B. QUALIFICATIONS OF
PROJECT STAFF
TmnstechlMapco's project team structure/management approach includes a clear identification and distribution
of responsibilities to achieve a quality product in a cost and time efficient manner. There is 15 full time staff
members located at our San Bernardino office. If necessary, support staffing can be assigned to assist
project needs from our other Southern California offices. This additional support staff augmentation will
ensure adequate staffing for completion of assigned tasks. TmnstechlMapco's project management structure
includes the following key positions:
. Project Principal: A senior engineer or principal of company who has the ultimate responsibility,
and the authority to make not only project related, but also financial and contractual decisions on behalf of
the company. This person also periodically contacts the County's Project Manager to discuss the
performance of the staff and the progress of the project. All meeting minutes prepared by the
TranstechlMapco's Project Manager are reviewed by the Project Principal. Also, Project Principal conducts
weekly meetings with the Project Manager to review and discuss the project progress and issues. This
approach maintains a well informed Project Principal, who is available to the Client, and can take over the
project when necessary without going through extensive learning period.
. Project Manager: The Project Manager is the contact person with the Client, and is responsible
for the scheduling, staffing, coordination and cost control required on a project. Project Manager conducts
project team meetings to discuss the schedule, work accomplished, work in progress, upcoming
assignments, and identification/resolution of conflicts. We have found that these meetings are very valuable
primarily because the people involved in the day to day operations of the project are at the meeting to
discuss their issues and accomplishments.
· Project Engineer: Depending upon the type of the project, a Project Engineer may be assigned to
a specific component of the project. For example, if there is extensive traffic signal design work involved in
the project, a Project Tmffic Engineer may be assigned to prepare traffic signal plans.
. QC/QA Engineer: QC/QA is an important process in TranstechlMapco's project management.
This process provides an objective review of the work done with a different set of eyes. This check is
provided by senior engineers with experience in the specific field. TranstechlMapco has a written in-house
quality control process, which is followed by our staff, and checked by a senior company principal.
. Snpport Staff: Support staff consists of engineers, inspectors, field personnel, technicians and
clerical staff performing various tasks as necessary and as assigned by the Project Manager/Engineer.
. Subconsultants: Subconsultants are supervised by the Project Manager/Engineer.
Subconsultants are required to attend TranstechlMapco's periodic team meetings if there are issues to be
discussed relevant to their scope.

C. APPROACH
Transtech/Mapco understands the importance of providing services that can respond to the Client's needs based
on work load and demand by adjusting level of staffing as necessary, and provide the services in an efficient and
cost effective manner without sacrificing the quality and responsiveness. Responsiveness is an integral part of
Transtech/Mapco's "customer friendly" service approach. While our service is always on an "as needed" basis,
our responsiveness is on "full-time" basis. Transtech/Mapco also understands the importance of being able to
expedite certain projects when requested by the City; and, this of course, is included as a normal part of our
service. Our approach is to provide as needed services with a full-time responsiveness approach.
Transtech/Mapco has a proven track record in providing high quality engineering services which result in
minimal problems during implementation of projects. Our team members have extensive experience and proven
track record in managing such complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and budget
Transtech/Mapco has a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner and to provide the client
the highest quality of product. Transtech/Mapco has established guidelines and policies, including written
manuals on quality control, project management and design procedures for its staff. These guidelines ensure a
consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by Transtech/Mapco, and provide Project
Managers specific instructions on critical items to check/recheck and allows them efficiently finalize projects.
The following are part of Transtech/Mapco's project controls systems which will minimize review of
deliverables by the City staff:
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
managing and inspecting the project.
Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in 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 as engineers and inspectors. They have been on both public and contractor
sides of the process. They are seasoned industry veterans, and will manage your project in the most
efficient manner.
Key Transtech/Mapco project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff
throughout the project duration. Transtech/Mapco 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/Mapco will provide monthly project status
reports which updates, at a minimum, the status on the schedule, budget, and pending issues requiring
attention. Transtech/Mapco will ensure timely tum-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 concemed 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

VALUE ENGINEEffiNG
Transtech/Mapco approaches value engineering as 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.
OUALITY CONTROL AND OUALITY ASSURANCE (OC/OA) PROGRAM
QC/QA is an important process in Transtech/Mapco's project management. Transtech/Mapco has an
extensive in-house quality assurance and quality control (QC/QA) program to prevent design errors and
construction change orders. 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 prepared by the PS&E consultant 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.
TRANSTECHlMAPCO'S TYPICAL WORK FLOW/PROCESS APPROACH
A specific work plan for each project assignment will be developed showing schedules, milestone
completions, submittals, products to be delivered, staffing and resource requirements, management, etc.
The following is Transtech/Mapco's general approach and work flow plan for similar projects:
1. Receive request from Agency for a specific assignment: Upon request by the Agency for a specific
project, Transtech/Mapco first will meet with the Agency staff to discuss the specific scope of work
desired for the assignment. When necessary, Transtech/Mapco will conduct a visual survey of the
project area to fme tune the final scope. Then, Transtech/Mapco will submit a project specific proposal
to the Agency, including a detailed fee and service schedule.
1. Authorization from Agency: Upon approval of project specific proposal and authorization from the
Agency, we will proceed with the project.
3. Project Execution and Management: The following is a general scope outline and task order that
Transtech/Mapco follows in executing project assignments:

Research: Transtech/Mapco will collect record data from Agency and other Agencies as necessary.
Visual Survey: A visual field inspection and review of each project site will be conducted by the project
staff, and pictures will be taken.
Operations and Facilities Inspection: Transtech/Mapco's will field inspect operations in the project area to
develop an efficient control approach that will be used during the construction of the proposed
improvements. Recommendations will be prepared for consideration in the design approach, and will be
incorporated in the PS&E package to maintain public convenience and safety.
Engineering Analysis: After review of office data, and field investigation surveys, we will discuss our
findings and preliminary approach with Agency staff. The required design parameters will be agreed on and
alternative materials and methods to achieve the goals will be analyzed.
Field Surveying: If required and when necessary, design survey of the project area will be performed.
Plans, Specifications and Cost Estimates: Plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) will be prepared,
using design standards designated, and finishing the project within the negotiated time period specified by
the agreement.
Utility Coordination: Existing utilities identified from available as-built plans will be shown in the work
areas Plans will be sent to each utility company for notification and review during the preliminary design
stage.
Direct discussions with utility authorities may be necessary in the eventuality that it becomes difficult to
obtain adequate or reliable utility information in a timely manner. A copy of all utility notification letters
will be sent to the Agency, as well as a log of any direct discussions conducted between Transtech/Mapco
and the utility authority.
As Built Plan Preparation: The plans will be revised to reflect as-built conditions per the Agency
Inspector's records. The electronic file will be updated with the information in a drawing layer identified as
"as built". Additionally, new mylars will be prepared reflecting the as-built information.

The above method of 'out sourcing' or staff augmentation is very effective in completing projects in a
timely manner, as well as, efficiently meeting the needs of this proposals directives. This 'occasional
approach' will also ensure that the city enters into contractual services contracts with the appropriate parties
at the commencement of any project vs. unmanageable surprises during a critical stage of service.

2010-77
1. Methodology
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of San Bernardino is requesting design and management services for the upgrading of an existing
traffic signal at the intersection of Baseline Street and California Avenue to provide access to the south for
Arroyo Valley High School. Work will consist of redesigning the intersection to create a 4-leg intersection,
including signal controls for the south leg that does not presently exist. Redesign of the south curb returns on
Baseline Street and design of a south approach will be necessary.
The project is partially funded by a federal grant under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and
will require NEPA clearance through Caltrans Local Assistance. The Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) has
been submitted to Caltrans and is awaiting approval. Transtech / Mapco will conduct work in such a way that
the City will be eligible for reimbursement.
Our team has extensive knowledge of the design and operations of San Bernardino Traffic Signal Systems. This
knowledge and understanding will prove beneficial in addressing the elements of the proposed project.
KEY PROJECT ISSUES
During our preliminary project scoping, our project team completed an initial field review of the project and
discussed the design. Aspects of the design that should require further dialogue and consideration with city
staff are as follows:
. Parking Lot Circulation - The parking lot serving Arroyo Valley High School will have to be reconfigured
to accommodate the 4th leg of the upgraded traffic signal, new curb returns, and additional traffic
generated. Currently, existing parking lot is at lower elevation. It is anticipated that the south
approach into the parking lot will involve a ramped access to get to parking lot elevation at the
shortest distance possible and to avoid any major reconstruction of the lot and minimize loss of
parking spaces.
. Caltrans Coordination - Caltrans coordination/approval of the Preliminary Environmental Study and
NEPA clearance will be required as part of this project. As indicated in the RFP, the City will be
responsible for Caltrans coordination.
. Traffic Circulation and Movement Analyses - Additional turn pockets and through lanes will be
required by the traffic signal upgrade and will require traffic and geometric analyses. These impacts to
the current traffic flow, lane configurations, anlj signal timing will be investigated and mitigated.
. New Signal Proximity to the Current Signalized School Entrance Intersection - The location of the
upgraded signals in proximity to the current signalized school entrance will be investigated and
suggestions proposed to mitigate lane stacking and other potential conflicts.
. ADA Curb Ramps/Sidewalks - May be of benefit to the City with the signal upgrade installation.

2. Scope of Services
The services provided by our Team members will reflect our understanding of the scope of work for the design
of the Baseline Street & California Avenue Traffic Signal Upgrade in the City of San Bernardino. All design work
performed will be completed in compliance with current City standards, City specifications, and the Green
Book (latest edition). Our Team is prepared to manage all aspects of this project up to the point of
advertisement for bids. The following is the proposed project scope of work:
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 Survey:
Field review may 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 survey
would be conducted by senior level traffic engineer 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.
Topo Survey and Soils Report (if necessary):
Currently, existing parking lot is at lower elevation. It is anticipated that the south approach into the parking
lot will involve a ramped access to get to parking lot elevation at the shortest distance possible and to avoid
any major reconstruction of the lot and minimize loss of parking spaces. It is anticipated the existing parking
lot design plan will be used for this access design. However, if additional survey would be necessary, 1 day
survey allocation is included in our fee.
We are assuming that the City will not require a soils report for this project.
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, we will
coordinate with Southern California Edison Company.
Potholing for Utility Verification (if necessary):
While not anticipated, at locations where a concentration of existing underground utilities are identified after
utility record search, if necessary, we will recommend to the City to retain a contractor for potholing to verify
exact location and depth of utilities which may potentially interfere with the signal pole foundations. Or, as an
option, we can retain a potholing contractor under additional work/fee for the City in addition to our contract.
The exact cost of potholing would depend on number of locations to be potholed, which cannot be
determined at this point. Again, pot holing is not anticipated at this point.
PS&E (plans, specifications, estimates):
. Design parameters will conform to latest guidelines of 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 Standard Specifications.
. 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.
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL.Oesil" of Baseline Street & California Avenue Traffic Signal UPlrade, TC09-04

2010-77
. Discussions will be held with the City staff regarding City's requirements and procedures affecting the
construction of the project which, to achieve 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 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, 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 MUTCD.
. Signing and Striping Plans: Separate signing and striping plans will be prepared.
. Roadway Plans: Roadway plans will be necessary to establish vertical and horizontal control of the 4th leg
curb returns, approach, and integration with the existing parking lot. Currently, existing parking lot is at
lower elevation. It is anticipated that the south approach into the parking lot will involve a ramped access
to get to parking lot elevation at the shortest distance possible and to avoid any major reconstruction of
the lot and minimize loss of parking spaces.
. Right-of-way: We will 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, we will prepare necessary right-
of-way plans showing exact take areas. However, the City shall be responsible for negotiating with
property owners and acquiring necessary right-of-way.
. Specifications, bid package, contract documents: Transtech will prepare technical specifications.
. Final Design: Based on the City 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 Section 307 of the Greenbook.
Answering Questions 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.
Quality Control .
Quality control within the offices of the Project Team-members consists of several established measures
developed over decades of plan preparations:
a. Company wide design standards for computer aided designing, color rendering, file creation and
organization.
b. Initial design review by the project draftsperson for compliance with design standards.
c. Review of design products by the Project Manager for compliance with design standards, City
requirements and general plan completeness.
d. Final review by the Principal Civil Engineer and Traffic Engineer prior to plan signature for design
completeness.

FEE REQUIREMENTS - Design of Baseline Street & California Avenue Traffic Signal Upgrade,
TC09-04
Transtech / MAPCO is pleased to submit this not-to-exceed fee for the subject project.
Our not-to-exceed fee to provide the services outlined in our scope for services is $27,500.
Please note the following items per our proposal:
Topo Survey and Soils Report (if necessary):
Currently, existing parking lot is at lower elevation. It is anticipated that the south approach into the parking
lot will involve a ramped access to get to parking lot elevation at the shortest distance possible and to avoid
any major reconstruction of the lot and minimize loss of parking spaces. It is anticipated the existing parking
lot design plan will be used for this access design. However, if additional survey would be necessary, 1 day
survey allocation is included in our fee.
We are assuming that the City will not require a soils report for this project.
Potholing for Utility Verification (if necessary):
While not anticipated, at locations where a concentration of existing underground utilities are identified after
utility record search, if necessary, we will recommend to the City to retain a contractor for potholing to verify
exact location and depth of utilities which may potentially interfere with the signal pole foundations. Or, as an
option, we can retain a potholing contractor under additional work/fee for the City in addition to our contract.
The exact cost of potholing would depend on number of locations to be potholed, which cannot be
determined at this point. Again, potholing is not anticipated at this point.
A worst case seen aria would be potholing 4 locations, which would cost approximately $8,000.
