Projects included the redesign of pedestrian walkways and parking lot

areas on the Cal-Poly campus for ADA compliance. Our assignment

was to prepare PS&Es for several projects that are part of an ongoing

effort by Cal-Poly to improve campus accessibility for disabled students, faculty, and visitors. The services provided included topographic

surveys; ADA evaluations of existing features; design plans for ADA

compliant walkways, ramps, parking lots, and other features; quantity calculations and estimates; and

demolition plans.

The project involved an on-call contract with the City of San Bernardino to provide traffic engineering services. Our responsibilities included working closely with the city engineer, city traffic engineer, and other city staff as required for engineering projects. The City of San Bernardino has called upon us to provide signal design services, traffic impact studies, and circulation plans at various locations throughout the City

On-Call Traffic Engineering Contract, San Bernardino, CA

The project was to prepare designs to accommodate the signal modification,

delineation and signing, for street improvements and upgrades to the

intersection of Mount Vernon Avenue at Fifth Street (S.R. 66) in the City of San

Bernardino. This project was contracted by the San Bernardino Redevelopment

Corporation in conjunction with the San Bernardino Public Works Department.

The project included signal modification plans for upgrading the existing signal to a full 8-phase operation. Improvements to the northwest curb return were also

designed that would accommodate existing drainage features while increas-

ing the curb return radius for turning trucks. ADA ramps were also designed and/or upgraded as part of this project.

Mount Vernon Ave at Fifth St (SR 66), San Bernardino, CA


Yum Yum Restaurant, 541 N D St, San Bernardino, CA

The contract provided engineering and surveying services for a $200,000

renovation of the Yum Yum Restaurant in San Bernardino. The

renovation was undertaken in 2011 in order to bring the 60-year old

structure into compliance with current Americans with Disability Act (ADA)

requirements for public buildings. Our office designed ADA

improvements to the interior of the restaurant that included access ramps,

service counters and booths, employee areas, and bathrooms. Exterior improvements included

ADA-compliant walkways, ramps, signage, and parking lots.

San Bernardino County Assessment District 91-1 (Sugarloaf), San Bernardino County, CA

We were retained to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the traffic conditions in the Sugarloaf area and provided proactive measures to mitigate the potential for serious traffic accidents in a large residential subdivision. The study evaluated 73 intersections on 23 newly paved roadways in the assessment district, which had previously been unimproved. Our efforts included field evaluations of each intersection and roadway for available sight-distance, traffic levels, prevailing speeds, signage and other important traffic engineering considerations. The assignment was to provide recommendations for right-of-way controls, signage, speed zoning, and intersection visibility. Our office also developed implementation priorities for the recommendations to help district officials prioritize funding of the improvements.
