Clrf OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Requests for letters of interest, for preparation of a conceptual plan for replacement/rehabilitation of the Mt. Vernon Avenue Grade Separation, were sent to the 41 civil engineering firms within the City limits. Letters of interest were received from 11 firms. These letters of interest were reviewed by a team with representatives from the Mayor's Office, Council Office BN/SF Railroad, and Public Works Department. The following five (5) firms were selected by the team to receive Requests for Proposals: l. URS/Griener, Inc. 2 . DMJM 3 . HNTB 4 . Dokken Engineering 5 . McDaniel Engineering These five (5) firms were interviewed on 3-03-97, by a selection committee comprised of representatives from: 1. Council Office 2. BN/SF Railroad 3. SANBAG 4. Public Works Department After carefully reviewing the proposals and interviewing members of these firms, the conni ttee deternined that DMJM was the best qualified at this time to provide the necessary services. The proposed agreement. provides, in general, that m1J~1 will prepare a conceptual plan for replacement/rehabilitation of the Mt. Vernon Avenue Grade Separation Structure, with appropriate estimates of cost. This report will be used to develop a scope of the project and to apply for funding.

Hardgrave Director of Public Works/City Engineer City of San Bemardino 300 North '0' Street San Bel:"ardino, CA 92418-0001 Subject: Proposal to Perform Professional Engineering Services Bridge Evaluation Project - Mount Vemon over the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad Yard Dear Mr. Hardgrave: On behaU of DMJM, I would like to express our thanks to the City of San Bemardino for positively considering our earlier submitted qual~ications for this project and inv~ing us to participate in the next step of the C~'s selection process. It is always exciting to work on a project that involves a facil~ which in some ways is unique ~in a commun~. Certainly the Mount Vemon bridge is representative of such a unique facil~ and a very interesting project to be involved with. The bridge is long; ~ is mu~ispan, parts of it are concrete; parts of it are composite; it has an assortment of structural depths and configurations; it affects the BNSF's major transcontinental line and intermodal yard; it affects the Metrolink's terminus trackage and station/parking amenities; it is functionally obsolete; and for all practical purposes structurally obsolete - long ready for something to be done. Four views illustrating some of the existing cond~ions and amenities can be seen in the attachment to this letter. As an entity d1edicated to the enhancement of transportation as well as a local firm having a vested interest in the betterment of the City of San Bemardino, we are delighted to provide this proposal to perform the engineering evaluation services for this bridge that the C~ is seeking. We see the end product of our services being a report document that serves as a springboard into follow-on phases. These phases could include e~her a more comprehensive and advanced study, or a preliminary engineering effort, or Fmal PS&E, or some combination of all three. Albeit at a conceptual level, the document needs to address the basic issues such as existing cond~ion; retrofrt requirements; retrofit feasibility; the graphic alignment of a new replacement structure; constructibility and construction scheduling issues; cost comparisons; what happens at each end of the bridge vis a vis the roadwaylintersections; how to avoid impacting the historic BNSF smokestack at the northern end; how to maintain ongoing BNSF and Metrolink operations; and other critical issues. The C~ will be making important decisions based on the findings and recommendations of this report. Consequently, the end product has to have input from high-level expertiselknowhow; our approach will actually dictate staff assignments. To that end we envision in~ially a staff group performing comprehensive data gathering that would include collecting any as-bui~ plans; site reconnaissance; visual inspection of the bridge; understanding site amenities/operations; and obtaining any general guidelines/criteria the C~ and the users/owners of the rail facilities might impose. This information of "What's out there and what needs to be done' will be assembled under the direction of our proposed project manager, Bedros Agopovich. Agopovich will then use this information as a basis for a 1-2 day DMJM in-house 'symposium" where he will assemble a panel of DMJM in-house experts to discuss/debate/review all the basic issues and arrive at conclusions and recommendations. In addition to Agopovich, this panel will include: D......I:::~ \:~". V HV;O...._ J, \U....:JE....H-\..L 275 WEST HOSPlnUTI LA~E. SL'ITE 314, SM<l BERNARDI:'IlO.

Hardgrave February 14, 1997 -Page 2 John Corven: Mr. Corven is the firm's "Principal" for bridge design with worldwide project experience on virtually all types of bridges. He is very frequently called on by DMJM Divisions to consu~ and provide guidance on such projects. Robert Clevenger: Mr. Clevenger is DMJM's Denver Division Manager. He is the former Colorado DOT Chief Engineer. Steel and compos~e bridges are commonplace in that state. Sam Nathan: Mr. Nathan is the Chief Bridge Engineer in the firm's Los Angeles Headquarters. He is an authority in California on Seismic Retrofit design. Sam recently was the recipient of an award for the seismic retrofit of the historic Macy Street bridge in Los Angeles. Raymond Branstetter: Mr. Branstetter is the Chief Railroad Engineer in the San Bernardino Division office. He is a former 35 plus year railroader with the Southern Pacific Railroad and has also spent the last 5 years of his career in the consu~ant industry. He has been involved in the Metrolink track and station improvements at the San Bernardino terminus; he is also the DMJM project manager on the preliminary engineering for Metrolink's extension to Redlands. Kendall Crosby: Mr. Crosby is a former Santa Fe Railroad Bridge Supervisor. Francis 'Obie' Weeks: Mr. Week has recently completed his assignment as DMJM's Construction Manager on the Oceanside-San Diego Commuter Rail program. He is the former chief engineer for the Alaska Railroad and is also a Registered Engineer in California. The findings and recommendations of this panel would then be elaborated on and presented in a conceptual report to the City. The report preparation would be led by Agopovich w~h staff help. Bedros Agopovich is a 37 -year veteran of the transportation industry. His experience encompasses Highways, Roadways, Bridges, Railroads, and Rail Trans~ and all associated civillinfrastructure. He is both a civil and structural engineer. He is registered in the state of Calnomia. He has been a full-time resident in the firm's San Bernardino Division since its inception 10 years ago and has managed and/or overseen all the projects performed from this division. He is well known to the City by virtue of his involvement in City contracted projects such as Central City South, E-Street Studies, Orange Show Road Extension and Pioneer Cemetery Expansion, soon to start Kendall Bridge; as well as projects in the City such as the Metrolink Extension to Redlands and Improvements (both Landside and Airside) at San Bernardino International Airport, both performed for other agencies. For the purposes of this study and especially given the project approach we perceive, we do not see the need for subconsultant assistance. However, if the need should arise during the performance of the work, preference will be given to consultants local to San Bernardino. DMJM has a significant amount of relevant experience on projects of this type which will undoubtedly greatly beneM this assignment. Besides California, we have performed relevant projects in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland and Vermont. A tabular summary of our California experience is included in Section 1 of our proposal. One Southern California project (completed in 1995) is particularly worthy of mention. That project is the seismic retrof~ of the historic Macy Street Bridge in the City of Los Angeles, where DMJM, under Sam Nathan's leadership, performed a seismic analysis, developed a retrof~ scheme and prepared the final PS&E. Recognized for ~ historic significance (built in 1924) this 120Q-ft- long bridge consisted of three distinct structural systems: a west approach with 24 spans and six expansion joints, consisting mostly of tee-beam and slab superstructure supported on multi-column bents; a 261-foot main arch spanning the Los Angeles River; and an east approach with two spans consisting of box girder \) '.'

This project was honored this year with an award for engineering excellence. As on all past projects, it is our continued desire to provide the City DMJM staff participation of the highest quality and extensive experience; and certainly that should be evident from the project manager and 'symposium' panel we have proposed. We believe this collective level of intelligence and knowhow will be a real benefit to the City on this sensitive project. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve the City of San Bernardino. Very truly yours, D IEL MANN, JOHNSON, & MENDENHALL O......IEl. .\\........., ,ow..50'" _;" '.\[-"Of'H...lc e J f .

These include projects in the states of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Louisiana, Florida, Maryland, and Vermont. However, given the locale and the nature of the effort required for this particular bridge, despite the extensive relevant experience in other states, our California highway/ road- waylbridge projects experience should be considered the most relevant to these projects. Consequently, in Figure 1-1 we have listed 34 such projects performed by the firm in the last six years alone. As you will note, they collectively cover virtually the full spectrum of pro- ject types/elements/activities one could expect on such projects. Regarding this listing we would like to empha- size the following: 1. We have worked for a wide range of clientele. 2. On virtually all these projects, we have worked under direct contract to a particular Caltrans District or under a particular District's oversight. 3. Virtually every project has involved one or more bridges consisting of new bridges; widenings/exten- sion/replacements of existing bridges; and seismic retrofit of existing bridges. All in all, the 34 projects have involved 76 bridges with approximately half falling into the first two categories. 4. This project will be done from the firm's San Bernardino Division. We are proud to point out that about one half of the projects listed in Figure 1-1 have been performed from this Division. We would be pleased to provide more detail on anyone project should the City so desire.

Our approach to implementing the work will be as follows: 1. An initial support staff group will gather all available data regarding this bridge. This will include as-built plans, previous studies, criteria and guidelines, utility information, rail operation requirements, vehicular traffic requirements, and the like. This data gather- ing will be supplemented by site reconnaissance and visual inspections. The effort will culminate in a "what's out there and what can be done" assess- ment. This phase of the work will be led by our pro- posed Project Manager, Bedros Agopovich with staff (to be identified in Section 2) support. 2. Using this information as a basis, Agopovich will conduct a 1-2 day in-house "symposium" to discuss! debate/review all the relevant issues and arrive at conclusions/recommendations. He will assemble a panel of experts within the firm for this purpose. This panel, which should be considered as key staff will consist of the following: John Corven: Mr. Corven is the firm's .Princlpa/. for bridge design with worldwide project experience on virtually all types of bridges. He is very frequent- ly called on by DMJM Divisions to consult and pro- vide guidance on such projects. Robert Clevenger: Mr. Clevenger is DMJM's Denver Division Manager. He is the former Colorado DOT Chief Engineer. Steel and composite bridges are commonplace in that state. Sam Nathan: Mr. Nathan is the Chief Bridge Engineer in the firm's Los Angeles Headquarters. He is an authority in California on Seismic Retrofit design. Sam recently was the recipient of an award for the seismic retrofit of the historic Macy Street bridge in Los Angeles. Raymond Branstetter: Mr. Branstetter is the Chief Railroad Engineer in the San Bernardino Division office. He is a former 35 plus year railroader with the Southern Pacific Railroad and has also spent the last 5 years of his career in the consultant industry. He has been involved in the Metrolink track and sta- tion improvements at the San Bernardino terminus; he is also the DMJM project manager on the prelimi- nary engineering for Metrolink's extension to Redlands. Section II: Key Personnel Bridge Evaluation Project Mt. Vernon BrJdgeOver Burlington Northefnlsante Fe Rail Yard e e e Kendall Crosby: Mr. Crosby is a former Santa Fe Railroad Bridge Supervisor. Francis .Obie" Weeks: Mr. Week has recently completed his assignment as DMJM's Construction Manager on the Oceanside-San Diego Commuter Rail program. He is the former chief engineer for the Alaska Railroad and is also a Registered Engineer in California. 3. The findings/recommendations will then be incorpo- rated into a conceptual report to be submitted to the City. This effort will be led by Agopovich with staff assistance. Bedros Agopovich is a 37-year veteran of the trans- portation industry. His experience encompasses Highways, Roadways, Bridges, Railroads, and Rail Transit and all associated civiVinfrastructure. He is both a civil and structural engineer, and is registered in the state of California. He has been a full-time resident in the firm's San Bernardino Division since its inception 10 years ago and has managed and/or overseen all the projects performed from this division.

The last 32 years of his career has been exclu- sively devoted to the full-spectrum of trans- portation projects which have included light rail, metro rail, people mover, highway, road- way, bridge, and busway transportation sys- tems. He has served in many different capaci- ties ranging from Project Engineer to Project Manager, Agency Coordinator, Program Manager, Project Director, Project Principal, part of a Peer Review Team, and even as a DMJM Consultant to international transporta- tion clientele. His ability to manage/direct programs involving multiple issues, multiple disciplines, multiple subcontractors, and to effectively coordinate such efforts with a large number of affected/regulatoryl participatory agencies is an important asset. Particularly, in Program Manager and Project Director roles, he involves himself in preparing and overview- ing overall program costs and financial plans, maintaining and/or reallocating programmed budgets, forecasting trends, and cost tradeoffs. Most important, he insists on a hands-on involvement to ensure that all resources are made available in a timely manner and such programs are completed successfully and to the satisfaction of the clientele he is serving.- A summary of his transportation experience effected under one or more of the roles identi- fied earlier is presented below. .

However, if the need should arise during the performance of the work, preference will be given to the consultants local to San Bernardino. SectIon IV: .......-...'........--..............',...- Subconsultant Participation Bridge \iMt. Vernon N~mlSanta Fe ;:.,;,.,. e e e We believe this evaluation study can be performed for about $20,000 with the understanding that any end products including components of end products are at a conceptual level. It is not practical to divide the study into a number of tasks and subtasks. However, with reference to the approach we outlined in Section 1, the $20,000 cost can be segregated into the three activities as follows: . Data gathering and "what's out there" assessment $5,000 . In-House "symposium" $8,000 . Concept report $7,000 We note that these activities are only estimates and may vary depending on the prosecution of the work.
