SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project Construction Management & Inspection Services Berg routinely manages public works projects that utilize Federal Aid, and we understand the requirements and regulations that apply in order to govern construction. We are very familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance process and the Construction (RE) Manual, which we utilize on the majority of our projects. Berg has an outstanding track record and long history of working with cities and regional transportation agencies to administer and manage federally funded Caltrans Local Assistance projects. Caltrans has recognized us as qualified consultants to provide inspection and engineering for bridges and roadway construction and reconstruction for federally funded projects. We have provided these services for cities throughout Southern California from La Quinta to Simi Valley. In our ten years as a Prime Consultant on the Alameda Corridor, we facilitated the completion of nine different construction projects, all federally funded. The bridges and grade separations were administered under the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures, and these same procedures were applied to each project. On each of these projects Berg was the Prime Construction Management Consultant and we provided Resident Engineering, Administration, Compliance and Documentation, Project Controls, and Quality Assurance. Recently, Berg managed two grade separations that were federally funded; one for the City of Fullerton in conjunction with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and one for the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCG), formerly Alameda Corridor East (ACE) Construction Authority in the City of Industry. For each of these, we provided all staff to oversee field operations, coordinate quality assurance, track and compile project documentation and monitor compliance with funding sources.

Some of our standard operating procedures for administration of federally funded projects include: • Working with Cities for accurate project pricing for verification of funding and final E-76 for Federal Authorization to proceed. • Review approvals from CTC and permit agencies are in place. • Compliance with FARs in all indirect cost certifications, reviews, and rates. • Compliance with Prevailing Wage requirements as determined by the DIR. • Utilization of Caltrans payment forms for the construction contractor and compilation of back up documentation to ensure progress payments are in conformance with scope and finance letter.
