Section 3 – PROJECT UNDERSTANDING 3.2 Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES Structured Approach: We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable of providing the City with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies, including written manuals on quality control, project management, and design procedures for its staff and for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of the specific contract for the specific project. • Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires extensive hands - on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget. • Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner. • Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work w ith the contractor to develop recovery plans. • Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies, weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as well as pdf files. • Safety and Security: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements, OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce secur ity and safety responsibilities. • Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report. • Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from construction to occupancy. • Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. • Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project participates a common project information and file sharing platform. Project Control Systems: Project controls are essential to keep complex construction projects on budget and on time. They help teams and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before they become expensive, time -consuming problems. With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give leadership the data they need to set realistic expectations, manage subcontractors, and plan with confidence. During the course of a project, program and project managers use controls to monitor tim e and cost expenditures and compare them to project lifecycle forecasts. They also rely on them to coordinate onsite execution with the milestones established during the design, procurement, entitlement, and pre - construction stages. The benefits of project controls are many. When they are put in place and used appropriately, they contribute to increased efficiency, decrease in delays and cost overruns, and fewer claims and costly litigation. Our staff has experience with all of the major document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the Section 3 – PROJECT UNDERSTANDING 3.3 Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs. Value Engineering: Depending on a project’s size, complexity and the owner’s requirements, Value Engineering may also be considered. The Value Engineering may consist of a systematic process of review and analysis of the project during the concept and design phases, by a mu lti-disciplined team of persons not involved in the project, may include recommendations such as: • To improve the value and quality of the project. • To provide the needed functions safely, reliably, and at the lowest overall cost. • To reduce the time to complete the project. • To combine or eliminate otherwise inefficient use of costly parts of the original proposed design for the project. Approach and Strategy for Managing, Negotiating, And Incorporating Changes in Project Scope: Our approach and strategy are structured based on minimizing cost and schedule impacts, while evaluating change orders in a timely, fair, and equitable manner. Coordination with City: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. We will maintain and establish and maintain a close working relationship with City staff. We will manage assigned projects, carefully control costs and resources, and complete assigned work on schedule. We will provide progress reports to the City at regular intervals. Expediting Projects: Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite tasks, when requested, by the City. Transtech has sufficient staff and resources to expedite projects. Contract Administration Approach (Caltrans LAPM): For construction contract administration, we follow guidelines described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Maintaining complete and accurate files is a very important aspect of managing federally funded projects. Generally, whenever the local agency is unable to produce requested data or information, it is assumed by reviewing personnel that the required actions were either never performed or not properly recorded. Organized project files can minimiz e these negative assumptions. Organization and content of the project file is one indicator of effective and efficient management of the project by the resident engineer. LAPM has been prepared to aid California local agencies scope, organize, design, construct and maintain their public transportation facilities when they seek Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded federal-aid or state funding. This manual describes the processes, procedures, documents, authorizations, approvals, and certifications, which are required in order to receive federal-aid and/or state funds for many types of local transportation projects.

Section 3 – PROJECT UNDERSTANDING 3.4 Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING DB DELIVERY APPROACH: Transtech has extensive experience in managing DB Projects in compliance with CA Public Contract Code, CHAPTER 4. Local Agency Design-Build Projects. (CAPCC, CHAPTER 4. Local Agency Design-Build Projects [22160 - 22169]) Design-Build ('DB') Design-build contracts combine professional design services and construction services into a single contract with the owner. The owner selects the successful DB-team based on performance specifications (also referred to as bridging documents). The performance specifications define what is owed by the DB-team to the owner. Benefits of Design-Build: • Greater flexibility in the contract award process. • A single point of accountability (eliminates finger -pointing between designer and contractor). • Higher quality construction work. • Fewer change orders. • Fewer claims. • Faster project completion. • Lower project cost. • Greater cost certainty. • More opportunity for innovation. Appendix INSURANCE Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES Appendix - INSURANCE App.1 Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES If selected by the City for this project, we will appreciate the opportunity of having our Attorney discuss the final contract language to ensure our insurance is in compliance with current laws and regulations and meets the City’s requirements with the City’s Attorney. Following items may be discussed: • For insurability purposes, any duty to defend which is not expressly deleted or defined as a reimbursement to the extent of the adjudicated negligence will present insurability issues. • Insurance may not cover payment for any of the City’s’ defense related cost prior to a final determination of liability or to pay any amount that exceeds Contractor’s finally determined percentage of liability based upon the comparative fault of Contractor. Consultant should reimburse all reasonable attorneys’ fees as part of City’s total damages tied directly to Consultant’s determined percentage of fault. • For insurability purposes, one of the most important contract terms is to ensure the word "negligent" is evident in the indemnity clause. Absent a negligence trigger for claims, a client or owner could present claims with no allegations of negligence, and the professional liability may have coverage implications. Inserting "negligent" acts, errors, or omissions can help make the entire indemnity subject to an appropriate standard of care. • Many contracts use phrases such as: “arising out of or in connection with". This can allow the certificate holder to assert claims that vaguely involve our scope of services. By replacing such phrases with "but only to the extent actually caused by", the claimant must establish that the negligence was the proximate cause of the damage, otherwise known as direct causation, would be insurable. • For insurability purposes, we suggest limiting the obligation to only those parties with whom we have the contract, or who are in direct contractual privity to the project owner. • For insurability purposes, in the event of any dispute between the Parties related to this Agreement or this Project, we recommend that the Parties agree to first negotiate in good faith toward a resolution with participation by representatives of each Party holding sufficient authority to resolve the dispute. If such dispute cannot be resolved in this manner, before any action or litigation is initiated other than as required to secure lien rights, the dispute should be submitted to mediation using the American Arbitration Association or another mediator as mutually selected by the Parties. Such mediation should be completed within a reasonable period of time following either Party’s written demand with each Party to bear an equal share of the mediation fees and its own respective attorney and consultant fees and costs.”
