Cost Estimates/ Cost Control
Our standard software, PlanSwift, provides the flexibility to quickly break
out the itemized takeoff. This efficiency reduces the number of resources
required to complete the takeoff for each project, and the program’s area and
zone functions allow the estimator to sort the takeoff into multiple breakouts
with minimal effort.
As design progresses, the more detailed documents can be virtually overlaid
over previous ones, and changes/additions are immediately visible on screen.
This ensures that our estimates at logical milestones during design (SD, DD,
CD, etc.), can execute the later levels of design faster and more accurately.
When tasked with value engineering on the same project, our team members will go back and modify the original
takeoffs to determine the less expensive methods or materials to construct the project. The benefit with PlanSwift
is it allows the estimator to select the existing items and easily assign them to new or other existing conditions with
the click of a button.

Titan Properties 1&3 and 2&4 Structural Repair
Brief Description
The Titan properties consist of two two-story townhome-type buildings, Titan 1 & 3
building and 2 & 4 building, located at the Turtle Rock Crest community in Irvine. The
buildings are conventional wood light-frame construction supported by conventional
shallow footings. Structural distress has been observed at the two buildings since the
construction of the homes in 1989. The primary structural distress seems to have been
caused by differential settlement in the residential structures, triggering cracking of
drywalls, cracking of ceilings, out-of-plumb doors and windows, uneven floors, and other
similar damages. As the distress worsened and appeared to concentrate in the middle and
on the down slope end of the property.
Several geotechnical inspections/assessments were performed for the properties, resulting
in differing conclusions regarding the primary cause for distress and recommendations for
mitigation of the observed distress.
IDS Group worked with the properties owners/HOA to provide land surveying, civil and
structural design to strengthen the building foundations system, which consist of the
installation of caissons extending into bedrock to underpin the buildings, with structural
reinforcement consisting of beams spanning between the caissons to support the building
and other structural elements.

Damage Repair at Mapache Drive
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Diamond Bar Boulevard Damage Repair at Mapache Drive project
includes preparing construction documents for slope repair along Diamond
Bar Boulevard in the vicinity of Mapache Drive. A portion of the slope
remediation is potentially located on private property, which includes the
approximately 1.5:1 slope up to the City street and the HOA’s CMU block
wall at the back of walk. The project area is defined within the geotechnical
report previously prepared by Ninyo & Moore on March 8, 2024. The project
will include civil and structural engineering design, land surveying, landscape
architecture, and geotechnical engineering review services to support the
roadway corridor slope stability enhancements along 70’ of Diamond Bar
Drive in the vicinity of 21221 Mapache Drive.
PROJECT APPROACH
IDS’ approach to slope stabilization and necessary street and sidewalk improvements will be to focus on working in
close collaboration with the City with the following approach in mind:
• Kick-off Meeting: Attend kick-off meeting with City stakeholders to determine project parameters, additional
considerations, City needs and project goals (beyond stabilizing the slope), request existing documentation for
review, and a site visit to understand the scope and scale of the project, and understand the vicinity existing
conditions.
• Surveying: Prepare a topographic survey of the site, including the slope on private property. IDS will work
with the City who is assumed to approach the property owner to secure permission for conducting studies and
potentially erosion control and/or grading activities on said private property;
• Design: Design the slope stability system of piles so that the roadway users and private property owner will
be protected from potential slope failure based on recommendations within the Ninyo & Moore report. Design
of street sidewalk, curb and gutter, pavement and base, and existing landscape/irrigation will be performed to
mitigate construction impacts;
• Geotechnical: As geotechnical slope stability challenges are the primary focus for the project, we are including
Hushmand Associates, Inc. geotechnical engineers on our team to provide a high-level peer review of the
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
21CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
Public Works
Diamond Bar Boulevard
Damage Repair at Mapache Drive
existing soils report and provide any additional feedback during design as well as provide added reassurance
for the City that our team is working diligently to determine the proper path forward to meet the City’s overall
goals;
• Utilities: Provide design that protects existing utilities in place to the extent feasible. Nearby overhead SCE
lines are assumed to be protected in place, and handling other utilities will be determined based on as-built
records and utility coordination requests for facility maps. It is assumed the contractor will provide GPR or other
underground utility location tools and potholing prior to conducting soil pile construction. We are excluding
underground utility locating at this time, but can retain a subconsultant as needed upon as-builts review;
• Easement Documents (Optional): If required, this optional task will include preparation of easement
documents for construction access and maintenance easements for any proposed public improvements within
the private property. It is assumed that existing walls, slopes, and utilities are within public right of way or
within existing easements. This will require that the land survey identify existing easements and project right
of way based on available record data and title reports (title reports are assumed to be provided by the City);
• Bidding: Provide the City with design services support during the bid process, answer RFCs and clarify bid
documents as-needed;
• Construction Administration: IDS will provide support during the construction phase for responding to
contractor inquiries, RFIs, submittals, attend up to four virtual coordination meetings, and include limited visits
to the site should the design or site conditions require further field clarification; and
• As-Builts: Provide the City with as-built drawings to record the contractor’s field updates to the intended
design drawings for future reference.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1: Project Administration & Coordination
Task 1.1 Project Coordination: Includes management of the project team, coordination with the City and
stakeholders, and general project management tasks. This task also assumes a monthly virtual coordination
meeting as-needed for PM coordination and correspondence, and a kick-off meeting followed by a site
visit.
TASK 2: Research
Task 2.1 Record Research and Utility Coordination: Includes requesting
and reviewing utility maps, record drawings/as-builts, and other
documents related to the development of the project and
understanding of the historical and existing conditions.
Utility coordination includes research of Underground Service
Alert (USA) database to determine what utility providers are
in the project vicinity. Requests will be made for facility maps
of each provider in the database. A log will be maintained to
document responses and non-responses alike. Non-responsive
utilities will be provided secondary notices. The facility maps
will be incorporated into the utility base map files, which will
themselves be compiled based on available as-built drawings.

TASK 3: Topographic Survey and Construction Documents
Task 3.1: Topographic Survey and Base Sheet Preparation: Includes preparing base sheets for the project design
as well as the following elements by our survey team:
a. SURVEY CONTROL: Horizontal and vertical survey control will be established using existing
centerline monuments, benchmarks, and utilizing the City of Diamond Bar vertical datum (NGVD
29) and the State Plane Coordinate System NAD 1983, Zone VI in US Feet.
b. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY: Surface features will include full topo detail from face of block wall (at top
of slope) to back of walk at 20’ intervals (project length assumed as approximately 70’) including
crown of street within project limits, centerline monuments, centerline ties, asphalt, concrete,
edge of gutter, flowline, top of curb, front of walk, back of walk, fences, walls, gates, trees, paint
striping, surface utilities, manholes and any other prominent surface features for the purposes of
Civil and Structural Design.
The survey will apply predominantly to the travel way and sidewalk adjacent to the work area,
including the block wall at the top of slope, the private property slope down to toe of slope (survey
access authorization is assumed to be coordinated by the City). The opposing side of the street is
separated by a raised median and will only include edge condition survey data (no striping) at 50’
intervals.
c. RECORD BOUNDARY: The Right-of-way will be established from the Record Maps, utilizing the
found centerline monuments and ties. Record Right-of-Way is preliminary. It is assumed that
the City will provide title reports for work within private property. Applicable easements will be
mapped from said title reports.
Task 3.2: 60% Construction Documents (CDs): Preparation of 60% plans, specifications, and cost estimates.
Street design includes design for roadway repair of damaged street improvements as required for the
geotechnical remedial repairs. This includes any signing and striping, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and
asphalt roadway and base course replacements, and adjustment of existing utilities to finished grade.
Structural design includes detailing of a “pile- supported retaining system” as described and
recommended in the Geotechnical Report, consisting of a row of cast in drilled hole (CIDH) reinforced
concrete piles along the outer edge of the sidewalk at the top of the descending slope with reinforced
concrete grade beams as required. Re-design and detailing of the sidewalk and portions of the adjacent
CMU wall to match the current configuration are inlcuded. It must be pointed out that this structural
repair methodology will not mitigate problems, if any, on the adjacent private property.
Continuous coordination with other the City and design team, as required, to ensure that all
requirements and parameters in the Geotechnical report are met and complied with and any deviations
are accounted for in the design.
Provide a complete set of Structural CDs and a complete set of Structural Calculations to support the
CDs for submittal to the reviewing agency, and preparation of plan check correction responses as
required to obtain a building permit.

of the existing soils report and recommendations prepared by Ninyo & Moore. This is a not to exceed
amount for support of the IDS design team and provides the City with an additional layer of expert
geotechnical review in consideration of the primary project objective to stabilize the slope along the edge
of the roadway. It is understood that any further geotechnical work by the geotechnical consultant of
record may be authorized at the City’s discretion pending review and recommendations, if any, by the IDS
team.
TASK 5: Bid Support
Task 5.1 IDS will assist the City during the bidding process by preparing responses to bidder RFCs, questions, and
providing updates to the CDs for any errors or omissions. IDS will also assist the City with any bid addenda.
TASK 6: Construction Support
Task 6.1 Construction Support: Includes responses to contractor RFIs and submittals, and assist the City in the
evaluation of Change Order requests. Includes limited field meetings to review conditions that require
additional site clarification. Any design changes during construction may be subject to additional services
request provided that the design change is not related to engineer error or omission.
TASK 7: As-Built Plans
Task 7.1 Prepare Record Drawings & Closeout: Includes preparation of as-built / record drawing plans based on
contractor’s redlines and site walk punch list. Also includes project closeout, providing requested project
records and data (native and PDF formats) via DropBox or thumb drive.
TASK 8: Easement Documents (Optional)
Task 8.1 Prepare Easement Documents (Optional): Includes optional task preparation of easement documents
should any design elements be constructed on private property and are not within an existing easement
thereon. Easements may be required for temporary construction access, grading, maintenance, proposed
wall footings, etc. Corrective easements for existing conditions (such as utility easements, etc.) are not
included in the scope of services. It is the intent of this task to provide easements for revised project site
improvements on private property located at 21221 Mpache Dr.
