BACKGROUND
The 2020-21 Circulation Improvement Program, Phase IV project, will focus on traffic
circulation improvements for the Valencia Boulevard/McBean Parkway and Valencia
Boulevard/Mall Entrance intersections. The improvements will relocate utilities, as needed, to
accommodate the proposed improvements and modify medians, curb and gutter, striping,
asphalt, landscaping, and irrigation. The project includes enhanced circulation on McBean
Parkway (approximately 500 feet in both the north and south directions of the intersection),
Valencia Boulevard (from Mall Entrance to approximately 500 feet west of McBean Parkway),
and Mall Entrance north of Valencia Boulevard. This action provides for the design of these
improvements. The locations are shown on the attached location map.
In anticipation of ongoing and future development in and around the City of Santa Clarita (City)
and overall traffic increases, circulation improvement projects are needed to maintain traffic flow
in the City. The proposed improvements include modifications to raised center medians and the
relocation of existing curb and gutter to accommodate additional left -turn pockets on Valencia
Boulevard, left -turn lane extensions on McBean Parkway, and a median modification on Mall

Entrance. The modifications are based on staff s analysis of traffic volumes and observations of
traffic patterns at the selected intersections. This project supports the Sustaining Public
Infrastructure theme of the City's five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design of the project was prepared and posted on BidNet
on April 13, 2022. The RFP asked firms to identify their relevant experience with similar
projects and demonstrate their design approach for this project. On May 13, 2022, two firms
submitted proposals. Staff reviewed the proposals and, based on their evaluations, scored the
firms on a 100-point scale as follows:
Rank Company
1 Dokken Engineering
2 Encompass Consultant Group, Inc
Location Score
San Diego, CA 92
Santa Clarita, CA 87
The scoring system was based on the following criteria: responsiveness to the RFP based on an
understanding of the scope and approach to the required work and key development tasks, the
consultant's previous experience with similar projects and experience working with the City,
qualifications of the project team and their resources, and schedule for the work. Additionally,
each consulting firm was asked to provide a detailed scope of work required to prepare the plans,
specifications, and engineer's construction estimate.
Dokken Engineering demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a
detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They analyzed the existing streets and
identified key design factors that will need to be addressed in the design. Based on their design
experience with previous City traffic projects and the completeness of their proposal for this
project, staff recommends awarding the design contract to Dokken Engineering.
The requested contingency will cover design modifications, field investigations, including
potholing for utility locations and foundations, permits required by the County of Los Angeles,
and coordination with utility companies and other agencies.
While the City maintains a Support of Local Businesses policy that can be utilized by the City
Council when warranted, the policy only extends to purchases of supplies, equipment, and
services other than Public Works projects and professional services, such as architectural and
engineering services.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of architectural and engineering services
to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of
professional architect and engineering services based on costs. Staff opened Dokken
Engineering's cost proposal and negotiated a final contract at a fair and reasonable price for the
services requested in the RFP.

Ms. Marquez,
For over 36 years, Dokken Engineering has been providing "turn -key" project solutions for our public works
clients. Since 1990, we have enjoyed a long history of working with the City of Santa Clarita to successfully
deliver multiple projects along local streets and state highways, including intersections of various sizes.
Understanding the objectives of our clients while addressing the needs of stakeholders has helped us
successfully deliver nearly 3,000 projects.
We have extensive experience working on roadway widening and signal modification projects. In the past five
years, our proposed Dokken Team has delivered over 50 traffic signal and 100 curb ramp modification designs
through construction. Past projects have included modification designs to existing, as well as new, traffic signal
systems of various sizes and complexities at single and multi -lane roadway intersections.
The Dokken Team's delivery success and long history of completing projects and deliverables on schedule
provides assurance to the City that we have the experience and capabilities to deliver this project involving
multiple stakeholders and potential utility conflicts. We are uniquely qualified to deliver this project because:
Dokken has recent experience delivering roadway widening, curb ramp design, and traffic signal
modification projects with similar design challenges. We understand how to efficiently revise roadway
and striping geometrics then quickly simulate turning movements for various alternatives to develop the
layout that best meets project design and safety objectives. Our team is also adept at creating ADA-
compliant curb ramp designs with layouts that protect in place existing utility infrastructure and
minimize signal modification work.
Dokken has recent experience working with the City on projects that seek to protect in place existing
utilities, such as the Sierra Highway Bridge Widening and Replacement Project as well as the newly
initiated Bouquet Canyon Trail Project. We have a thorough understanding of City requirements.
Dokken has experience working near busy shopping mall intersections, and our staff is experienced in
navigating common pitfalls associated with stakeholder and right of way coordination that can delay a
project.
Our team consists of the same staff that has successfully completed similar projects. Michael Greer, our Project
Manager, brings over 15 years of experience with expertise in management, traffic electrical, and civil design for
transportation projects. He will be supported by a team he personally selected based on his experience with the
individual team members on current projects or those recently completed. Our approach is to develop well
thought out strategies at project initiation, which allows projects to move forward without 'surprises' which can
derail cost and schedule.
Dokken Engineering's mission is to provide superior service to our clients for all their traffic electrical and related
civil engineering needs. We strive to be responsive and flexible to our clients, which results in projects being
delivered on time and within budget. We appreciate your consideration of our proposal, and we are very excited

- ■ CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR VALENCIA BLVD,
MCBEAN PKWY, AND MALL ENTRANCE - PHASE IV
PROPOSAL #CIP-21-22-00064
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Clarita strives to maintain a circulation plan that has minimal delays by providing adequate
capacity and efficient traffic flow for drivers, pedestrians, and other public right of way users. Increased safety is
a derived benefit when the above is provided. The project includes two intersections along Valencia Boulevard, at
McBean Parkway, and at the Mall Entrance. Valencia is one of the City's major arterials, routing traffic to and from
1-5, located 1 mile to the west, and the areas north of the Santa Clara River. McBean Parkway, another major
arterial, is also a route to 1-5. Together these two heavily trafficked roadways provide two of the most direct routes
to the freeway and residential areas along with other major traffic attractors, including the Westfield Mall located
within the project area. The project seeks to improve capacity, with several modifications to the roadways and
intersections, thereby increasing capacity and decreasing delays. The major improvements include adding a third
left turn lane from Valencia Avenue to both northbound and southbound McBean Parkway, extending the two
left turn lanes from McBean Parkway to Valencia Boulevard in both directions, adding a second left turn lane into
the mall entrance from Valencia Boulevard and adding a third entrance lane into the mall.
Dokken has thoroughly reviewed the request for proposals and available materials, including performing a site
visit to take photos and observe traffic volumes and patterns in the area. We understand the challenges this
project will present to design, coordinate, and construct. Our team of traffic electrical, roadway, drainage, and
utility coordination specialists have developed an understanding of the key project issues presented herein.
Project Approach
The City has plans to widen Valencia Boulevard through two of the busier intersections at McBean Parkway and
the Mall Entrance. We have developed an approach which addresses stakeholder coordination, maximizes mall
access during construction, accounts for property owner coordination, as well as minimizing impacts to the
existing drainage and traffic signal systems, mature street trees, and utilities. We have included a Project
Overview Exhibit to better understand the project and constraints along this roadway widening, curb ramp, and
median reconfiguration project. Dokken's in-house capabilities include civil, traffic, structural, environmental, and
drainage services. Having all these capabilities in-house improves uniformity and efficiency of the overall design.
Based on our understanding of the project we have developed the following table to identify key project issues,
provide our team's recent experience, and describe the unique benefit Dokken brings to the City.

Stakeholder Coordination of Right of Way and Utility Impacts
The project proposes to widen Valencia Boulevard along the southerly limits of the Westgate Mall and reconfigure
the existing median and curb ramp at the Mall Entrance driveway. Our team has recent experience coordinating
similar modifications to the Fashion Valley Mall Entrance driveway via our Friars Road Widening Project at the SR-
163 Interchange for the City of San Diego. Mall owners added a third entering lane and removed an exit lane from
this driveway. The figure to the right depicts the traffic signal and curb ramp modification plan that was ultimately

facilities and propose relocations that will satisfy all parties. Coordination with multiple stakeholders on public
agency projects is one of our strengths since we provide early coordination and solutions to all parties.
Maintaining Roadway Cross -Slopes to Minimize Drainage System Impacts
The proposed roadwaywidening along the outer curb line does not present as much of a challenge from a drainage
and cross -slope maintenance perspective since the existing median reconfigurations to provide additional left turn
pocket storage does. Typically, roadway widening is done in the same plane as the adjacent roadway to maintain
flow patterns and reduce grade breaks across traveled lanes. However, when widening left turn pockets where
raised medians exist, this can sometimes present a problem when the remaining median has significantly differing
elevations on either side.
For this project we propose utilizing a grade break along the left turn lane stripe to carry the typical roadway crown
through the left turn lanes. This creates a situation where the left turn lanes drain towards the median while the
through lanes in the same direction drain towards the outer curb line. This is the current configuration along
McBean Parkway, to be confirmed with field survey and
topography file to perpetuate existing drainage patterns.
The addition of a second left turn lane at the Mall Entrance
driveway, from eastbound Valencia Boulevard to
northbound Mall Entrance, will need to be carefully
evaluated for the need of an additional catch basin along
the median. The existing raised curb in this area has a steep
cross -slope across the top of the median and any
modifications to relocate the median will need to account
for the elevation differences on either side of the curb.

along the segment calls for road widening to provide an additional right turning lane onto McBean Parkway.
Currently there is a curb side opening catch basin (Standard Plan 300-2) that would have to be removed and/or
relocated along with the pipe network configurations consisting of an 84" diameter RCP (under sidewalk). The
location of the 84" diameter pipeline is directly under the adjacent sidewalk which may be impacted by the project
improvements. The additional lane conflicts with an existing 34" natural gas line around the area of proposed
landscape/irrigation work.
Driving southbound from McBean Parkway, improvements include a median modification with the addition of
two left turning lanes and irrigation work. Currently, there is a grated catch basin owned by the City that is in
conflict to the proposed modification of the median that will be impacted and will need to be relocated. Referring
to Exhibit 1 and Figure 1, the median configuration and addition of two left turning lanes onto westbound Valencia
Blvd, there are (2) side opening curb catch basins (Standard Plan: 300-2) that are connected to an 18" RCP. The
pipework connection may conflict with the median modification and may need to be relocated.

have to be removed and/or relocated. Alternatively, an option
may be to create the new curb line with curb cuts to allow water
to flow to this existing drainage inlet, shown along the curb line
in the image on the right.
Our drainage team will work closely with our roadway, utility,
and traffic electrical leads to provide the best possible roadway
design that limits impacts to critical drainage facilities.

Minimizing Traffic Signal System Impacts with Roadway and Curb Ramp Designs
Upgrades to existing curb ramps can often snowball into unidentified project and utility impacts if not properly
vetted during preliminary design. Our team is adept at taking inventory of existing curb ramps and surrounding
areas to better prepare ourselves once CAD activities begin. Our project manager has a traffic engineering
background and trains his teams to properly account for traffic signal infrastructure from project initiation. He has
also spent valuable time in the field as a roadway and electrical inspector, giving him the insight and forethought
required to avoid costly utility impacts during construction.
Along with roadway and curb ramp improvements, the existing traffic signals will be impacted. Minor
modifications to the Mall Entrance traffic signal will be required. The McBean Parkway intersection will require
major modifications including the replacement of the
traffic signal poles for the left turn movement from
Valencia Parkway. Along with pole replacements, the
project will install new detection and controller updates
required by the City. Many specialty traffic calming
R countermeasures will need to be maintained at this
Jim, intersection, including video detection and closed-circuit
television cameras, red light compliance and emergency
_ vehicle detection, as well as "No Right on Red" blank -out
signs. This area also has a major fiber optic communication
R., trunk. Any affected fiber optic interconnect through the
corridor will be maintained or rerouted and respliced as
r Traffic Signal to be Modified necessary. Construction will be staged to ensure that
downtime for the fiber will be kept to a minimum.
With these improvements, the goal of the project will be met leading to improved capacity through the area and
these two intersections. Delays will be lessened and circulation enhanced. The safety of the intersection will be
improved leading to less redlight running, and ultimately, less collisions.
Vehicle Turns and Signal Placement to Avoid Path Overlap and Maintain Existing Phasing
With the addition of a third left turn lane for both the eastbound Valencia Boulevard to northbound McBean
Parkway as well as westbound Valencia Boulevard to southbound McBean Parkway turn movements, the City
requests to maintain existing traffic signal phasing that allows both left turn movements to go simultaneously.
Turn lane modifications will need to be carefully evaluated for path overlap issues, to ensure that vehicles will not
meet head-on in the middle of the intersection when making the turn at the same time. Our Project Overview
Exhibit included in this section illustrates a draft vehicle turn movement with larger trucks in the outer turn lane
and standard passenger cars in the two inner turn lanes. Dokken will evaluate different scenarios during the
preliminary design to ensure vehicles of different sizes in various lane configurations will be able to make these
turns safely.
R§DOKKEN Page 1 5
ENGINEERING
- ® CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR VALENCIA BLVD,
MCBEAN PKWY, AND MALL ENTRANCE - PHASE IV
PROPOSAL #CIP-21-22-00064
We understand that these two traffic signals have extremely high volumes for all left turn, through, and right turn
vehicle movements and that visibility of the traffic signal heads, and operability of detection equipment helps to
maintain a safe environment. Our team will thoroughly evaluate vehicle signal head placements, specifically for
the project areas where lanes are being added or shifted from current configurations. We will include in our
evaluation a review of vehicle signal head placement during construction and incorporate temporary vehicle head
placements on temporary traffic signal plans where needed. We will also ensure that pedestrian and bicycle paths
of travel are maintained, or detours provided. Access will need to be maintained to adjacent businesses
throughout construction. Thus, staging of the project and the proper development of stage construction plans will
be critical to ensuring this goal is reached. Full lane closures are not anticipated to be allowed due to the high
traffic volumes in the area, so lane widths and speeds will be proposed to be reduced during construction to create
adequate room for safe work areas.
Median Reconfigurations to Maximize Left Turn Pocket Storage with Minimal Landscape Impacts
The proposed project will shift roadway edges and curbs. This will have an impact on the adjacent landscape areas.
While generally smaller in size, some existing landscape areas will increase, while in other locations there will be
a reduction in landscape size.
To properly address and treat these areas, our team will research existing documents and conditions, confirm the
City's landscape goals, and prepare cost effective landscape improvements. We shall gather and review existing
landscape irrigation as -built documents to determine the extent of impact on the existing irrigation system,
prepare pro -active treatment solutions and review our findings and suggestions with City landscape staff. This will
permit us to prepare comprehensive documents that provide proper guidance to contractors in advance, and
during site demolition and construction. Additionally, we will determine the best way to expand the existing
irrigation, efficiently and effectively in new landscape areas.
Generally, projects such as this anticipate a "replace -in -kind" approach to landscape, which assumes a continued
use of the currently used irrigation components and systems. However, due to the greater need for water
conservation, our team will explore opportunities to upgrade the existing system in ways that would lower water
consumption and offer such improvements to the City. Reduction of overhead spray is one common goal however
some improvements may be beyond budget limitations at this time but might have options that could anticipate
future implementation.
Similarly, anticipated plant material would be expected to
match existing to the extent reasonable. High water
demanding plants should be assessed and alternatives that
require less water and maintenance should be given
consideration. The continued use of grass is being discouraged
in many municipalities throughout the southland to reduce
water demand. Our team will offer potential alternatives.
In summary, the landscape portion of the project is relatively
small, both in scale and costs. However, it will have continued
financial impacts to the City regarding maintenance and water
costs. We feel it very important to consider best practices and
apply good sustainable principles to the proposed landscape
improvements.

Traffic Control/Signing & Striping Plans I Dokken Engineering has prepared hundreds of traffic control plans for
various projects and agencies. We are familiar with the traffic control requirements, standards, and
permitting process. We develop traffic control plans with a focus on safety, while minimizing impacts to
the traveling public. Our team develops traffic striping and signing plans per the latest CA MUTCD and
agency design standards to support our projects.
Road and Bikeway Design Services I Roadway projects are an integral component of Dokken Engineering's
services. Our engineers design simple and complex roadway widening/extension projects, as well as
�. the required improvements to the surrounding area, such as sidewalks, bike and pedestrian pathways,
.; bus stop/pullouts and intersection signalizations. Our roadway projects are supported by engineering
staff from our specialty groups.
Structures Design I Dokken has successfully completed hundreds of structure designs, from rural two-lane HBP
bridges, to complex multi -level freeway -to -freeway interchanges. Additional structure designs include
pedestrian overcrossings, bicycle bridges, viaducts, and retaining/sound walls. Dokken has also
;, m"' provided seismic stability evaluations, retrofit plans, specifications, and estimates. Our structures
team has innovative and cost-effective design solutions which save our clients millions of dollars. Paying careful
attention to the details of a project's setting, along with client and community feedback, our designs meet the
unique conditions of each project.
Environmental Services I Dokken has an experienced in-house Environmental Services Group that works on our
roadway, bridge, and infrastructure projects throughout California. We have established professional
working relationships with federal and state regulatory agencies based on technical excellence and a
thorough understanding of regulatory processes, including: Environmental Document Preparation
(NEPA/ CEQA Analysis and Compliance); Technical Studies & Reports; and Environmental Regulatory Permitting
& Compliance. Dokken's hands on approach and technical experience have accelerated schedules for all
regulatory requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA), Sections 401, 402, and 404; the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); the National Historic Preservations Act (NHPA), Sections 106 and 110; the
Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), Sections 7 and 10; the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the
California Endangered Species Act (CESA); and 1600-16116 California Fish and Game Codes.
Drainage Studies and Water Quality Engineering I Dokken Engineering has staff dedicated to hydrology,
hydraulics, and drainage design. These staff members are experts in assessing drainage issues,
Nit conducting analyses, and coordinating with other disciplines to develop balanced, cost-effective
•solutions. Our group concurrently reviews the project improvements to determine the storm water
quality management requirements. Each project includes Site Design and Source Control BMPs and may
include Treatment Control BMPs. We engage the City early to develop proposed drainage and water quality
concepts that accommodate roadway improvements and correct any existing drainage deficiencies.
Utilities I Our team identifies potential conflicts in collaboration with the utility owner representatives and the
local agency and develop a comprehensive plan to ensure that all potential conflicts are verified. We
understand the importance of accurate utility mapping, positive verification of utility conflicts through
potholing, and developing conflict resolutions early in the design process. We work side -by -side with
the local agency and utility owner representatives, creating exhibits as needed to highlight potential
conflicts and resolutions for accurate designs that are compatible with the proposed project improvements and
construction sequencing.

HISTORY OF COMPARABLE WORK
Since our founding, we have developed an exceptional depth of experience and expertise, having successfully
completed nearly 3,000 infrastructure projects, including site design, roadways, structures, environmental and
right of way projects across the state. Our qualified staff has the knowledge and experience to provide cost-
efficient engineering for the City of Santa Clarita for this project. Dokken Engineering has worked extensively with
the City and is very familiar with City standards and procedures. In addition, we are well -versed in design
procedures, Standard Plans and Specifications, and Caltrans design standards. Projects Dokken Engineering has
completed for the City of Santa Clarita include:
• Sierra Highway Improvements and Pedestrian Bridge
• McBean Parkway Bridge over the Santa Clara River
• Golden Valley Road Bridge over the Santa Clara River
• Bouquet Canyon Rd Bridge Widening over the Santa Clara River
• Wiley Canyon Road Bridge over the Santa Clara River
• Soledad Canyon Road Bridge over the Santa Clara River
• 1-5/Magic Mountain Parkway Interchange Drainage
• Paseo Overcrossing Valencia Boulevard
• Paseo Overcrossing Magic Mountain Parkway
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Our management approach is to be an extension of the City staff and provide the City an experienced team. Our
team will provide the resources and tools necessary to deliver this project with minimal oversight from the City
staff.
LINES OF COMMUNICATION
It's critical that the project team receives confirmation of the scope, budget and schedule from the City' Project
Manager. This review allows all parties to understand the project scope and schedule and the submittal
milestones. In addition to monthly project team meetings, Dokken Engineering will keep the City Project Manager
aware of progress through weekly emails and team conference calls. This approach allows the City Project
Manager to provide any required input throughout the project development process.
SCHEDULE AND BUDGET CONTROL
In order to manage the three interdependent elements found in
every project — scope, schedule, and budget — it is necessary to
implement a sustainable project control methodology. Michael,
our Project Manager, will develop and implement the project
controls plan. The plan outlines the procedures for conducting
work, managing project resources, and reporting project status
and progress. The project management tools identified on the
right assures on time and within budget project deliverables.
These tools will enable Michael to provide a systematic
approach to deliver any project. All project participants,
including the City and Dokken Engineering Team, will be aware
of the project status in order to make informed management
decisions. Our tools and system are designed to respond to
these requirements.
Dokken Engineering prepares and maintains project schedules
for every project. The schedules are monitored and staffing
adjusted to meet milestones. Performance is monitored through
R§DOKKEN Page 1 to
ENGINEERING
- ® CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR VALENCIA BLVD,
MCBEAN PKWY, AND MALL ENTRANCE - PHASE IV _
PROPOSAL #CIP-21-22-00064
quality control checks, review of actual versus planned progress, completion of action items prepared after
meetings, monthly invoicing, and progress reporting. Dokken Engineering will use the City standards and formats,
making invoice review streamlined and familiar to the City. For our team, quality is not just a priority, it is a core
value.
Dokken Engineering has found that the best way to control budget is to ensure the project schedule is followed.
This method avoids costly over -runs and extended production times. The key to preserving budgets is to start on
time, get it right, and submit the deliverable on time. Utilizing the same design working group from the beginning
of the project to the end ensures consistent thought and engineering practice, while eliminating wasteful hours
spent "getting familiar" with a project.
The MS Project Schedule will be supplemented with a deliverables schedule that identifies all project deliverables
and submittal dates. The deliverables schedule is a critical project management tool because it specifies what is
being delivered to the client and when it is to be submitted. The deliverables schedule will be updated monthly
and submitted as part of the monthly invoice to report on the status of completed, in -progress and upcoming
deliverables.
The combination of the budget and schedule showing task durations and sequencing will enable us to produce a
time -phased budget. With a time -phased budget and a work -based method of measuring progress, a reliable
comparison on planned versus actual can be made.
PROJECT COMMUNICATION
As an extension of the City staff, Michael and his team will use a suite of communication mechanisms to keep the
City informed and to maintain the project schedule. The following diagram identifies the key communication
methods to deliver this project.
Weekly Internal
Team Meeting
Monthly Project I
Development Team
Meeting (PDT)
3 Focus Meetings to
Resolve Issues
Weekly Email
Update to City Agency Meetings
Dokken Engineering has long-standing history of delivering projects with multiple team members and
stakeholders, and we have established communication protocols that all team members understand. We host
weekly internal team conference calls to track progress and keep everyone current on project status and recent
decisions that affect their awareness and productivity. Our number one goal when working with our clients is
successful project delivery. We identify risks early in the process and develop ways to mitigate these risks. We
work closely with our clients to keep them informed on the status of their project and any pending decisions, and
we are extremely responsive to their needs.
QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
Dokken Engineering and our Team members are committed to the City of Santa Clarita in delivering project
documents whose quality exceeds the industry standards. Quality is not just a priority; it is one of our core values.
From the project outset, QA/QC procedures will be implemented in accordance with the project Scope of Work.
Our procedures incorporate continuous product review cycles during plan development, as well as a series of
formal review procedures completed for major project deliverables. The review of deliverables needed to satisfy
the QA/QC procedure is built into our proposed schedule. The following flow chart outlines our process:

PROPOSAL #CIP-21-22-00064
3. WORK STATEMENT
The Dokken Engineering Team, referred to as "Dokken" throughout this Scope of Work, will perform professional
and technical engineering services to prepare the construction documents and bid package for authorization to
award. This Scope of Work includes a review of the hydraulic and hydrologic designs, civil design, construction
cost estimates, specifications, topographical survey, utility research and coordination, preparation of contract
documents, and other related support services pursuant to the 2020-21 Circulation Improvement Program, Phase
IV (City Project No. C0064).
SCOPE OF WORK
We have reviewed the work statement and draft scope of work provided with the RFP and evaluated the need for
additional or Optional Tasks as identified below. The following is a detailed scope of services, roughly based on
the City's outline, required to successfully deliver this project with Tasks, Subtasks, and Deliverables (a.k.a.
Outputs):
TASK 1: PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Subtask 1.1: Field Reconnaissance
Dokken will obtain and review all available data developed as part of this project such as as-builts, available
geotechnical and hydraulic studies, infrastructure improvement plans, topographic survey, survey ties, City
benchmarks, existing right-of-way documents, City standards, aerial photographs, and any applicable previous
studies that have been conducted in the vicinity of the project site. Dokken will perform site visits and take photos
and videos to identify and record design issues. Dokken will maintain a project file to log all documents obtained
for the project.
Subtask 1.2: Document Research and Utility Mapping
Dokken will obtain existing underground and overhead utility base mapping, as-builts, and aerial photographs to
accurately map via a thorough review of available materials. This review will be supplemented by a field inventory
completed via site visits to aid in the creation of a Utility Conflict Matrix that identifies all above and below ground
utility features within the project limits to track any potential utility conflicts within the limits of work. Existing
base mapping will be requested from utility companies and confirmed via field site inventory.
Subtask 1.3: Topographic Survey and Record Right of Way
Dokken will coordinate with our Surveying Services subconsultant, Vertex Surveyors, to collect City control points,
run a traverse and level loop, and search and locate centerline and right of way monumentation. Proposal includes
site orthophoto drone flight. Utilities identified in the field review will be shot to supplement existing topographic
survey information, this includes surveying of existing curb ramps (8), traffic signal, storm drain, and utility
features within the project area. Driveways have been excluded from this survey proposal. Impacted trees will be
accurately located with diameters of each provided to ensure proper removal, disposal, and replacement per City
and environmental requirements. Right of way and property lines will be researched from record documentation
and compared to existing drawings to plot and field search positions to compile a record base file. Costs for traffic
control have been included as an "Other Direct Cost" (ODC).
Subtask 1.4a: Subsurface Utility Investigations via Potholing
Dokken will identify any potential utility conflicts or areas where additional facility information is needed and
coordinate up to ten (10) utility potholes throughout the project limits. Dokken will prepare a Pothole Location
Exhibit, identifying proposed pothole locations with anticipated facilities to be encountered, requiring approval
by the City's Project Manager prior to scheduling any pothole work. Prior to the start of field work, the locations
of the proposed utility potholes would be field marked and submitted to Underground Service Alert Southern
California, DigAlert, for utility locating, as required. A Utility Pothole Report, with photo logs and field
measurements, will be prepared by Dokken Engineering based on the work completed by the utility investigation
subcontractor (Taft Electric; to be contracted with as an ODC for simplicity in billing purposes). We will survey
each pothole location (ten potholes are anticipated at deep excavations for pole foundations) and update the
R§DOKKEN Page 1 23
ENGINEERING
- ® CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR VALENCIA BLVD,
MCBEAN PKWY, AND MALL ENTRANCE - PHASE IV
PROPOSAL #CIP-21-22-00064
utility base map and affected plan sheets to reflect positively identified locations. We will then revisit the
previously identified conflicts to update information and resolve conflicts through redesign as needed.
Subtask 1.4b: Subsurface Investigations via Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) (Optional Task)
Dokken will coordinate with a subcontractor with GPR capabilities to investigate potential conflicts with the more
shallow utilities, such as telecommunication, electrical service, and fiber optic that have average depths of less
than three feet. Due to traffic control required within these heavily congested intersections, we estimate two days
of field work utilizing GPR for markouts and depths.
Subtask 1.5: Geotechnical Coring Investigations and Optional Geotechnical Report (Optional Task)
Dokken will coordinate with the geotechnical subconsultant, RTF&A, to develop a plan for project geotechnical
investigations to account for requested pavement corings to establish existing structural section and curb/gutter
thickness at six (6) locations. Prior to the start of field work, the locations of the proposed pavement and
curb/gutter corings would be field marked and submitted to Underground Service Alert Southern California,
DigAlert, for utility locating, as required.
It may be determined that existing geotechnical data and structural section documentation already exists, or
potholing efforts may identify thicknesses sufficiently, thus we have made this an optional task to account for
estimated half -day of field sampling, required laboratory tests, and report. If requested by the City the results of
geotechnical field investigation and laboratory testing can be summarized within a formal report that would
include recommendations for paving associated with the roadway widening and median reconstruction that is
suitable for submittal to reviewing agencies. Additional sampling for laboratory corrosion testing and R-value
testing is not within this scope of work but can be provided as an optional service for additional fee.
Task 1 Deliverables: Documentation Logs; Field Review Notes; Topographic Survey Data and Base Map; Right of
Way Base Map; Utility Pothole Report; Existing Utility Base Map; Utility GPR Report (Optional); Geotechnical Coring
Investigations; Geotechnical Design Report (Optional)
TASK 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management includes project setup, regular meetings, deliveries, presentation of work products,
development and monitoring of action items, monthly progress reports, work progress monitoring, budget
monitoring, extensive communication, and coordination. Upon project kickoff a Project Development Team (PDT)
will be established to include City of Santa Clarita staff, Dokken staff, and any other agency representative as
deemed necessary to collaborate with stakeholders on the project. Dokken will maintain the same PDT
throughout the life of the project to ensure continuity.
Subtask 2.1: Kick-off and Monthly PDT Meetings
Dokken Engineering will coordinate meetings with the City to facilitate decision making. For each meeting, Dokken
will prepare the meeting agenda in consultation with the City Project Manager, provide meeting notices one week
prior to the meeting, arrange for appropriate participants to attend, prepare meeting materials (including exhibits,
task lists, and agenda), facilitate the meeting, and prepare/distribute meeting minutes within five business days
of the meeting. Dokken will consult with the City's project manager prior to each meeting to review upcoming
meeting items. The following meetings are anticipated for this project:
• Kick-off Meeting (1): To start, Dokken will organize a kick-off meeting with key personnel, design team
members, and stakeholder representatives. The purpose of this meeting is to review the goals and
objectives of the project, discuss each team member's roles and responsibilities, and identify critical
project issues.
• PDT Progress Meetings (12): The PDT meetings will be scheduled monthly and will serve as the primary
forum for reviewing the status of the project and identifying and resolving project issues. A Project

• Coordinate with the City and Stakeholders to obtain and provide all relevant information needed to
complete the bid package and prepare documents for Construction and obtain final approval.
Subtask 2.3: Quality Control
Dokken will prepare a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to be utilized throughout the life of the project. The QCP will be
utilized as a tracking and monitoring tool to assure submittal completeness and formally assign team review
responsibilities.
Task 2 Deliverables: Attend and Facilitate 1 Kickoff Meeting & up to 12 PDT Meetings; Meeting Agendas; Meeting
Minutes, Project Schedule with Updates, Progress Reports with Invoices, and Quality Control Plan
TASK 3: DESIGN
Following the kick-off meeting, Dokken will collect and analyze existing available plans in the area to develop a
database of existing facilities and improvements to be protected in place. Dokken will utilize one of the early PDT
meetings to consult and advise the City on required aspects of the PS&E package prior to making any final
development decisions.
Subtask 3.1: Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E)
Following the review and discussion of the entire PS&E package Dokken will prepare and submit a final design
schedule for the 30% Plans & Estimate (P&E), 60% P&E, 90% Plans, Specifications, & Estimate (PS&E), 100% PS&E,
and Final PS&E Submittal Packages to the City for input. A draft design schedule has been included herein.
Sub-Subtask 3.1.1: 30% Plans & Estimate (P&E)
Dokken will begin preparation of the project plans and estimate by developing draft typical section, roadway
plan/profile, signing/striping, traffic signal modification, and utility sheets to the 30% level of design with
quantities and engineer's estimate developed based on those plans. We will also prepare Project Overview
Exhibits to better illustrate the proposed improvements to any non -engineer audiences that will be reviewing the
project details. We will utilize AutoCAD for all drafting needs and preparation of plans, and we will provide
Autoturn analyses to the City's Traffic Division for concurrence with designs. Our quality control process will be
followed to ensure that all deliverables are properly checked prior to submitting to the City.

Upon receipt of the 60% review comments from the City and other stakeholders, Dokken will revise the 60%
drawings and will develop the additional plan sheets required to reach 90% level of detail. Development of a draft
specifications will occur at this design level to ensure all aspects of the project are properly accounted for. During
this phase of the project the draft geotechnical report and hydrology study with draft drainage report will be
submitted to the City for review. Dokken will revise the construction cost estimate and prepare the technical
special provisions (a.k.a. construction specifications) to reflect the revisions to the 90% plan set. Construction
specifications will be prepared using Microsoft Word in a format consistent with the latest edition of the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC); or specifications will be created for any non -covered items.
An itemized construction bid schedule and cost estimate with item numbers, item descriptions, units of pay,
quantities derived from a detailed takeoff, and estimated unit costs will be prepared in Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet format. A preliminary construction schedule will be provided to reflect the project plans including
anticipated utility relocation work.
Sub-Subtask 3.1.4: 100% PS&E
Dokken will review and respond to any City comments from the 90% PS&E submittal. Once all comments are
addressed, we will continue with the design effort to reach 100% PS&E. Dokken will prepare a revised, 100%
design level set of plans, construction specifications, and construction cost estimate with bid schedule. Any
changed unit items or cost from the 90% submittal will be identified to the City for clarity. Dokken will review and
respond to the comments on the geotechnical and drainage reports and will prepare or coordinate preparation
of final reports, studies, and calculations.
Sub-Subtask 3.1.5: Final PS&E
Dokken will review and respond to any City comments from the 100% PS&E submittal. Once all comments are
addressed, we will continue with the design effort to reach Final PS&E. Dokken will prepare a revised, final set of
plans, construction specifications, and construction cost estimate with bid schedule. Any changed unit items or
cost from the 100% submittal will be identified to the City for clarity. When the project is complete, Dokken will
provide AutoCAD files for all plan sheets via file share (MS-OneDrive) link.
Subtask 3.2: Easement Preparation (Optional Task)
Dokken will coordinate with Vertex Surveyors, to prepare Plat Maps with Legal Descriptions for project easement
needs to be stamped and signed by a licensed land surveyor. Preliminary easement needs provided by the City
have identified two Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs) and four Permanent Easements to be coordinated
during the design phase. As the final easement needs will be determined during the design phase we have opted
to make this task optional until the exact number of Plat Maps with Legal Descriptions is better understood.
Property Appraisals and Offer Packages are not included with this cost proposal, although our team can assist with
those right of way acquisition processes as an optional service if needed and requested by the City.
Subtask 3.3a: Drainage Analysis and Reports (Inlets Modifications)
As the Project will impact several City and LACFCD inlet facilities drainage analysis of the affected systems will be
required. For impacted LACFCD facilities, Dokken will prepare a LACFCD Catch Basin Modification Plan and
coordinate the design modifications with LACFCD. For City drainage features that are impacted, Dokken will
prepare a Drainage Report evaluating and analyzing proposed modifications. Both reports will be prepared to
document the hydrology and hydraulic analysis based on City and County of LA criteria and will provide a detailed
discussion of the existing conditions, post -project drainage patterns and conditions, results of the on -site hydraulic

analyses and any issues of special concern or significance. The analysis will reuse any applicable previously
prepared studies and design. A draft report will be submitted for review by the City for comments at the and will
be finalized upon completion of the Final PS&E milestone submittal.
Subtask 3.3b: Drainage Analysis and Reports (84" RCP Modifications) (Optional Task)
As the Project may impact an 84" diameter LACFCD storm drain in the proposed widened area along Valencia
Blvd., drainage analysis of the affected system may be required. Dokken will prepare and coordinate the design
modifications with LACFCD. A report will be prepared to document the hydrology and hydraulic analysis based on
County of LA criteria and will provide a detailed discussion of the existing conditions, post -project drainage
patterns and conditions, results of the on -site hydraulic analyses and any issues of special concern or significance.
The analysis will reuse any applicable previously prepared studies and design. Boundary conditions for proposed
drainage system outfalls for connections to existing systems will be taken from existing FEMA studies, LA County
Flood Control District, or the City will provide or agree to assumed boundary conditions for use in the hydraulic
analysis. A draft report will be submitted for review by the City for comments at the and will be finalized upon
completion of the Final PS&E milestone submittal.

Totol Easements Anticipated; 2 TCEs and 4 Permanent Easements); Draft and Finol Drainage Reports
TASK 4: PROCESSING AND PLAN APPROVALS
Subtask 4.1: Utility Coordination and Relocation Plans
Dokken will create a Utility Coordination Matrix to identify all utility agencies and facilities within the area, then
systematically contact and meet with each one to engage planners and request as-builts via a I" Utility Notice
prepared on City letterhead. Dokken will research and document via site visits, all utilities within the project limits
and update the utility base map. Second Utility Notices will be prepared for all utilities within the project area to
notify each of the identification of potential conflicts and request confirmation along with a check of rights of
ownership (i.e. cost liabilities). Meetings will be arranged as needed to gain concurrence of the proposed approach
to each potential conflict, and once in agreement, the need for utility relocation plans and utility agreements will
be identified. Third Utility Notices will then be prepared and sent as a Notice to Relocate to each utility with an
identified conflict. When agreements are in place and final plans are ready for bid a 41" Utility Notice will be sent
to each as a Final Notice to Relocate Immediately, or as needed before or during construction.
Dokken will coordinate with impacted utilities to resolve any constructability requirements and coordinate
preparation of utility relocation plans by outside agencies as required. Dokken will coordinate with the affected
utility companies to ensure agency requirements and specifications conform with the bid documents for this
project. Where necessary to expedite processes, we will provide draft utility relocation exhibits to illustrate
proposed relocation strategies.
Subtask 4.2: Agency Reviews and Approvals
Dokken will prepare and process PS&E submittals at specified design milestones to receive approvals from all City
Divisions including, but not limited to Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), Traffic, Engineering Services, Building &
Safety, Transit, Urban Forestry, Environmental Services, Street Light Maintenance Division (SMD), and Landscape
Maintenance Division (LIVID). We will create Comment Response Matrices for each review completed, to track
comment resolutions and coordinate with each reviewer. We will also coordinate, and track timelines required
for all plan checks from City Divisions as well as any outside agencies needed for construction permits.
Subtask 4.3: LACFCD Flood Permit

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT — DESIGN
PROPOSAL # CIP-21-22-00064
2020-21 Circulation Improvement Program, Phase IV
City Project No. C0064
City of Santa Clarita, California
SUMMARY OF CONTRACTUAL REQUIRMENTS
1. A contract is required for any service performed on behalf of the City of Santa Clarita (City).
2. By submitting a proposal, you have reviewed the sample contract documents contained within this
request for proposals and agree to be bound by the requirements set forth.
3. Questions and requests for modification of these terms must be negotiated and approved prior to
proposal submission and are at the full discretion of the City.
SUMMARY OF INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. These are the Indemnity and Insurance Requirements for Contractors providing services or supplies to
City of Santa Clarita (City). By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a proposal, you verify that you
comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. If any additional Contract documents are
executed, the actual Indemnity language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions
as deemed appropriate by City's Risk Manager.
2. You should check with your Insurance advisors to verify compliance and determine if additional
coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These
are the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to
adequately cover the Contractor's liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded
under Contractor's policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements
shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required.
The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits
carried by or available to the Contractor; or 2—the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this
agreement, whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and
coverage required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.
3. Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required
amendatory endorsements and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy
listing all policy endorsements to City before work begins. City reserves the right to require full -certified
copies of all Insurance coverage and endorsements.
I. INDEMNIFICATION:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, including without limitation Civil Code sections 2782 and
2782.8, CONSULTANT shall defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to CITY), indemnify and hold
harmless CITY and its officers, agents, departments, officials, representatives and employees (collectively
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without
limitation, economic harm, injury to or death of an employee of CONSULTANT or its subconsultants),
expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise from or relate to (including, without
limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and fees
of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation) that
arise from or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from: (1) any negligent act or omission
of CONSULTANT, any subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone that they
control; (2) any actual or alleged infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name,
trademark, service mark or any other intellectual or proprietary right of any person or persons in
consequence of the use by CITY, or any other Indemnitee, of articles or Services to be supplied in the
performance of this Agreement; or (3) any breach of this Agreement (collectively "Liabilities"). Such
obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee shall not apply to the extent such
Liabilities are caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall
apply to all other Liabilities.
The foregoing indemnification provisions will not reduce or affect other rights or obligations
which would otherwise exist in favor of the CITY and other Indemnitees.
CONSULTANT shall place in its subconsulting agreements and cause its subconsultants to agree to
indemnities and insurance obligations in favor of CITY and other Indemnitees in the exact form and
substance of those contained in this Agreement.
II. INSURANCE
(A) Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this
Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the following types of insurance with
coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial general liability: $1,000,000
Professional liability $1,000,000
Business automobile liability $1,000,000
Workers compensation Statutory requirement
(i) Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO-CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a combined
single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage.
Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92, including
symbol 1 (Any Auto). Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as
"additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed
"primary" such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such
endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 1185 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will
be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction
except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY.
(ii) Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage is
available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a "claims made
basis," CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of at least three (3) years after this
Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy
that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by
CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the
time this Agreement was in effect.
CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing
maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, including endorsements, and such other
evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time.
Insurance must be placed with California -admitted insurers with (other than workers compensation) a
current A.M. Best Company Rating of at least "A:VII."
Waiver of Subrogation: The insurer(s) agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its
elected or appointed officers, officials, agents, volunteers and employees for losses paid under the terms
of the workers compensation policy which arise from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.
Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this
Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's expense and deduct the cost of such
insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to
TERMINATION section. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance
requirements under this Agreement, City may terminate this Agreement immediately with no penalty.
Should CONSULTANT'S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to
expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation.
Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements
within 10 days of the prior insurer's issuance of notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT must ensure that
there is no lapse in coverage.
The CITY shall be entitled to any coverage in excess of the minimums required herein.
I have read and understand the above requirements and agree to be bound by them for any work
performed for the City.
