administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical
changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department anticipates the need for full-time project management assistance
through the end of the current fiscal year. Interwest Consulting Group has submitted a
proposal to provide staff augmentation to assist the Department on coordinating its
various public works projects, at a rate of $120 to $140 per hour. The requested
approval with authorize a Purchase Order in the amount of $150,000 for project
management consulting services. All costs incurred are paid from the various funding
sources previously appropriated by City Council for each specific public works project

RE: Proposal to Assist the Public Works& Engineering Department on various projects
Mr. Khamphou:
Interwest Consulting Group is pleased to submit our proposal to provide professional support assistance services to
the City of Palm Springs Public Works and Engineering Department on various projects. We are large enough—over
280 employees —to serve all of your public and private project needs, yet small enough to ensure that we maintain
focus and are responsive to the needs of Palm Springs. We currently serve over 200 cities, counties and stale

are under contract with the City of Palm Springs to provide Construction Management, Public Works Inspection and

We thoroughly understand the challenges and requirements of municipal governments since many of our staff have
held senior and executive management positions with numerous California cities including former Public Works
Directors, City Engineers, Capital Projects Managers, Construction Managers, Public Works Inspectors, Chief
Building Officials, and Building Inspectors. This background and experience is important since serving in the capacity
of local agency representative requires a high level of sensitivity towards community and special interest group
issues. Accordingly, our professional staff truly understands and values the importance of maintaining a focus on
representing the interests of our public agency clients in a manner which reflects positively on the cities we serve.
As partners with the City,we will provide the following:

customers (residents, engineers, contractors) with excellent service. We are committed to providing a
high level of service to you and your constituents.
✓ Tailored, City-specific services. We deliver skilled staff that is experienced and fully capable of
providing the outlined services required by the City
✓ Timely turnaround service. We work with you to develop the most responsive schedule to meet the
time constraints placed on your projects. Interwest Consulting Group will meet or exceed our proposed
turnaround times.
✓ Effective Coordination with other City Departments. Our staff is trained in promoting collaboration
and cooperation with other departments and agencies. Effective communication is a key component
and we have multiple communication solutions available, which will be flexible to the unique needs of
the City.

of municipal government. Below are a few samples of our relevant experience:

of months. We worked closely with staff to maintain a high level of customer
service and deliver quality plan reviews to the City. We were selected to provide
City Engineering services in December 2011 and Building and Safety services in Joe Perez

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) Improvement: Interwest developed a transition plan that complied with the
regulations under 28 CFR Part 35.150(d)that set forth the steps necessary to ensure compliance with the ADA and

linkage & map reporting. The PMP had not been updated since 2008 and the City needed the most current and
complete information to be in compliance with the LA County MTA Congestion Management Plan, and to certify that
the streets have been assessed and inventoried to receive both local and federal funds. Interwest is now
implementing the recommendations for the year one improvements which include re-construction and overlay

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Project- Interwest was responsible for the
design and management of sidewalk and roadway improvements to two
existing elementary schools - Wildomar Elementary School and Ronald
Reagan Elementary School. Improvements included new sidewalks,
handicap-accessible ramps, curb and gutter, and roadway widening along
selected routes to each school. The projects were funded by bicycle and
pedestrian safety grants. The Wildomar Elementary improvements were approximately 1.5 acres in size and the
Ronald Reagan improvements consisted of approximately 0.5 acres. This project involved coordination with the
police department and School District to bring to fruition and received extensive coverage in the local
news. Interwest provides oversight for the City's participation in the WRCOG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee
(TUMF) Program and assisted the City in evaluating a regional effort to consider TUMF reductions.. There were
multiple unique challenges associated with each site. The Wildomar Elementary improvements had several
challenges including maintaining multiple existing driveway access points, meandering the sidewalk to avoid existing
trees and utilities, and minor drainage improvements along the affected area. The biggest challenge associated with
the Ronald Reagan improvements was acquiring the additional right-of-way required to construct the roadway and
sidewalk. Interest services provided included Transportation Planning, Capital Project Management, Grant Writing,
and Traffic Engineering. The project was made possible by two grants written and secured by Interest for the City.

City's first Capital Improvement Program, totaling over $8 million in revenue over the next five years. The CIP
identified Measure"A", gas tax, and air quality revenue (AB 2766) to advance projects and programs consistent with
Council direction. The CIP included the traffic signal program, the unpaved roadway program, the slurry seal
program, and accessibility program which involved Interwest collaboration with Riverside County, City Council, and
the public. We also secured and administered over $1 million dollars in grants from the Riverside County
Transportation Commission's SB 821 program, Caltrans Safe Routes to School Program, and the Caltrans Highway
Safety Improvement Program. These funds leveraged existing Measure "A" revenues to bring in state and federal
funds,significantly augmenting the City's Capital Improvement Program budgets.

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
Capital Improvement Program
After completing the City's Pavement Management Program, Interwest identified a priority list of preventive
maintenance projects to further the design fife of the pavement. The budget in FY 2013/2014 includes more than $2
million of thin overlays, crack seal, and slurry seal projects.
The City's Capital Improvement Program expenditures for FY 2013-2014 total more than $13.6 million in over the
next five years. The CIP identified Measure "A", Gas Tax and AB2766 Funds to program and advance projects
consistent with Council direction.The CIP includes resurfacing arterial streets, implementing Pavement Management
Program, preparing grant applications for SR2S and SB 821 to fund schools safety project and synchronizing traffic
signals along Limonite Avenue.The budget also includes $100,000 to prepare a Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian and
a Truck Route.
Bridge Projects -Interwest is an active participant and is working with local, regional and state transportation
agencies to plan, design and fund two major bridge widening projects. The first bridge is a new interchange on
is
Interwest Consulting Group I www.rnterwestgrp.00m Page 16
Limonite at 1-15 ($30 million). The second bridge is a widening project at Hamner at Santa Ana River set to replace
the four lanes with six lanes ($60 million). Interest was successful to fund pre-planning work for both bridges using
Western Riverside Council of Government (WRCOG) Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF). While the
County of Riverside is the lead agency, Interest staff is involved in reviewing and commenting on the work.
Grant Funding
The City of Eastvale was successful in receiving SB 821 and SR2S grant funds ($220,000 and $150,000
respectively)to construct sidewalks at two elementary schools to enhance pedestrian safety. Throughout the project,
Interest completed all necessary Caltrans forms and reports as required for the funding.
In the spring of 2013, the City applied for$100,000 in State funds to prepare a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Interest prepared and submitted all the grant application to RCTC and Caltrans. The study involved four major
categories of data collection and analysis. The study and recommended speed limits were also reviewed by the
Police Department.
Local Experience
The team in this proposal has a large amount of local experience in the Coachella Valley.
Chris A. Vogt, P.E., Project Manager/Key Contact is presently the head of the Interest Consulting Group
Coachella Valley Office located at 431 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs (approximately 2.7 miles from Palm
Springs City Hall). Chris was the Public Works Director/City Engineer for the City of La Quinta for five years.
E. Joseph Shaw, P.E., Program Manager/Sr. Engineer, has extensive experience as a Program Manager and
Senior Engineer. He has experience coordinating all required funding and paperwork with Caltrans District 8 on the
Coachella Valley 1-10 interchange projects (CVAG). Mr. Shaw has recently completed an assignment similar to the
Palm Springs Assignment as Program Manager under contract with the City of Moreno Valley. In Moreno Valley, he
prepared, advertised and administered Request for Proposals (RFPs), managed multiple projects, represent the City
at various meetings, performed traffic or street related investigations, wrote technical specifications, audited projects,
and acted as Program Manager over groups of projects.
Interest's base will be out of the Palm Springs office which is approximately 2.7 miles from the Palm Springs City
Hall. This will allow staff to coordinate efforts with City Staff well since the Palm Springs City Hall is challenged for
space necessitating this work to be completed in our office as opposed to City Hall. There are no conditions or
conflicts of interest that would affect Interest's ability to perform the required duties of this proposal. This proposal
also certifies that Interest Consulting Group has not been disbarred, suspended, or otherwise declared ineligible to
contract with any other federal, state, or local public agency.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Interwest Consulting Group fully understands what is
required for Public Works and Engineering Department
Assistance support services as we serve a number of
municipalities in Southern and Northern California in a
similar capacity. The seamless integration of municipal service professionals in
support of public agencies has been our purpose since Interwest Consulting
Group formed in 2002. As the demands for project delivery are increased, Cities
are faced with the challenge of providing capable and experienced individuals to
manage and coordinate those projects and to ensure proper completion according to the local, state and federal
policies and procedures. Full communication on behalf of the client is essential as well as complete and accurate
documentation. An understanding of the existing policies and procedures and positive working relationships with the
key personnel is also essential for successful administration.
Interwest staff has the experience and expertise to complete all assignment including but not limited to:
• Prepare, Review, and/or Revise Engineering Design and Specifications
• Inspect Designs, Estimates and Specifications for compliance with applicable rules and regulations; check
or prepare cost estimates for budgeting purpose.
• Prepare construction specifications for capital improvement projects; review projects with local utility
companies to reduce construction conflicts.
• Prepare City Council staff reports.
• Administer and coordinate engineering design contracts; review all plans and specifications on contract
projects.
• Other engineering related work as assigned by the City.
Interwest staff begins the coordination process by working with the City's Management staff to define and fully
understand the assigned projects, city goals, and all funding sources for the assigned projects. Interwest will then
complete all steps of the assignment taking care to keep within the guidelines required by each specific funding
source. All local, state and federal laws will be followed to ensure there are no issues throughout the duration of the
assignments. Our goal is to ensure there are no surprises and no lost opportunities for the City.
The first 40 hours of work will be absorbed by the Interwest. We do not expect the City to pay for our training and/or
learning curve. Since the Coachella Valley office is in the City of Palm Springs, approximately 2.7 miles from the City
Hall,we will provide our own office space and equipment.
