RE: Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering Services for the City of Orange
Dear Mr. Tay:
AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is responding to the City of Orange's Request for Proposal for On -Call Traffic Engineering
Services. This proposal is based on previous projects AGA staff has completed for the City and our extensive
experience providing on -call traffic engineering services for many agencies in Southern California.
AGA was founded in 2020 by Mr. Chalap K. Sadam, P.E., T.E., former Vice President at Albert Grover & Associates.
The new company was formed after the recent. passing of the founder and CEO, Mr. Albert Grover. Mr. Sadam, along
with Mr. Grover and Mr. Mark H. Miller, was a co-founder of Albert Grover & Associates, which was formed in 1993.
As a part of Albert Grover & Associates, the team worked together successfully providing engineering services to
various cities and counties throughout Southern Califomia. Many of the senior and professional staff members of
Albert Grover & Associates are now part of AGA Engineers, bringing with them all their collective professional
engineering qualifications, expertise and experience. Although we are technically:a new company with a new name
and new owner, as a team we have been established since 1993. This allows us to. continue to provide the culture,
policies, financial stability and appropriate work environment for our employees to continue to serve our clients
successfully.
We are a full -service traffic engineering consulting firm whose engineering staff has been providing on -call traffic
engineering and field support services to municipalities for nearly 30 years. We have the ability to provide all traffic
and transportation engineering services the City may need in an expeditious and cost-effective manner. AGA can
provide the City with assistance in the areas of traffic signal design, various types of traffic studies and analyses, plan
checking services, grant application support and project administration, traffic signal and communications design, ITS
design, traffic signal timing and coordination studies, traffic counts and data collection, and other associated traffic
engineering services.
AGA's key staff members are seasoned professionals who have worked for public agencies which provides them with
a unique understanding of the desires and needs of a city so that we "get it right" the first time. The attached proposal
describes the AGA team's traffic, transportation and civil engineering knowledge and background, highlights our

designed and installed various Intelligent' Transportation System (ITS) elements including CCTV cameras,_fiber optic

engineers and technicians don't just monitor. and maintain .traf a signal systems and timing. Our staff is trained to

the utilization of today's most sophisticated computer -aided equipment by highly skilled and talented
professional engineers. and technicians, AGA is able to provide its clients with quality, cost-effective,
professional services in a timely manner. Our success can be attributed to our commitment to provide clients
with personalized, quality service. AGA's services are not just routine, but rather the application of
experience and knowledge to first properly identify a problem, then provide the most appropriate and cost-
effective solution. Each project is unique and carried out with the highest degree of pride and professionalism
with a- dedication to satisfy the client's -needs. We offer professional services ranging from the planning and
conceptual design stage through the construction supervision and "as -built' stage, placing us among the
forerunners in the full -circle service concept.
AGA's wide range of services offered can be divided into six primary areas of expertise: traffic engineering,
day-to-day traffic signal operations, transportation planning, civil engineering/construction management,
communication and operational control of traffic signal systems, and actual onsite City Traffic Engineer
staffing. While we are well known and respected for our work in all six of these areas, we are perhaps best
known for our widespread knowledge and experience in the field of design and multijurisdictional traffic signal
coordination. It should also benoted that AGA operates over 400 traffic signals on behalf of four jurisdictions
in Southern California. Those 'traffic signals are remotely monitored and controlled from the Traffic
Management Center located in AGA's Fullerton office.
AGA personnel, of whom are former governmental employees, have provided services to clients ranging
from design and construction.management of full freeway interchanges at costs exceeding a million dollars,
to minor traffic impact studies costing only a few thousand dollars. Whatever the project, our management
approach is to complete the project to the satisfaction of the client in as quick a time frame as possible while
still producing quality work products. The AGA approach to the provision of professional services and
projects is to do more than simply provide labor or prepare design plans and study reports — we actually
improve traffic operations and safety in everything we touch. AGA's unique blend of Civil Engineers, Traffic
Engineers, and skilled traffic signal system and communications technicians provides a synergy which
results in successful projects beyond client expectations.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
:Roland ii'�raau; er
Serifar PigJeet Fngi4eer
'PauArte etrigiiam_
ErrgFneerirtgAFife71
We believe that the most effective way to practice municipal traffic engineering is to have seasoned senior
level staff members be hands-on in the assessment and direction of work tasks. It is more efficient and cost
effective to have an experienced traffic engineer who can quickly observe and assess situations -on -site to
provide the City with quick and accurate advice or to set a course of study or design. Many other firms rely
on junior or mid -level staff to attend meetings, speak with constituents, conduct field investigations, and set
direction on designs or studies, while senior level staff primarily remain in the office in more of a contract
management or oversight role. Such an arrangement can have an initial low cost but typically results in
delays, less than optimum design, a lack of innovation,. and rework costing significantly more in the long
term. We approach municipal traffic engineering by getting our senior experienced staff out of the office to
interact with City staff and the public to quickly get to the root of safety, planning, design, or operational
issues and concerns. By putting our best and most experienced people front and center, issues and
concerns are quickly addressed and good decisions can be made without the need for delay for less
experienced staff to research or study the problem or potential solutions.

Project and Work Task Management
Strong results -oriented leadership 'is a key element of AGA's project management approach to fully
leverage the expertise and experience of our team members. As such, Mr. Sadam will be responsible for
the daily management of work tasks and servcies provided to the City and he will direct staff in their duties.
He will arrangelchair all formal meetings that are required as a part of work tasks peformed on behalf of the
City, and he will make any and all required presentations to the City Council, City staff, other agencies, and
the public. Both he and Mr. Hizon will be responsible for adherence to deadlines and project schedules, as
well as maintaining quality control of all work products. They will do everything necessary to ensure that
project assignments are completed on time, within budget, and in a manner which fulfills the. goals and
objectives of the City.
For each work task or project provided to AGA by the City, Mr. Sadam will conduct a project kick-off
meeting where the project objectives, priorities and specific schedule will be finalized and any relevant
documents and/or information will be obtained from the City. He will also discuss the specifics of the
approach and performance Tof the work with the purpose of gaining any additional insight from City staff in
order to efficiently and appropriately conduct the work requested. In most cases as the work progresses, it
will be typical that a written synopsis of the work completed will be provided once a month along with a
billing summary. As necessary, Mr. Sadam will communicate either by phone, e-mail, or in person key
findings and outcomes of the work so City staff is apprised of the progress and can provide input as
needed. Once the work is complete, the final work products will be submitted and Mr. Sadam will be
prepared to present the work, if need be, to staff and other interested parties. Once the work project
submittal is finalized and accepted by the City, the final billing summary will be prepared and the project or
work task will be closed out.
Balancing Practical Engineering with Creativity and Innovation
AGNs approach to providing traffic engineering and transportation services involves far more than simply
providing contract labor on an hourly basis. We consider it our function to serve as an extension of City
staff and expert advisors, forming an integrated team to creatively provide solutions to traffic engineering
and transportation planning problems. While Mr. Sadam will provide the majority of the advice and
expertise required, our entire staff will be available and on -call at all times to serve the City. This includes
not only scheduled meetings at City Hall or off -site, but also attendance at lunch-time or evening meetings
with businesses or the public as required. Staff members will also be available to conduct field
investigations, traffic studies and analyses as needed.
Unlike most engineering work, which is highly regimented with standards and requirements, traffic
engineering is much more focused on human behavior. It is commonplace for politicians and the public to
have an emotional investment not only with the outcome of traffic investigations and studies, but also the
process by which the work is conducted. Therefore, our experienced senior level staff can clearly articulate
to our assistant and associate level staff what needs to be done, actively direct staff in performing the work,
and communicate progress regularly to the City and the public as appropriate. In all of our communications,
be it written or orally, we strive to communicate clearly to serve both City staff and the public alike. It is this
clear communication of our progress, findings/results, and recommendations which eliminate issues and
problems that cause inefficient project delays and rework.

Engineers, Inc.
DocuSign Envelope ID: FE6F5AF4-A6AA-4F09-A271-41FAE42187E2
Another key factor in providing services to the City is to stay attuned to both the overall direction and the
specific requirements of City staff and the City Council. Utilizing our team's extensive experience in
providing similar services to other cities and our staffs knowledge of our client's standards, technical
preferences and practices, we can avoid recommending strategies and solutions which are not viable.
Because of our team's attendance and presentations at local professional organization meetings, and at
national meetings such as at the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) conferences, we bring fresh
ideas and best practices to the City for consideration. We pride ourselves on being aware of state-of-the-art
traffic engineering approaches and methodologies and how they could be applied. By combining our local
and national knowledge of the latest products and approaches in the traffic engineering industry, we can
optimize the service we provide to the City.
Our knowledge of and sensitivity to public needs and concerns, combined with our real world (as opposed
to textbook) approach to safety issues, will ensure that alternative solutions to specific problems can be
achieved, while at the same time compromising neither safety nor public needs and desires.
Traffic and Transportation Plan Checking
AGA planners and engineers have produced countless traffic impact study reports and design plans of
large and small-scale developments for public and private sector clients across Southern California.
Having conducted such studies and engineering design plans gives us a _unique perspective on the most
efficient way to review; analyze and comment on work conducted by others. This vast experience will in
turn provide the City, with quality reviews where every aspect of the work is considered In a cost efficient
and timely manner.

Roles and Responsibilities of Key Personnel
Mr. Sadam, our proposed Project Manager, will be available in person to the City Engineer and City staff
and he will attend all meetings as requested by the City Engineer. He will also make all presentations to
political bodies, agencies, and the public as necessary to inform, advice, and articulate the City's position
on traffic and transportation matters. In order to provide the City with the most efficient and effective traffic
engineering service, AGA has also identified key senior staff members who will be responsible for each of
the "work -types". Mr. Sadam will remain the responsible engineer for the day-to-day direction of all work
conducted under the contract; however, he will be supported by the following individuals in the completion
of work assigned by the City:

Company's Additional Traffic Engineering Services Available to the City
In addition to the typical professional traffic engineering services requested by the City, we would like to
highlight additional specialty areas that set our company apart from other traffic engineering firms providing
on -call services. These specialty areas are outlined below and can be a part of the services provided to the
City under the proposed contract.
Traffic Signal System Monitoring and Support Services: A popular service the AGA Team provides to a
number of public agencies is real-time monitoring of a City's traffic signal system and its traffic signal timing
performance. For several years, we have monitored and operated traffic signal and camera systems from
our Traffic Management Center (TMC) located within our Fullerton office. AGA's contractual responsibilities
include daily monitoring of signal operations, updating and fine-tuning signal timing, and responding to
construction activities, emergencies, and citizen complaints. Development, implementation and
maintenance of coordination timing plans are critical to optimizing the efficiency of the existing
infrastructure. Since traffic patterns change when construction or additional development occurs,
adjustments to timing plans are often required. Only by frequent monitoring of traffic operations can these
timing plans be kept current.
In addition to AGA's expert traffic engineering staff, the company also employs several experienced traffic
signal technicians who can troubleshoot and repair complex communications and traffic signal timing
problems. These technicians are highly skilled and well versed on all types of traffic signal control hardware
Page 8
Ens1Aeers,.lnc.
DocuSign Envelope ID: FE6F5AF4-A6AA-4F09-A271-41FAE42187E2
and systems, video equipment and control systems, communications, networking, and security systems.
AGA can tailor a traffic signal monitoring and support services arrangement with the City to assist staff in
keeping its traffic signal system functioning at its best and safe from cyber-attack.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
An effective quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) review will minimize or eliminate additional costs.to
the City related to reengineering or contractor claims during construction and liability after project
completion. Delivering a quality product that is right the first time is the primary_ focus of AGA's
comprehensive QA/QC process. It is an integral part of our regular engineering design and study processes
and the delivery of every investigation, study, report, or document we produce. This added layer of
independent work product review will be conducted at no additional cost to the City.
Our QA/QC, program requires that all deliverables leaving our office be reviewed prior to submittal to the
client. All personnel performing work on this project are responsible to ensure its implementation. We have
the philosophy that QA/QC is a continuous process to be utilized on plan preparation. from conceptual
design to final PS&E, as well as when conducting various other professional engineering tasks. Our
technical staff is trained. to always. review work products prior to finalization. Our experienced QC Manager,
will conduct an objective review of the work product. When several disciplines are involved in a project, the
QC Manager may also seek review assistance from other individuals specializing in those disciplines to
verify that all project concepts are being met and all constructability issues are addressed prior to delivery
of the project.
COMPARABLE WORK FOR OTHER AGENCIES
The AGA approach to on -call professional services and projects is to do more than simply provide labor or
prepare design plans and traffic signal timing — we actually improve traffic operations and safety in
everything we touch. AGA is not a company that simply provides engineering labor to complete client
designated tasks; rather, AGA provides a high level of intellectual support. to accomplish client objectives.
AGA's unique blend of Civil Engineers, Traffic Engineers, and skilled traffic signal system and
communications technicians provides a synergy resulting in successful projects where other consulting
firms have faltered or failed. Typically, our team's completed projects result in success beyond client
expectations.
The AGA Team has extensive experience in providing similar services to other cities throughout Southern
California. The following is list of governmental agencies for which AGA staff has provided professional
traffic engineering and design services similar to those which have been, requested by the City of Orange,

Relevant Experience
Master Plan Protects
Chalap K. Sadam, PE, TE
President
Mr. Sadam started his career in 1990 as a Transportation Engineer with MGA, a
municipal and traffic/transportation engineers. In 1993 he joined Albert Grover &
Associates, Inc., as a Senior Transportation Engineer and founding member of the
company. He provides our team with an extensive educational background in Civil,
Traffic, and Transportation Engineering, as well as a Master's degree in Business
Administration. In 2002, he began serving as Vice President of the firm, focusing on
business development, client management, team leadership, and project
management. "Do the right thing —provide value to the client —be passionate about
projects" are standards which guide his business and project decisions. In 2020, Mr.
Sadam founded AGA Engineers, Inc.
During his tenure, Mr. Sadam has performed traffic studies, feasibility studies, safety
studies; Major Investment Studies, long-term roadway improvement studies, and
transportation -related Master Plan studies for countless cities and counties
throughout Southern California. Under his direction, plans for a Major Investment
Study -and subsequent PSR/PDS and PA/ED for the 1-405 Freeway (SR-73 to 1-605)
were completed with significant attention to detail. Those plans were subsequently
used to implement the freeway widening and interchange improvements.
More recently, he has become well-known for his studies involving Regional Traffic
Signal Synchronization Programs (RTSSP), working effectively to promote
multijurisdictional cooperation between State (Caltrans), county, and city entities to
synchronize traffic signals for multiple major corridors in Orange County, Los Angeles
County and the San Bernardino Valley. Mr. Sadam is a recognized expert of traffic
signal communications, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Traffic Management
Centers, centralized traffic signal systems and video management systems.
Mr. Sadam's ability to bring together diverse governmental agencies was
demonstrated in 2016 during OCTA's Antonio Parkway Regional Traffic Signal
Synchronization. Project. Under his direction, AGA engineers and technicians provided
plans and expertise for a multi -agency agreement to share infrastructure,
communications, and operational expenses between the City of Rancho Santa
Margarita, the County of Orange, and Caltrans' District 12, saving each entity millions
of dollars in installation and operational costs.
In addition to his expertise and technical acumen, which ensure successful projects,
our clients most appreciate his commitment to establish the most effective and
