SR-55 /RITCHEY WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES
RFP NO.21-066
INTRODUCTIONBACKGROUND
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the lead agency for the proposed State
Route 55 (SR-55) freeway -widening project from Interstate 405 to Interstate I-5. The project will
add general purpose and high -occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction between 1-405 and I-5,
and will also add auxiliary lanes between interchanges to reduce traffic congestion and improve
mobility. Additionally, the project will add sidewalks, ADA ramps raised medians and vehicle
lanes along MacArthur Boulevard, Dyer Road, Edinger Avenue and McFadden Avenue. The
project will improve safety and mobility for pedestrians and reduce traffic congestion at several
major arterials crossing the SR-55. Additionally, the City of Santa Ana's existing water
infrastructure, consisting of a 16" pipeline in Ritchey Street, 24" and 12" pipelines crossing the
SR 55 freeway and a pressure regulating station near Warner Avenue, must be relocated and
reconstructed to accommodate the SR-55 widening. The proposed utility relocations are ready for
advertising of construction (Attachment 4) with the goal of beginning construction at fall 2021 to
remain on schedule with the freeway -widening work. The work involved to relocate the utilities
is quite extensive and requires obtaining easements and performing jack and bore construction
techniques below the freeway.
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is responsible for the design and
implementation of the proposed Caltrans State Route 55 widening project. All coordination with
the proposed Route 55 widening project shall be done with OCTA. All permit requirements for
work within State Route 55 right-of-way shall be done in accordance with the Caltrans permit and
the Caltrans inspector. The additional freeway lanes being added impact the City of Santa Ana's
existing pressure reducing station and associated piping. The scope of work has been divided in
three components; the relocation of the water main within Ritchey Street, the relocation of the
pressure reducing station and the relocation of the connecting piping that currently crosses the
freeway. The scope of each project is further defined below:
Ritchey St Water Main Relocation, Project No. 19-6438:
This work is for the relocation of the existing 16-inch water main in Ritchey Street.
Approximately 260 feet will be new 8-inch DR14 C900 PVC pipe connecting to the
City of Santa Ana RFP 21-066
Page Al-1
existing water system on the west side and at Newport Circle, and about 1,444 feet will be
new 16-inch DR18 C905 PVC pipe, and about 120 feet of new 16-inch Class

SA-7 Pressure Reducing Station Relocation, Project No. 19-6439:
This work is for the relocation of the existing SA-7 Pressure Reducing Station. The
proposed station will be an above ground station located upon a concrete slab surrounded
by an 8-foot high block wall with a rolling gate entrance to the site. Portions of the main
line header and discharge piping will be buried and encased in concrete for thrust restraint.
The piping and valves for the pressure reducing component of the station will be above
ground. The pipe and valves have varying diameter sizes, including 8-inch, 10-inch, 14-
inch, 16-inch and 24-inch. The new work includes installing an energy dissipater for
discharging waters from the station.
This discharge line will be temporarily connected to the existing 21-inch storm drain at the
existing SA-7 site until the final work is completed by Caltrans for the new storm drain
within the Freeway widening project. The work also includes a new antenna pole,
electrical equipment, lighting, instrumentation and controls.
There will be a portion of this work that will be phased since the block wall on the side
of the freeway cannot be installed until the storm drain culvert for State Route
55 Widening Project is installed. In the interim a chain link fence will be installed. Once
the installation ofthe storm drain culvert is completed, the chain link fence will be removed,
and the Phase 2 site construction, including the 8-foot high block wall, will be constructed
to complete the site work. Demolition and removal of the above ground existing station
components is included in this work.

Construction Management & Inspection Services
Berg & Associates, Inc. takes no exception to any and all provisions contained in the Agreement,
Attachment 2, found in the RFP Appendix.
C.I. Firm Experience
Berg &Associates, Inc. (Berg), is a Woman -Owned (WBE), Disadvantaged
(DBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), providing management and
inspection of underground and overhead utilities, water pipelines, storm
drains, and pump stations since 1980. From grade separations to park
projects, nearly all of our projects involve utility relocations. We managed
storm drain projects for the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority
including the Anaheim Street Storm Drain which consisted of large
diameter, 84-inch, 72-inch, and 48-inch storm drainpipe. The drain was
constructed within the City of Los Angeles using micro -tunneling methods
as well as open trench construction. Traffic control to maintain traffic flow
and access to adjacent properties and ground water management and
removal of contaminated soil and water was required.
We've also constructed numerous pump stations including the New Dock
and Henry Ford Pump Station for the Port of Los Angeles. The four -pump
facility, with two operational and two standby Flyght pumps, serves as a wet
well for storage and discharge. The project required significant coordination
of electrical components and the below -grade concrete structure required
substantial excavation and shoring.
Recently, Berg has installed thousands of feet of waterlines for cities
like Santa Monica, Torrance, and El Segundo. These project locations
took place on heavily trafficked thoroughfares with high end hotels and
restaurants, requiring minimized noise interference, continued public
access, and extensive traffic control.
We have an impressive track record of successful coordination and
experience working with permitting and regulatory agencies such as the
US Army Corps of Engineers, the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB), State Water Resources Control Board, the Orange
County Flood Control District, and the US Environmental Protection
Agency. Our resident engineers are Qualified Stormwater Designer (QSD),
and many of our inspectors are certified Qualified Stormwater Practitioners
(QSP). Field personnel are 40-hour HAZMAT certified, OSHA certified, and
maintain various certifications.

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.

All of our inspectors are able to conduct labor compliance interviews on site and some are bilingual in
English and Spanish. Our Assistant Project Manager is also a resource for on -site interviews, she is also
bilingual and well versed in all labor compliance standards, as needed.
The contractor will need to be registered with Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and to submit to
the DIR electronic copies of certified payroll to demonstrate labor compliance. We will also receive and
log copies and will check them against daily reports, conduct periodic interviews of labor in the field, and
monitor the changing labor compliance regulations. We will review and ensure compliance with CWA
requirements.
Berg has been involved with Caltrans projects since the company was founded. We have held On -Call
contracts with Caltrans District 7, managed projects in the Caltrans ROW, and coordinated with Caltrans
for numerous projects that use LAPM and require Caltrans oversight. Our proposed Project Manager,
Dave Smith, PE, QSD, started his career in the Caltrans Bridge department and, more recently, he
completed the Raymond Avenue Grade Separation which required coordination with Caltrans District
12. Our proposed Contract Administrator, Brenda Ramirez, MPA, is currently working on projects with
Caltrans oversight, utilizing LAPM and providing quality assurance for the team's project documentation
for Caltrans auditing in the City of Menifee (D8) and the City of Torrance (D7). Both of these team members
have extensive knowledge of Caltrans requirements and procedures. Our whole team is familiar with the
Caltrans RE Manual, LAPM methods, and Caltrans Standard Plans and Standard Specifications.
We have a successful history of project experience with OCTAincluding providing services forthe Metrolink
Service Expansion Program, the Raymond Avenue Grade Separation Project, and two recent Metrolink
Stations with OCTA as the lead agency. Our team members are very familiar with their procedures and
methodologies. Currently, we are providing CM and Inspection services to OCTAfor the Anaheim Canyon
Metrolink Station project. Our proposed Contract Administrator, Brenda Ramirez, MPA, currently provides
quality assurance for project documentation, monthly reports, and contract compliance. Our proposed
Project Manager, Dave Smith, PE, QSD, served as Resident Engineer on the Raymond Avenue Grade
Separation for the City of Fullerton with OCTA oversight. He worked closely with OCTA representatives
to coordinate staffing, agency communications, subconsultants, issue prioritization and resolutions, and
quality assurance for apy applications.

SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
D.I. Project Understanding
Overview
It is our understanding City of Santa Ana requires
a consultant to provide construction management
and inspection services to oversee three
interconnected projects within the SR-55/Ritchey
Water Improvement Projectwith the goal to relocate
a water main, a pressure reducing station, and the
water pipes crossing under the SR-55 in advance
of the highly anticipated SR-55 widening between
the 1-405 and I-5. The Berg team values working
on projects that enhance connectivity, safety, and
infrastructure upgrades within communities.
This project is a perfect fit for the experience
and knowledge that Berg has specialized in for
40 years in the Southern California region. The
main construction elements include excavation/
shoring/backfill, bore and jack tunneling, waterline
installation (PVC, DIP, welded steel), water
monitoring/control systems, water systems
testing/commissioning, traffic control, waterline
abandonment, ADA compliance, concrete flatwork,
block wall, landscaping, paving, striping, utility
coordination and agency coordination.
We understand a major element of the project
is that the work includes two areas of significant
TCE work; on the west side of the SR-55,
Western Exterminator, and on the east side of
the SR-55, RICOH. OCTA is currently in the
process of obtaining right of way access through
construction easements and property acquisitions.
Of importance is the assumption that the City
contractor cannot gain access to these properties
until July 2022. This schedule hold becomes the
critical path for the project, of special concern, if
the project construction commences with Ritchey
St main replacement and there are subsequent
delays with the easements from either Western
Exterminating or RICOH, impacting the duration of
the project. The CM team will work with the City
to ensure OCTA is aware of potential negative
impacts if the ROW is not available, and possible
positive impacts if the ROW were to become
available sooner.
Of the three interrelated projects, the Ritchey
Street main, a stand-alone project, will commence
first including a short section of pipe leading to
the proposed SA-7 Pressure Reducing Station.
The jack and bore operation under SR-55 will
commence at a later date in coordination with
OCTA ROW agreements. Once the City contractor
has completed jack and bore, the SA-7 PRS
construction can begin; however, cannot be fully
completed until the Caltrans contractor completes
the RCB reconfiguration, anticipated to be 12
months.
Although it is important to get the contractor
mobilized to complete the Ritchey St work, critical
path work for Contract completion flows through
the bore and jack operation and the SA-7 PRS
construction dependent upon the initial right of way
waiting period for RICOH. This affects the easterly
pit and the waiting period for the Caltrans RCB,
which affects completion of some minor aspects
of the PRS. A suggestion would be to have 2
interim milestones: one for the completion and
activation of the Ritchey St main and a second for
the activation of the SA-7 PRS. This would ensure
the primary objectives of the Project are met as
quickly as possible. Final completion of the wall
and energy dissipator drain are not critical and can
await Caltrans completion of the RCB.
Ritchey St. Water Main Relocation
The Ritchey St. Water Main Relocation has 4
major phases: 1) Installation of new 8" and 16"
main (PVC and DIP), 2) Installation of new FH's,
services, FDC's or connect to existing, 3) Test/
cutover and, 4) AC overlay/stripe. The new main is
approximately 1,600 feet of 16" PVC with concrete
encased DIP at the angle points and 260-If of 8"
PVC. The Southwest 300-ft to 400-ft cross over
the street requires planned traffic control and shift
work as shown on Sht C106 (Sht 10 of 39) SA-7
YARD PIPING PLAN.
The southerly end of Ritchey St. requires detailed
planning for pipe work and traffic control as the
pipe crosses over the street median. At each angle
point, in the almost 1,600-If of 16" pipe, there is
a short section of concrete encased DIP which
requires crews to slightly switch operations to plan
for construction and curing of the concrete. All parts
for fittings are to be shown on the shop drawings
and confirmed procured prior to commencing
work. As these fittings/concrete encasements are
at angle points, extensive, complete, and detailed
Berg & Associates, Inc. 8
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
potholing is required to ensure the identified angle
points do not change or that additional angle points
are not required due to utility conflicts. Advance
planning can save significant time in the field.
On the south end of Ritchey St., there is an existing
valve just beyond the limits of construction. This
valve must be verified to be in working condition so
it can be closed to allow for the cutover process;
otherwise, repair or replacement of the valve is
necessary, to avoid a 2nd line stop valve.
On the north end of Ritchey St., the City is adding
a valve to the existing mainline via the line stop
method, that is, installing a valve while maintaining
water flow in the pipe. This valve is to reduce
the limits of the waterline shutdown required.
The contractor will pothole this location prior to
submitting shop drawings of the pipe. This is to
ensure the condition and outside diameter of the
existing pipe has been confirmed and the correctly
sized line stop/valve is procured. Sheet 26 of 39 of
the plans has a line stop plan identifying k-rail to
protect the line stop work. It is suggested a traffic
water barrier be added on the south side work area
to protect from blunt end exposure as currently
shown on the plans.
There is approximately 1,600-feet of 16" and 24"
pipe to be slurry filled once the Ritchey St. new
water main is activated, and the SA-7 Facility
is activated. Although this sounds like an easy
process, due to the length of the pipe runs, there
will be many setups and pumping operations.
The City contractor is required to overlay the entire
width of Ritchey St. for the length of the project.
Once the main is relocated in Ritchey St., MCI
will be relocating a fiber optic line. Per the RFP,
the City contractor is to wait until MCI is complete
before beginning the overlay work. Coordination
with MCI will be important to avoid delays to the
City contractor's schedule.
SR-55 Water Crossing Relocation
Construction of the jack and bore casings for the
water crossing cannot commence until OCTA has
completed ROW agreements with the RICOH
property owners. The RFP has indicated a four -
month timeline. Both of our proposed inspectors
have significant experience with bore and jack
operations, as does our Project Manager, Dave
Smith.
Significant within this phase is the jack and bore
installation of transmission mains. Both casings
(30" and 42") meet or exceed the definition of a
tunnel per Cal -OSHA and, therefore, shall meet
the requirements of Cal -OSHA. The casings/
tunnels are constructed within the Caltrans ROW
and must meet Caltrans requirements. The project
schedule must include time for Caltrans review of all
layouts, calculations, and work plans. The Caltrans
Encroachment Permits Manual, Guidelines and
Specifications for Trenchless Technology Projects,
is to be adhered to, including fulltime inspection
by the project owner's designated representative
during tunnelling (bore and jack) operations.
In addition to the bore and jack Work Plan, the
contractor will be required to monitor the SR-55
surface to ensure no heaving or settlement occurs.
Installation and testing the pipe will occur during
this phase and before backfilling of the pits.
SA-7 Pressure Reducing Station Relocation
The SR-55 widening will relocate an 8' x 4' RCB
currently on the east side of the SA-7 Facility. Due
to its proximity to the SR-55, the City and Caltrans
are requiring the majority of the SA-7 Facility be
built (excluding a portion of the east block wall and
discharge structure), commissioned and activated,
including partial demolition, prior to construction of
the RCB. Of note, the existing block wall contains
lead paint with elevated levels that will require the
material to be handled as Non-RCRA Hazardous
Waste which will require a lead workplan and
disposal plan prior to demolition of the existing
wall.
PRS construction will commence after the bore &
jack operation is complete and the pipe placement
/testing is completed. Our inspectors are highly
experienced with pipe and valve installations, and
ourlead inspector has extensive electrical and pump
station experience Our specialty subconsultant
(ON -SITE) will verify Special Provisions Section
17100 Field Testing requirements are completed
and ensure a smooth commissioning/ activation of
the SA-7 PRS.
Once the new PRS is operational and accepted,
the existing PRS can be removed. Coordination
with Caltrans will be required to verify length of
Asbestos Cement (AC) pipe to be abandoned. An
AC Pipe Handling plan to ensure the AC pipe is not
friable will be required prior to removal.
Berg & Associates, Inc. 9
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
OCTA is procuring easements on both sides of the SR-55 with Western Exterminator and RICOH. The
RFP identified a waiting period until approximately July 2022 before work in this area can begin. This
affects the start of the two casing crossings. Coordinating with OCTA to determine the earliest start date
and advance notification to City's contractor is important to the critical path.
OCTA is coordinating with Caltrans for the SR-55 Widening Project; with OCTA procuring the CM and
Caltrans procuring the construction contractor. The SR-55 project is to be completed between the two
phases of work on the City's SA-7 Pressure Reducing Facility. Per the RFP, we are to assume a 12-month
construction period. It is important to closely coordinate with OCTA and their CM team to ensure the
Caltrans contractor is aware when the area will be ready for them to begin relocation of the 8' x 4' RCB
and for us to be aware, well in advance, of when the Caltrans contractor will have completed their work
for efficient transitions and schedule maintenance. Site walk-throughs with OCTA/Caltrans are imperative
before turning over the area and when receiving it back. Photos and videos will be taken in both instances
to document the condition. Both events would be required to be included on the City contractor's CPM
schedule.
Ritchey Street Water Main: The line in Ritchey St. is a large water main which provides water service and
FDC water to businesses in the area, to fire hydrants, and provides water service to the east side of the
SR-55 via the existing SA-7 Facility/SR-55 casings. The work activities, testing plans, and notifications
to the City (SA-7 Facility) and local businesses are critical to good relationships with 3rd parties and
completing a smooth operation. Detailed work activities and notifications are all to be shown on the
contractor's CPM schedule. Personal contact with each business by the CM team is imperative. City
personnel are required by the Specifications to turn on or off any valves as part of the shutdown. This will
be adhered to and is part of the shutdown workplan and notifications.
SA-7 Facility: Critical to the City of Santa Ana's water operations and per City requirements, this facility
can only be shut down for 7 consecutive calendar days. The CPM schedule would include pipe/electrical
installation, testing/commissioning, and would be monitored closely to ensure no time slippage. To ensure
the shutdown is completed within the required 7-day period, the contractor would be required to submit a
Testing/Commissioning Procedures submittal and a 7-Day Shutdown Activity submittal.
As noted in the discussion regarding concrete encasement for pipe angle points, potholing of the known
existing crossing utilities is required first thing on the project before any other construction. In addition to
potholing the known utilities, the CM team will ensure the contractor contacts DigAlert to mark utilities in
the entire footprint of the Project to ensure the designer did not miss any or that none were added after
design. The contractor will pothole the various tie-in points to ensure the horizontal/vertical alignment is
correct and also to confirm the existing material type and dimensions are correct.
LC � TCE Management
Activities would be included in the contractor's CPM schedule for TCE Advance Notification and planned
TCE usage activities. Once the Project has commenced and schedules are known, the CM team will
ensure that both OCTA and the TCE owners (Western Exterminating and RICOH) were aware of the dates
and the work activities that will be occurring. These dates will be checked each month for discussions
with the 3rd parties and used to ensure advance notifications are sent out in a timely manner.

D.2. Our Team's Approach
As your CM team, we are your front line on the project, coordinating contractor activities and representing
you to the public. We strive to make a good impression and make certain that the public sees this project
as a good use of public funds and excellent City management. Establishing a professional working
relationship with the contractor so that we work as a team to identify potential problems and solutions as
the work is planned is as powerful a quality assurance tool as continually inspecting all work.

Our QA/QC program is rooted in three fundamentals that we practice in every aspect of the project:
communication, documentation, and evaluation. As illustrated in the graphic above, we use these basic
tenants to avoid and/or mitigate conflict, changes, or claims.
Our Contract Adminstrator will provide quality control by evaluating progress through schedule and
budget assessment. We will also confer frequently with the City of Santa Ana to dialogue regarding
quality delivery of services.
Berg's approach to project management promotes teamwork and cooperation, understanding that a
project's success depends on the success of each party. We have seen proof that continuous and
effective communication is vital to the success of all projects, and we promote this by:
• Establishing clear lines of communication.
• Timely responses to RFIs and submittals.
• Being positive and cooperative.
• Managing schedule and quality through communication and coordination.
• Ensuring impeccable accountability utilizing the latest management tools.
• Building stakeholder and community support through open communications.
We will provide exceptional construction management and technical inspection services complete with
pre -construction and post -construction, to deliver a successful project. Our goal as CM is to make certain
that the project moves forward consistent with all applicable administrative requirements while focusing
on the nuts and bolts of safety, quality, schedule, and cost.

SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Pre -Construction Meeting
During the pre -construction meeting, we will review preliminary schedules, discuss procedures, and
begin to build a collaborative stakeholder team between the contractor, the City, the designer, Berg, and
third parties. The requirements and intent of the scheduling effort are also discussed. This is the first
opportunity to work with the contractor to establish a mutual understanding of the project goals:
• The schedule is a team effort
• Communications with team members is important
• Consistent and clearly defined reporting is critical for effective communication
A key item of discussion during the Pre -Construction Meeting will be the communications process for the
project. We develop a "Responsibility Assignment Matrix" that includes the City, the designer, and the
CM staff that clearly lays out communications protocols. This is a communications tool that can help the
contractor understand who he will be dealing with for any particular issue. Other agenda items include
project constraints, "work-arounds," utility coordination process, and anticipated submittals.
Community Meeting
Together with the City, Berg will assist the City to implement an approved iii "

Your Patience and Cooperalion Schedule & Budget Review
Establishing an agreed -upon schedule of values to break down lump
sum bid items will facilitate an accurate assessment of work progress
and streamline subsequent payment to the contractor. Our management
team is diligent to make sure that the amount paid to the contractor never
exceeds the value of the work done in the field.
Contractor schedules are important tools in the schedule management
effort. These submittals demonstrate whether the contractor has an
understanding of what needs to be done to complete the work and
highlights what they think may be critical. The schedule must also reflect
material and equipment procurement including the time for shop drawing
approval. Our team will review the contractor's baseline schedule, analyze the critical path, and establish
a clear understanding of project milestones.
The contractor is responsible to submit a CPM schedule for the project, which is the base tool used to
monitor Project progress, plan the work and keep 3rd Party entities aware of work activities that affect
them or work windows they will be using.
We will ensure the following are included in the contractor's CPM schedule:
1. All work activities
2. All shutdown notifications
3. All 3rd Party work windows (Caltrans RCB, MCI fiber optic relocation, SCE pole relocation) and
3rd Party notifications of their windows

SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Contract Compliance
Berg staff are thoroughly familiar with Greenbook
and Caltrans procedures and standards and will
perform construction inspection services, as well as
office engineering and field calculations, to support
the construction of the project in conformance with
these standards.
We bring experienced staff that can identify
potential issue areas before a problem arises.
However, if corrective work is required, we are
sure to have a thorough understanding of what
needs to be done and can quickly inform you of
the options available. Corrections or adjustments
will be executed before work is completed, saving
time and cost of redoing work.
We identify any non -conforming items prior to their
incorporation into the work and immediately notify
the contractor to start corrective action to prevent
additional deficiencies. If the contractor fails to
perform to the specified standards, our team
notifies the City's Project Manager and provide
recommendations for appropriate curative actions.
Submittals & Shop Drawings Reviews
It is the Construction Manager's responsibility
to quickly turn around routine submittals that do
not have a significant design impact and to make
certain that submittals that need to be reviewed
by the designer are complete and to be cost
effectively reviewed. To ensure that submittals
are complete prior to processing, we review each
submittal for compliance with the specifications
before forwarding them for review.
An approach we have successfully used requires
the contractor to assemble a list of submittals
as defined in the construction documents and to
provide a schedule of when the submittals will be
available for review. This completed list is then
distributed to all interested parties for managing
their efforts and identifying the submittals that are
of particular interest to them.
Regulatory Agency and Permit Processing
We check that the contractor has applied for all of
the appropriate permits and will work closely with
the City and contractor to coordinate submittals,
requests, intermediate, and final inspections and
approvals. We ensure that the contractor is in
compliance with City regulations. We monitor all
permits that the contractor is required to obtain for
the project, which will include the following:
• OSHA excavation and shoring permits
• SWPPP (NPDES)
• Building, electrical, and sewer permits
• Grading permits
• Caltrans permits
• Traffic department permits
• Disposal Permit
• Construction Water Permit
• State Division of Industrial Safety Permit
• Right -of -Ways and TCEs
The contractor would stake the TCE limits to ensure
that work activities, equipment and workers do not
extend beyond the allowable TCE limits. This may
sound trivial but even minor extensions on the
TCE limits by placing material (boards, fittings,
etc.) outside the limits can escalate to negative
communication with the property owner and even
claims for additional usage. And at all times during
the project both properties will be secured with
fencing by the contractor.
Once the work is complete, the CM team completes
a TCE site review with pictures and video to
document the final area situation. The property
owner is invited and encouraged to attend this so
that all parties are on the same page.
The Testing/Commissioning Procedures submittal
would be reviewed by the Berg's Lead Inspector
and water specialist, Mike Masengale, would also
be forwarded to the City for comment. This would
be specific to each parameter to ensure when the
SA-7 Facility cutover is accomplished the system
will be up and running with no issues.
The 7-Day Shutdown Activity submittal will also
be reviewed by Mike Masengale and Project
Manager, Dave Smith. It would also be forwarded
to the City for comment. This will be a very high
detailed activity plan to include required work
activities, testing requirements, contingency plans,
contact phone numbers and sufficient float (min 1
day) to allow for minor issues.
Berg & Associates, Inc. 13
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Progress Meetings
Our team will prepare the agenda, chair all
meetings, and issue subsequent meeting notes.
In addition to weekly progress meetings where
safety, anticipated work, schedule, and submittals
are discussed, there may be internal meetings
with the City or issue resolution meetings.
Tailgate, weekly and monthly safety meetings
and third -party coordination meetings will also be
held. For time -critical materials, we encourage
and conduct readiness meetings between the
designer, contractor, and supplier, as -needed, to
expedite the approval process and avoid multiple
re -submittals and the associated loss of time.
Health & Safety
While we do not want to interfere with the
contractor's means and methods of performing
their work, there are several things that we can
do to promote a positive attitude towards best
practices:
• Remind the contractor of the requirement
to implement an approved safety program
• Participate with the contractor in safety
reward lunches
• Report unsafe acts or conditions
• Promote the tracking and posting of project
safety statistics
We conduct a review of the site to verify all safety
measures are in place, and we look beyond
the immediate limits of the project to see if an
unintended consequence is a result of the project
set-up. Our field staff are OSHA and HAZMAT
trained and promote safe practices by pointing
out equipment or situations that are not safe and
praising a safe work approach. Berg will ensure
that the contractor is made aware of and follows
the most current City, cunty, and CDC Health
mandates, such as those designed to protect
workers, staff, and the public from the transmission
of COVID-19 and variants.
Progress Payments
A crucial task for our Inspector is to verify quantities
for recommended payment of the contractor's
monthly pay application. Spreadsheets are used
to track bid items such as the amount of concrete
used for each concrete mix design, the amount
of asphalt placed per mix and day, the amount of
aggregate base placed, etc. This is also used to
ensure quality assurance testing frequencies are
met in a timely manner.
Our Contracts Administrator will receive and review
Certified Payroll Documents to ensure timely
submissions are received. They compare certified
payroll submissions to our inspector's daily reports
to verify consistency. They will generate a list of
all contractors that worked each week and will
confirm that corresponding CPR's were received
or a `no work performed' statement provided.
Our Project Manager will receive, review, and
recommend to the City for payment the construction
contractor's pay applications, having verified
quantities and pertinent supporting documentation.
All pay items are documented on Quantity Sheets
(Q Sheets) per Caltrans procedures. Timely
processing of progress payments represents a
significant factor for the success of the project.
As part of the monitoring and verification process,
we calculate and forecast to asses if a bid item
will exceed 5% of the original bid quantity. If we
find this is the case, we will be able to notify the
City with enough advance notice to take corrective
action or facilitate a change order. It is important
to encourage the contractor to submit timely billing
and then to pay quickly for verified work completed
to avoid delay claims.
Berg & Associates, Inc. 14
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Typically, we encourage the contractor to meet
with us prior to formal submission of the progress
payment request to make certain that there are no
miscommunications that might delay review and
approval. In addition to verification of quantities to
ensure that the contractor is not being overpaid,
the review includes:
• Review of as -built documentation to make
certain that it is up to date.
• Review of on -site materials advance
payments (if allowed under contract) to
make certain that materials previously
paid for remain properly stored and, if
incorporated into the work, are deducted
from the advance installed price.
• Review of amounts withheld to correct
any significant deficiencies that have been
identified but not corrected.
Reporting
Consistent and complete recording of project
progress is important to keep City staff informed
of what is happening, to provide a comprehensive
record of work performed and the quality of that
work, and to have accurate documentation in the
event that there is a change or claim. Daily reports
are one tool to make certain that all pertinent
information is gathered, including:
• Climate conditions and their effect, if any,
on work activities
• Number of workers by trades, including
shift work
• Material and equipment
• Construction activities by trade and
location
• Special inspections
• Deficient or repeated work
• Observations of work completed
• Interesting or unusual occurrences
• Any work -related, off -site activity
• Work -related discussions,
correspondence, or visitors to the site
Our monthly reports will contain a construction
progress status update to provide you with a
management level overview of construction
progress and issues. In each case, we address
how we are proceeding to resolve issues. Weekly
reports contain "look -ahead" schedules, list of
meetings, a summary of work activities, and
schedule updates from the week. These reports
are very important for monitoring the contractor's
schedule and having a detailed look into each
week of the project including:
• Total work days, weather and manpower
statistics
• Status of potential changes and change
orders
• Representative progress photos
Punch -Lists
Once substantial completion occurs, a punch list
is developed of items requiring the contractor's
attention to be completed. Our team will schedule
the final inspection once the punch list has been
delivered. Sufficient payments will be held back
so that discrepancy lists are completed in a timely
manner.
Redline As-Builts
Our team will maintain redline as -built plans
throughout construction. As RFIs and design
clarifications are issued, we incorporate the
changes into the redline as -built plans. Any
additional contractor as -built deviations from the
design documents are included in the redline as -
built plans. At the conclusion of the construction
phase, we forward the redline as -built plan to
you for preparation of the project's official as -built
plans.
Close-out
All changes must be reflected on the as -built plans.
All claims and payment items must be negotiated
and finalized for final payment. Final payment
retention will not be released until acceptance of
the project by appropriate authorities.
As construction work approaches completion, we
work with the contractor to coordinate the collection
of warranties, guarantees, lien releases, spare
parts, operation and maintenance manuals, and
record documentation. We review documentation
to make certain that it is in the proper format and
contains the information required by contract.
We compile this information to verify that all
documentation is complete prior to issuing a
Certificate of Substantial Completion.

SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
On -Call Capital Improvement Program I City of
Santa Monica
Berg currently holds an on -call contract for various CIP
projects that began in January of 2016.
FY 15/16 Annual Water Replacement. This $1.4 million
project constructed along Ocean Avenue included
upgrades to the City's waterline distribution system,
and restored asphalt roadway paving and striping.
After approximately 2,000 ft. of existing water main was
replaced, 110,000 square feet of Ocean Avenue roadway
was ground and capped with rubberized hot mix asphalt.
The work began next to the highly congested entrance to
the Santa Monica Pier and included consistent outreach
to the business and residential communities.
FY 18/19 Annual Water Replacement. This $4.9 million
project had similar elements to the FY 15/16 project but on
a larger, more complex scale. The replacement of 7,000
ft. of water mains were scattered throughout the city at
10 different locations. Some locations were residential,
and some were commercial, and some were both. The
projects biggest challenge of keeping all stakeholders informed was successfully met by the CM team.
FY 19/20 Annual Water Replacement. This third fiscal year water main project involves 13 project
locations that encompass businesses, residences, and schools. Work includes installation of 8" and 12"
PVC and PVCO, rehabilitation of existing pipe, installation of new gate valves, new fire hydrants, and
service lines, as well as connections to existing systems, chlorination, flushing, pressure testing, and
reconstruction of the trench and roadway to final grade. It also entails extensive traffic control, coordination
of existing services, and replacement of damaged traffic loops detectors.
Frisbie Park Sewer Lift Station I City of Rialto
Berg provided construction management, inspection, and
certified payroll services for the construction of a sewer lift
station, a force main, storm drain modifications, and two
gravity lines within a park in Rialto.
Work that contained roadway improvements required
cold -milling, construction of ADA ramps, double adjusted
manholes, backfill and compaction tests, and installation of
traffic loops. The 4-month project also included installation
of new 4-inch diameter PVC pipe and 8-inch diameter
clay pipe. Much emphasis was placed on coordination
with the utility companies for the project. The Berg Team
encountered several utility companies delays but was able
to coordinate with utility executives to resolve the issues
and to move the project faster towards completion.
Berg & Associates, Inc. 16
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Water Pipeline Replacement Improvement Project
City of El Segundo
Berg served as primary construction manager for this Bid -
Build project. Approximately 950 feet of existing old water
mains, located primarily on two residential streets, were
replaced with 8" —12" ductile iron pipe. In addition, 22 water
services and 2 fire hydrants were replaced. The project
included laying of new pipe, installation of gate valves, fire
hydrants, meters, air relief valves and associated laterals
as well as connections to existing systems, chlorination,
flushing, pressure testing, and reconstruction of the trench
and roadway to final grade. Additionally, 2 existing valves
were removed and replaced at the request of the water
department. This extra work was tracked and paid on a
T&M basis.
Mike served as lead inspector, overseeing the contractor's
daily activities, monitoring contractor schedule and
provided issue -resolutions in the field.
Pacific Coast Highway at Hawthorne Boulevard
Intersection Improvement Project I City of Torrance
The first phase of this two-part project replaced the
water main at the intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard
and Pacific Coast Highway and included work with 8",
12", and 16" water lines. With many shops in the area,
it was important to properly implement traffic control so
construction would not impede on access to businesses.
Other project services included trench excavation, pipe
laying, sidewalk reconstruction, cold milling, HMA paving
operations, pavement striping, and curb making. The
project also included streetlights, traffic signal systems,
and the installation of traffic signal loop detectors.
The second phase of this project has just kicked off and
will widen the intersection at Hawthorne Boulevard and
Pacific Coast Highway to in order to create dual left-hand
turn lanes and right -turn pockets at all four approaches.
New PCC pavement sections will generally consist of
Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) over Lean
Concrete Base (LCB) over Class 3 Aggregate Base.
The project will also include traffic signals, a water main
installation, relocation of catch basins, a small retaining
wall, new landscape, and irrigation.
Success Story: When the contractor had significant weather delays, Berg's inspector made sure to
inspect the traffic control set-up and message boards even when the contractor was not working. He
discovered that the contractor had a defunct message board that would stop working, so he documented
the issue and worked with the contractor to make sure there was always effective traffic control in place.
Berg & Associates, Inc. 17
SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project
Construction Management & Inspection Services
Raymond Avenue Grade Separation I City of
Fullerton
Berg served as Prime construction manager providing a
full service 9 person CM team for the City of Fullerton's
Raymond Avenue Grade Separation. The project
which is one of seven grade separations within the OC
Bridges Program, included the construction of a vehicle
undercrossing rail bridge, a pump station, and the
relocation of multiple wet and dry utilities including the
"Orange County Feeder," a 42-inch spiral steel pipeline
owned by the Metropolitan Water District.
Berg provided resident engineering, complete construction
management and quality assurance services for the
project. Pump station work included fabrication and
installation, setting the pumps, fine tuning controls, and
installing piping, catwalks, and handrails with features
such as electrical systems, control systems, gas detection
systems, fall protection systems, and an intrusion detection
system.
The Berg Team worked closely with third -party utilities —
the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), Southern California
Edison (SCE), AT&T, Time Warner Cable and SoCal Gas —to coordinate utility relocation sequencing. One
utility, the "OC Feeder," required frequent watering and dewatering which was necessary to flush the line
in order to perform bacteriological tests. It also required coordination with other projects occurring along
the pipeline. Specifically, the City of Fullerton water line, which had to be completed in multiple stages.
Staging of utility work so that existing utilities remained in service while installing new utilities became an
issue. To solve this, the Berg Team carefully modeled a work sequence that would ensure minimal impact
to businesses and residents during construction while maintaining the construction schedule. The hour -
by -hour schedule for connections was approved two weeks in advance and readiness reviews were held
the week prior to shut down.
See below references for projects where similar work was performed within the past five years.

Notes from Project Manager, Dave Smith, PE, QSD
A. Issue: The Contract time noted in the Specifications does not allow for the work to be completed
within the requirements as identified in the RFP.
1. Project commences 11/1/21, has 450 WD's, plus the 80 WD for PH-2 (per Addendum) and therefore,
must end-12/15/23 (See items B.1 & B.2 below).
2. Cannot begin SR-55 Jack & Bore till 7/1/22 and this operation is to take 4 months (See items B.3, .4, .5
& .6 below), therefore Jack & Bore begins on WD 167 and ends on WD 250.
3. Cannot begin SA-7 Pressure Reducing Facility Phase 1 until SR-55 Jack & Bore is done (See Item B.6
below), therefore SA-7 Ph-1 begins WD 251 and ends -40 WD later WD 291.
4. Caltrans to complete RCB adjacent to SA-7 facility between Phase 1 & 2, and is allowed 12 months to
complete this (See Item 7), therefore Caltrans RCB work begins WD 291 and ends WD 537.
5. SA-7 Ph-2 cannot commence until Caltrans RCB window (12 months) is complete and SA-7 Ph-2/
Closeout is allowed to take 4 months, therefore this work begins WD 537 and ends WD 617.
6. Based on critical path, the contract would take an additional -80 WD's beyond the allotted 530 WD's.
B.Background
1. The provided Contract Specifications (section PRPOSAL, page P-6 of P-21) indicate the Contractor has
450 working days to complete all work except PH-2, and PH-2 is allowed 80 working days. Addendum
2 identified these as not concurrent therefore requiring 530 WD. This is approximately 26 months total.
2. The CM RFP section INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND, page A1-1, 1st paragraph, states that
construction to begin fall of 2021. For these purposes, we have assumed begin November 1, 2021.
3. The CM RFP section INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND, subsection Location of Project Sites, page A1-
3, 3rd paragraph, states that construction in the new Santa Ana (Western Exterminators) right of way
and easements may not commence until June or July 2022. For these purposes, we have assumed
July 1, 2022.
4. The CM RFP section INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND, subsection Location of Project Sites, pageA1-
3, 5th paragraph, states that construction in the RICOH right of way and easements may not commence
until June or July 2022. For these purposes, we have assumed July 1, 2022.
5. The CM RFP section ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS/INFORMATION, subsection D
Sequence of Construction, page Al-7, paragraph 2 and 3, reiterate comments 3 and 4 noted above.
6. The CM RFP section ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS/INFORMATION, subsection D
Sequence of Construction, sub -item 1, page A1-7, states that construction of the jack and bore under
the SR-55 shall be completed prior to construction of the relocated SA-7 Facility, and that the Jack &
Bore to be assumed to take 4 months.
7. The CM RFP section ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS/INFORMATION, subsection D
Sequence of Construction, sub -items 6, 7 & 8, page Al-8, states that:
a. The Freeway Widening project can not begin until the existing SA-7 facility is taken out of
service (new one is in service, Phase 1),
b. No new site improvements can be constructed on the Caltrans easement until Caltrans
contractor has constructed their new 8' x 4' RCB. These new site improvements are known as
Phase 2.
c. The Caltrans work is to be assumed to take 12 months.
C. Potential Resolutions
1. Extend the Contract time to allow for the needed time of Caltrans 12 month window. This would
increase the time by approx. 80 WD's to approx. 600.
2. Make the portion of the Caltrans window that does not have contract work on it, non -contract working
days as long as the City contractor is not working. This would add approximately 4 months (80 WD's).
3. Allow all submittals and pipe procurement to occur during an administrative NTP and begin the Project
construction (NTP) at a later date instead of November 2021 (see item B.2 above).

OWNER's facilities in the new location and that OWNER shall give credit OCTA for the accrued
depreciation for the replaced facilities and for the salvage value of any material or parts salvaged and
retained or sold by OWNER.

detailed itemized progress bills for costs incurred not to exceed OWNER's recorded costs as of the
billing date less estimated credits applicable to completed work. Payment of progress bills not to

OWNER's facilities (if required), OCTA will provide written notification to OWNER of its intent to close

Agreement shall be executed by the parties to this Agreement prior to the payment of the OWNER's
final bill. Any and all increases in costs that are the direct result of deviations from the work described
in Section I of this Agreement, shall have the prior concurrence of OCTA.

three years from the dale of the final payment and will be available for audit by OCTA and or Federal

determines payments to be unallowable, OWNER agrees to reimburse AGENCY upon receipt of
AGENCY billing. If OWNER is subject to repayment due to failure by OCTA to comply with applicable
laws, regulations, and ordinances, then OCTA will ensure that OWNER is compensated for actual
cost in performing work under this agreement.
