FIRST STREET PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS PS&E RFP NO.: 10-110 and active transportation Capital Improvement Projects. The development of PS&E for the pedestrian facility will consider the connections and access points, and these additional relevant design standards: • Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), part 9 and California Supplement • Americans with Disabilities Act • Non -Motorized Technical Reference Guide, Caltrans (2005) • Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications • Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (2012 Edition) • City of Santa Ana Standard Plans • Relevant State Local Assistance Procedure Manuals and requirements • Regulatory and permit requirements as required and confirmed by the consultant Pre -Final Design (95% PS&E) Following City review of the 60% PS&E, the team will incorporate City comments and advance the design documents to a 95% submittal completion level. The 95% submittal will include final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). Prior to submittal to the City, we will perform 1) a thorough interdisciplinary review, and 2) a quality control check, checking against the basis of design and the applicable codes and requirements. Delivering a Design Within Budget Perhaps most importantly, the Tetra Tech team is committed to delivering a project that not only meets or exceeds the expectations of the City and the community, but will accomplish this within the allocated construction budget. To meet this requirement, the Tetra Tech team will maintain a running cost estimate of the overall project, and will coordinate work closely with Mr. Jason Fussel, the Tetra Tech Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Manager. Final Design (100% PS&E) Upon direction from the City's Project Manager, and based on the review comments on the 95% PS&E, the community, City and other stakeholder input, we will develop the final construction plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). All PS&E deliverables will pass our internal quality control process and will meet the standards and requirements of the City, Caltrans, and the grant. After going through our thorough and established quality control process, Tetra Tech will submit 100% PS&E, along with back-up design calculations, models, and technical reports for review and approval. Each submittal will be made on time in accordance with the schedule. We will provide construction specifications for the work, and will thoroughly review the specifications against the plans to ensure their coordination. An opinion of costs will be provided by professional cost estimators with a detailed breakdown of work elements, unit prices, and total costs, and will include references for chosen unit costs at each submittal. Our team will offer recom- mendations for cost savings. The drawings and calcu- lations will be signed and sealed by the Project Man- ager or Engineer registered in the State of California. Bid Support The City will gain from the Tetra Tech team's extensive experience in the preparation of quality bid documents to obtain uniform bids. We strive to reduce the need for changes and addenda and will offer recommendations on pay items to cover all of the potential work. The City will also benefit from our support during the bid process to offer clarifications, and utilize our experience evaluating contractor bids to identify unbalanced bids or other issues. Quality Control/Quality Assurance At Tetra Tech, our methods and techniques for quality control (QC) are employed in all phases of work to ensure that the quality requirements are fulfilled for our clients. Quality assurance (QA) is integral to our culture and processes and is ingrained in each task to be properly implemented. Our CA process has been responsible for driving down the lead time for project delivery and reduces the overall cost of the project by minimizing quality checks, rework and agency delays. The quality check process is a formalized step in the delivery process that requires all documents and deliverables to go through an independent review prior to release. Checklists, formal comment/ response forms, and redlined QC stamped sets are integral to the quality check. The goal is simple: ensure that the product meets the expectations of the client and does not require the City to review the 2 5Ke-@26 TETRA TECH
