WHO WE ARE
Firm Profile (AYCE Consulting Engineers, Inc.)
AYCE Consulting Engineers, Inc. was founded by senior professionals with deep expertise in streets and highway design, multimodal complete streets, and construction management. Established to meet the specific and evolving needs of local agencies throughout Southern California, AYCE provides efficient, context-sensitive design solutions rooted in technical rigor and constructability.
Our two founders—both hands-on Principal Engineers—remain directly engaged in project delivery, ensuring every assignment benefits from senior-level engineering leadership rather than a sales-driven approach. Collectively, they have delivered more than 50 roadway and highway improvement projects, including multimodal corridor enhancements, geometric design, lane additions and ramp improvements, ADA accessibility upgrades, traffic handling plans, drainage and utility design, staging and phasing strategies, and contractor-friendly PS&E and alternative-delivery packages.

Our long-standing relationships with Caltrans, RCTC, OCTA, SBCTA, LA Metro, and numerous local jurisdictions and roadway contractors enable us to anticipate field challenges, address them proactively, and produce plans that support competitive pricing, efficient construction, and on-schedule project delivery.

AYCE Consulting Engineers served as the lead design firm for the Caltrans District 7 SR-210 ADA Ramp Upgrades Design Build Project, a landmark design-build pilot program improving accessibility along 42 miles of State Route 210, extending through the entire Los Angeles County. All design services were provided in-house at AYCE. The project upgraded and reconstructed 264 ADA-compliant ramps, accessible pedestrian signals (APS), pull boxes, and signal poles across 14 jurisdictions, from Sunland Boulevard to San Bernardino County Line. Delivered under the SHOPP ADA program, the effort required extensive roadway, traffic, utility, and signal coordination with cities, utilities, Caltrans Structures, and FHWA.
Under the design-build framework, AYCE accelerated design development, standardized ADA upgrade layouts, and provided rapid response engineering support that helped reduce delivery time by an estimated 18 months compared to traditional design-bid-build. AYCE also prepared Design Standard Decisions Documents, supported permitting, led corridor-wide ADA geometry and cross-slope evaluations, and provided QA/QC consistency under Caltrans’ CEM-5773 inspection standards.
This project now serves as a benchmark for future multi-jurisdiction ADA corridor improvements within Caltrans District 7, demonstrating AYCE’s ability to deliver large-scale ADA, roadway, and pedestrian accessibility programs with technical precision, efficient coordination, and construction-ready solutions.
