City Council Agenda Item Report
On December 11, 2006, the Council approved the payment by Playa Capital
Company, LLC of $300,000 for use by the City of Culver City for the design and
construction of the Sepulveda Boulevard Widening Project as a substitute
improvement for the Playa Vista Drive Bridge pursuant to the Third Amendment to
Agreement between the City Of Culver City (City) and Playa Vista (Playa Capital
Company, LLC).
On January 28, 2008, the City Council authorized staff to solicit proposals for the
engineering design services for the Sepulveda Boulevard Widening Project (Playa
Street /Jefferson Boulevard intersection to Green Valley Circle), P-881.
DISCUSSION:
The Request for Proposals were published on the City‘s website and mailed to
several engineering firms. Proposals were due on March 6, 2008.
The following eleven (11) engineering firms responded to the proposal:
AAE Inc
David Evans Associates
Dean Ryan
Diamond West
E. W. Moon Inc.
Hunsaker Associates
KPFF
KOA
Paller-Roberts
R A. Smith National
Willdan
The Public Works Director/City Engineer, Engineering Services Manager, Senior
Civil Engineer, and Traffic Engineer consultant, reviewed the proposals and
subsequently conducted interviews of four short listed firms. It was unanimously
determined that Willdan’s proposal and interview results showed that they are the
most responsive and best qualified firm to provide engineering design services on
this project. Willdan has extensive design experience for street widening projects
in southern California.
After the tentative selection, Staff negotiated the total design fees with Willdan.
During the design process, if the existing asphalt concrete pavement surface is
recommended to be replaced with Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) within the City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
existing budget, the total proposed design fee is $409,985. If the project budget
can not accommodate PCC pavement, then the surface will be replaced with
asphalt. In this case, the proposed design fee was negotiated to be $362,475.
There is more detailed engineering work required when designing the concrete
pavement surface. Although more expensive, PCC pavement can last much
longer than asphalt.
It is Staff’s recommendation that the proposal from Willdan be accepted since they
have demonstrated by their proposal and during the interview process that they are
the most qualified proposer while also offering a price that is fair, reasonable and
extremely competitive. The design will take about eight months to one year to
complete depending on if an asphalt or concrete roadway surface design is
utilized. Upon completion and review by the City Engineer, the design will be
presented to the City Council for consideration.
Construction is tentatively scheduled in Fiscal Year 2009/2010.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The adopted Fiscal Year 2007/2008 CIP budget includes $300,000 of Playa Vista
Developer funds (42000881) for the design of the project. To adequately fund the
not-to-exceed contract amount (including the 10% change order authority) and
other project administration related cost, staff recommends that an additional
$200,000 be transferred from Playa Vista Developer Funds to P-881 (42000881).
Other project administration related cost includes environmental reviews and
studies, utility potholing to identify potential design conflicts, and other
miscellaneous project administration related expenses. There are sufficient funds
available in the Playa Vista Developer Funds.

Subject: Proposal to Provide Engineering Design Services for the Sepulveda
Boulevard Widening Project (Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Green
Valley Circle), P-881
Revised as of April 28, 2008.
Dear Mr. Wang:
Willdan is pleased to submit this proposal in response to your Request for Proposal
(RFP) to provide engineering design services for the City's Sepulveda Boulevard
Widening Project (Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Green Valley Circle). This
proposal was prepared in accordance with the City's RFP dated January 29, 2008.
We believe that we are highly qualified to undertake this assignment for the following
reasons:
• As a municipal consulting firm, with many of the principals and key staff members
being former public works officials, we are fully aware of the City's needs and
desires in undertaking of this type of project.
• The firm has provided engineering services for the design and construction
management of numerous roadway widenings, resurfacing, pavement
rehabilitation, and concrete repair projects, both locally and federally funded,
throughout Southern California. The project team is familiar with all of the design
and construction methods that could be selected to minimize costs and maximize
pavement life.
• We propose to provide the required services for the project from our Los Angeles
Regional office located in the City of Industry. The proximity of our office to the
City of Culver City will ensure timely response to the City as questions may arise
during the design. Willdan has in-house pavement engineering staff specializingMarch 20, 2008
Page 2
in preparation of deflection study analysis, structural overlay section development
and pavement reports.
. Our firm previously served as City Traffic Engineer for Culver City and our traffic
traffic engineering staff have a prior working relationship with City staff providing
traffic engineering support services for traffic study review. Therefore, we are
familiar with City's procedures and needs.
• Due to Willdan's exclusive public sector orientation and position as contract city
engineer in many Los Angeles County cities, our staff members have special
insight into the issues and challenges facing the City. Specifically, we have had
the unique opportunity to monitor the performance of virtually every pavement
strategy from design to construction, and 15 to 20 years into the life of the
improvements. Thus, we are well versed in what to expect from any pavement
rehabilitation strategy.
As a multidisciplinary firm, we have a full complement of resources in-house to provide
accurate and complete professional engineering services for every phase of your
Sepulveda Boulevard Widening Project.
The services requested by the City include project design management services,
pavement engineering, utility coordination, survey, landscaping, traffic engineering, and
preparation of plans and specifications for the Sepulveda Boulevard Widening Project
as listed in the City's RFP.
Willdan understands the City of Culver City is seeking proposals from qualified
engineering design firms that can undertake the project management, conceptual
design, preparation of construction drawings and technical specifications for a major
street widening project on Sepulveda Boulevard from Playa Street / Jefferson Boulevard
to Green Valley Circle. Sepulveda Boulevard is a major north/south arterial corridor
with an average daily traffic count of 50,000 vehicles. Sepulveda Boulevard parallels
the San Diego Freeway (I-405) through Culver City and is a major alternative route
taken by commuters to access Los Angeles International Airport. This project is being
done to alleviate an existing bottle-neck and provide for a third southbound lane within
the existing right-of-way on this segment of Sepulveda Boulevard within the project
limits. A portion of this project on Sepulveda Boulevard is within the City of Los
Angeles.
Project Understanding
Willdan understands this is a two-phase project. Phase 1 includes the research, survey,
utility coordination, preparation of the conceptual/preliminary plans, and presentations
exhibits at community and City Council meetings. Phase 2 would be the final design
and construction drawings, specifications, and bid documents. The City intends to
award the contract for design services by spring 2008.March 20, 2008
Page 3
The services for this project include civil design, traffic engineering, survey, utility
coordination, and preparation of technical specifications for the project.
Roadway Improvements
To gain the necessary roadway width to accommodate the third southbound lane, the
roadway cross section will need to be widened throughout the project limits, except
between Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Sawtelle Boulevard the roadway will be
restriped only to add a third southbound lane. Roadway widening from Playa
Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Green Valley Circle will be accommodated by narrowing
sidewalk and the landscape median as follows:
• Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Slauson Avenue: west and east sidewalk (1
foot each side), entire to partial median removal
• Slauson Avenue to Fwy. 90: west and east sidewalk (up to three 3 feet), entire to
partial median removal
• Fwy. 90 to Green Valley Circle: west and/or east side of median, west and/or west
of sidewalk, as deemed necessary.
The widening will require relocation of storm drain catch basins and overhead utilities.
Handicap access ramps between Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Green Valley
Circle will be assessed and upgraded to meet current ADA standards if required.
Modifications to the Fox Hills Mall's entrance is anticipated to be completed by
November 2008. Proposed modifications include relocating the existing mall entrance
300 feet to the north. The modifications to the traffic signal, roadway and median will be
incorporated into the design as existing improvements. Details to join and match this
work will be included in the plans for Sepulveda Boulevard accordingly.
The existing pavement will be rehabilitated or replaced with new concrete (PCC)
pavement.
Landscape Improvements
As part of the improvements, the City would like to increase turning and travel way
lanes thus resulting in the modification of existing medians at various locations. It is
anticipated that some of the mature trees must be removed to accommodate for the
new alignments. As an option, those trees identified to be removed (except Eucalyptus)
could be boxed up and relocated somewhere within the modified medians. In addition,
it is understood that irrigation modifications will be implemented to align with the
renovated medians.
Another important aspect to this project will be the preservation of mature trees as they
exist in place. Willdan understands the importance of tree stability when specific rootsMarch 20, 2008
Page 4
are severed due to curb re-alignments/modification. In some cases the possibility of
cutting major tree roots (structural and/or feeder roots) becomes high when the modified
curb median creeps closer to the tree root crown.
Traffic and Street Lighting Improvements
The traffic improvements of this project will include traffic signal modifications, street
lighting, traffic control, signing and striping improvements from Playa Street/Jefferson
Boulevard to Green Valley Circle. Specifically, the project will include the preparation of
signing and striping plans to include an additional 3rd travel lane in the southbound
direction on Sepulveda Boulevard from Sawtelle Boulevard to Green Valley Circle. The
signing and striping plans will include loop replacements at signalized intersections,
where traffic signal modifications are not required. Traffic signal modification plans will
be required at the intersections of Sepulveda at Jefferson/Playa, Sepulveda at Slauson,
Sepulveda at the Sizzler driveway, and Sepulveda at Green Valley. It is our
understanding that the relocation of the red light camera system for the intersection of
Sepulveda at Slauson will be performed by others. The existing city owned street
lighting standards will be relocated in the areas where Sepulveda Boulevard will be
widened to accommodate for the six lanes of travel. It is anticipated that the limits of the
street lighting relocation will be from Playa Street/Jefferson Boulevard to Green Valley
Circle. Traffic control plans will be prepared for the construction of project for the street
widening and median reconstruction portion of the project.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to discussing
your needs and our qualifications. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Adel M. Freij at (562) 908-6262.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLDAN

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDENING PROJECT
APPROACH
Willdan has served local cities for many years providing street widening, medians and
traffic signal upgrades along with pavement rehabilitation design and full construction
management services for over several hundred projects in the past 25 years. The
professionals selected for this project are highly experienced in civil design, traffic
design, pavement engineering, landscape architecture, and construction engineering.
Our experience in selecting and applying pavement rehabilitation methods in the most
cost-effective manner is extensive.
The following statements emphasize Wilidan's unique qualifications and project
approach:
1. Willdan as contract city engineer for a large number of cities over the last 40
years has almost continuously been involved in one or multiple major arterial
widening and/or median project at any given time. Many such projects were
engineered by Willdan for a multitude of other cities as well. Our experience
would be difficult to match, especially considering that key staff proposed for this
project have been with Willdan on such assignments for a minimum of 18 years
each.
2. The firm has provided engineering design and construction management
services for hundreds of roadway improvement, rehabilitation and resurfacing
projects throughout Southern California. The resurfacing of streets with medians
is a special challenge that Willdan deals with on a regular basis, usually with a
several projects underway at any given time. Our experience with asphalt-rubber
hot mix (ARHM) is unsurpassed, dating back to the first asphalt rubber project
bid in Southern California in 1989.
3. Our firm has the in-house capability to perform all of the work required for the
project, including pavement engineering staff to analyze deflection test data, and
develop structural overlay sections that precisely suit the needs of the City and
the unique demands of the site. At Willdan, the pavement report is developed
concurrently with the overlay design plans, to ensure that the recommendations
in the report meet the needs of the project.
Willdan has been at the forefront for many years in developing new and more cost-
effective approaches to upgrading pavement structures of deteriorated streets. During
this time, design specifications have been tested and refined for various processes
using methods and materials proven to be economical and effective in their application.
Research of rehabilitation strategies was the focus to establish a complete inventory of
rehabilitation techniques, and determine the precise value and applicability of each
technique. Members of the project team carry on this research with every project, and

track the resultant pavement performance over decades. Willdan maintains a
comprehensive working library of the latest pavement rehabilitation methods. Members
of our staff strive to stay current with such developments and apply them to design
projects with minimum costs and maximum pavement life.
4. Due to the fact that we serve as the City Engineer in a number of communities
where many similar projects have been constructed, our staff members have the
benefit of continuous feedback about pavement design performance and
construction techniques.
5. Willdan has completed numerous streetscape projects within the last five years.
Most notable is the Richard Nixon Expressway in the City of Yorba Linda, CA. At
a cost of $28 million, this four-mile section of roadway, which combined a
freeway with a conventional highway, was relinquished by the State of California
Department of Transportation and turned control to the City of Yorba Linda. With
funds from federal, state and local agencies, the City improved the roadway as
part of the countywide "Street Smart" program administered through the Orange
County Transportation Authority. The project involved land acquisition for
roadway widening and sound attenuation walls. Since the City of Yorba Linda
presents itself as a semi-rural community, the landscape design that Willdan
successfully implemented included California natives plantings along with semi-
arid drought tolerant plant species. The general elements of the project included,
varied widths of parkways 10 to 40 feet wide, meandering sidewalks and 14 feet
wide street medians. Within the four-mile segment, included were recreational
trails that link up with the existing trails throughout the city. Willdan's tasks
included, landscape conceptual plans, schematic plans, construction drawings,
specifications, cost estimates, bidding assistances, construction support and
record drawings preparation.
6. The Los Angeles area Traffic and Transportation Division of Willdan specializes
in providing traffic engineering and transportation planning services to
governmental agencies in California. The Division's experience and expertise
covers nearly all facets of traffic and transportation engineering, from handling
citizen complaints to managing multi-million dollar capital improvement projects.
In addition to their independent projects, this division provides transportation
services to support the office's public works design services, planning services,
and contract administration services. The division also provides traffic and
transportation support for a variety of projects managed at the company's
corporate headquarters in Anaheim and offices located in Anaheim, Lancaster,
San Bernardino, Ventura, and Sacramento, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Las
Vegas, Nevada.
7. Our role as City Engineer provides Wilidan's staff with design and construction
management experience that includes the full range of construction methods forJDAN
Page 12
SeTvilig
CITY OF CULVER CITY
SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDENING PROJECT
nearly every possible site condition. Willdan obtains direct and important
feedback, such as:
the most efficient construction method to implement on each type of
project;
the actual performance of the different rehabilitation methods over
extended periods; and
special field conditions to circumvent during construction through special
contract provisions.
8. It is Willdan's policy to maximize the resources that exist within our organization
to provide the highest quality product. In the area of design, one very effective
technique is that the final review of plans and specifications is performed
independently by our construction management group. A highly experienced
construction engineer will perform an independent review of the contract
documents to ensure the project is fully constructible and the contract is without
ambiguities.
In addition to our extensive design engineering experience, Willdan has the construction
experience to match every type of street condition. Our construction and design
professionals have worked together closely over the years to develop the highest quality
time tested construction procedures. Close attention to details such as crack
treatments, interlayer placement and removal area selections, are crucial to a durable
finished pavement.
PROJECT APPROACH
Willdan's approach to this assignment will be to first meet with the City to discuss and
obtain all project requirements and to !earn the City's and resident's precise goals and
needs. Preliminary research will then be performed to gather information regarding the
roadways, including existing as-built plans and survey information. This will also include
conducting utility investigations, contacting the utility companies to obtain record
drawings, and notifying them of the proposed project.
Aerial mapping and ground survey will be performed as well. Right-of-way will be
ascertained and survey markers that will be disturbed by the project will be identified
and ties set. Existing striping will be surveyed from Playa Vista Street/Jefferson
Boulevard to Sawtelle Boulevard.
The depth of substructures will be identified as necessary. However, the majority of the
street improvements will be on the surface, therefore, it is not anticipated that
underground substructures will be impacted. It was noted that waterlines may existCITY OF CULVER CITY
SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDENING PROJECT
close to the corners at Sepulveda Boulevard/Slauson Avenue. Willdan will work with
the water company to determine the specific locations of the water line and their depth
by measuring the valve stem.
Willdan will prepare a proposed geometric layout and submit it to the City for approval.
The project design team will study the site
closely to identify the best overall
alignment for Sepulveda Boulevard based
on constraints caused by existing
improvements. For example, based on
field reconnaissance, it was noted that a
directional freeway sign for 1-405 currently
exists in the median on the south side of
the street at Slauson Avenue. Street
widening at this intersection may need to
be increased by 1 foot on each side of the
street over that which is currently
proposed in order to maintain a 4-foot wide
median within which the sign post can
remain, otherwise a costly sign bridge
would need to be constructed. With a 4-
foot median, the sign can simply be
removed and then relocated to within the
new median, with foundations constructed
in accordance with Ca!trans standard
drawings.
Another key issue that will control the project schedule and perhaps increase project
costs more than anticipated is the Southern California Edison (SCE) utility pole
relocation or undergroundina that will be required due to the widening. Durin g the
course of developing the geometric layout all affected utility poles will be identified in an
attempt to mitigate a utility conflict if possible. Subsequently, after development of the
geometric layout, it will be prudent to meet with SCE in the very early in the plan
development stage to begin the process to either relocate or underground the poles.
This coordination can be handled by our Utility Coordinator.
Upon approval of the geometric layout, a complete set of plans and profiles
incorporating all aspects of the approved geometric alignment will be developed
accordingly, including cross-sections for the street improvements. Ail pertinent existing
and proposed information will be included. The plan set will include the completed title
sheet, typical sections and notes. Plan sheets will be prepared on City of Culver City
title block and include the required information outlined RFP.

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDENING PROJECT
Our approach for pavement rehabilitation will begin with a thorough assessment of
options for a long-term rehabilitation, ideally 20 years. Sampling and testing of the
pavement and subsurface materials and deflection testing will be applied performed to
gather quantifiable data for analysis_ Due to past overlays of existing concrete
pavements, additional coring will be performed to verify existence of underlying PCC
pavements in suspect areas. These areas will be plotted on project base plans.
Next, options will be developed for rehabilitation design. A set of options will be
developed for overlay of existing AC pavement_ Reconstruction repairs will be provided
to minimize the overlay thicknesses to the most cost effective balance in AC areas
based on deflection analysis. Another set of options will be developed for overlay of
existing PCC pavement, where joint reflection is the governing factor rather than
deflections. A value engineering analysis spreadsheet of feasible options will be
developed for consultation with the City on preferences, including lifespan estimates.
The mix of PCC and AC pavements provide a
unique challenge on this project. Some of the PCC
is covered with AC also; a special area of
investigation. Rehab design for PCC slabs, and
AC overlay of both AC and PCC will be needed, all
working together.
Providing a long life structural section for the
AC pavement within the restrictions of grade
imposed by existing curb and gutter and
median will be another pavement engineering
challenge. Willdan deals with this problem
routinely and has developed highly innovative
strategies and analysis methods to resolve
these problems.
One key challenge will be geometric constraints of existing median curbs and curb and
gutters. Providing a viable overlay thickness under the latest more stringent Caltrans
guidelines for use of asphalt rubber is the key issue, but one which Willdan has faced
many times in the past with good success.

41111110010•11 A second evaluation will be performed for a concrete pavement in lieu of rehabilitation.
PCC pavements can easily be designed for 60-year lives or more, and so there is a built
in advantage if the cost factors can be overcome. The analysis will provide for the most
cost effective PCC structural section, and a full cost and lifespan comparison with
rehabilitation options for consultation, review and decision making by City staff.
A pavement design report will incorporate the findings, analysis, conclusions and
recommendations based on consultation with City staff on the various options.
One major advantage that Willdan provides is that the pavement design report evolves
as the project develops in design. Final structural sections are not written in final form
until the final street cross section is developed. Cold milling especially impacts overlay
thickness, along with a host of other late decisions that may be made during design
development. Our pavement engineer is in continuous communication with our civil
design engineers, and together they develop the structural section and the design plans
concurrently as governing parameters are determined.
Another advantage provided by our in-house pavement engineering staff is that our
pavement engineer assists in development of the typical cross sections for the
pavement structure, and also the constructability issues related to pavement joints, etc.
Our pavement engineer will provide a complete joint layout for PCC pavement as he
has on many other projects to avoid unstable slabs and difficulties during construction.
The joint pattern must coincide with the nature of the PC concrete material delivered to
the project, and again our pavement engineer will develop appropriate specifications for
short cure and corresponding joint pattern.
Our pavement engineer also personally prepares the special provisions for the contract
documents and provides a final proof of the project plans, including traffic control related
to construction of paving. In fact, he maintains close communication with our traffic
engineering staff to ensure that such things as construction joints for PCC pavement
correspond appropriately with traffic control delineation. These factors can make the
difference between straightforward construction with a beautiful pavement outcome, and
problematic construction with joints in the wheel path and some unstable slabs.
In addition to development of pavement rehabilitation strategies, wheelchair ramps will
be assessed for ADA compliance and locations where removal and repair of damaged
curb, gutter, sidewalk, and driveway approaches will be determined and presented to
the City for review and concurrence.
Plans and contract specifications will be prepared in accordance with the City's current
standards and the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book).
Willdan is prepared to provide project specific special provisions that amend or modify
the standard provisions.CITY OF CULVER CITY
SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDENING PROJECT
AMMO Willdan will prepare quantity calculations and an engineer's estimate. Separate quantity
calculations for each sheet will be independently checked and separate calculations
submitted. Calculation sheets will be neat and orderly and include the name of the
engineer that prepared the calculations. Back-up calculations for lump sum bid items
and estimates to be separated for a particular jurisdiction can also be provided.
For the various submittal milestones, Willdan and its project team will prepare for and
facilitate a review conference with the appropriate review personnel from the City to
thoroughly understand each comment and clarify any design issues. Each comment
provided in writing and the comments shown on the plans will be addressed in a
"Response to Comment Memorandum".
Willdan will furnish preliminary and final construction cost estimates with quantities for
the roadway improvements as part of the submittal packages in a format acceptable to
the City.
Landscape Concept Development
The development of the landscape design for median modification areas will incorporate
all aspects of local and state water conservation standards. The tree, shrub and
groundcover palette will be comprised of California friendly, drought tolerant species
suitable for this particular site and complement the adjacent landscape theme.
Currently, the planting palette consists of trees and shrubs such as, Eucalyptus Lemon
Scented Gum, Canary Island Pine Trees, Indian Hawthorn, Fern Pines, Cast Iron Plant,
Lily of the Nile and Bronze loquat.
The irrigation design will be state-of-the-art automatic irrigation system, which would
deliver the highest efficiency. All plants will be selected based on low maintenance
requirements such as trimming/pruning cycles, fertilization needs, hardiness, and
reclaimed water adaptability, if required.
Since this is a street improvement project
involving landscape elements, visibility and
unobstructed views for both the pedestrian and
driver are major factors in properly locating trees
and shrubs within the parkways and medians.
Our landscape design work will include
coordination between the civil and traffic
engineers.
Modification to the medians may adversely
affect median trees as can be seen at left.
During the preliminary design phase, Willdan
will employ an ISA certified arborist to examine
and assess the amount of potential root damage

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD WIDEIV1NG PROJECT
a specific tree will encounter because of the curb re-alignment In turn, this important
field assessment will help in determining the tree's viability once the tree's anchoring
system is compromised. Furthermore, this tree root assessment report will assist in the
preparation of the construction plans phase when determining tree preservation or tree
removal call-outs.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Willdan operates daily under a company-wide Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC) Program. The key component of this plan is Willdan's QA/QC Manual. This
program has proven itself very effective and successful and is a continuous process that
occurs day-to-day.
All submittals will meet the objectives of the project in terms of schedule and accuracy.
They will be developed in compliance with all applicable standards and specifications in
the formats specified by the City and respective reviewing agencies. Prior to submittal,
each deliverable will undergo a quality control review by the Project Engineer, Deputy
Project Manager, and the Project Manager. Each discipline leader is responsible for
adhering to the QA/QC program and is held accountable for the quality of his/her
product.
In addition to the reviews performed by the direct project team as stated above, the
project will undergo a review by independent qualified staff not involved in day to day
development of the project plans and specifications.
