Green Valley has enjoyed working with the City of Ukiah on recent projects such as the Gobbi Street Intersection Realignment and the Oak Manor Pedestrian Bridge and would love an opportunity to further our relationship! As a firm that has a vested interest in the Ukiah community due to over 1/4 of our staff having residence in the immediate Ukiah area and as evidenced by our numerous charitable contributions to local non-profits, we feel that we are well suited to providing responsive and experienced staff. Leading your Green Valley Construction Management Team will be veteran Construction Manager Gene Harris. Gene Harris has lived locally in Potter Valley for 31 years and worked for Mendocino County Public Works for 11 years. He is extremely familiar with local issues, environmental requirements, governmental regulations, property owner concerns and State and local standards. The Construction Inspector on the Project will be Rich Gordon, who has worked side by side with Gene for the last 6 years - both of whom are currently completing the Gobbi Street Realignment project. Both Gene and Rich are up to speed on the City's standards and would offer the City the benefit of experience, cost competiveness and zero learning curve! More importantly, both Gene and Rich have completed the CM/Inspection on close to a dozen of the recent ARRA Stimulus funded projects and are old hats at knowing the critical paperwork and funding compliance criteria needed to satisfy the Caltrans Local Assistance staff! In fact, they have successfully completed more ARRA projects than another team in Sonoma/Mendocino Counties! Handling the testing for this project will be a firm that Green Valley has worked with many times, RGH and Associates. RGH is certified by the State of California (Caltrans) to provide Independent Assurance testing, which is necessary for ARRA projects. We know that clear communication is key to a successful construction project. We will work with the selected Contractor at every turn to ensure his questions are answered immediately and submittals are reviewed and returned within the specified time frame. We work with the latest Primavera Expedition software to track the status of all submittals and requests for Information and can instantly generate updates for "ball in court" status checks. As a full service engineering firm, our support staff maintains the highest level of service and provides a range of bid and construction phase services, value engineering, constructability review, cost analysis and control, scheduling and claims management services. Again we appreciate your consideration of Green Valley for the Construction Management and Inspection of your Project. Following you will find our qualifications and scope of services and the associated fee in a separate sealed envelope. Should you have any questions regarding our proposal, please contact me directly at 707.579.0388 or on my cell phone at 707.326.5620. Sincerely, r~ Q r l- Liz Ellis, P.E. Principal . N..lt •r:?... 'n, it.;t .~s:~.•i. - t ~ , .•I1~• c .'I ;r{ I , PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING The City of Ukiah has recently opened bids on the 2010 ARRA South Dora Street Rehabilitation Project and is currently seeking the services of a third party construction administration and inspection firm, which will also provide materials testing services. The scheduled start date of the project is September 27, 2010 and work is estimated at 75 working days. The scope of work includes the removal of asphalt structural section to a depth of 5 inches, removal and replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalk, as well as pedestrian ramps and the installation of a new street structural section. Once the overlay is complete all iron will be subsequently raised to grade, and striping and pavement markings will be replaced. Due to the nature of ARRA funded projects there should be no excavation or any work beyond the limits of the existing road prism. Key to the success of the project is the correct compliance with the Federal and State funding requirements, and the resolution of construction issues through communication among all parties involved. Our proposed Construction Manager, Gene Harris, always conducts weekly meetings for his projects during which many issues, such as traffic and pedestrian safety and changes to work, will be resolved before they become unsafe or lead to costly change orders. All of Green Valley's construction inspectors are very sensitive to the impacts that construction can have on the local community, the residents and businesses. They have an excellent reputation with our clients for their ability to handle situations requiring diplomacy, tact and awareness to the various needs of the public. We believe that our proposed CM Team will give maximum cost benefit to the City of Ukiah. Our extremely skilled and senior staff will ensure that the project stays within budget and is completed on-time with minimal impacts to the surrounding setting. SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1: Pre-Construction Meeting and Photos Our pre-construction services will include logistics, coordination, and meetings with the Contractor, City, utility companies, Police and Fire Department, and any other project stakeholders. Prior to the pre-construction conference, Green Valley will review the contract documents for relevant discussion points such as public safety, tree protection, traffic control issues, and other miscellaneous issues. The conference will provide the project team members the opportunity to convey their agendas and concerns. We will discuss project safety and, if it is necessary, establish a public relations program for notification to local residents and businesses. Pre-construction services that Green Valley will provide include: • Produce pre-construction conference invitations, agenda items, and meeting Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Ukiah - South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection minutes. Agenda items include lines of communication, public relations, safety, submittals, change procedures, payments, progress schedules, contract time, requests for information, and other applicable items. • Pre-construction digital photos and video of the project site with particular emphasis on adjacent properties. • Set-up the project files in.accordance with the City's standard formats for administration. • Develop and distribute a project submittal log and discuss order of work requirements. Task 2: Submittal Management At the pre-construction conference we typically provide the Contractor with a submittal log of all required submittals and due dates. Submittals will be stamped, logged and reviewed by the Construction Manager for conformance with the contract documents. When appropriate, submittals will be forwarded to the designer for review. Once submittals are approved they will be distributed to the City, Contractor, and Green Valley Construction Inspector. Expedition or Excel software will generate and update a submittal log and track the status of timelines, approvals, re-submittals and "ball-in-court" status at various times during the review process. Submittals will be filed by submittal number. Task 3: Schedule Management Once Green Valley receives the initial construction schedule from the Contractor, it will be reviewed for accuracy and reasonableness. We will verify that it meets order of work, and contract requirements in the Special Provisions. Progress schedules will be reviewed weekly to ensure the Contractor is meeting the critical dates. If the Contractor fails to meet critical dates, we will immediately address this and provide solutions to get back on schedule. Schedule updates may be required once a month or more. Weekly statements of working days will be issued with care determining the controlling item of work. We will negotiate any time extensions for the Contractor due to change orders, weather, or other delays. We may maintain an as-built progress schedule. Task 4: Daily Field Inspection and Documentation Green Valley will provide daily, on-site inspections of the construction activities to ensure that the contract work conforms to the contract documents and the City of Ukiah's Design and Construction Standards. The on-site inspector will provide documentation of the work via daily inspection reports. The inspection reports include documentation of construction activities, proposed change orders and notice of potential claims, critical conversations, safety issues and accidents, extra work in progress, materials testing performed, information for as-built drawings, quantities for progress payments, environmental concerns, and visitors to the project site. Daily inspection reports will be submitted to the City on a weekly basis for the previous weeks' work. Green Valley will also document the work in progress Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Ukiah - South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection Green Valley Consulting Engineers with digital photos and video. Photos and videos will be submitted to the City on a monthly basis. Other important tasks of the on-site inspector include public relations, safety, and keeping the City informed of work progress. We will be responsible for verifying compliance with the Water Pollution Control Program. Green Valley will monitor the Contractor for compliance with the contract documents and will recommend a course of action to the City if required measures are not met by the Contractor. Task 5: Requests for Information (RFI's) The Contractor will be required to submit all Requests for Information (RFIs) in writing. Using Expedition software, Green Valley's Construction Manager will generate an RFI form that has the request or question on top and the Construction Manager's answer on the bottom. There will be some cases where the Construction Manager will need to consult with the designer or the City. The Construction Manager will ensure that the designer responds to the RFI in a timely manner. If the RFI results in a change order, it is linked into the change order log using this software. The Construction Manager will generate an RFI log that lists the ball-in- court, status, description, and if the RFI results in a potential change order. It should be noted that most questions or issues can be resolved at the progress meetings. Task 6: Construction Management and Federal Requirements Our Construction Manager will oversee the 2010 ARRA South Dora Street Rehabilitation Project and ensure that the construction and contract administration is performed in compliance with the project plans and specifications. In addition to full compliance and reporting following the Caltrans Local Assistance Program as per Chapter Chapters 15 - Advertise and Award, Chapter 16 - Administration of Construction Contracts, and Chapter 17 - Project Completion/Closeout. Gene, assisted by Joe Gaffney, will be will be responsible for the following items, at a minimum: • Project progress. • Progress meeting facilitation. • Weekly and monthly management summary reports, including Daily Resident Engineer Report. • Monthly pay requests. • Verification of Contractor's use of DBE subcontractors. • Onsite interviews and check for certified payroll compliance. It is important to note that a significant amount of time is required for project close- out on the necessary forms to ensure the necessary requirements for funding are met. We have been responsible for the federal reporting and compliance, as well as the construction management/inspection for the majority of the ARRA funded overlays in Sonoma County - working with most of the municipalities, including Marin and Mendocino Counties. With this experience we cannot stress enough the City of Ukiah - South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection Construction Manager Gene Harris in the field. Green Valley has recently completed Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Soda Bay Road Realignment Project for the County of Lake. need and importance of continually working with Caltrans to ensure that the latest forms and reports are being used so that there are no delays in payment or funding. Task 7: Change Order Management In addition to reviewing the bid documents and field conditions, our Construction Manager will use RFI logs, field directive logs, potential change order logs, meeting minutes, and discussions with City representatives, to determine if a change order is warranted. If a change order is warranted, our Construction Manager will negotiate with the Contractor (with the City's approval) to produce the best construction method at the lowest cost. If a change order requires input from the design engineer, our Construction Manager will coordinate to ensure it is reviewed. The Construction Manager will also determine if added contract time is warranted as a result of the change order. Unless the City desires their own format, the change order is generated with our Construction Management software with the appropriate City Contractor and Green Valley signature lines. A change order log is created that shows change order number, description, status, approved date, start and completion dates and cost. Task 8: Payment Management The Construction Manager will request a breakdown of lump sum bid items from the Contractor if required by tfie contract specifications. The Construction Manager will check if there are maximum bid amounts for certain lump sum items and the requirements regarding payment for materials on hand. Green Valley's inspector will field measure and record quantities of work, materials and change order pay records and turn in to the Construction Manager. On a monthly basis, Green Valley will check quantities and prepare payment recommendations to the City using Expedition software or City formats. Task 9: Progress Meetings Green Valley will conduct utility coordination meetings (if required) and progress meetings including preparing invitations, agenda and minutes. The progress meetings will include discussions of progress schedules, delays to the work, changes, pay estimates, public relations, safety, submittals, RFIs and other critical issues. You can be assured that we will always work to foster honest, open communication at these weekly meetings which helps in timely resolution of any disputes and/or potential claims. Task 10: Public Relations and Notifications The area residents are always a major focus of any project, and a Public Relations (PR) program will be implemented at the start of the project if required by the County. A successful PR program will address the various questions and concerns of both the immediate neighborhood and keep public officials and stakeholders apprised of key project construction details throughout the life of the project. Services will be a combination of the following: • Prepare and distribute public notification to Police and Fire via the designated Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Ukiah • South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection Utility manhole being raised with "raise- to-grade" equipment. Green Valley recently completed the Construction Management and Inspection for the East Cotati Avenue Reconstruction Project. Public Safety representative(s), United States Post Office, Waste Management company, Transit companies and others as required. • Prepare information for press releases as required. • Conduct public informational meetings if required. • Log and respond to any complaints in a timely manner. • Record the Contractor's activities as they relate to public safety, public convenience, and to ensure that the Contractor provides the required notifications. Task 11: Reporting We know how important it is to keep the City informed regarding public relations, progress of the work and costs of the project. We are committed to this process and will document all construction issues with the following reports: • Progress meeting minutes. • Weekly construction summary (if desired). • Monthly status report which will provide the City with information on construction activities for the month, change order cost summary, pay estimate cost summary and contract time summary. • E-mail Correspondence: The Construction Manager will be in contact with our Inspector on a daily basis, and will copy the City's designated staff member via e-mail on all critical issues. Task 12: Materials Testing Green Valley will provide any needed materials testing services via our subconsultant, RGH Geotechnical Consultants. RGH will provide Caltrans certified technicians to perform compaction testing services, as needed. Our testing services will be supported by and under the supervision of a Principal Geotechncial Engineer (GE). Green Valley will provide any needed construction staking services which are not anticipated. Our-survey crew is well versed in the Caltrans Standards for Construction Surveying and will provide responsive, accurate staking based on the Contractor's request. Our experience with the type of projects under consideration is that our services will not be required. We have,included a fee for RGH, a Caltrans certified laboratory. RGH has worked with Green Valley on numerous projects in this capacity, offering the City a "well- oiled" and efficient team with no learning curve between team members. With Green Valley providing the needed support services there is heightened awareness of providing a timely and correct product, as anything less will reflect poorly on all areas of the firm and impact our construction team in the field. Task 13: Closeout and Record Drawings We will work with the City and the Contractor to keep a record set of drawings to Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Ukiah - South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection Green Valley designed ADA accessible pedestrian curb ramps with truncated dome panels for the City of Fort Bragg Downtown Streetscape project. document changes and as-built conditions of original design plans. Once construction is completed to the satisfaction of the City, we will compile all pertinent files and related information and submit to the City for their permanent records. We will coordinate with the Inspector to furnish the City the following: • Record drawings. • Project photos. • All contract files and records. • Electronic files in CD format Task 14: Post-Construction Meeting Following completion of the project, Green Valley will be responsible for organizing and conducting a post-construction meeting. The agenda will address all documentation necessary for final closeout and payment, and obligations necessary for contract closure, as well as any funding requirements. Recommendations for improvement will be made and incorporated into future projects. Meeting minutes will be prepared and distributed to all parties.

(June 1997) Using Reclaimed Water for Vineyard Irrigation. Sonoma County Water Agency AWWA/Wateruse Conference. (June 2000) Green Valley Consulting Engineers Laguna Force Main Replacement, City of Sebastopol. This project required the replacement of 6,000 linear feet of 14" diameter sewer force main thru some of the most ecologically sensitive habitat in Sonoma County. Liz worked with over 5 permitting agencies, State politicians and local environmental- ists to successfully incorporate trenchless pipeline construction methods with horizontal directional drilling under the wetlands, jacking and boring under State Highway 12 adjacent to the pristine Laguna de Santa Rosa, and utilizing a cutting edge vortex flow insert to reduce hydrogen sulfide corrosion. The project was designed in two phases to allow for the force main to remain in service while new sections were constructed and/or rehabilitated. On-going dialogue with permitting officials and the community was crucial in the timely and successful completion of this project. Mendocino Avenue Water and Sewer Main Replacement, City of Santa Rosa. Liz was Project Manager for extensive reconstruction project which included replacement of 100-year old water and sewer mains and upgrading of 12" sewer mains with new fire services on a 4 lane major thoroughfare through 4 signalized intersections. Street reconstruction included stamped and colored asphalt concrete at key intersections and ADA upgrades of pedestrian ramps at all intersections. Downtown Streetscape and Franklin Street Reconstruction, City of Fort Bragg. Recipient of the 2009 ACEC Engineering Excellence Award. Recognized by her peers for her engineering excellence, Liz worked with key stakeholders and elected officials to successfully implement a Streetscape Masterplan for over 6 city blocks of the core downtown area. The renovation focused on roadway reconstruction, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle access solutions, addressing parking concerns, and implementa- tion of hardscape/landscape beautification concepts. Her Project Manager role included extensive public outreach with public workshops, monthly meetings with various downtown business groups and on-going dialogue with businesses and residents. "Some engineers have a preconceived idea of what a design or plan should be - I prefer to look at the project as a piece of art. Rather than design from a rigid set of rules and standards, I like to work with my clients to develop new rules and give them an inspired and dynamic product at the end of the process.

AFFILIATIONS: o CSI Construction Specifications Institute o APWA American Public.Works Association o CELSOC Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California Green Valley Consulting Engineers City of Ukiah - South Dora Street Rehabilitation Construction Management and Inspection PROJECT STAFFING AND FEE PROPOSAL Our fee estimate is based on 75 working days and a part-time construction manager at 3 hours per day and a full-time inspector. We are more than willing to discuss our fee and associated scope of work, including all subconsultants, as neces- sary to meet the City of Ukiah's goal for this project. We have also included a fee estimate based on a 50 working day contract with the Contractor. We understand that this has not been formally discussed with the selected Contractor, but we believe that there is a possibility for the work to be performed in less than the advertised 75 days, based on our experience with similar projects. Consequently, we have prepared a second estimate based on reduced working days for your consideration. If the Contractor requires more than the 50 working days, but less than 75 working days, the City can increase our estimated fee from the 50 working days by $1,235 for each and every working day above the 50.
