Executive Summary
Staff requires the assistance of a consultant firm to provide construction management and

the Miscellaneous Pipeline Replacements Project (Project). A staff selection committee
completed their review of the firm's qualifications and recommends authorizing an Agreement
with Valley CM, Inc. Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) Board of Directors' (Board)
authorization of the Agreement is required per Carlsbad Municipal Code section 3.28.060(D), as
the value for this work is greater than $100,000.
Discussion
On Jan. 24, 2017, the Board adopted Resolution No. 1560 authorizing an Agreement with
Kennedy/Jenks Consultants to design the Project. The Project is part of the CMWD's $37 million
Phase Ill Recycled Water Program and will provide recycled water through seven miles of
pipeline to customers in northern Carlsbad along Tamarack Ave., Kelly Dr., Marron Rd., Haymar
Dr., and El Camino Real from Chestnut Ave. to Haymar Dr.
In conjunction with construction of the recycled water pipeline, the Project includes
construction of potable water main improvements along the alignment of the recycled water
pipeline work area. The potable water main improvements are part of a larger project that
includes construction of approximately 1,850 linear feet of 8-inch diameter and 4,100 linear
feet of 6-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) potable water pipeline and services. The
potable water main improvements will be completed in the vicinity of the Segment 5 recycled
water work. These improvements are included in this project to minimize construction impacts
to residents and capitalize on construction savings due to economies of scale. The
improvements will be completed within the Carlsbad Palisades development near Tamarack

Ave. and El Camino Real, and throughout the development on Flower Fields Way off Avenida de
Anita.
On April 26, 2018, staff issued a Request for Qualifications on the city's website for solicitation
of construction management and inspection consulting services for the Project. On May 23,
2018, six consultant proposals were received and copies were distributed to a selection
committee comprised of staff from the Public Works Department. On July 3, 2018, the staff
selection committee met to share their independent analyses of the consultant proposals.
These evaluations were then tabulated and ranked. Based upon the ranking from the selection
committee, staff recommends award of an Agreement for construction management and
inspection services to Valley CM, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $899,620.

specifications and prepare for construction activities. Ferreira Coastal Construction Co. will
construct and complete the project. Construction is estimated to begin in the Fall of 2018.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
On November 27, 2012, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) adopted Resolution No
1455 adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Phase Ill Recycled Water Project (EIA 12-02, SCH No.
2012091004, on file in the Planning Division). Part of this project is a sub-component (ES 5) of
the Phase Ill Recycled Water Project and is within the scope of the prior environmental
documents. However, portions of the recycled water line have been extended and the
proposed potable water lines have been added to the project, which were not analyzed in the
MND.
To provide environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), CMWD consulted with environmental firm Helix Planning, Inc. (Helix) to determine if
the revisions to the project would trigger a supplemental or subsequent MND, or if a simpler
document, an addendum, could be prepared. CEQA Guideline Section15164 states that "the
lead agency ... shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or
additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred."
Staff has reviewed the project changes, and the Addendum prepared by Helix, and found that
none of the requirements in CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 for a subsequent MND have been
triggered. Therefore, the revised project is within the scope of the adopted MND (EIA 12-02)
and use of an addendum to document the project changes is appropriate. Guideline 15164 also
notes an addendum need not be circulated for public review but may simply be attached to the
MND. All applicable mitigation measures contained in the environmental documents have been
incorporated into the construction documents.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. Prior to the start of
construction, the public will be notified of construction activities and potential impacts. The
contractor will provide notification to the public per their contract requirements.

Valley CM's senior staff all have significant experience as both a general contractor and an owner's representative. This
contractor experience aids tremendously in seeing the big picture, anticipating problems and keeping the project moving to
successful completion.
• Recent & Relevant Experiences
Valley CM has assembled an experienced team that has worked together on recent and relevant projects including
Olivenhain Water District's Village Park Recycled Water Project. This $8 million project included the conversation of a
potable water tank to recycled water and installation of over 40,000 LF of 4-inch to 12-inch PVC recycled water pipelines
in the Village Park area of Encinitas. The following team members have all worked together previously, and all have an
established track record of successful projects.
o Paul Mochel, PE, CCM will be the Project Executive. Paul is the founder of Valley CM and has over 24
years' experience in the water and wastewater construction. He is also an A WW A/ ABP A Certified

polyurethane coating installed via open trench through
heavily traveled 2-lane roads, environmentally
sensitive land inside only a 20' wide easement and
300LF installed through a drill and blast rock tunnel
underneath Escondido Creek. Phase 2 included the
connection of the AA pipeline at each end to the San
Diego County Water Authority Pipeline 5 and Flow
Control Facility OV-8. The Pipeline 5 connection
required the installation of a 108" x 48" tee that had to
be installed during a 10-day shutdown window. This
required the contractor to work 24/7 during this time
to ensure completion within the 10-day window and
utilized over 2,000 man-hours in 1 week. The Flow
Control Facility OV-8 connection included the
installation of36-inch Plunger and Ball Valves as well
as a venturi flow meter. Extensive coordination was
required with the San Diego County Water Authority.

The following team members were chosen due to their specific experience and working knowledge of the type of projects
anticipated in this contract. Resumes for all personnel can be found in the Appendix. A summary of key personnel
experiences is included below.
Paul Mochel, PE, CCM, CWI will be the Project Executive for the entire duration of the contract. Paul is a proven leader
whose career includes significant experience on all sides of the water and wastewater industry. He started his career as a
water and wastewater CIP inspector for the City of San Diego, continued as a project manager for a local underground
contractor specializing in open cut and microtunneling and then transitioned to a construction manager for various Cities
and Special Districts in Southern California. This well-rounded experience allows Paul to see the big picture for projects as
well as have an intimate knowledge of the small details that are required for a project to be successful. Paul has significant
experience in:
• Cut & Cover (4" -l08" CMLC, PVC, DIP, RCP, CMP, HDPE, FRP). Paul has extensive experience with
pipeline construction in with a variety of materials, including larger diameter pipe (36" -l08"), which included
new pipelines as well as remove and replace. His projects have required extensive dewatering including areas of
significant groundwater contamination. Paul has installed pipeline in heavily travelled roads in business and
industrial areas and worked with the businesses to minimize impacts on the businesses from construction.
• Microtunneling/Jack & Bore. Paul worked as a project manager for BRR-Garver, one of the first contractors to
perform microtunneling in the United States. Paul has installed over 7,600 LF of pipeline via microtunneling
including the installation of over 6,000 If of 42" polymer concrete pipe through an area of contaminated
groundwater where no dewatering was allowed and 30" steel casing through contaminated soil and groundwater

facilities, Frank understands the contractor's requirements to complete the job while maintaining the owner's best interest.
5. PROJECT APPROACH
CM Philosophy
Commitment
Valley CM was founded solely to provide Construction Management and Inspection for water and wastewater project. By
narrowing the focus of what we do, we are able to provide the highest level of service and knowledge for our clients. Our
narrow focus allows Valley CM to realize significant economic advantages while maintaining a depth of specialized
experience. This commitment is driven by Valley CM's founder's passion for the challenges of this type of work.
Right Personnel
The 1ight personnel are proactive, solutions oriented with significant and relevant project experience that are able to resolve
issues at the lowest levels. Valley CM's core staff have significant contractor experience which aids tremendously in
seeing the big picture, anticipating problems and keeping the project moving to successful completion. Valley CM firrnly
believes that by bringing the contractor's perspective to the owner's side of the table, we can be a proactive participant in
the project and anticipate and mitigate problems with the contractor. The right personnel are well managed by senior staff
and sensitive to the need to have a seamless integration with the City staff. It is also imperative that the field inspectors
have the proper tools and support required to complete the project. This includes a detailed Construction Management
(CM) Manual which outlines in detail the administrative process to be used for the project and is updated to reflect the
specific requirements of the project and owner. All field personnel have smart phones and laptop computer for constant
access to all of the project documents.
Project Advocate
Valley CM is an advocate for the project. We are spending the public's money and the CM needs to ensure it is spent
properly. Being an adversarial or pushover CM doesn't benefit anybody. Valley CM's collaborative approach will treat
each stakeholder in a professional and consistent manner. Once the contractors know our expectations, see that the
documents are being interpreted in a consistent manner, and that all stakeholders are being treated in a fair and equitable
manner, they will respond in a like manner. This approach will create fewer problems in administering the project and has
worked well on past projects.
Setting the right tone at the beginning of the project can make or break the project. Valley CM has found that helping the
contractor understand upfront exactly what the CM team expects of them pays dividends down the road. The contractor's
superintendents and foreman typically do not review the plans and specifications until shortly before the project starts.

{city of
Carlsbad
Califo r nia
We've found that by being proactive in assisting the contractor to understand the contract requirements up front, we
develop a mutual respect with the contractor and a good working relationship.
Public Relations
Valley CM still recognizes that community relationships can be as important as the technical side of this project. We pride
ourselves in being "good neighbors" in the community for all projects. Proactive communication with the affected public
before, during and after the project can go a long way to contributing to the success of the project. It is Valley CM's policy
to provide cell phone numbers (answered 24 hours/day) to the public to allow direct access to the project personnel
who can answer questions or solve their field/construction problems quickly.
Construction Management Techniques
Project Planning Meeting (Mini-Partnering)
Valley CM will also hold a Project Planning Meeting with the contractor prior to the pre-construction meeting. At this
meeting, the CM and Contractor (including the foreman and estimator) review every page of the plans and specifications to
flush out problems, discrepancies and also discuss the contractor's proposed plan to complete the project to foresee any
problems. The contractor will be asked to bring their bid estimate to the meeting. Resolving issues at this time has saved
other clients significant time and costs. This meeting also has the beneficial effect of becoming a meaningful partnering
session without anybody realizing it. This is the first time all relevant parties are face to face to begin developing a
collaborative working relationship. The contractor will see exactly how the CM interpret any issues they bring up. By
responding in a fair and reasonable manner, the contractor will respond likewise and start the project with the correct tone
and build collaboration. These meetings have lasted from a few hours to an entire week. Contractors often state they wish
all their projects had these meetings. One of these meetings resulted in the discovery that half of the instrumentation
drawings for a water treatment plant were missing from the bid set. The costs to correct this problem were significantly
cheaper prior to construction. Discovering and solving problems prior to mobilization is significantly easier and often at
reduced or no costs.
Risk Management
Change order management begins at the project planning meeting to flush out any problems and address them quickly and
typically at a lesser cost than if encountered during construction. The contractor is also instructed of the proper procedure
that must be followed for claiming a change condition during construction. During construction Valley CM's inspectors
are trained to follow the proper procedures for documenting changed conditions. Quick response to a change condition is
essential. Valley CM's contractor experience allows a thorough preliminary evaluation of all requested changes for
appropriateness, cost-effectiveness, confirmation of entitlement and time impact prior to issuing it to the contractor a
request for quotation. Valley CM typically prepares an independent estimates and schedule impact analyses for larger
proposed changes to be used as a baseline for negotiations. We maintain a fair and objective approach to negotiations and
assure that appropriate changes are authorized in a timely manner. The money is the blood of this project and must be
constantly monitored to ensure an efficient completion of the projects. RESOLVED DISPUTES DO NOT BECOME
CLAIMS! Valley CM has litigation experience on both the owner's and contractor's side. This experience reinforces the
key to successful claims management is to resolve them quickly and fairly. Valley CM settled a $1.IM delay claim due to
significant design errors for $400K because it was settled quickly and reasonably.
Scope of Work
Valley CM has successful performed all of the items and provided the deliverables listed in the Scope Of Services (Exhibit
"A") for this project. We have specialized experience in completing the required scope of services as follows
Contract Administration and Communication
Valley CM has extensive experience managing CM effort and supervision of inspection staff. Valley CM will provide
weekly schedule updates to City staff as well as conversations and emails to alert City staff of any changes in schedule or
potential change orders. Valley CM will present a monthly progress report to the City to provide a summary of the project
for use by the City in presenting the project to other departments or the board. The report will outline in text, with
supporting photo documentation, the progress of the project including financial status of the construction and CM contract,
schedule status change order status and copies of all project logs (RFI' s, submittals, change orders, correspondence, etc).
Requests for Information (RFI's)

'
Valley CM will manage contractor requests for information (RFI's) during construction. The status of RFI's will be
accounted for in the RFI log. Valley CM believes that RFl's should be processed at the lowest level possible. RFI's will be
reviewing and a response drafted for City review. If required, Valley CM will forward to the Designer for further review.
Valley CM will respond to RFI's typically in less than working 2 days.
Shop Drawings & Submittal Reviews
Valley CM will log in, track, process, and review submittals, plans, profiles and shop drawings. Valley CM will review
each submittal for completeness and compliance with all contract requirements. Submittals such as pipe material, fittings,
etc. can be reviewed and approved by Valley CM with any deviations sent to the Designer for approval if the City requires.
All submittals will be tracked on the submittal log and be converted to PDF format and stored in the projects document
control system.
Construction Progress Meetings
Valley CM will coordinate with the City, contractor and appropriate Agencies and chair all meetings. Valley CM has
standard agendas for the preconstruction meeting and progress meeting that will be modified for this contract.
Valley CM will hold bi-weekly progress meetings with the contractor and their appropriate subcontractors to review
construction progress. We will keep minutes of the meetings, assigning action items, responsibilities, and documenting
project trends. Minutes will be distributed within 2 days of the progress meeting. Meetings will include reviewing the
contractor's three-week look ahead schedule (including shutdown and tie-in work), submittals and RPI/design clarification
status, potential change orders and change orders, delays and potential claims, construction problem resolution and public
outreach issues. Minutes will include a copy of the latest submittal, RFI and change order logs.
Schedule Review
Valley CM's team will review the contractor's baseline Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule to ensure that the sequencing
and durations reflect a true representation of the construction. We will check the logic network and the activity input
durations and precedents for reasonableness of the sequence and duration of the activities. Specified construction
sequencing, shutdown and scheduling constraints, interfacing with adjacent contracts, as well as all submittals,
procurement, construction, shutdowns and tie-ins and closeout actives that are included for work will be confirmed. Valley
CM will also perform detailed reviews of the contractor's monthly schedule update to ensure that actual work progress
based upon their records is properly incorporated, including the impacts of any change order work. Valley CM will also
maintain its own "As-Built" schedule for verifying the contractor's schedule. Valley CM will require the contractor to
prepare a recovery schedule when any critical path falls significantly behind schedule and will monitor its effectiveness in
restoring the schedule. Valley CM will also review the weekly 3-week look-ahead schedule against the current approved
schedule to determine if the project is slipping behind schedule. It is easier to correct smaller delays discovered on a
weekly basis than a larger delay on a monthly basis. Contractors prefer to make smaller adjustments to the schedule on a
weekly basis to rectify delays.
Progress Payment Application
Valley CM will review the contractor's Schedule of Values to ensure it represents an appropriate detailed cost breakdown
for each lump sum item as required by the contract. Valley CM will review the monthly Progress Payment Request to
ensure it represent the actual work completed that month and provide a recommendation to the City for payment. Valley
CM will maintain red-line markups of the contract drawings showing all change order items and RFls/design clarifications,
as well as other information regarding underground utilities and information useful to the City for future maintenance and
construction. Valley CM will review the contractor's set of marked up drawings to verify completeness prior to processing
the monthly pay estimate.
Change Orders and Claims
Valley CM will manage the change order process to help obtain a fair and reasonable price for legitimate extra work items.
Valley CM will request and log change order (extra work) quotations as requested by the City or contractor and will
coordinate the preparation of any revised specifications and/or sketches needed to define the scope of the extra work. In
each case, until a potential extra work item is confirmed and executed as a change order ( or is dropped), it will be assigned
a potential change order (PCO) number to facilitate tracking and filing. In this manner, several potential change orders can
subsequently be incorporated into a single contract change order. Change order work performed on a time-and-materials
basis will be verified daily. Valley CM will enter the change order work activities into the CPM schedule to verify
requested time extensions impacts accompanying the change order. A detailed change order cost estimate with which to
compare and negotiate the contractor's cost quotation will be prepared for larger change orders. Valley CM will then

recommend acceptance or rejection of the terms of the change order to the City. If the change order is accepted, Valley CM
will prepare the document for signature. Ifthere is disputed extra work, Valley CM will work with the City and contractor
until the item has been satisfactorily resolved. If it is not resolved, Valley CM will track the item as a potential claim.
Change order status will be included in the monthly status report.
Valley CM will take the lead in the resolution of any contract claims for this project during the construction contract period.
We will keep current logs of Notice of Potential Claims and will prepare documents and supporting evidence regarding
claims. Information on each individual Notice of Potential Claim will be kept separately in the project files. Valley CM will
provide complete documentation, a claims response strategy, and cost analysis for the City review. However, it is Valley
CM's intent to resolve claims and disputed work quickly and fairly as our experience has proven this typically results in the
lowest cost to the City. Based on past experience, resolved issues don't' become claims!
Project Closeout
Project closeout can often be an overlooked item on the project. Valley CM believe that a successful closeout starts at the
beginning of the project by explaining to the contractor what will be required and reminding them as the project progresses.
Valley CM typically prepares an ongoing punch list to allow the contractor to complete these items as the work progresses
instead of waiting to the end. We also require O&M manuals early to allow enough time for review by Operations.
Redlines are reviewed on a monthly basis as a perquisite for processing the progress payment so the accuracy is maintained
throughout the project and we are not trying to recreate it at the end.
Administration and Record Keeping
Valley CM utilizes Smartsheet, a cloud-based project management software program. All project documents (submittals,
RFI's, meeting minutes, progress payments, etc.) are transmitted, logged and shared electronically utilizing this cloud-
based system. Each user (City, Contractor and Valley CM) has separate login credentials that allows easy tracking of all
use and restricted access to specific areas as needed. A dependable and simple document control system is the key to
managing claims. At the end of the project, a thumb drive with all the electronic copies will be turned over to the City
Field Observation/Inspection
Valley CM will provide full-time inspection services to monitor the contractor's work for contract compliance during
construction. Valley CM's inspector will document the contractor's daily work activities and compliance with all City and
Agency standard specifications for utility materials and installation procedures through preparation of daily construction
reports and logs. Hard copies of the daily construction reports and logs will also be maintained at Valley CM's office and
converted to PDF format and uploaded to the document control site on a regular basis. Logs will include verbal, electronic
and telephone conversations, material certification for compliance with the contract, compaction results, pipe testing result,
reinforced concrete inspection, concrete strength testing and coordination and verification of all 3rd part quality control
testing. For this project, the yd party QC consultant will be provided and paid for by the City with coordination required by
Valley CM.
Deficient work will be identified, tracked, and corrected using advisory notices and non-conformance reporting systems.
Any damage to private or public property will be tracked, resolved, and reported in a timely manner. Compliance with all
agency encroachment and other permits will be monitored and reported. All materials will be verified and documented for
compliance with plans, specifications and approved submittals.
Valley CM will perform a final project walkthrough with the City and contractor to prepare the final punch list. Any items
remaining from preliminary punch lists and logs of nonconforming work will be added. Items from the post-construction
conditions survey will be added and both the contractor and Valley CM will sign off on the completion of each punch list
item.
Daily Inspection Reports.
Valley CM utilized Note Vault software for preparation of our daily reports. Note Vault is a software app that allows Lisa
to speak his notes regarding the description of the current activities. Photographs can be tagged to each specific note entry.
The voice notes are then transcribed, and the daily report is automatically generated and emailed to Lisa for review on a
daily basis. This application virtually eliminates the old, time consuming way of handwriting daily reports and allows for a
more detailed and thorough daily report. The daily report automatically pulls the current, local weather three times during
the day and also allows the easy input of labor and equipment used. The daily inspection reports can be emailed to the
City and any other personnel on a daily basis.

Photographs
Digital photos and video records will be taken of work progress (and preconstruction conditions) to document the
contractor's work. All photos will be annotated with key words for future searching and stored in electronic files. Drone
photograph and videos will be taken of the project on a regular basis.
Proiect Issues (The really important stuff!)
Valley CM staff have reviewed the plans and specification and driven the project. The following items summarize key
project issues to make this project a success.
• PUBLIC RELATIONS. The work on this project will affect a tremendously dense, urban environment that has
been subject to various construction projects (public works and private development) in the same general area for
several years. While Valley CM will work hand-in-hand with the contractor to minimize the impact of the
physical construction, the public will still be inconvenienced. Valley CM's goal is to minimize this construction
inconvenience by implementing an aggressive public relations program. This program will ensure all directly
affected parties (especially the HOA residents) have immediate access to the current project information and
current schedule. Providing detailed and accurate schedule information will allow the public to plan for the
disruption and to minimize the impact on their daily lives.
o City of Carlsbad Website. The City's website lists project currently under construction.
(http://www.carlsbadca.gov/residents/construction.asp ). Valley CM will make sure this project is listed
separately and provide updated information on a weekly basis to the City, so residents have accurate
information when accessing the website. This information will include an overall site map that lists the
areas affected by construction, so the public can plan their routes accordingly.
o City of Carlsbad Streets Division Phone Calls. The City's website directs residents to call the City
Streets Division (760-434-2980) with Construction Complaints on public streets. Valley CM will ensure
the person(s) answering this phone has the latest information regarding the project so they can answer
their questions. Valley CM will also provide a contact list of project staff, so Streets Division can
provide the public with these phone numbers if they have additional questions. Valley CM will also
ensure that the Streets Division has a weekly, updated location map for all work that can also be emailed
to the residents if requested. Valley CM will follow up weekly with Streets Division to log all calls
made regarding this project.
o Homeowner's Associations (HOA). The project includes work at the Flower Fields Apartments and
Carlsbad Palisades. These HOA's have very narrow streets and the work will severely impact these
residents. Valley CM will meet with each HOA immediately after the approval of the baseline schedule
to discuss the work and approximate time frame. We will discuss the scope of work (including final
paving), schedule of work, daily work hours, limits of work, noise, trash pickup, parking impacts, etc. so
the HOA can broadcast this information to the residents with plenty of advance notice of the work and a
clear idea of the level of impacts it will have.
o Businesses on El Camino Real. The intersection of El Camion Real and Marron Road has a large
business presence that has been affected by various construction projects over the last several years.
Additionally, business tend to quickly voice their concerns and complaints to the City when construction
affects their businesses. Valley CM staff will meet with the property managers for The Shoppes at
Carlsbad, the Carlsbad Plaza South Shopping Center and Carlsbad Plaza (CVSNons Center). Valley CM
will meet with each property manager immediately after the approval of the baseline schedule to discuss
the work and approximate time frame. We will discuss the scope of work (including final paving),
schedule of work, daily work hours, limits of work, noise, trash pickup, parking impacts, etc. so the
property manager can broadcast this information to the business with plenty of advance notice of the
work and a clear idea of the level of impacts it will have. Valley CM will also meet with individual
business owners and/or managers as needed throughout the project.
• SCHEDULE. A thorough and detailed baseline schedule will be one of the main keys to the success of the
project. Specification Section 6.1.2. l O states that the Notice to Proceed will NOT be issued until the baseline
schedule is approved. This forces the contractor to provide a thought out and clear plan for constructing the
project BEFORE works starts. Contractors will often be in a hurry to start the work and not provide the proper
level of planning that the project requires to minimize impacts to the public. Valley CM's staff (who all have
significant contractor experience) will provide a detailed and thorough review of the baseline schedule. We will

ensure the ORDER OF WORK requirements of 6-2.1 are incorporated, and more importantly, the activities and
durations of the work reflects an accurate and realistic description of how the work will actually be constructed
and how long it will take. By conditioning the issuance of the NTP upon approval, not just submission, of a
baseline schedule, the contractor will be forced to thoroughly think through the sequence of the entire project
(Potholing 4 weeks prior to pipe installation, expediting "<ork in the HOA's, El Camino Real, Environmental
Sensitive Areas, maximum 500LF trench open, etc.) and set the project up for success. The project specifications
also predicates monthly progress payments with an approved, monthly schedule update. This forces the contractor
to continually update the schedule in a clear, concise
and accurate manner throughout the entire project.
Valley CM will provide a thorough review of each
monthly schedule update to ensure it reflect the actual
progress of the project.
o Flower Fields HOA. This location has
narrow roadways and over 112 apartments
with almost 300 residents. Specific care must
be taken to address ingress/egress during
construction along with trash service. Valley
CM will ensure the contractor has a clear and
workable plan for this area which is
communicated well in advance to the HOA and residents. The photo on the right shows the narrow
roadways where the new RW water line will be installed.
o Carlsbad Palisades HOA. This location is a
collection of townhomes with separate
garages for each townhome. There is limited
open parking. Specific care must be taken to
address ingress/egress during construction
along with trash service. Valley CM will
ensure the contractor has a clear and workable
plan for this area which is communicated well
in advance to the HOA and residents. The
photo on the right shows the narrow roadways
where the new RW water line will be
installed.
• TRAFFIC CONTROL/WORK HOURS. The project plans provide traffic control plans for the major arterial
streets. However, the contractor will still be required to provide traffic control plans for review and approval for
several of the residential and non-arterial streets. Changeable Message Boards (CMB's) should be required to be
posted 7-10 days prior to any work on El Camino Real, Cannon Rd, Marron Rd and Tamarack Avenue. This will
provide notification to the traveling public of the upcoming work so alternative arrangements can be made to
minimize disruption.
o The traffic control plans for several locations on El Camion Real offers the contractor the option of
working 8:30am-3 :30pm OR night work 10pm-5am. Valley CM recommends specifying night work only
for El Camino Real North of Marron and work on Marron that affects access to the Shoppes at Carlsbad
mall. Night work presents unique safety and logistic challenges when the night work is only for a small
portion of the project.
o Night work typically generators noise complaints due to the equipment back-up alarm. Cal-OSHA
regulation require the back-up alarms be audible from 200ft behind the vehicle so muffling or lowering
the volume can possibly violate this regulation. However, there are new Cal-OSHA approved back-
up alarms that utilize "white noise" frequency sound instead of the tonal "beep-beep" sound.
Brigade Electronic manufactures the BBS-TEK White Sound Alarm. The "white noise" sound
dramatically reduces the noise to the surrounding community while maintaining a safe environment for
the workers. Olivenhain Municipal Water District has implemented the "white noise" backup alarms
with much success on several of their vehicles over the last year. However, the noise generated by saw
cutting can be mitigated by modifying the specifications to requiring the contractor to remove the asphalt
by use of a "zipper" type grinder. While still noisy, it is significantly quieter than saw cutting and more
tolerable by the public.

o Kelly Elementary School is located at the south end of Kelly Drive at Park Drive. The work in the area
will need to be restricted to summer when school is not in session as the driveway entrance to the school
is located on Kelly Drive.
o Traffic Control Plan Sheet TC-33 calls the closure of westbound Cannon to accommodate the proposed
bore pit under the NCTD tracks with an accompanying detour south to Palomar Airport Rd and then north
on Avenida Encinas. Sheet TC-33 shows work hours of 8:30am-3pm, however jack and bore operations
require 24/7 traffic control for the duration of the tunneling due to the native of this type of construction.
Based on field review for the location, there does not appear to be a safe alternative to allow through
traffic without significant realignment of the RW main. This is impractical due to the number of existing
utilities in this area. Valley CM recommends revising the traffic control plans for this location to
accommodate 24/7 traffic control and require the contractor to complete this work with definitive time
restrictions to minimize the impact of this detour to the traveling public. A significant number of cars use
this road for access to southbound I-5 each morning and there will be initial complaints when this detour
is implement. CMB' s should be posted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to this closure to maximize notice to
drivers using this route.
o Traffic Control Plan Sheet TC-56 calls for the complete closure of Northbound Pontiac Drive during
installation of the RW water main along Tamarack A venue and requires a significant detour for access to
this area. Valley CM recommends modifying the traffic control plans for this area to only allow for half
of Pontiac Drive to be closed at a time, allowing through traffic and eliminating the detour. This will
significantly reduce the burden of a significant detour on the residents in this area.
• TECHNICALISSUES
o Cannon Road (Sheet C-8). The 54-inch desalinization pipeline was installed via tunnel at this location
and there is likely the remainder of the beam and plate shoring used for the pit directly in the pipeline
alignment. Valley CM has confirmed that beam and plate shoring was used in this location. Typically
only the top 5' of the beams and plates are removed and the remainder left in place when complete.
Additional potholing should be required in this location to determine if there is any obstruction.

• There are several fire hydrants visible at the site that are NOT shown on the plans to be
reconnected. The plans should be modified to reconnect all fire hydrants as the existing 8-inch
water line is being abandoned during this work.
• The paving requirements for this area omits a small section of roadway that doesn't have
pipeline replacement. This area should be included in the overall paving requirements as the
entire remainder of the roadways will be repaved.

o Tamarack Slurry Seal. Tamarack Ave. appear to have recently been slurry sealed and full width slurry
seal should be required in the bid in this area to maintain the City's pavement management plan.
o Lump Sum Bid Items. The pipeline installation bid items are all currently lump sum bid items. Valley
CM recommends changing these to a LF bid item to more easily accommodate additions/deduction of the
actual pipeline quantity.
o Equipment Storage. Specification Section 7-10.2 restricts the contractor for excessive use of the public
street for equipment storage. Valley CM will ensure this requirement is enforces to minimize impact to
the public during the work
o Recycled Water Separation Guidelines. The State Water Resources Control Board issued new
guidance for Separation of Water Mains and Non-Potable Pipelines on December 14, 2017. This
guidance letter supersedes Guidance Memo 2003-02, dated October 15, 2003. Valley CM will ensure the
project is constructed within these guidelines when any redesigns of the pipeline are required due to
utility conflicts. Both Paul Mochel and Lisa Craig are certified Cross Connection Specialists and
performed this work on the OMWD Village Park Recycled Water Project.

The following provides responses to inquiries and additional information for the referenced project. Proposer
must acknowledge receipt of this Addendum on the Bid Form. Failure to do so may subject proposer to
disqualification.
Response to Inquiries:
1 Q. Will a cover and/or dividers be excluded from the 15-page maximum?
1A. Yes.
2Q. On RFQ page 9, under Payment, it states that, "the normal hourly rate charged to the City
will include any additional costs the consulting firm may incur for overtime." Can you
clarify if the labor rates submitted as part of the cost proposal should be a single rate
inclusive of overtime or shown as separate regular and overtime rates. If only one
inclusive rate is desired, can the City provide an approximate number of overtime and
double-time hours anticipated for this project?
2A. Please show as separate rates.
3Q. Section 02223 identifies the contractor responsible for trench compaction testing and backfill
testing, material testing for asphalt and concrete is normally handled through the City's on-
call testing firm. Is this the preferred method or should the CM consultant Include an
estimate for those services? For consistency, one alternative to consider is having the City
provide a dollar amount that all firms use for the proposal.
3A. The City will be responsible for contracting with a testing firm. The selected consultant will be
responsible for coordinating necessary testing inspections during construction.
40. The plans identify areas for culture monitoring. It was unclear who will provide those
services? The plans identify the City will provide a Biologist, we assume Carlsbad will
provide those services and not the consultant?
4A. Correct. The city will provide cultural monitoring.
