..CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Requests for letters of interest, in providing the
necessary professional design services, in connection with
widening the Kendall Drive Bridge over Cable Creek, were sent to
the 41 civil engineering firms within the City limits.
Thirteen (13) letters of interest were received in
reponse to these requests. The letters of interest were reviewed
by a team comprised of representatives from the Mayor's Office,
Council Office, County Flood Control District and Public Works
Department. The following five (5) firms were selected by this
team to receive Requests for Proposals:
1. PBQ & D, Inc.
2. DMJM
3. Lim & Nascimento Engineers
4. Martin & Kane, Inc.
5. URS/Griener Engineering
These five (5) firms were interviewed on 11-19-96, by a
cornrni ttee with representatives from the Council Office, County
Flood Control District and Public Works Department. After
carefully reviewing the proposals and interviewing the represent-
atives, the committee determined that DMJM was the best qualified
at this tiMe to provide the desired services.
The proposed agreement for professional services
provides, in general, that DMJM will prepare the necessary plans,
specifications and estimate necessary for widening the Kendall
Drive bridge to provide four (4) traffic lanes. Compensation for
these services will be for actual costs incurred, not to exceed
$85,460.00.
All costs incurred for the services provided pursuant to
this agreement will be charged to the $300,000 allocated under
Account No. 129-367-5504-7068.
We recommend that the agreement be approved.

Scope of Services
PROJECT: KENDALL BRIDGE WIDENING
PREUMINARY
Data Collection . Research will be conducted to determine the locations of existing and
proposed utilities, the location of existing and proposed Right of Way, and obtain copies of plans
or documents that may have relevance to the design of the bridge, channel and road transitions.
Surveys - A field survey will be performed to obtain definition of existing topographic conditions
within the Project area to enable the design of the bridge, channel and road transitions, as
follows:
. establish the centerline of Kendall Drive and the centerline of Cable Creek (as horizontal
control for bridge placement)
. cross section Kendall Drive 500 feet on both sides of the existing bridge (SO-foot interval)
. cross section Cable Creek 200 feet above and below the existing bridge (SO-foot interval)
. locate surface utility features (including dipping sewer manholes, etc.)
Geotechnical Investigations - Field testing will be performed to provide design criteria in
accordance with Caltrans procedures. The report will include foundation recommendations,
scour and seismic design parameters. A design for the Kendall Drive pavement section will also
be determined.
BRIDGE
Preliminary DeslgnlDraft Plans . The existing bridge will not be analyzed for adequacy or
compliance with current design standards. The widened portion of the bridge will be designed in
accordance with the latest design criteria and standards established by the Califomia Department
of Transportation (Caltrans). However, there will not be compliance with CaItrans full bridge
review procedures. Preliminary plans (65% complete) will be submitted to the City for inter-
agency coordination and comments.
Final Design end PSllrE - Comments received on preliminary design will be incorporated in the
final design. The final design will culminate with a completed set of plans, quantity calculations,
cost estimates, design and quantity check calculations, and special provisions to be incorporated
in specifications. The specifications will make reference to applicable Caltrans Standard
Specifications and be augmented by the above mentioned special provisions.
Pagel
e
e
e
CML
Preliminary
Channel Improvement Plans - A plan will be prepared to indicate Cable Creek improvements
required. The improvements will be limited to that which is necessary to transition from the
existing channel to the widened bridge section and back to existing, with appropriate provisions
for scour protection.
Roadway Approach Plans - A plan and profile will be prepared to indicate Kendall Drive
improvements required to accommodate the widened bridge. The bridge width will be based on
the ultimate development of Kendall Drive as a Major Highway. Approach tapers will be
designed for a 55-mph design speed. Pavement removaVreplacement and widening will be
delineated as wall as signage and striping.
Compoalte Utility Plans - A composite utility plan will be prepared showing all utility locations
as per record information. Any deviations from record information as measured in the field will
be so noted on the plan. The disposition of each utility will be specified as it relates to the
construction of all Project related improvements. Copies of the plan will be supplied to all utility
purveyors within the Project area to facilitate relocations by others where necessary. If a City
sewer main needs to be relocated, a plan and profile will be prepared by DMJM to define its
relocation. If a City water line needs to be relocated, DMJM will coordinate with the City Water
Department as a separate item of work.
Final
QuantitieS/Coats - Upon completion of the plans for Final Submittal. an estimate of
construction quantities and costs will be prepared and submitted to the City.
Technical Specifications - Technical Specifications will be prepared based on Caltrans Specs
for bridge construction and The Green Book for the remaining general construction. The City will
incorporate these Technical Specifications into their standard boiler plate which covers all non-
technical sections.
Final Submittal - Once the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates have completed the agency
review process and received City approval, submittal of final documents will occur. This will
include mylar originals of plans and hard copies as well as electronic file copies of Technical
Specifications and Estimates.
