DISCUSSION
On November 4, 2020, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals (RFP)
No. 20-129 to seek the services of a professional engineering firm to provide complete
plans, specifications, and a cost estimate (PS&E) for new electrical and security lighting
systems for the Pacific Electric Bike Trail - Phase 2 project and the Sandpointe Park
project (Exhibit 1). The scope of work includes preparation of the plans, specifications,
and estimate package including, but not limited to, lighting plans and construction details.
The RFP was advertised on the City’s online procurement management and publication
system with proposals due on November 24, 2020. Nine proposals were received and
evaluated by a selection committee. The top three scoring firms were invited to participate
in electronic interviews for final selection. Following the interviews, IDS Group was
selected as the most qualified firm for construction management of the project and as
such, staff recommends awarding an agreement to the firm (Exhibit 2). Their proposal
demonstrated a high degree of technical competence and experience performing similar
services. The proposal contains a clear path toward achieving City goals and objectives
as required by the RFP. The following summarizes the responding firms and their ranking.

Section2:ScopeofSe rvicesandSchedule
Our mission at IDS is to deliver a quality project to our clients. To achieve this goal, a carefully thought out plan, in
which both client and IDS agree on the project scope and an approach that will result in a successful project.
The project scope involves the preparation of Construction Documents suitable for bidding and plan check approval to
include new electrical and area lighting systems for Pacific Electric Bike Trail and Sandpointe Park.
The following is a step-by-step approach that was outlined in the City of Santa Ana’s RFP and that IDS has
implemented on many successful projects as well:
Task 1: Preliminary Engineering:
Preliminary Engineering shall include one Kick-off meeting with City Staff to discuss scope of work, project required
tasks and objectives, potential elements and issues, and schedule. Preliminary Engineering will also include field work
and subsequent meetings with City staff as required for preparation of site plans.
Engineering and Design tasks include, but may not be limited to:
Identify the locations where all of the above ground equipment and light standards will be installed. City shall
provide topography maps;
Identify all the underground utilities are located to eliminate field conflicts. IDS will utilize our in-house Civil
Engineering, and
IDS will coordinate with Southern California Edison (SCE) from application filing through construction and until the
installation is complete and system is energized from SCE. Our proposal assumes electrical service upgrade is
required for both projects.
Task 2: Design Development (30% plans)
Design development will involve the development of electrical system improvements for security lighting as outlined in
the preliminary engineering phase to address project required tasks and shall include preliminary electrical engineering
plans and cost estimate. Should project scope exceed available budget, project plans/specifications will be value
engineered or phased as appropriate.
Engineering and design required tasks shall include, but may not be limited to:
Title Sheet (City provide template)
Electrical & Lighting plans
Photometrics
Panel schedules
Single line diagrams
Details and notes
Structural Calculations and details for lighting pole base foundations as required
