among other items. When activities slip from their proposed date of completion, we
collaborate with the contractor to ensure a proper recovery plan.
Figure 12: Completed Dog Park
Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Page | 23
LAE’s CM will ensure that the Contractor updates the Project Schedule to represent up-
to-date construction conditions and reflect the decisions made. Parties will be notified of
any deviation from the schedule, and noncompliance will be corrected accordingly.
The following are key approaches to having proper Schedule Control:
Proper communication with all project partners and design team, which includes the
impacted residents, business/property owners, City staff, LAE’s Construction
Manager, Construction Observer, support staff, Contractor, utility companies,
surveying personnel, Material Testing personnel, Labor Compliance sub-consultants,
and others.
Encourage project parties to work as partners in
project progress (e.g., Caltrans or other large entities
using a partnering approach), instead of acting as
separate entities.
Initiate/attend Pre-Construction, Progress, Field, and
Post-Construction Meetings.
Timely review and/or coordination of Request for
Information (RFIs) and response to Contractor.
Timely review and/or coordination of submittals.
Good Public Relation efforts with residences and
business owners. Considering the location of the
projects and the areas affected, clear communication
will positively affect the project’s efforts.
LAE team will discuss the projects’ Public Relations
needs with City staff at the kick-off meeting with the
City.
Keeping track of Rain Days, adding them to the
Weekly Statement of Working Days, and foreseeing
how rain days may impact the key projects activities.
Ensure timely utility coordination is conducted and
proper notifications are provided to impacted parties
(e.g., 72-hour shutdown notifications, etc.). Notices
to residents, businesses, and property owners will be conducted in a timely manner.
Review of Contractors’ Overall Project Schedules provided at the Pre-Construction
Meetings and asking for clarification for tasks believed to be done faster.
Review of Contractors’ Two-Week Look Ahead and compare it to the Contractors’
Overall Project Schedule.
Reminding the Contractors of potential Liquidated Damages, based on the Projects
Specifications, if allowable number of Working Days is passed.
Contract Change Orders (CCOs): LAE will review the Contractor’s cost proposals and
compare it to Independent Cost Estimates (ICEs); prepare CCOs, ICEs, Time Analysis
for CCO time extensions; and then prepare CCOs for the City’s approval.

Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Page | 24
Public Relations: Assist the City in maintaining a good relationship with the public. The
CM team will promptly attempt to alleviate problems and inform the City’s Project Manager.
LAE team will discuss the project’s Public Relation needs with City staff at the kick-off
meeting with the City. Grace Alvarez (fluent in both English and Spanish) of LAE will be
available, virtually or by phone, to provide Spanish translation, if needed. Public Relations
efforts will be made to address concerns raised by residents, schools, and the City.
Having good public relations with the public is important to any type of project.
Construction work is adjacent to private residences, schools, businesses, and other
entities. LAE aims to reduce any disturbance caused by construction. The Construction
Observer will be addressing concerns from the public and will work with the Contractor to
manage potential concerns brought up by the public, residents, businesses, and property
owners.
To assist with the public relations efforts of this contract, we will:
Listen to community concerns and adhere to them.
Work with the Contractor for timely resolution of issues.
Require the contractor to pass out fliers, as needed and approved by the City, about
noise, access, and construction duration.
Communicate with emergency services regarding any events that may raise
emergency calls from the public.
Provide information to the City to place on their website.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC):
LAE’s Quality Assurance and Quality Control
procedures consist of developing a workplan to
meet and surpass the project objectives and
monitoring project details as the project
progresses.
Our approach to managing infrastructure
projects is results oriented. This means LAE
takes calculated actions, proactively seeks
solutions on potential issues, and plans ahead
of schedule. To meet and surpass the City’s
needs and desires, the LAE team will thoroughly
review the contract documents. Prior to the start
of construction, LAE will have a detailed
comprehension of the Plans and Specifications
and Estimates (PS&E). The project schedule
will also be followed with the budget in mind, while preserving safety. The LAE team will
review the entire project: Comprehend and follow the schedule, be aware of the project’s
funding terms, and have a thorough understanding of the scope of work. LAE has
developed Construction Management systems specific to each project’s needs, to ensure
proper task management of projects.
Figure 14: Setting of Signal Poles/Luminaries
Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Page | 25
To have everyone on the same page, clear and prompt communication will be held by
LAE, the City’s, and stakeholders of the project. The Construction Management team will
continuously be accessible via phone and email during construction of the projects,
actively communicating and updating members involved in the projects.
Some examples of our established written guidelines and procedural checklists include:
Construction Management, Labor Compliance Documentation, Weekly Statement of
Working Days, Closure Package Development, and others. These guidelines enable us
to follow a structured format in the execution of our assignments. Our key personnel will
ensure field control, contract specification compliance, accurate contractor contract
payments, and excellent project construction.
LAE assigns staff to projects using proven procedures to ensure the City’s satisfaction,
employee growth, and innovative project practices. We bring on board key members who
have been employed with public agencies and who know the expectations and project
needs of a public entity.
Our Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures consist of developing a work-plan
to meet and surpass the project objectives and monitoring project details as the project
progresses.
Project Closeout/Post-Construction
We will schedule a final walkthrough with involved parties.
A punch list will be prepared throughout construction and
finalized after the final walkthrough, defining items needing
attention. The As-Built drawings will be finalized for record
Drawing preparation. Upon completion of the punch list
items and acceptance of the project by the City, and the
applicable City staff, and impacted utilities, we will provide
the electronic project files to the City on a flash drive or other
requested formats. LAE will collect O&M manuals, warranty
dates, and provide them to the City.
Contract closeout services will include passing on of the
project to the City and demobilization of the Contractor and
CM team.
We have developed a series of internal manuals to ensure
proper conduct on several types of projects with unique
needs. Our system of tracking project data and information,
using logs, databases, computer programs, and innovative
practices, will allow us to undertake the City’s projects in a
timely and efficient manner. The City’s projects may be

06:30am Arrived on site.
07:30am Tony B. of Mission Clay arrives on site to set up for the air testing the sewer man between
Sta.1+00.00 and Sta,1+86.12. Quality Grading and Paving was to be on site to remove the steel plating and
set test plug. At Sa.1+00.00 MH .
Shobie arrives on site to witness the testing.
08:00am quality Paving not on site, Mission Clay sets test plug, air coupler and hose to Sta.186.12 MH. The
testing sequence cannot start until Quality Paving arrives onsite to remove steel cover plating and install the
test plug at Sta.1+00.00.
09:00am-11:00am Robert Diaz arrived on site and informed us that Richard Diaz who was to be on the one
site, mistakenly went to another job. Robert was unable to operate the backhoe; Richard had the key.
Shortly afterwards, Richard arrived on site and removed the steel cover plating from the test MH and placed
the test plug. The testing began, the test sequence between the MH’s kept failing After exposing a retightening
all banded joints, the contractor still could not get the air to stabilize to continue the testing.
After several unsuccessful attempts to locate, isolate and stop the leaks the contractor was able to stop the
leaks and Mission Clay was able to continue and complete an acceptable air test.
I met with Shobie and was informed that no further inspection would be required until sometime next week.
