B. Approach to Scope of Services Project Understanding and Approach Questa Engineering is pleased to present this proposal to provide design services for the Pillar Point RV Park Public Restroom and Green Space Design Project. We have teamed with Ware Associates to provide architectural design for the restroom, Zeiger Engineers for electrical engineering, and mack5 for cost estimating services. This Project will construct a new public restroom facility adjacent to the Pillar Point RV Park to include three ADA-accessible bathroom stalls, an outdoor shower, drinking fountains, seating areas, and informational/educational signage. The public parking area will be reconfigured to accommodate at least eight ADA-compliant parking spaces, provide an ADA-compliant pathway leading to the restroom and re-located/redesigned Coastal Trail, accommodating a 200-foot segment of Trail to address sea cliff retreat and provide a landscape buffer area. We understand that the Project is widely supported by the community to improve recreation and public beach access along Half Moon Bay’s spectacular shoreline. A goal of the Project is to seamlessly implement the Plan within the City’s Coastal Development Permit regulatory framework. To accomplish this, we have assembled a talented team that has the experience, creativity, commitment and resolve to ensure a successful result. Our work entails providing all site planning/landscape architecture, architecture, civil and electrical engineering, geological, and permitting services for the Project in a collaborative fashion, in addition to bidding and construction support, and grant funding application. Our interdisciplinary team has worked together on other similar projects and can assure the City and Harbor District of an integrated and streamlined approach. The provision of improved recreation opportunities, public access, and environmental protection along the shoreline is an important goal of the City of Half Moon Bay, the Harbor District, and the surrounding community. We will achieve this by compiling and interpreting existing environmental and coastal information as a basis for decision-making and develop a plan that recognizes the unique ecological integrity and interconnectivity of the area. The implementation of sensitive resource-based and community supported design fits perfectly with our personal and professional interests. We are dedicated to balancing recreational improvements with environmental protection/enhancement to create opportunities for area residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors, and become educated in the importance of environmental protection in a vital ecosystem. We have been involved with the enhancement and restoration of waterfront lands within the greater Bay Area for many years, and regard this involvement as among the most important projects and highest priorities of our careers. Our approach to completing this project includes:

Questa Engineering Corporation | 8 | October 7, 2019 Proposal | Pillar Point RV Park Public Restroom and Green Space Design
addition, we will verify compliance with permit conditions, including erosion control and SWPPP compliance. We anticipate maintaining at least a twice weekly interaction with the Contractor and Construction Manager and will be fully aware of all construction activities with periodic unannounced observations of all areas related to the project. These types of projects usually also need close supervision at key points of construction. Formal weekly construction meetings (with agenda, minutes, etc.) are also planned, along with bi-monthly site inspections. We suggest following the Caltrans Local Assistance Program Manual (LAPM) in completing the construction documentation and management. This includes completion of a daily log and field notes, procedures for reviewing and approving/recommending approval of submittals, shop drawings, and change orders or material quantity requests, and other procedures such as time of work delays for rain or other e vents. Project Engineer and Construction Manager Carl Nelson, PE, has extensive training and experience in LAPM and will be a valuable resource in completing this aspect of the project. As needed, Questa will prepare additional drawings and change order supporting documents. Any such additional drawings could potentially constitute extra work; so prior approval from Harbor District/City staff would be required.

C. Qualifications and Experience Firm Overviews Questa Engineering Corporation Questa is a small civil, environmental, and water resources engineering and landscape architecture firm with specialized expertise in trail and open space park planning and design, founded in 1982 and based in Pt. Richmond. Our staff of approximately 20 includes professionals registered in civil engineering, engineering geology, and landscape architecture, as well as hydrologists, geomorphologists, planners, environmental scientists, and technical specialists with diverse project experience throughout California, including several projects in San Mateo County. Open Space Park and Trail Planning and Design: Questa provides complete services in planning and engineering aspects of recreational park and trail projects, from preliminary engineering investigations/feasibility studies and constraints analysis, development of concept plans, CEQA environmental analysis and regulatory permitting, through final plans and design drawings, bid assistance, and supervision of implementation and construction. We place a strong emphasis on incorporating design elements into our public access projects to make projects cost-effective, minimize engineering and design conflicts and to minimize wildlife disturbance. This includes locating facilities in areas that will avoid sensitive resources, using materials that will allow cost-effective maintenance, incorporating buffers and overlooks to improve visitor experience and minimize disturbance to neighbors, providing interpretive opportunities to guide appropriate visitor behavior, and using materials that fit the surroundings, such as recycled wood, logs and composite, boulders, and native plantings, as well as unique bridge and boardwalk designs for sensitive wetlands and riparian areas. We have completed numerous projects integrating public access with agency coordination, and public involvement in planning, permitting, and environmental review. Our projects have included restrooms, parking and visitor service facilities, open space preservation, campgrounds, boardwalks, overlooks, benches, site furnishings, landscaping, environmental education and interpretive facilities, outdoor classrooms, fishing piers, signs, in addition to design of onsite wastewater systems and water systems, as well as waterway/watershed restoration, enhancement and management. Engineering Plans, Specifications and Cost Estimates: We routinely complete Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates (PS&Es) for our park and trail projects. We often coordinate our engineering planning and design work with local agencies and districts, and have prepared many PS&Es for city and county public works/engineering departments following their Standard Plans and Specifications, as well as standards employed by Caltrans. We have amassed a substantial library of typical construction details, construction specifications, and design concepts. This library, together with our field construction expertise, allows for a streamlined design and process. We can quickly develop conceptual designs and cost estimates. Our designs and drawings are continually evolving based on our project construction experience. Virtually all of Questa’s planning and engineering design projects involve the preparation of an Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs. We pride ourselves on the fact that our cost estimates prepared at the feasibility level are solid and accurate. We have completed a large number of trail projects recently where final construction costs were within 10 to 15% of our feasibility cost projections. This is important, as grant funding applications and programming costs are often based on cost projections developed at the feasibility/preliminary engineering stage.

Powell (BioMaAs) DATES: 2004-2009 (Feasibility Study) COSTS: $50,000 fees (Feasibility Study) 2015– present (PS&E) $204,000 fees (PS&E) The State Coastal Conservancy retained Questa in 2004 to identify a preferred route for a pedestrian trail linking the Devil’s Slide Tunnel area on Highway 1 near Pacifica with existing trails south of Green Valley within Montara State Beach Park in northern San Mateo County. The project, initially completed in 2006, was updated in 2009 and proceeded to final design drawings in 2017, under contract with San Mateo County Parks. The planned trailhead facilities, which include parking areas and a recreational trail, will provide an important future link in the California Coastal Trail. Because of the steep slopes involved, along with a crossing of Green Valley Creek, trail construction will need a number of switchbacks, some with retaining walls, along with pedestrian bridges and boardwalks. The work included review and analysis of site biology, topography, and geotechnical issues and constraints, the identified permit requirements and regulatory permit applications and negotiations.

Lawson’s Landing at Dillon Beach Master Plan
CLIENT: Lawson’s Landing CONTACT: Will Vogler, Owner (707) 878-2443 KEY STAFF: N. Hantzsche, PE, C. Nelson, PE, M. Woll Lawson’s Landing development at Dillon Beach, Sonoma County Coast, a mixture of residential, recreational, campground, agricultural and sand mining activities, had been operating without proper land use approvals and permits for many years. In an effort to bring the existing facilities and operations into compliance with Marin County and Water Quality Control Board standards, Questa was retained to develop a Wastewater Facilities Master Plan and Construction Plan. The Master Plan was completed and focused on developing a system that takes into account the water quality effects from disposal into the rapidly permeable dune sands balanced against costs and the potential for beneficial use of the wastewater. Usage and wastewater flow fluctuate widely from winter to summer, with peak day camping of more than 1,000 people. Preliminary screening reduced the options to a STEP collection system and recirculating sand filter, followed by drip irrigation and/or leachfield-absorption beds for either: (a) wetlands enhancement; (b) dune stabilization; or (c) managed pasture. After several years of community and environmental review, the pasture option was selected and Questa is in the process of developing the engineering designs for agency review and approval.

A goal of the land use planning effort was to develop a vision for phased implementation of project elements to balance resource protection, enhancement of sensitive habitat and provide recreation opportunities. The Plan documented existing conditions, including evaluation of issues related to phased transition of existing low income housing stock, and gateway elements befitting the City’s entry. Key elements of the Master Plan include sustainability, utilizing low impact design techniques and recycled materials, habitat protection, restoration and enhancement, recognizing the critical habitat that exists within the Laguna de Santa Rosa, and phased implementation that respects current land use but offers a vision for future land use. Phase 1 of the project, Tomodachi Park, was completed in 2014 and is situated in a grove of old growth native riparian trees, some of which had been impacted by previous site use activities. Work included development of native plant restoration plans and invasive species eradication. The project includes opportunities for environmental education, habitat restoration, passive park activities, and trail and path connections to the area’s trail system. The Master Plan guides implementation for a range of uses, locations, access and orientation. Trails, picnic areas, parking and site infrastructure was appropriately sited to minimize flood impacts and wetlands/wildlife conflicts, and to facilitate efficient use and management of the site. Barrier- free circulation is a key component, as well as safe ingress/egress to the site.Following completion of the Master Plan, Questa developed the implementation civil engineering and landscape architecture construction drawings and provided design and construction management assistance.

Principal-Level Project Management Approach: Jeffrey H. Peters will be the Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager. The Questa team has provided the project leadership needed to focus the energies of project stakeholders, reach consensus decisions, crystallize stakeholders’ desires, prepare design plans and construction documents, and see projects through to final construction completion on numerous similar projects. Our leadership approach is founded on the following principles and practices. We use a principal-level project management approach. With over 35 years of experience, Mr. Peters understand the demands on the staff’s and sub-consultants’ time, and knows how to make effective and efficient progress throughout the project’s phases. As a small firm, we carefully control our workload so that senior personnel can be directly involved. Unlike medium or large firms, our principals have the luxury of being able to devote most of their time to projects, rather than attending to all the administrative, human resources, and marketing tasks involved in running a sizable practice. Our clients appreciate this hands-on approach because they receive the benefit of an experienced professional who will anticipate problems, maintain quality, make very efficient use of his time, and offer both realism and creativity in the design process. The crucial element for managing a successful project team is identifying specific work scopes for each study team member, defining the budget for each task, establishing the schedule for discrete deliverables, and ensuring clear communication. To achieve these goals, Mr. Peters will fine-tune the scope of work after an initial kick-off meeting with the Harbor District and City of Half Moon Bay and distribute these scopes to each study-team member with assigned budgets, deadlines and deliverables.
Questa Engineering Corporation | 45 | October 7, 2019 Proposal | Pillar Point RV Park Public Restroom and Green Space Design
Controlling Cost and Schedule: Project scheduling and time management will employ a critical flow path methodology. For small projects we usually create a custom schedule with milestones, key meeting dates, and deliverables using an Excel template. For larger, more complicated projects, including those that have critical path items, or involve grant, permit or other deadlines for design deliverables or construction, wet typically utilize Microsoft Project. Project milestones and key deliverables will be identified at the outset of each assignment and a detailed schedule developed and agreed upon. This will be entered into a Project Manager PC-based management system, which provides reports of labor use by work task and allows comparison of work completion (%) with project estimates. The Project Manager will periodically check in with the key team members to assess the progress on specific tasks, monitor work progress, answer questions, provide technical direction, and ensure that the project stays on schedule and within the contract budget. Typically, bi-weekly meetings are held with the Team to review progress and assess schedule and labor allocation according to the project critical path flow chart. The Questa Project Manager will also chair periodic District meetings for larger projects. Any issues/problems that arise from the meetings will be addressed (along with proposed solutions) during City meetings, telephone conversations, progress reports, and follow-up discussions, as needed. Recommendations for revision of scope, study or design methodology, meetings, and schedule will be reviewed directly with the District. Revisions to the project schedule and task/sub-task budget shits and adjustments will be made as needed with District approval. While we utilize this system to assist in project management, in reality it is the dedication and experience of the overall Team Project Manager (in consultation with the client) to stay on top of the project and make necessary shifts in allocations of staff time and budget to keep the project on schedule and within budget.
E. Financial Stability Questa was incorporated as a California Corporation in 1983 and typically has a staff of 20-25 civil, environmental, and geotechnical engineers, hydrologists, biologists, landscape architects and environmental planners. Questa is managed by four principals who have been with the firm between 27 and 35 years, and some senior staff has been with the firm for 25 years. Layoffs have been extremely rare and our staff turnover rate is low. The firm is considered financially very stable and has successfully weathered several recessions, including the Great Recession of 2008-2009. There have been no bankruptcies, or historical or pending lawsuits that threaten our financial stability. Questa is conservatively managed and well run, with a long history of reasonable profitability. We also have a good credit rating and line of credit to ensure long-term stability, with no current outstanding loan or debt.
