Kimley-Horn will rely upon City staff to provide available project-related design documents, related engineering studies, as well as City staff’s participation in project status meetings, agency coordination, and real estate transactions. Additionally, Kimley-Horn will rely on City staff’s timely review and responses of work products to maintain the project schedule.
Specific tasks for City staff’s participation are listed below. For each of these, Kimley-Horn will schedule and lead the meetings unless the City prefers otherwise. Kimley-Horn will provide documentation of meetings with minutes and action items.
City staff to participate in monthly PDT Meetings.
City staff to participate in separate update and focus meetings as needed. Utility Coordination Letters will be prepared by Kimley-Horn but sent out on City letterhead. City staff to participate in monthly FRA update meetings and the CPUC Diagnostic Meetings. City staff to participate in UPRR Coordination efforts. City staff to lead negotiations with UPRR on C&M Agreement. City staff to participate in Caltrans coordination efforts. City to provide contract provisions for solicitation and agreement with Contractor (i.e. front-end documents) Kimley-Horn has a long history of providing successful, innovative, and cost-efficient solutions and takes pride in thinking beyond preconceived notions to develop innovative solutions that exceed the expectations of our clients. Our professional team evaluates emerging technology and applies it where it can benefit our projects. We know how to think outside of the box and recognize what trends offer sound design advantages.
For the Hargrave Grade Separation, we offer the following creative approaches:
Adjacent Developments
Our knowledge of the adjacent developments and projects offers opportunities for cost savings. Two examples described earlier in the Approach are 1) the potential to identify redevelopment parcels and reduce costly retaining walls; and 2) the potential to show traffic distribution that justifies an ultimate four-lane facility versus six lanes.
In addition, our team can help coordinate a mutually beneficial arrangement with Morongo to establish access to Section 12 (West) for their development that includes Morongo’s support on the Hargrave Grade Separation. This will also help attract federal funding for construction.
Utility Relocations
Our team will seek additional creative options for utility relocations. We present a jack-and-bore option in the Approach, and will also consider ultimate city facilities, and investigate partnerships with the adjacent developments.
UPRR Approvals
Our approach with UPRR approvals considers two elements for success: 1) providing permanent drainage improvements with the shoofly tracks that adds incentive for UPRR; and 2) based on past experience, develop a contractor work plan that keeps the project moving in the event that UPRR is late on providing approvals.
Schedule
The schedule shows a 36-month duration based on the Scope of Work in the RFP. We believe there are ways to expedite this if desired. We would like to discuss the Project Concept Approval process and potential overlap with design.
Kimley-Horn does not anticipate the need to utilize any City owned facility or property which we would use, lease, purchase, or rent from the City in connection with the services to be performed under this contract.

B. Company Information
Kimley-Horn Overview
Founded in 1967, Kimley-Horn is a full-service
engineering, planning, and environmental firm
specializing in transportation infrastructure
projects in Southern California. Our firm
consists of more than 8,200 employees in 134
offices nationwide, with 13 offices in California,
and over 540 employees in Southern
California. Our local Southern California
offices, including our Riverside office, provide
complete roadway/highway planning, PID, PA/
ED, PS&E, and construction phase services.
We provide a thorough knowledge of local
requirements and exceptional agency
relationships with Caltrans and key
stakeholders including the City of Banning.
Our extensive history partnering with agencies
to improve California’s roadways shows that
our team has the skills and commitment to
successfully deliver this project.
Our professionals are highly experienced
in solving challenges unique to grade separation and roadway design projects. Our team has gained the trust of railroad staff and their decision makers, helping us push forward innovative solutions that address stakeholders’ concerns. We understand local agency procedures, enabling us to minimize delays and provide efficient submittals; and our network of relationships enables our team to provide a high level of service.
Grade Separations
We have more than 350 engineers and technical staff located in Southern California and have the resources to assist in the successful delivery of grade separations, and similar roadway and rail projects. Since a large portion of our work involves roadway reconstruction and bridges, our civil and structural engineers are accustomed to collaborating to provide innovative and cost-saving solutions to our clients. In fact, the Kimley-Horn team has done this successfully on hundreds of grade separations in California, including many recent projects described in this proposal.
Structural Design
Typically, structures are the highest cost and risk drivers in rail transit and transportation projects, much of which is related to site characteristics. Kimley-Horn uniquely combines project critical site condition understanding with robust structure design capabilities. Our success on the Sunset Avenue grade separation project and several others included in this proposal will provide the City with extra assurance regarding our quality, efficiency, and ability to deliver. 767

Railroad Coordination and Design
Our recent project success for work involving the railroad is a testament to our team’s strength in railroad coordination and our ability to secure approvals from agencies including UPRR, Metrolink, BNSF, CaHSR, and the CPUC. We have formulated a proven team approach to the rail component of our grade separation projects that actively seeks a win-win solution and presents the railroad with all feasible alternatives. This involves our rail designers who have recently worked closely with UPRR reviewers on several projects to efficiently address their concerns and obtain approvals.
Roadway Design
Our team has performed planning and final design for numerous miles of roadway, including grade separations, local arterials, interstate highways, state highways, highway interchanges, and structures. These projects—performed within Riverside County and throughout Southern California—each involved some element of planning, environmental studies, preliminary engineering, final design PS&E, and construction support. A primary focus of our team is getting through the Caltrans process.

Darren brings over 33 years of planning, design, and construction of transportation facilities within Southern California including extensive experience with grade separations, interchanges, and at-grade intersections. He is highly knowledgeable with local, state, and federal regulations and has worked on projects involving Caltrans District 8 his entire career. Darren has been involved with concept, preliminary and final design of over 90 railroad grade separations. His recent construction experience on the Fullerton Road Grade Separation and McKinley Grade Separation as Design Manager and Engineer of Record put him in the perfect position to be hands-on and address the latest environmental, design, and regulatory requirements for grade separations along the UPRR corridor. Darren’s unique qualifications include significant experience with Caltrans interchanges, rail design, and municipal roadway/utilities. This enables Darren to provide management and oversight in an efficient manner that reduces project risks and presents cost and schedule savings.
Relevant Experience
County of Riverside, I-10/Sunset Avenue Grade Separation PA/ED and PS&E, Banning, CA (District 8) – Engineering Manager
Darren managed the PA/ED phase and
provided design support and reviews
during the PS&E phase. The project grade
separated the UPRR double tracks to create an underpass directly adjacent to the I-10/Sunset Avenue interchange by lowering Sunset Avenue and the interchange ramps and slightly raised the UPRR tracks to achieve required vertical clearances. The project was able to obtain environmental approvals from Caltrans for NEPA technical studies in only six months—a process that typically takes two years.
City of Corona, SR 91/McKinley Street Grade Separation, Corona, CA (District 8) – Kimley-Horn Project Manager Darren led the design effort to establish the project concept, and then oversaw the PS&E phase for Kimley-Horn’s work. This included all the design and coordination for roadways, traffic, construction staging, utility relocations, drainage, water quality, and adjacent site modifications. It also included leading the PEER process with approvals through Caltrans and assisting with right-of-way requirements. The project involved a new overpass of the BSSF tracks with connector road that required modifications to the SR 91 freeway interchange and all of the adjacent properties.

SGVCOG, SR 60/Fullerton Road Grade Separation, City of Industry, CA – Civil/Roadway Manager Darren was responsible for the design and coordination for all roadways, rail, traffic, construction staging, adjacent site modifications, and utility relocations. The project included leading the PEER process with approvals through Caltrans and assisting with right-of-way requirements. It created a new underpass of a major arterial at the UPRR double mainline tracks (LA Subdivision) by raising the tracks 8.5 feet and lowering Fullerton Road approximately 15 feet. This included the design for shoofly tracks and new mainline tracks extending over two miles in length.
County of Riverside, I-10 Bypass PA/ED, Riverside County, CA (District 8) – Project Manager Darren managed a project that updated the previous project initiation studies and completed the PA/ED phase for a new three-mile roadway connecting the City of Banning with the Community of Cabazon. The project had complex environmental issues requiring an EIR for CEQA, and initially an EIS for NEPA.
Darren and his team were able to work with Caltrans to
downgrade the NEPA document from an EIS to a Complex EA.
Darren led the discussions with environmental resource
agencies and ultimately assisted the County in negotiating reasonable mitigation measures which resulted in successful environmental clearance without legal challenge.
OCTA, 17th Street Grade Separation PA/ED, Orange County, CA – Project Manager Darren was responsible for preliminary engineering and
environmental documentation to meet CEQA and NEPA
requirements for a SE/CE. The project proposes to provide an underpass to separate the heavily congested Metrolink corridor with 17th Street, one of the only major east-west arterials in the area. Darren worked closely with the City of Santa Ana and Metrolink to obtain concurrence on the design concept and traffic operations during construction to minimize impacts to businesses and residents in a diverse, sensitive community.
SCRRA, Simi Valley Double Tack and Station Improvements, Simi Valley, CA – Project Manager Darren was responsible for the final design documents for two miles of additional mainline track along the Metrolink Ventura County Line (VCL) through Simi Valley. The project includes a second Metrolink platform at the station; a pedestrian
underpass; an industry spur being modified; and five grade crossings being upgraded to accommodate a second track.
SCRRA, Canyon Double Track Extension, Santa Clarita, CA – Project Manager Darren was responsible for developing final design documents on schedule for the extension of the Saugus Siding, near existing CP Canyon, to the Santa Clarita Station along the AVL at MP 34.3 in Santa Clarita. The project includes 1.8 miles of double-tracking; a new railroad bridge for a roadway underpass; grade crossing improvements; the addition of a second platform to the existing Metrolink station; modification to the existing station; and a pedestrian underpass to access the second platform. It also includes extensive environmental permitting since the original EIR performed very limited field observations. 779

County of Riverside, I-10/Sunset Avenue Interchange Railroad Grade Separation PA/ED and PS&E, Banning, CA
Kimley-Horn, as prime consultant, prepared the Environmental Document (ED) and final design (PS&E) package for the UPRR railroad grade separation project adjacent to the I-10/Sunset Avenue interchange in the City of Banning, located within Caltrans District 8. Prior to the final design phase, Kimley-Horn completed the CEQA/NEPA documentation, which obtained environmental approvals from Caltrans for NEPA technical studies in only six months—a process that typically takes two years. The project included modification to the interchange ramps and lowering Sunset Avenue to accommodate the railroad grade separation. The project also included raising the UPRR double tracks, shoofly tracks, new bridge structure, tie-back walls under I-10, drainage design, utility coordination and design, landscape architecture, and complex stage construction. To save $10 million in funding, Kimley-Horn partnered with Riverside County to rescope the project and persuaded Caltrans to classify this project as a streamlined project. In addition, Kimley-Horn assisted the City with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) application and the Construction and Maintenance (C&M) Agreement.

However, in certain instances and at the discretion of the sponsoring agency, it is sometimes prudent to undertake certain limited environmental studies in order to better understand and manage the consequences of a particular proposed railroad grade separation.
833
Such is the case for the Project, for which the City and Caltrans have determined that certain selected studies should be undertaken.
5.1 CEQA STATUTORY EXEMPTION
Consultant shall prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) and provide it to the City for approval and submittal to the County of Riverside for recordation and State Clearinghouse.
Deliverables:
o CEQA Notice of Exemption (one electronic copy)
• Statutory Exemption Memorandum (Optional)
The project involves the construction of a railroad grade separation, which is Statutorily Exempt (SE) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(g) and Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080.13. The KimleyHorn team will assist the City of Banning in preparing the Notice of Exemption (NOE) and supporting memorandum for a Statutory Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(g) and PRC 21080.13 for the project. The form and memorandum will be provided to the City for one round of review (each). The Kimley-Horn team will assist the City by filing the NOE with the California State Clearinghouse. The City is responsible for filing the NOE with the County Clerk and paying the associated filing fee.
Deliverables:
o Memorandum to support Statutory Exemption (one electronic copy)
5.2 NEPA
The Project will receive federal funds and therefore NEPA compliance is required, and Caltrans Local Assistance involvement is anticipated. Unless otherwise specified, scope of work tasks will be completed by Consultant's staff. Consultant shall develop Project Vicinity and Project Location Maps, as well as a set of maps that clearly shows the location and features of the design under consideration.
Additionally, base mapping of the environmental components/data including hazardous materials sites, and land uses and right-of-way sites. Data from publicly available sources will be used and adjusted, where appropriate, based on field surveys and observations conducted by the Consultant.
The following list includes the studies that may be included in this scope:
o Traffic Study
o Cultural Resources
o Biological
o Air Quality
o Noise Study
o Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Hazardous Materials) • Traffic Study
o Traffic Forecasting and Operations Assessment Methodology and Assumptions Memorandum:
o A Memorandum will be prepared to describe the methodology and approach for the traffic forecasting and traffic operations assessment for preparation of the Traffic Volumes Report, Traffic Study Report (TSR), TOAR and Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE). The 834
Memorandum ensures the Traffic Volumes Report, TSR, TOAR and ICE will be completed according to the current Caltrans and City of Banning traffic analysis protocols for traffic studies and methodologies. As such, traffic volumes will be prepared consistent with the 2014 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Revision 7 (2014 CA MUTCD, Rev 7), Caltrans’ Traffic Signal Operations Manual, Caltrans’ Transportation Impact Study Guide (TISG), Caltrans' Traffic Operations Policy Directive (TOPD) 21-14, along with the Caltrans’ Engineering, Operational, and Safety Analysis (EOSA) Guidance for Interstate Access Control Modifications (November 2021), and the City’s Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for Local Transportation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis (TIA Guidelines), dated October 2021.
o The Memorandum will summarize the following assumptions for preparation of the Traffic Volumes Report and traffic study:
Identification of the study area
Analysis scenarios to be analyzed
Volume development methodology
Performance methodology and criteria
It is anticipated that the following analysis scenarios would need to be included in the analysis:
Existing conditions
Opening Year No Build Alternative conditions
Opening Year with Build Alternative conditions (up to one design alternative) Design Year No Build Alternative conditions
Design Year with Build Alternative conditions (up to one design alternative) o Identification of the Study Area
Based on the project understanding, the study area for the TSR shall include up to six intersections and five roadway segments along Hargrave Street between Ramsey Street and Lincoln Street. Additionally, the analysis will include evaluation of the Hargrave Street widening from two-lane undivided to four-lane divided between the I-10 eastbound ramps to Lincoln Street. It should be noted that the ultimate buildout of Hargrave Street will consist of six traffic lanes. However, this ultimate six-lane widening is considered a separate project in which the planned construction is currently unprogrammed/unknown and will also require reconstruction of the existing I-10 freeway overcrossing at Hargrave Street.
However, as previously mentioned, the TOAR study area may need to examine traffic and operational analyses for the Hargrave Street interchange, as well as the adjacent interchanges. As such, traffic volumes will need to be developed for intersections and roadway segments at the adjacent I-10/8th Street interchange to the west and I-10/Ramsey Street interchange to the east. Additionally, traffic volumes for the freeway segments along the I-10 throughout the three interchanges will need to be developed. The final study area for the TOAR will be determined in consultation with project staff, City staff, and Caltrans staff.
o Draft/Final Memorandum
835
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a draft Traffic Forecasting and Operations Assessment Methodology and Assumptions Memorandum. The draft memorandum will be submitted to Caltrans staff as an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file for review.
Deliverables: Traffic Forecasting and Operations Assessment Methodology and Assumptions Memorandum [Draft and Final]
o Caltrans Traffic Reports
Traffic Volumes Report
The Traffic Volumes Report for the proposed project will be prepared based on methodologies outlined and approved in the Memorandum. The Kimley-Horn team will develop traffic volumes that will be included in the Traffic Volumes Report and submit the volumes to Caltrans for approval prior to preparation of the TSR and TOAR. It needs to be noted that the Traffic Volumes Report is also used for preparation of the air quality and noise analyses. The traffic, air quality, and noise analyses use different systems for categorizing vehicles. Traffic analyses categorize vehicles based on the number of axles.
The air quality analysis is based on vehicle weight, while the noise analysis is based on the number of tires. The project team will utilize a correspondence table to convert the traffic forecasts from the Riverside County Model (RIVCOM), which uses the four-class system, into the eight-class system used for air quality analysis and the five-class system used for noise analysis based on recent experience working with Caltrans. Additionally, Caltrans may require collection of traffic counts Average Daily Trips (ADT)/Peak Hour by vehicle type and axle within the vicinity of Hargrave interchange for traffic index calculations. However, this is unknown at this time and volume development for this analysis has not been included as part of this scope of work.
The following tasks will be conducted as part of the Traffic Volumes Report:
o Data Collection
The following data will be required to prepare the traffic analysis for the proposed project:
Existing Counts. The Kimley-Horn team will contract with a qualified data collection company to obtain existing peak hour and roadway segment counts for areas identified in the TOAR and TSR. Based on prior experiences on similar projects, Caltrans may request for two days of 24-hour intersection turn volumes for study intersections. Freeway segment data will be collected from Caltrans Performance Measurement System (PeMS) data source or other approved sources.
Information on Cumulative Projects. Information about major approved or pending cumulative projects will be gathered from the City’s Planning Division and the adjacent jurisdictions of County of Riverside and City of Beaumont so that traffic generated by those projects may be incorporated into the TSR and TOAR. The socioeconomic data in the Riverside County Transportation Model (RIVCOM) will be reviewed to ensure that applicable cumulative projects are included in the forecast scenario of the model. Major development projects to be included are the remaining unbuilt portions of the Sundance Specific Plan, Butterfield Specific Plan, Sunset Crossroads Specific Plan, Rancho San Gorgonio Specific Plan, Banning Municipal Airport redevelopment, and applicable projects within County of Riverside and City of Beaumont.
o RIVCOM Travel Demand Model Refinement
836
For purposes of this analysis, the RIVCOM will be utilized for developing forecast traffic volumes.
As previously referenced, it should be noted that the adjacent vicinities of County of Riverside and City of Beaumont has many future development projects and roadway circulation network improvements (e.g., I-10 Bypass) that are currently either under planning or to be constructed prior to project opening year. Based on prior experience on other projects within the City, the following would need to be included for analysis:
Cumulative Projects: The model’s socioeconomic data under the future scenario will be evaluated to ensure that all cumulative projects are appropriately included in the model.
Based on our experience using RIVCOM, the model doesn’t include full build-out of majority of projects in Riverside County. The model would need to be updated to appropriately include the socio-economic data for such projects prior to developing forecast traffic volumes for this analysis.
I-10 Bypass: Banning to Cabazon Project: The project team had previously worked on the traffic analyses for the I-10 Bypass – Banning to Cabazon project. This project is located east of the City of Banning. There is currently no local roadway that connects the City of Banning to the unincorporated community of Cabazon to the east except for the I-10. The I-10 Bypass project will construct a new local roadway to connect Banning and Cabazon to provide an alternative route between the two jurisdictions.
City of Banning Update of Traffic Fee Component of the Development Fee Program: The Kimley-Horn team had previously prepared the update to the traffic fee component of the City’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program. The fee program examined intersection operations and recommended planned capacity and signalization improvements for buildout of the General Plan. Consultant had previously examined the Hargrave Street corridor as part of the fee program update.
The Kimley-Horn team will discuss with Caltrans and City staff to confirm the updates required in RIVCOM within the project study area to ensure all projects and roadway circulation improvements are included in the future analysis scenarios. o Existing Traffic Volumes
As previously described, existing traffic volumes will be developed using existing peak hour intersection turn volumes for study intersections and daily traffic volumes for roadway segments. Freeway segment volumes will be developed using PeMS data.
The methodology of developing existing traffic volumes will be finalized in consultation with Caltrans and City staff in the memo.
o Opening Year Traffic Volumes
The Kimley-Horn team will develop opening year traffic volumes for intersections, roadway segments, and freeway segments identified for analysis. It is anticipated that the opening year volumes will be developed based on forecast data obtained from updated RIVCOM and in consultation with Caltrans. The methodology of developing opening year traffic volumes will be finalized in consultation with Caltrans in the memo. o Design Year Traffic Volumes
The Kimley-Horn team will develop design year traffic volumes for intersections, roadway segments, and freeway segments identified for analysis. It is anticipated that the design 837
year volumes will be developed based on forecast data obtained from updated RIVCOM and in consultation with Caltrans. Design year volumes for intersections, roadway segments, and freeway segments will be developed by post-processing base year and future year traffic model volumes obtained from RIVCOM. Design year volumes will be developed by applying the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) procedures to obtain post-processed traffic volumes from the model. The methodology of developing design year traffic volumes will be finalized in consultation with Caltrans in the memo.
o Draft/Final Traffic Volumes Report
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare traffic volume summary tables and figures along with a volume development report for both the TSR and TOAR. The draft traffic volume report will be submitted to Caltrans and the City as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for review. The Kimley-Horn team will address up to one round of comments from Caltrans and City for finalizing the Traffic Volume Report. Upon addressing comments, the final Traffic Volume Report will be submitted to Caltrans for approval.
o Deliverables: Traffic Volumes Report [Draft and Final] • Cultural Resources
Prepare an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), an Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), and a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) for the proposed undertaking pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The reports will be completed pursuant to Caltrans guidelines and formats. All efforts will be completed by, or under the supervision of, cultural resources management professionals that meet Secretary of the Interior and Caltrans Professional Qualifications Standards (PQS) for Archaeology and Architectural History. Efforts completed for this task are outlined below:
Area of Potential Effect Delineation: Cultural resources management staff will develop an Area of Potential Effect (APE) Map and submit to Caltrans for review. For the purposes of this scope, the APE is generally defined as Hargrave St. and the associated ROW between Lincoln St. and Ramsey St., as well as the on/off-ramps and John Street between Florida Street and Hargrave Street and the shoofly limits within UPRR right-of-way as described herein. This scope includes up to two updates to the APE Map based upon Caltrans comments.
Research: As the cultural resources records for Riverside County are not currently available due to the closure of the Eastern Information Center (EIC) and as no updates have been provided by the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) as to when they will become available at a new location, this scope does not include a record search within the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). However, cultural resources management staff will submit a records search request for the approved APE to Caltrans and the City of Banning to obtain any cultural resources records the agencies may have on file.
Staff will additionally review applicable databases, such as the NRHP, CRHR, BERD, etc., to identify any listed cultural resources located within the APE plus a 0.5-mile buffer. Staff will further research geomorphology and land use history through resources such as historic aerials and topographic maps.
Outreach: Cultural resources management staff will request a tribal consultation list and records search of Sacred Lands Files (SLF) through the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the APE. Staff will contact the Native American Tribes listed on the NAHC’s consultation list to request any information about cultural resources or sacred sites in or near the APE. Outreach will include one initial 838
correspondence and up to one additional follow-up correspondence to the Tribes on the contact list.
Staff will also contact up to two historical organizations or societies as part of the outreach effort for the ASR. Any additional outreach effort required by Caltrans will require an adjusted scope and fee.
Field Survey: Staff will conduct a pedestrian survey of the entirety of the APE. Survey methods will be non-collective and all identified cultural resources will be recorded utilizing CA DPR 523 series forms.
This scope also accounts for the evaluation of recorded historic resources for eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Reports: Upon conclusion of all research, outreach, and field survey efforts, an ASR, HRER, and HSPR will be produced that will follow Caltrans formats and guidelines.
Exclusions
- Due to the built environment of the project area, it is assumed that neither Extended Phase I Report (XPIR) nor an Archaeological Evaluation Report (AER) will be necessary and, therefore, not included in this scope
- This scope does not include any effort related to consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
- This scope does not include any effort related to formal consultation with Native American Tribes. All outreach to Tribes outlined in the scope is for the purposes of gathering information for the report and does not constitute consultation required under AB52 (CEQA, as amended) or Section 106 of the NHPA

• Biological
o Natural Environmental Study (Minimal Impacts) (NES-MI) The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) (NESMI) in accordance with the Caltrans Environmental Handbook, Volume 3. The NES-MI will document and evaluate the natural habitat and other land cover types in the project area and determine whether the proposed project would result in impacts to special-status species/habitat. The NES-MI will be prepared using the Caltrans prescribed format available on the Standard Environmental Reference (SER) website (August 12, 2022). If listed species have the potential to occur, a Biological Assessment (BA) report would be required; however, listed special-status species or their habitats are not expected to occur in the project area and are therefore excluded from this scope.
In order to determine the likelihood of special-status species occurrence on site, our team will conduct a literature search of publicly available biological resources lists and maps (e.g., the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of 839
California, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database). Our team biologists will also utilize their knowledge of southern California biological resources to determine the likelihood of any special-status species occurrence on site. If necessary and upon Caltrans request, we will prepare a formal inquiry letter for Caltrans to submit to the USFWS and the CDFW requesting identification of any State or federally listed species potentially occurring in the area.
Following the literature review, our team biologists will perform reconnaissance-level field surveys of the Biological Study Area to assess plant and wildlife habitats and to document existing conditions (including vegetation mapping and photographs). Two field visits by two biologists are assumed for this effort.
The Kimley-Horn team will identify applicable permits necessary for implementation of the construction phase of the project. Coordination with the resource agencies (i.e. USFWS, CDFW, Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB]), may be necessary and would be conducted in coordination with and under the guidance of Caltrans. Many cities and counties in California have tree preservation ordinances and local land use policies with which transportation agencies and their agents must comply.
Focused surveys for Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii) are not anticipated to be required due to the condition of the project site based on a preliminary evaluation of aerial imagery and are not included in this scope of work.
o Jurisdictional Delineation (JD)
The Kimley-Horn team will conduct a routine wetland delineation and areas of potential jurisdiction will be evaluated according to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Environmental Laboratory 2008), and State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State (State Water Resources Control Board 2019). The jurisdictional limit of non-wetland waters will be identified following the procedures set forth in 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 328.3(e) and applicable resource agency guidelines. Further, the extent of any streambed and associated riparian areas subject to review by the CDFW under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code will be determined. The jurisdictional delineation will be conducted simultaneously with the reconnaissance-level field survey required for the NES-MI. Our team will prepare a Preliminary Jurisdictional Delineation (PJD) memo that will include an analysis of wetland features within the project boundary. This preliminary analysis will help determine whether there are USACE jurisdictional waters as early in the project review process as possible. The memo will be submitted directly to the City, will be informative in nature and is not anticipated to have comments or require revisions. The full results of the delineation will be presented in a Jurisdictional Delineation report that will include mapping of any wetland and jurisdictional areas. This report will define the project constraints associated with nonwetland waters, wetlands, and riparian habitat. The jurisdictional delineation report will be an attachment to the NES-MI. The results of the determination are subject to verification by the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW. We have included up to four hours of coordination with the resource agencies and City regarding the jurisdictional status of delineated features. 840
o Bat Habitat Assessment
A bat habitat assessment will be conducted within the project area to determine whether suitable trees or other roosting habitat for bats occur. If suitable roosting habitat is present within the project area and is anticipated to be impacted, this scope does not include the effort to cover the additional effort for nighttime bat surveys.
A Bat Habitat Assessment Report will be prepared following completion of the habitat assessment. The report will document the results of the habitat assessment. The locations of suitable trees or other roosting habitat and confirmed bat roosts, if present, will be clearly shown in map figures included with the report. The report will also provide recommendations for appropriate site- and species-specific avoidance and minimization strategies. One round of consolidated City review and comment is assumed for the Bat Habitat Assessment Report. The Bat Habitat Assessment Survey Report will be an attachment to the NES-MI. If focused surveys during maternity nesting season are required, a scope and budget adjustment would be required.
o MSHCP Consistency Analysis
The following details the scope required to conduct a NES-MI and MSHCP consistency analysis. Additional species and biological resources surveys will be recommended if site conditions warrant and regulatory requirements mandate. We will conduct a literature review to identify sensitive species known or reported to occur within the project area. The literature review will include the California Natural Diversity Database, the California Native Plant Society Electronic Inventory, and MSHCP documents. Our team biologist familiar with the habitats and sensitive resources of the region will conduct a general on-site field survey. Additionally, a qualified biologist will conduct a habitat assessment for sensitive fairy shrimp. Based on the literature review and field survey, an assessment of the potential habitat value for survey species identified in the MSHCP and identification of any additional focused species surveys that may be necessary (including burrowing owl, narrow endemic plants, etc.). The Consistency Report will include discussion of: 1) the presence of jurisdictional wetlands, waters of the U.S., or streambeds/habitats as defined by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), respectively: 2) results of any focused surveys, if needed; 3) project consistency with the conservation objectives of the MSHCP and recommendations of measures to achieve consistency, as necessary; and 3) impacts to sensitive biological resources, graphics, and maps as needed to show the project location and vicinity, the project relationship to designated critical habitat areas, and the project relationship to NEPA for any biological resources or habitat areas on the site that may require additional study for CEQA review or for compliance with the MSHCP.
The report will be submitted electronically. Upon review/revision, we will submit a PDF of the final report. The PDF will include all text, graphics, and supporting appendices. If requested, hard copies may be provided on a time-and-materials basis.
A copy of the NES-MI (and associated JD/Bat Assessment and MSHCP Consistency Analysis) will be sent to the City (MSHCP-permittee) as required under the MSHCP. o Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP) Report (Optional) The MSHCP requires preparation of a DBESP when Riverine/riparian resources, burrowing owl, or NEPSSA plants, and some other MSHCP-covered resources, are found to be present 841
on site and would be impacted by the project. Based on initial review and potential for diversion of flows west of Hargrave Street, the proposed project may impact riverine/riparian resources as the feature present is assumed to also be jurisdictional by CDFW. If based on the field surveys that the sensitive resources described above or any other MSHCP-covered resources are identified onsite and will be impacted, a DBESP will be prepared consistent with the April 2023 template using the surveys, hydrology, drainage water quality and other technical information and reporting prepared as part of this scope of work and submit to the City for review and comment. Once comments have been addressed and revisions approved by the City, the City will submit the DBESP to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA), for agency review. The DBESP would be reviewed by the CDFW and USFWS during a 60-day review and response period. Upon receipt of comments, we will revise the draft DBESP and submit a final DBESP to the City for submittal to CDFW and USFWS. If further technical analysis is required by the agencies for inclusion in the DBESP, beyond that identified in this scope of work, amendment to this scope would be required. Also, under the MSCHP, impacts to resources maybe be achieved through one of the following mechanisms: 1) use of credits in an approved mitigation bank; 2) on-site mitigation or 3) off-site mitigation at an approved site.
It is assumed that credits at an approved mitigation bank will be utilized for this project.
Coordination and negotiation with mitigation banks, and identification and assessment of on- or off-site mitigation locations, are not included in this scope and would require an amendment. No additional MSHCP-related services are provided with the scope and cost included in this proposal (i.e. Joint Project Review).
o Focused Burrowing Owl Survey (Optional)
The project site lies near an MSHCP burrowing owl survey area. If the project limits include the burrowing owl survey area and if suitable habitat is present, a qualified biologist will conduct a focused survey in accordance with the Burrowing Owl Survey Instructions for the MSHCP. A burrow survey will be conducted during the burrowing owl breeding season (March 1 through August 31) in search of natural burrows or suitable man-made structures within the project site and a 500-foot buffer around the site (collectively referred to as the “study area”).1
If potential owl burrows (natural or man-made) are found, or if owls are observed during the burrow survey, then we will conduct four additional site visits on separate days, either in the morning, one hour before sunrise to two hours after sunrise, or in the early evening, two hours before sunset to one hour after sunset. The locations of all suitable burrowing owl habitat, potential owl burrows, burrowing owl sign, and any owls or sign observed will be recorded with a Global Positioning System device.
A focused burrowing owl survey is required for all sites with suitable burrowing owl habitat within 30 days prior to ground disturbing activities, whether initial survey results are positive or negative.2
If survey results are positive, additional follow-up surveys, avoidance, or relocation of owls in coordination with the CDFW, or monitoring may be required. In the event that it is determined that burrowing owls occupy the project site, prior to any on-site development, and are anticipated to be impacted, the City shall document proposed impacts and suitable compensatory mitigation, if required, to the RCA, CDFW and USFWS in 842
a DBESP.
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare and submit a letter report to the City in electronic format describing the survey methodologies and results of the focused burrowing owl survey. One round of consolidated review and comment is assumed for the focused burrowing owl survey report. A copy of the report will be sent to the Western Riverside County MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program by the City as required under the MSHCP.
The report will be included as an attachment to the NES-MI. Burrowing owl surveys can last anywhere from one to five months during the survey season but are recommended to be conducted evenly throughout the survey season if possible, to eliminate the probability that late and/or early season owls are not detected.
This task and budget does not include the additional pre-construction survey or relocation services.
o Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Area (NEPSSA) Survey (Optional) The project site lies near a NEPSSA study area for Marvin’s onion (Allium marvinii) and many-stemmed dudleya (Dudleya multicaulis). Should the project limits include NEPSSA survey area and if suitable habitat is present, a qualified biologist will conduct two focused surveys in May/June 2025 and June/July 2025 to determine if any of the NEPSSA plants are present.
The objective of the survey will be to determine presence or absence of the target species and, if present, to quantify and map the distribution of the species on the project site. All plant species detected on the site during the survey will be identified to the extent necessary to determine rarity and listing status. The survey will consist of two site visits spanning the peak flowering season of the target species. These surveys must be conducted during this timeframe to avoid agency scrutiny. Surveys conducted outside of this time period may be rejected by the resource agencies (CDFW, USFWS, and/or Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority [RCA]), and additional surveys during the appropriate time period may be required by the resource agencies.
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a letter report describing the survey methodologies and results of the focused NEPSSA surveys to be submitted to the City. One round of consolidated review and comment is assumed for the focused NEPSSA survey report. A copy of the report will be sent to the MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program by the City as required under the MSHCP. The report will be included as an attachment to the NES-MI.

• Air Quality
Develop a work plan explaining the assumptions and methodology for the Air Quality Report to Caltrans Staff for review and approval prior to beginning the development of the report. The work plan will outline the construction, traffic data, and modeling assumptions.
Deliverables: Air Quality Report Work Plan (pdf)
The Air Quality Report will be prepared in accordance with the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Chapter 11 (Air Quality) and the annotated outline. The Air Quality Report will address requirements under transportation conformity, NEPA, and CEQA criteria. The technical report will include the following discussions and analyses:
• Setting. The analysis will include discussions of the affected environment including meteorology/climate of the project area; existing air quality conditions; federal, state, and local air quality rules and regulations; and approved air quality plans. • Transportation Conformity. The project area is in nonattainment for ozone and PM2.5.
Transportation conformity requirements will be identified and evaluated for the project.
Transportation conformity will be at regional and project levels:
o Regional Conformity. Regional conformity of the project will be demonstrated by the project inclusion in the latest conforming regional transportation plan (RTP) and the federal transportation improvement program (FTIP). This includes coordination with City, County, and Caltrans regarding project inclusion in the latest transportation plans and programs.
o Project Level Conformity (CO Hot Spot Analysis). The carbon monoxide (CO) hot spot analysis will be based on the CO protocol developed by UC Davis. o Project Level Conformity (Particulate Matter Hot Spot Analysis). The project is exempt from project-level conformity under 40 CFR 93.126 (Railroad/Highway Crossing).
Therefore, the analysis will document this exemption and explain that the project is a grade separation that does not change the number of through lanes and does not change the channelization or signalization status of intersections. • Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and impacts from the project would be evaluated following the current Federal and State guidance. The effects of transportation control measures in reducing project emissions will be described. • Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSAT). MSAT analysis will be performed following the FHWA Interim Guidance Update on Mobile Source Air Toxic Analysis in NEPA Documents (January 2023).
• Short-Term Construction Air Quality Impacts. Air quality impacts due to short-term project construction activities will be evaluated. Project construction emissions will be quantified based on project construction information using agency approved emission calculation tools. The analysis will also identify appropriate control measures to minimize construction emissions.

• Noise Study
Noise Study Report Work Plan: develop a work plan explaining the assumptions and methodology for the Noise Study Report to Caltrans Staff for review and approval prior to beginning the development of the report. The work plan will outline the noise measurement locations and modeling assumptions, including receiver locations and hourly traffic volume assumptions.
Deliverables: Noise Study Report Work Plan (pdf)
Noise Study Report: A traffic noise study will be conducted in accordance with the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol developed by Caltrans to produce a Noise Study Report. The protocol requires identification of noise impacts at different types of activity areas affected by the project. The noise study will address both the State and Federal noise abatement criteria (NAC) to support the NEPA CE. The following tasks will be conducted to prepare the noise study:
• Identify Potential Sensitive Receptors. Based on aerial images and a field visit, potential sensitive receptors for noise impacts will be identified and mapped. • Measure Existing Noise Levels. Existing noise levels will be measured at representative receiver locations within the study area to quantify existing worst-hour noise levels and to provide data for model calibration purposes. The field work plan and methodology memo will be provided to the City and Caltrans approval prior to the collection of noise measurements. Within the noise study area, Kimley-Horn will perform concurrent directional traffic counts by vehicle classification and determine speeds of all major roads during on-site short-term noise monitoring and collect one short-term (15 minute) noise measurements at six locations. Traffic noise will be modeled using TNM 2.5, as currently required per Caltrans’ Standard Environmental Reference (SER) and FHWA guidance.
• Model Future Noise Levels. Modeling is required to calculate noise levels throughout the project corridor using FHWA’s Traffic Noise Model (TNM) would be used to calculate existing noise levels and predict future noise levels with and without the project. The model will be calibrated to the measured noise and traffic conditions and then used to predict existing and future noise levels. Traffic noise modeling will be conducted in accordance with the Caltrans recommended procedures. Traffic noise will be modeled using TNM 2.5, as currently required per Caltrans’ SER and FHWA guidance. It should be noted that TNM 3.0 may be required at the time of the noise analysis, and as such would be used by the project team. • Construction Noise. Construction noise will be predicted using methods outlined in the protocol that utilize the Roadway Construction Noise Model.
This task assumes that the Noise Study Report will not identify reasonable or feasible noise abatement and that a Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR) will not be necessary.

• Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Hazardous Materials) The Initial Site Assessment (ISA) scope of services described in this task addresses the due diligence procedures and methodology presented in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Method E 1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments and Chapter 18 of the California Department of Transportation (The Department) document titled Project Development Procedures Manual (1999). The Project Development Procedures Manual states that “every project that 845
includes excavation, structure demolition or modification, or the purchase of new right-of-way, will require an ISA to determine if known or potential hazardous waste is present within the project limits”.
The Caltrans Handbook refers to conducting hazardous materials assessments consistent with ASTM 1527-21. This scope limits the Subject Property to Hargrave Street between Lincoln Street and Ramsey Street including the adjacent frontage properties, all four I-10 Interchange ramps up to the freeway gore areas, along the UPRR right-of-way between San Gorgonio Avenue and approximately 4,500 linear feet east of Hargrave Street.
• The ISA provides the following:
o An identification of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) o An opinion of the impacts on the property resulting from conditions identified during the investigation, by a qualified Environmental Professional (EP) o An opinion, by a qualified EP, on the need for additional investigations o A statement consistent with ASTM E 1527-21, 12.13, on the qualifications of the EP and the suitability of the ISA to meet the requirements of The All Appropriate Inquiry Rule, CFR 40 312.
• The assessments will reflect the general national standard of practice and the local customary practice as understood by the EP. The EP will use ASTM 1527-21 along with our judgment and experience when reviewing results of the assessment and in identifying findings and RECs. • Findings relative to potential hazardous waste facilities within and adjacent to the project boundaries will be summarized in the final ISA report. The following tasks refer to only that information that is defined as reasonably ascertainable. o Records Review: This task will generally consist of an environmental database record search, aerial photograph review, and review of historical maps and sources. o Site Reconnaissance: Conduct a site reconnaissance at the subject property consistent with ASTM E 1527-21, Section 9. The site reconnaissance will be noninvasive. We will not collect or analyze any samples. We assume that we will be allowed appropriate access to areas of the site and that the site reconnaissance shall be conducted as a single event. Should an additional site reconnaissance be required due to access limitations, the additional site reconnaissance shall be considered additional services.
o Interviews: Consistent with ASTM E 1527-21, the Kimley-Horn team will make a reasonable attempt to conduct interviews with current and past property owners, neighboring property owners in the case of abandoned properties, or local agency representatives with knowledge of the project area.
• ISA Report Preparation: Prepare a summary report for the subject property. The report will be formatted consistent with Appendix X4 of ASTM E 1527-21. The report will include conclusions and recommendations based on the findings of the ISA. The Caltrans ISA Checklist will be completed and included with the final report.
• Since results of the ISA are unknown, hazardous materials testing is excluded from this scope of services, with the exception of ADL, which is included as optional. 846
• Community Impacts (Optional)
A Community Impact Assessment (CIA) will be prepared, consistent with the guidelines in the FHWA Technical Advisory T6640.8A, Caltrans CIA Handbook (October 2011), Caltrans CIA template (2024) and other applicable guidance from the FHWA and the Caltrans SER Web sites. The Kimley-Horn team reviewed the Caltrans SER and determined that a mid-level CIA would be appropriate for this project.
This was determined because of the likelihood of property acquisitions to accommodate for the widening of Hargrave Street. The CIA is anticipated to focus on land use impacts, consistency with applicable State, Regional, and Local Plans, community character and cohesion, relocations and real property acquisition, traffic and transportation/pedestrian and bicycle facilities, utilities, emergency services, and public involvement. The CIA will provide a description of existing, adopted, and proposed land uses on and in the immediate vicinity of the project site, including employment and activity centers. The CIA will also address the proposed project’s consistency with relevant local, regional, and State regulations and land use, transportation, and air quality plans. Housing, employment, and population conditions, as well as the locations of important community facilities in the vicinity of the project site will be described. Relevant demographic and land use information for the project study area will be mapped. The project may require parcel acquisitions and relocations. An analysis of the project’s potential right-of-way impacts and associated socioeconomic impacts will be discussed in the CIA. The CIA will also address federal environmental justice requirements and evaluate whether the project would increase/decrease transportation equity in the affected community of Banning. The project may include the closure and/or rerouting of several streets; therefore, a discussion of the project’s impacts on community access will also be provided in the CIA.
The CIA will also provide recommendations to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate potential adverse impacts of the proposed project where feasible and warranted.
One round of consolidated review and comment is assumed for the Community Impact Assessment.
Deliverables: Community Impact Assessment (CIA) [Draft and Final] • Paleontological Resources (Optional)
To address the potential for the project to impact sensitive paleontological resources per CEQA and NEPA, as well as other State and local regulations and requirements regarding paleontological resources, the Kimley-Horn team will prepare a combined Paleontological Identification Report/Paleontological Evaluation Report (PIR/PER) during PA&ED. The PIR/PER will follow the guidelines set forth by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Environmental Handbook, Volume 1, Chapter 8 – Paleontology, as well as guidelines established by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology and industry best practices. Completion of the PIR/PER will involve the following tasks:
Background Research. The Kimley-Horn team will conduct a fossil locality search through the records of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC). The fossil locality search is necessary to document the status and extent of previously recorded paleontological resources within the project area and within the same or similar deposits as those found in the project area. This information will help determine the types of paleontological resources that may be encountered during project development. The Kimley-Horn team will examine current geologic maps of the project area and review 847
relevant geological and paleontological literature to document which geologic units are present within the project area. The literature review will provide additional information regarding the types of paleontological resources that may occur in those deposits and their scientific significance, as well as the methods necessary to mitigate any impacts to those resources.
Paleontological Identification Report/Paleontological Evaluation Report. The Kimley-Horn team will document the results of the fossil locality search through the NHMLAC and the literature review in a PIR/PER. The PIR/PER will assess whether there are known or reasonably anticipated paleontological resources within the project footprint and based on the description of proposed work and excavation parameters, determine whether project excavation will impact those resources. If this research indicates that significant resources may be impacted by project development, the PIR/PER will make recommendations regarding mitigation efforts and the preparation of a Paleontological Mitigation Plan (PMP). One round of consolidated review and comment is assumed for the Paleontological Identification Report/Paleontological Evaluation Report.
Deliverables: PIR/PER [Draft and Final]
• Water Quality (Optional)
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a Water Quality Assessment Report (WQAR) for the project that follows the Caltrans December 2022 Water Quality Assessment Report Content and Recommended Format. The WQAR will discuss watershed and drainage characteristics, surface receiving waters, groundwater hydrology, regulatory requirements, pollutants of concern, receiving waters conditions, objectives, and beneficial uses, and floodplains. The report will discuss construction site, Design Pollution Prevention, and Treatment Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are applicable to the project per Caltrans’ Storm Water Quality Handbooks Project Planning and Design Guide. The WQAR will also discuss any Low Impact Development (LID) features that are included as part of the project to address water quality impacts. The project’s impacts on water quality will be evaluated and pertinent regulations and/or avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures, where appropriate and necessary to prevent adverse water quality impacts, will be identified.
Information to be obtained from the Storm Water Data Report (SWDR); and Hydrology Report and incorporated into the WQAR entails proposed construction and operational BMPs, disturbed soil area, new impervious surface area, additional impervious surface areas to be treated from the project, existing and proposed drainage patterns, existing and proposed rate and volume of stormwater runoff, and proposed construction and operational BMPs.

Deliverables: Water Quality Assessment Report [Draft and Final] • Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL) Investigation (Optional) The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a workplan and submit to Caltrans for review. 848
Soil Samples: Caltrans requires ADL boring interval to be 300 feet or less, and depending on the lateral distance of the excavation, more than one-line of borings is sometimes required. We assume only one line of borings is required for this project.
According to the Caltrans Guidance, samples for ADL testing should be obtained from depths extending to the bottom of proposed construction excavations. Since higher ADL concentrations are usually found near the ground surface and the ADL concentration usually diminishes with depth, we are proposing a two-phase program in an attempt to reduce costs. The boring and sampling depth for the first phase will be limited to 4 feet. If soils are determined to have high levels of lead, then a second phase field sampling would be required to collect samples from greater depths (to proposed excavation depths).
The scope given below is for the first phase of work only.
We will excavate no more than 8 shallow borings, within Caltrans right-of-way, to collect near-surface material samples for ADL testing. Samples will be collected from borings excavated using a 3-inch stainless steel hand-auger. Near-surface soil samples will be collected approximately at 0.5, 1.5, 3 and 4- foot depths from each boring.
We will forward the soil samples to a California Certified analytical laboratory for testing:
• All samples shall be tested for total lead using U.S. EPA Method 6010B, • Samples that contain greater than or equal to 80 mg/kg of total lead shall be analyzed for soluble lead using California Waste Extraction Test (citric acid extraction) for extractable lead, • Samples that contain greater than or equal to 5 mg/l of extractable lead using CA-WET (citric acid), shall be analyzed using DE-WET (de-ionized extraction) for de-ionized extractable lead, • Samples that contain greater than or equal to 1,000 mg/kg of total lead, or greater than or equal to 5 mg/l of extractable lead using CA-WET (citric acid) shall be analyzed using the EPA Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for leachable lead, and • Ten percent of soil samples collected shall be analyzed using U.S. EPA Method 9045C for pH.
Yellow Thermoplastic Traffic Stripping Samples: The yellow thermoplastic traffic striping will be sampled and tested for concentrations of lead and chromium. No more than 4 samples will be collected within Caltrans right-of-way.
The retrieved paint samples will be immediately placed in clean glass jars with teflon lids. Jars will be labeled with project information including the project name and number, sample number, location from which the sample was collected, and date and time of sampling. All samples will be entered on chain-ofcustody forms and transported to a certified laboratory for testing. • Samples shall be analyzed for total lead using U.S. EPA Method 6010B, • Samples shall be analyzed for Chromium using U.S. EPA Method 6010B, • Samples that contain greater than or equal to 80 mg/kg total lead shall be analyzed for soluble lead using California Waste Extraction Test (citric acid extraction) for extractable lead, • Samples that contain greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg total chromium shall be analyzed for soluble lead using CA-WET (citric acid extraction),
• Samples that contain greater than or equal to 100 mg/kg of total lead, or greater than or equal to 5 mg/l of extractable lead using CA-WET (citric acid) shall be analyzed using the EPA Toxic characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for leachable lead, and 849
• Samples that contain greater than or equal to 100 mg/kg of total chromium, or greater than or equal to 5 mg/l of extractable lead using CA-WET (citric acid) shall be analyzed using TCLP for leachable lead.
ADL Report: Following the ADL investigation, we will prepare a report for the project, summarizing the findings of the lead testing investigation. The report will include findings of the field sampling, results of laboratory tests and the statistical analysis, and recommendations for reuse of on-site soils excavated during construction.

Sanitary Sewer Plans: Existing City sanitary sewer facilities are located along Hargrave Street. The existing sewer main along Hargrave Street between Ramsey Street and Lincoln Street will require lowering to provide clearance for the new railroad bridge abutments. The existing sewer main goes from 8-inch VCP sewer main from Ramsey Street to John Street to 15-inch VCP sewer main from John 860
Street to Lincoln Street. There are also three sewer manholes that will need to be reconstructed. The Consultant shall consider the need for a sewer bypass to maintain uninterrupted service during the construction phase. The 15-inch VCP sewer main along John Street will need to be adjusted to tie into the sewer main on Hargrave Street. Private property sewer lateral detail plans will be provided for reestablishing sewer lateral connections for the existing commercial buildings and residential houses adjacent to Hargrave and John Street to the newly constructed sewer mains.
Water Plans: Existing City water line facilities are located along Hargrave Street. The existing 14- inch CMLWS water main along Hargrave Street between Ramsey Street and Lincoln Street will require lowering to provide clearance for the new railroad bridge abutments. Private property water service detail plans will be provided for re-establishing service connections for the existing commercial buildings and residential houses adjacent to Hargrave Street to the newly constructed water main.
