3 Emergency Roadway Response: this program provides engineering response for emergency or hazardous situations within the Citys rightofway that require engineering assessment. This may include evaluation of City infrastructure impacted by natural disasters or other emergency situations.The section also oversees the permanent restoration of damaged infrastructure developing development of plans specifications and estimates for landslide restoration retaining walls sinkhole repair pavement restoration and other repairs necessitated by storm damage.

TrafficCapitalProjects

The Traffic Capital Projects (TCP) prepares complete design documents which include the preparation of plans specifications and cost estimates for project bids and award for construction. Our main tools for production are comprised of design manual compliance and standards (City & Caltrans); Software that include AutoCAD Civil3D AGl32 for lighting analysis Synchro for traffic timing. TCP also provides design services for other sections that include the Planning section and the Neighborhood Traffic Safety section for roadway safety projects. Projects are typically roadway safety access and circulation improvements that are mostly federally and locally funded. In our team we do Civil/Transportation design comprised of Roadway Geometry Traffic Signal Pedestrian and Bicycle safety devices and the Citys Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) design.

CompleteStreetsPaving&Sidewalks

Complete Streets Paving & Sidewalks produces plans specifications and estimates (PS&E)for pavement rehabilitation and pavement maintenance projects including design of curb ramps signage and striping and pavement treatment. The teams workplan follows the adopted 2022 5Year Paving Plan which prioritizes an equitable prioritization of paving in underserved neighborhoods along with curb ramps and sidewalks prioritization plans.
