ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) is pleased to provide the City
of Diamond Bar (City) with this SOQ/Proposal for On-Call Civil
Engineering and Architectural Services.
TAIT at a Glance. At TAIT, we have provided innovative engineering
solutions to our clients for more than 56 years. We understand that
public projects have their own specific issues, and with 200 associates,
we have the right blend of professional engineers, architects,
surveyors, environmental assessors, and construction personnel with
the experience necessary to address critical and big picture concerns.
Since TAIT was founded in 1964 in Orange County, we have built
mature relationships with state and local agencies throughout Southern
California, and consistently create successful partnerships with the
agencies for which we work.
Expertise and Experience. TAIT’s experienced personnel
have expertise in the many facets of civil engineering, planning, and
design services including: roadways, utilities, drainage, surveying,
mapping, water quality, water, and waste water, site development, site
remediation, and fueling systems. We have extensive relevant design
experience, including recent projects such as nearby City of Diamond
Bar’s Citywide Drainage Analysis and Reagan & Peterson Parking Lot
Rehabilitation, City of Chino’s Quadrant III Water Main Replacements,
City of Irvine’s Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Project, and
most recently the City of Newport Beach’s Bonita Canyon and Ford
Road Rehabilitation Project. We have been selected as an on-call
engineering consultant for many public works agencies, including the
City of Norco, Port of Long Beach, the County of Orange, City of
Newport Beach, Lake Forest, and Irvine, to name a few within the past
five years.
Project Team. TAIT has a proven team of trusted sub-consultants
for instances that the City prefers we sub-contract the work rather than
rely on the City’s on-call consultants to do separate contract work.
Our tried and true team of sub-consultants consists of CDPC, Salas
O’Brien, KNA/RTM Engineering, and TAIT’s very own
architectural and surveying.
Commitment to Service. We aim to act as an extension of the
City’s staff and will place an emphasis on Customer Service which
has been and will remain one of TAIT’s Corporate Goals “To
Completely Satisfy our Customers”. David Sloan will be the
main point of contact for TAIT’s services and can be reached in our
Santa Ana office at 701 Parkcenter Drive, phone number 714-560-
8200 ext. 643, and email dsloan@tait.com.
TAIT accepts the City’s terms and conditions including insurance
requirements. All information submitted with the proposal is true and
correct. We thank you for this opportunity to submit our qualifications
and look forward to further discussing with you our capabilities and
commitment to working with the City of Diamond Bar.

In addition to the pavement analysis, design, and
implementation, TAIT was also responsible for
identifying sidewalk, curb and gutter, and curb
ramp improvements throughout the neighborhood
including the removal and replacement of 19 curb
ramps within the steep, curvilinear streets of Diamond
Bar.
Special attention was paid on this project to the
appropriate use and identification of patching
areas in order to maximize the City’s budget and to
ensure constructibility of the project. TAIT worked
closely with City staff to identify and isolate areas of
concern in order to ensure the City’s benefits were
maximized on the job.
Of notable interest on this project was the removal
and replacement of speed cushions throughout
Sunset Crossing which would not be compatible
with the installation of an edge grind and overlay.
Additionally, careful attention was paid to the
presence of existing utilities to ensure the proposed
roadway treatment was taking in to account the
required adjustment (for overlay) and protection (for
slurry seal) work items.

Newport Beach On-Call Engineering:
Bonita Canyon and Ford Road Resurfacing Project
City of Newport Beach
The project includes the design of pavement
rehabilitation strategies as well as the identification
and replacement of non-ADA compliant curb
ramps, sidewalk, replacement of damaged curb
and gutter, and the identification and adjustment/
protection of utility facilities.
Of critical importance on this contract was the
design and coordination of the improvements and
traffic control within the state of California Right of
Way at SR-73. The TAIT team actively coordinated
with the City and CalTrans during the review
process in order to obtain project approval and
permit ahead of the bidding date. Additionally,
this contract was complicated due to the steep
grades along the project limits. Curb ramps which
could not be made ADA compliant were identified
during the design review process and memos were
submitted to the City in order to justify the final limits
of the work.
TAIT was selected by the City of Newport Beach to provide civil engineering, surveying,
geo-technical engineering services on the Bonita Canyon and Ford Road Resurfacing
Project from Jamboree Rd. to SR-73. The project limits include a total of 2 miles of arterial roadway
rehabilitation on Bonita Canyon/Ford Road which a 6 lane arterial roadway with raised medians and bike
lanes extending through the City of Newport Beach.

The project encompassed a total of
6,400 linear feet of arterial/collector
roadways and included full depth reconstruction
of dimension drive and Civil Center drive and a
2” grind and overlay of Portola Parkway within the
CalTrans R/W limits.
This project required obtaining a CalTrans
encroachment permit for both construction and
traffic control purposes. As a result, further detail
and scrutiny was required on the design to ensure
CalTrans acceptance of the traffic control system as
well as the overall design materials and elevations.
This project also required further coordination
with IRWD, El Toro Water District, and a private
developer within the City of Lake Forest for
incorporation of separate engineer’s design
packages in to the City’s overall construction
project. TAIT was designated the lead
consultant to compile all plans and
prepare the required final technical
specifications and bid documents in order
to capture the required scope of work and design
elements.
The construction for this project is currently in the
final stages of construction and finish up and is
anticipated to be completed by April of 2020.
TAIT was selected by the City of Lake Forest to provide civil engineering and surveying
on a citywide arterial design project which included the design of the following three

City of Baldwin Park
TAIT was selected by the City of Baldwin Park due to their unique ability to provide in
house services, including surveying, engineering, architectural, and fuel station design,
for improvements to their City Yard. Those improvements include a total gut and reconfiguration
of the main Administration building, as well as improvements to the warehouses and garage. In addition,
the project includes improvements to the existing fueling station, a proposed EV fast charge station, and
replacement of two on-site generators. Finally, the parking lot will be analyzed for efficient parking of
vehicles and other equipment and storage as well as pavement rehabilitation. TAIT has completed the Phase
I Study, which identified the proposed improvements in comparison to the City’s available budget. Design is
now underway, with an expected completion in the Fall of 2022.
Due to TAIT’s diverse field of expertise, we were able to offer the City the major components of services
in-house, during the initial Phase of work. The design phase of the project will only rely on an MEP
subconsultant to balance out the remaining design scope.

Fullerton On-Call Engineering:
Jacaranda Neighborhood Rehabilitation & Sewer Replacement
City of Fullerton
In addition to roadway reconstruction and
grind and overlay operations, the roadway
component of the project included the removal and
replacement of over 1.5 miles of old, deteriorated,
and uneven curb and driveways throughout the
neighborhood with new variable height curb and
gutter in order to engineer and define the roadway
drainage conditions within the neighborhood.
Due to the historic and unique nature of the
neighborhood, the curb heights and flowline were
carefully profiled in order to improve the drainage
conditions while also joining the existing pavement.
And in addition to the roadway improvements,
TAIT was also tasked with the abandonment of
two old sewer siphon systems and the combination
and construction of a single master neighborhood
sewer siphon along with the removal and
replacement of 2,700 linear feet of existing 6”
VCP with new 8” VCP sewer. The sewer siphon
was design to convey sewer flows under an
existing Orange County Flood Control Channel
and required the design of a double barrel sewer
siphon that was installed via jack and bore method.
TAIT was selected by the City of Fullerton to provide civil engineering services for the
Jacaranda Neighborhood Pavement Rehabilitation and Sewer Main Replacement
Project. The project was located in a historic neighborhood in the City of Fullerton that included over
a mile of residential roadway rehabilitation and 2,700 linear feet of sewer main replacement within the

PROJECT CONTROLS:
Public works engineering contracts require careful planning,
effective communication, and precise execution in order
to avoid costly contract change orders during the construction
phase. Additionally, as this contract includes potential local, state
or federally funded design and construction contracts, it is critical
that the selected team have a thorough understanding of the design,
approval, and construction processing requirements for each funding
source and, as is the case for federal projects, the requirements
outlined in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). In an
effort to ensure consistent and excellent services on this contract,
TAIT will employ our proven 5 step project management protocol
(Understand > Assign > Plan > Execute > QA/QC) on
each assigned contract:
UNDERSTAND:
Upon receipt of an RFP from the City, TAIT will conduct a cursory
project review and will research existing conditions (field,
environmental, regulation, and stakeholders) in order to ensure we
have a full understanding of the scope. We will also meet with the
City to discuss the project in an effort to understand the City’s needs.
The potential scope of work under this contract is anticipated to
include local and state funded design services on contracts such as:
preparation of detailed roadway rehabilitation or widening plans,
pipeline construction plans, signing & striping plans, traffic signal
modification, and traffic control plans, project cost estimates, and
project specifications in accordance with City standards. Design
services may also require analysis of CEQA/NEPA requirements,
preparation of design reports for hydrology and pre/post
construction water quality documents (LID/SWPPP/NOI), review
of construction phasing and impact, and the analysis of existing and
proposed storm, sewer, and water facilities.
ASSIGN:
TAIT has in house expertise in public works roadway, water, sewer,
storm drain, surveying, hydrology/ hydraulics, pre/post construction
water quality control, architecture, and minor structural engineering
and analysis. Based on the scope of the project, TAIT’s Senior
Project Manager will assign a lead Project Manager and/or Project
Engineer to each contract whose backgrounds best matches the
needs and complexity of the project. Key sub-consultants such
as landscaping, MEP, and structural team members will then be
assigned to the project at this phase based on the needs of the
project.
PLAN:
We will prepare and submit a clear and concise scope of work,
project schedule, and fee proposal that includes all necessary
tasks to successfully complete the contract. Key considerations in
the planning phase will include the funding source (local/state/
federal) and associated permitting/ documentation requirements,
stakeholder requirements/needs, level of design detail desired by
the City (plan/plan & profile), storm water quality requirements,
coordination and meeting needs, and the overall scheduling needs.
EXECUTE:
Upon issuance of the notice to proceed, TAIT will actively and
effectively execute the scope of work for the contract. An abridged
summary of a typical project scope of work has been included
below for City review. Our assigned project manager will stay
in constant contact with the City and will remain available and
responsive to the City’s needs through the life of the project.
PG. 27
QA/QC:
TAIT employs our QA/QC program on each contract that we are
awarded. A QA/QC manager will be assigned to each project
to 1) ensure a quality design is employed, 2) verify all agencies/
disciplines are coordinated 3) check constructability through review
of PS&E at each submittal, and 4) conduct an informal engineering
cost assessment to ensure compliance with the City’s specific project
goals
RISK MANAGEMENT:
The greatest risk for delays in a project is the lack of foresight and
understanding of the scope. With our proven work experience, high
caliber staffing, and as a result of our 5 step project management
protocol, The City can be assured that our proposals are complete
and that our assigned team is fully qualified to design the project.
Each proposal to the City will be accompanied with a detailed
project schedule that outlines key milestones, permitting needs,
plan submittals, agency review periods, and utility coordination/
notification dates. TAIT will also stay in close contact with the City
during the life of the project in order to ensure the project remains on
schedule.
SCHEDULE CONTROL:
The Project Manager is responsible for efficiently directing the
team and completing projects within the established budget. To
accomplish this, the Project Manager must authorize and approve
all time cards, work reports, change orders and expense sheets with
the current modules of BST (most accepted applicable accounting
system).
However, in cases where a project design has been delayed at
no fault of the City, TAIT Management would reassess assigned
personnel to the project, and review effort completed to make sure
design is on point and has not deviated from the agreed upon path.
Meetings with project team personnel would be held to review the
project and discuss options to accelerate design without impacting
quality and the required deliverables. Additional personnel,
overtime, and assignment of more senior level staff would be options
considered by TAIT Management to bring the project back on
schedule at no additional cost to the City.
CLIENT SERVICE:
Our client service approach is to know and understand the client’s
needs concerning the project, allowing us to assist the client as
if we are an extension of their own staff. TAIT will follow a set of
protocols established in our Project Instructions which will include
the development of monthly progress reports (including schedule
and budget), meeting attendance and reporting, and a clear
understanding with the Client as to all Action Items that have yet to
be completed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY
CONTROL PROGRAM:
An important feature of our design process is our Quality
Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program. Mr. Broussard P.E.,
QSD/P, oversees TAIT’s QA/QC Program.
TAIT’s QA/QC Program focuses on the following four primary
objectives:
1. To ensure that a quality design has been provided by following
our in-house design checklists
2. To verify that different disciplines and agencies have been
coordinated
3. To verify that the proposed improvements are constructible, and
4. To verify that a cost effective analysis approach was followed
to achieve the client’s goals
TAIT utilizes a Total Quality Management approach.
TAIT’s philosophy is that quality control begins at day one and does
not end until the project is constructed.
Quality Control is the responsibility of each and
every team member. It includes the selection of project team
members who have demonstrated through experience the ability to
understand and apply the project objectives to achieve a specific
goal. It requires open and continuous communications between all
team members and the client.
TAIT has developed internal design checklists. Design
checklists are used by our design team as a component of our firm’s
QC process.
Timely Quality Control Reviews are provided. Before
plans are submitted to outside parties and the approving agency/
agencies for review and approval, TAIT’s QA/QC Manager or his
designated QC team member conducts a thorough review to verify
the quality, constructability and completeness of the submittal. A
typical TAIT QA/QC Program includes the following steps:
1. Project Manager (PM) Transmits Design Documents
to the QA/QC Manager - The PM initiates the QC
process at agreed upon project milestones.
2. QA/QC Manager conducts initial review - The QA/
QC Manager reviews the submittal with the PM to obtain
project specific information and conducts a limited review on
the completeness of the submittal.
3. Review of the Submittal – The submittal is reviewed using
TAIT’s internal checklists. Necessary corrections are identified
on the submittal which is returned to the PM.
4. PM to Address QC Comments - The QA/QC Manager
and PM review the QC comments to set a course of action.
Any proposed Value Engineering (VE) measures are reviewed
to determine the appropriate next step. The reviewed
documents are then returned to the design team.
5. PM finalizes Design Documents for Submittal to
the Agency - The PM meets with the design team to monitor
progress and verify incorporation of the QC comments into
the design documents. Any deviation from the QC comment
or the agreed upon action is reviewed for acceptance prior
to transmitting the final design documents to the City and other
reviewing parties for their review and approval.
