A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 6 On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services (RFP NO.19-100) f t • Cathodic Protection: The Michael Baker team will monitor and evaluate existing impressed and galvanic cathodic protection systems present on pipelines or reservoirs for effectiveness, remaining useful life, and operation. Upgrades will be designed in accordance with current industry standards. • Quality Control Inspection: We will provide inspection of the contractor's coating and paint operations to verify the work is being accomplished in accordance with the specifications and plans. Other Any and all other tasks as described in the request for proposal and not specifically discussed above, will be performed by Michael Baker's Santa Ana staff, or through one of our trusted subconsultants as shown on the proposed organization chart. We are confident that our team has extensive experience in providing described services and will be an asset to the City for their projects. 2. Pipeline Design • Survey and Data Collection: Based on our previous experience with the City, we understand that the City may be providing survey for their projects. However, if needed, Michael Baker can provide complete survey and mapping services. The horizontal and vertical control is the backbone of any successful pipeline project. The placement of control point locations is carefully evaluated to refine control point locations to better serve a project and make the working conditions safe for the field staff. • Safety and Traffic Control: We will consider construction safety concerns during the design to assure that developed plans can be safely constructed and ensure a safe parkway environment at all times. For pipeline construction on major arterial streets that impose significant safety issues, we highly recommend developing traffic control plans. As our continued teaming partner, we have included Traffic Control Engineering (Mr. David Kuan, PE) in our team. He is intimately familiar with the City's traffic condition and its requirements and will provide temporary traffic control plans for our projects. • Public Impact: It is incumbent upon the design team to work with the City to minimize public impacts in terms of the proposed improvements, the schedule, the phasing and anticipated traffic detour plans. • Pipe Installation: The Michael Baker team will make sure that all pipes are being designed with access points, proper gaskets, fitting restraints or flange systems, and that the design follows the City's general requirements and approved list of materials and vendors. We have been working with the City in the past and are familiar with the City's specific standards and requirements and will implement them into our design. • Preliminary Design: The Michael Baker team will establish design criteria, verify pipeline alignments and sizes, conduct field walks to determine potential design and construction conflicts and verify field topography data. Tasks will include identifying existing improvements, utility conflicts and construction constraints; calculate restrain lengths; identify restrained joints and/or thrust block; prepare plan view and/or cross -sectional view (if necessary) showing alternative construction where water main is not in compliance with California Division of Drinking Water requirements; and notify utility owners to coordinate the resolution of identified conflicts. • Final Design: The Michael Baker team will prepare a construction package consisting of plans and specifications for the construction of pipeline projects. 3.
