P PENDING FUTHER REVIEW S PREQUALIFIED, BUT WILL NOT ACCEPT STATEMENTS OF INTEREST ' L LOSS OF PREQUALIFICATION TAB 3 QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) is committed to providing the highest quality product to our clients. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) is an integral part of project management and must be addressed during all phases of design. To minimize errors, a solid QA/QC plan must be adhered to. CBBEL will follow their Design Department’s Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manual for this project unless the Village has a different QA/QC Plan that they prefer. This section briefly outlines the philosophy and procedures in CBBEL’s QA/QC Manual.
The first step in the QA/QC process is to appoint a QA/QC Manager for the project. The QA/QC Manager for the Salem Drive and Schaumburg Road signal upgrade project will be Martin Worman, PE. Marty has over 15 years of experience in civil design and QA/QC. The QA/QC Manager will be responsible for implementing the QA/QC procedures.
The basic definition of Quality Assurance is a process which ensures that CBBEL’s delivered product conforms to standards. It largely consists of following the appropriate design guidelines and criteria, as well as agency, ordinance and code requirements, throughout a project. Quality Control is defined as reviews intended to eliminate faults from our delivered products. QC largely consists of thorough checks of all deliverables for technical accuracy and completeness, usually at the major project milestones.
In order to provide the best possible quality on all our projects, it is CBBEL’s intention to go beyond the basic definition of QA/QC. The project QA/QC Manager will perform plan reviews to optimize the following parts of the design:
. Project constructability, with an emphasis on avoiding conflicts between existing conditions and the proposed work, . Construction using the proper methods and materials, . Potential alternate solutions that would increase economy or shorten the schedule, . Best workflow that minimizes temporary widening or other temporary construction, . Traffic staging that maximizes the public safety while giving the Contractor sufficient working room and safe working conditions, and . Plans, specifications, and cost and time estimates that communicate the design as clearly as possible and are free from internal contradictions, correctible drafting errors, or important omissions.
The following outline gives the minimum QA/QC procedures to be implemented during each of the design stages, and states who is responsible for that aspect of QA/QC. A complete copy of CBBEL’s QA/QC Manual is available upon request.
1 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
PRELIMINARY DESIGN STAGE:
The Project Manager (PM) will communicate the following to the design staff: 1. When the project has a preliminary engineering phase (Phase I), the horizontal alignment, geometrics, profile and preliminary drainage, lighting, structural design, etc. will form the basis for detailed design. 2. On such projects, the PM will identify non-standard and non-conforming features documented in Phase I. Detailed design must proceed using acceptable, recognized design criteria, typically AASHTO geometric design policy. 3. The PM will review the Phase I utility coordination with the design staff, noting the potential conflicts and tentative or certain relocations that were identified. The PM will indicate the next steps in the coordination and conflict-resolution process. 4. On projects with no Phase I, the PM will identify which design criteria will come from the client, from IDOT, from AASHTO and/or other sources. 5. The PM will make a site visit, preferably before conducting a client kick-off meeting to finalize the project scope, schedule, deliverables and discuss major issues. The PM will decide if additional staff need to visit the project site. Regardless, the PM must conduct an internal kick-off meeting to inform staff about the client’s needs and expectations expressed during Phase I, the client kick-off meeting, or by other contact. 6. The PM will decide what pay item naming convention will be used in the project (IDOT Coded Pay items or as required by the client). To the greatest extent possible, these pay items should be used in all plan callouts, not just on the Summary of Quantities.
Design staff will develop and engineer the Preliminary deliverables as outlined below: 1. Refer to the CBBEL Design Standards throughout. 2. Document the design procedure and decisions on the forms found in Appendix A. To summarize, the following design elements need to be documented: a. Calculations, such as drainage calcs, structural calcs, lighting calcs, capacity analyses, b. Design criteria such as design speed(s), clear zone widths, c. Variances from the agreed-upon design standards, with justifications, d. Design assumptions, when data is not available, and e. Preliminary quantities, cost estimate, and estimate of (construction) time, if required at this stage. 3. Proactively get calculations, assumptions, quantities and estimates verified. Have all drawings checked. Designers need to initial and date the Appendix A forms. Checkers should return any incomplete or inaccurate work to the designer for revision or correction, and initials and dates each form when the calculations are considered complete and accurate.
2 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
The PM and/or Project QA/QC Manager will review the preliminary drawings using the checklist from Appendix B (not included in this proposal), and will also follow these procedures: 1. Maintain the project Correspondence folder. All letters, e-mails and records of phone conversations with the client and with third-party “stakeholders”, when their expressed needs, requirements, constraints, schedule difficulties, etc. influence the design, should be copied to a QA/QC Correspondence folder or flagged in the project folder, to ensure these matters are acted upon. 2. Confirm that calculations are checked per these procedures. 3. Confirm that the proper design standards and criteria have been followed. 4. Confirm that the design methods used, such as the chosen drainage design software, are appropriate to the project and are yielding “common sense” answers. 5. Confirm that any Phase I R.O.W. acquisitions are adequate and necessary. 6. If required due to the complexity or unusual nature of a project feature, arrange an independent review of constructability, materials, methods, and potential alternatives. As appropriate, perform a value analysis and seek client input and approval of the selected solution. 7. Confirm that the product being developed is consistent with previous work done for that client, and with the agreed contract scope, in terms of presentation, sheet order and layout, and level of detail. 8. Sometimes separate submittals are made to the client during the design phase, in support of the overall design. These may include geotechnical reports, survey plats, technical memorandums, or specialized engineering studies. Each of these needs to be developed, documented and verified using the above QA/QC procedures.
PRE-FINAL DESIGN STAGE:
Before work on this stage can begin in earnest, the Project Manager (PM) will communicate the following to the design staff: 1. Review comments from the client and third-party reviewers (if any) need to be addressed by concurring and making the indicated change, or by declining to make the requested change. The PM will decide whether to study all review comments and indicate the changes needed, or to assign initial study of the review comments to the designers. Either way, the disposition of each major comment (whether to agree or argue against making the change) must be decided before drawing development continues. 2. In-house review comments, generated by the PM, the Project QA/QC Manager, and/or other senior staff, will be incorporated in the developing plans, specs and estimates. The PM will decide whether to give the Preliminary QA/QC review checklist from
3 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
Appendix B (not included in this proposal) to the designers for correction, or whether to mark up a set of preliminary drawings.
Design staff will work on the Pre-Final deliverables as outlined below: 1. Continue to refer to the CBBEL Design Standards throughout. 2. Continue to document the design procedure and decisions on the Appendix A forms (not included in this proposal), including all calculations, additional design criteria used, additional variances from the design standards, and additional design assumptions. 3. Develop the pre-final quantity calculations, cost estimate, and estimate of time, using the Appendix A forms (not included in this proposal). 4. Continue to proactively get calculations, assumptions, quantities and estimates verified and have all drawings checked. 5. Fully annotate the drawings, using the pay item names identified by the PM as much as possible.
The PM and/or Project QA/QC Manager will review the pre-final drawings, and will review the developing Special Provisions, using the checklist from Appendix C (not included in this proposal) and the following procedures: 1. Ensure the plans are developed to the pre-final level of completeness, typically 95%. The QA/QC Manager will be responsible for determining that other CBBEL departments (such as survey, lighting design, etc.) and our subconsultants have implemented similar QA/QC procedures while preparing their contributions to the overall design. 2. Assemble the Summary of Quantities and verify pay items used on the plans. Check which items will require Special Provisions and substitute “standard” items wherever feasible. 3. Develop the Pre-final Special Provisions and the project Specifications. As applicable, prepare the Contractor proposal booklet. 4. Secure all permits that must be acquired during the design process from governing agencies. Complete the permit applications and other tasks that were started during Phase I, such as highway plats. 5. Continue to maintain the project Correspondence folder, and separate or flag all correspondence with the client or third parties that impacts design, permits, schedule constraints, etc. Ensure these matters get resolved, or the unchangeable constraints are properly incorporated in the plans, noted in the specifications, or both. 6. Continue checking that drawings and calculations are verified at the designer level. The QA/QC Manager will study the top 15 or 20 items (on the basis of total cost to the project) to ensure that these were correctly calculated. 7. Continue checking that the proper design standards and criteria are followed.
4 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
8. Continue checking the designers’ methods for appropriate use on this project, and double check that the results seem to make sense. 9. The QA/QC Manager will perform a constructability review to identify conflicts between existing improvements to remain, and the proposed construction. The review will evaluate whether the proposed traffic staging is efficient and provides sufficient working room to the Contractor; if the traffic stages roughly correspond to the Estimate of Time and comprise a logical sequence of Contractor operations, and if changes may be necessary to the staging to yield a workable sequence of operations. 10. Continue comparing the deliverables versus the agreed scope and our previous work for that client to ensure that the final product is consistent with CBBEL’s standard of quality and with the client’s expectations and needs.
FINAL SUBMITTAL OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATES:
Typically this stage of the work is allotted about two weeks between the time the Project Manager receives client comments on the Pre-Final submittal, and the scheduled date for submittal of 100% complete plan mylars, specifications, and estimates. It is not appropriate to conduct constructability reviews or determine appropriate unit prices for the Engineer’s Estimate only at this stage; unless the comments require such sweeping plan changes that these issues need to be revisited, these matters should have been settled by the time of the Pre-Final Submittal. During the Final stage, the Project Manager (PM) is responsible for the following steps: 1. Assemble and review client comments and any third-party reviewers’ comments. Determine whether the indicated changes should be made, or declined. It is strongly recommended that the PM discuss all requests for changes with the originator of each comment, in order to avoid potential delays to the project that may result from reliance on correspondence. Furthermore, outside agency comments that the PM feels should be disputed, should be discussed with the client before a formal disposition is prepared. The client may elect to incorporate small, low-cost changes into the work rather than risk having a permit application rejected or delayed, for example. 2. Once the disposition of each Pre-Final review comment has been decided, the PM will communicate the agreed changes to the design staff, who will then be responsible for implementing the changes on the contract documents. As this stage proceeds, the PM will prepare written comment dispositions, if required by the client, and will monitor the quality and correctness of the altered drawings and documents.
During the Final stage, the Project QA/QC Manager is responsible for the following: 1. Retire old markups to the Project QA/QC Folder as appropriate, when new plots or printouts are made and back checked. 2. Ensure that final changes continue to be made in accordance with the client’s and CBBEL’s design criteria, design standards, and drafting standards.
5 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
3. Perform a separate evaluation of the completed contract documents before final printing, comparing the product against the changes that were agreed to with the client. Review the written comment disposition, if one is required, to ensure that all issues raised by the Pre-Final comments have been addressed.

Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade TAB 5 PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE
INTRODUCTION
We understand that the Village wants to modify the existing traffic signal installation on Schaumburg Road at Salem Drive for the purposes of adding northbound and southbound left turn phases. Schaumburg Road is under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Highway Department (CCHD) while Salem Drive is under the jurisdiction of the Village.
The north and south approaches of Salem Drive already include separate left turn lanes. Although the RFP noted that widening and/or resurfacing may be necessary, based on our field review, the project should be able to be completed without this work. In addition, an IDS may not be required by CCHD since the proposed work does not involve a change in lane usage or geometric modifications.
PROJECT APPROACH
The Village’s goals and objectives will be realized by utilizing CBBEL’s proven design approach. This design approach is founded on a principle of innovative thinking, design optimization, and day-to-day proactive project development procedures. This approach allows staff members the flexibility to explore new and creative ideas.
This technical approach is comprised of:
. Delivering exceptional client service through a focused and responsive approach from the senior management level down through all designated staff levels.
. Developing a viable and cost-effective final design to ensure a biddable, permitable, and constructible project through a well planned, detail-oriented design approach that anticipates critical design, permitting, and construction issues.
. Maintaining project issue documentation and following QA/QC procedures throughout project involvement.
PROJECT CHALLENGES
A primary focus of the project team will be early coordination with the Village and CCHD with respect to project goals, expectations and design criteria. As noted earlier, revising the traffic signal phasing to provide protected/permitted left turn phasing for the north and south approaches of Salem Drive should not necessitate the need to widen Salem Drive. In addition, the existing pavement appears to be in fair condition based on visual inspection of the intersection. Therefore, developing a consensus for the scope of the improvements that focuses on the proposed traffic signal phasing revisions will allow the project to proceed with the design in an efficient manner.
1 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE
CCHD will require a permit to be issued for the proposed traffic signal improvements. Early coordination will include reviewing the permit application with the CCHD’s permit department and identifying all costs associated with obtaining the permit.
In terms of traffic signal design criteria, CCHD typically follows IDOT traffic signal design guidelines. CBBEL is well versed in the signal design guidelines and specifications through our ongoing traffic signal design projects within District 1. In addition, we developed the most recent traffic signal design guidelines and traffic signal specifications for IDOT. The application of the design guidelines coupled with the latest MUTCD requirements will need to be reviewed in terms of head placements, mast arm lengths and foundations sizes, pedestrian facilities and ADA compliance. In addition, the opportunity to reuse certain existing equipment (emergency vehicle preemption, traffic signal controller, etc.) will be reviewed with the Village and CCHD.
2 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Project Coordination and Data Collection: CBBEL will attend a kick off meeting with Village staff to discuss the goals and objectives of the project and to refine the scope. CBBEL will collect, examine, review and evaluate data to be utilized for the preparation of the traffic signal modernization plans. This data will include the following:
. Village Utility Atlases. . Existing Roadway Plans. . Existing Traffic Counts and Accident Data . Existing Traffic Signal Installation Plans from CCHD. . Adjacent Subdivision Plats and any other available information to identify existing right- of-way. . Information on benchmarks to be utilized for vertical control for the project. . Other County and Village plans and maps.
This information will be supplemented by existing electronic plan information CBBEL has on file for the intersection from the previous traffic signal design projects we have performed for the Village and CCHD.
Task 2 – Intersection Design Study (IDS) – Salem Drive and Schaumburg Road: If required by CCHD, we will prepare an IDS reflecting the proposed traffic signal phasing improvements. The IDS will be prepared based on the data collected in Task 1.
The IDS will be prepared at a scale of 1”=50’ and will include the following:
a. Intersection capacity analyses for a.m. and p.m. peak hour design year traffic volumes. b. Existing and projected peak hour volumes. c. Preliminary intersection geometry. d. Signal layout. e. Design and general notes.
The IDS will be submitted to the Village and CCHD for review. Any review comments by the Village or CCHD will be incorporated into the final IDS and submitted for final approval.
Task 2.1 – Coordination with Village and CCHD: We will meet with representatives from the Village and CCHD to review the IDS. We will attend one meeting for this task.
Task 3 – Utility Coordination: Upon notice to proceed, CBBEL will send a location map to all known utility companies requesting their atlases or plans of their facilities within the project limits. CBBEL will add the received information to the existing conditions plan and send it back to the utility companies for verification. CBBEL will then send preliminary plans with potential conflicts identified, and will set up meetings to discuss necessary utility relocations or plan adjustments.
3 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE
Task 4 – Traffic Signal Modernization Plans: Based on CBBEL’s experience with CCHD in projects involving traffic signal improvements, it is anticipated that CCHD will require complete modernization (replacement) of the existing traffic signal installation as part of the proposed traffic signal phasing revisions. In addition, the latest Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requires the use of pedestrian countdown signals and advocates a signal head per lane design. The traffic signal modernization will be coordinated with CCHD and will be designed to meet the applicable Village and CCHD requirements.
Task 4.1 – Traffic Signal Modernization Plans: CBBEL will collect traffic signal plans from CCHD and conduct a field reconnaissance of the intersection to verify existing conditions of the traffic signal equipment. We will then proceed with the development of traffic signal modernization plans using the existing signal plans and other gathered data. The traffic signal modernization plans will be developed based on CCHD standards current at the time said plans are prepared.
The traffic signal plans will include the following:
a. Temporary signal and removal plans b. Preliminary, pre-final and final traffic signal modernization plans c. Cable plan and schedule of quantities d. Phase designation diagram and emergency vehicle preemption sequence e. Interconnect plan f. Technical specifications employing CCHD special provisions to the extent that they apply will be assembled
An engineer's opinion of probable construction cost will be prepared for the traffic signal modernization based on the final plans.
Task 5 – Agency Coordination and Meetings: CBBEL will meet with representatives from the Village and CCHD to review and determine specific design criteria required for the intersection. In addition, we will review with the Village potential utility conflicts and design review comments. As part of this task we will facilitate meetings with the Village and CCHD to review the various design elements of the intersection improvements and to address design comments. We have budgeted a total of two meetings for this task.
Task 6 – Public Involvement: This task will focus on communicating with the local residents regarding the project. CBBEL will provide exhibits showing the proposed improvements. It is anticipated that one informational meeting will be conducted to allow the general public an opportunity to review and discuss the scope of improvements with CBBEL and Village staff.
Task 7 – QA/QC: CBBEL’s QA/QC Plan will be a continuous effort throughout the project design. As described in more detail in TAB 3, CBBEL will follow the procedures outlined in their Design Department’s QA/QC Manual.
4 Salem Drive at Schaumburg Road Signal Upgrade PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE
Task 8 – Final Contract Documents and Cost Estimate: Upon meeting with the Village staff and CCHD to review their comments on the preliminary submittal, CBBEL will revise and finalize the contract documents and cost estimate. During this task the exact letting date will be determined and an estimated construction schedule will be provided.
Task 9 – Bidding Documents and Final Cost Estimate: CBBEL will make the final revisions to the pre-final submittal based on the Village’s and the County’s final review comments. The requested number of copies of plans and specifications will be submitted to the Village. A final estimate of cost and estimate of required working days will also be submitted. In addition to printed copies, we will provide the plans, specifications and estimate to the Village in electronic format. CBBEL will make application and obtain all required permits.
Supplemental Services
As noted earlier it is not anticipated that roadway improvements and related right-of-way acquisition services will be required. However, we have prepared a scope of work for these tasks. These would be considered supplemental services and the costs would be negotiated with the Village once the extent of the improvements are clearly defined.
Task 1 – Topographic Survey: The survey will be used as a base map for design purposes and will include are the following survey tasks:
1. Horizontal Control: Utilizing state plane coordinates (NAD ’83, Illinois East Zone, 1997 Adjustment); CBBEL will establish recoverable primary control. 2. Vertical Control: Establish site benchmarks for construction purposes, tied to the NAVD 88 Vertical Datum. A level circuit will be run throughout the project, establishing benchmarks and assigning a vertical datum on the horizontal control points. 3. Research at the Lake County Recorder’s Office. 4. Field recon and survey to locate existing monumentation and boundary evidence. 5. Analyze Record and Field Data necessary to compute approximate Right-of-Way throughout project limits. 6. Spot elevations and cross sections at 50’ (ft) stations. 7. All trees of 6 inch caliper or greater to be surveyed. 8. All above ground utilities including, but not limited to: water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, telephone, electric, cable and gas, etc. Identify type, and rim elevations (no inverts will be measured).

Office calculations and plotting of field and record data. 11. Office contouring of field data and one foot contour intervals. 12. Drafting of an Existing Conditions Plan at a scale of 1”=20’.
Task 2 – Geotechnical Investigation: CBBEL will subcontract this work to Testing Services Corporation (TSC). The geotechnical report will be prepared based upon the scope of and limits of the roadway improvements as negotiated with the Village. The report will be prepared in accordance with Village and CCHD requirements.
Task 3 – Contract Documents and Cost Estimate: On the basis of the approved IDS and CBBEL’s design development effort, CBBEL will prepare contract documents consisting of plans, specifications, estimate of time, status of utilities to be adjusted and an estimate of construction cost. The plans will be prepared in accordance with Village and County design criteria. The plans will include the following sheets:

Task 4 – Right-of-Way Documents and Coordination: Upon confirming the required right-of- way and easements, CBBEL will prepare plats and legal descriptions for the affected parcel(s). A separate plat of survey will be prepared for each parcel and each plat of survey will be referenced to an overall plat of highways. The centerline alignment and existing right-of-way previously established will be the basis for the development of the plats and legal descriptions.
Right-of-way acquisition shall be in accordance with Titles II and III of the “Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970” (Public Law 91-646) and any subsequent amendments. Transaction Screens in accordance with ASTM E 1528 will be prepared for each parcel, and if necessary, an environmental site assessment in accordance with ASTM E 1527 will be prepared.
CBBEL will hire Santacruz Associates to perform appraisals, review appraisals, title reports, insurance and handle the negotiations for the acquisition of right-of-way or easements. Estimated cost per parcel is $8,000.00.
