Subject: Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Civil Engineering Design Services
(Specification No. 5009.2024.CE)
Dear Ms. Kacsinta,
The City of San Luis Obispo (City) has many important capital improvement projects planned for the next four fiscal
years that will improve the community. We have assembled a strong team of qualified individuals who will be able to
address immediate and long-term civil engineering design needs related to City capital projects. Our company,
project team, and designated project managers have extensive experience working for cities and special districts for
engineering design and believe this experience has prepared us for the full range of assignments in which the City
may choose. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) also has regional and national experts in most areas of
engineering. Please consider the following benefits our team offers:
History of Successfully Partnering with the City Providing Depth of Experience, Knowledge of Local
Infrastructure, and Familiarity with City Standards and Requirements: AECOM has a long history of
working with the City on capital improvement projects, the most recent of which was the Calle Joaquin Sewer
Lift Station. We know your standards, procedures, operational needs, and staff which allows us complete task
orders efficiently.
In-House Technical Expertise and Depth of Resources to Meet All Contract Needs Available to the
Project: AECOM has the technical expertise and capacity to provide all services necessary for this work. With
AECOM, resources are available any time to support projects when needed. Please refer to Section 4 of this
Statement of Qualifications. It is our pledge to submit a proposal within five (5) working days of receiving an
RFP from the City and complete each project in a timely manner.
Experience with Federally Funded Projects: We have extensive experience with the Caltrans Local
Assistance Procedures Manual and the reporting forms required. That experience also includes working with
Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. As an example, we have done quite a few federally funded
projects for City of Tehachapi that used this manual.
Our Focus is Pro-Active: We can respond on short notice to get projects completed. Our Project Director,
Daniel Cronquist, PE, PLS, will be the primary point of contact for the City.
ISO 9001 Certification: AECOM has established a Quality Management System that covers all aspects of
project delivery. This system is built around the project management process where quality is designed into the

3. Work Program
A. APPROACH TO WORKING WITH
CITY STAFF
We understand that each task order the City issues is
time sensitive. A detailed schedule will be developed
with the City to serve as the framework upon which
each task order’s budget, staffing, and decision
making will be based.
For all tasks assigned under this contract, we will
prepare a schedule in Microsoft Project ® (or other
appropriate software) covering the work items
required. We will use that document to control the
task order and communicate with the City on a regular
basis. The schedule will be maintained as a living
document throughout the project. We will conduct
regularly scheduled project team meetings to
coordinate with the City and hold team members
accountable. Use of this method has been very
effective in keeping task orders on track.
Meeting the schedule depends on several factors, but
primarily on how the task order is planned from the
beginning. Once established, the schedule will allow
tracking of task completion against staff hours and
costs. Project milestones will be regularly assessed
against the schedule baseline. Our assigned project
managers will ascertain accurate schedule status
while working with the project team. If the schedule
begins to slip, corrective action will be taken by
adding staff or reassigning work to enhance
production. This information will be reflected in regular
status reports.
Key decisions will be proactively brought to the City to
get concurrence early in the design process. We
understand City staff have busy schedules, and we
will work independently toward an agreed-to objective
in a timely manner.
Our typical reporting effort will include: (1) regular
meetings as identified in the scope followed by
formalized meeting minutes; and (2) weekly informal
communications via office telephone, cell phone, and
email. AECOM has adopted Microsoft (MS) Teams as
its primary collaboration tool.
Our internal and client-facing work is now coordinated
and conducted through MS Teams, with separate
Team sites set up for each project, and sub-sites
created for specific deliverables, design disciplines,
and other shared project information. Clients and
other stakeholders have full access to the project
sites, so that all project team members have
continuous, real-time updates.
Key MS Teams functions include:
VIRTUAL TEAM MEETINGS: Video and audio
meeting options allow the team to stay
connected, even for one-on-one calls. Online
whiteboards, meeting-specific group chats, and
audio recording capabilities enables effective,
archived discussions.
TEAM CHAT: The Chat function fosters real-time,
instantaneous interaction among team members,
and provides a record of discussions for future
reference.
VIRTUAL FILES: Based on a SharePoint
platform, MS Teams offers a central location
where the project can be stored, shared and
updated as needed. Project deliverables—
memos, plan documents, design criteria,
drawings, specifications, draft reports— are
immediately available for review and input. This
minimizes printing, production, distribution time
and cost, and can facilitate decision-making.
SHARED CALENDAR: All calendar
appointments are made available to the full
project team, with updates immediately shared
with all members.
Day-to-day data collaboration with City staff will be
continuous until the task order is closed out. Please
note that our communication protocol can and has
been adjusted to meet the preferences of the
individual assigned by the City to oversee our work.
We have an excellent record of meeting established
schedules, and our success is a direct result of the
documentation and monitoring that is an integral part
of AECOM’s project management and quality control
program.
“I get a response when I call for anything. My work is
simpler since I have AECOM to lean on.”
~ Ronner Del Castillo, City of Thousand Oaks
Our methodology is to provide all project deliverables
within the allocated schedule and project budget. To
accomplish this, we propose to work closely with the
City in a partnering method during the life of each
assigned project. Our teamwork approach to problem
solving brings together specialists in a variety of
On-Call Civil Engineering Design Services
Prepared for: City of San Luis Obispo AECOM
22
disciplines for maximum flexibility and
responsiveness.
Inherent in our team’s approach to completing your
project within budget and schedule are the following
proven concepts:
Develop a detailed project scope.
Control schedule with Microsoft Project or other
scheduling software. Maintain a live document
and communicate schedule frequently with the
team.
Utilize a small but efficient team of highly
qualified engineers with extensive experience on
similar projects.
Establish and maintain frequent, effective,
communication with City staff as part of tight
project control.
Listen attentively to the City to ensure we are
responding to the City’s needs and concerns.
Practice proactive, vigorous, solicitation of the
City’s input where key information or pivotal
decisions are required in order to achieve project
milestones.
Make fullest use of pertinent, previously
developed information (e.g., geotechnical
reports) in order to minimize the design period
and double check newly developed data.
Organize project effort to undertake multiple
tasks concurrently and at the earliest practical
times to accomplish timely delivery of critical
path items and maintain overall schedule
compliance.
Exercise tight, focused project control through
close supervision of time devoted to each task to
avoid tangents, dead-ends, and otherwise
unfruitful efforts.
The following Scope of Services, taken from a
recently completed wastewater project, shows the
level of detail that AECOM builds into projects from
the start. Well organized tasks ranging from pre-
design steps, to bidding and construction phase
services are broken down into measurable elements
so that timeframes and deliverables can be defined.
With sufficient detail provided on the front end, both
the City and AECOM know what to expect regarding
milestones, deliverables, and review periods. As new
information is developed, the scope of work is tailored
to eliminate waste and create opportunities.
“Quality work, attentive to client needs, problem-
solving mindset.”
~ Aaron McWilliams, City of Bakersfield
Example Project Approach #1
Trash Capture Implementation Plan
The California State Water Resources Control Board
adopted Section 13383 “Order to Submit Method to
Comply with Statewide Trash Provisions”. The Trash
Order required that MS4s prepare a Trash Capture
Implementation Plan that detailed how to be in
compliance with the regulation requiring to remove
trash >5 mm in diameter from storm water.
This plan was due to the State in December and
AECOM was authorized to begin in November. To
achieve this tight timeline, AECOM implemented the
following steps.
Step 1 – Understanding and
Investigation
Because of the time constraints, it was important to
utilize the right people with relevant experience. Mark
Williams in our San Diego office is a storm water
quality expert who recently completed a Trash
Capture Implementation Plan for the City of Vista.
Dan Cronquist and Monique Roberts in our
Bakersfield office had significant experience with the
client’s storm drain system and the receiving waters.
This team of regional experts and local experience
helped us to research the project needs quickly.
Step 2 – Field Work
The state regulations required that a baseline amount
of trash be quantified. We developed an on-land
visual trash assessment protocol and evaluated the
priority land use areas. The protocol was designed to
be conducted rapidly and inexpensively.
Step 3 – Report Preparation
The report found that 80% of the client’s incorporated
area is tributary to retention basins and thus exempt
from the Trash Order. For the 20% that is tributary to
the receiving waters, non-structural and structural
control measures were developed to meet the state’s
regulations without committing the client to expensive
projects.
Project Approach #2
V Street Storm Drain Replacement
V Street in downtown Bakersfield has experienced
flooding for years with every rain event due to
undersized existing drainage facilities and tailwater
conditions at the outfall. The solution, which AECOM
evaluated as part of the Downtown Master Storm
On-Call Civil Engineering Design Services
Prepared for: City of San Luis Obispo AECOM
23
Drain Study, was to remove the existing 18-inch RCP,
install a 30-inch RCP, and construct a new detention
basin. We used the following approach in executing
this work.
Step 1 – Preliminary Phase
AECOM coordinated with utility owners and reviewed
record drawings to establish the location of existing
utilities. Concurrently, our subconsultant prepared a
topographic survey. They also filed a Record of
Survey as trenching for the storm drain pipeline
excavated the street monuments. These monuments
were re-set at the original locations after the pipeline
was constructed.
This phase included detailed hydrologic and hydraulic
calculations on the proposed improvements. During
review of the calculations, the City of Bakersfield
decided to construct a retention basin instead of
detention to eliminate the existing outfall.
Step 2 – Design Phase
Our team prepared plans, specifications, and cost
estimates at the 60%, 90%, and 100% levels of
completion. Complicating the design was a 48-inch
diameter jack and bore under BNSF Railway tracks
and within a Caltrans easement. AECOM assisted the
City in obtaining the required permits with these
agencies.
Step 3 – Bid Phase
During public bidding, AECOM responded to bidder
RFIs and prepared addenda.
Step 4 – Construction Phase
During construction, the City provided construction
management and inspection. AECOM provided
engineering services including responding to
contractor RFIs, reviewing submittals and shop
drawings, and meeting with the construction team as
issues were discovered in the field. When a previously
unmapped underground AT&T facility was discovered
during construction, AECOM re-designed a portion of
the pipeline to successfully get the project completed.
B. SERVICES ANTICIPATED TO BE
PROVIDED BY CITY

projects, we anticipate the City will provide the
following services.
1. Prepare environmental documentation and
technical studies (e.g. biological and cultural
field studies).

Selected project experience
Project Engineer, City of Bakersfield, Sewer Lift
Station Rehabilitation at Gosford Rd. and District
Blvd., Bakersfield, California
This project is the rehabilitation of an existing sanitary
sewage pump station in Bakersfield, California. The
existing concrete wet well is to be repaired and re-
used, whereas the existing pumps, piping, and
electrical equipment will be replaced. The wet well has
several different coating systems, which have
delaminated. These coatings will be removed during
construction and the underlying concrete repaired. A
new polyurethane elastomeric coating will then be
installed to further protect the concrete in the future.
Project Manager, City of Bakersfield, Storm Drain
Lift Stations, Bakersfield, California
The project consists of two stormwater pumping
plants. The first is rehabilitation of the existing pump
station at the Police Department pistol range,
constructed in 1942. The electrical and mechanical
equipment were replaced along with the discharge
pipe to the Carrier Canal The second pump station is
near the intersection of Talisman Drive and Kristina
Court. This is a new pumping station used to convey
runoff from an existing retention basin located in soils
with poor percolation.
Deputy Project Manager, City of Bakersfield,
Westside Parkway, Bakersfield, California
The Parkway is a $150 million 6-lane, 8-mile freeway
in western Bakersfield designed by AECOM.
Responsible for the design of 6 box culverts, 2 storm
water pump stations, 3 sewer lift stations, 3 raw water
canal realignments, and groundwater spreading
ponds. In addition storm drain, potable water, and
sanitary sewer pipelines were also designed
throughout the project limits. Coordination with public
utilities, including electrical, telephone, gas, and
telecommunication companies was also performed.
Project Manager, City of Bakersfield, Downtown
Master Storm Drain Study, Bakersfield, California
Project manager responsible for comprehensively
analyzing the downtown area, make
recommendations of capital improvement projects,
and provide construct cost estimates for the
construction to mitigate the undersized drainage
system. The study evaluates storm drainage
infrastructures in an area of approximately 1,590
acres in downtown Bakersfield. Two different models
were prepared to analyze the existing storm drain
system. The hydrologic model determines the quantity
of runoff tributary to each catch basin (i.e. inlet). This
is done using the software FLO-2D®, by FLO-2D
Prepared for: City of San Luis Obispo A-3
Software, Inc. (FLO-2D). FLO-2D is a true hydrograph
derived from physical routing in the flow calculated.
The hydraulic model evaluates flow within pipe
systems using the software SewerCAD® by Bentley.
Twenty -six (26) separate projects were identified to
improve capacity of pump stations, pipe, and eliminate
existing part-circle culverts.
Project Manager, City of Dinuba, Storm Drain
Master Plan, Dinuba, California
Preparation of a stormwater master plan update,
which included areas of planned development outside
of the existing master plan study area. Work included
setting drainage criteria for new stormwater facilities,
layout and sizing of future trunk pipelines, and
establish a nexus for collection of fees. Hydraulic
modeling was prepared using the software StormCAD
by Bentley. Cost estimates were prepared for all
projects.
Land Surveyor, Caltrain Electrification Project,
San Francisco Bay Area, California
Caltrain is a 51-mile commuter railroad that operates
between San Jose and San Francisco, California.
Caltrain is in the process of electrifying their track for
the first time and changing their engines from diesel to
electric. Dan is the surveyor working as Caltrain’s
representative describing property acquisitions and
easements necessary for the project which stretches
across three counties and dozens of local
municipalities.
Subject Matter Expert, Caltrain Utility Mapping,
San Francisco Bay Area, California
Caltrain owns and operates a 51-mile commuter
railroad serving the San Francisco Peninsula and
Santa Clara Valley. They retained AECOM to provide
utility mapping to support future capital improvement
projects along the corridor, which was completed in
two phases.
The first phase consisted of collecting and transcribing
all of Caltrain’s record utility data into AutoCAD
Civil3D on a single datum. The second phase, which
is currently in progress, includes requesting as-built
plans from utility owners and adding the following
attribute data to each utility.
•Type
•Owner
•Depth
•Size
•Material
•As-Built Plans
At the conclusion of the attribute process the
AutoCAD files will be exported into ArcGIS for use in
Caltrain’s GIS mapping system. Their rights-of-way
have approximately 4,656 utility crossings from more
than 25 different utilities for potable water, raw water,
sanitary sewer, storm drainage, electric, gas, legacy
copper telephone, and fiber optic telecommunications.
Project Manager, Bakersfield Public Works
Department, Trash Capture Implementation Plan,
Bakersfield, California
Prepared the trash capture implementation plan (TIP)
to achieve compliance with the trash amendments.
The Track 2 TIP includes calculations of the existing
trash load based on physical surveys completed,
rigorous mapping efforts to understand city drainage
patterns, multi-faceted plans to install and implement
devices for trash capture, and monitoring of those
efforts to reduce the trash load. Achieved a complete,
quality product within a very short timeline and
received high marks of praise from the client.
Project Engineer, City of Tehachapi, Tehachapi
Boulevard Bike Lane - Phase I, Tehachapi,
California
The project is a 2-way cycle track along the north side
of Tehachapi Boulevard between Hayes Street and
Steuber Road (1.5 miles in length) and designed in
accordance with the “Urban Bikeway Design Guide”
which is produced by the National Association of City
Transportation Officials. Physical separation of the
cycle track is achieved using two concrete curbs, with
a strip between that will be used in the future for
landscaping. The future landscape area also allowed
the track pavement to be installed with a near
continuous slope, instead of the up and down
configuration of Tehachapi Boulevard. Drainage flows
from the street through openings in the curb, across
the cycle track, and into the existing ditch within Union
Pacific right of way.

Professional history
Mr. Black is a Principal Civil Engineer with more than 43 years of professional experience; three years of
active military service, eleven years with public agencies (concluding as City Engineer of Palmdale, CA),
and the balance as an engineering consultant. His areas of expertise include design of water systems
(production, treatment, storage & distribution), wastewater systems (collection, treatment & disposal),
master plan preparation of water, wastewater and storm drainage, municipal engineering, site design
work, highway design, minor structural design, compressed natural gas fueling stations, and project
management. He has managed medium sized professional engineering staffs and military organizations
over 1,000 people. Prior to working for AECOM, he served on the Board of Directors of a major
engineering firm for six years and served as City Engineer for three cities.
Selected representative project experience.
Project Manager, City of Thousand Oaks,
Clarifier Rehabilitation, Thousand Oaks,
California: Mr. Black served as Project Manager
for engineering services needed to rehabilitate a
secondary clarifier for the City of Thousand Oaks.
The work involved a field evaluation of the
existing condition and providing a Condition
Assessment Report (CAR), followed by design.
The CAR looked at three options to address the
rotating assembly: Replace with a new spiral type
of assembly, replace the existing assembly with
the same unit, or repair the unit. The city chose
the latter and along with the concrete repair and
upgrades to the mixed liquor box, the
construction project was completed in September
of 2020 with no delay and with a very minimum of
change orders.
City of Bakersfield Wastewater Treatment
Plant No. 2 Grit Chamber and Distribution Box
concrete Repair Project: Mr. Black designed the
concrete repair work for the aerated grit
chambers, effluent channel, and distribution
boxes. Though the concrete was in fair condition
for most of the area addressed, there were
severe pockets of degradation that were so
advanced that reinforcing steel replacement was
part of the recommended repair. The project also
included replacement of all slide gates within the
project defined area.
During the course of construction, it was
discovered that the 250 foot long 60-inch
diameter pipe that conveyed effluent from the grit
chamber to the distribution box was badly
degraded at the crown. The discovery was not
anticipated by the city and not in AECOM’s
original scope of work, however Mr. Black was
able to address the issue with a sense of urgency
needed to add the repair to the existing
construction contract at a net savings to the city.
Within two days of discovery, Mr. Black and a
structural engineer from AECOM inspected the
interior of the pipe and recommended a cured in
place pipe repair solution that the contractor
utilized. Having worked with this technology on
past projects, Mr. Black relied on his experience
and expertise to arrive at the CIPP solution and
design. Timeliness and expertise in addressing
the issue were key components especially since
the bypass pumping equipment was still in place
and there was 30-days remaining on the original

contract. The project was completed in 2018 and
the City was appreciative of the results. The
need for the project was very high and we believe
the recommended rehabilitation work will
significantly increase the life of the facility.
Project Manager, Kern Sanitation Authority,
Digester Project, Kern County, CA: Served as
Project Manager for the Wastewater Treatment
Plant Audit that identified the lack of digester
capacity as being the main contributor to plant
capacity and redundancy. In 2017, Mr. Black
served as project manager of a new digester
project for KSA. The project consisted of a new
digester tank, sludge pumps, gas system
upgrade, new boiler, chemical injection, gas
scrubbers, transfer pumps between the new and
existing digester and demolition and removal of
two existing abandoned digesters. The design
also introduced a new process using a linear
motion mixer (LMM) that would reduce mixing
costs by more than 60%. The project is currently
under construction with a completion date of
August 2024.
Wastewater Master Plans: Mr. Black prepared
wastewater master plans for the cities of
Corcoran (Initial master plan in 1998 and the
update in 2006); California City in 2002, Kern
County Service Area (CSA 71) in 2005 and has
assisted on studies for McFarland, Wasco, and
Lemoore. Each master plan was unique, but had
similar goals: a. Existing Facilities Mapping, b.
Master Planned Facilities calculations and
mapping, c. Basis of connection and service fees,
and d. Implementation. In some cases, the
studies also included investigations and
suggested solutions to address specific problem
areas.
Rexland Acres Sewer Project: Mr. Black
served as project manager and lead engineer for
design of the Rexland Acres Sewer project. The
project was funded by multiple sources and
served a disadvantaged community that was
experiencing a health risk due to high
concentration of septic systems. The project
included surveying, design and engineering
construction services of a complete collection
system for the community as well as a pump
station and force main from the community to the
Kern Sanitation Authority Plant just south of
Highway 58. The force main is 5 miles long and
required special design considerations for surge,
odor control and re-suspension of solids.
Another challenge was community outreach. Mr.
Black worked with Dave Warner of Self Help
Enterprise and Kern County staff to reach out to
community block groups to achieve community
“buy-in”. The project was a success and has
been running very well since its construction in
2007.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Audit: Mr. Black
served at the project manager for the Wastewater
Treatment Plant Audit for Kern Sanitation
Authority (KSA). The audit, completed in 2016
evaluated the current condition of all components
and treatment works within the plant. The
purpose of the audit was to determine how much
additional influent the plant could process without
upgrading, and then a step by step influent
increase analysis to determine when other
facilities would require upgrading. The audit was
delivered to KSA on May 20, 2016.
Sanitary Sewage Collection System: Master
planned and/or/designed more than 200 miles of
trunk main, ten pump stations, and six metering
and grinder facilities. Also designed a cured in
place pipe (CIPP) project for the City of
Bakersfield. Some of the noteworthy projects
were Mohawk Sewer for Bakersfield, a sewer
canal crossing, master plan studies for Kern
County, California City, Lake Isabella, Rexland
Acres, and the City of Lemoore.
Water Master Plans: Mr. Black prepared Water
Master Plans for California City, and Wasco. He
also modeled entire water systems for the Cities
of Lemoore and Dinuba. Mr. Black was
responsible for establishing water connection and
service fees.
Storm Drainage Master Plan Studies:
Prepared storm drainage master plans and
studies for Mojave Unified School District,
California City, Hansen Aggregates, Wasco, Kern
County, and Palmdale Water District, California
State Prison System, the Federal Bureau of
Prisons, City of Corcoran, City of Tehachapi
Airport, the City of Wasco, County of Kern and
several other entities. Mr. Black utilized HEC-1,
HEC-2, HEC-RAS, Civil D, FLO-2D, TR-55 and
MIKE 21. He prepared the Hydraulic modeling
for design of four bridges in the Kern River.
Arsenic Removal Water Treatment Plant
Design: Mr. Black served as designer for three
arsenic removal water treatment plants and
served as project manager for two arsenic
removal water treatment plants. The plants are in
Corcoran, Victorville, and North Edwards and
Alpaugh.
