Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 4 2 APPROACH
2.1 Understanding
The Town of Atherton faces unique challenges to storm drainage solutions along the El Camino Real corridor:
• El Camino Real presents a perpendicular barrier to the natural flow pattern, conveying stormwater flows from the hills to theBay
• Caltrans drainage favors longitudinal piping, transversing only at afew selected points • The exceedingly flat topography amplifies the effects and extent of localized flooding • El Camino Real is a critical arterial through the Town and to neighboring communities, with localized flooding having an outsized effect on the safety of Atherton residents during rain events.
• Water Board requirements for stormwater discharge to storm drain systems and natural channels have significantly increased restrictions on impervioussurfaces. • Multi-jurisdictional permitting coordination and mitigation efforts are required forstorm drain improvements.
• Traffic control and public safety for any construction activities along thecorridor are complex.
• El Camino Real is a major corridor for power and telecommunication utilities, making transverse crossings of the roadway with any storm-related infrastructuredifficult.
With all these factors in mind, improvements to the El Camino Real stormwater and drainage system within the Town of Atherton limits is a challenge that would benefit from a turnkey engineering firm with a proven track record, local expertise, and the ability to successfully carry a project from conceptual design, through the permitting process, to final design documents, and on through bid assistance and construction support. That is precisely the benefit Freyer and Laureta propose in this submittal to the Town.
2.2 Approach to Work
Every engineering assessment is unique, and following a standardized process or checklist can sometimes result in a missed opportunity to develop customized solutions for our clients. We have also found that the success of any project relies heavily on our ability to collaborate with key stakeholders (both internal and external) and permitting agencies effectively – which, in the case of any drainage solutions along the El Camino Real corridor, will be critical.
Deliverables often include, but are not limited to, approvals, plans, improvement studies, schematic designs, value engineering, construction method evaluations, surveys, public outreach and coordination, peer, traffic, and constructability reviews, cost estimates, and more. F&L has the experience to meet the Town’s civil engineering needs, objectives, and scope items listed in the RFQ, including upgrading, repairing, and expanding Town-owned and operated facilities and infrastructure.
To demonstrate our team’s experience with similar projects, we are presenting key approach items that our engineers will apply to any project assigned to F&L. We feel that there is no better FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 5 way for the Town to understand how we will execute the planning, design, and implementation of infrastructure improvement projects than by outlining key task approaches we will consider.
The following sections briefly describe those approach items and how the F&L Team will implement those to create effective scopes of work for the project, including tasks such as:
• Preliminary Design, including existing conditions review and permitting coordination • Preparation of Construction Contract Documents andestimates • Bidding and ConstructionSupport
• Preparation of Record Drawings and WarrantyInspection • Land Development Review of public and privateimprovements • Review of capacity studies, including impacts of proposedimprovements We understand that the design engineer will be responsible for working closely with the Town to clearly outline the required improvements, including coordinating with utility owners identified through available records research and utility potholing to minimize the potential for change orders.
We have prepared our approach described below, highlighting key activities our team will consider for this project. The key activities are based on F&L’s experience planning, designing, and constructing infrastructure improvement projects to control costs and meet project objectives and schedules.
Project Management and Coordination
The nature of a lead consultant requires F&L to have tools and processes in place to proactively work with the Town to identify project needs, develop detailed scopes of work, and provide detailed progress reporting. It is critical to track assignments, budget status, and schedules to ensure that we work together to efficiently and effectively utilize the available budget.
The F&L team’s approach includes the following:
• Triage the significant amount of drainage study work and planning efforts that have been completed along the El Camino Real corridor. • Develop detailed and concise scopes of work, including the proposed budget and schedule, for the selectedimprovements. • Track all project decisions (pending and complete) in aProject Decision Log and circulatemonthly.
• Develop, maintain, and report project schedules for each assignment to allow the Town and the F&L team to proactively mitigate, when feasible, schedule variances.
• Implement a robust Quality Assurance/Quality Controlprogram where all staff take ownership of individual assignments to produce quality work. We leverage our senior engineer’s expertise to provide independent review of all work products and to identify any constructability issues.
FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 6 F&L understands that the key to successfully providing engineering services is to have an established a framework for communication, scope preparation, and budgeting. We have experience working with large and often complex municipalities - leading the planning and design of over $200 million in infrastructure improvements throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.
F&L’s full-project life experience allows our engineers to incorporate multiple design criteria, including analysis, materials, construction methods, and potential public impacts (both nearterm and long-term). These elements allow us to present utility owners with multiple possible solutions while identifying a preferred solution.
We plan to implement a management system to inform the Town of project elements before our submittals and provide clear and concise documents further defining and refining proposed project elements. Our team continues that approach, bringing in a wide breadth of engineering public works talent to support the Town– ensuring the delivery of high-quality work on schedule and within the budget of the Town’s needs.
Survey and Utility Investigation
As design engineers, surveying is a fundamental component of how we deliver our services.
The field survey provides the baseline picture for our design team and begins the process of utility investigation needed for most public works infrastructure improvement projects. We utilize the latest equipment to create detailed maps to establish existingconditions.
Our surveying and mapping experience allows us to observe existing conditions to identify evidence of existing utilities quickly. Our staff also understands the critical importance of contacting third-party utility owners, including municipalities, special districts, state agencies, and communications firms. It is crucial to perform utility records research to inform the planning of the utility investigation fieldwork.
We will provide staff who are highly experienced with the Subdivision Map Act and capable of reviewing the following:
• Tentative Maps-residential, mix-use, and commercialprojects • Final Maps-residential, mixed-use and commercialprojects • Record-of-survey, plats, legal descriptions,monuments • ALTA/ACSM, Boundary and Topographic Surveys
As we develop the utility base maps using field survey information and utility records provided by the utility owners, F&L will begin the initial scoping of the utility investigation and potholing program. Our staff understands that our initial efforts to identify utility locations early in the design phase can yield significant benefits during construction. F&L will develop a proposed utility potholing plan to allow our engineers to validate available as-built information and identify key constraints that may affect final water main alignments.
Leverage In-House Knowledge
In our experience, internal staff will have the best knowledge of existing operations and potential approaches for implementing improvement projects. Engaging the Town’s engineering and operation staff members for tasks with accelerated schedules to execute efficiently will be critical. As design engineers, we must include operation and maintenance staff throughout the development and design process before we can be assigned a task and proceed with developing design criteria, drawings, and specifications. We have learned by engaging operations/maintenance staff early and frequently during the design development FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 7 phase, we can incorporate operations-driven design criteria to create a successful project.
F&L recognizes that going from a concept on a piece of paper to building/operating in the real world can be challenging, and all stakeholders’ input is crucial to delivering successful project results. We will work with the Town to identify operation and maintenance staff to work with throughout project development. The intent is not to burden staff but to help facilitate discussions early in the project definition phase to ensure our submittal meets the Town’s expectations and needs. We take pride in engaging all engineering and operation stakeholders so all staff buy into the final solution.
Planned Coordination
F&L, particularly our proposed project manager and design team, will work closely with Town personnel and its partners to plan and implement capital improvements that ensure longterm operational optimization and reliability.
The F&L Team will utilize feedback from initial agency meetings to develop weighted evaluation criteria for each project element while minimizing technical and non-technical concerns from local entities that could impact project costs or schedules. Once completed, conceptual design drafts will be presented to the Town for feedback and comment to ensure any operational needs are addressed before submission to involved partners – resulting in greater buy-in and engagement by the entire team.
We recognize that the Town will rely on our expertise to meet project objectives. As consultants, we are thoughtful in our approach to promptly assist the Town with solving the correct issues.
We cannot simply execute a task without using our experience with similar work that may influence the approach or deliverable for a specific task. We understand that clients hire us not because of the name on the door but because of the experience and commitment of each individual on our team.
Contract Document Development
We are highly skilled in developing clear and concise Contract Documents for a variety of improvement projects. F&L has focused on infrastructure improvement projects since our inception. Our wide-ranging expertise includes emergency repair projects and large-scale annual capital improvement programs. F&L staff is experienced with all construction methods for utility replacement and enhancements, including supplemental detention and auxiliary and main pump station designs. Our experience with a wide range of construction methods allows our staff to recognize constructability challenges during design development so special conditions and constraints can be identified within the Contract Documents and enable potential bidders to develop pricing reflective of anticipated site conditions and restrictions.
The Town will benefit from our staff’s experience with design development as we can leverage this knowledge gained on similar projects to develop solutions that address common challenges. F&L understands that each project is unique, and the existing site conditions must be carefully considered when developing infrastructure improvement plans, including evaluating available construction methods to avoid creating a project scope that is not constructible.
Facilitate Design Reviews
F&L proposes to incorporate facilitated design review meetings into each scope of work. The purpose of the facilitated meeting is to provide F&L staff with an opportunity to present the submittal to Town staff, who will review the technical information and engage staff in open discussions. Establishing a workshop setting with the Town and our staff encourages open discussions on comments and questions so they can be resolved quickly, resulting in schedule FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 8 savings. The workshops also provide an opportunity for our staff to explain detailed design assumptions that may help Town staff better understand constraints that could dictate a solution.
F&L will prepare detailed agendas and distribute them to all meeting attendees in advance of a workshop and will be responsible for facilitating the discussions. It will be apparent when a specific comment or question cannot be resolved during the meeting. Therefore, it becomes F&L’s responsibility to capture the comment/question, including providing a timeline for when the Town can expect a response. Finally, F&L will produce meeting minutes to memorialize discussions and responses to comments so that all team members will have a record of decisions for reference as the project moves forward.
Regulatory Requirements
There are many drivers for infrastructure improvement projects, with age being the most common reason for a utility owner to develop a capital improvement project; however, the evolving regulatory environment can also be a significant driver. Infrastructure improvement projects can result in numerous benefits, such as protecting human health by reducing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), improving the reliability of potable water supply through water main replacement, and reducing water quality impacts by reducing sediment load to streams and creeks.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and numerous other regulatory agencies and non-profits continually evaluate existing and pending regulatory requirements to identify new requirements that can significantly impact utility owners. As an engineering consultant, we can assist the Town with reviewing newly promulgated regulatory requirements and the status of evolving requirements. As the Town decides on the specific capital improvements, the impact of current and future regulatory requirements can significantly drive the cost and schedule of necessary improvements.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
In our experience, the engineering design effort to develop construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates requires both peer review during design development and principal-level review before every submittal. F&L has created a proactive quality control (QC) program for all our projects. We recognize that a passive review process where a reviewer is given a submittal at the last minute to review quickly before the submittal deadline does not provide the necessary oversight for our work product. All staff are involved in the QC program because it takes active engagement from staff preparing the detailed calculations, drawings, specifications, etc., and the assigned QA/QC officer to deliver a high-quality and complete product to the client.
The QA/QC program proposed for the Town’s projects may include:
• Written QA/QC work plans to identify key tasks from the scope of work and milestone deliverable dates to develop internal schedules to guide staff for the necessary review processes. The work plan will be amended for each task order issued, containing a specific scope and budget.
• Throughout the development of the project deliverables, the team will perform regular QC checks. The QC check involves bi-weekly team meetings where the project manager and key staff present progress to the QA/QC officer assigned to the project – fostering an environment of teamwork while minimizing the potential for the project development process to go off track.
FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 9 • We will perform a detailed QA/QC review and prepare submittal review logs for each submittal to allow the team and the TAC to document comments andresponses.
Foster Communication
Communication is a simple concept often sacrificed when schedules are tight. In our experience, the time to communicate openly and clearly is when the development of the project plans is at its most frenetic. Our communication plan includes regular telephone updates and conference calls geared to keep detailed decisions from obstructing deliverable timelines. We provide clear summaries of work completed included with each invoice along with a discussion of upcoming work, utilizing email to document key decisions and action items but not rely on email as a day-to-day communication tool, and identify issues along with potential solutions for review by the Town.
We have learned that proactive communication can reduce the potential for misunderstandings or surprises as the design work progresses. Our project manager understands that a brief phone call with the Town’s project manager provides an opportunity to review the project status, discuss the overall schedule, and notify the project manager about items that require input. We also understand that focused in-person meetings cannot be replaced with emails and phone calls, and meetings must be scheduled with an agenda. F&L will also prepare minutes to maximize the benefits ofmeeting times.
Regular Reporting
F&L believes that a design team is only successful when the client is fully aware of current progress, the status of issues, and the current budget status. F&L utilizes monthly reports that provide a high-level summary of work completed, budget status, and progress toward achieving key milestones. The purpose of the monthly reports is to provide a reporting tool for Town staff to present to Town management and the Council. Our monthly report will also highlight any key challenges encountered, including steps taken by F&L to address the challenges.
The key reporting tool utilized by F&L is the telephone. We recognize that there may be critical issues that are time-sensitive and need a phone call to the Town. We cannot rely on email or monthly reports for all matters. A phone call can also provide a brief update, even if there is no critical issue. Ultimately, F&L must actively communicate with the Town to avoid the potential for any surprises.
Engage All Stakeholders
We understand that we must work hand-in-hand with the Public Works. Navigating compliance with standards and specifications can be a complex and challenging process.
Our team is experienced and prepared to assist and support the Town in engaging multiple agencies – preparing and presenting designs and documents throughout the process, facilitating internal reviews, and obtaining approvals to prevent unnecessary delays or project complications.
Leveraging the F&L team’s experience will allow the Town to engage all appropriate parties to work through the approval process, including resolving any technical concerns or requirements that may impact a project’s scope, costs, and schedule changes.
Cost Estimates
Estimated costs must account for the current bidding environment and the potential construction complexity of proposed projects. Construction of new infrastructure can lead to FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 10 site-specific constraints that impact potential construction costs.
We are familiar with the bidding climate in the Bay Area, and our team will utilize our combined local knowledge, including up-to-date cost databases and automated spreadsheets, to develop comprehensive and accurate costestimates.
Public Engagement
Routine infrastructure improvement projects will result in temporary impacts on the public. It is critical to proactively engage the public to inform residents of the proposed improvements, including their long-term benefits for the community. F&L routinely assists with developing and implementing public outreach programs and can also take a leadership role in a public outreach program. In our experience, most of the complex challenges that an infrastructure improvement project faces from the public are when they need help understanding theintent and goal of a project. As a project design develops,
F&L will work with the Town to identify potential short-term impacts during construction, including contractual requirements the Town may consider incorporating into the final construction documents to manage the short-term implications. Some projects may require early and frequent engagement with the public if the potential construction impacts. In some cases, permanent impacts could be perceived as unreasonable if not correctly presented.
F&L will utilize numerous tools, including renderings, to assist the Town in presenting a project, its impacts, and its benefits to allow the public to develop a level of comfort with the project. In addition, we will assist the Town to engage and facilitate, as appropriate, public feedback on proposed improvements. It has been F&L’s experience that by engaging the public throughout the design process, some of the potential negative feedback can be addressed by providing the public with the appropriate context and background on the purpose and goals of the proposed improvements.

(650) 802-4201 | [email protected]
2023 – Present
The Pulgas Creek Watershed drains approximately 3.5 square miles within the City of San Carlos, portions of Belmont, and unincorporated San Mateo County. With two forks originating east of an open space preserve flowing through the City’s downtown area, a large portion of the channel is routed through multiple culverts upstream before passing under Highway 101 through a culvert lined with levees (protecting adjacent areas from tidal flooding) and flowing into Smith Slough. During storm-related events, the urbanized watershed’s 56 miles of pipelines and channels experience blockages, stormwater capacity, and overtopping creeks that flood roads, trails, and infrastructure. In addition, with a large portion of the upper watershed flowing through City Parks and public and private open spaces, the community requested restoration of the area to access natural resources, trails, and gathering spaces. Through the City’s East Side Innovation District Vision Plan and a private development project, opportunities to integrate a multi-use trail became integral to critical flood management strategies - potentially reducing the risk of residential damage and providing multi-beneficial green infrastructure solutions.
F&L is creating a comprehensive watershed plan by developing a multi-pronged strategic approach delivering solutions that include restoring natural processes, identifying intentional overbank flooding locations, resilient climate change designs, strategic permitting programs, trail and open space enhancement opportunities, and public education. F&L is identifying several key items for Plan development to present a range of locationbased, multi-beneficial solutions the City can advance as part of future Capital Improvement Projects. These approaches will provide risk reduction strategies to address flooding and sea level rise while meeting regulatory requirements, enhancing public safety, and integrating community benefits. • Project management, including coordination, monitoring, andadministration • Hydrology and hydraulic modeling, including review of existing Storm Drain Master Plan, and stream flow monitoring to monitor water levels during storm events • Topographic surveys at specific and strategic locations to validate key features in the hyrologic model and critical terrain for expected floodplain inundation and retention processes • Development of a public outreach strategy and outreach plan to keep community engaged and educated • Development of solutions, including alternative analysis through a goal-based risk assessment for potential flood mitigation solutions, sea level rise resiliency enhancements, improving public access opportunities, and documenting resource agency permitting requirements
• Providing technical studies, stakeholder feedback, and leveraging existing City efforts to provide a comprehensive strategy to advance improvements and enhancements that deliver multi-beneficial projects City of East Palo Alto Water System Design & Management East Palo Alto, California

In addition, F&L is responsible for managing the Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP) grant program that the City relied on to fund the design and construction of two groundwater resource establishment projects. F&L assists City staff with preparing staff reports, developing project budgets, and leading City Council presentations.
F&L has also completed the design of a new 5,000 LF 12-inch water transmission main and 1,500 LF 16-inch transmission main, both critical to improving fire flow throughout the distribution system. F&L worked closely with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to upgrade one of the three existing SFPUC turnouts (while also identifying the need and location for a fourth), providing East Palo Alto’s water supply as part of the transmission main design efforts. F&L utilizes East Palo Alto’s existing hydraulic model to evaluate potential routing options, predict the likely pressure and flow improvements with the upgraded SFPUC turnout, and develop opinions of probable cost for each alternative considered. F&L is developing a phased improvement program to allow East Palo Alto to implement a series of focused projects that will immediately improve available fire flow adjacent to several key redevelopment projects, including much-needed affordable housing. The project includes:
• Project and Construction Management of the Gloria Way Well Treatment Plant to complete the design, secure State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Drinking Water (DDW) approval, and oversee construction and startup of the groundwater treatmentsystem. • Develop solutions to address existing operational deficiencies while expanding the existing distribution system to meet the projected build-out conditions presented in the Vista 2035 General Plan. • Prepare clear construction documents to streamline permitting, cost estimation efforts, and construction. • Hydraulic modeling to develop improvement projects to improve available fire flow, address water age issues, and conform to the DWW-issued Corrective Action Plan. • Coordination with the SFPUC to upgrade existing turnouts and develop a fourth turnout to support ongoing development.

These actions would help tomaximize public safety and increase compliance with the Town’s Drainage Manual - becoming even more important with the bicycle and Complete Streetsefforts.
4.1 Proposed Scope and Deliverables
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
F&L will provide overall project management services, including:
• Prepare for and facilitate a kickoff meeting, including preparing agenda and minutes to discuss project goals, scope, schedule, and any issues that would need clarification prior to the start of work.
• Represent the Town, with the Town’s input and approval, incommunications with other external agencies as needed to deliver theProject.
• Prepare and submit monthly progress reports, including a summary of completed activities, proposed activities for next month, issues affecting project delivery, scope, schedule, or budget, consultants actions to mitigate issues, summary of project decisions, updated project schedule, budget status, percent of work complete and cost to complete remaining work, and other important projectinformation. • Prepare and submit a baseline schedule and monthly progress schedules. • Prepare for and facilitate bi-weekly progress review meetings in addition to periodic design meetings to keep the Town staff and stakeholders apprised of progress toward critical submittals identified in subsequenttasks.
Task 1 Deliverables
• Kickoff meeting agenda andminutes
• Baseline schedule
• Monthly project progress report and schedule submittedwith invoice • Biweekly Progress Meeting agendas andminutes
• Periodic Design Meetings with Town Staff andstakeholders TASK 2: REVIEW/COLLECT EXISTING CONDITIONS, DOCUMENTATION, AND INFORMATION Determine the extent of data available to support anticipated technical evaluation, identify data gaps that will be resolved as part of subsequent tasks, and document the F&L Team’s understanding of existing conditions. The F&L Team will provide the following tasks:
• Review of Town-provided documents, including:
° Operating and maintenance records,
° Existing utilities Geographic Information System (GIS)files, ° Existing local utility as-builtdocuments,
FREYER & LAURETA, INC. Civil Engineers · Surveyors · Construction Managers 16 ° Existing reference documents, including reports and technicalmemoranda, ° Review of other publicly available documents, including:
• Any Caltrans drainage documents and as-builts
• Applicable regional and Townwide permits include, but are not limited to MRP 3.0 • Hydrologic and environmental data, criteria, and relevant information from County, FEMA maps, latest USGS maps, NOAA, and otherpublic/agency sources.
The F&L team will prepare a brief memorandum presenting results of data review, including confirming existing conditions, identifying data to be collected, and the next steps. The memorandum is not intended to be a technical deliverable for Town review, but will be integrated into the overall description of existing conditions, outline the data gaps, and serve to inform the PS&E process that will be addressed as part of subsequent tasks. F&L will conduct a supplemental survey necessary to develop topographic and base maps as part of the PS&E effort and to validate any conflicting information that may exist regarding boundaries, drainage patterns, easements, and rights-of-way.
Task 2 Deliverables
• Existing Data Review, Data Gaps Identification, and Next Steps Memorandum • Memorandum describing the extents of the supplemental survey efforts TASK 3: ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
F&L will use it’s expertise with the CEQA process to assess the environmental documentation necessary to obtain environmental clearances for the project and the mitigation requirements that may be necessary. Any impacts to the downstream stormwater conveyances will be calculated in a later phase to the extent required by the permitting agencies to support the proposed design modifications of the Town storm drain system and demonstrate acceptable downstream conditions.
Since surface stormwater flows in the Town along the El Camino Real corridor eventually meet at the same discharge point into San Francisco Bay, routing flows from Stockbridge/Selby areas to the Atherton Channel may have minimal overall hydraulic impacts compared to the realized benefits of reduced flooding in other areas.
Specialized studies for biological evaluations, habitat assessment, 401 and 404 permitting, any endangered or threatened species surveys, and nesting bird or bat surveys will be part of an allowance in a later phase for direction from Town staff on an as-needed basis of the PS&E and construction efforts.
Task 3 Deliverables
• Initial assessment of probable CEQA classification and mitigation . • List of specialized studies that may likely be needed for regulatory approval.
TASK 4: PROJECT DESIGN AND PERMITTING

drainage master plan. This plan successfully mitigated for the entire future project with a mixed-use concept for the regional drainage systems by routing the flows through a meandering golf course throughout the project.
Highway 65 Self Storage Design, Roseville, California. Principal engineer responsible for the environmental review, design review and final design of a 6-acre self-storage facility in Roseville, California. The project site included areas of 100-year flood plain, 404 &1602 permit areas and a designated wetland, which all had constraints and design guidelines to be coordinated, as a portion of Orchard Creek was rerouted around the project, creating nearly four additional acres of developable land. Additionally, a CLOMR/LOMR-F was required to remove a portion of the site out of the 100-year flood plainboundary.
Brinkman Waterman Logistics Center, Elk Grove, California. Water Resource Engineer responsible for the Elk Grove Creek LOMR and onsite hydrology, hydraulics and water quality design for a 30-acre light industrial complex. This project consisted of field exploration to verify previously incorrectly modeled structures at both the Waterman Road and the Union Pacific Railroad crossings. This project also included the onsite design of a private basin which alleviated over 30 cfs from the peak in the adjacent Elk Grove Creek through the use of a weir and flap gates.
Four40 West, West Sacramento, California. Principal designer and water resource engineer for the 106- lot subdivision in West Sacramento. This project was fully undeveloped in the existing condition and was not capable of connecting to the public storm drain due to both proximity and capacity. Mrs. Bair created a dual-use design for both hydraulic and residential public purposes. Meandering paseos, a public park, a dog park and a community garden were created on top of an intricate system of infiltration trenches. The entire housing community will infiltrate up to the 100-year, 10-day storm event and alleviate the need for additional flows to be added into the already stressed existing public storm drain system.
Sierra View Tree Mitigation Bank, Roseville, California. Water resource engineer for the tree mitigation bank to offset the removal of 158 native oak trees. The proposed residential project converted 23 undeveloped acres into 75 low density residential lots and was granted a tree removal permit to install the public roadways and utilities. A mitigation bank was established to offset the impact of the removed trees.
The proposed mitigation area was along the banks the Pleasant Grove Creek, which required an advance flood control analysis to evaluate the impacts not only the increased Manning’s value, but also the potential of downed trees and undergrowth potentially creating a blocked scenario along the extents of the mitigation project.

RELAVENT PROJECTS
Castro Valley Sanitation District – Sanitary Sewer Rehab, Castro Valley, CA We topographic survey maps for the rehabilitation of an aging sanitary sewer system located in Castro Valley.
The base maps included property detailed topography and a clear understanding of the existing sewer facilities for design of a functioning replacement system that minimized the construction-related impact to the property owners.
City of Burlingame Public Works – Sanitary Sewer Rehab, Burlingame, CA We provided base maps for the rehabilitation of an aging sanitary sewer system located in an older neighborhood in the City of Burlingame. Most of the sewer mains were in easements in the rear yards of residential lots, so a base map that included property boundaries and easement lines, detailed topography, and a clear understanding of the existing sewer facilities was critical to the design of a functioning replacement system that minimized the construction-related impact to the property owners.
Meta-Facebook, Menlo Park, CA
Currently, we are providing professional land surveying services for the Civil Engineering firm that is preparing the on-site and off-site improvement plans for Meta-Facebook's new 60-acre campus in Menlo Park. As the lead surveyors, we have established and maintained the primary survey control network, resolved the project boundary, which is adjoined on one side by a State Highway, and another side by a railroad right-of-way, and provided topography for the entire site. I also prepared a new subdivision map that reconfigures the lotting and rights-of-way. All easements of record have been retraced and are included in the primary drawing file.
Currently, we are at the front end of preparing right-of-way takes and abandonments that are a by-product of the reconfiguration of the adjoining street and highway at what will be the new entrances to the campus.
Same for an overhead pedestrian bridge that will connect their existing campus to their new campus.
California High-Speed Rail Authority, CA
Managing the right of way surveying of the Merced to Fresno section of the California High-Speed Rail. The work included land net maps, appraisal maps, legal descriptions, plats, resolution of necessity documents, exhibits for various agency agreements and transfer documents, and records of surveys. We worked closely with the High-Speed Rail Authority, various local and State agencies, right of way agents, and design build teams.
Tri-Dam Project – Donnels Dam, Tuolumne County, CA
Comprehensive as-built documentation of Donnells Dam in Tuolumne County, including the upstream and downstream faces, thrust block, outfall, and spillway gate structures. The completed work product would be used to further analyze the existing condition of the dam and associated structures and to meet the requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A combination of advanced measurement instruments, foremost among these was the Leica Geosystems ScanStation C10 3D Laser Scanner, was used.
Additionally, control and monitoring surveys were completed using a fully robotic total station survey instrument. The result was comprehensive as-built documentation of the dam, on time and on budget.
