San Bernardino, CA 92418-000 I
Reference: 4th Street Landscape and Street Improvements Proposal
Dear Robert:
RCE Consultants, Inc. is pleased to submit herewith our proposal to provide professional
engineering services for the captioned project. We understand that the City wishes to
design and construct landscaping to screen the BNSF truck facility on 4th Street from the
adjaceQ.t residential community.and improve the air quality in the area.
The following scope of services has been prepared based on our review of the site
conditions, discussions with you and our understanding of the requirements of the project.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
1. Topographic Survey:
As we have already surveyed a portion of the project area, specifically, from
the 5th Street! 4th Street intersection to Tia Juana Street; the additional
design survey required for the new project area will include:
· Half-street cross-sections of 4th Street (south half) every 25' for a
total length of2,4oo' linear feet from Tia Juana Street to the end of
the cul-de-sac at Mt. Vernon Avenue. The points collected at each
cross-section will include centerline, edge of concrete roadbed, lip
of gutter, flow-line, top of curb and right-of-way.
· Top of curb only, every two hundred feet (200') on the north side
curb.
· Trees on the south side of the street, the edges and flow-line of the
existing drainage swale on the south side at the end of the cuI-de
..

sac, underground utility surface features, light poles and one
driveway.
· The back of sidewalk at the end of the cul-de-sac and the two
existing fences.
2. Existing Facility Research:
RCE will research the overall project area, contact the local utility
companies for existing facility maps and procure available street record
drawings from the City. We will also request record maps for the project
area.
3. Base Map Preparation:
Based on the data procured during the research phase, we will prepare the
project base map. This will include the street right-of-way, existing
underground and overhead utilities, existing trees and existing curbs.
Existing easements depicted on final maps will be plotted; however, this
proposal assumes no additional easement research. This proposal assumes
that title reports confirming ownership will not be provided and are
therefore excluded from this scope of work.
4. Preliminary Design:
RCE will utilize the base map and the previously prepared traffic calming
median layout at the BNSF trucking facility entrance to prepare a plan view
drawing of the proposed median alterations and the new curb and gutter
along 4lh street to the end of the existing cul-de-sac. This preliminary
drawing will be at a scale of I " = 20' for City review and approval. The plan
will show the lane widths, transitions, striping, median dimensions and area
to be landscaped. As requested, all improvements will be limited to the
south side of the street. Also, no intersection improvements will be
required. Two iterations of changes and re-submittals are included in this
phase of the work.
Upon approval by the City of the preliminary layout described above we
will prepare a preliminary landscape planting plan. We anticipate
approximately 57,000 square feet oflandscape area in this project We will
meet with the City and project stakeholders to determine the appropriate
2010-374
4'.ti Street Landscape and St~et Improvements Prop~sal
. October 11,2010

..
&: ::Consultants, Inc.
types of trees for the project. We will also meet with BNSF to discuss the
proposed landscaping before proceeding to final design. One iteration of
landscape changes and re-submittal is included in this phase. As an aid to
visualization of the proposed project, we will prepare two colored exhibits
showing the new landscaping viewed from both 4'h street and from Mount
Veroon A venue.
5. Final Design:
Upon approval of the preliminary landscape planting plan and authorization
by the City to proceed, we will prepare the final construction documents.
These will include:
. Title Sheet (1 sheet)
. Street Improvement Plans, 3,100 linear feet (4 sheets@ 1"=40')
. Median plan (1 shee~ at 1 "=20')
. Striping plan, 3,750 linear feet (2 sheets at I" = 40')
. Planting plan, 3, I 00 linear feet (3 sheets @ 1"=20')
. Irrigation plan, 3, I 00 linear feet (3 sheets @ 1 "=20')
. Landscape details (2 sheets)
Note: Some of the above listed sheets have been prepared previously,
but will be altered to suit this project.
6. Cost Estimate:
Upon completion of the preliminary design and final construction drawings,
RCE will prepare engineer's estimates of probable construction cost for
submittal to the City.
7. Deliverables:
RCE will deliver three (3) copies of the preliminary design drawings and
three (3) copies of the 9()01o complete drawings to the City for review and
comment. We will incorporate City review comments, finalize the plans and
submit one set of the 100% complete drawings on 24" x 36" mylar signed
by a California registered Civil Engineer. and a California registered
Landscape Architect.
