Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with Hill International, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $967,500 subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. DISCUSSION The First Street Bridge over the Santa Ana River consists of two travel lanes in each direction; however, the street leading onto the bridge has three lanes (Exhibit 1). During rush hour, the bridge becomes a bottleneck that severely impedes traffic flow. To improve the situation, construction contract documents were prepared to widen the bridge to three lanes in each direction with pedestrian sidewalks on both sides and widening of the bridge approaches. Award of the construction contract is to be presented for the Council's approval at the March 21, 2011 meeting. Since the bridge construction is a highly specialized scope of work, and to ensure safe and high- quality construction, on November 15, 2010 the City Council approved the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified construction management firm with experience in bridge construction. Subsequently, RFPs were sent to 11 consulting engineering firms, including three located in Santa Ana. Three firms submitted proposals, including one Santa Ana firm. An evaluation committee rated the proposals according to qualifications, experience, and capacity to perform the required work. Based on the proposals submitted, the scores for the firms are as follows: RATING SCORE Hill International, Inc. 1 91 URS Corporation 2 86 Anderson-Penna Partners, Inc. 3 79 25E-1 Agreement with Hill International for First Street Bridge Construction Management Services Over the Santa Ana River March 21, 2011 Page 2 The proposal from Hill International was highly rated based on its detailed scope of services, understanding of the project, qualifications, and experience with similar projects. It was the top-ranked firm based on technical merit. Hill submitted a fee proposal in the amount of $1,179,750. Staff has negotiated the fee and agreed to a fee in an amount that will not exceed $967,500. This includes a 1.7 percent contingency fund to compensate Hill if the construction contract exceeds 24 months. Staff recommends Hill International, Inc. be retained for the project. Hill has extensive experience with construction management of similar bridge construction project, and a fair and reasonable fee.

GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Santa Ana plans to replace the First Street Bridge over the Santa Ana River from four travel lanes to six lanes including sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide construction management services for the project. Preliminary Plans and Specifications are available for review by the proposer at the office of the Construction Engineer of the City of Santa Ana, located at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Ross Street Annex, Third floor. The City is anticipating advertising the project by January 2011, awarding by March 2011, and starting construction by May 2011. However, there may be delays in selecting the consultant due to the pre-award audit as required by Chapter 10 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure Manual. There is no longer a pre-award audit requirement for contracts under $1 million dollars. The proposed bridge replacement is partially funded with Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) funds, which are administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with local oversight by Caltrans. The remaining funding is locally funded by the City. The bridge is identified as bridge #55C0022 in the Caitrans Bridge Inventory. Construction cost of the project is estimated at $10.5 million with an estimated construction time of 24 months. The proposer shall prepare a fee and reimbursable expenses proposal according to Subsection B of Section XI - RULES FOR PROPOSAL of this RFP. The proposal shall be limited to 15 pages, excluding appendix materials. A cover letter shall summarize salient points of the proposal and guarantee that the proposed personnel will be committed to the project as represented, and shall not be removed or replaced without the City's written consent. 2 25E-23 A. Construction and phasing The existing bridge consists of two separate structures: a north structure and a south structure that were built at different times. It is crucial for f=irst Street to remain operational during construction, so one through-lane in each direction will remain open during construction. In addition to the bridge structure, the project will be completed with the changing of the roadway approaches to meet the alignment of the new bridge. Construction of the new bridge will occur in two phases starting with the north structure. Work of this project consists of: Phase 1: North Structure Phase 1 begins with redirecting all traffic onto the existing south structure, one lane in each direction. Demolition Demolition of portions of the north structure to include superstructure and foundation, such as columns, wall piers, footings, and pile caps. The piles and drilled shafts of the existing bridge structure will be cut off one foot below the channel invert. Construction Construction includes the placement of the new bridge foundation elements during dry season as well as upper portions of the bridge superstructure, such as girders and deck. Placement of the superstructure of the bridge is not required to be conducted within the dry season. A new retaining wall will be built in the northeast quadrant of the bridge. Phase 2 :South Structure After completion of the new portion of the bridge, traffic will be routed onto it, and the south portion will be demolished. Demolition The Phase 2 demolition encompasses the same demolition activities as Phase 1, but they will occur on the existing south bridge structure. Construction Phase 2 construction will encompass activities similar to Phase 1 but on the south portion of the bridge. Also, a new retaining wall will be built in the southwest quadrant of the bridge. 3 25E-24 S. Pry and Wet Season Activities All demolition activities and some construction activities will take place only in the dry season, April 30 to October 1 annually, due to seasonal constraints of working in the riverbed. Therefore, it may take approximately two dry seasons to complete the new bridge. C. Detour for Overhead Construction Activities The bike trail along the river will remain open during both Phases 1 and 2. However, certain construction activities which would pose a hazard to bike trail uses, such as demolition of the existing bridge and erection of the precast girders for the new bridge, will require a temporary detour of the bike trail. During these activities, both northbound and southbound cyclists will have to exit prior to First Street at either McFadden Avenue or Fifth Street. II.

Additionally, Jose Burbano, as construction inspector, will apply his multitude of roadway and structures inspection experiences to fulfill his duties and responsibilities on the project. His responsibilities will include those shown to the right. Quality, Schedule, and Budget Control Methods Hill provides project controls, estimating services and management information systems services to clients across the construction industry. Hill has successfully tailored information systems to the reporting needs of the owner. This includes tracking and reporting of schedules, financials, and technical and quality parameters. We employ unique systems to control, coordinate, process, and retrieve pertinent project information aimed at controlling scope, cost, and schedule. Hill provides computerized document control software to record and manage the flow of paperwork throughout the project. Hill provides access to owner and key parties, as well as training, to provide an 111111111L City of Santa Ana I Public Works Agency Page 18 First Street Bridge Replacement I Construction Management 25E-43 open line of traceable communication between parties and to always keep the owner informed. With Hill's project control systems, managing and coordinating change orders and time/cost-analysis assures owners that they are charged fairly for incremental work and are protected from paying for work that has been deleted due to change orders. The key is to resolve any change-order issues quickly so the project avoids delay and resulting cost overruns. Hill International has successfully prepared cost estimates on projects ranging from the thousands to the billions of dollars in support of planning, design, and construction, as well as support in the resolution of claims. Our Project Controls Department ensures the accurate estimation of construction costs by becoming a partner with the assigned A/E team with one goal: provide a design that is within budget, on time, and meets the design goals of the owner. Our approach to estimating is simple-provide as much detail as possible in a well-organized manner. Hill's estimating services include program budget estimates, conceptual estimates, progress design estimates, and estimating support during construction. i ` Hill's time management and scheduling services use state-of-the art computer systems to develop a master project schedule in addition to individual schedules for each project. We sequence construction to maximize value and minimize site disruptions. Design phase scheduling covers the development of 1 all design phase activities including: team review/coordination meetings, milestone delivery dates for all project deliverables, cost estimates, and owner approvals. At the beginning of the construction phase, I Hill's scheduler works with the contractor to develop a detailed construction schedule in order to identify any constraints in meeting the contract requirements and to validate that the contractor has sufficiently developed the sequencing and phasing of all construction tasks. On a regular basis (weekly/monthly), I we review the construction schedule with the contractor to identify any problems and to assist in the ? development of a detailed time line that helps short range implementation of the detailed schedule. If the review detects an item that may delay the project, we work with the contractor to develop a recovery schedule as required to maintain contractual requirements for completion. r; _ EXHIBIT "C" Cost Proposal 1.
