Community Outreach We are sensitive to the pivotal role of meaningful public involvement programs that enable area residents to establish their priorities. Community involvement determines the overall design program, funding strategies, and implementation priorities. Our expertise in providing a broad range of services helps with the successful implementation of your goals while addressing the specific challenges that each project entails. Kimley-Horn is known for developing innovative approaches to projects that involve neighborhood participation. We understand that some projects require community involvement and acceptance, and we have developed effective methods of bringing the community into the process. We are strongly committed to conducting public participation programs that educate, inform, and build consensus for a particular solution. Some of our public involvement services include interactive websites, newsletters, town hall meetings, stakeholder meetings, press releases, brochures, educational seminars, and PowerPoint presentations. Utility Search and Coordination Our knowledge of utility design also extends to open trench design, trenchless technologies Qack-and- bore, microtunneling, and horizontal directional drills), and utility structures (lift stations, pump stations, etc.). Additionally, we know how critical it is to propose improvements that avoid existing utilities. Should conflicts arise, we have the in-house team that can not only coordinate with utility owners but can also complete the design of these facilities. Kimley-Horn will utilize subconsultant UTIL-LOCATE, when appropriate, to perform underground utility surveys of subject project areas. Surveying and Mapping Services Kimley-Horn will utilize long-time partner On -Point Surveying to perform topographic foot surveys, ALTAs, and other mapping services when dictated by each task order. On -Point is currently serving the City through Kimley-Horn's current roadway on -call contract, and they are familiar with the City and its processes. Contract Documents and Permits Kimley-Horn will work with the City's Project Team to bring each project to completion. Depending on the size and schedule, we will work with the City to determine the V�„ 3 1 p appropriate milestone submittals for each task order — this will most typically include 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% Final Documents ready for permitting. Kimley-Horn and our consultant team are fully capable of assembling a full set of construction documents including specifications and construction cost estimates such that the City can issue the package out for public bidding. Cost Estimating At each step of this project, we will update the opinion of probable construction cost to gauge where we are in relation to the project budget. With today's rapidly escalating construction costs, it will be important to update the estimate throughout the design phase. Kimley-Horn uses readily available construction cost guides such for recent bids as well as bids for private sector projects of similar magnitude. City of Santa Ana • LPOC77002.2023 KimleyoHorn 8
