1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The subject project consists of streetscape enhancements on Rosemead Boulevard, to improve
safety and aesthetics within the Temple City right-of-way over approximately 2 miles of road,
from the southern city limit with the City of Rosemead at the UPRR railroad bridge, to the
northern city limit with the County of Los Angeles at Callita Street. As we understand, in general
the project features include the following;
• Removal and replacement of existing sidewalks, asphalt pavement, concrete
pavements, curb and gutters, curb ramps and existing short retaining walls
• Construction of localized decorative pavements and crosswalks
• Removal and replacement of drains and installation of new drain system
• Installation of new irrigation system lines
+ Improvement of underground utilities
• InstaIlation of traffic signals and traffic signs
• Construction of Bus Shelter
+ Median Hardscape
• Installation and improvement of street and pedestrian lightning
The estimated duration of the project is 16 to 18 months and the engineer's estimate for this
project is about $13M to $15M.
It is our understanding that we will perform as an independent consultant and on an as -needed
basis, as required by the City of Temple's (City) Project Manager. GAI will provide the Project
Resident Inspector (RI) for the project. The introduced RI will work on an as -needed basis with
the assumption of working full time for the majority of the construction duration, i.e. 16 to 18
months. The main role of the RI is to assure the City about the compliance of the delivered
project with the required and applicable codes and standards. In this regard the inspector is
required to conduct all the works and prepare all the documentation in accordance with the
provisions of Caltrans' latest Local Assistant Procedures Manual (LAPM) and the 2009
Greenbook Standard Plans and Specifications. The inspector will manage all the inspection
services at the site and will coordinate for all necessary on-site special inspection services that
should be conducted through materials testing firm.
