Introduction/Information
4 The Power of Commitment
Introduction/Information
The Downtown Area of the
City of Beaumont (City),
centered around 6th Street
and Beaumont Avenue, is
the heart of the community,
hosting seasonal events and
home to many unique, locally -
owned small businesses.
The Downtown Beaumont
Revitalization Plan (DBRP)
aims to enhance this area by
transforming streets into pedestrian -friendly spaces, improving safety, and supporting local businesses. Key projects include narrowing and reconfiguring 6th Street to balance regional traffic with pedestrian needs, and evolving Beaumont Avenue to serve as both a crucial link between neighborhoods and an event space. Grace Avenue is envisioned as a bespoke pedestrian space with historic features, while the Civic Center and adjacent lands are considered for capital improvements to reshape their role as a community hub. The Plan also includes consistent branding elements such as gateway landscapes and identifying signage to create a cohesive Downtown identity.
GHD's team is experienced in similar projects across California, will deliver constructable designs, and support community outreach through workshops and engagement with local
stakeholders. This collaborative approach aims to ensure the final roadway configurations align with long-term growth and local needs, fostering a sense of local decision ownership and regional interagency buy -in.

12 Complete streets design can lead to better
safety, functionality and accessibility, as well
as opportunities to preserve open space and
implement `Green Streets' elements such as
capturing, cleaning, and retaining stormwater
within the upgraded corridor.
We've been refining our approach to
complete streets through innovative and
creative solutions that integrate all modes of
travel into the roadway prism. Our team
verifies that roadway sections reflect
appropriate widths for complete street
elements to minimize or eliminate R/W
impacts and optimize the corridor's
functionality for all modes of transportation.
We provide design services for the following
Complete Streets elements:
Road Repurposing: repurposing the
existing roadway by reducing the number
of vehicle travel lanes is a common means
to create room within the existing corridor
to accommodate Active Transportation
provisions and balance the needs of all
corridor users.
Traffic Calming: various measures of
traffic calming such as reduced roadway
sections, roundabouts, curb extensions,
median islands and pedestrian refuges.
Bicycle Facilities: bicycle trails, buffered
bicycle lanes, separated/protected
bicycle lanes, bicycle signals and signal
priority, green colored pavement markings
and conflict locations, bicycle boxes at
signalized intersections, bicycle parking
and stalls, bicycle detection loops, rumble
strips, bicycle friendly grates and rails,
and bicycle friendly light rail or train
track crossings
Pedestrian Facilities: sidewalks, ADA
related elements, crosswalks, high visibility
crosswalks, crossing islands, pedestrian
activated traffic control devices, curb
bulb outs, lighting ,shade structures and
street furniture.
- Shared -Use Facilities: Shared -use paths,
roundabouts, intersection treatments for
bicycles and pedestrians, grade separated
(overpass or underpass) crossings and
improved signage and pavement markings.
Transit Facilities: Transit stop
improvements, park and ride facilities,
transit boarding islands, bus build -outs,
new transit stops, transit signal priority,
transit -only lanes, light rail transit, and
real-time traveler information.
- Landscaping Green Infrastructure,
and Stormwater Management: includes
landscaping of buffer areas or open
spaces, shade landscaping, bio filtration
swales, infiltration trenches, rain gardens
and drought tolerant plants.
- Grant Applications: writing successful
grant applications for various local
agencies to obtain funding for
active transportation and complete
streets projects.
As part of our designs, we are able to provide
all associated support services such as
survey, traffic engineering, R/W, utility
relocation, public outreach, geotechnical,
environmental, traffic control and landscape
design. Our capabilities span the planning
and preliminary design stage through to
final engineering/contract documents and
construction support services. Additional
relevant services include:
- Community
outreach/stakeholder engagement
- Connectivity analysis
- Green infrastructure
- Placemaking services
- Implementation strategies
Active Transportation Planning
GHD's team helps create active, connected
communities where bicycling and walking
are part of a healthy lifestyle and sustainable
transportation system. We have considerable
experience assisting local agencies with
planning and creating bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure and providing safe, efficient,
and accessible connectivity for local
communities and regional networks. In
addition, our transportation professionals
bring experience from planning and funding
through design and construction, giving us
the ability to craft actionable, feasible plans
that the City can implement.
Pedestrian and Bike Network
Design
From the perspective of someone biking,
jurisdictional boundaries are often irrelevant
and seamless. Continuous routes are
essential. Similarly, the active transportation
network is not independent, and must be
designed in the context of a multimodal
transportation system and an evolving built
environment. The Project will recommend
bicycle facility connections to urban areas
that create a continuous riding experience.
Preliminary Engineering (PE) and
PDR Services
GHD has robust experience delivering
streetscape projects from concept
to construction. Having a team that
knows what it takes to set a project
up for successful grant funding and
implementation is key to a successful
project. A recent example of this is Lindsey
Van Parys and Todd Tregenza's success
with the City of Pasadena. Todd led the
planning effort of the I-710 Transitional
Project for the city. Lindsey, along with
Todd helped with concept development
and analysis. This document was then used
to secure funding through LA Metro, which
the city is now implementing pieces of that
plan. So far four of the identified projects
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
13 have funding and will move to the next
phase of work.
Future Communities
While the concept of "community" is simple
and universally understood, communities
are inherently dynamic systems, and we are
mindful of local challenges impacting the
physical and economic realms they occupy.
Because no two communities are the same,
our mission is to address the qualities that
make communities unique and enhance
them to support our clients' strategic vision
and community members' values. GHD's
collective term for this integrated
Initiative is called "Future Communities." It is
part of a strategic trio of enterprise -wide
organizational principles. By connecting
our capabilities in urbanization and asset
management across G HD —architects, urban
designers, scientists, engineers, planners
and economists working across our global
network —our multidisciplinary teams are
able to address the most unique and pressing
challenges of communities globally. From
dense cities to rural towns, our experts work
together across typologies, geographies, and
markets to help our most valuable clients lay
the foundation for future success.
Loveable Places
GHD Loveable Places helps to plan and
design places that people want to live in,
visit, spend time in, and travel to —places
people love. This goes beyond new bike
lanes, storefronts, or landscaping - this
approach seeks to understand how people
experience getting between places they
love, how safe they feel, their social
interactions, and developing a plan that
aligns with a community's "place identity" and
"people's experience."
"Place identity" celebrates the uniqueness
of each place. Just like culture shapes
an individual, a unique heritage, and
history shapes a place. Place identity is an
association, the image that springs to mind
when thinking of somewhere. Whether that's
a desire to maintain a small town charm,
celebrate diversity, or highlight recreational
opportunities.
"People's experience" celebrates the lived
reality of a place. We are all different,
experiencing our towns in dynamic and
contrasting ways depending on the time
of day, the season, or our reason for being
there. Our experience also changes with
time. What we experience in a place as a
year-round resident is different than how we
experience it as a visiting tourist.
Loveable Places applies various indicators
and dimensions that measure "loveability."
These are applied in a multi -criteria analysis
to help select and prioritize projects.
These are also used to generate positive
community energy from the start of a
project. We start with a community
engagement strategy that asks the following
questions:
- What do you love?
- What do you wish for?
- What do you wonder?
This approach stands in stark contrast to
traditional outreach efforts that often begin
by asking people where their "pain points"
are - where they have concerns about
safety, or traffic, or connectivity. By starting
our conversation with the community in a
positive manner, we initiate a constructive
self -reflection on what people love about the
City already, what they'd like to see more of,
and then reflect on the future vision.
Community Outreach
We believe community engagement is the
core and the foundation of successful
planning efforts. Plans that fail to seek out,
understand, and respond to the needs of
the community end up gathering dust on a
shelf or encountering passionate opposition
during implementation. Plans that place
community engagement at the center of the
project, however, can foster collaborative
partnerships and catalyze transformations
that bring residents' vision to life. Our team
has significant experience facilitating
successful community engagement
programs that include multilingual
engagement, prioritize reaching members of
disadvantaged communities, and is familiar
with many of the community groups in
Beaumont through our work on past and
ongoing projects in the city.
GHD community engagement for the DBRP.
For this Project, we understand the City's
priority is to engage the community in a
meaningful dialogue throughout the planning
process, establishing community buy -in for
proposed improvements, and document an
inclusive and broad process for future grant
applications. GHD will lead the engagement
strategy. We pride ourselves on our ability
to couple community and stakeholder input
with our urban design, active transportation,
and engineering experience to develop
concepts that communities embrace, are
visionary, and are technically feasible. This
approach is a powerful and cost-effective
way to engage with residents, business and
property owners, and other stakeholders.
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
14 Our team knows from our prior work that
Beaumont is home to many local groups that
are passionate about their neighborhood
or interest, are deeply invested in their
community, and are fiercely committed
advocates. Engaging these groups early in
the project will be essential to learn about
their priorities, respond to concerns, and
allow residents to feel their needs are heard
and reflected in the final plan. Where groups
have competing needs or interests, early
engagement will allow for informed
discussions so that residents are empowered
to participate in decision -making, influence
the balancing of multiple priorities, and feel
ownership over the resulting PDR.
We are confident and experienced in
facilitating both in -person and on-line
community engagement, including
workshops, focus group or advisory
meetings, and interactive virtual platforms.
We use a variety of web -based tools on our
projects, customized to local needs and
preferences, and understand that not all
tools work in all communities. Working with
our clients, we adapt our methods to meet
local needs and preferences as well as
achieve deep and robust engagement.
Communicating the availability of different
feedback methods is critical, and listening
to the community on how they would like
to be engaged is also vital to the project's
success. In each project, virtual engagement
methods are a supplement to, and not a
replacement for, direct engagement such
as pop-up tables at existing community
events, presentations at existing community
meetings, and workshops or focus groups.
Our Urban Design Lead has led dozens of
design workshops in communities across
California and is committed to crafting a
schedule that allows for transparency and
a charrette environment that encourages
meaningful engagement that can directly
influence design outcomes.
Responding to Agency
Requirements
Our team understands that local agencies
are under increasing requirements at the
local, regional, and state levels. Cities like
Beaumont are seeking to develop complete
streets networks to meet the needs of
residents, as well as develop active
transportation infrastructure to meet local
needs and fulfill regional funding
requirements. In addition, greenhouse
gas and vehicle miles traveled reduction
targets are an important focus of
transportation planning efforts, requiring
a deep understanding of the day-to-day
transportation needs of residents to develop
solutions which will shift trips from driving to
walking, bicycling, and transit. Our diverse
experience in planning, engineering, and
analysis will support development of
recommendations that are strategically
targeted to advance agency objectives and
meet applicable standards, as well as aligning
with competitive grant funding guidelines to
position the City to pursue implementation.
Grant Funding
Stable funding systems are needed to
achieve the City's goals and promote
prosperity in the community. GHD has a long
history of successfully obtaining grant funds
for both municipal and private projects,
including the Caltrans ATP, which would
offset the financial impact to rate payers.
We are experienced in identifying funding
and matching it with project needs. We have
the in-house capacity to create competitive
grant packages and the skills necessary to
design, engineer, and develop your project.
Our team routinely monitors the grant cycles
of numerous state, federal, and private
grants.
Visual Modeling Software of Final
Corridor Concepts
GHD can produce high -quality, realistic
renderings and data visualizations and
for translating transportation -speak into
conversational language, all of which makes
for graphics and plans that members of
the public can easily understand. Our team
is skilled in preparing photo renderings to
depict before and after design treatments,
developing artist renderings and design
visualizations, and bringing fully realized 3D
scenes to life as animated videos and
interactive experiences.

Managing a Multidisciplinary Team
Our in-house team includes planners,
engineers, urban planners, and landscape
architects working side -by -side to provide
local and regional networks. Traffic engineers
are skilled in impact analysis, VMT analysis,
and signal design. Because we provide all
services in-house, we develop ATPs that
balance bicycle and pedestrian needs with
other factors, including transit access,
commercial activity, and vehicle circulation.
The end result is a project that advances
active transportation with broad community
support and one that is constructible.
Our experience spans the entire project
development process, from planning
documents such as bicycle master plans,
through PS&E and the construction phase.

Scope of Services
Scope of Services Overview
To meet the requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP), we have abbreviated our scope of services in this section. Howev- er, our full scope of services with deliverables and assumptions included is provided in an attachment section at the back of the proposal. Considerable time has been taken to meticulously craft this scope, ensuring that our team has prepared a "right - sized" scope aimed at delivering a final product that will set the City up for successful grant applications. Our goal is to clearly convey the need and the proposed solution to stakeholders, decision -makers, and the community.
+Scope of Services Tasks
Task 1: Project Management
GHD will be responsible for the general project management, project coordination, monitoring project progress for adherence to schedule and budget, reporting project progress and
administering the project, including interfacing with the City of Beaumont and the various project stakeholders. More
specifically, GHD will:
Subtask 1.1: Quality Management
GHD will prepare a Quality Management Plan (QMP) that
will generally follow the current Caltrans QMP guidance and template. GHD will conduct Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) for the project and conduct QA/QC reviews of all documents, including documents prepared by our teaming partners throughout the project. It is assumed one draft QMP will be prepared, comments will be addressed, and the report will be finalized by GHD and the City of Beaumont.
Perfect Balance of City Familiarity and
a Comprehensive Understanding of the
PnR Process
The differentiating strength of our team is the perfect balance of intimate familiarity with the City and a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of the PDR process. Our team has established a proven record of working cooperatively with City staff, community stakeholders, and City residents to develop and sustain the DBRP. Furthermore, our team has replicated this scope and approach to successfully complete streets, roundabouts, ATP, multimodal corridors, feasibility studies, and the full range of other transportation planning and engineering for numerous local and regional agencies throughout California.
E. Scope of Services 120
Subtask 1.2: Project Management
and Administration
This task will include the supervision and
scheduling of project staff, review of work
prepared by GHD staff and subconsultants,
project coordination, client liaison, and
schedule and budget monitoring.
1.2.1: Project Management and
Administration
Upon Notice to Proceed (NTP), GHD will
prepare a Project Management Plan (PMP)
that will include a detailed scope, schedule,
and budget in accordance with the final
signed contract. The PMP will detail
communication and data sharing processes
as well as the data collection, engagement,
and analysis tasks. The PMP will also
specify mapping outputs and templates for
project deliverables. The PMP schedule
will note major milestones, deliverables and
meetings, and estimate engagement events.
While this is an added step in the
project management process, our prior
project experience shows that having
this document enhances the effective
management of the project from both our
and our clients' perspectives.
To be more efficient with the City's partner
agencies' resources, GHD recommends
identifying a Project Development
Team (PDT) that will include the City's
project manager, representatives from
other City departments, and other
stakeholders identified by the City and
GHD. The PDT will be incorporated into
the project administration as needed. PDT
development and engagement is described
in Task 1.3.1 below.
GHD will manage the preparation of
invoices and progress reports monthly. The
monthly progress reports will summarize
budget, schedule status, and identify any
project issues requiring attention by the
City. Other project management activities
include coordinating meetings, scheduling
and managing staff, and overseeing the
quality assurance effort.
GHD will monitor work progress and budget
expended against the level of completion
from the original task assignment.
1.2.2: Meetings and Coordination
GHD's Project Manager, relevant lead, and
select team members will organize and
attend the following meetings (held virtually
unless otherwise noted):
- Project kick-off meeting held in -person
at the City with GHD leadership, including
Lindsey Van Parys, Steven Latino, Erin
McPherson and Todd Tregenza
- PDT meetings with the City, and other
agency/stakeholder representatives,
which will be scheduled to be conducted
once per month (our scope assumes
17 meetings)
- Bi-weekly 30 -minute check -in meetings
with City staff (our scope assumes 34
bi-weekly check -ins)
GHD will coordinate, schedule, and
facilitate meetings, which includes
preparing PDT meeting notes and project
schedule updates. GHD staff will provide
meeting agendas with a minimum of two
(2) working days prior to meetings. Draft
meeting minutes will be submitted within
three (3) working days following each
meeting. Within three (3) working days of
receiving City and stakeholder's comments,
these comments will be incorporated and
final minutes published for distribution and
record.
Subtask 1.3: Community and
Stakeholder Engagement
Subtask 1.3.1: Stakeholder Engagement
Plan and Stakeholder Database
Our team will develop a comprehensive
Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP)
to support the project and generate
meaningful input from key stakeholders
within the project area. The SEP will
describe the engagement goals, propose
engagement tactics, timeline, and
stakeholder audience. The SEP will act as
a flexible blueprint, ensuring proactive and
strategic stakeholder engagement. It will be
responsive to the project's needs, allowing
for adjustments in approach if certain
stakeholders and community segments
are not being adequately reached. At a
minimum, the engagement plan will identify:
- Engagement goals
- Overall engagement timeline
- List of stakeholder audience and their
level of involvement
- Project messaging and
communication strategy
- Proposed list of engagement tactics
and activities
Our team will also maintain a stakeholder
database, building from our previous
experience with the DBRP. The database
will comprise of the City as well as key
stakeholder groups within the project area
including civic groups, local community -
based organizations (CBOs), regional
institutions, public agencies, residents,
businesses, and mobility advocacy groups.
The database will also include relevant
departments for all regional partner
agencies. GHD will facilitate an "opt -
in" campaign to gather and update the
database throughout the project.

Communications
Our team will develop a project style
guide that includes a logo, color palette,
fonts, and other key document design
elements that can be applied to outreach
materials, fact sheets, website content,
digital/social content, and project reports
and presentations. GHD will also develop
a template for project related PowerPoint
presentations.
Our team will develop the following
outreach notification and communication
material. GHD will be responsible for the
design of collateral. For printed materials,
GHD will provide digital files to the City for
plotting, printing and/or physical mailing.
- E-blasts/Meeting Invitations: Our
team will use e -blasts to engage
stakeholders listed in the project database
leading up to public workshops and
stakeholder meetings.
- Fact Sheet and Workshop Flyers: Our
team will design a project fact sheet and
two flyers to provide an overview of the
project and promote attendance at public
workshops.
All materials will ensure accessibility,
including translation to Spanish.
1.3.3: Engagement Activities
As mentioned above, our team will create
an engagement strategy that aligns with
the project's engagement goals, such
as garnering project support, soliciting
feedback from key stakeholders, and
understanding operational needs and
concerns. The engagement strategy
will also include proposed engagement
activities to achieve the engagement goals,
subject to City approval, GHD will facilitate
up to two (2) focused workshop/interview
with key stakeholders (i.e. businesses,
property owners, community -based -
organizations), up to two (2) pop-up events
at high -traffic local events/locations, and
up to two (2) board/public presentations
(i.e. City Council, Planning Commission,
or advisory meetings). All activities are
assumed to occur virtually.
GHD will work with the City to plan all
logistics including venue coordination and
set up and will coordinate with the project
team to support the development of
workshop materials and summaries.
Task 2: Data Gathering and
Analysis
Under this task, data and information will be
collected and planning level base mapping
will be prepared. GHD understands that
the City is expecting the work plan to
incorporate the collection of any required
data not already available.
Subtask Task 2.1: Existing Data
Collection
GHD will collect readily available project
and location data. The types of information
collected will include:
- Photos, observations, and features based
on a field review
- GIS data
- Existing planning and
environmental studies
- Regional plans
- City general plan
- Previous traffic forecasts
- Previous conceptual design drawings
- Existing mapping
- As -built plans
- Utility maps
- Record improvement drawings
and reports
- Floodplain mapping
- SWITRS collision data
- City collision data (Crossroads database)
- Right-of-way (R/W) mapping and
monument records maps
Subtask 2.2: Field Investigations
In addition to collecting all the above -
mentioned data, our team will conduct a
site visit to investigate existing conditions.
During this visit, the team will bring a smart
level and check existing ADA improvements
to identify any deficiencies that may need
to be addressed .
Subtask 2.3: Environmental Review
- Review and analyze all relevant planning
and design documents provided by the
City, including previous studies, planning
efforts, and community vision plans.
Conduct a detailed review of existing
land uses and environmental constraints,
including an overview of the project
under CEQA, to identify items that may
impact future development. Evaluate the
following key reference documents:
• DBRP - Elevate 2025
2040 General Plan Program
Environmental Impact Report (PEIR)

Ordinance
Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or areas
requiring additional analysis to inform
PDR development.
Evaluate potential permitting challenges,
policy conflicts, and mitigation needs from
an environmental planning perspective.
Task 3: Investigations
Subtask 3.1: Survey and Centerline
Control
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
22 3.1.1: Aerial Photogrammetry & Base
Mapping
GHD's survey team, KDM, will perform
aerial photogrammetry using either manned
aircraft or UAVs to capture detailed images
of downtown Beaumont streets and
corridors. The mapping will be conducted
at a scale of one (1) inch = 40 feet, with a
contour interval of one (1) foot, covering
the entire public R/W plus an additional
10 feet beyond it. All streets and alleys
within the designated project area will
be included, with an option to exclude
alleys if necessary. The orthorectified
color aerial imagery will be processed and
delivered at a 0.2 -foot pixel resolution,
making it suitable for use in renderings
and stakeholder presentations. This
comprehensive approach ensures high -
quality, detailed imagery and mapping data
for the project.
3.1.2: Survey Control & R/W
Survey control and R/W include three
key tasks: establishing ground control for
photogrammetric processing, surveying
existing centerline monumentation, and
delineating and depicting center lines
and R/W lines. Initially, ground control
points will be set up to ensure accurate
photogrammetric processing, aligning and
scaling aerial imagery to the correct
geographical coordinates. Following this,
sufficient existing centerline
monumentation will be surveyed to
reestablish the record centerline alignment
of mapped streets, ensuring alignment with
historical records. Finally, center lines and
R/W lines will be delineated and depicted
from record documents on the base
mapping, without the need for obtaining
title reports. This comprehensive approach
ensures precise and reliable mapping and
surveying results, essential for planning,
development, and legal purposes.
Subtask 3.2: R/W Analysis
GHD will perform a comprehensive R/W
Analysis based on the information
collected from the Topographic Survey
and Centerline Control. This analysis aims
to identify the existing R/W and proposed
R/W boundaries within the project area.
Subtask 3.3: Utility Research
(T2UE)
T2UE will utilize the Cl/ASCE 38-22
standards for collecting and depicting
subsurface utilities. This approach will help
build a comprehensive utility model of the
project site. Generally, the investigation will
provide Quality Level D and C with some
Level B to be collected in key locations.
This scope includes R/W to R/W along
Beaumont Avenue and East 6th Street,
approximately 10,000 If.
T2UE will generate record requests
to the various utility companies using
Underground Servicer Alert Design Ticket
Request Systems, track correspondence
and create records, file electronic drawings,
create a utility base map, and depict
overhead facilities.
Subtask 3.4: Geotechnical
Investigation
Geocon will undertake a comprehensive
geotechnical investigation as part of the
Downtown Beaumont Revitalization project.
This investigation will include reviewing
available geologic and as -built information,
performing site reconnaissance, and
coordinating with City representatives
and GHD for encroachment permits and
boring locations. Geocon will hire a drilling
subcontractor to drill up to sixteen (16)
geotechnical borings at various locations
within the project area, ranging from
5 to 20 feet deep. Soil samples will be
collected for laboratory testing to evaluate
pertinent physical and chemical properties.
The findings will be compiled into a
preliminary geotechnical report, which will
include boring logs, geologic conditions,
laboratory test results, and preliminary
recommendations for project planning and
design.
Subtask 3.5: Hydrological/Drainage
Assessment
As part of the PDR, GHD will prepare
a preliminary drainage design and
floodplain assessment of the proposed
improvements. The results of this analysis
will be summarized in the PDR narrative.
Detailed calculations will not be performed
until a preferred alternative is selected and
the design is advanced to the 65% level.
The analysis in this task will include the
following:
- Site visit to review the existing drainage
system.
- Review of existing facility information such
as drainage facility maps, as-builts, etc.
- FEMA floodplain determination and
analysis of impact to the project, if any.
- Determination of applicable drainage and
water quality design standards including
peak storm event requirements, likely to
include both the 10- and 100 -year events.
- Determination of location of receiving
system for the project drainage.
- Initial assessment of the tributary areas
for both onsite and offsite runoff.
Identification, to the extent possible, of
any known problems.
- Discussion with City staff regarding
existing drainage system issues.
- Development of the proposed design
methodology for final design.

City of Beaumont
23 Subtask 3.6: Traffic Studies and
Assessments
3.6.1; Gather Existing Conditions Data
GHD, in partnership with the City's team,
will work together to assemble Geographic
Information System (GIS) and multimodal
transportation data. This includes compiling
and reviewing existing transportation, land
use, and mapping data for the project area.
GHD will also gather available traffic volume
data provided by the City, Caltrans, and
relevant traffic information that is available
on SWITRS and TIMS. The information
collected under this task will be used to
prepare GIS figures that clearly present the
data.
GHD will use a combination of field data
collection and past document review
to better understand issues related to
active transportation along the corridor.
Maps showing existing and proposed
classification maps for the study corridor
will be assembled. GHD also maintains
access to the Replica platform, which
provides derived mobility information
such as travel origins and destinations, trip
purposes, and trip modes from anonymized
mobile sources. This information will
be available to enhance field -collected
information and outputs from the available
travel demand models with "big picture"
real -world travel information. GHD will
prepare an existing conditions memo which
will include a description of the corridor,
multimodal facilities, collision history and
identify any deficiencies.
3.6.2: Design Year Conditions
For this study, GHD will obtain the most
current version of the relevant Travel
Demand Model (TMD). GHD will review the
current and future land use assumptions,
both within the project area. Additionally,
GHD will verify the highway network
coding within the project study area for
the existing and future year networks to
ensure that they are consistent with future
year circulation and land development
assumptions.
Opening Year forecasts will also be
developed using straight line interpolation
between Existing and Design Year volumes.
3.6.3: Transportation Operations
Traffic operations will be performed for all
modes of travel for the Existing, Opening
Year and "No -Build" conditions. Although
Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition
provides multimodal level -of -service
(MMLOS) methodologies, the analysis steps
are relatively data -intensive and may yield
counterintuitive results. GHD proposes the
Plan instead focus on assessing level of
traffic stress (LTS). LTS, as developed by
the Mineta Transportation Institute and San
Jose State University, quantifies the level of
discomfort experience by bicyclists based
on the speed and volume of traffic, their
separation from vehicles, and frequency
of conflict points on roadways and through
intersections. GHD will document bicycle
and pedestrian LTS along the corridor, and
through each study intersection, before
and after improvement. The resulting LTS
maps and analysis can be used to evaluate
proposed concepts for their ability to
improve safe non -motorized access
between community points of interest like
schools, shops, services, parks, transit, and
other important destinations.
Subtask 3.7: Street and Pedestrian
Lighting Analysis
MNS will complete the Street and
Pedestrian lighting analysis which will
focus on approximately four blocks along
6th Street, between California and Palm
Avenue. It will also cover approximately
six (6) blocks along Beaumont Avenue,
between 5th and 11th Streets. This area
will include pedestrian -scale lighting, such
as bollards and decorative lighting fixtures,
designed to enhance safety, aesthetics
and create an inviting atmosphere. Specific
emphasis will be placed on ensuring that
lighting solutions meet the aesthetic and
functional needs of the downtown area.
A photometric analysis of the existing
condition and proposed conditions will be
developed to highlight deficiencies and
improvements.
Lighting Standards: The lighting design
will be based on the RP -8-22 standard,
which provides guidelines for roadway
and walkway lighting. This will ensure that
the proposed lighting meets the required
levels of illumination, uniformity, and energy
efficiency appropriate for pedestrian
pathways, public spaces, and downtown
corridors. The study will evaluate fixture
types, placement, and spacing in line with
this standard to achieve optimal safety and
visual appeal.
Subtask 3.8: Tree Impact Analysis
GHD's certified arborist will perform a
tree impact analysis for the projects and
streetscape corridors identified in The
DBRP and as listed below. Where proposed
improvements overlap existing trees or
where new trees are proposed, resulting
impacts and potential associated costs
will be analyzed. Cost impacts of new
shade trees will also include a summary
table of urban tree planting strategies to
mitigate tree root and hardscape conflicts
and maximize health of the future urban
canopy.
City of Beaumont
24 GHD will define and determine the impacts
of adding and removing trees in the
following proposed improvement areas:
- Proposal revitalization hubs
- Proposed private developments
• 6th Street and California Avenue
• 6th Street and Magnolia Avenue

- Walkable Housing Projects
- Downtown Mobility Projects
• 6th Street reconfigurations
Gateway roundabouts
Beaumont Avenue reconfigurations
downtown alleys
- Proposed parking reconfigurations
(general impacts and recommendations
for new tree planting)
- Stewart Park
The Tree Impact Analysis will include up
to two (2) site visits by an ISA Certified
Arborist who will perform a walk -by limited
visual assessment of accessible existing
trees in the proposed improvement areas.
The visual assessment will focus on the
following attributes:
- Overall tree health
- Tree structure
- Obvious defects or impacts to existing
hardscape.
Task 4: Design Options
Subtask 4.1: Design Options
for Roadway Improvements
(Conceptual Design)
With the information and results from
the Data Gathering and Analysis (Task 2)
and the Investigations (Task 3) GHD to
review and evaluate three alternatives. The
approximate length of new roadway along
6th street is 6,000 If from Veile Avenue to
Pennsylvania Avenue and 3,300 linear feet
along Beaumont Avenue from E. 5th Street
to 11th Street. GHD will prepare three
(3) memorandums to share with project
stakeholders. The evaluation may consider
important design features including
adjacent R/W, sensitive environmental
resources, planned and proposed purpose,
need, synergies and overlap, connections
to key locations, access, and other
considerations in coordination with the
City.
GHD will prepare concept level plans
(equivalent to 10 percent) using Autodesk
Civil 3D 2025 and utilizing GHD CAD
standards. This will be achieved by
development of two (2) strip maps per
alternative to showcase planned corridor
improvements, one (1) along 6th Street
and one (1) along Beaumont Avenue for
each alternative. These strip maps will show
hardscape improvements, one to two (1-2)
typical roadway sections, striping, parking,
and GIS level utilities. These documents
will be used as attachments in the PDR
to highlight reasoning for the preferred
alternative.

Subtask 4.2: Lighting Design
Options
Using the information compiled in Task
3.7, MNS will develop a minimum of three
(3) distinct lighting design options for the
downtown area that align with the goals
outlined in the DBRP. Each option will
be fully informed by the lighting analysis
and will include both engineering and
aesthetic considerations, such as fixture
type, placement, intensity, and visual
character. To support the City's review and
decision -making process, each option will
be presented using large-scale, full -color
renderings that depict lighting impacts
and design intent within key areas of
downtown. In addition, we will provide up
to five physical architectural color boards
per option to showcase material finishes,
fixture types, and thematic concepts.
A preliminary cost estimate will also be
included for each alternative to help
evaluate feasibility within future budget
planning. Final design concepts will be
submitted to the City for feedback prior to
down -selection.
Subtask 4.3: Design Options
for Streetscape Amenities and
Enhancements (Conceptual
Design)
Following the same design parameters
and extents/limitations as identified
under Task 4.1, GHD's landscape
architecture and streetscape design team
will develop concept level (10% design)
rendered streetscape improvement plans,
cross -sections, schedules, and design
descriptions to illustrate sidewalks (colors
and materials); landscaping themes and
plant types; lighting themes, materials,
and types; options for striping, crosswalks,
pedestrian paths, bike lanes, and parking
options (as developed by civil team under
task 4.1); and other site furnishings and
streetscape amenities that will help create
the full picture for each design option.
GHD will develop three (3) design
alternative options that will be applied to
the 6th Street corridor and the Beaumont
Avenue corridor (as defined in task 4.1). The
three (3) design alternative options will be
used to create a complete rendered plan

GHD will provide the City with a draft
version of the rendered plan package for
review and comment. After receiving all
comments from the City, GHD will update
the submittal to reflect the comments
and submit as the final design packages.
These rendered packages will be used
as attachments in the PDR to highlight
reasoning for the preferred alternative.
Task 5: PDR
Subtask 5.1: PDR
GHD will prepare a PDR for the DBRP, that
is a comprehensive document that outlines
the Project's background, design features,
limitations, and key deliverables. The

PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
28 I...I
O
Approach
5 The Power of Commitment
Approach
-* Project Understanding
The Downtown Area of Beaumont has always been the heart of the community. While outlying suburban residential tracts, nearby retail centers, and expansive logistics districts grab attention and enhance the regional profile of the City, the soul and history of Beaumont remains wedded to Downtown at 6th Street and Beaumont Avenue. There, seasonal events such as the Cherry Valley Festival, 4th of July and Holiday Parades, and weekly Nights at Towncenter are social highlights in the community. Downtown's corridors are also home to the City's many independent, unique, locally -owned small businesses.
Here, the DBRP defines distinct and actionable physical projects to secure and grow this success story by "tailoring the suit to fit the role," through safer complete streets, welcoming gateways and a public realm that orients and protects visiting pedestrians, accommodates ever larger events, and catalyzes the next wave of small business that expand within or arrive as newcomers to the City's "Town Center."
The revitalization roadway proposals are as much about
reclaiming Downtown streets as places for people, rather than as the regional conduits they are today. It is a bold investment in safety, community wellbeing, attracting visitors, and securing investor interest. Today, 6th Street frequently serves as a bypass for Interstate 10 (I 10), with vehicles stacking in from neighboring cities. Narrowing and reconfiguring this "main street" corridor will require careful consideration of use flexibility, regional traffic impact, emergency service access, and balance those factors with crucial pedestrian safety and small business needs.
Likewise, Beaumont Avenue's role is already evolving. Where it provides crucial linkage to neighborhoods north and south, a new section design will balance its role as event space, - Restoration and Regeneration of Our
Local Communities is Not a Foreign
Concept to GHD's Team!
We hope you take a few minutes to watch the video linked below (or by scanning the QR Code) to see how we transformed the vehicle -centric La Quinta Village/Old Town from a road into a destination where people can walk, bike, and enjoy all the Village has to offer.

frontage for new commercial at 8th, and
for frontage improvements between
8th and 6th. Grace Avenue, in particular
is a special opportunity for a bespoke
pedestrian space that can be a regional
draw, laden with historic narrative, paving
features, pedestrian lighting, and outdoor
dining. The Civic Center and adjacent city -
owned lands are under consideration for
future capital improvements that reshape
their role as a community center flanked
by supportive retail and district -wide
parking. These key projects need to be
framed by consistent, Downtown or Town
Center brand -specific gateway landscapes,
archways, and identifying signage. The
outlay of these wayfinding "bread -crumbs"
amid a consistent street tree canopy,
and in conjunction with the Stewart Park
renovation, are part of an image overhaul
that will elevate Downtown Beaumont to
match the vision of its business owners and
economic development team.
Our team frequently prepares these
projects for small communities across
California and is ready to deliver bid -ready
designs for Beaumont. We also understand
this PDR effort entails a degree of strategic
decision -making and design finalization, to
ensure the final roadway configuration and
use cases comport with long-term growth
factors and local stakeholders needs. Our
team will continue it's intensive community
outreach support through ongoing City -
led downtown business engagement and
our highly illustrative outreach workshops
that explain and confirm the direction
we're taking. GHD recognizes that the
collaborative relationship between
Beaumont's Economic Development team,
the Downtown business stakeholders, and
locals who lean -in brings intrinsic value
to the workshops we held in creating the
Revitalization Plan. Our goal is to ensure
this engineering design phase is no less co -
creative with regional interagency buy -in
and a sense of local decision ownership.
1 REVITALIZATION PLAN
The City stands on the cusp of a thrilling
reformation embarking on the next
transformative phase of its DBRP—turning
vision into reality. We understand that this
PDR effort will provide the bridge between
the bold planning concepts developed in
the Downtown Beaumont Revitalization
Plan (DBRP, 2024) and the technical
precision required for the next phase of
work, the successful design, permitting,
and construction. The intent is to advance
a set of catalytic projects that will restore
downtown as the heart of Beaumont's
community and economic life.
Nestled within the historic core of the
City, the revitalization effort is centered
on the vibrant corridors of 6th Street and
Beaumont Avenue and aims to improve
mobility, enhance public space, and enable
new development through targeted capital
improvements. The DBRP identifies a
series of "Revitalization Hubs" and mobility
enhancements, including reconfigured
intersections, new roundabouts, improved
pedestrian infrastructure, and reimagined
public realms that will nurture small
businesses and walkable housing, crafting
an environment where community spirit
flourishes.
Our team understands that the PDR
is not merely a collection of concepts
but a technical blueprint that embraces
environmental, geotechnical, utility,
drainage, right-of-way (R/W), and traffic
studies necessary to advance priority
improvements into final design. We will
navigate feasibility constraints (like R/W
availability and utility conflicts), prepare
preliminary civil plans (30%), identify
permitting pathways, estimate costs, and
evaluate design alternatives that support
decision -making and funding applications.
Coordination with ongoing initiatives,
such as updates to the Downtown Code,
ensuring CEQA consistency with the 2040
General Plan PEIR, and meeting community
engagement expectations, is paramount.
We will craft the PDR to document and
resonate with the community's aspirations
while aligning with City standards, financial
realities, and operational needs.
Ultimately, this PDR effort is more than
technical documentation. It is a dynamic
milestone on the path to realizing
Downtown Beaumont's long-range vision.
Our commitment is to deliver a Report
and concepts that is not only actionable
and visionary, but is also rooted in solid
engineering and planning principles.
-Approach
Our approach to delivering the PDR for
Downtown Beaumont is grounded in
experience, collaboration, and a proven
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
31 ability to translate visionary plans into final
design -ready designs. As the authors of the
Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan,
our team begins this project with a head
start —we know the vision, the context,
the community voices behind it, and the
physical and regulatory realities that must
be addressed to bring it to life.
We also bring lessons learned and
best practices from similar corridor
transformations such as the La Quinta
project mentioned above, West Texas
Complete Streets "The Heart of Fairfield",
and the East Broadway Complete Streets
Project in Long Beach to name just a few.
These efforts involved phasing strategies,
complete streets retrofits, traffic modeling,
roundabout design, transit coordination,
ADA compliance, and creative yet
pragmatic design to overcome significant
physical and funding constraints.
Our local and seasoned Project Manager
Steven Latino, along -side our Assistant
Project Manager Erin McPherson will work
with and guide the City with a structured,
adaptable approach that anticipates
challenges, fosters alignment across
departments and agencies, and results in
an actionable, fundable, and community -
supported 30% design package, as well as
a roadmap to construction.
Together, we will build on what we
helped create
Leveraging our planning and traffic teams,
we come equipped with intimate knowledge
of the project area, technical content, and
stakeholder priorities. We'II refine the City's
priority improvements —such as those on
6th Street, Beaumont Avenue, and near
key Revitalization Hubs —into preliminary
designs based on updated conditions and
engineering analyses. This continuity saves
time, reduces startup costs, and ensures
that technical development reflects the
intent and outcomes of the original Plan.
Technical grounding for an informed
design
We will lead with robust data collection:
topographic and utility surveys, traffic
operations assessments, geotechnical
borings, drainage and lighting evaluations,
and R/W research. In the "Heart of
Fairfield" project, these steps were critical
to overcoming physical constraints like
constrained cross slopes and aging
infrastructure —similar challenges we
anticipate in the City's historic downtown.
This early technical grounding allows us to
produce design concepts that are not just
visionary, but feasible, scalable, and cost -
aligned.
"Heart of Fairfield" Early Alternative Option.
Design alternatives and visualizations
that empower decisions
We will develop and refine concept
alternatives for key streets and
intersections including roundabouts, road
diets, widened sidewalks, bike facilities, and
placemaking features with clear decision
matrices that highlight the benefits and the
impacts that each alternative may have, not
only on the built environment, but also on
the benefits and impacts to the roadway
users (pedestrians and bicyclists) users,
adjacent land owners/operators and the
motoring public.
Sample visualizations.
As the saying goes, "a picture is worth
1000 words", we embrace that on many
of our projects, but especially of projects
that will change the way the roadway will
look and feel for the community. Our
3D visualizations have helped decision -
makers and the public visualize dramatic
corridor changes. It can also help the
City to balance stakeholder priorities with
environmental, engineering, and funding
constraints.
To this end, our landscape architectural
team will lead a streetscape and landscape
design approach that helps the community
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
32 visualize the potential appearance and
continuity of each selected corridor - each
expressing the context -sensitive character.
The visualizations will help enable citizens
and stakeholders to determine the change
in conditions, character, streetscape
elements, and circulation enhancements
for each roadway while enhancing existing
connections, circulation/user needs,
and design for continuity of a unified
corridor. For the City, we will prepare
plan -view exhibits, renderings , and typical
sections for staff and stakeholder review,
highlighting trade-offs and providing clarity.
Guiding the CEQA strategy and
regulatory navigation
We will coordinate closely with City staff
and the 2040 General Plan PEIR to confirm
CEQA consistency and determine whether
a CEQA Addendum, Negative Declaration
(ND), or Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) is required. Our environmental
team will also help scope identify federal,
state and local permitting needs early
including environmental constraints,
Caltrans coordination, utility relocations/
considerations, stormwater compliance,
and potential Section 106 or resource
agency consultation cultural and historic
resources to streamline future phases.
Understanding the environmental
requirements and potential mitigation
needs is key to developing a concept that
can be permitted by the various agencies.
Identifying what technical studies are
required (e.g., biological, cultural, noise,
traffic, air quality) and determining the
appropriate level of CEQA documentation
will be critical in shaping the scope,
budget, and schedule of final design and
construction. Our team will evaluate these
factors early in the process to ensure that
the PDR reflects realistic assumptions
and prepares the City for successful
environmental clearance and permitting.
Providing clear and consistent
communication with the City
We know that great projects require
collaboration. As a fully integrated in-house
team, we are nimble and responsive with
planners, engineers, and environmental
professionals working side by side. Our
approach includes: monthly project
meetings and milestone workshops; real-
time coordination using collaborative
platforms like the AutoCAD Cloud,
Bluebeam, and teams; and early and clear
coordination with other agencies such as
Caltrans, Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), utility agencies,
and others.
Project Manager Steven Latino will be
the City's main point of contact and Erin
McPherson will serve as a secondary
point of contact, when needed. We have
found - and proven on other projects - that
having a management team provides a very
effective way to balance the needs of the
internal and external project team allowing
us to be responsive in a timely manner.
Having Steven and Erin will result in
ensuring that even if the one of them is on
a short vacation, traveling for business, or
out sick, you will have a contact here at
GHD who knows the ins and outs of the
project and can respond to your requests
and needs in a timely manner.
We will provide regular updates and remain
responsive to the City's evolving needs
throughout the project duration.
Meaningful engagement with the
community, stakeholders and business
owners
Downtown revitalization is most successful
when shaped by those who live, work,
and invest there. Our approach centers
community voices especially those of
business owners, property owners, and
residents who will be directly impacted
by construction and long-term changes.
Having already led extensive outreach for
the Downtown Beaumont Revitalization
Plan, we will build on those relationships
and the feedback previously gathered to
maintain momentum and ensure continued
alignment with community priorities. Some
of the recommendations that came out
of the last round of engagement were to
conduct a community survey, prepare an
economic development brochure, and
continue promoting the Revitalization Plan
through business leadership events.
We will use a targeted, scalable engagement
approach focused on accessibility,
transparency, and impact. Our strategy is
detailed further below.
In the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway
(FORTAG) project, similar outreach led
to tangible design improvements such as
safer crossings and beautification, a seating
node at the Butterfly Garden, hardscape
and amenity theme selection and more. In
Downtown Beaumont, we will ensure that
business continuity, safety, and access are
central considerations during the concept
design phase.

Our plan is to deliver a roadmap, not
just a report
The final PDR will include 30% design plans,
cost estimates, a phasing and funding
strategy, CEQA documentation guidance,
and construction staging concepts. We
will make the document implementation -
ready —enabling the City to pursue grants,
initiate final design, and confidently plan
capital improvements.
West Texas Gateway Improvements
®V RFIELD
C�)
West Texas Gateway Improvements outreach handout.
In the "Heart of Fairfield", this approach
directly led to a $10.7M ATP award and a
successful bid -ready PS&E package, which
is scheduled for construction this season.
We aim to deliver the same momentum for
the City.
Our approach to delivering the work plan.
The following is a high-level look at our
approach to each of the main tasks
identified in the request for proposals.
Task 1: Project Management
We will begin with a detailed project
kick-off meeting with City staff to
confirm project goals, priority projects
from the Revitalization Plan, and a list of
stakeholders and coordination needs.
During this task, we will review and
validate the list of priorities, define a
communications protocol and confirm
key contacts, host project team meetings
and more. Our team's familiarity with the
Downtown Plan ensures we can move
quickly and collaboratively from day one.
This task will also include our QA/QC
process, which includes discipline leads
reviewing each deliverable against scope
and City standards, with checklists and
redline tracking. We will maintain a live
project schedule, updated bi-weekly, with
critical path tracking.
Task 2: Data Gathering and
Analysis
We will mobilize immediately to gather
the critical base information needed to
inform design alternatives. Our in-house
knowledge of the work done to date will
help us streamline this process and start off
quickly.
In both Fairfield and Long Beach, early data
gathering uncovered R/W limitations, poor
drainage conditions, and outdated utilities
that directly shaped our design solutions.
We will bring the same proactive lens to
Downtown Beaumont.
Task 3: Investigations
We will work with the City to obtain all
necessary encroachment permits from
day one to start investigating the existing
infrastructure and collecting the field data
we need as identified in our scope of work.
In the La Quinta and Heart of Fairfield
projects, early data gathering uncovered
R/W limitations, poor drainage conditions,
outdated utilities, and utilities that could
not be relocated, that directly shaped our
design solutions. We will bring the same
proactive lens to Downtown Beaumont.
Task 4: Design Options
Based on field data, public input, and
agency feedback, we will develop
conceptual alternatives for each major
improvement. Our engineers will build
these from the Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
34 concepts and evolve them into technically
feasible detailed conceptual drawings.
The concepts will be the basis for the
visualization and rendering work that
will be done in a manner that clearly
shows the City, stakeholders, and the
community what the project alternatives
could look like. All alternatives will include
concept -level drawings, visual renderings,
and a summary of benefits, costs, and
constraints.
Task 5: PDR
Our team will deliver a fully developed PDR
that includes:
- 30% preliminary design drawings (plan,
profile, sections, signing and striping,
lighting, utilities)
Design criteria and Basis of Design
(BoD) memorandum
Detailed cost estimates with
contingencies and unit cost assumptions
Phasing recommendations aligned with
available funding and development
CEQA and permitting and
strategy documentation
Summary of public/stakeholder input
and responses
GIS-compatible base files and CAD
drawing sets
As part of this scope, our environmental
team will review the proposed
improvements for consistency with the
City's 2040 General Plan PEIR. We will
prepare a CEQA Consistency Memo
identifying whether an addendum or
supplemental documentation is needed
and identify regulatory requirements. This
step ensures that design alternatives are
not only feasible, but implementable under
CEQA.
In addition, we will prepare exhibits and
technical narratives suitable for ATP, HSIP,
and other grant applications. In the "Heart of
Fairfield" and the City of Fremont's Dumbarton
to Quarry Lakes Trail project, this enabled
the City of Fairfield to quickly apply for and
secure $10.7M in Active Transportation Program
funding and the City of Fremont to leverage
a grant from the local COG to obtain $2M for
preparation of the environmental document and
final design.
Task 6: Environmental Services
(Optional)
Based on the recommendations in the PDR, our
team will prepare documentation needed to
pursue environmental clearance.
Task 7: Stakeholder Coordination and
Communication (Optional)
Effective communication is central to our
approach. If desired by the City, we will work
hand -in -hand with City staff, external partner
agencies, key stakeholders and the community
to shape designs that reflect shared goals
and can move forward with the project in
confidence. As an extension to the City, we'll
propose an engagement strategy and activities
that align with the project's engagement
objectives, such as understanding operational
needs and concerns. These engagement
activities could include targeted workshops with
key stakeholders meetings, one-on-one and
small group meetings interviews with business
owners, property owners, and community -
based organizations to understand operational
needs and concerns, pop-up engagement
events at high -traffic local events and locations,
digital engagement materials, and public
presentation (i.e. support including City Council,
Planning Commission, or advisory meetings)
as needed. We can also prepare engagement
summaries with key takeaways and , a comment
matrix documenting how community input
shaped project direction —supporting both
transparency and future grant
applications.
3 Project Schedule
GHD has prepared a preliminary
schedule based on our proposed
scope that outlines the timeframe
necessary to complete the project.
Upon kick-off of the project, the
schedule will be revised with detail to
layout exact submittals and further
break down tasks for better tracking
throughout the life of the project.
GHD anticipates the work to take
approximately 16 months from NTP.
-Conclusion
Our approach is informed by
real -world experience, a deep
understanding of the City's context,
and a commitment to implementation.
Our approach emphasizes feasibility,
phasing, regulatory readiness, and
design excellence across every task.
As demonstrated in our sample
projects, our in-house team can guide
complex downtown revitalization
projects from vision to reality —
responsively, collaboratively, and
efficiently. Should we be selected for
this opportunity, we will join the City as
a partner to delivery.

-Staffing and Managing Tasks Efficiently
GHD realizes that efficiency an staffing will be key in order to guarantee a smooth Project for the City. Our Project Manager Steven Latino will be the representative who spends time at the City. Due to his extensive knowledge of the City, the City's past project, knowledge of City Staff, and location, this will allow for him to develop a process not only that works for all the stakeholders but will set the path going forward for GHD.
It is assumed that GHD, once brought into the Project, will review all items associated with the Project and scope and schedule accordingly for the Project kick-off meeting. Steven will work with the City, GHD staff, and subconsultants to determine the best methodology for communication and Project tracking. Currently, GHD uses several tracking tools, including Microsoft Loop and GHD People Planner. In addition, Steven has previously used the Planner add on within Teams to track Projects.
Once the methods have been determined and everything
is up and running smoothly, Steven will work with the City to develop a PMP documenting the process so that there is an understanding between all parties how the work will be carried out. This will allow for consistency for the City and its stakeholders throughout the life of the contract. Additionally, that PMP and staff will stay with them through the life of the Project.
Initially, GHD has identified numerous internal employees that can assist in carrying out the Project duties.

West Texas Complete Streets
Fairfield, CA
West Texas Street is a five -lane arterial road that
serves as a crucial connection between I-80 and
significant transportation hubs. With average daily
traffic volumes exceeding 25,000 vehicles per day
at the expense of community connectivity, safety,
and livability. The city embarked on ajourney of
developing the Heart of Fairfield Specific Plan.
GHD was selected to build on the Plan to prepare
initial feasibility for private funding opportunities
with planned redevelopment, including analysis of
Special Finance Districts and preparation of corridor
transportation study and concepts. Concepts
included implementation of a combination of
bicycle facilities, pedestrian and motor vehicle
safety features/enhancements, and comparison
of the opportunities and constraints of each. They
included evaluation of a roadway reconfiguration
of a five -lane street section to either widened
sidewalks, Class IV and Class IV parking protected,
Class II buffered or Class II bike facilities, travel lane, and TWLT or raised meridian in certain portions of
the corridor. Intersection control was evaluated,
including both traffic signal and roundabout upgrades.
GHD produced a variety of financing option study
documents, transportation corridor study technical
memorandum, four plan line concepts and analysis of
construction phasing, and grant funding opportunities
including for ATP, HSIP, and Urban Greening. GHD
developed a Cycle 5 ATP application for this project
which has been recommended for funding.

De Portola/Jedidiah Smith Roads
Roundabout I Temecula, CA
The De Portola/Jedidiah Smith Roads roundabout
aims to address the City's growing traffic congestion
and enhance roadway safety. This project involves
the construction of a modern roundabout designed
to calm traffic, accommodate non -motorized
users, and maintain the rural character of the area.
Key features include expanded splitter islands and
increased roadway deflection to gradually slow
approaching vehicles, as well as an oval -shaped
roundabout for improved vehicle entry angles and a
smaller footprint. Additionally, it incorporates angled crosswalks and bicycle ramps to enhance visibility
and ease of use for pedestrians and cyclists. GHD is
providing preliminary design, public outreach with the
surrounding community, and PS&E for the proposed
intersection improvements. Community engagement
and consensus building are central to the project's
success. GHD engaged the community with outreach
meetings, receiving valuable feedback about concerns
of the proposed improvements and adjacent property
owners. Many of the concerns involved speeding,
safety, and equestrian accessibility. All design aspects accommodated equestrian mobility in and around
the roundabout, but also the increased trailer usage.
GHD was able to accommodate the design of the
roundabout within the existing City R/W requiring
only temporary easements for construction. GHD
has completed the 60% plans and estimates and is
currently progressing the 90% PS&E package.

The project is located at the intersection of Avenue
52 and Jefferson Street, where an existing roundabout
serves as a critical hub for traffic movement in the
area. While functional, the current configuration has
identified opportunities for safety and accessibility
enhancements. GHD is providing evaluation of the
existing roundabout at the intersection of Ave. 52/
Jefferson Ave. to identify improvements to enhance
safety and functionality. The existing intersection is a single lane roundabout with right -turn by pass lanes
in all directions. Jefferson Ave. is striped as two lanes with trap right turn lanes and Ave. 52 is striped as a
single lane. Approach speeds on the roundabout are
relatively high, and the City's general plan identifies that future expansion of both roads is necessary.
GHD is focusing improvements on functionality
for future expansion of the roundabout including
a two-lane roundabout to accommodate needed
additional lanes. GHD will establish the ideal lane
configuration and provide intersection geometrics
and three concepts to modify the existing roundabout
for compliance with the 2024 NCHRP Report 1043.
GHD is in the preliminary stages and will begin the
evaluation of the roundabout. GHD will present the
alterations to the roundabout to the City Council to
determine the next steps. Once the City Council and
public outreach is complete, GHD will develop bid
ready documents to facilitate the changes.

SR 29/SR 221 interchange keeps the traffic flowing at
one of the busiest highway interchanges. This reduces
the risk of rear -end accidents and traffic delays by
converting the existing signal -lights approaching the
interchange into a series of roundabouts The project
consisted of design of a tight diamond interchange
with two, multi -lane roundabouts on either side
of SR 29. SR 29 was rebuilt as an overcrossing
north of the intersection with SR -221, providing
separation between SR -29 and Soscol Ferry Road
and the adjacent roundabout entry. The project
also constructed Class 1 facility to accommodate
bicycles and pedestrians through the intersection.
GHD assisted with the preparation of the PA/ED with
Caltrans District 4 for a revision to the original Caltrans flyover concept to a diamond interchange at the SR 29
and 221 interchanges, proposing roundabouts for both
ramp intersections. GHD also led portions of design
and finalization of the project during Caltrans' review and approval process and led preparation of select
plan sheets including layout, construction details, and grading plans. This is a high -profile project for Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA), as the agency
has been trying to update this integral intersection for the last decade.

Downtown Specific Plan
Twentynine Palms, CA
The City is creating a new Downtown Specific Plan to
guide development for over a 20 -to -25 -year horizon.
The Plan defines goals, policies, and implementation
actions for economic development and employment,
land use/zoning, housing, landscaping, open space,
transportation/connectivity/mobility, and parking.
Downtown should serve as the economic and social
hub, but major retail businesses vacated downtown
properties while developers favor larger lot sizes and
car -oriented formats not suitable to a walkable and
vibrant downtown. The new Plan fosters economic
revitalization and reduces barriers to housing
affordability with a land use strategy that invited
sustainable growth, investments in safer multimodal
roadways and green spaces, and forward -thinking
catalytic projects for new business. GHD was
challenged to reshape the regulatory and capital
investment landscape to entice entrepreneurs, jobs,
residents, and tourists. Key challenges included a
lack of municipal sewer, adequate tourist -oriented
public realm for events, and interest from retail
developers. GHD led a multidisciplinary team including
subconsultants in real estate strategy, VMT analysis,
and archaeology. GHD's responsibilities included all
land use, development planning, and urban design; an
IS/MND; transportation/roadway concepts including
improvements along the SR 62/Twentyine Palms
Highway Corridor, Adobe Road Corridor, and Freedom
Way Downtown Paseo; sewer funding strategies; public
workshops; and draft/final Specific Plan document.

Milpas Street Crosswalk Safety and
Sidewalk Widening I Santa Barbara, CA
Milpas Street is a busy arterial street in the Eastside neighborhood with five lanes of traffic carrying over
23,000 vehicles per day. Milpas ranks #2 in the
City for the highest number of pedestrian -involved
collisions. As a result, City Council designated Milpas as a Vision Zero Priority Corridor. The community
advocated active transportation solutions including
a bicycle boulevard and walking improvements. The
City applied for an ATP Cycle 6 grant for the Milpas
Street Crosswalk Safety and Sidewalk Widening
Project in 2022 and was successful, with nearly
$8 million awarded to the City for final design and
construction. The improvement project includes
safety enhancements including: new curb extensions,
high -visibility crosswalks, additional lighting,
accessibility improvements, widened sidewalks at
street corners and transit stops, leading pedestrian
intervals at signalized intersections, mast arm mounted rectangular rapid flashing beacons, and a median
refuge island at one non -signalized intersection. Three- foot -wide buffers will be added to the existing bike
lanes between Cota and Canon Perdido Streets to
improve cyclist safety and additional bicycle parking
on Milpas Street will improve cyclist access. GHD is
overseeing the design of nine blocks of intersection
improvements in the main east side arterial street of
Milpas Street. Construction is expected to occur in

all users. The project also reduces GHG emissions
by minimizing vehicle idle times and encouraging
multimodal users for bicycles/pedestrians to cross
SR 121/SR 12 to connect to the proposed Sonoma
Schellville Trail with the planned San Francisco
Bay Trail. GHD managed the first PID phase as part
of an SCTA on -call task order. GHD developed
and evaluated alternatives to provide a safe and
equitable improvement, which best meet local and
regional goals while minimizing impacts to the natural
environment and protecting historically -significant
structures. GHD oversaw alternative analysis and
development and the PSR-PDS that included traffic
operations analysis, ICEs, VMT assessment, complete
street assessment, estimate, public outreach, and
more. The PSR-PDS explored roundabout and
signalized alternatives. GHD coordinated with many

movement and delivery; and, 3) provide
a cost estimation for impact mitigation
actions for consideration and potential
inclusion into the TPPS and TUMF
updates, controlling for the proportion
of any project cost already allocated to
non -logistics development. The logistics
study component is anticipated to result
in a stand-alone report that can be
distributed to member agencies to aid in
the implementation of AB 98, and that
further provides supplemental information,
analysis and input to be incorporated
into the update of the TPPS and related

methodology for final design.
Deliverables: Preliminary Drainage/
Floodplain Assessment
Subtask 3.6: Traffic Studies and
Assessments
3.6.1; Gather Existing Conditions Data
GHD, in partnership with the City's team,
will work together to assemble Geographic
Information System (GIS) and multimodal
transportation data. This includes compiling
and reviewing existing transportation, land
use, and mapping data for the project area.
GHD will also gather available traffic volume
data provided by the City, Caltrans, and
relevant traffic information that is available
on SWITRS and TIMS. The information
collected under this task will be used to
prepare GIS figures that clearly present the
data.
GHD will use a combination of field data
collection and past document review
to better understand issues related to
active transportation along the corridor.
Maps showing existing and proposed
classification maps for the study corridor
will be assembled. GHD also maintains
access to the Replica platform, which
provides derived mobility information
PDR for Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan
City of Beaumont
63 such as travel origins and destinations, trip
purposes, and trip modes from anonymized
mobile sources. This information will
be available to enhance field -collected
information and outputs from the available
travel demand models with "big picture"
real -world travel information. GHD will
prepare an existing conditions memo which
will include a description of the corridor,
multimodal facilities, collision history and
identify any deficiencies.
3.6.2: Design Year Conditions
For this study, GHD will obtain the most
current version of the relevant Travel
Demand Model (TMD). GHD will review the
current and future land use assumptions,
both within the project area. Additionally,
GHD will verify the highway network
coding within the project study area for
the existing and future year networks to
ensure that they are consistent with future
year circulation and land development
assumptions.
Opening Year forecasts will also be
developed using straight line interpolation
between Existing and Design Year volumes.
3.6.3: Transportation Operations
Traffic operations will be performed for all
modes of travel for the Existing, Opening
Year and "No -Build" conditions. Although
Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition
provides multimodal level -of -service
(MMLOS) methodologies, the analysis steps
are relatively data -intensive and may yield
counterintuitive results. GHD proposes the
Plan instead focus on assessing level of
traffic stress (LTS). LTS, as developed by
the Mineta Transportation Institute and San
Jose State University, quantifies the level of
discomfort experience by bicyclists based
on the speed and volume of traffic, their
separation from vehicles, and frequency
of conflict points on roadways and through
intersections. GHD will document bicycle
and pedestrian LTS along the corridor, and
through each study intersection, before
and after improvement. The resulting LTS
maps and analysis can be used to evaluate
proposed concepts for their ability to
improve safe non -motorized access
between community points of interest like
schools, shops, services, parks, transit, and
other important destinations.
Subtask 3.7: Street and Pedestrian
Lighting Analysis
MNS will complete the Street and
Pedestrian lighting analysis which will
focus on approximately four blocks along
6th Street, between California and Palm
Avenue. It will also cover approximately
six (6) blocks along Beaumont Avenue,
between 5th and 11th Streets. This area
will include pedestrian -scale lighting, such
as bollards and decorative lighting fixtures,
designed to enhance safety, aesthetics
and create an inviting atmosphere. Specific
emphasis will be placed on ensuring that
lighting solutions meet the aesthetic and
functional needs of the downtown area.
A photometric analysis of the existing
condition and proposed conditions will be
developed to highlight deficiencies and
improvements.
Lighting Standards: The lighting design
will be based on the RP -8-22 standard,
which provides guidelines for roadway
and walkway lighting. This will ensure that
the proposed lighting meets the required
levels of illumination, uniformity, and energy
efficiency appropriate for pedestrian
pathways, public spaces, and downtown
corridors. The study will evaluate fixture
types, placement, and spacing in line with
this standard to achieve optimal safety and
visual appeal.
Deliverables: Preliminary Lighting
Study documenting key findings

However, in no event will this coverage extend beyond the terms and conditions of the Coverage Form.
All other terms, conditions, provisions and exclusions of this policy remain the same.

1. Breakdown;
2. Repair;
3. Servicing;
4. "Loss"; or
5. Destruction.
2. The following is added to the Paragraph A. Coverage Provision of the Physical Damage Coverage Section:
Temporary Substitute Autos — Physical Damage
We will pay the owner for "loss" to the temporary substitute "auto" unless the "loss" results from fraudulent acts or omissions on your part. If we make any payment to the owner, we will obtain the owner's rights against any other party.
The deductible for the temporary substitute "auto" will be the same as the deductible for the covered "auto" it replaces.
M. Amended Duties In The Event Of Accident, Claim, Suit Or Loss Paragraph a. of the Duties In The Event Of Accident, Claim, Suit Or Loss Condition is replaced by the following:
a. In the event of "accident", claim, "suit" or "loss", you must give us or our authorized representative prompt notice of the "accident", claim, "suit" or "loss". However, these duties only apply when the "accident", claim, "suit" or "loss" is known to you (if you are an individual), a partner (if you are a partnership), a member (if you are a limited liability company) or an executive officer or insurance manager (if you are a corporation). The failure of any agent, servant or employee of the "insured" to notify us of any "accident", claim, "suit" or "loss" shall not invalidate the insurance afforded by this policy.
Include, as soon as practicable:
(1) How, when and where the "accident" or "loss" occurred and if a claim is made or "suit" is brought, written notice of the claim or "suit" including, but not limited to, the date and details of such claim or "suit"; (2) The "insured's" name and address; and
(3) To the extent possible, the names and addresses of any injured persons and witnesses.
If you report an "accident", claim, "suit" or "loss" to another insurer when you should have reported to us, your failure to report to us will not be seen as a violation of these amended duties provided you give us notice as soon as practicable after the fact of the delay becomes known to you.
N. Waiver of Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us The following is added to the Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us Condition:
This Condition does not apply to the extent required of you by a written contract, executed prior to any "accident" or "loss", provided that the "accident" or "loss" arises out of operations contemplated by such contract. This waiver only applies to the person or organization designated in the contract.
O. Employee Hired Autos — Physical Damage
Paragraph b. of the Other Insurance Condition in the Business Auto Coverage Form and Paragraph f. of the Other Insurance — Primary and Excess Insurance Provisions Condition in the Motor Carrier Coverage Form are replaced by the following:
For Hired Auto Physical Damage Coverage, the following are deemed to be covered "autos" you own:
(1) Any covered "auto" you lease, hire, rent or borrow; and (2) Any covered "auto" hired or rented under a written contract or written agreement entered into by an "employee" or elected or appointed official with your permission while being operated within the course and scope of that "employee's" employment by you or that elected or appointed official's duties as respect their obligations to you.
However, any "auto" that is leased, hired, rented or borrowed with a driver is not a covered "auto".
