intersections, ramp metering installation, incorporation of bicycle facilities, right-of-way acquisitions
and utility relocations. As an experienced Caltrans Project Manager, Ms. Bernardi coordinated and
negotiated the cooperative agreements and right-of-way transfers with Caltrans, as well as managed
the construction to smooth implementation of the design.
Route 87 Widening Project, Caltrans, San Jose, CA ($90 million)
Principal-in-Charge, 2000 2006
As the principal-in-Charge for this project involving the 5-mile upgrade and widening from 4 to 6
lanes, Ms. Bernardi was responsible for meeting the project objectives within proposed schedule and
budget. The project included the addition of HOV bypass lanes at on ramps, the addition of
collector-distributor ramp and auxiliary lanes, freeway replacement due to settlement damage to
roadway and structures, and significant storm drainage analysis and improvements. The geometric
design integrated collector-distributor ramps within a freeway-to-freeway connector interchange as
well as modified the vertical alignment through the corridor due to the incorporation of Caltrans
maintenance scope to repair the facility due to settlement. Due to the presence of creek crossings
and the commuter rail set in the center of the highway, significant coordination was required with
stakeholders and regulatory agencies.
SR 152/SR 156 Interchange Project, Caltrans, Santa Clara & San Benito Counties, CA ($17
million)
Ms. Bernardi was the Project Manager for this project to modify an existing at-grade intersection
into a new interchange. The proposed interchange was a grade-separated flyover with ramp
connectors. Project involved complex stage construction, traffic handling, drainage design, utility
identification, access control, and ROW processing and mapping. The introduction of pedestrian
and bicycle facilities through this Caltrans-controlled facility required coordination with Caltrans to
obtain concurrence and approval. The design development required approval and coordination with
two separate counties, Caltrans (District 4 & 5) and the federal government.

Presidio Parkway, I-80 Aesthetic
Treatment, I-80 Berkeley Bridge
Overcrossing
Presidio Parkway is the primary transit link from San

Francisco to the north along Highway 101. The project
area extends from the Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza to
the Palace of Fine Arts. It is located within the Presidio
and connects to Highway 1.
Michael Painter re-envisioned the site with the freeway as
part of a connected, accessible, green parkway. MPA
Design formed a partnership with ARUP. Our vision was
soon adopted as the Preferred Alternative.
The Parkway Vision includes separating north and south
bound lanes with a median, redesign of the High Viaduct
Bridge to be structurally sound yet transparent, and
placing the roadway underground in two separate tunnels
that emerge into the second bridge structure.
Michael was involved in the aesthetic visioning of the
structural features including bridges, tunnels, portals, walls,
and abutments. The bridge features a modern orange fin
as structural support that relates to the Golden Gate Bridge. The tunnels are primarily naturally
ventilated, minimally lighted, and short enough for drivers to see the end. The portals are angled so
they emerge from existing slopes and provide a seamless transition from tunnel to roadway.
Similarly, walls are sited so they are not visible from the park and reduce vehicular noise. The
abutments demonstrate a modern interpretation of patterns seen in the historical battery structures.
In an effort to activate all parts of the sight we proposed using the space at the abutments and under

the ramps in creative ways, such as dog parks or recreational courts, which allow these often
forgotten spaces to be utilized rain or shine. We also proposed functional uses for under the ramps,
such as parking, water runoff treatment, and marsh expansion. Other functional elements such as
lighting and fencing are integrated into the structural features as part of a comprehensive design.
It took years of thoughtful design to align the roadway in a way that perfectly enhances the adjacent
facilities. Our team worked closely with various interest groups and consultants to consider views,
historic features and buildings, existing trees, auxiliary streets, roads and infrastructure. We
redesigned adjacent auxiliary roads and streetscapes to their original historical alignments, current
design standards, and evolving park needs. As part of the highway vision, we designed a series of
trails that provide frequent connections to park features, the city fabric, and future plans. All new
features are designed to retain important features such as the military batteries and historically
registered buildings. The design carefully transitions from the urban and formal Main Post design
and Veterans Cemetery to the naturalistic recreation area of Crissy Field. The project ends with a
delicate transition where it becomes part of the urban fabric and enters the city.
As the vision for the Presidio Parkway emerged, our team carefully documented it to ensure it
remained true in the built work. Together we created Architectural Criteria, Basis of Design, multiple
guidelines and graphics to guide the end result. These documents define elements including
restoration of historical buildings and features, preserving and reinforcing the values of the Presidio,
and activating space that had previously been used only as vehicular infrastructure. These clear
guidelines, in connection with concise graphics, defined goals and physical models, have resulted in
bringing a unique vision to fruition.
I-80 Aesthetic Treatment, Solano Transportation Authority, Fairfield and Solano County, CA
($2 billion)
Role, 2009 Present
This ongoing project is a reconfiguration of freeway connections between I-80, I-680, and SP-12,
which includes the addition of new ramps and bridge structures. Mikes role is to create aesthetic
wall and structure finishes that reflect the nature and character of the surrounding area. The modules
are to be applied on tall, short, narrow, and wide structures. Aesthetic Treatment Guidelines and
implementation oversight are our deliverables. Team collaboration includes Solano Transportation
Authority (STA), Caltrans, and City of Fairfield.
I-80 Berkeley Bridge Overcrossing, Caltrans, Berkeley, CA ($400 million)
Role, 1998 2004
MPA Design and other dedicated professionals were asked to envision a pedestrian and cycling
bridge to connect the city of Berkeley to the Bay where I-80 created a barrier between the two.
Through a collaborative effort, an attractive structure emerged which spanned over the highway at a
logical point to provide the most practical access. While working on the design Mike realized that
the bridge could be angled slightly so that it was not perpendicular to the road, but instead on axis
with the Golden Gate Bridge. The change was approved and the bridge realigned to capture the
picturesque view over the bay.

Second Penang Bridge, Jambatan Kedua Sdn Bhd, Malaysia ($1.3 million)
Checking Team Leader, 2009 2010
The Second Penang Bridge is a US$ 1.3B project to build a 9.3-mile sea crossing between peninsular
Malaysia and Penang Island. The bridge mainly comprises 180-foot-span precast viaducts with a
navigation channel provided by a 787-foot-span concrete cable stayed bridge.
Sammy led a team of engineers in the independent checking of the 9.9-mile-long precast segmental
concrete viaduct substructure and both superstructure and substructure of the 787-foot main span
cable-stayed bridge. Seismic design was a critical issue for the viaduct substructure and seismic
isolation was adopted to achieve an economical structure. Sammys role also included a review of the
design brief, ship impact, aerodynamics and seismic design of the structure.
Forth Replacement Crossing, Transport Scotland, UK ($2.6 million)
Substructure Lead, 2008 2010
The Jacobs-Arup joint venture has been commissioned for the management and delivery of the
project inclusive of all roads and other infrastructure with Arup being the lead partner for the Main
Crossing across the Firth of Forth. The new crossing involves a 1.7-mile cable-stayed bridge with a
pair of back to back 2,132-foot main spans together with associated highway infrastructure and
intelligent transport systems on a design and build basis. This elegant, unique bridge incorporates a
world first crossing stay cable system. It will also become the worlds longest steel-concrete
composite span and the worlds longest torsion span. This triple world record was achieved by a
rigorous assessment by the Arup team responsible for the Main Crossing and has been validated by
the conforming design and builds tenders submitted within our cost estimates.
Sammy was the substructure lead in the Hong Kong office. One of his key responsibilities is the
analysis of substructure. In particular, ship impact risk assessment and wind buffeting analysis were
also carried out for the 2,132-foot back-to-back main spans. Sammy coordinated the necessary
inputs required for the wind buffeting analysis from wind experts, wind tunnel testing and also
carried out the structural analysis in specialist structural analysis package TDV RM2006 Spaceframe.

Dubai Metro (Red and Green Line) Viaduct detailed design, Dubai Roads and Transport
Authority, Dubai, UAE ($7.6 million)
Substructure Lead, 2007 2008
The Dubai Metro is a driverless, fully automated metro network in Dubai. Sammy was involved in
the design of the viaduct structure for the Red Line and Green Line (total 43 miles) which are
currently in operation. The concrete viaducts have typical span lengths of 65.6144 feet long and are
designed for typical loadings as well as extreme event loading such as seismic load. The
substructures are governed by seismic loading and economical design was achieved by the use of
ductile design of columns.
Sammy was a team leader in the substructure design. He also liaised with the independent checker to
facilitate the approval. The programme of this design and build contract was originally delayed due
to various difficulties. With the newly appointed design consultant (Sammys previous employer), the
project was back to schedule.
Incheon Bridge, The Incheon Bridge Co. Ltd., Songdo, Korea ($1.4 billion)
Substructure Design Checker, 2005 2007
The bridge was constructed on a BOT basis by KODA, the AMEC led Concessionaire Company.
The major part of the bridge is constructed as 50m span low level viaducts over tidal mud flats and
shallow water. Balanced cantilever approach bridges with 145m spans rise up to meet the cable
stayed navigation span. The 2,624-foot-span cable stayed bridge is constructed in 66 feet of water
across the main navigation channel. The cable stayed bridge is designed to withstand buffeting by
typhoon strength winds and is provided with protection against impact from 100,000-ton ships.
Sammy was involved in the independent checking of the substructure of the approach bridges and
the cable-stayed bridge. The substructures are governed by seismic loading. The checking was
carried out on a fast-track programme and the checking was delivered on time successfully to
facilitate the construction programme.
Brunei-Muara to Temburong Fixed Link Feasibility Study, Department of Roads, Government
of Brunei, Brunei (est. ~$1.5 million)
Project Coordinator, 2010 Present
The fixed link is anticipated to involve 24.8 miles of new highway comprising 11.2 miles of sea
crossing (including two cable stay bridges, 10.6 miles of viaduct and at-grade road on embankment
on soft soils requiring ground improvement, and other connections to existing road network.
Sammy is the project coordinator for the feasibility study which requires multi-disciplinary inputs
and consideration of both technical, social, economic and political issues. He is also leading the
conceptual and preliminary design of the concrete viaduct and cable-stayed bridges. The viaducts
will be concrete box girders of 164-foot typical spans. The two cable-stayed bridges will have main
spans of 426 and 853 feet. The pylons have been designed architecturally to form a national
landmark for Brunei. The substructure design requires special consideration due to the very soft top
soil in Brunei Bay and the mangrove area in Temburong.
Forth Road Bridge Viaduct Bearing Replacement Project, Forth Estuary Transport Authority,
Scotland ($27 million design)
Design Team Leader, 2005 2007
The steel roller and rocker bearings of Forth Road Bridge approach viaducts had deteriorated
significantly over the years and had to be replaced. Similar to other older structures, the
superstructure was not designed for bearing replacement loading. As a result, a structural assessment
had to be done and a strengthening scheme was designed for the replacement works.
Sammy led a design team in the assessment and strengthening of the steel-concrete composite box
girder superstructure and concrete pier using Eurocodes.

Forth Replacement Crossing, Scottish Government, Edinburgh, UK ($1,200 million)
Aerodynamic Expert, 2008 Present
Ender has been the lead wind engineer during the specimen design stage of this major infrastructure
project. He managed extensive wind studies, including wind shielding tests, sectional aeroelastic tests
and full-bridge aeroelastic studies. These contributed to the understanding of bridge aerodynamics,
and the results have been presented in various conferences and journal papers. Depending on the
flexibility and aerodynamic characteristics of Gerald Desmond Bridge, similar wind tunnel tests are
likely to be required for confirming the design wind loads and optimizing the structural systems.
Fred Hartman Bridge, Texas DoT, Houston,TX
Full-Scale Monitoring, 1998 2003
Ender was part of a team that carried out a long-term full-scale monitoring programme on the Fred
Hartman Bridge in Texas. During this time Ender gained considerable experience in full-scale,
analytical and numerical aspects of wind-induced bridge response. In particular the large-amplitude
cable vibration problems observed at the time on this cable-stayed bridge provided an opportunity
for Ender to experience some of the aerodynamic challenges associated with such bridge types.
Damping systems were retrofitted on the Fred Hartman Bridge subsequent to this study to suppress
cable vibrations. The findings of this study have been published in international journals
Beauharnois Bridge, Transports Quebec, Quebec, Canada, CA
Aerodynamic Expert, 20010 2011
Ender provided wind engineering expertise to this design and build projects in Canada involving a
150m span cable-supported bridge across the Beauharnois Canal near Montreal. One of the
challenges associated with this bridge was the light-weight structural system used during
construction, which posed particular challenges during construction. Ender carried out expensive
wind tunnel tests for this twin-deck structure, using an advanced test setup which accounted for the

full aerodynamic coupling between the two parallel decks. Aerodynamic control features designed by
Ender (e.g. winglets) were introduced into the design to ensure the aerodynamic stability of the
bridge during extreme storm events during construction. This project provided a reminder that in
some cases bridges can be more susceptible to wind effects during construction period. Wind effects
may delay the construction programme by creating excessive vibrations and discomfort for workers.
In extreme cases aeroelastic problems such as vortex shedding have been known to create significant
disruptions for bridge construction, and therefore aerodynamic evaluations are likely to be needed
for Gerald Desmond Bridge to avoid such issues form the onset.

Graham has worked on many Arup bridge projects

around the world. This work includes long-span bridges, Forth Crossing
and he is very familiar with the durability issues and
Tappen Zee Bridge
concerns of owners with respect to corrosion control.
He has been at the forefront of the use of innovative approaches to durability of structures that
provide long, maintenance-free lives. He ensures that durability solutions are not only
technically robust, but also integrated with the design of the project. He tailors these solutions
to reflect the owners requirements for durability and approaches to whole-life maintenance,
while respecting local specification and construction practices.
He is now responsible for the provision of consultancy services to clients worldwide in relation to
corrosion, corrosion control and durability of materials. This work includes corrosion risk
assessments, use of corrosion resistant alloys, coating specifications and the use of cathodic
protection for both steel and reinforced concrete structures.
He has experience in both offshore and onshore engineering, including bridge and other civil
structures, offshore platforms, nuclear engineering and building engineering.
Tappen Zee Replacement Bridge, New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA), NY
Corrosion Consultant 2011 to 2012
Technical specification of corrosion protection for all steel parts of the bridge for use in this designbuild tender. Assessment of corrosion risks to internal spaces of the decks and arches that use closed
sections recommendations to the owner of options to control these risks including dehumidification,
corrosion allowance and protective coatings; the assessment took account of the preferred US
practice in bridge engineering. The study will also provide input to a life cycle cost assessment to
assess the most cost-effective option for owner over the 150-year design life. Many of the
corrosion/durability concerns are likely similar to those on the Gerald Desmond Bridge. The work
is also relevant as the outputs are to US specifications for a design-build contract.
Forth Crossing, Transport Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Corrosion Consultant, 2007 Present
Assessment of corrosion risks for the steel deck and cable structures and corrosion risks for
reinforcement in concrete passing through the splash zone. Specification of corrosion protection for
external steelwork using standard UK Highways Agency specifications for painting modified to
reflect the requirements of European standards and current best practice. Currently checking the
Design and Build contractors proposals for compliance with the specification requirements.

splash zone to ensure long-term durability against chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcement.
Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong Highways Department, Hong Kong
Corrosion Consultant Role, 2002 2009
Provided input to and a review of the overall durability study for the cable stayed and approach
bridges undertaken by Arup Hong Kong. The report included durability of both the steel deck and
cable structures and the reinforced concrete for the towers and resulted in the specification of
corrosion protection to meet the particular durability requirements of the projects.
A unique feature of the work on Stonecutters was the need for the upper 394 feet of the towers to
be a composite steel/concrete section. This presented specific durability and maintenance issues for
the owner. The chosen solution was to replace the carbon steel outer section with a duplex stainless
steel section that could provide a maintenance free structure for the design life of the bridge.
Graham was responsible for the commissioning and monitoring of the fabrication of full-scale trial
sections of the skin followed by the specification of the materials. Subsequently he provided both
remote and onsite support during the fabrication and erection of the sections in China and at the

Technical Review, 20062011
The proposed Mid-City/Exposition LRT line extends approximately 8.6 miles from downtown Los
Angeles to Culver City. The proposed rail development is a design-build project sponsored by the
Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority. Leighton Consulting was retained as the
geotechnical consultant for the project by Parsons Transportation Group.
Mid-City/Exposition LRT, MSE Wall Stability, La Cienega and Ballona Creek Overcrossings
Technical/QC Review, 2009
MSE walls were required at each abutment of the proposed overcrossings. Each wall consisted of
pre-cast panels vertically stacked with the retained soil internally reinforced by steel mesh at 2-foot
design intervals. The wall heights ranged from 14 to 29 feet. Global stability analyses were
conducted using the plans prepared by the wall designer to develop the numerical models. Stability
analyses were performed by limit equilibrium techniques using computer software that included the
capability to model the internal reinforcement. Provided technical review of the analysis and report.
Mid-City/Exposition LRT, La Brea Avenue Overcrossing and Aerial Station
The proposed overcrossing required design of new foundation elements to support the proposed
bridge and evaluation of stability of the associated approach embankments. Geotechnical aspects of
significance for this project included the presence of compressible clays and the stresses associated
with the quantity of fill required for embankment construction; the presence of potentially
liquefiable soils; and the subsurface conditions which resulted in the use of a deep foundation
system. Provided technical review of the analysis and report.

Mid-City/Exposition LRT, National Boulevard Bridge Replacement at Ballona Creek
The existing bridge required removal and replacement with a new bridge that was approximately 167
feet long and 78 feet wide. The new bridge consisted of a single span, supported at its eastern and
western ends by an abutment. The foundations for the abutments consisted of 24-inch-diameter
Cast-In-Drilled-Hole (CIDH) piles with a center-to-center spacing of approximately 8 to 11 feet. A
Caltrans Type 1 retaining wall with a maximum wall height of approximately 16 feet was planned
north of the eastern abutment. Typical pile analyses were conducted to provide axial compressive,
tensile and lateral load capacities along with analysis of the global stability of the proposed retaining
wall. Performed technical review of the analyses and geotechnical report.
Mid-City/Exposition LRT, Flower Street/Exposition Boulevard Grade Separation
Technical Review and Analysis, 2006
The grade separation for the proposed rail line was accomplished by a 2,540-foot-long trench
structure that consisted of cast-in-place concrete retaining walls and structural slab in the entry/exit
regions and secant pile retaining structures where excavation was deepest (approx. 28 feet). The
location of this proposed constructionand the proximity to existing structures including Caltrans
retaining walls along Interstate 110, a multi-story office building and parking structure, and smaller
commercial structures along the alignmentrequired the development of a field instrumentation
and monitoring program during construction. The instrumentation was recommended to consist of
settlement control points/monuments and slope inclinometers. Provided engineering analysis,
preparation of report and assisted in preparation of instrumentation plan.
Improvements to Magic Mountain Parkway and Interstate 5 Interchange, Caltrans, Santa
Clarita, Los Angeles County, CA ($60 million)
Project Engineer, 2007
The proposed Retaining Wall Nos. 64 and 90, located continuously along the northbound off-ramp
and Magic Mountain Parkway, were initially planned to be supported by a driven pile foundation
system. Conditions encountered during initial pile driving activities resulted in significant driving
difficulties and termination at depths far short of planned tip elevation. Specific field exploration in
the areas of wall construction was conducted. The results of the exploration indicated a shallow
foundation system was feasible. Recommendations were provided for preparation of the foundation
areas that would allow the use of standard Caltrans wall designs.
Gold Line Eastside Light Rail Extension Design-Build, 3rd Street Overcrossing, LA Metro, Los
Angeles, CA ($898 million)
Project Engineer, 20062009
The Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension (MGLEE) begins at Union Station, passes through
downtown Los Angeles and Boyle Heights, and terminates in East Los Angeles at Pomona and
Atlantic Boulevards. The alignment consists of approximately 4 miles of double-track at-grade
trackwork and nearly 2 miles of underground guideway.
The 3rd Street overcrossing of I-710 consisted of removing the central portion of the existing bridge
along its centerline and the installation of a new concrete box structure for support of new
trackwork. The installation of new track also included the installation of new Cast-In-Drilled-Hole
(CIDH) pile foundations at the abutments and bents to support the additional structural loads. Field
exploration was undertaken and engineering analysis performed to provide recommendations for the
design and construction of the new foundations. The proximity of an existing storm drain also
require special considerations in the design and construction to avoid imposing lateral load
surcharge upon this Los Angeles County facility.

freeway to freeway connector interchange. With project objectives and costs considered, the
geometric designs targeted minimizing the magnitude of the utility relocations and right-of-way
acquisitions. Leading a group of traffic engineers, local traffic, residential, and business impacts were
mitigated through effective stage construction and traffic management plan.
This multiple phased project involved modifying an existing interchange, collector distributor road,
major roadway infrastructure, local street widening, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, bus terminals
within the freeway, and allowances for train station construction. Mr. Wang participated in the
phasing of the project and developed the staging, construction signage and traffic handling plans
including detours for the interchange project. He was the primary geometric designer, which
required adjustments throughout the development process to mitigate construction staging
complexities. Design also included new and modified traffic signals for 3 intersections, ramp
metering installation, incorporation of bicycle facilities, right of way acquisitions and utility
relocations.
Highway 101 Widening, Caltrans, San Jose and Morgan Hill, CA ($40 million)
Developed the geometric design of the 7.5-mile upgrade of Highway 101 from 4-lane to 8-lane
freeway, modification of three interchanges and inclusion of an HOV connector ramp. As near-term
future phases of work would modify the corridor, the geometry was developed for the ultimate
future alignments in addition to the interim condition to facilitate the future design work. An
accelerated design schedule was successfully implemented.

developed the staging, construction signage and traffic handling plans, including detours for the
interchange project.
Jefferson Avenue Underpass, City of Redwood City, Redwood City, CA ($7.5 million)
Traffic Control Manager, 1994 2000
Led the traffic maintenance design and implementation for this project involving the reconstruction
of an at-grade railroad crossing in the historic downtown district of Redwood City to an underpass.
This highly visible project, due to its proximity to the downtown, the new Redwood City Hall and
the Sequoia Train Station, required the lowering of Jefferson Avenue to accommodate the vertical
clearances required for the railroad crossing. One of the most significant aspects of the design was
to minimize impacts to the users with effective stage construction and traffic handling plans and the
incorporation of a railroad shoofly. The multi-jurisdictional approval of the stage construction and
detours consisted of the City of Redwood City, Caltrain and Caltrans whose expressway was affected
by the construction.
Redwood Shores Planned Development, Redwood Shores Property, Redwood City, CA ($260
million)
Traffic Manager, 1977 2003
This large development project consisted of constructing a 1,400-acre master planned community in
a challenging geotechnical area in the City of Redwood City. BKF was involved with all facets of the
project including the planning, entitlement, environmental clearance, design and construction
phases. As the traffic manager of the project, Mr. Gschwend oversaw the development of the
provisions for the roadway requirements and subsequently was responsible for the roadway, traffic
signal, signing, striping and stage construction design including the development of traffic handling
plans and detours.
Howard and Brittan Avenue Grade Separations, City of San Carlos, San Carlos, CA ($11
million)
The project required the engineering design, surveying, construction administration and inspection
for this dual heavy-rail grade separation project at Howard Avenue and Brittan Avenue. The design
included two bridge deck structures for the railroad shoofly, two twin box culverts, and one single
box culvert beneath the new railroad tracks. BKFs innovative design involved constructing this
culvert between the Caltrain track, the new shoofly, and vehicular crossing. Leading the effort on the
traffic maintenance design, Mr. Gschwend developed the stage construction and traffic handling
design with detours and temporary sign modifications, which balanced the impacts of reconstructing
two arterials within the same project.
Highway 101/Marsh Road Interchange, Caltrans, Menlo Park, CA ($10 million)
Highway 101/ Marsh Road interchange was reconstructed to improve operation, efficiency and
capacity. As part of the reconstruction, the existing overcrossing was reconstructed and raised to
provide standard Caltrans vertical clearance over the freeway. Marsh Road, a very congested arterial
thats a freeway-to-freeway connector between Route 84 and Highway 101 and is the entrance to
Menlo Park, was widened and realigned. Mr. Gschwend was responsible for the development of the
signing and striping design, traffic signalization design and the complicated stage construction,
which required the realignment of ramps and frontage roads, detours and accommodations for bus
stops, pedestrians and bicyclists.

The Cross Bay Link is a road bridge connection comprises 1.1 miles of dual two-lane carriageways
on a viaduct, mainly in the sea. This will be the first long-span bridge in Hong Kong to include both
cycle track and footpath. It is proposed that the feature lighting scheme would be aesthetically
pleasing for both viewing perspectives: for the remote onlookers around the bay looking at the
bridge from the outside, as well as drivers and pedestrians crossing the bridge that experience the
bridge from the deck. To cater for both, the scheme incorporates lighting principles that will allow
for the outer faces of the arches to be lit up, as well as for the faces visible from within to be
illuminated.

Forth Replacement Crossing, Transport Scotland, Scotland, UK
Lead architectural lighting designer, 2008 Present

The Forth replacement crossing, the worlds longest 3-tower cable stayed bridge, is being built across
the Firth of Forth in Scotland. The project aims to provide a fitting twenty-first century icon standing
alongside existing nineteenth and twentieth century grade A listed bridges. Construction commenced
in 2011 and the bridge is expected to be completed in 2016. The main lighting theme is the Line: the
bridge will appear at night as a continuous line of light floating on the water. The vertical elements will
be lit carefully to accentuate this effect and avoid visual clutter. There will be a gentle accent effect on
the towers, above and below the bridge deck.
Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong Highway Department, Hong Kong, China

Lead architectural lighting designer, 2001 2009
Cable stayed bridge with two single pole towers 951 feet high and a twin aerodynamic deck. The
bridge is 5,235 feet long and has a 3,339-foot-long main span. The simple yet elegant lines of this
bridge are picked out with crisp cool white light to reinforce their beauty and the simplicity of the
bridge structure against the backdrop of the local golden night sky. The lighting scheme is based
around three key architectural elements: the tower beacons and light strips; the tower pylons and the
cross-girders.

New 1,066-foot-long, 13.1-foot-wide steel footbridge over the River Thames between St Pauls steps
and the Tate Modern at Bankside. The Blade of Light design has been developed in close
collaboration with Foster & Partners and Claude Engle. Light pipe technology has been used to
create a perception of a blade of Arctic white light across the river, with the edge of the 4 metrewide bridge deck lit at low level along its length. This edge lighting, achieved using light pipe
technology, allows easy maintenance, illuminates the deck, uplights the handrail and allows
pedestrians on the bridge to be well-lit.

bridge deck. During pylon construction, three provisional
front stays were installed to bear the weight of the inclined pylon.
The orthotropic deck is 116.5 to 128 feet wide, 9.9 to 11.3 feet thick, and is composed of a central
triple box structural backbone running the length of the bridge, supporting ribs cantilevered out
crosswise atop the backbone every 16.4ft. The foundation is established by means of 20 piles 145
feet deep and 6.6 feet in diameter. The piles are joined together with caps of variable heights and
widths. A metal frame is secured to the capping by means of 172 post-tensioned bars 1.85 inches in
diameter and 19.7 feet long. The mast is 410 feet tall, with a cross-section ranging from 20x133 feet
at the base to 10.8x9.7 feet at the top. The mast was fabricated in 15 sections, which were
transported to the site and joined into 7 assemblies for placement using a 750-ton crane and a 200ton crane..Construction started in October of 2004 and completed in December of 2008.

Alamillo Bridge, EXPO'92, Seville (Spain) ($50 million). CALATRAVAS PROJECT

Project and Direction of construction, 1998
The cable-stayed El Alamillo Bridge in Seville is a landmark job in its conception. The principle on
which it works is a balance in which equilibrium is attained by inclining the 432-foot-tall mast at an
angle of 58 to the horizontal. The design is by Santiago Calatrava. The bridge has a span of 650 ft,
which enters the technical domain of cable-stayed bridges. The mast to which the cables are
anchored is a compound structure made of concrete and steel. Its cross section varies, from 13 feet
in diameter from the ground to a height of 250 feet. The masts inclination enables the cables pull to
be balanced without using guy cables. The deck is made up of a metal casing of varying width and 43
foot-wide lateral overhangs. The metal casing measures 14 feet along its edge, and its cross-section
forms a hexagon whose upper and lower wings vary in width from 12 feet to 20 feet in the upper
frame and from 10-7 to 19-4 in the lower frame. The overhangs are built with metal ribs set 13.2
feet apart holding a reinforced concrete slab on top, built with prefabricated 4-inch-thick plates with
5 inches of concrete laid on site on top of the plates. The deck is anchored to the mast by 13 pairs
of parallel cables that spring from the edges of the central metal casing.
Draw Bridge at Port of Barcelona (Spain), Port of Barcelona Authority, Barcelona (Spain)
($37.5 million)
This drawbridge stands between the Poniente wharf and the Adosado wharf at Barcelona Harbour.
It is a two-leaf steel bascule bridge. The free span of the navigation channel measures 328 feet
between piers, while the span between ball-and-socket joints is 358 metres. The 179-foot freestanding projecting end makes this bridge a world record holder in its class. The piers, on a pilot
foundation, are made of reinforced concrete, with some local pre-tensioning so that they can
withstand the forces exerted by the main jacks. The bridge is reached by two concrete viaducts that
lead to the level of the deck, situated 66 feet above sea level. Not only the deck of this bridge but
also its primary piers can be considered unique; they all harmonize and work together to form a
sculptural assemblage. Each of the two leaves of the bridge deck is 225 feet long: 46 feet long from
the rear, where the counterweight is hung, to the joints; and 179 feet of projecting end, from the
joints to the centre of the span. The total width on the ground plan is as much as 59 feet, due to the
outward inclination of the deck's edge beams. The deck width is 50 feet.
The bridge was assembled using one of the biggest floating cranes in the world, able to lift the 2,100
tons that each span weighed.
Elche Suspension Bridge, Department of Public Works- of Valencia , Elche (Spain) ($25
million)
This 463-foot-span asymmetric single-pylon suspension composite bridge has two inclined planes of
cables that connect with the 120-foot-high pylon. The cross section is 65 ft wide and a variable
depth of between 2 and 2-10". It allows four traffic lines and two sidewalks 10 feet wide. The steel
box is formed by a continuous plate placed at the bottom. Over this plate there are longitudinal and
transverse floor beams every 19-8" that connect with the hangers. Over these floor beams the upper
plates are placed. Finally a 8" cast-in-place slab complete the cross section.
Construction started in 1998 and completed in 1999.

Dr. Mahins research focuses on improving understanding

of the seismic behavior of systems and improving
earthquake performance. He has carried out field
investigations following more than 17 major earthquakes.
He is an advocate of high-fidelity numerical simulation,
optimization and performance-based design. He pioneered
the development of hybrid simulation methods so that
structures too large to be tested by conventional means
can be studied experimentally, and has carried out a wide
variety of destructive shaking table, quasi-static and field
tests. These tests have included field tests of retrofit
strategies for the Cypress Viaduct following the 1989
Loma Prieta Earthquake, numerous shaking table tests of
innovative bridge systems including ones incorporating
foundation rocking and uplift, seismic isolators, viscous
dampers, and self-centering reinforced concrete columns.
Currently, he is working on a number of advanced precast
concrete systems for Accelerated Bridge Construction.

Third River Tajo Bridge, Lisbon
Geotechnical Designer. 2010
Five-mile-long, double-decker, high-speed railway/motorway bridge over the Tajo River in Lisbon.
The client was FCC. The maximum span of the central part of the bridge (cable-stayed) is 1,377 feet.
The foundation of the central pillars consists of in situ piles 197 feet in depth. Due to the
characteristics of the existing soil profile, formed by alluvial soft deposits reaching 213 feet in
thickness, and the high seismicity of the construction zone, a main topic of analysis in this case was
the design of the foundations of the bridge in combination with seismic properties of the foundation
soils, including their liquefaction potential. Determination of the applicable dynamic parameters and
the performance of dynamic calculations constituted a key factor in the geotechnical design. Special
analyses were also carried out on the construction constraints of the complex tidal regime of the
estuary and its implications.
Mr. Ortuo and his team at Uriel & Asociados, were in charge of the geotechnical analysis and the
foundation design. Selected as a preferred bidder, the project is stopped at the present moment due
to the present economic downturn.
Motorway A-7New Bridge over the River Guadalhorce. Mlaga West Ring Road (Spain).
Owner: Ministry of Public Works
Geotechnical Designer, 2006
Included in the new motorway project are two large new bridges 2,755 and 1,902 feet long. One of
them, the Guadalhorce Viaduct, has a central span reaching 446 feet in length. The existing soil
profile is constituted by quaternary soft and loose soils some 100 to 130 feet in thickness, overlying a
plio-quaternary and miocene deposits. The foundations of the bridge were solved by means of 6- to
6.5-foot-diameter piles, 115 to 165 feet in length. The approaching embankments required
preloading and the installation of wick drains. The high seismicity risk of the site, (ab=0,11 g;
ac=0,16 g), required the performance of nonlinear dynamic calculations, based on an appropriate
determination of the corresponding soil dynamic parameters.
Mr. Ortuo and his team at Uriel & Asociados, were in charge of the geotechnical interpretation and
the foundation design.
Motorway AP-1. Eskotiatza Arrasate. Guipzcoa (Spain). Owner: Bidegi (Local
Administration)
Geotechnical Designer, 2004
Located within the mountain region of the Spanish northern province of Guipzcoa, this 6.3 km
motorway extension includes 3 tunnels and 2 singular viaducts.
Arbizelai viaduct is a 408 m long cable-stayed bridge, with two abutments and 5 pillars. Its central
span is 140 m long. The ground profile consists of interlayered calcareous sandstones and
limestones. Foundations by means of footings were designed and constructed, with allowable
bearing pressures from 43 to 102 psi.
Basagoiti Viaduct is formed by two separate bridges (two lines) of 1,280 and 1,400 feet in length
respectively. Their maximum central spans reach some 410 feet, and are solved by V-shaped pillars.
The foundation ground is formed by sandstones and laminated claystones. The foundations system
consisted of footings working at average vertical pressures of 58 to 87 psi. However, one of the
pillars laid upon an ancient colluvial landslide, and had to be founded by means of large-diameter
piles embedded into the rock substratum.
Mr. Ortuo and his team at Uriel & Asociados, were in charge of the geotechnical analysis and the
foundation design.

Table 1.1-1: Distribution of the work among the

design team plays to the strengths of each member,
drawing on their specialized skills and experience.
The Design Manager will be co-located in the

IPO full time for the duration of the Project,
assisted by co-located Deputy Coordinators as
needed. Key design tasks that will be co-located
full time in the IPO include geometrics, roadway, MOT, utility and drainage/stormwater
engineering. A number of design support engineers, including geotechnical, structural and
civil, and CAD support will also be co-located
full time in the IPO. The geotechnical site
investigation, pile load testing and project surveying will be run entirely out of the IPO as
well. Other discipline leads will be present in the
IPO part time as needed for face-to-face meetings and coordination, including geotechnical,
structures and visual quality. A full construction
support team will be based in the IPO for the
duration of construction.
Those team members not co-located will be
fully integrated into the Design Team via faceto-face meetings, teleconferences, video conferences, intranet sites and project integration
web-based software. The project integration
software will house all the common information
that team members require for Scopes, Budgets,
Schedules, Quality Management, Safety, and
Security, as well as design. These tools will allow
for the most efficient sharing of information
and will allow the Design Team to virtually
work around the clock. The co-location of
design team in the IPO will facilitate close
cooperation with the Port and Caltrans,
particularly over the shoulder design reviews
to obtain their regular and timely input.
UDBE Involvement
The design team will strive to make the contractual goal of 11% UDBE participation with
the involvement of OPAC and Mia Lehrer +
Assoc. Additional UDBE companies will be
subcontracted on an as-needed basis as the
Project continues.
1.1.2.3 Technical Advisory

Panel
RFP ITP Appendix B 1.1.2 (ii)
The SFI team will convene an external Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) comprising nationally and internationally recognized specialists
and experts to provide independent advice and
recommendations on complex technical design
and construction issues, particularly questions

of seismic analysis and design. The members of

the panel are:
Structural/Bridge Analyses and Design
Expertise, Prof. Niels Gimsing
Earthquake Engineering, Andrew Whitaker
Structural Engineering Research Expertise,
Dr. Fabio Brancaleoni
Geotechnical Engineering, Dr. Ross Boulanger
Bridge Construction, Luis Viuela
The TAP will collectively provide expertise in:
Structural and Bridge Analysis and Design,
including long span cable-stayed bridges.
Structural Engineering Research in seismic
design, structural dynamics, wind design, and
nonlinear analysis of structures.
Bridge Construction, including long span
cable-stayed bridges.
Geotechnical Design, including liquefaction
assessment and seismic soil-structure interaction.
The TAP will meet at least four times a year, as
requested by the SFI Team, the Port, or Caltrans and meetings will be open to any of the
above or other issues that the Port or Caltrans
may want to discuss. The meetings will be scheduled prior to design submittals, with relevant
materials provided to the panel members in
advance of the meetings. The TAP will prepare
written reports to both the SFI Team and the
Port containing their comments and recommendations within five days of each review
meeting. The SFI Team will prepare written
responses to the comments and recommendations and reach resolution with the TAP on
each. The resolved recommendations will be
incorporated into our analyses and designs.
As can be seen in the organizational charts, the
TAP is independent of the design team and will
be coordinated by the DBM to conduct an
independent review of bridge design and procedures and advise the Design Teams responsible
engineer on the design and construction of the
Main Span Bridge and the Approach Bridges.
1.1.2.4 Design Sequencing

RFP ITP Appendix B 1.1.2 (iii)
The design work will reflect the fast-track

approach of design-build and will be sequenced
to support the construction schedule while still
meeting the submittal and review requirements
in the RFP. To control this sequencing, we will

prepare a detailed, logic-driven Design Schedule
to ensure that all design and submittal tasks are
understood and accounted for, and the construction schedule can be supported.
Construction Priorities
Since access to critical properties on the east
side of the channel will not be available at the
start of the Project, and overhead construction
using a Movable Scaffolding System (MSS) is
most efficient if uninterrupted, construction of
the approach bridges will proceed continuously
from west to east. The design of the approach
bridges will be sequenced to support this construction approach.
Initial Submittals
A number of initial design tasks must begin
immediately after NTP1 in order to maintain
the project schedule. These include preparing
and submitting the Visual Quality Management
Plan, Geotechnical Task Execution Plan, and a
Column Testing Plan. Approval of these plans will
permit the design team to advance the geotechnical site investigation and column testing,
which are critical path items. The Accident and
Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment will also be
initiated during this start-up phase.
Concept Design Submittals
The next design tasks on the critical path are the
Conceptual Geometric Plan, followed by the Concept Design Submittals and Type Selection. The
design team will advance these submittals as
high priorities to obtain approval expeditiously.
Key to expeditious approval will be early
involvement of the TAP and timely resolution
and incorporation of their comments and recommendations.
Design Packages
Table 1.1-2 shows the various design packages
required to support the construction schedule.
We have divided the design into packages by
discipline on the west and east side of the channel. Since we will start work on the west side of
the channel, these will be the first packages
released for construction. We will first complete

respect the submittal limitations in the RFP) as
these segments will be constructed first. The
corresponding packages for the cable-stayed
bridge will follow a longer submittal sequence,
as those packages will have longer development schedules. The east approach bridges will
lag behind, as they will be constructed later
than the west approach bridges.

drill rigs, multiple large crawler cranes, two 550foot 580 Leibherr Tower Cranes with 137-foot
booms, two Construction access elevators, selfclimbing jump forms, Putzmeister line pump,
multiple backhoes and bulldozers, wheel
loaders, scissor liftsas well as a substantial
amount of standard construction equipment.
Therefore, SFI has assigned an Equipment
Manager to make sure that all equipment is
procured on time and properly maintained.
The Equipment Manager, Keith Wood, will
implement the BMPs for fueling of all equipment, both onsite and offsite, in full compliance
with the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (AQMD). To comply with the Ports air
emission standards, the Equipment Manager

will ensure that the equipment is in compliance
at all times.

1.1.3.2 Management &

Integration of Subcontractors
& Suppliers
RFP ITP Appendix B 1.1.3(iii)
Subcontractor Selection
The Project Controls Manager, Micaiah Revero,
will establish a competitive bidding process as
required for subcontracted work, whereby the

needs of the Project are met, local contractors

are actively encouraged to participate and all
subcontractors will be treated fairly. As part of
this process, outreach will focus on UDBE and
DBE subcontractors to maximize all
DBE/UDBE opportunities.
Subcontract packages will be developed using
the intermediate and final design plans and the
project schedule. Using a fair, competitive
process, the focus will be on local subcontractors having every opportunity to contribute.
After the subcontractors are selected, they will
either be directly involved or be asked to buy
in to the schedule as part of their obligations.
The subcontractors will also be required to meet
the safety, quality and environmental requirements, which will include orientation of all subcontractors employees.
Subcontractor Management
Weekly meetings to coordinate schedule and
work area assignments will be conducted by the
construction team. Attendance by a representative for all subcontractors with ongoing work
will be mandatory. Subcontractors will be held
to the same level of performance, commitment
to quality, and commitment to safety as the
design-builder.
Disputes will be handled at the lowest level
possible. On-site construction personnel will
meet with the subcontractors personnel to
resolve disputes when possible. Upon exhausting negotiations at the field level, any outstanding issues will be elevated to the on-site project
executives. If an issue is still not able to be
resolved, it will be further elevated to the corporate executives. If an issue is still not able to be
resolved, it will follow the dispute resolution
procedures set forth in the subcontract agreement between the parties.
Vendors & Manufacturers
To ensure that the proper materials and supplies
are purchased and arrive on time, we will procure these items locally as practical. SFI will
closely mange the procurement of specialty
items such as main span bridge components,
forms, concrete and concrete aggregates, structural steel, cables, bearing pads, and hinges to
ensure that all specifications are followed and
source inspections are completed prior to deli-
very. Purchase orders for these items will be

negotiated during NTP1 and finalized at NTP 2.
Other material needs will be developed as the
plans are finalized. For these materials, the Purchasing Manager will first develop a clear scope,
including the specifications and delivery timeframe. The Quality Manager will verify that all
the required testing and certifications have been
met or source inspections on site will be completed. Finally, the Quality Manager will ensure
that the correct materials are received and carry
the proper certifications, prior to use.
1.1.3.3 Conclusion
SFI has formed a construction organization that
allocates the proper level of resources and personnel needed to effectively design and build
the Project. The SFI team is fully integrated
between construction, design, safety, environmental and quality disciplines. Our value-added
position of DBM will push the integration
between design and construction to help
efficiently design and build the Project.
We are providing experienced engineers,
managers and superintendents each with over
20 years of local experience to oversee the
construction in compliance with Caltrans
specifications. These superintendents, who also
have established relationships with several local
subcontractors as well as local unions and
suppliers, will manage the integration of
subcontractors, labor and vendors.
We have developed our organization to provide
a highly experienced, integrated management
team that will apply both world-class expertise
in cable-stayed structures and a seamless designconstruction management approach. This organizational structure will ensure that each discipline is overseen by highly experienced staff.
The same team that developed the SFI proposal
will continue the work at project startup, building on the preliminary design and work plans
that they created, and bringing with them an
intimate knowledge of the Project and our solutions.

discussed are:

DESIGN INVOLVEMENT DURING

CONSTRUCTION
Similar to the involvement of key construction

personnel in the design process, the design
engineers and support members will remain
involved throughout construction. Even before
the start of actual construction, the responsible
design discipline manager will attend the weekly
construction meetings, becoming familiar with
current and planned construction activities.
As construction proceeds in a particular area,
the responsible design discipline manager will
be responsible for:
Reviewing working drawings and contractor
submittals.
Responding to requests for information
from construction staff.
Performing routine field visits to observe
construction and verify the design intent is
reflected in construction.
Developing design changes as necessary in
response to requests from the construction
staff.
Quality Integration
Our quality management system is integrated
into every element of workfrom planning of
engineering and final design to procurement,
construction, project management, quality
control, and acceptance testing and
commissioning. The integration of QA/QC
requirements flows down to our subcontractors,
suppliers, and fabricators for implementation
and communication, as appropriate. The
Quality Manager will promote conformance to
these management system requirements through
on-the-spot surveillance, formal audits,
management assessments, and lessons-learned
strategies.
The Executive Management Committee will
confirm that quality management orientation
training is provided for project employees,
including subcontractor management personnel,
to provide a clear understanding that the quality
management system, quality policy, goals, and
objectives are communicated.
DESIGN QA/QC
The Design Quality Manager will conduct
regular design meetings with the design

discipline managers to track progress and
content of the design. These meetings will
address design interfaces, progress, schedule,
design quality, system safety, mandatory
formats, and quality and code compliance. All
drawings and supporting calculations will be
required to follow the document control
process and be submitted in the format
specified by the Port.
During the design phase, the Design Quality
Manager will oversee the following:
Design team internal check.
Internal independent check (all structures).
Interdisciplinary reviews.
High-level design reviews.
Environmental compliance.
CONSTRUCTION QA/QC
The Construction Manager and Construction

Quality Manager will initiate construction
QA/QC integration efforts.
SFI will develop Construction Work Plans
(CWP) for individual work elements. The CWP
is an effective tool for maintaining consistency
and integration planning across all selfperformed and subcontracted work and
typically contains the following information:
RFC plans, any necessary permits and
construction easements.
Description of the planned work: overview
of the work and step-by-step detail on the
sequence of the work activity including
construction methods, key equipment, and
any backup equipment required.
List of required prerequisite activities and
current status.
Potential public exposure: Identification of
work activities that may expose the general
public to danger, inconvenience, or risk.
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for the scope of
work and any associated safety issues.
Applicable contract specifications and
drawings.
List of applicable submittals required and
their current status. Typical submittals
include traffic control, administrative
support (permits, insurance, etc.), material

and equipment data and personnel

certifications, shop and working drawings,
process and test procedures, and schedules.
Applicable RFIs, Design Changes and their
current status.
Individuals/ positions responsible for
supervising the work, which includes any
subcontractor representatives who will be
supervising.
Planned start date of the work, progress rate
expected, and extended work hours required.
Handling, shipping, storage, and preservation
of material and equipment. This includes
schedule and method of delivery and where
these items will be stored and protected.
Special processes to be used (such as
welding, non-destructive testing, cathodic
protection, and coatings), procedures, and
personnel certifications and training, as
appropriate.
Acceptance criteria and tolerances for critical
work elements. Critical work elements are
items where there is increased exposure and
risk. If not already noted in design
documents, tolerances are listed so that they
may be communicated and met.
In-process and final inspections and
frequencies for testing, including inspection
checklists.
Any imposed inspection hold points, which
are usually identified during the initial
readiness review meeting.
Methods to protect the completed work
from follow-on activities, if required.
Public notifications, detours and locally
approved maintenance of traffic plans, if
required.
Utility impacts and mitigation.
Environmental impacts and construction
impacts.
3D modeling, if necessary, to show critical
interfaces.
SFI will provide the Construction Work Plans
to the Port two weeks prior to starting work
and will then hold a construction kick-off
meeting for major categories of work to verify
that we have integrated all necessary elements

into construction. We have found on past
projects that the Construction Work Plans
greatly contribute to internal coordination and
get everybody on same page prior to starting
construction.
Technical Services
SFI has extensive internal technical services
resources to draw upon, should we need them,
with worldwide design expertise to bring
innovative solutions and specialized technical
support. This Technical Services Group has
performed design and construction for several
cable-stayed structures throughout the world. It
represents five disciplines that consolidate 30
years of global experience into lessons learned:
Equipment
Special projects
Civil engineering and architecture design
Research and development
Quality
The 300+ individuals that make up the
Technical Services Group are top specialists in
engineering and construction techniques,
bringing that added value to the Project:
The Equipment Department can be
commissioned to oversee the operation and
maintenance of the specialized construction
equipment to be used in the Project,
especially the MSS for the Approaches and
travelers for the Cable Stayed Bridge,
bringing all the experience gathered in
previous work.
The Special Projects Department can be
used, in conjunction with the operations
group, to assist in defining the means and
methods and the construction sequence to
be followed on site, making sure that there
are no breakdowns between the design and
the actual construction of the different
elements.
The Civil Engineering Design Department
will work hand-in-hand with the Design
Build Manager to ensure that all the technical
challenges that arise during construction are
solved with clarity and in the most efficient
way possible.

1.1.4.2 Environmental
Monitoring

the mitigation measures identified in the design
and Book 2 requirements.
Environmental monitoring doesnt just start in

the field after the plans have been released for
construction. Environmental monitoring starts
at the conceptual design phase and leads
through every stage of design and construction.
Our Environmental Management Plan will define

From our vast wealth of transportation experience delivering Caltrans-related projects in

southern California, as well as international
cable stayed and design-build bridge experience, SFI has an intimate knowledge of the
standards, requirements, and guidelines on
which the Gerald Desmond Bridge (GDB)
design will be based. Combined with best
world-class practices, design task leaders will be

three organizations make long term commitments to achieve mutual goals. Partnering
requires changing traditional adversarial relationships into team-based relationships. SFI is
committed to open communication, trust,

Dispute Resolution Ladder & Board
Together, SFI and the Port will construct a

Dispute Resolution Ladder (DRL) to help issues
get resolved at the lowest level (see Figure
1.1-5). If the Dispute Resolution Ladder fails to
resolve the issue, then the parties will utilize a
Dispute Review Board to resolve issues.
Construction/Utility Schedule
Third-party utility relocations have the potential

to delay the schedule and increase Project costs.
SFI has experience managing and performing
utility relocations. Utility relocation coordination can potentially be very frustrating because
the utility companies do not have a direct contractual relationship with either the Port or SFI.
Our lessons learned from managing and relocating literally thousands of utilities in the last
15 years have helped us develop our plan for
utility relocations.
We will hire consultants who have previously
worked for the utility companies to walk the
design through with the utility companies. The
best risk position for SFI is to be in control of
both the design and construction of the utility
relocation. We are able to relocate all wet utilities, and we are prequalified with SCE to do
electrical work.

Shop Drawings
SFI will internally review and approve all shop

drawings prior to submitting them to the Port
for approval and concurrence.
Temporary Design Works
SFI will design and process designs for the

temporary work of falsework, shoring, traffic
control and signal plans, and erosion and SWPP
plans prior to construction. We will have a list
of all temporary work that needs design
approval in our Construction Work Plans
(CWP). The Port will review and approve the
list prior to the CWP being approved, which
then allows SFI to start work.
QA/QC Coordination
Through our Quality Management Plan (QMP),

we will clearly define requirements, check lists,
lines of authority, hold points, measures of performance, configuration management, and final
documentation of contract and quality documents. Our Quality Manager and quality control
design and construction teams will remain independent by reporting to SFIs Executive
Management Committee and the Port. The
resulting QMP will be a robust set of guidelines
tailored to this Project that outline processes,
data collection, testing and reporting, all of
which will be completely independent from the
design and construction teams.
Testing/Inspection
SFIs Quality Management Plan emphasizes

three specific targets: early planning, documentation prior to design and construction, and
independent inspection and testing. Our experience has demonstrated that quality is not only
about the final product, but also having the well
defined processes and procedures. Samples of
testing that will be completed by SFI are:

1.1.6.1 Overview
The SFI Joint Venture has set the standard for
safety performance on recent design-build
bridge projects.
We bring this same safety culture, safety program, and management philosophy to the
Gerald Desmond Bridge (GDB) Replacement
Project, assuring the Port that people and
property will be fully protected.
All members of the SFI Joint Venture have
safety metrics that are better than industry
averages. For example, Shimmicks Experience
Mod Rate (EMR) average for the last 5 years is
0.72.
The SFI Joint Venture will bring its individual
safety cultures, experienced Southern California
craft labor, and success in past safety performance to the Project. The Safety Management Plan
will be based on SFI Joint Ventures policies
and procedures, similar to the Metro-approved
safety plan team members implemented so successfully on the Gold Line Eastside Extension
project.
SFI Advantages
SFI team member Shimmick Construction has
garnered many AGC high-hazard safety awards.
All field supervisors (not just safety) and senior
field personnel will seek a CHST credential.
MSS reduces the risk associated with building
and removing traditional falsework.
ATC-004A reduces contaminated material being
removed from the site that could affect workers
and the public.
ATC-006 moves the Ocean Boulevard exit to the
right, making the final configuration safer for the
vehicle traffic.
ATC-015 creates a continuous bikeway that
keeps bicycles and pedestrians protected from
vehicle traffic.

Injury and Illness Prevention
Program (IIPP)
SFI is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy
workplace for our employees. We consider the
prevention of accidents to be an integral part of
our operation, and to these ends, we have
established a comprehensive Injury and Illness
Prevention Program (IIPP), which, as stated
above, will be part of our Safety Management
Plan submitted to the Port prior to the start of
work. The IIPP is designed to:
Develop a system of communication.
Identify and evaluate workplace hazards.
Establish methods for correcting unsafe or
unhealthful conditions.
Establish training and retraining programs
for the employees.
Assure that records on training, inspections
and corrective measures are maintained.
The responsibility to the Port for the implementation of this Injury and Illness Prevention
Program is assigned to Mr. Wilson, the Safety
Manager.
The responsibility for managing and enforcing
the daily activities of this program are assigned
to the Project Manager, Deputy Project Manager, discipline managers, Safety Manager,
Project Superintendent(s), and Foremen.
This program will be utilized in conjunction
with the Site-Specific Safety Plan as required by
the Contract with the Port and the Employee
Safety & Health Handbook/Code of Safe Work
Practices provided to each SFI employee and
subcontractor on the Project.
Site-Specific Safety Plan
The Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) will be
developed to address the specific safety issues
on the GDB Project. Topics to be covered in
the SSSP include but are not limited to:
Hazardous waste operations
Contaminated soils
Emergency action plan
Confined space program
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Drug and alcohol testing
Aerial Lifts
Traffic control and flagging
Earthquake safety

The SSSP will also include a Code of Safe Practices.
Responsible Person (8 CCR 3202 (A)
(1))
SFI has designated Mr. Wilson, the Safety Manager, as the Responsible Person for the IIPP. It
is the responsibility of the Safety Manager and
Project Manager to implement the IIPP. In
addition, the Project Manager, Superintendent(s) and Foremen have the job site responsibility for enforcement of the program.
The duties of the Responsible Person are to:
Establish a procedure for clearly communicating SFIs safety and health rules and procedures to employees.
Identify and evaluate workplace hazards and
implement procedures for investigating
occupational injuries and illnesses.
Establish and/or review methods and procedures for correcting unsafe and unhealthy
conditions and work practices.
Provide employee training on general and
specific safety and health practices.
Maintain records on training, inspections,
and corrective measures, as required by the
IIPP and other Cal/OSHA required programs in accordance with Title 8 CCR.
1.1.6.3 Highway and Bridge

Safety
All SFI employees who will encroach upon or
conduct work within the Caltrans ROW will be
trained in highway safety. We will obtain
Caltrans approval for access rights and provide
flaggers and traffic control devices when workers are working next to live traffic. Our policy
is to protect all workers on freeways by placing
K-rail between the traffic and workers.

SFI team members have broad experience

working on highway and bridge projects in California. All workers will receive extensive safety
training and specialized training for unique construction circumstances such as fall protection
and working in confined space. Locally, we
have logged many safe hours of operation on
highway and bridge projects over live traffic.
Our Safety Manager or other assigned safety
staff will perform an inspection at the end of
each working day to identify and correct any
unsafe conditions before crews leave the site.
Safety of Workers
In order to maintain the safety of all of our

workers, SFI will:
Perform regular safety reviews for design
and construction activities.
Conduct regular safety training at daily tool
box meetings.
Carry out safety inspections at all levels of
management.
Reward employee behavior and safety
through our proven safety incentive program.
Audit all subcontracted work as part of our

Public & Traffic Safety
Before each new work activity, the construction
management staff will prepare a Job Hazards
Analysis (JHA) identifying the specific hazards
for both the construction worker and the public. We understand that the construction work is
a risk to the traveling public, pedestrians and
local tenants.
For example, to safely maintain ingress/egress
for materials (ready-mix concrete, steel rebar
cages, structural steel, etc.) delivered to the site,
SFI will prepare plans to provide proper transition lanes to deliver the materials. As part of our
partnering activities, we will review these plans
with the Port, Caltrans, and third parties.
Port & Other Stakeholders
will solicit input into our temporary traffic

detours and maintenance of traffic to ensure
safe operations before lane closures and traffic
switches.
When working within the easements provided
by the Port, we will coordinate with the tenants
the times we will use these easements to further
minimize the impacts to their businesses and
keep at least one access route to each tenant
open at all times.
During critical construction activities, we will
notify the affected tenants and work with them
to mitigate any possible events that may affect
their property or employees.
We will coordinate with the Port and local businesses and tenants before starting any new construction that may impact them.
Other Contractors
SFI is aware that there are many nearby construction projects that may impact the GDB
Project. We will coordinate with all of the contractors who will be working on Port and
Caltrans projects (per Book 2, Section 1.3.4) to
ensure that our work activity does not adversely
affect access to their projects. We will also make
sure to coordinate our staging plans so that they
do not create any issues to the traveling public.
Security
SFI will coordinate with

all affected stakeholders
in preparing our specific
JHA for each construction activity.
For example, we will
coordinate construction
within the Ports maintenance facility ROW to
ensure that we keep the
building and the
employees safe.
We will coordinate with
the Port, Caltrans and
stakeholders before
starting new construction activities.
During construction, we
will provide security to
protect the site from
vandalism and theft of
materials.
We will work closely
with the Ports security
and their CCTV system
to monitor the site when
construction crews are
not present. Please see

1.1.7.4 Assistance Programs

SFI will seek to compress the learning curve for
any DBE/UDBE firm by offering them the
opportunity for personal assistance. Each
DBE/ UDBE firm will be assigned to an SFI

representative who will work directly with the
SFI DBE/UDBE Liaison Officer to provide
technical support. SFI will provide highly participatory programs where subcontractors can
take the next big step by providing independent
evaluations of technical job tasks. Each subcontracting opportunity will be followed by a
meeting to reinforce effective use of technique
and recommend ways to enhance skill development. Whether a DBE/ UDBE firm is in the
initial stages of formalizing training efforts or
looking to augment an existing training plan,
SFI can provide significant help in achieving
goals with the extension of participation in our
training regimens. Financial assistance may be
offered on a case-by-case basis. In addition, SFI
will encourage eligible DBE/ UDBEs to apply
for certification with Caltrans.
