Finance: Council Notes: - Agenda Item No. / :3 i>-3-ott - CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subied: Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with LAN Engineering Corporation for civil engineering design services and project management services for State Street from 16th Street to Foothill Boulevard - extend and construct (4) lanes of roadway (1.5 miles) to connect State Street to Rancho Avenue (SS04-09). Back2round: On June 18,2001, the City executed a contract with SANBAG to utilize $2,005,000 of Federal Highway Surface Transportation Project (STP) funds for the extension of State Street between 5th Street and 16th Street. Because federal funding is involved, the City is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA compliance for the project is subject to both Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) approval. '- On February 4, 2002, an Agreement was executed with Lilburn Corporation in the amount of $61,174 for the preparation of environmental documents needed for compliance with NEPA. Lilburn subsequently completed a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the City's submittal to Caltrans. The environmental process throughCaltrans Local Assistance was not completed as a result of: I) Caltrans requesting additional information; 2) Caltrans change in guidelines; and 3) numerous delays, primarily due to changes in Caltrans personnel assigned to the project. Therefore, the environmental document has become outdated and in need of revision based on Caltrans guidelines. On March 19,2007, Amendment No. I in the amount of $25,000 to Lilburn's Agreement was approved establishing a new scope of work to address the revisions necessary to prepare a new EA. Shortly after approval of Amendment No.1 to Lilburn's Agreement, Caltrans announced that it was revising the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form and that the old form would no longer be accepted. This resulted in a requirement to essentially restart the environmental process, although the previous studies can be reused subject to being updated and/or supplemented. When the new PES form was released in January of 2008, it became apparent that considerable engineering design work would be needed to complete the new PES form. This engineering design work was not in the scope of Lilburn's services and not within its area of expertise. On July 21, 2008, the City entered into a contract in the amount of $827,385 with LAN Engineering to provide detailed engineering work to support the environmental consultant. The scope of services for the contract consisted of project management, records and utility research, alignment study and survey, topographic mapping, bridge structure review, geotechnical -- 2 ""'-" CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT (Continued) investigation, hydrology and hydraulic report, traffic report review, preliminary engineering design and right-of-way needs identification. Unfortunately, managing separate environmental and design consultants proved inefficient and not in the best interest of the project. City staff requested a proposal from LAN Engineering to add to its scope of services processing the environmental document through Caltrans, redesign of the Lytle Creek bridges to meet current standards, supplemental geotechnical studies for the bridge work, updated traffic impact analysis, V alue Analysis including technical staffing, and public presentation graphics. Much of the work done by Lilbum can be reused in the environmental documents to be prepared by LAN Engineering. LAN Engineering's proposal in the not-to-exceed amount of $800,000 for FY 2009/2010 for the additional work was submitted on July 6, 2009, and is attached to Amendment No. 1 as Attachment "A". LAN Engineer has agreed to participate in the City's 5% discount program. Therefore, 5% will be deducted from each of the Consultant's invoices associated with this Amendment. The following is a surrunary of costs incurred to date as a result of this Agreement for Services with LAN Engineering Corporation: "-' Totals Amount $ 827,385.00 $ 800,000.00 $1627,385.00 Although the cost of Amendment No. 1 seems large, these costs must be incurred in order to properly complete environmental clearance through Caltrans and obtain obligation of federal funds. LAN Engineering Corporation is a large, multi-disciplinary engineering firm with a proven track record for efficiently processing complex projects through the Caltrans process. An additional amount of approximately $488,670 will be needed in FY 2010/2011 to complete the environmental clearance and final design of the project. This amount will be recommended in the FY 2010/2011 Capital Improvement Program budget. A separate Amendment to the Agreement with LAN Engineering will be submitted in July of 2010, recommending that the additional amount be authorized. If approved, the additional Amendment will authorize LAN Engineering to complete all aspects of design and environmental clearance and enable the City to obligate federal funds for right-of-way acquisition and construction. Right-of-way acquisition, construction management and the construction contract will be accomplished by separate contracts. - 3 '- CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT (Continued) Estimated project costs are as follows: ITEM OF WORK COST FUNDING SOURCE 1. Environmental Clearance $ 900,000 Measure I and Regional Circulation Fund 2. a) PS&E Engineering $ 1,100,000 Measure I and Regional Circulation Fund b) R/W Engineering $ 100,000 Measure I and Regional Circulation Fund 3. R/W Acauisition $ 2,200,000 Federal Aid & Local Match 4. Construction Cost $13,900,000 Federal Aid & Local Match TOTAL $18,200,000 ~ Approximately $2,000,000 in federal funds is authorized for right-of-way acqUisItIon and construction, subject to a reimbursement rate of 88.53%. Additionally, federal omnibus funding has been requested through the offices of Jerry Lewis and Joe Baca in the amount of $14,560,000 of which 80% will be reimbursable to the City. Even though federal funds are authorized for specific projects, it is required that the City finance the projects with its own funds and apply for reimbursement of the federal amount through Caltrans. This project is also eligible for regional arterial funding under the Measure I extension, which requires a 32% match from the Regional Circulation System Fee Fund. This funding source will be used for right-of-way and construction if sufficient funds are not made available from federal sources. Although the complex process of environmental and design reviews through Caltrans that are required to obligate federal funds will require several years to complete, staff believes that LAN Engineering is the most knowledgeable and dependable firm to push this project through the process and ready it for construction. While the project is underfunded, staff is diligently pursuing federal funding for the project as noted previously. Based on current estimates, funding for right-of-way acquisition will be needed in 2013 and construction funding will be needed in 2014. Construction of the project could begin in 2014 and be completed by 2016. Financial Imoact: - Sufficient funding for costs associated with this Amendment No. I in the amount of $800,000 is available in the FY 2009/10 budget. All costs will be charged to Acct. No. 264-484-5504-7245 "SS04-09 State Street construction from 5th Street to 16th Street". The Consultant has agreed to discount invoices by 5%. That discount will be used to offset staff costs. 4 '- '- - CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT (Continued) The right-of-way cost and a portion of the construction cost for this project will be eligible for federal reimbursement at the rate of 88.53% and the City's share will be 11.47%, based on currently authorized federal funding. If federal omnibus funding is obtained, it will be subject to a reimbursement rate of 80% and the City's share will be 20%. Where matching funds are required, it will be necessary for the City to budget local road funds, such as Measure I, Gas Tax, Prop 42, etc., in the fiscal year in which the federal funds are used.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO LAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION by: by: Charles E. McNeely, City Manager Signature Print NamelTitle ATTEST: Rachel Clark, City Clerk Approved as to form: James F. Penman City Attorney By: ?,f III III -4- ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR THE EXTENSION OF STATE STREET FROM SOUTH OF FOOTHILL BLVD. TO 16TH STREET (Revised 7/1/09) In accordance with discussions with the City, additional services are needed to complete the project and are not currently covered by the existing contract. The previous bridge design the bridge over the East Branch of Lytle Creek was found to no longer meet the current bridge structural design standard, the Caltrans plan format, and pedestrian protection standards. Current standards and technologies also potentially provide for newer alternatives for reducing the structural depth and cost savings. Foothill Boulevard is of insufficient width to accommodate the necessary lanes at the new intersection with State Street. Additional services are needed to extend the State Street Reinforced Box Culvert (RCB) to Foothill Boulevard, including replacing the existing bridge. The Foothill Boulevard roadway will be widened and realigned from Rancho Avenue to the 4th Street intersection. The bridge redesign and RCB extension requires supplemental geotechnical investigations. The prior environmental work was not completed and has expired and may not meet current CEQA and NEPA requirements. Environmental services were not part of LAN's scope of services. The proposed environmental services will prepare the final environmental documents needed to get environmental clearance for the project. The traffic impact analysis will supplement prior traffic studies to cover the proposed alternatives and provide the traffic data necessary for design and completion of the environmental studies. The current project cost approaches the limit which triggers the need for a Value Analysis according to Caltrans Federal Funded projects guidelines. The proposed scope of services includes: . Design of the bridge to meet current design standards . Extend State Street RCB to Foothill Blvd. and replace existing bridge, including street realignment design . Supplemental geotechnical investigations in support of the bridge redesign and RCB extension . Preparation of Public Affairs Presentation Materials . Preparation of CEQA and NEPA environmental documents . Preparation of Traffic Impact Analysis . Value Analysis ATTACHMENT A A BRIDGE DESIGN Bridge Structure Review - This project has two structures 1) State Street Bridge over existing Lytle Creek Spillway and 2) State Street Box Culvert over Lytle Creek (West Branch). The State Street Bridge is a brand new structure, and State Street Box Culvert consists of lengthening of existing structure. The PS&E on these two projects are already complete. We have carefully reviewed GPs for the both structures, and have noted the following. a) The plans are currently in Metric. Prior to project going to bid, plans have to be converted to English Units or Dual Units (with Caltrans Concurrence), and Project Standard Special Provisions to be updated to be consistent with English Units. b) The structure design was based on Load Factor Design. Effective October 2006, Caltrans has required that new structures be designed per Load Resistance Factor Design. c) There are changes to Seismic Design Criteria since the time of original design. The City has requested LAN Engineering to incorporate new LRFD Criteria and Seismic Design Criteria in to the structure design for these two structures. A third structure that is now impacted by the project is the existing Foothill Blvd Bridge over Lytle Creek (West Branch) which must be widened to accommodate widening of Foothill Blvd and construction of the improved intersection with the State Street Extension. Because of the very close proximity between the Foothill Blvd Bridge and the proposed State Street Box Culvert, it is recommended that the existing bridge be replaced and combined with the State Street structure into a single box culvert. The following tasks incorporate PS&E updates needed for the State Street Bridge over the Lytle Creek Spillway and PS&E for one box culvert structure to replace the existing Foothill Blvd Bridge and carry the State Street Extension over Lytle Creek (West Branch): 1. LAN will review the PS&E package for compliance with latest applicable and relevant Caltrans Standards and update accordingly. 2. Incorporate AASHTO LRFD Criteria with California Amendments 3. Incorporate latest Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria 4. Convert Plan as applicable to English Units 5. Coordinate with Caltrans regarding replacement of the Foothill Blvd Bridge. 6. Develop Plans for a single culvert to accommodate the Lytle Creek crossing for State Street and Foothill Blvd. 7. Incorporate latest Caltrans SSPs 8. Update quantities and estimates and provide cost certification The following are anticipated tasks: ATTACHMENT A A. Design 1. LAN shall perform structural analysis and design for the City/Client approved strategy. Consultant shall adhere as necessary to the requirements of the City and other agencies. 2. Calculations shall conform to Caltrans' criteria, policies, procedures and standards. Calculations shall be neat and legible with appropriate referencing to published material used. When computer software is used for performing analysis or design, it shall be clearly identified with a problem statement, reason for used of the software and how results are used. Computer output shall be placed in an appendix, pages numbered and relevant input and output referenced in the main body of the calculations. 3. Calculations shall bear the State of California Registered Professional Engineer registration seal with the signature, license number and registration certificate expiration date of the Engineer who is in responsible charge for developing the design. 4. Prepare PS&E for the Bridge Structure and Culvert Structures. B. Plans 1. Construction details shall be prepared on Caltrans format plan sheets. Caltrans standard drawings and standard plans shall be incorporated into the contract plans where applicable. 2. Each plan shall bear the State of California Registered Profession Engineer registration seal with the signature, license number and registration certificate expiration date of the Engineer who is in responsible charge for developing the plans. 3. The registered Engineer who prepared the design under the project engineer block shall sign each plan. C. Independent Check 1. A qualified engineer who is registered in the State of California shall independently perform the check of the PS&E package and signoff. D. Specifications 1. The Consultant shall reference the recently released Caltrans Standard specifications. 2. The Consultant shall edit the Standard Special Provisions (SSPs) specific to this project. The SSPs shall be prepared in accordance with Caltrans RTL Guide. 3. Specifications shall bear the State of California Registered Professional Engineer registration seal with the signature, license number and registration certificate expiration date of the Engineer who is in responsible charge for the development of the SSPs. ATTACHMENT A 4. A list of contract pay items with item descriptions and item codes, but without quantity values, shall be included in the front of the special provisions. E. Estimates / Quantities 1. The Consultant shall prepare quantity calculations for items which are applicable to this project. 2. Quantities for all contract pay items shall be substantiated by calculations. Quantity calculations shall be neat and orderly and shall shown all sketches, diagrams and dimensions necessary to allow them to be independently used by field inspectors during construction. 3. All quantity calculations shall be independently reviewed. No separate independent calculations shall be required. F. Final PS&E The Consultant shall incorporate comments by the City, other agencies into the PS&E, and prepare RE pending file and submit the final PS&E. B STREET DESIGN Develop additional street realignment design along Foothill Boulevard (SR-66) from Rancho Avenue to the 4the Street intersection to accommodate widened Foothill Boulevard Bridge. Foothill Boulevard is within Caltrans right-of-way and will require additional coordination and review with Caltrans for work within their right-of-way. The current alignment of Foothill Boulvard/5th Street and 4th Street conflicts with the new State Street intersection and may not be able to operate safely with the new intersection. The street and intersection must be realigned to accommodate the new State Street intersection to assure safe movements between State Street and 4th Street. C ENVIRONMENTAL QAlQC The Environmental Manager will provide Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) review prior to documents being submitted to Caltrans. The type of QC/QA review that the Environmental Manager would provide would be comparable to that of a Caltrans reviewer, which would ultimately expedite the review process through Caltrans. The Environmental Manager would ensure that the submittal would be complete and uses appropriate Caltrans format. The Environmental Manager will attend 12 monthly PDT meetings, with action and follow up on tasks, through a two year period that is assumed for the environmental process. D PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT Prepare presentation graphics and mount on display boards. Presentation graphics shall represent plan and typical section views of the proposed street improvements. Sections shall also show typical section at the bridge crossings and at-grade street sections. ATTACHMENT A E GEOTECHNICAL This proposal is for geotechnical services for the proposed bridge crossing the existing Lytle Creek Spillway located near the intersection of State Street and Foothill Boulevard and for the extension of the State Street RCB and replacement of the Foothill Boulevard Bridge. A previous geotechnical investigation was performed for the subject project by Earth Mechanics, Inc. (EMI) in 1997. Only the log of test borings (LOTBs) is currently available. The scope of the investigation performed by EMI is currently not known. The project lies within the northwest-southeast trending San Jacinto fault zone, which is identified as a Califomia Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. When a site lies within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, an extensive geologic investigation is required. We propose to perform the geologic investigation in a phased approach with the first phase described in the below "Geotechnical Tasks." If the investigations determine that additional fault rupture studies are needed, then the services listed under "Optional Fault Investigations" may be invoked. The extent of the fault rupture investigations, if needed, is difficult to ascertain until the initial investigations below are complete. Therefore, the fee in the fee proposal does not cover the "Optional Fault Investigations." A separate fee proposal will be developed if it is determined that the "Optional Fault Investigations" are required and the specific scope of services required is determined. Geotechnical Tasks Task 1 - Data Review & Underground Service Alert (USA) Notification Review geotechnical, project, and underground utility information provided. Assist in obtaining encroachment permits. Mark proposed boring location in the field and contact USA. Task 2 - Preliminary Geological Survey Research to locate suitable aerial photographs; viewing the photographs stereoscopically and plotting any features that may be related to active faulting (e.g., surface scarps, vegetation alignments, linear tonal contrasts, etc.) on overlays, transfer the mapped features onto a client- furnished base map, and preparing a brief letter report describing the study methods and results. Task 3 - Subsurface Investigation Drill one boring approximately 80 feet deep near the State Street Bridge over existing Lytle Creek Spillway and drill one boring approximately 80 feet deep near the State Street Box Culvert over Lytle Creek (West Branch). Backfill the borings with cement bentonite slurry. Patch the surface to match existing surrounding. Task 4 - Laboratory Testing Perform six (6) moisture content/dry density, six (6) particle size analysis - #200 sieve, Atterberg limits, four (4) shear strength, one (1) consolidation, one (1) compaction, and two (2) corrosion tests near the State Street Bridge over existing Lytle Creek Spillway. ATTACHMENT A Perform six (6) moisture content/dry density, six (6) particle size analysis - #200 sieve, Atterberg limits, four (4) shear strength, one (1) consolidation, one (1) compaction, and two (2) corrosion tests near the State Street Box Culvert over Lytle Creek (West Branch). Task 5 - Analysis and Reporting Provide a report with conclusions and recommendations regarding: seismic hazards based on published maps, earthwork/grading, deep foundation capacity and settlement, lateral earth pressures, and corrosion potential. The scope of services specifically excludes any investigation needed to evaluate the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials, including mold, at the site in the soil, surface water, or groundwater. This scope of work does not include construction services. The scope of work and fee for geotechnical services are based on the following assumptions: . Encroachment permits obtained by DY A with the assistance of LAN Engineering . No-fee access to the site is provided (permit costs paid by others) . All underground utilities are shown correctly on one set of plans described in Task 1. Note that sewer and storm drains are not included in the USA inventory . The site is accessible to truck-mounted field equipment during non-overtime hours. Prevailing wage rules apply to DY A's subcontractor's field work . Soil and groundwater are not contaminated . The boring is backfilled with cement bentonite grout . Surfaces are patched with rapid set concrete. . Investigation derived waste (IDW) is spread onsite . Acceleration Response Spectra (ARS) can be based on typical Caltrans procedures . A draft report is provided in electronic pdf format. . The final report will be provided in pdf format. One original and five copies of the report will be provided upon request. ODtional Fault Investiaations If the investigations determine that additional fault rupture studies are needed, then the services listed under "Optional Fault Investigations" may be invoked. This proposed bridge site lies within the northwest-southeast trending active San Jacinto fault zone, which is zoned as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (APEFZ). The APEFZ is about 1500-feet wide at this location. Active faults are defined as having displaced geologic units determined to be less than 10,000 to 12,000 years old. Perform a fault investigation/engineering geologic analysis to determine the location of faults within the APEFZ and to assess the potential fault displacements associated with these faults. The overall study has five tasks described briefly below. These are: 1. Review Existing Geologic/Geotechnical/Geophysical Data and Aerial Photographs 2. Perform Site Reconnaissance Field Activities 3. Conduct Site Fault Investigation 4. Prepare Engineering Geology and Fault Report 5. Assess Seismic Fault Rupture Potential ATTACHMENT A Task 1: Review Existing Geologic/Geotechnical Data and Aerial Photographs Geologic and geotechnical data for the site would be reviewed and evaluated. In addition an aerial photographic analysis of the area around the proposed State Street Bridge would be performed to identify surface manifestations of past fault movements along individual faults within the San Jacinto fault APEFZ at this location. The area considered will be within and near the APEFZ approximately 2000 feet northwest and southeast of the proposed bridge location. This task would include: (a) research to locate geologic and geotechnical data from readily available sources, (b) research suitable aerial photographs (as many before human development as possible) and to purchase up to 3 stereo pairs; (c) viewing the photographs stereoscopically and plotting any features that may be related to active faulting (e.g., surface scarps, vegetation alignments, linear tonal contrasts, etc.) on overlays, (d) transferring the mapped features onto a client-furnished base map, and (e) preparing a brief letter report describing the study methods and results of the geologic and aerial photograph analysis. Task 2: Perform Site Reconnaissance Field Activities Ultimate definition of faults within the bridge area will depend upon the nature of the geologic deposits and one's ability to define subsurface geologic (or geophysical) unit contacts across the fault zone in order to assess fault disruption. Before expending a great deal of time and resources on detailed study, we believe it is necessary to do a reconnaissance-level evaluation of the bridge area subsurface conditions in order to properly plan the Task 3 Site Fault Investigation. This reconnaissance would consist of observation in available excavations (mining operations), up to 2 days of "pothole" excavations at using an excavator to dig to 20+ feet in selected locations, and up to 2 days of seismic refraction and magnetometer profiling. Seismic would to assess subsurface p-wave seismic velocities and layering across portions of the site, and the magnetometer could define fault locations (not depths) if basement rocks of different magnetic susceptibility underlie each side of the fault zone (e.g., Pelon a schist and Cretaceous rocks). Analysis of this information would allow (a) preliminary geologic and geotechnical information useful for bridge design and (b) preparation of a preliminary geologic cross-section within the APEFZ as a basis for selecting the appropriate Task 3 investigation methods. Task 3: Conduct Site Fault Investigation The fault investigation requires the identification of geologic/soil layering and a means to determine the "age" of the layers in order that fault movement can be identified and recency of movement can be assessed. The bridge site has young and very young (Holocene-less than 10,000 to 12,000 years old) surface "wash" deposits in an active erosional/depositional environment (map symbol Qw). Also the layering in these poorly consolidated shallow deposits is likely indistinct and may not retain evidence of fault lateral fault offset. An objective is to located deeper, older layers that can be accessed by available investigative methods. Some such units in the general area are older deposits Qya3, Qya1, Qyes3, Qoed34, and Qoes3 (middle Holocene to late Pleistocene-greater than 10,000 to 12,000 years old). The appropriate investigation techniques and parameters would be determined after Task 2. We believe some combination of (a) deep test pits, (b) geotechnical borings, (c) seismic refraction and seismic reflection geophysical profiles, (d) deep, semi-continuous fault investigation trenches, and (e) soil/radiometric age determinations would be used. Due to the presence of the existing concrete channel and spillway it will be necessary to investigate within ATTACHMENT A areas where the bridge is proposed, and in areas outside the proposed bridge location to the northwest and southeast along the trend of the APEFZ. This will involve using these techniques across nearly the full width of the APEFZ. Task 4: Prepare Engineering Geology and Fault Report Following Task 3 a full report of findings and conclusions regarding fault location(s) and possible age of fault movements will be prepared. This report would include any engineering geology information and analysis related to geotechnical design studies that have proceeded along with the previous tasks. Task 5: Assess Seismic Fault Rupture Potential In accordance with the process normally applied by Caltrans, a seismic fault rupture assessment would be made for the San Jacinto fault to determine: . Earthquake magnitude . Slip rates and recurrence (return period) . Type offault (e.g., strike slip, normal) . Horizontal and vertical components of offset . Style of faulting (primary or secondary) . Fault orientation . Probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis . Deterministic fault displacement hazard analysis . Risk analysis . Design fault rupture movements (horizontal and vertical) . Concurrence of design fault rupture movements and design ground motions An appropriate report would be prepared to document these activities. DY A's specialty geologic consultants will conduct/manage and oversee, respectively, the proposed task efforts. The extent of these optional Fault Investigation services varies depending on the findings in the initial geotechnical study. A precise fee estimate can be developed only after the initial findings are completed. F ENVIRONMENTAL The environmental work is for preparation of the CEQA and NEPA environmental documents for environmental clearance of the project. The project will involve review and approvals by the City and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Caltrans will be the Lead Agency for the project for preparation of the environmental technical studies and for preparation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental document. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) delegated its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to Caltrans on July 1, 2007. Therefore, Caltrans will also be the Lead Agency for compliance with the NEPA. The City will be a Responsible Agency under CEQA. The tasks identified below outline the work program for environmental clearance of the project under both CEQA and NEPA. The level of effort is based on (1) preparation of an Initial Study/ Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration/Finding of No Significant Impact (MND/FONSI), (2) a schedule of up to 18 months to complete the project, and ATTACHMENT A (3) evaluation of up three Build Alternatives and the No Build condition. Should circumstances arise that indicate the need for a higher-level environmental document (i.e., an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement [EIRlEIS]) or an extension of the project schedule beyond 18 months, the scope of work and budget would need to be revised accordingly. The level of effort is also based on preparing the technical analyses listed below in support of the IS/EA. All documentation will be prepared pursuant to the Caltrans Project Development Procedures and Workflow Tasks Manuals (including the PR Guidelines), the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Web page, and the City's guidelines for implementing CEQA. If, after the first drafts of these documents are completed, substantial effort is required to comply with new revisions to Caltrans guidelines for the technical studies or the IS/EA, the scope and budget may need to be modified accordingly. The following items will be required prior to preparation of the technical studies and the preliminary Draft IS/EA: . Project plans (digital files) suitable for use as a base for preparation of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) map for the project. These plans should be on a topo or aerial photo base and must clearly show the existing and proposed right-of-way and the proposed project improvements. . 11" x 17" Caltrans format concept plans (clean PDF file or clean hard copy) for the build alternatives suitable as an attachment to the technical studies. These plans must clearly show the existing and proposed right-of-way and the proposed project improvements. The plans will be required prior to submittal of the first draft technical studies to Caltrans for review. . Topographical mapping (digital files) showing existing and proposed right-of-way and existing and proposed elevations for the entire project site, including all areas within the APE. . Rights of entry to all public and private properties. Task 1: Project Management/Meetings In addition to project management, this task includes ongoing project team coordination and attendance at up to 18 Project Development Team (PDT) meetings (assuming LSA will not be required to attend every monthly PDT meeting for the 18-month schedule) or other meetings. Two additional meetings are also included: (1) a project kickoff meeting, and (2) an initial field investigation meeting with the City and Caltrans (these are optional since it is not know at this time whether these 2 meetings will be required). Task 2: Project Initiation This task includes research and investigation activities necessary to develop an understanding of the proposed project and potential environmental issues. The task may include conducting a preliminary site survey, gathering preliminary data, and developing a draft project description and preliminary mapping to define the project footprint of disturbance. ATTACHMENT A Task 3: Field Review Meeting and Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) LSA will discuss with City staff, the consultant project engineer, and Caltrans the project description and schedule and to develop a mutual understanding of the issues and impacts of the project. During this task, LSA will review existing information and participate in a field review of the project site with the consultant project engineer, the City, and Caltrans, For this task, LSA will prepare a draft Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form (using the standard Caltrans form) prior to the site meeting with the consultant project engineer, the City, and Caltrans. The draft PES will be reviewed and revised if needed, per discussions at the field meeting. The PES will then be submitted to Caltrans for signature and distribution to the project team. LSA technical staff (including an archaeologist and biologist) will attend one field meeting (site visit), as required by Caltrans Local Assistance to discuss possible environmental issues with Caltrans staff. Task 4: Environmental Technical Studies Technical studies for air quality, noise, noise abatement decision report (NADR), water quality, biology (natural environment study report), paleontological resources, and cultural resources will be prepared to provide the basis for the conclusions in the IS/EA. The scope of work includes technical studies as optional items to include a visual resources impact analysis, a community impact analysis and a relocation study. Optional subtasks under biological resources are provided for small mammal trapping, Endangered Species Act Consultation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Califomia Department of Fish and Game jurisdictional delineation, and jurisdictional waters permitting. The technical studies listed below will be used as resource documents for preparation of the IS/EA. The technical studies will evaluate the potential environmental impact of up to three Build Alternatives and the No Build condition. This scope and budget are based on three rounds of Caltrans review for the draft technical studies. The first round of review is for major comments, and the second and third rounds are for minor cleanup comments (no new comments requiring substantial revisions). If the concept plans for the project are revised after the analysis for the technical studies is complete, new analysis based on the revised plans may be required, and the scope and budget may need to be modified accordingly. Task 4.1: Air Quality Analysis. LSA will prepare an Air Quality Analysis for the project in accordance with the Caltrans Transportation Project Level Carbon Monoxide (CO) Protocol, the EPA's fugitive dust conformity rule, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) CEQA Handbook air quality guidelines. LSA will conduct the screening analyses specified in the CO protocol and, if required, conduct CALlNE4 modeling for CO hot spots for up to 20 receptor locations for the Existing, Future No Build, and each of the Build Alternatives. LSA will evaluate the proposed project's impacts to long-term particulate matter concentrations (PM2s and PM,.) and mobile source air toxics (MSAT) using the Transportation Conformity Guidance for Qualitative Hot-spot Analysis in PM2s and PM,. Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas (EPA, March 2006) and the Interim Guidelines on Air Toxic Ana/ysis in NEPA Documents (FHWA, February 2006). In addition, the proposed project's impact on global warming and climate change will be discussed. In addition to the air quality analysis, LSA will prepare the "Conformity Analysis Documentation for Project-Level Conformity Determinations in Metropolitan NonattainmentlMaintenance Areas" required for NEPA delegation. ATTACHMENT A Task 4.2: Noise Analysis. LSA will prepare a noise impact analysis consistent with the Caltrans Noise Analysis Protocol (August 2006) and Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) to address traffic noise impacts on noise-sensitive uses, such as existing and approved future residential areas located adjacent to the proposed project. Noise standards regulating noise impacts, including the Noise Abatement Criteria (NAG) and applicable local noise ordinances, will be discussed for land uses located adjacent to the project. The areas with potential future traffic noise impacts will be identified using land use information, aerial photographs, and field reconnaissance. A discussion of any existing sensitive uses and approved future residences in the project vicinity will be included. Ambient noise level measurements will be conducted to establish the existing noise environment at representative noise-sensitive land uses along State Street within the project area. Short-term (15-minute) noise level measurements will be made at up to 9 locations with concurrent traffic counts to document the existing noise environment and to calibrate the traffic noise model. In addition, one classroom building will be evaluated with one interior and exterior noise level measurement. Observations of other noise sources, barriers, terrains, building heights, and other site specific information will be noted during each measurement period. Short-term noise impacts from construction sources will be analyzed based on the equipment expected to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended noise emission levels will be used for the construction equipment. The construction noise impact will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent noise-sensitive locations. Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area and the City's Noise Ordinance specifications. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM) version 2.5 will be used to evaluate the traffic noise levels associated with the Existing, Future No Build, and Future Build. Model input data include peak hour traffic volumes, vehicle mix among autos, medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway configurations. Existing roadway traffic noise will be calculated as baseline conditions, using concurrent traffic counts obtained during ambient noise level measurement. The future traffic conditions will assume either the worst-case traffic condition or the projected traffic volumes provided in the traffic study. Noise abatement measures (sound barriers) designed to reduce long-term traffic noise impacts by 5 dBA or more, as required to be feasible, will be evaluated. A reasonable allowance per residence and total reasonable allowance per residence will be calculated for each sound barrier. Task 4.3: Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR). If feasible sound barriers were identified in the Noise Study Report (NSR), LSA will prepare a NADR, as defined in the Caltrans Noise Analysis Protocol (August 2006) upon receipt of the estimated sound barrier construction cost and non-acoustical information related to feasibility from the project engineer. The report will summarize the preliminary reasonableness determination from the noise study report, present the engineer's cost estimate for the evaluated abatement, evaluation of non-acoustical factors related to feasibility, preliminary noise abatement decision, and secondary effects of abatement (impacts on cultural resources, scenic views, hazardous materials, and biology). LSA will prepare the NADR consistent with the District report guidelines with the best information available. ATTACHMENT A Task 4.3.1 Introduction. LSA will include a brief description of noise abatement assessment requirements, the purpose of the NADR, a brief description of the project alternatives, and the identification of affected land uses. The general land uses within the project area will be discussed, including existing uses and uses that are planned, designed, and programmed as defined in the Protocol. The report will also identify noise- sensitive land uses associated with outdoor frequent human use areas, consistent with the Noise Analysis. Task 4.3.2 Results of the Noise Analysis. The report will summarize key information presented in the Noise Analysis. This key information will include the identification of locations where noise impacts are predicted to occur, identification of locations for which noise abatement was evaluated, a description of evaluated noise abatement, and a table summarizing acoustical feasibility, along with the number of benefited receivers and reasonable allowances. Task 4.3.3 Preliminary Noise Abatement Decision. The NADR will present a summary of the key information to be used in making the preliminary noise abatement decision, which includes acoustical feasibility, number of benefited residences, total reasonableness allowance, the engineer's cost estimate for the abatement, and a comparison of cost versus allowance. Nonacoustical factors will also be evaluated under the preliminary noise abatement decision. These factors include geometric standards (minimum sight distances), safety, maintenance, security, geotechnical considerations, and utility relocations. Task 4.3.4 Preliminary Recommendation and Decision. The recommended barrier selected by the PDT will be presented in the report. Several factors considering the recommendation include breaking the line-of-sight between the receiver and the 11.5- foot- (ft) high truck exhaust stack, the absolute noise level, the number of benefited receivers, the cost per benefited receiver, the degree of noise reduction, and a 15-year minimum life cycle. Task 4.3.5 Secondary Effects of Abatement. Secondary effects on cultural resources, scenic views, hazardous materials, biology, and other resources will be discussed and addressed in the NADR. The best information available will be compiled from relevant environmental studies and technical specialists to address secondary effects on cultural resources, scenic views, hazardous materials, biology, and other resources. Task 4.3.6 Report Preparation and Response to Comments. LSA will prepare a NADR for the proposed project. Also, LSA will respond to review comments and revise the report accordingly. It is anticipated that the report will require up to two rounds of review. Task 4.3.7 Meetings/Public Hearings. It is anticipated that LSA noise staff will not be required to attend any team meetings andlor public hearings related to processing the proposed project. The cost of attending such meetings is therefore not included in this proposal. If requested, meeting attendance will be provided on a time-and-materials basis. ATTACHMENT A Task 4.4: Water Quality Assessment Report. Task 4.4.1 Research. LSA will conduct research on design pollution prevention best management practices (BMPs), construction site BMPs, and treatment BMPs that are applicable to the project alternatives per the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Handbooks Project Planning and Design Guide. Information from the Storm Water Data Report (SWDR), to be provided by the project engineer, will be incorporated into the WQAR. Information to be obtained from the SWDR includes, but is not limited to, proposed BMPs, the disturbed soil area, and new impervious surface area. Task 4.4.2 Report Preparation. LSA will prepare a Water Quality Assessment Report (WQAR) for the project that discusses watershed characteristics, groundwater hydrology, regulatory requirements, pollutants of concern, and receiving waters conditions, objectives, and beneficial uses. The project's potential impact on water quality will be evaluated and mitigation measures necessary to prevent adverse water quality impacts will be identified. Upon the completion of the WQAR described above, LSA will prepare and submit a Draft WQAR for the City's review and comments. LSA will make the necessary revisions to the Draft WQAR and will prepare the WQAR for Caltrans review. LSA will provide a preprint version of the WQAR to the City for a limited final review prior to submitting it to Caltrans for review and comment. The purpose of this review will be to verify that the City is satisfied with the new and revised text per its comments. At this point, no substantive changes to technical analyses or conclusions are provided in order to maintain the schedule and/or budget. LSA will reproduce up to six hard copies of the WQAR for Caltrans review. This scope and budget assumes no more than two rounds of Caltrans review and no more than sixteen hours of revision time will be required. LSA will reproduce up to six hard copies of the WQAR for each Caltrans review. Task 4.4.3 Consultation and Coordination. Consultation and coordination may be required with the applicant, project team, and involved regulatory agencies. We have assumed this coordination will take place primarily by telephone, fax, and mail. The proposed schedule and cost estimate do not include attendance at any meetings. Task 4.5: (Biological) Natural Environment Study (NES) Task 4.5.1: Literature and Database Search. LSA will determine the existence or potential occurrence of sensitive plant and animal species within and in the vicinity of the project area (where such species could be affected by project activities or where protocol surveys need to be extended within limits agreed upon by any regulatory agency). LSA will accomplish this by conducting a review of federal and state lists of sensitive species and current database records, including the California Natural Diversity Data Base (California Department of Fish and Game [CDFG), 2008), the California Native Plant Society's E/ectronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (Skinner et al. 2004), and other environmental reports (if found). Task 4.5.2: USFWS ListedlSensitive Species Coordination Letter. In accordance with Caltrans guidelines, LSA will submit a letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) requesting a list of threatened and endangered species known from the ATTACHMENT A project area. The results of the records search will be summarized in a table and included in the NES including any critical habitats that have the potential to be affected by the proposed project. Task 4.5.3: Prepare NES Report. LSA will prepare an NES report suitable for use in NEPA and CEQA review. The report will be prepared in accordance with the modified (October 2005) version of the Caltrans Style Guide for Environmental Documents or a more current revision for projects subject to review by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The NES will contain the following detail: . A preliminary list of sensitive elements that may be affected by the project. The list will be developed from literature sources (i.e., California Natural Diversity Data Base, California Native Plant Society's Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California, and other environmental reports) and through coordination with resource agencies. . A list of species and critical habitats potentially affected by the project based on a request letter to the USFWS. . Assessment of habitat conditions to determine if focused burrowing owl surveys will be required. . Biological inventory, description of biological resources, habitat and sensitive species location maps, assessment of migration corridors, survey methodologies, results of presence/absence surveys, potential wetlandslwaters of the U.S.lstreambeds of the CDFG, maps, tables, photographs, and appendices. . Determine project impacts to biological resources and potential mitigation measures for project team's review using the results of the literature review, field surveys, and agency coordination. LSA will coordinate with the project development team to identify appropriate mitigation measures. . LSA will coordinate with the project team to identify appropriate mitigation measures. Mitigation requirements shall be pre-approved by the project team prior to incorporating such mitigation into the draft and final NES. . An LSA senior biologist will be available to attend a total of four staff/coordination meetings. The proposed scope of services includes preparation of a draft NES to be reviewed by the City of San Bernardino (City) and Caltrans. LSA will prepare and distribute up to six copies of the NES for two review cycles and will respond to comments and update the NES as needed for completion of each cycle. Task 4.5.4: Sensitive Species Habitat Assessment Based on a preliminary database search, the following federal and state listed and CDFG species of special concern surveys are likely to be required. LSA will conduct a habitat assessment to determine the need for additional surveys for the listed and sensitive species below. . San Bernardino kangaroo rat (Dipodomys meniami parvus) (Federal Endangered Species); . Slender-horned spineflower (DoeJecahema leptoceras) (Federal and State Endangered Species); ATTACHMENT A . Santa Ana River woollystar (Eriast/1/m densifolium ssp. sancto/1/m) (Federal and State Endangered Species); and . Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) (State Species of Special Concern). If it is determined that additional surveys are necessary, LSA will notify the City once the determination is made. Only focused surveys for the San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR) are included in this scope of services (as an optional task). If needed, LSA is available to conduct additional focused species surveys at an additional cost. Task 4.5.5: Small Mammal Trapping (Optional) The proposed project is located outside the designated critical habitat for the SBKR (finalized October 18, 2008). LSA will conduct small mammal trapping within suitable habitat within the project area, especially adjacent to Lytle Creek Wash near Baseline Road, in order to determine if threatened or endangered small mammal species, including SBKR, are present on the site. LSA will document the survey results in a technical report that will be suitable for use by the USFWS and the CDFG (if necessary). The focused survey will consist of a small mammal trapping survey and preparation of a focused survey report. The survey will determine whether the SBKR is present or absent on the project site. The trapping effort will consist of five consecutive nights of trapping and will be conducted in accordance with all permit conditions. The SBKR is an endangered species as listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act. As part of the assessment, all captured small mammals will be identified and released unharmed; LSA will also note other observed plants and animals. Per permit conditions, inclement weather or nighttime temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit may extend the trapping beyond the five-night period. The small mammal trapping survey will be performed by an LSA biologist who is permitted by the USFWS to capture the SBKR. Traps will be set up at dusk and checked at midnight and dawn. LSA has previously experienced vandalism with traps in this vicinity along Lytle Creek. Therefore, traps will be set up each evening and taken down each morning to reduce the potential for vandalism. Additionally, due to the high-risk location of the project and the high-risk time of day for conducting the trapping, a team of two or three biologists will work together at all times on site. It is assumed that trapping efforts will be conducted in one five-night trapping session. If inclement weather arises or the USFWS requires additional traps that cannot be accommodated during the five-night trapping efforts, additional budget may be required. Pursuant to the permit requirements, LSA must provide the following information to the USFWS: . In advance of the trapping survey, details regarding the site location that will be trapped; . Authorization (or denial) from the properly owner for the USFWS to enter the properly during trapping activities; . Notification within 48 hours of the capture of any threatened or endangered species; . A trapping survey report within 30 days of completion of the surveys; and . A summary of trapping results as part of the biological assessment report. ATTACHMENT A Upon completion of the focused survey, LSA will prepare a draft letter report documenting the survey results and will include graphics showing the site location in a USGS 7.5' Quadrangle and photographs of the existing site conditions. One draft letter report will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Comments will be incorporated into a final letter report and copies will be submitted to the City and the USFWS. Consultation and coordination may be required with the applicant, project team, and involved regulatory agencies. We have assumed this coordination will take place by telephone, fax, and mail. The proposed scope and bUdget does not include attendance at any meetings. Task 4.5.6: Endangered Species Act Consultation (Optional) This task is not expected to be required due to the disturbed condition of the vegetation and soils within the project site but is included as background information only. Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) Section 7 Consultation requires federal agencies to consult with the USFWS on proposed actions that may affect threatened or endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. Section 7 also requires federal agencies to confer with the USFWS if the agency determines that the action is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitat. This consultation may take place in two steps: . Informal consultation is a process that includes all discussions, correspondence, etc. between the USFWS and the federal agency or a designated non-federal representative. Informal consultation is designed to assist the involved agencies in determining whether an action may affect a listed species. If the USFWS concurs that an action is not likely to adversely affect a listed species, Section 7 consultation ends. During informal consultation, the USFWS may suggest modifications to the action that the federal agency and/or permittee could make to avoid the likelihood of adverse effect. . If the project is likely to adversely affect a listed species, formal consultation between the USFWS and the federal agency is initiated. During formal consultation, the USFWS evaluates information relating to potential project effects on the listed species. At the conclusion of this evaluation, the USFWS formulates a Biological Opinion (BO) as to whether the project is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species. If a "jeopardy opinion" is issued, the USFWS is to include reasonable and prudent alternatives to the federal action. In the case of a "no jeopardy opinion" (or with the implementation of reasonable and prudent alternatives), the USFWS may also issue an "incidental take" statement, which allows the incidental take of a listed species in accordance with terms and conditions specified in the BO. . LSA recommends that the initial report be used as a basis for initial coordination between the project team and the USFWS to obtain tentative concurrence on key FESA issues as they relate to the proposed project. The issues to be addressed will be the identification of the action area, project description, potential effects of proposed project on subject species, and appropriate conservation (mitigation) measures. LSA will coordinate the meeting, prepare the agenda, distribute relevant ATTACHMENT A information in advance of the meeting, and prepare minutes documenting the meeting results. It is expected that the staff from the City of San Bernardino, Caltrans, the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), and LSA will participate in the initial coordination. LSA will prepare a Biological Assessment (BA) in accordance with USFWS guidelines. The BA will be based on the results of the initial coordination and will incorporate relevant information from the literature review. The BA will follow standard Caltrans formatting for such documents and will include: . A description of the action being considered and identification of the action area. . A description of any listed species or critical habitat that may be directly or indirectly affected by the action. . An evaluation of direct, indirect, and cumulative project effects on any listed species or critical habitat. . Identification of efforts to avoid or minimize project effects. . A description of compensatory mitigation measures that have been approved by the PM/PDT members and the FHWA. If such measures have not been approved by all parties, a memorandum describing recommended measures will be attached to the BA. Graphics will be included in the report, showing the site location, vegetation and habitat distribution, and any sensitive species sightings. In addition, relevant reports, including any environmental documents, biological reports, and any other relevant studies or other information available on the action, the affected listed species, or critical habitat will be appended to the report. LSA will prepare a "screencheck" version of the BA for review. Upon receipt of comments, LSA will make revisions as needed and prepare a draft BA for submittal to Caltrans and the FHWA. Upon receipt of comments from the FHWA, LSA will prepare a final BA suitable for the FHWA to submit to the USFWS. LSA will await receipt of comments from all respective participants before completing revisions to any of the report versions. This proposal does not include preparation of the Environmental Assessment (EA) that is required as part of a Section 7 Consultation. It is standard practice for the USFWS to prepare the required EA and we anticipate that such practice will be followed for the project. For dual listed species, the project must also obtain a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) permit. This process is completed after the USFWS has issued the FESA permit (BO). Typically, this is a review by the CDFG for compliance with the state regulations. Task 4.5.7: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Department of Fish and Game Jurisdictional Delineation (Optional) Under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) , the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) regulates discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the ATTACHMENT A United States, including wetlands. Waters of the United States include essentially any drainage course with defined banks or other evidence of flow of water. The CDFG, through provisions of the California Fish and Game Code, is empowered to issue agreements for any alteration of a river, stream, or lake. Streams (and rivers) are defined by the presence of a channel bed and banks, and at least an intermittent flow of surface or sub-surface water. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) must issue a Water Quality Certification (pursuant to the CWA Section 401) for any project, which is also subject to ACOE jurisdiction under CWA Section 404. Wetlands are afforded special emphasis under both the state and federal programs. Wetlands are considered by the ACOE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be "special aquatic sites." Both EPA and ACOE have strict policies regarding mitigation of wetland areas. Because of the significance of this issue, a precise and accurate jurisdictional determination is critical. A focused wetland delineation will be completed according to the September 2008 Regiona/ Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0), the currently accepted methodology. We anticipate that a routine delineation, tailored to the site characteristics, will be adequate. A jurisdictional "waters of the U.S." determination will also be completed according to the current ACOE standards. Finally, the extent of any streambed and associated riparian areas subject to review by CDFG under Section 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code will be determined. The results of the delineation will be presented in a detailed report that will include mapping of any wetland and jurisdictional areas. Please note the results of the determination are subject to verification by the ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFG. This report will define the project constraints associated with non-wetland waters, wetlands, and riparian habitat. Our approach will be to provide appropriate technical documentation for use in any required regulatory compliance procedure. The respective agencies require that a wetland delineation be submitted along with the permit applications required to obtain authorization for work in waters of the U.S.lstreambeds of the CDFG. A completed jurisdictional delineation and grading plan would be necessary to properly scope and estimate the cost of permitting services for the project. Task 4.5.8: Jurisdictional Waters Permitting (Optional) This scope of work assumes that the project will fall within the criteria for a Nationwide Permit and not require an Individual CWA Section 404 permit. The permits listed below may be required for construction of the proposed project: . Section 404 CWA permit from the ACOE for dredge or fill material. (The project sites will likely be eligible for a nationwide permit.) . Section 401 CWA certification from the RWQCB. . Section 1600 et seq. Fish and Game Code agreement from the CDFG. ATTACHMENT A A conceptual and final Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) may be needed and is included in this scope. The scope of services for the permits listed above is described in further detail below. Task 4.5.8.1: Section 404 (Optional). Obtaining authorization under Section 404 of the CWA requires that the applicant prepare a notification requesting authorization for fill of jurisdictional waters. This proposal is based on one or more nationwide permits that may be required for the construction activities associated with the project. LSA will prepare and submit a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) to the ACOE that includes the following information and attachments: . Introductory cover letter. . A detailed project description, including project background. . A discussion, with supporting figures, of existing and/or potential biological resources, project impacts to ACOE jurisdictional areas, and mitigation measures to compensate for proposed impacts. . A detailed description of impact minimization measures. . A discussion of cultural resource documentation and requirements. . Conceptual mitigation options based on ACOE guidelines and available information. (These options will include conceptual information on how on-site impacts may be mitigated to replace jurisdictional areas that will be lost. A final mitigation and monitoring plan is included in this scope of work.) . A complete set of project site construction plans/drawings. . A copy of the jurisdictional delineation report. . A copy of the Section 401 and 1600 et seq. permit applications. Task 4.5.8.2: Section 401 Certification (Optional). In order to issue authorization for fill of waters under Section 404 of the CWA, the ACOE is required to ensure that the RWQCB has issued a certification of water quality or waste discharge requirements in compliance with Section 401 of the CWA. LSA will prepare and submit a request for Water Quality Certification to the RWQCB. The request letter will include the following information and attachments: . Introductory cover letter. . A completed Section 401 Water Quality Certification Form, including the required supplemental text and figures. . An assessment of water quality impacts addressing types of fill material to be discharged, impacts to beneficial uses of the water body, and any expected water diversions. . Conceptual mitigation options based on ACOE guidelines and available information. . A complete set of project site construction plans/drawings. . A copy ofthe Jurisdictional Delineation Report. . A copy of the Section 404 and 1602 permit applications. ATTACHMENT A Task 4.5.8.3: Streambed Alteration Agreement (Optional). The CDFG is empowered to issue agreements for any alteration of a river, stream, or lake where fish or wildlife resources may be adversely affected. In order to obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA), LSA will prepare and submit a Notification of Streambed Alteration to the CDFG. The notification letter will include the following information and attachments: . Introductory cover letter. . A discussion (with supporting figures) of existing and/or potential biological resources, project impacts to the CDFG jurisdictional area, and mitigation measures to compensate for proposed impacts. . A completed Notification Form. . Conceptual mitigation options based on ACOE guidelines and available information. A complete set of project site construction plans/drawings. . A copy of the Jurisdictional Delineation Report. . A copy of the Section 404 and 401 permit applications. Task 4.5.8.4: Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (Optional). The HMMP will be suitable for submittal to the CDFG, ACOE, and RWQCB to satisfy permit requirements. LSA will prepare an HMMP that will address proposed mitigation and habitat restoration in the project sites. The HMMP will include sections addressing Restoration Project Description, Goal of Mitigation, Success Criteria, Proposed Mitigation Sites, Implementation Plan, Monitoring Plan, Maintenance Plan, Completion of Mitigation and Dedication of Conservation Easement, Long-Term Management and Maintenance, and Contingency Measures. Task 4.5.8.5: Project Team Review/Revisions (Optional). One draft copy of each permit application package will be provided to the City for review. Upon approval by the City, LSA will send the final permit application packages to the ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFG. Two copies of the final permit application packages also will be provided to the City. Task 4.5.8.6: Follow-Up Coordination (Optional). Consultation and coordination may be required with the City, Caltrans, and the involved regulatory agencies during review of application materials. Following submittal of the applications, LSA will coordinate with the involved regulatory agencies to respond to agency questions and submit any additional information that may be requested. We have assumed that coordination will take place primarily by telephone, fax, and mail. During this process, LSA will coordinate closely with the City with regard to any agency concerns, questions, or request for additional materials that may arise. Typically, the resource agencies request at least one meeting on site during implementation of the permitting process. If the jurisdictional delineation of waters has not been approved by the agencies, the site meeting should include a determination of jurisdiction by the agencies. During the negotiation process, it is critical that there is general consensus that the mitigation measures to be proposed will be acceptable to the resource agencies, the City, and Caltrans. ATTACHMENT A Based upon LSA's current knowledge of the project, up to one field meeting with agency personnel is anticipated.

"D" Street, 3'" Floor San Bernardino, CA 92418-0001 Re: State Street - Foothill Blvd to 16th Street Project Budget Cost Reduction Dear Mike, The City of San Bernardino's City Manager sent a letter dated 12/16/09 requesting cost reduction by contractors and vendors as a part of the City's strategy to cope with the fiscal crisis. LAN Engineering has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the City and understands the difficulties facing municipalities in these times. In this spirit, LAN Engineering will agree to a 5% reduction for each invoice. The 5% reduction will be applied to invoices issued commencing with the next invoice. The cost reduction will apply to amounts invoiced against the remainder of the original contract as well as the recently submitted CCO#1. We will apply this cost reduction until the expiration of the contract which is scheduled for July 31, 2010.
