Background: Approximately five years ago, the City constructed a cul-de-sac on 4th Street at Mt. Vernon Avenue to discourage the use of 41h Street east of Tiajuana Street by heavy trucks traveling to and from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail yard. The intent was to force the trucks to travel west on 4t Street to Foothill Boulevard (State Route 66) before proceeding east or west. Unfortunately, the closure of the 41h Street connection to Mt. Vernon Avenue did not entirely solve the truck traffic problems. Trucks continued to use the unimproved residential streets northerly and easterly of the BNSF entrance/exit. In order to address the concern, the City entered into an agreement with RCE Consultants, Inc. on February 27, 2009 to design raised medians that would prevent left turns by trucks to or from the BNSF facility on 4th Street. 1 Construction bids were advertised and accepted the work; however, the project was suspended when staff became aware of an opportunity to pursue additional funding for an expanded project to install landscaping along the front of BNSF to help mitigate visual and air quality impacts to the local community from the railroad yard. On October 11, 2010, RCE Consultants, Inc., at the request of staff, submitted an expanded proposal (See Attachment "A") to design additional landscaping and street improvements along the south side of 4th Street between Mt. Vernon Avenue and the BNSF entrance. The scope of the expanded project is as follows: • RCE Consultants, Inc. will conduct two design meetings with City staff and other stakeholders in order to finalize design details. These meetings shall include two color renderings of the proposed design. • Consultant shall provide a design to narrow the roadway on the south side to provide a single lane eastbound from 5th Street to the cul-de-sac near Mt. Vernon Avenue. The space v between the right-of-way line and the new curb will be heavily landscaped to provide a thick screen between 4th Street and the BNSF railroad yard. 1 • Consultant shall investigate the feasibility of including a pedestrian pathway along the south side of 4 1h Street between 5 1h Street and the cul-de-sac near Mt. Vernon Avenue. If feasible, this will be included in the improvement plans. This pathway may take the form of a landscape feature. i 2 11/02/2010 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT - Continued • Consultant shall design a landscaped median island to prevent left turns by large trucks to and from the BNSF facility. • Consultant shall design an irrigation system for the areas to be landscaped. • Consultant shall design a striping plan for 4" Street to match the new median island and lane configuration. • Consultant shall attend a meeting with BNSF to present the planned improvements and solicit their comments before finalizing the design. RCE Consultants, Inc. completed designs for the raised medians at the BNSF entrance pursuant to the February 2009 agreement. Those plans will be modified to meet the requirements of the expanded project. Street design is expected to require about three months followed by construction, which can be completed in four months, depending upon available funding. The fee of $38,800, proposed by RCE Consultants, Inc., is a fair price for the additional work involved. It is recommended that this Amendment be approved for RCE Consultants, Inc. because they have accumulated a significant amount of background information from the previous design contract for 4`h Street. Financial Impact: Sufficient funds in the total amount of $38,800 are available in CIP Project No. SS06-003 "Traffic Calming on 4`h Street at Tiajuana Street & Cabrera Avenue" (Account Nos. 126-160- 5504-7582-0025 and 129-160-5504-7582-0025) to cover the cost of this Amendment. Additional funds are being sought to cover the cost of constructing the expanded project. Accounts: 126-160-5504-7582-0025 Budgeted Amount: $ 3,100 Balance as of 10/26/10: $ 71,405 Balance after the approval of this item: $ 68,305 Accounts: 129-160-5504-7582-0025 Budgeted Amount: $ 35,700 Balance as of 10/26/10: $ 35,700 Balance after the approval of this item: $ 0 Please note this balance does not indicate available funding. It does not include non- encumbered reoccurring expenses or expenses incurred, but not yet processed.

We understand that the City wishes to design and construct landscaping to screen the BNSF truck facility on 4`h Street from the adjacent 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 41h Street(south half) every 25' for a total length of 2,400' 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 cul-de 0' Street Landscape and Street Improvements Proposal October 11, 2010 Page 2 Ll!onsultants, Inc. 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.

This will include the street right-of-way, existing underground and overhead utilities, existing trees and existing curbs.

This proposal assumes that title reports confirming ownership will not be provided and are 3 therefore excluded from this scope of work. 1 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 0' street to the end of the existing cul-de-sac. This preliminary ;l drawing will be at a scale of 1" = 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. i Upon approval by the City of the preliminary layout described above we will prepare a preliminary landscape planting plan.

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`" street and from Mount Vernon Avenue. 5.
