THE METHODOLOGY WE WILL USE TO <br />COMPLETE WORK TASKS FOLLOWS: <br />• Understand the task and the city's needs <br />• Visit the site <br />• Identify stakeholders <br />• Research the project context and background <br />• Determine permitting and regulatory requirements <br />• Identify problems, constraints, and opportunities <br />• Strategize possible solutions and evaluate <br />alternates <br />• Assist the city in selecting a preferred alternative <br />• Develop the design into clear, constructible and <br />cost-effective construction documents <br />• Determine construction phasing <br />• Support the environment documentation and right- <br />of-way acquisitions as needed <br />• Provide construction administration, management, <br />and surveying <br />• Close out the assignment with record documents <br />CAPABILITY OF DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE OR <br />ADVANCED TECHNIQUES <br />The City of Santa Ana is seeking water resources <br />engineering firms experienced with developing Plans, <br />Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E). The consultant <br />will be responsible for services requested on an "on - <br />call" basis for projects as assigned by the City of Santa <br />Ana. The scope of services include but is not limited to: <br />Providing plans, specifications, and estimates for civil <br />engineering services is the backbone of our Irvine <br />branch oifice's expertise. Our team has proposed, <br />won, and completed projects similar to those that are <br />typically requested and our capability for developing <br />innovative and advanced techniques sets us apart. <br />3D MODELING AND PREDICTIVE SOFTWARE <br />Planning and design has been driven by the growth <br />of advanced 3D design. The creation of smart 3D <br />models helps visualize and communicate vital data. <br />At Huitt-Zollars projects are developed in Civil3D. <br />The models integrate with other 3D platforms such <br />as Inroads, BIM, and Revit. This provides data <br />for future public works sustainable design projecs <br />and will work with many smart city platforms. The <br />structural integrity of any building is only as good as <br />its individual parts. The way those parts fit together, <br />along with the choice of materials and site parameters, <br />all contribute to how a building will perform. <br />IMPROVING THE DURABILITY AND LIFESPAN <br />OF OUR ROADS AND PARKING LOTS <br />Transportation and parking are major components in <br />civil engineering design. Sustainable and innovative <br />pavement design should be considered with every <br />project. The availability of pavement alternatives <br />is plentiful. Use of cool pavements as a means to <br />increase infiltrating, greening, and mitigating the <br />urban heat island impact is a growing consideration. <br />Huitt-Zollars constantly seeks to identify the most cost <br />effective pavement alternatives for projects. Our group <br />will ensure the proposed improvements are consistent <br />with specific project requirements. <br />EXISTING SYSTEM INVENTORY <br />In order to identify potential conflicts between the <br />existing infrastrucure and future improvements, <br />existing utilities will be located, verified, and compile <br />into the topography using a four tier approach. <br />Tier I: Site Inspection and Coordination <br />Huitt-Zollars will conduct a site investigation that <br />includes digital documentation. The findings will be <br />used to formulate a project specific approach and <br />scope of services. The information gather will identify <br />utility purveyors in the project vicinity and assesses <br />probable challenges during construction. <br />Tier II: Research and Gather Record Data <br />Huitt-Zollars will request records from utility purveyors. <br />Record information will be verified during the <br />topographic survey and compiled into a drawing. ADA <br />ramps in the project vicinity that do not meet federal <br />regulations will be identified and updated during design. <br />Tier III: Topography Survey <br />Our survey department will research right-of-way <br />record information, survey visible utility features, and <br />dip manholes within the project area. Huitt-Zollars <br />is leading the industry with drone surveying and <br />scanning technologies. The new technology has a <br />perfect platform in aerial photography. The data can <br />produce 3D accuracy that is better than conventional <br />HUITf ZOLLARS City of Santa On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services RFP No. 19-100 6 <br />
