A. PRE -PROPOSAL RESEARCH
Transtech conducted a preliminary research of the project to gain a better
understanding of the extent of the scope and effort needed for this project. Preliminary
research also included discussing project requirements and conditions with the City's
Traffic Engineering staff.
We submitted a letter to the City describing our understanding of various project
components, to ensure that our understanding of the project is confirmed by the City
staff who will be involved in the approval of the scope of work, and of the final product
expected of the selected consultant. We appreciated your traffic engineering staff
members who took the time to go over these issues with us, and assisted us to gain a
better understanding of the project.
We also conducted a preliminary field review of the project locations to identify, if any,
potential field issues/difficulties that would impact the scope and effort.
We are confident that we have developed a good and clear understanding of the project
and the City's expectations.
The following pages provide pictures and our pre -proposal review findings.

Project Location and Description as stated by the City on Page 8 (Appendix A) of
the RFP:
Prepare plans and specifications for the installation of protected/permissive left -turn
signals for all directions of Traffic. Install new poles with mast arms.
Our comments per preliminary investigation:
When new protected/permissive phasing is installed at
Highland Avenue and E Street Traffic Signal, the existing
cycle length will have to be longer. Currently, there is an
existing synchronization system along Highland Avenue
between Muscupiabe Drive and Sierra Way. This system
includes two Caltrans Freeway Ramp Signals as well.
The proposed phasing change at Highland Avenue and E
Street Traffic Signal may require an adjustment
(increase) in the system cycle length. Signal
synchronization retiming will require Caltrans
review/approval.

Our preliminary research also included discussing project requirements and conditions
with the City's Traffic Engineering staff. We submitted a letter to the City describing our
understanding of various project components, to ensure that our understanding of the
project is confirmed by the City staff who will be involved in the approval of the scope of
work, and of the final product expected of the selected consultant. We appreciated your
traffic engineering staff members who took the time to go over these issues with us, and
assisted us to gain a better understanding of the project. Our comments and City's
response are summarized below:
Right-of-way: Typically, on a signal design project, Consultant would assume that all
proposed improvements would be installed within existing public right-of-way. The Consultant
would check existing right-of-way maps, which would be provided by the City, to verify that the
proposed improvements are within the existing right-of-way. However, if during the review it is
found that additional right-of-way is required or the maps are incorrect, the City will perform the
necessary work relating to right-of-way issues, such as, preparation of right-of-way documents,
acquisition documents, legal descriptions and plans, etc.
Time Space Diagrams: This work task will be performed as part of the interconnect work.
The City will not provide any counts. The Consultant shall take new AM/PM turning movement
Counts for a period of 2 hours at all signalized locations (where existing count data is not
current or usable). The Consultant shall use the SYNCHRO program to generate time -space
diagrams (one for AM and one for PM period). The Consultant shall prepare interconnect and
individual signal timing plans. The timing plans shall be prepared in BITRAN format for City
signals. The Consultant shall be responsible to coordinate and obtain Caltrans' approval for the
new timing at Caltrans locations. The Consultant shall be responsible for the implementation of
the timing plans into field controllers. And conduct after implementation review (after runs) and
make any field adjustments to the timing as necessary.
Drainage Issues: During field reviews, the Consultant shall note any apparent drainage issues
and inform the City for appropriate action.
Traffic Control: For this type of project, separate traffic control plans for traffic signal work is
not necessary. The specifications will include a section regarding traffic control requirement by
referring to Caltrans Traffic Manual, and WATCH Manual.
Sidewalks and access ramps in compliance with ADA for new signals and signal
upgrades: This task would be limited to the immediate area within the curb returns where
new signal poles are being installed. New sidewalk and ADA ramps will be shown on Signal
Plans with a reference note to applicable standard plan.
Progress meetings: On a project this type, monthly meetings would be sufficient. In addition,
the Consultant design staff would be in constant communication with City project staff to discuss
project, issues, progress, questions without requiring formal meetings. Such discussions are
not limited to formal meetings and can be held on as needed basis as part of the project design
effort.
The following page includes City's response to our comments.

B. SCOPE OF WORK
THE FOLLOWING ARE VARIOUS TASKS THAT WILL BE PERFORMED BY
TRANSTECH ON THIS PROJECT:
Assemble Existing Data:
Assemble and review available information pertaining to the project, including existing
survey data, as -built improvement plans, City map, aerial photographs, utility
information, and other available record data.
Field Surveys:
Field reviews will be performed to identify and/or verify existing conditions such as
existing traffic control devices, deficient pavement within the area of proposed loops,
potential utility conflicts, etc. The field surveys will be conducted by senior level traffic
engineers to ensure not only physical conditions are properly identified, but also other
improvements that may enhance the safety of the intersection as well as may be
necessary for compliance with the current design codes. Recommendations will be
developed and submit to City on Transtech's "standard recommendation sheets" for
approval.
Site Photos:
Photos (5" x 7" prints) or hard copy digital photos (photo quality with 1280 x 960
minimum resolution) will be provided with the submittal of the detailed
recommendations. Photos will be mounted and clearly labeled on 8-1 /2-inch by 11-
inch stock and will show existing cabinets and hardware, existing services, TS
standards, and all approaches of the intersection.
Utility Coordination:
Coordinate with the utility companies in order to identify all existing underground and
overhead utility lines which may interfere with the installation of proposed traffic signal
equipment. For electrical services, will coordinate with Southern California Edison
Company.
Potholing for Utility Verification:
At locations where a concentration of existing underground utilities are identified after
utility record search, we will conduct potholing to verify exact location and depth of
utilities which potentially interfere with the signal pole foundations. We will use
SafeProbe's nondestructive excavation technique to locate utilities and subsurface
structures, and to determine their depths below ground. The service is provided utilizing
a truck containing a soil agitator and a powerful vacuuming device, along with a storage
container with state-of-the-art electronic equipment. SafeProbe conducts an electronic
subsurface survey to locate and mark the position, path and estimated depth of all
existing utilities. Potholing is performed using the air/vacuum soil extraction method for
the purpose of locating, marking, measuring and recording the exact location of the

rTRANSTECH
existing underground utilities. Vacuum excavation utilizes the kinetic energy in a high
velocity air stream to penetrate, expand and break up soil. The loosened chunks of soil
and small rocks are then removed from the hole through the use of a very powerful
vacuum. In this way, a hole is created that is typically 10 inches to two feet round or
square, and as deep as required to expose the buried utility. The major advantages
offered by vacuum excavation are safety, cost effectiveness and time efficiency
(substantially less expensive than and operation takes half the time of conventional
potholing method). This state-of-the-art technology, designed to identify and excavate
to locate subsurface structures and utilities, is a nondestructive method with respect to
the subsurface systems, and will never damage the buried utility. It is a soft -touch dig,
suck and seek method of potholing. The test hole is then backfilled with the original soil
unless permit regulations require a special fill. All holes are compacted in 6" stick lifts to
provide maximum compaction and to maintain future integrity of the hole, and pavement
is restored in -kind.
PS&E (plans, specifications, estimates):
• Design parameters will conform to latest guidelines of the State of California Traffic
and Highway Design Manuals, the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), local agency standards, American Public Works Association
Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, and the latest editions of Public
Works Standard Plans, and Specifications (Green Book), and/or Caltrans Standard
Plans, and Standard Specifications, and "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways
and Streets (AASHTO)."
• Controllers, controller operation, signal phasing, and detector patterns will be in
conformance with applicable agency standards and shall be clearly shown on the
traffic signal plans.
• Discussions will be held with the City staff regarding City's requirements and
procedures affecting the construction of the project which, in our opinion, would not
lead to the best results when applied to the project, and recommendations will be
made for alternative methods and options.
• Construction cost estimates will be prepared in detail on Transtech's standard
construction cost data sheets.
• In addition to signal design, the City will be advised as to the necessity and manner
of providing or obtaining services related to the site, such as right of way, utility
surveys, and pavement deficiencies.
• Traffic Control Plans: Separate traffic control plans will not be prepared, as such
plans would not be necessary for traffic signal construction work. Traffic control will
be covered by referring to applicable standards of Work Area Traffic Control
Handbook) WATCH and Caltrans Traffic Manual.
• Signing and Striping Plans: Separate signing and striping plans will not be prepared.
Any signing and striping changes necessary as a result of the traffic signal
construction will be shown on traffic signal plans.
• Specifications, bid package, contract documents: Transtech will prepare
new/updated specifications per current edition of Standard Specifications for Public
Works (Green Book), including administrative front section. Transtech will utilize
tried and tested technical specifications and special provisions suited specifically for
Submitted to: Submitted by:
Proposal For Professional Traffic Engineering Services (Federally Funded Project) Page 30
TRANSTECH
this type of project. Transtech's library of specification clauses are also well suited
to provide appropriate best management practices and requirements of the
contractor consistent with the provisions of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) and the Clean Water Act.
• Final Design: Based on the City's comments and requirements, revise the plans,
specifications, and estimates. Upon final approval, submit final original plans,
specifications, and estimates to the City for bidding purposes. Final design plans
will show all necessary information in adequate detail to permit construction directly
there from and indicate and delineate all details necessary for a construction
contractor. They will be prepared in AutoCAD format, and electronic files will be
provided to the City.
• The final product to be provided by Transtech is an approved set of complete plans,
specifications and estimates ready for bidding with all supporting data, calculations
and other details necessary to complete the project in a format acceptable to the
City. Plans and specifications will conform to the requirements of the City of San
Bernardino, and the Standard Plans and Specifications for Public Works
Construction (Green Book), latest edition with traffic signals referring to Caltrans
Standard specifications, Section 86 and Caltrans Standard Plans (instead of using
Section 307 of Green Book).
interconnect/Signal Timing:
We will take new AM/PM turning movement counts for a period of 2 hours at signalized
locations (where current and usable count data is not available) identified as a part of
interconnect system and requiring new signal timing. We will use the SYNCHRO
program to generate time -space diagrams (one for AM and one for PM period). We will
prepare interconnect and individual signal timing plans. The timing plans will be
prepared in BITRAN format for City signals. We will field implement the timing plans at
City locations, including inputting timing into 170 controllers, after implementation of the
field conditions (after runs consisting of AM and PM periods, and final field adjustment
of the timing plans.
Caltrans Encroachment Permit and Coordination:
At locations under State jurisdiction, we will coordinate with Caltrans for review,
approval and Encroachment Permit.
Coordination with City of Highland:
For the East Highland interconnect project (TC04-09), we will coordinate with the City of
Highland.
Constructability Reviewlin-house Independent Plan Check:
Transtech understands that the quality, accuracy and correctiveness of the products
prepared by Transtech are the full responsibility of Transtech. The review by and
approval of the products by the City staff as well as all other involved agencies does not
relieve us, of any liability and responsibility.
Plan Signature by Registered Traffic Engineer:
Submitted to: Submitted by:
C Proposal For Professional Traffic Engineering Services (Federally Funded Project) Page 31
TRQNSTECH
The City's RFP states that the plans shall be signed by a registered traffic engineer.
However, per state law, traffic engineering license is not acceptable alone on any
construction plans. Therefore, the plans will be signed by our Project
Manager/Engineer, Elie Farah, who is both registered civil and traffic engineer.
Permit Engineering Evaluation Report (PEER) and Fact Sheet (Optional Item -not
part of base scope and fee- may or may not be necessary, can only be determined
during preliminary design development):
When required by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), we
will prepare and submit PEER and/or Fact Sheets to Caltrans as necessary in
accordance with Caltrans' standards. A PEER will be prepared when the traffic or other
actions generated adversely affect operation and/or maintenance of a state highway or
there is potential to expose Caltrans to tort liability suits. The PEER will include review
of the proposed improvements to determine drainage, maintenance, and operational
and environmental impacts on state highway systems. All, exceptions to mandatory and
advisory design standards will be documented by the required Fact Sheets and
attached to the PEER.
Answering Questions and Preparing Addenda during Bidding Process
Our Project Manager will answer any questions asked during the bidding phase, and
prepare necessary addenda to answer questions and provide additional clarifications.
Attending Pre -Bid Meeting (Optional Item -not part of base scope and fee)
If the City decides to hold a pre -bid meeting, and requests attendance by our Project
Manager/Engineer, we will attend the pre -bid meeting with the City and bidders.
Support during Construction Phase:
This request for proposal does not include construction management and inspection
services. However, we will be available to provide any support services and to answer
questions on as needed basis during construction. We will continue to make our
services available during the construction phase of the project to address and correct
the plans and other material prepared by us. We will provide interpretation and/or
clarification of the approved construction documents as they specifically relate to the
design, design intent, and execution of the Project. All interpretations and clarifications
shall be subject to final approval by the City. In the case this is required due to errors
and omissions on our behalf, this service will be provided at no cost to Public Works.
However, plan revisions and change orders requested by the City due to unforeseen
conditions which may arise during the construction will be paid at hourly rates.
As -Built Plans (Optional Item -not part of base scope and fee)
When requested by the County, we will prepare as -built plans.
Samples of various work products prepared by Transtech are provided in the following

C. PROJECT CONTROL APPROACH
VALUE ENGINEERING
Value engineering is a continuous and evolving function throughout the entire
preliminary and design phases of the project. Value engineering is treated as an
integral part of developing design criteria and ultimate incorporation into the project
plans, specifications and estimates. Integrating value engineering throughout the
project significantly reduces the chance of a major design alternative being identified by
a "value engineering team" after the project is designed, which would cause a
tremendous redesign effort and considerable time delays.
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE (QC/QA) PROGRAM
QC/QA is an important process in Transtech's project management. This process
provides an objective review of the work done with a different set of eyes. We will
provide an extensive check of the plans before each milestone submittal. This check is
provided by senior engineers with experience in the applicable field. The quality control
check sheets will show who checked/reviewed the plans or reports, signature and date
of review.
Transtech has an extensive in-house QC/QA program to prevent design errors and
construction change orders. We can proudly state that we have not had any
construction cost change orders relating to our plans in our design projects. Since 1989
that we have been in business, there has been not a single claim against our E & O
insurance.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our approach is to provide proactive management to control every aspect of a project in
detail to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions
before they become problems. This requires extensive hands-on knowledge,
experience and management skills of the people involved in the project.
Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in designing
and managing such complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and
budget. Our staff members have educational background and are licensed and certified
properly.

Key Transtech project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings
with City staff throughout the project duration. Transtech will keep track of all directions
given and commitments made. Our record keeping in this arena is unparalleled. Our
systems are structured such that recall of critical information is available on a moment's
notice. Transtech will provide project status reports which updates, at a minimum, the
status on the schedule, budget, and pending issues requiring attention. Transtech will
ensure timely turn -a -round for submittal and/or substitution request approvals, and will
maintain a log to track when submittals are received, approved, by whom, and when
returned. Communications with all concerned parties will be made or directed in writing
in a timely fashion.
Our record keeping and communication flow system is unsurpassed. Throughout the
project, you will receive project updates from us by telephone and by written progress
reports. You will be aware of what is going on at all times. As our staff serve as
Consultant City Engineers for a number of Cities, we understand the importance of
being aware of the progress and issues, so that if questions are asked by City
Manager/Council Members/Public, you have the information promptly.
We will manage all aspects of the design with minimal direction from the City, and
prepare a complete set of plans, specifications, construction estimates, ready for
bidding with all supporting data, calculations and other details necessary to complete
the project in a format acceptable to the City.
