Award the engineering design and construction support services contract to Pavement Engineering, Inc., for the 2024-25 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program, Project MO157, in the amount of $709,820, and authorize a contingency in the amount of $106,473, for a total contract amount not to exceed $816,293. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to three annual renewal options not to exceed the base annual contract, inclusive of contingency, plus any adjustment consistent with the appropriate Consumer Price Index. 3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) is responsible for maintaining 1,301 lane miles of streets. The Overlay and Slurry Seal Program is an integral part of the City's efforts to maintain our street and roadway system. The Overlay and Slurry Seal Program improves streets Citywide with various treatments ranging from a full overlay with new asphalt to slurry coating. These treatments enhance the structural properties of the roadway and increase pavement life. This results in a smoother and safer ride for vehicles, an enhanced appearance of the roadway and surrounding areas, and an extended life of the roadway. Each year, streets are studied and tested to identify those needing treatment. Accordingly, streets are selected using field evaluations by the engineer, the information contained in the Pavement Management System, and the City's Five -Year Pavement Plan. This project supports the Sustaining Public Page 1 Packet Pg. 341 Infrastructure theme of the City's five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025. The scope of work for this engineering design and construction support services contract includes the preparation of conceptual design details and complete plans, specifications, and estimates required to prepare construction documents, and to provide construction support services for the project. Bid assistance will also be provided to support the solicitation for the construction contracts. The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide design services and construction support services for the 2024-25 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program. The RFP was published and circulated via the City's e-procurement system, BidNet, on October 1, 2024. The City transmitted the solicitation to 3,131 vendors on BidNet, of which 64 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of three companies provided proposals for consideration. These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company's ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works department, scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria: • Recent experience in similar projects (20 points) • Schedule and availability (20 points) • Quality of proposal materials/proposed services in relation to project scope (20 points) • Understanding of key development items (20 points) • Qualification of team and resources (15 points) • References (5 points) The evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined below: Rank Company Location Score 1. Pavement Engineering, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA 96 2. EXP U.S. Services, Inc. Glendale, CA 90 3. Willdan Engineering Industry, CA 76 In reviewing proposals, the evaluation panel awarded the highest score to Pavement Engineering, Inc. The evaluation panel determined that Pavement Engineering's Inc.'s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the design and construction support needs. Pavement Engineering Inc. demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They demonstrate the necessary professional qualifications, a full understanding of the project with recent experience on similar projects in the City, and the ability to meet an aggressive design timeline. Based on the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff recommends awarding the engineering design and construction support services contract to Pavement Engineering, Inc. The proposal is available in the City Clerk's Reading File. The requested approval will give staff the ability to renew up to three annual contracts for Page 2 Packet Pg. 342 engineering design and construction support services. Staff is seeking City Council authorization to execute renewal contracts to expedite the design phase of the Overlay and Slurry Seal Program and provide continuity of design from year-to-year. California Government Code 4526 prescribes the 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 architectural and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an agreement with Pavement Engineering, Inc., at a fair and reasonable price. The contingency will also cover the cost of unforeseen additional engineering studies and/or plans that may be required as the evaluation of each specific location is developed. The contingency may also cover traffic studies and surveys, and it will provide funding needed to proactively design plans and specifications for City streets to be used in future construction opportunities. Proactively designing plans and specifications for City streets to create a construction plan inventory is fiscally responsible as it will allow staff to maximize construction budgets by adding pre -designed plans and specifications in the case of projects savings or if additional project funds become available. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Adequate funds are available in project expenditure accounts M0157233-516101 (TDA Article 8 Fund), M0157264-516101 (Measure R Local Return), M0157265-516101 (Prop C Grant Fund), M0157266-516101 (Measure M Local Return), M0157267-516101 (Senate Bill 1) to support the recommended contract.

Because we have worked with hundreds of California cities, counties and government agencies, we Clients throughout understand the process and have the experience, flexibility, California communication and coordination skills to ensure projects move forward smoothly, on time and within budget. 1 0 9 Q 00+ At PEI, we have the latest testing equipment, tools and in-depth Completed projects knowledge to solve the most challenging pavement maintenance problems. During any given year, we evaluate, test, design and inspect ,�%Ci tens of millions of square feet of pavement throughout California. We provide the technical knowledge to cost-effectively maintain Project completion roadways and parking lots. We have the managerial experience to percentage run things smoothly from inception to completion and the proven results that build trust and loyalty. Our number one goal is client 1 00 % satisfaction. We manage each dollar our clients spend as if it were our own — with common sense and complete honesty. Committed to Because we are faced to solve the most challenging in pavement excellence maintenance problems, our staff is carefully comprised and highly trained. We have an experienced, licensed and qualified staff of professional engineers, engineering technicians, construction managers, inspectors, laboratory technicians and support personnel. PEI's inspection staff is Caltrans certified and has performed inspection for many Caltrans QCIQA projects as well as other public and private projects. Our offices work together to achieve superior results for our clients with cost-effectiveness, efficiency, quality and reliability expected in today's competitive and budget -conscious environment.

Through our involvement with the development and implementation of the Section 39 of the Caltrans Standard Specifications, and Greenbook for Asphalt Concrete (AC), PEI has become a leader in designing and testing the new performance based AC materials. We literally bring millions of tons of AC experience to the City of Santa Clarita. ►►14k►i1=1►1i=1►CC] l►I=14V1'L+Vir_lk,I11Yell]I Stretching the dollars while still meeting the pavement needs requires a thorough understanding of pavements. Not many firms have developed the expertise necessary to say that they understand pavements top to bottom and inside out. Using PEI as a consultant for the overlay and slurry seal projects will allow the City to get the most out of each project. Innovation, expertise and experience is what we bring to the table. PEI approaches projects differently than other design firms ... here's how: Sound Understanding At PEI, we understand pavements. We understand how they deteriorate, how they are designed, how they are constructed, we understand them down to the aggregate gradation and binder. Our comprehensive understanding has led to unparalleled expertise that causes us to look at, design and manage pavements differently. This unique approach allows us to get the most out of pavements and the design. No Guesswork PEI does not approach pavement design based on guesswork. We take a scientific approach to determining the most cost -effect solutions to addressing the pavement needs. Armed with this information and our expertise, we can quickly develop and evaluate multiple options for preserving and/or rehabilitating pavement. This provides our clients with the assurance that their investment will last. Unmatched Experience and Knowiedge Over the years, we have observed that no other firms have the knowledge and expertise to match what we have at PEI. Our knowledge and expertise cover all aspects of pavement. We excel at pavement management, design, construction and materials. We understand the big picture. This experience and knowledge contribute to efficient designs and lower bids. Unique Perspective / Sensitive to Costs Deteriorating infrastructure is an important issue, and pavements, because of their visibility, are at the top of the list. Our expertise has given us the privilege to sit in and counsel with agency decision makers as they struggle to balance budgets and meet the needs of their crumbling infrastructure. We understand the constraints and tough decisions that need to be made as a result of a shortage of proper funds. Therefore, we understand the importance of stretching every dollar and eliminating waste with overdesigns. Simple, effective, and innovative designs that meet our clients' exact needs is our specialty. Hands on Ma, We like to use the hands-on approach with our clients. We have found that meeting face to face at critical points during the project development stages eliminates wasted time and allows for the project to run more efficiently from start to finish. Many of our clients have commented that even though they know PEI has multiple clients, they feel like they are our only one. PEI DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES With experience spanning more than three decades, we can deliver the following pavement engineering services to the City of Santa Clarita: Pavement Design P5&E's, Pavement Evaluation (Coring & Deflection Testing); Construction Support. We take a scientific approach to protect an agency's pavement investment. Field investigations include deflection testing, coring the pavement structure and evaluating existing pavement drainage. Laboratory testing includes analyzing pavement materials and soil characteristics, which determine structural adequacy. Combining this analysis with observations of pavement performance, our engineers can determine the current condition of pavement and evaluate rehabilitation alternatives. The net result is an optimum design for long-term pavement performance and the lowest annual cost. Our investigation, management and design services conform substantially to the design concepts and generally accepted practices provided by the federal, state, county, and city governments. We have extensive experience working with and can provide services based on recent Caltrans specifications for QCfQA, standard and method processes, Greenbook specifications and Federal agency specifications, including the Federal Highway Administration. We also adhere to ASTM, AASHTO, and CTM standards. PAVEMENT DESIGN 1 REHABILITATION / MAINTENANCE PEI understands that well -designed pavement can be the difference between a long-lasting structure and one with a significantly reduced service life. From site plans to public agency documents to pavement rehabilitation documents, we have the experience to assist you through each step of the design process. Many pavement -related design projects today also require upgrading facilities related to accessibility. PEI is thoroughly knowledgeable and experienced with the multitude of federal and state requirements that - = apply to exterior accessibility design, including accessible parking, accessible paths or travel, curb ramps, railings, signage, etc. Our design approach ensures a smooth and successful project. Our plans and specifications clearly define the extent and quality of work expected, including all construction details, materials and procedures. We have spent years creating and enhancing specifications for roadways and parking lots that reflect the best industry practices. The combination of site plans, details and specifications ensures that all contractors are bidding on the same work. We are constantly working with contractors all over California to develop engineer's estimates which result in accurate pricing. Detailed contract documents result in lower bids, and complete specifications minimize scheduling, relationship and payment problems. PAVEMENT EVALUATIONS Visual condition surveys Once test data are gathered and analyzed, PEI visually evaluates the pavement for fatigue characteristics such as raveling, transverse and longitudinal or block cracking, and alligator cracking. The visual investigation focuses not just on pavement condition but also on factors that affect performance, including site drainage, water sources from roof drains and landscaping, tree roots, and loading conditions from trucks, buses, garbage trucks or other heavy wheel loads. Physicai evaivation Pavement evaluations provide important information about AC performance and service life. They determine an existing pavement's structure, confirm its structural adequacy and endeavor to find the reason why it failed and how it will perform with various maintenance alternatives. Pavement evaluations are invaluable in determining the best and most economical pavement design and rehabilitation approach based on an annual cost analysis. In addition, PEI has found the adequate cores and deflection data are invaluable during both the design and construction phases of the project. Our experience suggests that gathering this additional data helps produce designs that can last longer than average approaches, resulting in additional savings for the agency. Deflection testing Deflection testing is a non-destructive method of evaluating a pavement's flexibility, the resilience of structural layers and how it has been affected by the type and volume of traffic as well as the effects of temperature and moisture. Although there are several different testing devices, the goal is to measure the total deflection from a load applied on the surface of the pavement. Core testing and R-values Core testing determines how well a foundation distributes repetitive stresses caused by traffic. Coring measures existing pavement thicknesses and determines the type of native soils that form a pavement's subgrade or structural foundation. The resulting data is referred to as the resistance, or R-value, which fixes or determines the depth of the subgrade necessary to support the aggregate base and asphalt concrete surface layer to carry the expected amount of traffic and wheel loads. When used in pavement design, the R-value helps determine the required thickness of foundation layer for the expected traffic conditions. PEI tests R-values using California Test 301, ASTM Test D2844 or AASHTO Test T190. SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE OF TEAM Dating back to 1997, PEI has completed 65+ various pavement projects for the City of Santa Clarita.

Responsibilities include: field design, development of plans, specifications and estimates, coordinating pre -bid and pre -construction meetings, review RFI and submittals and overseeing the project from start to finish. rd- BACKGROUND Response to RFP This year, the City of Santa Clarita will use its Five -Year Pavement Maintenance (StreetSaver®) Plan to select project streets throughout Valencia, Newhall, Saugus and Canyon Country for overlay or slurry treatments. For Fiscal 2024-2025, the City has budgeted approximately $22.9 M for overlays and slurry seals, 45% of which will be applied to arterial streets, 45% to collector and residential streets, and 10% on contingency streets. The City envisions six construction projects: 1 j Annual Overlay A Project; 2) Annual Overlay B Project; 3) Annual Overlay C Project; 4) Annual Overlay D Project, 5) Federal Overlay Project; and 6)Annual Slurry Seal Project. Pavement Engineering Inc. (PEI) will provide the following services to complete the six construction projects: detailed construction plans, specifications and cost estimates, street quantity sheets; and materials testing and inspection logs, for each project in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Plans and Specification for Public Works Construction. TASK 1: PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION OF ALL STREETS WITHIN THE CITY - SELECTED AREAS PEI will perform a visual evaluation of the condition of streets, selected from the City's Five -Year Pavement Maintenance Plan, StreetSavei-0, and the City's input. The evaluation will aid in identifying the next maintenance treatment for each street and the treatment timing and associated costs. PEI will also include a review of streets that are within the same geographic vicinity as the City's plan listed streets, with the purpose to fill out the budget and treat a neighborhood at the same time. TASK 2: PERFORM DEFLECTION TESTING & CORING FOR PAVEMENT DESIGN Once the visual evaluations are performed, PEI will then perform deflection testing, coring and analysis, as necessary, on all streets within the City's selected areas. This type of analysis eliminates guesswork and ensures the best rehabilitation approach. Adequate cores and deflection data on all streets are invaluable during both the design and construction phases of the project. Our experience shows that gathering this additional data helps produce designs that can last longer than average approaches, resulting in additional savings to the City. PEI will perform the deflection analysis in general accordance with California Test Method 356 (CTM 356) at 100-foot maximum intervals in each lane (minimum 10 tests per lane). We will core at 500-foot maximum intervals over the street segment (minimum two cores per street segment). Traffic control an arterial streets will be provided using a follow vehicle. Flagging will be provided as needed on all streets. The City will provide traffic index information. PEI will use this information to assist in the value engineering process. We will explore all possible rehabilitation options, including pulverization and resurfacing, milling and filling, conventional AC overlay and ARHM overlays, as well as recycling options such as FAR and CIR. PEI will also identify whether or not a less expensive maintenance treatment should be considered as an option. Deflection testing and coring data will be summarized for each street and will be included in project development binders. To conserve design funds, no formal deflection testing report will be prepared. The pavement evaluation summary sheets will be compiled into binders and reviewed with the City throughout the design process. TASK 3: PROVIDE STREET LIST RECOMMENDATIONS, TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND VALUE ENGINEERING REPORTS, TO CITY FOR REVIEW Because we are familiar with and have evaluated most of the streets in Santa Clarita, PEI can provide expert guidance an the streets that will benefit from inclusion in the 2020-2021 overlay and slurry seal projects. After performing street evaluations by deflection testing and coring, we will recommend the best maintenance methods and prepare preliminary engineer's estimates for various street segments. We will work with City staff and StreetSaverO to prioritize and refine project street lists, as well as the City's five-year plan list, that best fit the City's budget and maintenance goal of $22.9M. TASK 4: PERFORM FIELD MEASUREMENTS NECESSARY TO DESIGN THE PROJECT PEI's staff will physically walk each rehabilitation project street to measure and record all pertinent field quantities within the right-of-way and adjoining streets that will be pertinent or may conflict with the proposed design. Physically measuring the quantities provides confidence that bid quantities are accurate, ensures smoother contract administration and reduces the potential for change orders. This information includes the location of existing striping; locations of utility lids; limits of paving transitions, digouts and other pavement repairs; and the total area of pavement to be resurfaced. If concrete repairs or tree root damage are identified during field reviews, we will bring these items to the City's attention to determine if the repairs should be added to the contract. TASK 5: INVESTIGATE STREETS IDENTIFIED AS REQUIRING SLURRY SEAL OR OVERLAY Based on the project street lists developed in Task 3, PEI will investigate and identify any preparatory work required before applying the specified treatments. We will identify the location of work, quantities of work and any limitations to the work, including locations, limits and quantities of traffic stripes and raised pavement marker removals. Following the investigation, PEI will provide the City with a detailed street -by -street accounting of the estimated costs. Our detailed accounting will include the locations, limits and quantities of traffic striping and raised pavement marker removals identified in Task 4. Additionally, PEI will provide a summary of quantities and street evaluation reports which will verify treatment recommendations. We will consider the conclusion of Task 5 as the 60% submittal phase. TASK 6: COORDINATE WITH UTILITY COMPANIES Underground utilities may be impacted depending on the selected pavement rehabilitation treatment. To minimize utility impact, PEI will work with the City to notify local utility companies of the projects and will provide a project street list to allow them to coordinate and make needed repairs prior to the start of the paving project. PEI will incorporate all necessary utility information received through this coordination effort that will conflict with the design into the contract documents. We will need to obtain a current listing of utility companies and contact information from the City for this task. TASK 7: ASSIST WITH BI-WEEKLY PROJECT DESIGN DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS Throughout the project, PEI will meet with City staff bi-weekly to coordinate and review specific project progress, evaluate value engineering options, address schedules, budgets and other items of business to ensure the work performed meets performance goals. Our objective is to deliver a quality project on time and on budget and make sure the City understands where we are at all times throughout the project. Most of the work will be performed from PEI's Santa Clarita Office located in the City's industrial area. The Project Manager is available to meet with the City to provide the updates and support, as necessary. TASK 8: PREPARE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS & COST ESTIMATE PEI will prepare six sets of street improvement plans (24'' x 36" sheets), construction documents (specifications) and construction cost estimates. The approximate budget of $22.9M will be divided into 4 overlay projects, a federal overlay project, and a slurry seal project. Documents will be consistent with the City's format and plan sets PEI has previously provided. PEI will draft specifications and prepare details for typical sections, transitions, keycuts, digouts and any necessary additional pavement work. Any portion of the work that requires clarification will be submitted in the form of drafted plan views, details and elevations or cross sections, as necessary. The plans will include existing signs, lane stripes with dimensions, pavement legends and traffic signal loops affected by and within the proposed pavement maintenance and rehabilitation treatment limits PEI will incorporate any new striping and signage plans provided by the City. We will also incorporate any comments and revisions into the plan set. 60% package will be completed at ten (1 a) weeks after award on contract, 80% at twelve (12) weeks, and 100% at fourteen (14) weeks after the contract award date. if_-]""IPAAIQQ11IM&II1:120]:4d&'1=1:11[y*! After the final submittal, PEI staff will be available to answer questions from the City concerning the design. We will prepare addenda as required. In addition, we also will be available to answer questions from contract administration personnel or contractors during the bidding process. We will prepare bid tabulation sheets for each project from bidding information provided by the City. TASK 10: CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES During the construction phase, PEI will be available to the City construction staff to answer contractor's questions during construction regarding design. TASK 11: DESIGN SUPPORT SERVICES During the construction phase of the projects, PEI will provide design support services to the City. These services can include (but are not limited to) answering RFI's, reviewing submittals, and preparing change order street improvement plans, traffic control plans, construction specifications, and construction cost estimate consistent with the City's format as well, as preparing traffic sign age/striping plans, if required, which include the existing and proposed signs, lane stripes with dimensions, pavement legends and traffic signal loops affected by the projects. TASK 12: ON -SITE CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES PEI understands the City of Santa Clarita is requesting a person familiar with the construction management process who will assist in the pavement projects. This person will work from an office at the City Hall for approximately five days a week, as needed from the City, after the contract is awarded. The employee PEI will select to fill this role will be Sam Ho, P.E. We have chosen Sam because of his familiarity with the City of Santa Clarita. Sam will be the project manager on the design services for City's M0157 Annual Overlay and Slurry Seal Projects and supported in construction management for the M0153 Annual Overlay & Slurry Seal Projects, and the M0179 Overlay & Slurry Seal Projects. He worked closely with the City's Project Manager during the design and construction phases of the projects. PEI also understands the person who will provide construction management support will also work closely with the City's Project Manager and staff to successfully complete the projects and protect the interest of the City. Given the complexity of the projects, Sam's availability will ensure the projects run smoothly from start to finish and are completed on -time and within budget. Tasks to be perform by Sam Ho include, but are not limited to, tracking construction quantities, project budget, preparation of construction documents, respond to construction related questions from the contractor and City staff, answer technical design questions, attend weekly construction status meetings, and be on call to provide support on any project related questions or tasks. rd- Estimated Project Schedule Based on the recommended time frame for completion as stated in the RFP (Project M4157) and from past experience working with the City of Santa Clarita, PE1 anticipates that the entire project will take approximately fourteen (14) weeks to complete, from the `Notice to Proceed.' PE1 will schedule the work after receiving a Notice to Proceed and contracts have been executed. We will make every effort to complete tasks on time; however, inclement weather may result in delays.
