N TETRA TECH November 12, 2019 Sean Thomas City of Santa Ana, Public Works Agency M-36 20 Civic Center Plaza, 3rd Floor, Ross Annex Santa Ana, CA 92701 Reference: RFP No.: 19-110, First Street Pedestrian Improvements PS&E Dear Mr. Sean Thomas: Tetra Tech is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering design and construction support services for the First Street Pedestrian Improvements Project. The Tetra Tech team is experienced in designing similar active transportation projects with a pedestrian emphasis for Southern California cities, including the City of Santa Ana's (City) Lincoln Avenue Pedestrian Pathway Connectivity Project. Tetra Tech understands identifying critical constraints at the onset of the commencement of the project will be crucial to verifying the site's feasibility and constructability in order to implement the project in alignment with the City's project goals and schedule. To that end, our approach focuses on the following: Understanding Local Needs: Our team discipline leaders are familiar with the local community along the impacted portions of First Street. The Tetra Tech team has already visited the site, photo documented the corridor, and evaluated opportunities and constraints within the corridor. Efficient Delivery: With the final PS&E deadline set for April 2020, a streamlined project delivery will be required. The Tetra Tech team can best serve the City on this Project due to our ability to provide most of the key disciplines and services in-house, including the survey, civil, landscape architecture, utilities, and storm water scope of work. This will allow the PS&E production to begin while some of the pre -design tasks such as the survey are being completed, while also providing an efficient and well -coordinated set of construction documents. Compliance with Multiple Funding Sources: Our team is well versed in the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM) requirements and other Local Assistance Guidelines and Operating Procedures. Our project management team has the level of diligence and the wherewithal required to effectively administerthis project from the early stages of concept design through detailed design and final construction. Right -of -Way: Based on the RFP, improvements are believed to be contained within the public right-of-way. Our qualified experts will identify if there are any right-of-way conflicts and provide recommendations to the City. Utilities: Our team will perform detailed research to identify utilities that may be impacted by the project and identify parties responsible for relocation of conflicting utilities, if necessary. Complete Project Support: The City requires a team of experts throughout the entire project duration from early concept through finished construction. Our project management team has considerable construction management and administration experience administering construction of large federally -funded roadway projects. Our prior experience will not only serve the bid phase and construction implementation but also the design phase, streamlining the Caltrans Local Assistance ATP PS&E audit phase. As Principal -in -Charge, I certify that I have the authorityto negotiate contracts on behalf of Tetra Tech, and I am authorized to make representations for our organization.
