RE: Cost Proposals to Provide Construction Management and Inspection Services for the City of
Cupertino’s Wilson Park Basketball Court and Community Garden Projects.
Dear Mr. Do:
4LEAF, Inc. (4LEAF) appreciates the opportunity to submit our Cost Proposals to provide Construction
Management (CM) and Inspection services for the City of Cupertino’s (“City”) Wilson Park Basketball
Court and Community Garden projects. We are submitting separate cost proposals for each project;
however, our estimated levels of effort to provide these services assumes that the two projects will be
in construction at the same general time, and this will provide an economy of scale and allow 4LEAF to
use the same staff for both projects.
Attachment A consists of our cost proposal for the Basketball Court Project and Attachment B consists
of our cost proposal for the Community Garden Project. Each cost proposal provides a detailed
breakdown of our estimated level of effort and includes the following general assumptions:
One, part-time Construction Manager at an average of 2 hours per day (1 hr per day for each
project) during concurrent construction phases which we have assumed at 45 working days.
One, full-time Construction Inspector at 8 hours per day (4 hrs per day per project) at the regular
time rate and 1 hr per day (0.5 hr per day per project) at the overtime rate for the assumed 45
working days.
Per the City’s request, we have included costs from Butano Geotechnical to perform soils testing
for the Basketball Court Project based on the recommendations outlined in their Geotechnical
Investigation – Design Phase Report dated October 18, 2021. Butano’s costs for performing the
soils testing and observations assumes the City selects Bid Alternative No. 1 (lime treatment of
existing site soils vs. over excavation and placement of engineered fill). Despite 4LEAF's request,
Butano did not provide a separate cost estimate for the scenario of the Base Bid being chosen
by the City (i.e. over excavation of site soils and importing, placing, and compacting engineered
fill in the area beneath the basketball court). Per Butano, the estimate they provided "is based
on observing and testing for the lime treatment option. The removal and replace option would
be slightly less."
No special inspections or materials testing will be required for the Community Garden Project.

Our cost proposal does not include budget for detailed or in-depth labor compliance monitoring
services. If necessary, we can request a written cost proposal for these services from our
subconsultant, Contractor Compliance & Monitoring (CCMI). 4LEAF staff will provide
intermittent and cursory reviews of contractor and subcontractor certified payroll information
that is provided with the contractor pay applications.
It is our understanding that the two projects are currently out to bid and the specific start dates and
construction durations are unknown at this time. As a result, we are not able to currently identify the
specific staff who may be assigned to the two projects. Attachment C includes resumes for potential
staff who may be available once the two project start dates have been identified.
4LEAF appreciates the opportunity to provide our cost proposals to the City for these two important
projects. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at (925) 462-5959 or
by e-mail at gbarry@4leafinc.com.
Respectfully Submitted,

Notes:
(a) Assumes project will require compliance with California Prevailing Wage rate requirements under SB 854, and the Client will be required to file a PWC-100 Form to the California Department of Industrial Relations for the
project.
(b) Per the new requirements being enforced under SB 854 and because it is assumed that a PWC-100 Form will be filed by the City to the CA DIR, 4LEAF is required to notify an authorized Apprenticeship Committee through
submittal of a DAS-140 form. We are then required to make an official request to an authorized Apprenticeship Committee for an apprentice by submitting a DAS-142 form. We are not assured the apprenticeship committee will
be able to provide a suitable / qualified apprentice for the project. Per the apprenticeship requirements, the hours worked by the apprentice must be in a ratio of 1:5 for apprentice to journeyman hours. Hours are included as a
placeholder in the event that an apprenticeship for a public works inspector is required and dispatched by the apprenticeship committee. We have assumed the public works apprentice assigned to the project will be classified as
a Period 1 Apprentice as defined by the DIR's Wage Determination dated 8/22. In the event that a higher classification apprentice is assigned to the project, we will contact the City to request a change order for this line item.
(c) 4LEAF staff will be supplied with typical tools of the trade to perform their daily tasks (e.g. cell phone, laptop computer, and PPE).
(f) Per the City's Project Manual issued Nov. 17, 2022, the project must be completed by the selected contractor within 90 calendar days from the start date set forth in the NTP and it is currently assumed that the Work will begin
on or about January 30, 2023 but the anticipated start date is provided soley for convienence. For staffing level of effort purposes, it is assumed that the Wilson Park Basketball Court Project and the Willson Park Community
Garden Project will be under construction concurrently and that 4LEAF's CM and Inspection staff will split their time between the two projects. No contractor schedule was available that provides the estimated duration of the
construction phase was available at the time of this estimate but for cost estimating purposes, we have assumed the construction phase for this project at 45 Working Days. For cost estimating purposes, we have assumed one,
part-time Construction Manager at 1 hour per day during the construction phase (45 working days) and assumes one part-time Construction Inspector for 45 Working Days at 4 hours per day at regular-time rate and 0.5 hours per
day at overtime rate to allow for inspector to complete their daily report and confirmation that contractor has secured the site at the end of each day. Does not include any allowance for additional OT or any nighttime, weekend,
or holiday work. If additional nighttime, weekend, or holiday work is required, the requirements for these hours will be billed in accordance with California Prevailing Wage Law requirements. If construction duration extends past
45 working days or the contractor works more than 8 hours per day during the project, 4LEAF will submit a budget amendment request.
(h) See attached cost proposal from Butano Geotechnical Engineering. Costs for performing soils testing as outlined in Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc.'s Geotechnical Investigation - Design Phase Report dated October 18,
2021 assuming the City selects Bid Alt. No. 1 (lime treatment of existing site soils). Despite 4LEAF's request, Butano did not provide a separate cost estimate for the scenario of the Base Bid being chosen by the City (i.e. over
excavation of site soils and importing, placing, and compacting engineered fill in the area beneath the basketball court). Per Butano, the estimate they provided "is based on observing and testing for the lime treatment option.
The removal and replace option would be slightly less."
(d) Not intended as a Constructibility Review but for 4LEAF staff to review the City's Project Manual and Conformed Set of the project plans and become familiar with the project.
(e) Assumes the City will provide budget for the Project Design Team to remain engaged and available during the pre-construction and construction phase to provide responses to design clarificatons, RFIs, Submittals, etc.
(g) Assumes Community Garden and Basketball Court projects will utilize SharePoint and the City's new PM Software for sharing and storing project files (e.g. RFIs, submittals, change order requests, pay apps, daily reports,
photos, etc.).

Downtown Monterey Road Rehabilitation Project
Senior Construction Inspector
Marty was 4LEAF’s Senior Inspector for this $1.6 million federally-funded roadway rehabilitation project
on Monterey Road between 1st St. and 8th St. The improvements consisted of pavement rehabilitation
and roadway reconstruction; microsurfacing and digout pavement repair; construction of missing and/or
damaged concrete curbs and gutters; and the installation of ADA compliant curb ramps at numerous
intersections within the project limits. Monterey Road is a heavily travelled roadway lined with businesses
and restaurants and required an extensive amount of public outreach to coordinate restaurant deliveries,
drop off and pick-up for two schools that were located one block off Monterey Road, etc. Marty ensured
the business owners on Monterey Road and residents that lived on the surrounding streets received
current construction schedules and were notified of potentially disruptive construction activities. 1st St.
is a Caltrans-operated roadway, so coordination was required with Caltrans to obtain a double permit for
the work near 1st St. As a federally-funded project, Marty and 4LEAF’s Construction Manager ensured
the project met all the requirements outlined in the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).

and-bore methods under existing twin Hetch Hetchy water mains. The construction of the first structure
was 32 feet deep and 22 feet below sea level. Groundwater pumping and dewatering was needed to
stabilize the area prior to pouring the foundation. This structure had 16 chambers and eight openings with
four 84-inch major inlet interceptors and four outlet interceptors. The twin 84-inch sewer mains, going
from structure A to structure B, were installed by a straddle crane 50 feet wide and 70 feet in length. This
major operation required trucks to deliver a single pipe as the straddle crane picked from the truck and
stabbed into place with a bulldozer making grade and stockpiling excess soils. This major interceptor
installation required removing existing utilities and replacing with new communications, water lines,
