There are numerous firms that have the qualifications to complete the required scope items, however few of them have the low overhead to generate cost savings and man-hour efficiency for the benefit of the City. This combination of large-scale expertise along with small company responsiveness and focused attention is rare to achieve in the industry. We present to you Valued Engineering, Inc. (VEI) as this exact type of company. VEI was founded with staff having large scale expertise combined with a small overhead and focused attention, so as to provide the City with the means for efficient project execution. In response to the RFP, Valued Engineering, Inc. has developed a concise and well-coordinated team with versatile and proven experience to successfully deliver the proposed Professional Land Surveying Services for the “Pony Property” and “Sunset Crossing Property.” Having worked on projects of this exact nature for other agencies and developers, the VEI team holds a unique skillset that can provide value to the City and its residents. VEI is a certified small business with the State of California, so the company will act with nimbleness and dexterity, while at the same time has the organizational and institutional understanding of a large corporation. The VEI team will be led by Jeff Meiter, who has over 25 years of experience working in the public works, private land development and surveying field. Jeff has valuable experience with multiple cities and agencies, as he has worked directly with staff for virtually his entire career, so he will be able to effectively communicate and has the knowledge to lead the team and successfully coordinate the project to completion. The field survey will be conducted by Wilson Associates North, who has a vast history of design surveying and construction staking in San Bernardino County. Marc and Jeff have worked together for the past 25 years, both at a previous firm, as well as now together at the VEI team. A statement of qualifications for our team follows, which includes resumes of staff that will provide expertise in their designated fields. A detailed cost estimate is also provided, based upon the scope of work that was provided in the RFP. Our goal as a team is to provide the City with the tools to understand how the VEI will be the best qualified team for the job. We appreciate the opportunity to propose for work in the City of Diamond Bar and hope that we are considered a viable candidate to complete the surveying services for the Pony Property. Please contact me at (909) 982-4601 or email me at jeff@valued-eng.com if you have any questions or require additional information regarding this submittal. We look forward to the opportunity to assist the City on this project. This proposal shall remain in effect for 180 calendar days from the date of this letter.

We have provided similar scope of services to numerous local agencies in the past and are excited to continue in this field of experience for the benefit of the City. VEI’s approach to completing this scope of work in a time manner will be based upon three main principles:Communication, responsiveness and team work. Regarding communication, the VEI team holds regular Monday morning meetings where we detail the projects that are being worked on and communicate any needs or concerns that may arise. This communication aids in all of the team members working on the same page. The project design team works in a bullpen style configuration in the office, so continual communication is fostered. The VEI team will be in regular communication with the city regarding schedule and completion. Should any concerns arise, correspondence will occur immediately to confirm what the problem is and determine what is the best proposed solution. Time does not make a problem better, so the sooner it is brought to light and dealt with, the better. Responsiveness is paramount to the success of any service-oriented business. VEI will be responsive, provide correspondence within 24 hours of any phone call or email that is sent. We employ a two-down communication protocol, where all correspondences will have both the project manager and the project lead notified. This will allow for one to respond, should the other be out in a meeting or sick. Both Jeff Meiter and Kent Walton will be fully aware of the project conditions and will be able to speak to matters (as listed in the organization chart). Team work is what drives the efficiency of a project and its overall success. All members of the VEI team will work together toward the common goal of plan preparation. The VEI team has been working as a cohesive group for over the past nine years. Prior to the formation of Valued Engineering, Jeff and Marc all worked for Parsons Brinckerhoff as a unit. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and utilize them to leverage the best path forward. This synergy will translate into a unified team that works together to produce deliverables for the benefit of the City of Diamond Bar. Statement of Proposed Services The scope of work is primarily focused upon establishing the building blocks necessary to adequately understand what land the City has and how it could potentially be utilized in the future. Having a solid foundation of points and surface features allows for conflicts to be detected and accurate grades to be design and constructed at a later date and time. Having a clear understanding of the City’s expectations and being able to layout a project schedule with milestones is important to the project execution. Included in this phase will be the property lines and survey control, which will be based upon field monumentation and record drawings, as well as the acquisition of all existing utilities. This is a critical phase to any future project as the ultimate design is only as good as the background information it is calculated against. The following tasks will be completed in this section for each project site and will be costed separately. Effective Principles: Communications Responsiveness Team Work Professional Land Surveying Services Page 15 of 18 1.1 Kick-off Meeting with City Staff / Project Start-up / Monthly meetings:VEI will communicate with City staff via a sit-down meeting to finalize understanding and direction of the project. We will listen to outstanding concerns from the City and formulate a gameplan on how to mitigate those items. We will establish a communication protocol and introduce all of the key staff so the City is familiar. VEI will prepare a project schedule, based upon the findings of the meeting. We will provide regular communication updates. with project status and items needed. Deliverable: Meeting notes, schedule, quality control plan, communication plan, project status 1.2 Boundary Control Survey: VEI will perform a boundary and control survey for the project sites horizontal and vertical accuracy. Local monuments will be found and established with an assumed horizontal basis of bearing from a recorded map and corroborating field monumentation. Right- of-way’s will be calculated from record information and centerline monuments. Monuments will be set at the property corners and markers will be set at every 100’ along the eastside property line (against the residential tract). Easements will be plotted from City provided title report. Deliverable: Boundary survey exhibit, including survey control and right-of-way information. Deliverable: Markers set every 100’ along the adjacent residential tract boundary 1.3 Utility Notifications / Locating / Coordination:VEI will prepare utility notifications for all dry and wet utilities (LA County Sanitation, Walnut Valley Water District, City of Diamond Bar, City of Pomona, MCI, Southern California Edison, Frontier, Time Warner, Gas Company, etc.) that will be impacted by the improvement project and coordinate with any requirements for relocations in the field. A non-invasive underground utility locating task will be completed and the entire project site will be flagged for identifiable lines. Upon receipt of all utility files and field survey points, augment the design topographic survey file with additional utility information for a more comprehensive background file. Coordination will be made to receive no-cost as-built plans, as the requests will be placed on City letterhead. Deliverable: Utility coordination spreadsheet with notification entities and status report. Deliverable: Composite utility plan depicting topographic survey, right-of-way lines, and utility locations for the project limits. Option Tasks 2.1 Design Topographic Survey: VEI will perform 20-scale design topographic survey with 1’ contours at regular cross-sections (25 foot spacing) of the project site for overall drainage understanding. The National Map Accuracy Standards will be adhered to for horizontal and vertical accuracy. Local City/County benchmarks will be utilized for vertical datum with an assumed horizontal basis of bearing will be utilized from a recorded map and corroborating field monumentation. Right- of-way’s will be calculated from record information and centerline monuments. This task will be coordinated in concert with the composite utility plan for a more comprehensive background. Deliverable: Topographic survey exhibit of the project site Deliverable: Hardcopy (and “pdf”) of topographic survey map 2.2 Corner Record: VEI will prepare and file a corner record with the County of Los Angeles to perpetuate the monuments found in the field as well as the monuments or tags that were set. Deliverable: Copy of Corner Record to be submitted Professional Land Surveying Services Page 16 of 18 Safety Safety is of utmost importance to the project. It is the Valued Engineering way to begin every project with a clear understanding of what is expected – and safety is the first item on the list of discussion. The VEI team will comply with all local, State, Federal and CAL OSHA laws and requirements for the job. With any physical work in the field, care will be taken to provide safety briefings prior to the commencement of any work. Personal protective equipment will be required for all field staff, including a visible yellow or orange safety vest, boots, eye glasses, and a hardhat for head protection. The equipment will be required to be inspected for expiration dates. Each subcontractor will be required to outline their individual safety procedures and report back to VEI for coordination with the City. Daily “Tailgate” safety meetings will be utilized by staff for reminders of items to be aware of. When working within lanes of traffic, proper traffic control will be required to be installed and maintained at all times. The WATCH manual will be utilized for minor lane closures, while any multiple lane closures will require a full traffic control plan to be reviewed and approved by the City before it can be implemented. An encroachment permit will be obtained prior to the commencement of any work.
