pavement
Management System (PMS). This system provides the tools to plan and schedule
pavement maintenance and rehabilitation based on existing conditions and engineering
analysis. The system was implemented by creating an inventory using historical
construction data for all arterial and residential roadways in Diamond Bar. The roadway
inventory was then assessed in the field, and a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was
assigned to each roadway segment. The PCI is a numerical index between 0 and 100,
with 100 representing the best possible pavement condition and 0 representing the
worst possible pavement condition. The PCI is a critical factor used to develop the
schedule for when roadways would need to be resurfaced or reconstructed.
A PMS consists of two basic components: 1) a comprehensive database that contains
current and historical information on pavement conditions, pavement structures, and
5.6
Packet Pg. 49
traffic on all City streets; and 2) a set of tools that allows us to determine existing and
future pavement conditions, and predict financial needs. This information is stored for
each pavement section in the PMS database.
Gas Tax, Measure M and Measure R Funds, Proposition C, and SB-1 Funds have been
the City's primary funding sources to maintain and rehabilitate the City streets. As such,
jurisdictions are required to certify that they have conducted and maintain a PMS when
proposing to use Prop A/C funding for roadway projects pursuant to Prop A/C
Guidelines and States and Highways Code Section 2108.1. The PMS must be updated
triennially and submitted to Metro to maintain funding eligibility. Staff utilizes the PMS to
comply with this requirement as well as help to maintain the integrity of our City street
assets.
In March 2019, the last PMS final report was updated, and the 132 centerline mile
roadway network was re-assessed. From the City's continuous investment in
maintenance of the roadways, the average citywide PCI achieved was 71 which is
considered a "good" condition, as shown by Figure 1 below.
Figure 1
DISCUSSION:
On November 11, 2021, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional
engineering services. The RFP requested the Consultant to design and implement an
update for the City's Pavement Management System. A total of three (3) responsive
proposals were received on December 6, 2021, from the following consulting firms:
Firm Fee
1. Applied Research Associates $92,940
2. HR Green Pacific $65,488
3. Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) $60,200
An evaluation committee of City staff members met to review and evaluate the
proposals using the following criteria:
• Staff Qualifications
5.6
Packet Pg. 50
• Approach/Methodology
• Level of Effort (Staffing commitment and time allocation)
• Ability to meet City's schedule and expectations
• Relevant References (Record of performance)
The staff panel agreed that NCE would best meet the project scope and schedule
demands given their qualifications, understanding of the scope of work, technical
expertise, and relevant experience. Additionally, NCE has successfully produced
multiple PMS reports for Diamond Bar, including the most recent report from 2019. The
project is scheduled to be completed by June of 2022.

Diamond Bar, CA 91765
Proposal – Engineering Services for the City of Diamond Bar’s Pavement Management System (PMS) Update
Dear Mr. Aoun and Members of the Selection Committee:
Pavement networks are often the most valuable asset that a city owns. This asset is not only expensive to replace
but is an essential component to the traveling public’s safety. Cities are looking for cost‐effective ways to perform
engineering, maintenance, management, and rehabilitation of roadways more than ever before to stretch funding
allocations.
Today, there is a renewed focus on roads and transportation in California as a whole and the demand for more
accurate data is expected to grow. The last three years have seen remarkable changes in the funding picture with
the recent passage of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA or SB 1). As a whole, Diamond Bar is
expected to receive approximately $2.6 million/year. But new revenues come with new accountability measures;
roads that will be maintained with SB 1 funds will require submittal to the California Transportation Commission for
approval. In addition, many voters supported the repeal of SB 1,
so it is even more critical that the public perceives that
maintenance be performed in the most cost‐effective manner
possible.
A robust PMS will provide the accountability that Diamond Bar
residents demand by developing cost‐effective, multi‐year
maintenance work plans.
NCE can provide the City with the means to achieve those goals.
We are a client‐focused engineering, science, planning, and
construction services firm with six offices in California and
Nevada and over 110 employees. We have extensive experience
in implementing and updating PMPs and working with cities to
maximize allocated funding. With 31 years of focus on pavement
research, design, testing, and evaluation, NCE has more
knowledge and understanding than any other pavement
consulting firm in California. Our highly trained technical staff are
experienced in data collection and has worked together on
numerous similar PMS projects and developed an excellent
reputation for dedication, integrity, productivity, quality of work
and service to our clients.
NCE has completed similar projects for over 200 public agencies
throughout California (see map to the right). With more than 100
person‐years of experience with StreetSaver®, and as a
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) certified
consultant, NCE offers the following to Diamond Bar:

(714) 848‐8897
Previous Diamond Bar PMS Experience – NCE has successfully updated the City’s PMS since 2015. Our
proposed team can provide the City with the technical and management experience to deliver the PMS
project on schedule and within budget as we have in the past. We are familiar with City’s PMS and road
network including intersections segmentations and have established working relationships with City staff.
Familiarity with LA Metro Requirements – NCE has performed dozens of similar PMS projects for agencies
in LA County, and we routinely compile PMS reports to meet the LA Metro submittal requirements.
StreetSaver® Experience and Proficiency – The NCE team has worked with StreetSaver® for more than 30
years. We have worked with more than 200 public agencies, throughout California, Nevada, Washington,
Oregon and the nation, on similar PMS projects. We have provided both implementation, training and
technical assistance since 1997, and trained over 500 engineers, technicians, and agency staff in California.
Certified Inspectors – NCE's field inspectors and engineers are certified through the Orange County
Transportation Authority's (OCTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Inspector
Certification Programs. Field inspectors and engineers attend an internal re‐fresher training once a year.
Expertise in Pavement Engineering – NCE employs several pavement experts that specialize in asphalt and
concrete materials. If requested, NCE can provide a scope and fee to assist the City in developing practical
and economical solutions for maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) as part of a budget analyses.
Innovative Pavement Strategies – NCE is on the forefront of new pavement design methods, as well as mix
designs and specifications that include warm mixes, recycling, use of rubber tires, and long‐life pavements.
Incorporating Sustainability Options – NCE has expertise to assist agency staff in the use of sustainable
materials/recycling where possible and thereby decrease green‐house gas emissions to meet AB32 goals.
Real‐life Knowledge – NCE understands local agencies’ needs and the types of problems frequently
encountered, such as lack of trained personnel or funds, budgetary concerns, and other institutional issues
inherent in the use of PMP, and the constraints and has assisted agencies in arriving at realistic solutions.
Rigorous Quality Control – NCE’s projects include a Quality Control (QC) Manager, and our engineers and
technicians undergo a mandatory internal training/calibration once a year for field condition surveys.
NCE acknowledges receipt of Addendum No. 1, dated December 3, 2021, which has been reviewed, signed and
included as an attachment in the Appendix. This proposal is valid for 90 calendar days from the date of its submittal.
Ms. Lisa K. Senn is NCE’s proposed Project Manager and single point of contact for any questions. She is located at
17050 Bushard Street, Suite 200, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 and can be reached at (714) 848‐8897 x104 or via email

PROPOSAL
Page | 3
Firm Introduction
Founded in 1990, NCE is a client‐focused engineering, science, planning, and construction services firm with more
than 110 employees working across seven offices throughout California and Nevada. NCE has grown significantly in
expertise and capabilities beyond its origin as a transportation research and pavement management firm working
with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Unique from other civil engineering firms, we have specialized
in pavement technology, including pavement management, design, and research for over 30 years. We have
performed pavement condition surveys ranging from state highways in 12 states to local street networks in over
200 cities and counties in California. We have surveyed over 100,000 miles of pavements including parking lots. Our
field data collection ranges from walking surveys as per the StreetSaver® protocols to using specialized automated
equipment to collect data such as pavement distresses, roughness, structural strength (deflection testing) to asset
data (signs, signals, curb ramps, marking, sidewalks, etc.). Additionally, NCE has teamed with märker geospatial on
numerous semi‐automated projects for municipal agencies in Southern California for close to a decade.
Sustainable and Innovative Pavement Technologies
There are numerous pavement rehabilitation techniques available today with
new binders, new additives, and polymers all of which may be applied in various
layers to preserve pavement life. NCE constantly seeks to identify the most cost‐
efficient alternatives for cities and counties, such as cold‐in‐place recycling (CIR),
full‐depth reclamation (FDR), warm mix asphalt, and terminal blend asphalt
rubber binders. Many of the technologies NCE can implement will meet potential
County sustainability or environmental goals and policies. Some examples are
described in the following paragraphs.
Sustainable pavements – NCE is involved with projects at both the national
and local levels on issues, such as sustainable pavements, and premature
failures. For example, Dr. Tom Van Dam is NCE’s Principal Investigator for
the FHWA on Sustainable Pavement Systems. He has developed technical
guidelines and a webinar series and is an internal resource for NCE when
addressing sustainability for our projects.
Cool pavements – NCE prepared a report to discuss cool pavement
alternatives for the City of Chula Vista as a means of mitigating the urban
heat island impact. This included the use of pavement alternatives, such as
porous or permeable pavements, pavers, concrete pavements, and use of
light‐colored aggregates.
Cold‐In‐Place Recycling (CIR) –
A cost‐effective alternative to
traditional mill and fill pavement treatments, cold‐in‐place recycling can
yield cost savings of as much as 30% using existing asphalt concrete (AC)
materials, which produces less truck hauling and better time efficiency
during construction.
Full‐Depth Reclamation (FDR) – Full‐depth reclamation is a process that
reconstructs failed AC pavements by recycling the existing roadway
materials. The full‐depth reclamation method recycles the materials in‐
situ and can offer significant cost savings over conventional roadway
reconstruction techniques. It is generally cost‐effective for areas as little
as 25,000 square feet.

curbs, sidewalk inventory, pavement markings, cross gutters, and manholes.
In 2020, NCE was again selected to update the City’s PMS so that SB1 funds would be effectively used. Additionally,
prior to the field work starting NCE met with staff to discuss PMP software choices. The City decided to convert to
StreetSaver®.

Pavement Management Update and Software Conversion, Manhattan Beach, CA (2016‐2021)
NCE was selected to update their pavement management program in 2016 and is currently
conducting their 2021 update. The City had utilized the RoadMatrix software for many
years but desired a program that could be utilized by in‐house staff. After discussions with
City staff regarding their goals and objectives, NCE converted the old database to the
StreetSaver® program in 2016. NCE has performed the following project tasks:
Converted RoadMatrix database to StreetSaver®
Performed distress/condition surveys on about 104.6 miles of streets in
accordance with ASTM D6433‐11
Calculated pavement condition indexes for each street section and the entire
network
Developed maintenance and rehabilitation strategies and unit costs
Performed budgetary analyses and developed maintenance work
plan
Linked database to GIS
Prepared final reports and maps
Trained City staff on StreetSaver® software.

City of Diamond Bar
Pavement Management System (PMS) Update
December 6, 2021
Page | 7
C. Project Understanding
Diamond Bar is located in the rolling terrain of eastern Los
Angeles County and was one of the first master‐planned
communities in the United States. The California SR‐57 and
SR‐60 freeway corridors traverse the mostly residential city,
and safety and promoting a sustainable and natural
environment are key elements for residents.
The SR‐57 and SR‐60 transportation corridor’s interface with
the street network is even more important with the award of
a $30 million grant from the 2021 Infrastructure for
Rebuilding America (INFRA) program. The Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) partnered
with the City on the SR 57/60 interchange project and this
significant transportation corridor’s confluence project will bring the City’s street network into national focus.
NCE understands that the City of Diamond Bar is seeking proposals from consulting firms with expertise in updating
its StreetSaver® PMS. With SB 1 funding expected to add approximately $2.6 m a year to the paving budget, an up‐
to‐date PMS will be critical in assisting the City in developing funding scenarios as well as multi‐year budget and
treatment plans that are practical and cost‐effective.
Ideally, the PMS is used to prepare a multi‐year maintenance plan, which
consists of a rotating maintenance schedule using a zone improvement
approach. Currently, the City has seven zones (see map to the right). This
approach is used by many neighboring cities, as it reduces construction
costs by reducing mobilization and minimizes disruptions to businesses
and residents. NCE has performed similar analyses for Diamond Bar in
2015 and 2018 as well as for numerous other cities in California.
The street network is approximately 145 centerline miles with 1,014
pavement segments. The last PMS update was performed in 2018/19 by
NCE and had a citywide average PCI of 71, which is in the “good” category.
Based on the analysis, the City needed approximately $3.2 m to $3.6 m
annually to maintain the PCI.
The PMS update will provide City staff with two key pieces of information:
1. A multi‐year workplan, which will show the Council and the public the most cost‐effective manner of
spending new revenues such as SB 1.
2. A long‐term funding analysis to determine future needs that will help guide Council in making informed
policy decisions.
The scope of work will include the following:
Perform an update of PMS StreetSaver® database
Perform condition surveys using the semi‐automated method as per ASTM D6433
Determine PCIs for each pavement segment, provide PCI ranges per condition category
Implement a Quality Control Plan
Review and update maintenance treatments and unit costs
Develop a five‐year street maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) list for each of the budget scenarios
Prepare a report that complies with LA Metro’s requirements
Link the City’s GIS shapefile to the StreetSaver database
Present results of the budget scenarios

Scope of Work
Based on the above project understanding, the following tasks describe in more detail the approach that the NCE
team will pursue, and the Scope of Work that we propose to perform to meet the City’s needs and objectives.
Task 1: Kick‐off Meeting
NCE will first meet with City staff to kick‐off the project by reviewing the technical approach and any administrative
matters that may be necessary. At a minimum, items to be discussed will include:
Scope of work and schedule
Field work:
o Scheduling and access requirements
o Public safety concerns
o Quality Control Plan (QCP)
Available files:
o StreetSaver® database
o GIS shapefiles
o Available maps and other relevant data
o New streets to be added, if any
Maintenance practices, history and costs
Paving budgets
Other issues as appropriate
Prior to the kick‐off meeting, NCE will prepare a detailed agenda. Four additional meetings will be held at
appropriate milestones in addition to two City Council meetings. These meetings will be to discuss M&R strategies,
at the 65% level, the draft report and Council presentations. Monthly written status reports will be sent to the City
that discuss the work that has been completed and the work remaining.
Part of NCE’s value to the City is the information that we can bring and share from other agencies, and the results
based on tight budgetary constraints. We can share the perspective of our work in the California Statewide Needs
Assessment study, which included an assessment of all 529 cities and counties.
TASK 1 DELIVERABLES:
Meeting agenda and technical memorandum summarizing kick‐off meeting
Monthly Status reports
Task 2: Update Maintenance & Rehabilitation History
Prior to starting the surveys, NCE will review the current StreetSaver® database for accuracy. Quality checks include:
City maintained street verification
Limits compared to previous update
Functional classifications
Newly annexed streets
Maintenance activities since 2019
Populating the PMS database with recent maintenance &rehabilitation (M&R)
historical data is extremely useful for determining future treatments and
predicting performance of the various pavement sections. The chart provided on
the right is an example of a custom performance curve developed using historical
data. M&R activities, e.g., overlays, reconstructions and any surface seals that
have occurred since 2019 will be entered into StreetSaver®. The M&R historical
records will include the following information:

TASK 2 DELIVERABLES:
Inventory report
M&R history report
Task 3: Pavement Condition Surveys
NCE/märker will perform distress collections surveys on the
145 centerline miles of street segments as per ASTM D6433‐18
protocols. The evaluation of the pavement surface distress is
based on three components:
Type is defined as ‘What kind of crack or defect is it?’
based on environmental distresses (e.g., block,
longitudinal/ transverse cracking, weathering) or load
related distresses (e.g., alligator cracking, rutting).
Severity is defined as ‘How bad is the defect?’ in terms
of the measurement or degree of wear associated with
the condition.
Extent refers to quantity or ‘How much?’ of the
pavement is affected by a particular distress.
We have seen considerable advancements in technology over the last 15 years. The assessment of pavement
condition has seen a transformation from more labor‐ intensive manual efforts to high‐speed automated surveys
that combine the use of roadway sensors and digital imagery. Our team is well positioned to collect, measure and
map all roadway data with a sophisticated automated approach using LiDAR & pavement laser scanners. Our goal
is to provide accurate, repeatable and economical pavement condition assessments.
Our mobile data collection equipment and team can collect the following (first three bullets are included in our
scope and cost):
Pavement Surface Distress
Pavement Profiling (Roughness / Rutting)
Positioning Spatial GPS & Linear Referencing
360 Right‐of‐way digital Imagery and 3D LiDAR Point Cloud Data
Mobile Collection Roadway / Roadside Asset Inventories
Sign / Pavement Marking Reflectivity
Roadway Cross Slope / Grade and Curvature
Roadway Collection Vehicle System Overview
During our roadway inspections, pavement profiling (ride quality,
rutting), GPS, and surface distress data is collected continuously
and seamlessly by our pavement technician team using our
automated data collection vehicle. Our pavement distress
data collection process involves the use of customized,
integrated keyboards, and laser scanning which are all used
to collect the type, severity, extent, start and stop points of
all the pavement surface distresses. Collection vehicle crews are typically composed of a two‐person crew traveling
in the vehicle and the crews gather visual distresses and monitor the equipment installed in the van.

Street names, limits, lengths, widths, number of lanes and surface types will be field reviewed with functional
classifications reviewed in the office. Should there be any questions or variations noted, the City will be contacted
for clarification.
TASK 3 DELIVERABLES:
Updated StreetSaver® database with pavement distress data
Task 4: Quality Control Plan
Quality management practices for pavement management suggest that a one‐time inspection of the final data is
typically inadequate and involve a high risk of failure. We have recognized the importance to effectively implement
and ensure quality control and assurance practices on pavement distress data which is why NCE and märker have
teamed up once again. Together, we use a proven approach that integrates quality management and control
procedures throughout the entire data collection and delivery process.
The importance of accurate and reliable data cannot be overstated, as this leads directly to planning decisions (what
roads to repair?) as well as funding decisions and how much money is really needed?
NCE’s goal is to provide the highest quality work product for our clients. To meet this goal, a quality assurance/
quality control (QC/QA) component is incorporated into all our projects. For this project, Charlene Palmer as NCE’s
proposed QC Manager, will have the responsibility for incorporating the following QC/QA steps into our work:
Reviewing field activities, including spot checks on the field crews
Reviewing field procedures, making changes as needed
Comparing the field data collected with on‐site conditions
Reviewing all data entry functions, including spot checks
Reviewing reports generated and analyses performed to ensure high quality deliverables
NCE’s QC/QA Plan provides for a minimum of 5% of the field data to be re‐inspected by a different inspector. A
comparison of the distresses (type, severity, and quantity) will be made and at least 95% of re‐inspected sections
must be in compliance. Before the actual assessment begins, the NCE team will perform the following field QA/QC
steps as follows:
Field QA/QC Step 1: Correlation: The first step in this process is to have NCE’s
Project Manager, märker’s field manager and a field technician meet in the
field and drive a few roads and review some of the variety of pavement
conditions that exist in the City. This is required to calibrate the team’s view
of the various distresses.
Field QA/QC Step 2: Calibration: The QC team will conduct an independent
calibration of equipment used to perform pavement condition assessments
on the City’s pavement networks. This task is required to ensure that the
pavement data collected is consistent with standard protocols. Up to 25
pavement sites will be selected to the calibration. They will include a range of:
Pavement Types (AC or PCC)
Functional Classifications
Pavement condition or age
Field QA/QC Step 3: Re‐inspection “Checks”: A minimum of five percent of the sections will be re‐inspected by
other team members. Sections with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) difference between the two assessments are
flagged for re‐inspection. At the time of re‐inspection, the actual distresses will be re‐inspected and verified, and
NCE’s pavement inspectors have undergone a rigorous certification test through both the Orange County
Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) “Inspector
Certification/Testing” programs. These cover both ASTM D6433 and StreetSaver® distress protocols.

any corrections made, if necessary. Distress types and severities must be the same, and re‐measured quantities
within ±10% of the original measured quantity.
If corrections are required on more than 10% of the re‐inspected sample units, then an additional 5% will be re‐
inspected. This will continue until more than 95% of the re‐inspected sections meet the acceptability criteria. The
costs associated with additional re‐inspections due to a failure to meet the acceptance criteria will be borne by NCE.
Prior to the start of the field assessments, NCE/marker will meet with City staff to discuss City protocols for distress
collection. Lane closures are not required as part of distress collection. Typically, any stopped vehicles will be parked
in parking lanes, in nearby parking lots or on the shoulders, and will not in any way prevent the free flow of traffic.
TASK 4 DELIVERABLES:
QC/QA Plan
Task 5: PCI Report
NCE will process and upload the field survey data into StreetSaver® and the data will be verified and undergo a
rigorous quality check with any errors corrected. The PCI will be calculated, and a report will be prepared for the
City’s review.
TASK 5 DELIVERABLES:
PCI Report (electronic copy)
Task 6 – Budgetary Analysis & Draft Report (65%)
Maintenance Strategies: NCE will next review M&R strategies with City staff and include the recommendation of
appropriate treatments such as cape seals or overlays, and the determination of treatment unit costs. This will be
an appropriate time to review the use of new / sustainable treatments or materials, such as rubberized asphalt,
rubberized chip or cape seas, microsurfacing, rejuvenators, cold‐in‐place recycling, full depth reclamation, warm
mix asphalt, etc. NCE’s experience in pavement engineering
and design, as well as local conditions, allows our staff to be
able to provide the City with solutions that are innovative,
sustainable, practical, and workable.
Development of the M&R decision tree is a critical step in any
PMS update as it has a direct and significant impact on the
final work plan that is developed, as well as the budgeting
consequences. NCE’s experience in pavement engineering
and design, as well as local conditions, allows our staff to be
able to provide the City with solutions that are practical and
workable. The M&R alternatives are defined, a treatment
unit cost will be determined for each alternative. These
alternatives and costs will then be entered into the PMS
database for budgetary analysis.
The unit costs will have a huge impact on the City’s
projections or needs assessments. Therefore, NCE will review
any recent bid tabs, together with those from neighboring
cities as appropriate. Also, unit prices will be fully loaded
rates, and will include not just contractors’ prices, but also
design, inspection and testing costs.
Budgetary Analyses: NCE will then perform a Budget Needs analysis using an analysis period to be determined by
the City (typically 5 to 10 years). This will identify M&R requirements for each road section and determines the total
5.6.a

Page | 12
maintenance and rehabilitation requirements over the entire analysis period. This forms the basis for performing
Budget Scenario evaluations, which optimizes the street sections for repair under constrained budgets.
The Budget Scenarios evaluation prioritizes sections for repair under constrained, realistic, budgetary assumptions.
Multiple budget‐ or target‐driven scenarios will be performed after discussions with City staff. Examples of typical
scenarios include:
Impacts of existing funding levels.
Impacts to model drops or increases in funding
Impact of SB1 funds (estimated to be $2.6 m a year by FY 2021/22)
The results will be used to develop a multi‐year rehabilitation program that includes the treatment and when it will
be applied to streets. NCE will develop a multi‐year workplan for the final selected scenario. Upon completion of
the analyses, NCE will prepare a draft report for the City to review. The report will contain, at a minimum:
Executive Summary
Introduction and methodology
Discussion of software and setup parameters
Inventory of City streets
PCI listing
Maintenance strategies and costs
M&R History Report
Results of budgetary analyses
GIS maps
Multi‐year work plan
The draft report will be submitted to the City for review in
electronic format.
TASK 6 DELIVERABLES:
M&R Decision tree
Draft 65% Report (electronic copy)
Task 7: Final Report and GIS Update
Upon receipt of the City’s comments on the draft report, NCE will make the appropriate revisions and corrections
and will submit the Final Report to the City. The Final Report will comply with LA Metro requirements. NCE will also
verify the database linkage to the GIS shapefile and prepare maps to be included in the final report. Example
provided to the right.
TASK 7 DELIVERABLES:
Final report (1 hard copy)
One (1) electronic copy of all data via flash drive
Updated StreetSaver® database with GIS links
In simple terms, the Budget Needs analysis answers the questions: “If I have unlimited funding for street
maintenance and repair, which streets should I fix? When should I fix them? What treatments should I
apply? How much will it cost?
Simply put, this module answers the question: “If I only have limited funds for street maintenance and
repair, which streets have the highest priority for repairs, when should I perform the repairs, and how much
will it cost?”

Task 8: Council Presentations
Finally, NCE will prepare a presentation of the PMP update to City staff or City Council. The Council meetings can
cover a range of topics, from a short update to a more comprehensive educational/advocacy workshop, depending
on the City’s needs. NCE has recently completed similar presentations for the Cities of West Covina and Redondo
Beach. Typical maps to be presented include the examples below:
TASK 8 DELIVERABLES:
PowerPoint presentation(s)
Task 9: Focused Multi‐Year Work Plan (Optional)
As an optional task, NCE will develop a Multi‐Year M&R Work Plan; the PCI plays a role in treatment selection but
for design purposes, confirmation and refinement of proposed treatments must be performed as well as
consideration of base repair quantities, aggregation or re‐grouping of streets to maximize construction savings, and
separation/combination of surface seal or rehabilitation paving programs.
The criteria for various funding sources available to the City (i.e., Metro Measures C, R and M and local, SB 1, federal)
will be considered when selecting streets in the Work Plan. NCE will perform focused field reviews to identify the
following items for selected streets or alternative streets in the Work Plan (see example for Camarillo). The work
elements include:
Verify treatment type and project limits
Identify approximate base repair percentage or mark digouts
in the field
Identify number of ADA ramp upgrades triggered by proposed
treatments
Identify potential tripping hazards area caused by tree roots
or surface materials build‐up area near the pavement edge.
Tripping hazards area locations (house address or distance to
intersection) would be recorded in the field review.
Identify alternative newer technologies (CIR, FDR, etc.) and/or alternative surface seal treatments on cul‐
de‐sac areas
Identify excessive cracking problem and propose alternative treatments as appropriate.
Through performing multiple scenarios, NCE will generate enough candidate streets for grouping, consolidation,
removal of outlier, and determination of other conflicts. Based on the criteria agreed upon with the City, pavement
maintenance strategies and field observations, the sections selected would be grouped together geographically to
produce continuous sections for treatment and try to avoid inefficiencies with shorter and isolated street segments.

Pavement Management Updates and Asset Management System & StreetSaver® Conversion, Orange County, CA.
Project Manager. For the current five‐year contract with the County of Orange and its contract city Dana Point (over
500 miles), Ms. Senn is responsible for quality control of collected pavement distress data, updating maintenance
and rehabilitation decision trees and the treatment unit costs, and the development of budget scenarios and
summary reports. She works closely with Cartegraph, who is contracted data collection for roads and non‐pavement
asset collection. Ms. Senn works with County and City staff to determine unit costs, applicable treatments for the
seven‐year budgeting scenarios and development of the respective street sections slated for rehabilitation over the
next seven years. The County has just approved NCE for the next project for PMS updates 2020‐2024.
Pavement Management Program Professional Services, City of Newport Beach, CA. Project Manager. The City of
Newport Beach selected NCE to perform an update of their pavement management plan with current pavement
conditions and funding analyses to inform and educate policy makers, as well as to comply with the Orange County
Transportation Authority’s Measure M2 Program. The City owns and maintains approximately 205.7 centerline
miles of pavements.
Pavement Management System Updates & StreetSaver® Conversion, City of Corona, CA. Project Manager. Ms.
Senn managed the City’s annual PMS updates that included pavement condition surveys and budgetary analyses.
In 2012 and 2013, she assisted the City as they converted from PAVER™ to StreetSaver®. This included a review of
current functional classifications, generating a list of roads needing surveys prior to conversion and helping to define
information migrated. Since that time, she has collaborated with City’s GIS department to obtain a current shapefile
for GIS integration for StreetSaver®. She also trained City staff on the use of StreetSaver®, including database entry
and how to generate GIS Maps.
Pavement Management System Update and Integration, City of Santa Monica, CA. Project Manager. The City
selected NCE to update the City’s PMS in 2016. NCE assisted the City in selecting and implementing PMS software
that best fit their current and future needs, including the maintenance and inventory of City streets to determine
street maintenance priorities. The City’s entire pavement network includes 71.4 centerline miles of arterials, 13.5
centerline miles of collectors, and 79.4 centerline miles of residentials/others.
Pavement Management System Updates & StreetSaver® Conversion, City of Corona, CA. Project Manager. Ms.
Senn managed the City’s annual PMS updates that included pavement condition surveys and budgetary analyses.
In 2012 and 2013, she assisted the City as they converted from PAVER™ to StreetSaver®. This included a review of
current functional classifications, generating a list of roads needing surveys prior to conversion and helping to define
information migrated. She collaborated with City’s GIS department to obtain a current shapefile for GIS integration
for StreetSaver®. She also trained City staff on the use of StreetSaver®.
Pavement Management System Update, City of Chula Vista, CA. Project Manager. The City updated the pavement
management condition surveys and budget analyses. The condition surveys included more than 440 centerline
miles. Ms. Senn updated the maintenance and rehabilitation strategies and treatment unit costs to accurately
reflect the effects of different multiple‐year budgets on the pavement network’s condition and the backlog of work.
She provided training for City staff members in distress collection using the StreetSaver® MobilRater® software.
Pavement Evaluation Services. Ms. Senn has managed numerous deflection testing projects. These projects
included using deflection testing to measure a pavement’s structural properties by applying a load on the pavement
and measuring the resulting deflection. In connection with deflection testing, coring was done to measure existing
pavement thicknesses to determine pavement structural capacity. Coring and R‐value testing was used in
conjunction with deflection testing and visual observations of current cracking conditions and roadside draining,
core testing provides the necessary data to provide sound repair or maintenance recommendations. She was
involved in the review traffic patterns to verify the accuracy of traffic indexes. She managed and participated in
performing classified truck counts where necessary to determine these indexes.
