Item 4.
STAFF REPORT
1/25/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E. - City Engineer
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment Number One to the Reimbursement Agreement with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments for Avenue 48 Arts and Music Line Project Design
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment Number One to the Reimbursement Agreement with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments Avenue 48 Arts and Music Line Project design; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is the lead agency for the proposed Avenue 48 Arts and Music Line (Arts and Music Line Project) improvements and has contracted with Webb and Associates to design the project.
The proposed Arts and Music Line Project will be a community connector to the CV Link located primarily along Avenue 48. On October 20th, 2022, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) staff announced that CVAG was recommended for a 36.483 million dollar grant for the Arts and Music line. Please see the Attachment 2: CVAG Staff report for description of the grant approval process.
CVAG entered into a cost share agreement with the City of Coachella in April of 2022, for a total not to exceed sum of $54,638. Due to additional final engineering costs that will be incurred to produce final bid ready plans, CVAG is requesting to amend the cost share agreement to cover additional design work. Per the attached Amendment Number One the new not to exceed cost share amount to the City of Coachella would be $75,838.
BACKGROUND:
The Arts and Music Line is a pedestrian and bicycle community connector to the CV Link and located primarily along Avenue 48 (Attachment 1: Project Route Map). The eastern end will extend along Dillon Road to the Spotlight 29 Casino. The western end will extend to Washington Street.
Item 5.
The project’s design will incorporate both light and sound elements, plus. The project also includes partnerships with two school districts and Golden Voice, as the route provides an opportunity to feature students’ art and music.
The proposed local share of the design cost has been calculated by linear mileage of the project.
Additional factors, such as sidewalk use and construction of trail along one or both sides of the road were included in the calculation.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may elect not to approve this agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project design cost is now projected be $3,791,897 (Attachment 2). CVAG’s regional share is $2,843,923 and the 25% local share is $947.974.
The local share is distributed between the Cities of Coachella, Indio, and La Quinta primarily by linear mileage and additional factors, such as sidewalk use and construction of trail along one or both sides of the road.
The City of Coachella’s share would increase from $ $54,638 to $75,838. If approved, the City’s share would increase by $21,200 and be appropriated from the General Fund. - Attachment 1. CVAG Arts and Music Line Cost Share Agreement - Attachment 2. Site Maps

STAFF REPORT
Subject: Next Steps for the Arts and Music Line
Contact: Jonathan Hoy, Director of Transportation (jhoy($cvaq.orq) Recommendation: Authorize the Chair and/or Executive Director to:
1. Take the necessary steps accept $36.483 million in Active Transportation Program Funding, conditional on approval by the California Transportation Commission; and
2. Execute Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for a not to exceed amount of $1,060,000, including 10 percent contingency; and authorize the Executive Director and/or Legal Counsel to make clarifying changes/revisions before execution; and
3. Execute amendments to existing reimbursement agreements with the Cities of Coachella, Indio and La Quinta to adjust the local share of pre-construction services Transportation Committee: Concurs (Meeting of November 7) Backqround: On October 20, 2022, California Transportation Commission (CTC) staff announced the recommended projects for Cycle 6 of the Active Transportation Program (ATP), a highly competitive pot of funding for bike and pedestrian projects. CVAG was recommended to receive $36.483 million for the Arts & Music Line, a 15-mile project that largely extends along Avenue 48 in the Cities of La Quinta, Indio and Coachella. The project provides safe routes to local schools and embraces the use of bold color schemes, innovative lighting and artwork to create not only a safe and inviting route but also a destination in and of itself. It includes two connections to CV Link - the valleywide multi-modal pathway now under construction - and a connection to the polo grounds, which is home to the world-renowned Coachella and Stagecoach art and music festivals.
The project is one of 67 projects in the statewide component that are eyed to receive $853.52 million from the 2023 Active Transportation Program. The grant awards are recommendations by CTC staff. The projects, along with recommendations for the small urban and rural projects, will be presented to the California Transportation Commission for approval when they meet in Riverside on December 7-8, 2022. The Arts and Music Line is, by far, the largest project being recommended out of Riverside County. CTC staff has also recommended $300,000 for a mobility plan in the unincorporated community of Desert Edge and nearly $8.2 million for three different projects in the City of Jurupa Valley.
Projects are scored on a 100-point scale; projects that don't get funded in the statewide round are then considered for funding in the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) round, where there are fewer dollars to spread out across the state. For the Coachella Valley, that allocation process includes additional scoring based on the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC)
Item 5.
adopted selection criteria. RCTC's deadline to submit the ATP award list to the Southern California Association of Governments for the MPO share is January 30, 2023. On November 21, 2022, RCTC released their draft Riverside County ATP Cycle 6 MPO award list. If these recommendations are approved, the City of Desert Hot Springs will be receiving $17.397 million for two projects located along Hacienda Ave and Palm Drive, with the latter project benefitting from CVAG's Bike and Pedestrian Safety Program that is designed to get projects shovel-ready.
The awards to Desert Hot Springs also represent more than 39 percent of the available MPO funding for Riverside County, and when combined with the Arts and Music Line, will bring a total of $53.88 million in ATP funding to the Coachella Valley.
Based on the CVAG's Arts and Music Line proposed scope of work, the project is expected to start construction in early 2025. In anticipation of this construction funding, CVAG staff is recommending an amendment to the existing contract with Albert A Webb Associates contract to incorporate the required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, and the design changes proposed in the Cycle 6 application.
CVAG's contract with Webb was first authorized as part of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program, which provides funding for getting regional ATP projects "shelf ready" for future grant opportunities. In September 2019, CVAG's Executive Committee approved staffs recommendation that CVAG hire Webb Associates to complete preliminary engineering, environmental analysis, and final design work for on the Arts and Music Line, as well as regional design guidelines for bike and pedestrian projects valley-wide. In September 2021, the CVAG Executive Committee authorized a no-cost extension to extend Webb's contract through December 2022.
CVAG previously submitted applications for the Arts & Music Line in both Cycle 4 and Cycle 5 of the state's Active Transportation Program, with Webb Associates assisting in Cycle 5. In both cycles, the project was short of the cut-off for the statewide round and was left in the position of having to turn down partial funding in as much as $7.7 million in the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) round because it would have put too much strain on the local and regional resources to accept that award and fill the funding gap.
In preparing for Cycle 6, CVAG staff used the remaining contingency in Webb Associates' contract to modify the proposed project to secure the greatest possible points on the application. The proposed project will construct approximately 9 miles of protected bicycle facilities (Class 1 and 4) along Avenue 48, Van Buren Street, and Dillon Road; more than six miles of Class 2 and 3 school spurs that directly connect the project to 41 disadvantaged schools; provides significant separation and protection for people walking along the project corridors; includes bicycle signals, raised and/or recessed bike/pedestrian crossings, and bicycle signal indicators; and services more than 19 existing affordable housing communities in the area.
In addition to these capital improvements, the project will implement a bike to school program.
This program consists of a bike/walk train program, encouraging students to walk or bike together to school; a walking/biking route map - accessible by paper or smartphone, via a QR code; and a bicycle rodeo program that promotes an outdoor skills course where students can practice b icycle safety.
The original contract with Webb Associates only included the analysis needed to address California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, the pot of funding that CVAG has been recommended to receive includes federal dollars, which triggers the need for additional NEPAlevel work.
Item 5.
Given CVAG's committee schedule for the remainder of 2022, CVAG staff is recommending a contract approval in anticipation of the CTC's vote in December 2022. CVAG staff is also recommending the Executive Director be authorized to take any steps necessary to accept the funding.
Fiscal Analysis: The original contract for Webb Associates was for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,731,897. Amendment No. 1 provided no additional costs but extended the date. Amendment No. 2 will further extend the contract term until December 31, 2024. It also increases the contract amount by an additional $1,060,000. Funding is being split on the 75 percent/25 percent funding formula that is standard for regional projects.
Because the Arts and Music Line's local share spans more than one jurisdiction, the approved reimbursement agreements split the 25 percent local share based on the length of the project in each jurisdiction. Consequently, the local share has been split with the City of La Quinta covering 25%, City of Indio covering 67% and the City of Coachella covering the remaining 8%. CVAG staff has revised the agency reimbursement agreements to account for the additional $1,060,000.
The adjusted local share totals for pre-construction services are as follows:
La Quinta
$236.993
25%
Indio
$635,143
67'3"0
Coachella
$75,838
8%
Total Local
St1are (25%)
$947,974
100%
Looking ahead, CVAG staff will continue to look for additional funding opportunities for the construction costs. Staff will also work with its member jurisdictions to address cost-sharing of the local share of the construction phase, allowing them to budget for future fiscal years. However, those cost sharing agreements will likely move forward closer to the start of construction and/or an awarding of a contract.
Finally, staff would like to note the return on investment of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program and CVAG Committees' support of using local and regional funding to position projects for future grant opportunities. During Cycle 5 of the state's ATP, the City of Cathedral City's regional connector project scored the highest at the MPO level for Riverside County and construction was fully funded at $4.4 million. This Cycle of ATP adds to the success, not just with the Arts and Music Line but also the recommended investment along Palm Drive. If the City of Desert Hot Springs receives the combined $17.397 million for the two projects, the City will secure more than 39 percent of the available MPO funding for Riverside County. When combined with the Arts and Music Line, it will bring a total of $53.88 million in ATP funding to the Coachella Valley.

EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1- Additional Field Survey
WEBB will perform additional field survey for the final design of the project. Field survey information will also include surface ground surface culture, all features within and around the project area, and existing roadway profile and pavement limits. WEBB will perform detailed surveying work including the tie-out of any and all existing survey centerlines and property corner monuments that could be disturbed and affected by the proposed work.
Task 2 - NEPA Compliance
Task 2.1- Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form
WEBB will begin the environmental process by preparing PES Form.
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form - Prepare and submit a PES Form for the ATP project components and all required attachments including pictures, maps, FEMA Zones, ISA Checklist, VIA Checklist, and Air Quality Checklist to Caltrans for review and comment, using the standard form available on the SER website and following the procedures outlined in Chapter 6 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). One round of revisions is included for CVAG and Caltrans comments. WEBB will electronically submit the PES Form and attachments and follow up with Caltrans. WEBB will coordinate with Caltrans to prepare the Categorical Exclusion (CE) and the Environmental Commitments Records (ECR) to obtain NEPA approval.
Deliverables:
* One (1) completed PES Form
The project's contract assumed that the project was only subject to CEQA. CVAG has asked the WEBB team to prepare the NEPA documentation now that Caltrans funding is involved and NEPA applies.
Task 2.2 - Technical Studies
Upon approval of the PES, WEBB anticipates Caltrans will require additional technical studies. If necessary, WEBB will prepare:
Task 2.2. A - Natural Environment Study - Minimal Impacts (NES-Ml) WEBB will team with WSP for biological resource evaluations required for NEPA.
WSP senior biologists will prepare a Natural Environmental Study-Minimal Impacts (NES-Ml). This report will be based on the findings of the MSHCP Consistency Analysis reconnaissance-level surveys but written to comply with all Caltrans report guidelines and will be taken through the standard Caltrans review process.
A field survey will also be conducted using methodologies appropriate for the detection of special-status species (if any) identified during the literature review. Depending on the timing (season) of the field survey, certain species (such as sensitive annual plant species) may be undetectable. However, habitat suitability will be assessed for all special-status species potentially occurring on the site. If habitat is present on-site, focused surveys for species identified during the literature review process maybe required and are not considered part of this amendment.

Task 2.2.B - Jurisdictional Delineation
The project site will be evaluated for jurisdictional resources. Jurisdictional waters of the u.s. and wetlands are regulated by the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Jurisdictional waters of the State are regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and Porter Cologne Act. Jurisdictional streambeds and associated riparian habitat are regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) under Section 1602 of the State Fish and Game Code.
As part of the jurisdictional delineation, a WSP wetland specialist will: 1) review background information including, but not limited to topographic maps, aerial photos, soils surveys, and engineering plans; 2) conduct an on-site evaluation of the site using the methods described in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Manual and the 2008 Arid West Supplement; and 3) produce a Jurisdictional Delineation Report that defines methods and results of the field assessment. Boundaries of jurisdictional areas and proposed impact areas will be overlaid onto aerial photographs for identification and quantification An electronic copy of the draft report will be provided to CVAG for review. Following one round of review comments, any necessary changes will be incorporated into a final electronic report.
Deliverables:
* One (1) completed Jurisdictional Delineation report
Task 2.2.C - Regulatory Permitting
WSP permitting specialists will prepare permit applications for the project. Permit applications will be prepared for the following agencies:
* US Army Corps of Engineers: A Nationwide Permit Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Form wil[ be prepared. This scope assumes the project will qualify under an existing Nationwide Permit (NWP). If the project does not qualify under an existing NWP, an Individual Permit (IP) would be required. Procurement of an IP includes assessments of alternatives and public comment and, therefore, would exceed the cost provided herein and is not included in this scope. * Regional Water Quality Control Board: An application for 401 Water Quality Certification will be prepared.
* California Department of Fish and Game: An application for a Streambed Alteration Agreement will be prepared.
* Draft copies of the permits will be provided to CVAG for review and approval, submit applications, and follow up with agencies on a monthly basis to ensure proper permit processing.

Task 2.2.D - Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys
Focused burrowing owl surveys are required where suitable habitat is present. Where applicable, focused burrowing owl surveys will be conducted, as described below. Focused burrow surveys and four breeding season focused burrowing owl surveys will need to be performed between March 1 and August 31 (during the breeding season). Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys will consist of visits to the project area on four separate days. This scope of work includes surveys on an estimated 20-acres of suitable habitat. If additional habitat is identified within the project site, additional costs may be required.
Results of the surveys, including the methodology transect width, duration, conditions, and findings, will be incorporated into an MSHCP compliant burrowing owl report. Following one round of review comments, any necessary changes will be incorporated into a final electronic report. Appropriate maps showing burrow locations will be included. If burrowing owls are present, a relocation program and preconstruction surveys may be necessary; this scope does not include costs for any type of relocation program or preconstruction survey. If needed, a cost proposal will be prepared at that time.
Deliverables:
* One ('l) completed Burrowing Owl report
Task 2.2.E - Historic Property Survey Report
WEBB will team up with Applied Earthworks (AE)who will prepare the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), which includes an Area of Potential Effect (APE) Map that depicts the area impacted by the project, including staging, construction access areas, and any utility and property relocation work. The map will be plotted on an aerial photograph generated by GIS at a scale of 1"=200', with a bar scale. The map will depict the locations of any cultural resources identified in the APE.
The HPSR will summarize consultations and decisions pursuant to Section 1 C)6.It will document delineation of the APE, completion of the identification phase, completion of National Register of Historic Places eligibility, evaluation of the resources within the project APE, and, if relevant, a finding of no historic properties affected or no adverse effect with standard conditions. The HPSR will be used to request SHPO's concurrence on determinations of eligibility or ineligibility for properties within the project area of the APE to be evaluated.
Specifically, /E will prepare the necessary cultural resources assessments to satisfy the requirements of the Caltrans' Programmatic Agreement (PA) with the California State Historic Preservation Officer regarding compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR Part 800, which include:
@ Utilizing Caltrans' Area of Potentia! Effects (APE) for the project that considers all direct and indirect impacts to significant cultural resources.
h Completing a records search with the Eastern Information Center (EIC). We assume the EIC records search fee will not exceed $1,000.00. The EIC office is closed and will remain closed indefinitely. However, they are accepting and processing requests via email, albeit at a muchslower pace. The current turnaround time for the EIC literature and records search is

Because of the limited staffing situation, this turnaround time may lengthen as a result of circumstances beyond A's control. * Contacting the NAHC for Sacred Lands Files. The NAHC is experiencing delays in response time. The current turnaround time for the NAHC search is 6-8 weeks. AE also will assist Caltrans in contacting Tribes/individuals identified by the NAHC with local Traditional Use Areas that may have information regarding Native American cultural resources within the project vicinity.
Contact will be initiated by letter and followed by email or telephone. K will conduct two 30- day follow-ups on behalf of Caltrans.
* In November 2020, KF:.performed a field visit and pedestrian field reconnaissance survey of the Project area for the CEQA process. Therefore, for Caltrans and Section 106 compliance, AE wil only conduct a pedestrian spot-check survey of the portions of the Project where known resources were observed during the CEQA survey. For the cultural resource spot-check survey, /E is not responsible for landowner permissions and access to the Project area. For the purposes of this price estimate, we assume no subsurface testing and no cultural resources requiring documentation or evaluation are present in the Project area.
The portions of the Project along Avenue 48 east of Van Buren and Dillon Road traverse the Cabazon Indian Reservation and the Twenty-Nine Palms Reservation. If right-of-way (ROW) acquisition is required for the Project, extending the Project beyond the existing road ROW, K. will need to obtain authorization from the u.s. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to conduct surveys on tribal lands. If the Cabazon and Twenty-Nine Palms tribes wish to accompany k during the survey on tribal lands, k assumes they will contract directly with the CVAG. This price estimate excludes time to consult with BIA or obtain authorization from the Tribes and BIA to survey because no ROW acquisition is anticipated.
Assumes no archaeological resources requiring documentation or evaluation will be identified in the APE. AE assumes all built-environment resources within the project area have either been determined ineligible for the NRHP with SHPO concurrence, are outside of the vertical APE, or are exempt from evaluation under the Caltrans PA. Therefore, for the purposes of this proposal, we assume only a single page site record updates to the existing California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms for the six built-environment resources. If additional cultural resources are encountered during € 's fieldwork, then a contract amendment will be necessary and Project costs will increase in accordance with the size and complexity of each resource. * Prepare an APE Map, an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), and a Historic Properties Survey Report (HPSR) to the standards outlined in the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Volume 2, Cultural Resources. Based on our assumptions above regarding builtenvironment eligibility, AE assumes a Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) will not be required for the project. AE assumes two rounds of comments will need to be addressed following review of each submittal to Caltrans. AE's draft and revised reports will be submitted electronically in MS Word format for ease of review; the final report will be submitted electronically as a PDF file. Our price estimate assumes no hard copies of the draft and revised draft reports, and no more than a total of two (2) hard copies of the final report will be required - one each for Caltrans and the EIC.
Deliverables:
* One (1 ) completed HPSR package

Task 2.2.F: Location Hydraulic Study and Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report WEBB will prepare a Location Hydraulic Study that is consistent with 23 CFR 650 Subpart A, Section 650.111 (b)(c)(d). This analysis will determine if the project would result in minimal or significant encroachment on the base floodplaln and If the project Is consistent with the existing watershed and floodplain managsment programs. The study will include but not be limited to the following:
* National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps of information developed by the highway agency. * Evaluation and discussion of the practicability of alternatives to and longitudinal encroachments. * Discussion of commensurate with the significance of the risk or environmental impact, for all alternatives containing encroachments and support floodplain development o The risks associated with implementation of the action o The impacts on natural and beneficial flood-plain values o The support of probably incompatible flood-plain development o The measures to minimize flood-plain impacts associated with the action o The measures to restore and preserve the natural and beneficial floodplain values impacted by the action.
* Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report
WEBB will incorporate revisions from one round of comments from the CVAG prior to finalization and submittal to Caltrans for approval.
Based on recent experience, WEBB believes the preparation of a Water Quality Assessment Report (WQAR) may be required by Caltrans as part of the NEPA process. Therefore, WEBB has included preparation of a WQAR utilizing the current template from Caltrans. The WQAR includes a discussion of the proposed project, the general environmental setting of the project area, and the regulatory framework with respect to water quality. It also provides data on surface water and groundwater resources within the project area and their water quality health, describes water quality impairments and beneficial uses, identifies potential water quality impacts/benefits associated with the proposed project, and recommends avoidance and/or minimization measures for potentially adverse impacts. Information from the Location Hydraulic Study will also be included in the WQAR, as applicable. Revisions to one round of CVAG comments will be ncorporated before finalizing the WQAR and submitting to Caltrans for approval.

CVAG'S ARTS & MUSIC LINE CONTRACT AMENDMENT
EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1- Additional Field Survey
WEBB will perform additional field survey for the final design of the project. Field survey information will also include surface ground surface culture, all features within and around the project area, and existing roadway profile and pavement limits. WEBB will perform detailed surveying work including the tie-out of any and all existing survey centerlines and property corner monuments that could be disturbed and affected by the proposed work.
Task 2 - NEPA Compliance
Task 2.1- Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form
WEBB will begin the environmental process by preparing PES Form.
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form - Prepare and submit a PES Form for the ATP project components and all required attachments including pictures, maps, FEMA Zones, ISA Checklist, VIA Checklist, and Air Quality Checklist to Caltrans for review and comment, using the standard form available on the SER website and Following the procedures outlined in Chapter 6 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). One round of revisions is included for CVAG and Caltrans comments. WEBB will electronically submit the PES Form and attachments and follow up with Caltrans. WEBB will coordinate with Caltrans to prepare the Categorical Exclusion (CE) and the Environmental Commitments Records (ECR) to obtain NEPA approval.
Deliverables:
@ One (1) completed PES Form
The project's contract assumed that the project was only subject to CEQA. CVAG has asked the WEBB team to prepare the NEPA documentation now that Caltrans funding is involved and NEPA applies.
Task 2.2 - Technical Studies
Upon approval of the PES, WEBB anticipates Caltrans will require additional technical studies. If necessary, WEBB will prepare:
Task 2.2. A - Natural Environment Study - Minimal Impacts (NES-Ml) WEBB will team with WSP for biological resource evaluations required for NEPA.
WSP senior biologists will prepare a Natural Environmental Study-Minimal Impacts (NES-Ml). This report will be based on the findings of the MSHCP Consistency Analysis reconnaissance-level surveys but written to comply with all Caltrans report guidelines and will be taken through the standard Caltrans review process.
A field survey will also be conducted using methodologies appropriate for the detection of special-status species (if any) identified during the literature review. Depending on the timing (season) of the field survey, certain species (such as sensitive annual plant species) may be undetectable. However, habitat suitability will be assessed for all special-status species potentially occurring on the site. If habitat is present on-site, focused surveys for species identified during the literature review process maybe required and are not considered part of this amendment.

Deliverables:
* One (1) completed NES-Ml report
Task 2.2.B - Jurisdictional Delineation
The project site will be evaluated for jurisdictional resources. Jurisdictional waters of the u.s. and wetlands are regulated by the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Jurisdictional waters of the State are regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and Porter Cologne Act. Jurisdictional streambeds and associated riparian habitat are regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) under Section 1602 of the State Fish and Game Code.
As part of the jurisdictional delineation, a WSP wetland specialist will: 1) review background information including, but not limited to topographic maps, aerial photos, soils surveys, and engineering plans; 2) conduct an on-site evaluation of the site using the methods described in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Manual and the 2008 Arid West Supplement; and 3) produce a Jurisdictional Delineation Report that defines methods and results of the field assessment. Boundaries of jurisdictional areas and proposed impact areas t,
will be overlaid onto aerial photographs for identification and quantification.
An electronic copy of the draft report will be provided to CVAG for review. Following one round of review comments, any necessary changes will be incorporated into a final electronic report.
Deliverables:
* One (1) completed Jurisdictional Delineation report
Task 2.2.C - Regulatory Permitting
WSP permitting specialists will prepare permit applications for the project. Permit applications will be prepared for the following agencies:
* US Army Corps of Engineers: A Nationwide Permit Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Form will be prepared. This scope assumes the project will qualify under an existing Nationwide Permit (NWP). If the project does not qualify under an existing NWP, an Individual Permit (IP) would be required. Procurement of an IP includes assessments of alternatives and public comment and, therefore, would exceed the cost provided herein and is not inctuded in this scope.
Regional Water Quality Control Board: An application for 401 Water Quality Certification will be prepared.
* California Department of Fish and Game: An application for a Streambed Alteration Agreement will be prepared.
* Draft copies of the permits will be provided to CVAG for review and approval, submit applications, and follow up with agencies on a monthly basis to ensure proper permit processing. Permit fees are not included in this scope. Completion of this task does not include issuance of permits by regulatory agencies.

Task 2.2.D - Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys
Focused burrowing owl surveys are required where suitable habitat is present. Where applicable, focused burrowing owl surveys will be conducted, as described below. Focused burrow surveys and Tour breeding season focused burrowing owl surveys will need to be performed between March 1 and August 31 (during the breeding season). Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys will consist of visits to the project area on four separate days. This scope of work includes surveys on an estimated 20-acres of suitable habitat. If additional habitat is identified within the project site, additional costs may be required.
Results of the surveys, including the methodology transect width, duration, conditions, and findings, will be incorporated into an MSHCP compliant burrowing owl report. Following one round of review comments, any necessary changes will be incorporated into a final electronic report. Appropriate maps showing burrow locations will be included. If burrowing owls are present, a relocation program and preconstruction surveys may be necessary; this scope does not include costs for any type of relocation program or preconstruction survey. If needed, a cost proposal will be prepared at that time.
Deliverables:
* One (1) completed Burrowing Owl report
Task 2.2.E - Historic Property Survey Report
WEBB will team up with Applied Earthworks (A=) who will prepare the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), which includes an Area of Potential Effect (APE) Map that depicts the area impacted by the project, including staging, construction access areas, and any utility and property relocation work. The map will be plotted on an aerial photograph generated by GIS at a scale of 1"=200', with a bar scale. The map will depict the locations of any cultural resources identified in the APE.
The HPSR will summarize consultations and decisions pursuant to Section 106. It will document delineation of the APE, completion of the identification phase, completion of National Register of Historic Places eligibility, evaluation of the resources within the project APE, and, if relevant, a finding of no historic properties affected or no adverse effect with standard conditions. The HPSR will be used to request SHPO's concurrence on determinations of eligibility or ineligibility for properties within the project area of the APE to be evaluated.
Specifically, /E will prepare the necessary cultural resources assessments to satisfy the requirements of the Caltrans' Programmatic Agreement (PA) with the California State Historic Preservation Officer regarding compliance with Section 1€)6 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR Part 800, which include:
* Utilizing Caltrans' Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project that considers all direct and indirect impacts to significant cultural resources.
* Completing a records search with the Eastern Information Center (EIC). We assume the EIC records search fee will not exceed $1,000.00. The EIC office is closed and will remain closed indefinitely. However, they are accepting and processing requests via email, albeit at a muchslower pace. The current turnaround time for the EIC literature and records search is H1202(R20-00031Proposals, Contracts, & Change OrdersSCO22C)21-06S20-0003 Additional Services 2022-11-1 7.docx

Because of the limited staffing situation, this turnaround time may lengthen as a result of circumstances beyond € 's control. * Contacting the NAHC for Sacred Lands Files. The NAHC is experiencing delays in response time. The current turnaround time for the NAHC search is 6-8 weeks. AE also will assist Caltrans in contacting Tribes/individuals identified by the NAHC with local Traditional Use Areas that may have information regarding Native American cultural resources within the project vicinity.
Contact will be initiated by letter and followed by email or telephone. /E will conduct two 30- day follow-ups on behalf of Caltrans.
* In November 2020, K performed a field visit and pedestrian field reconnaissance survey of the Project area for the CEQA process. Therefore, for Caltrans and Section 106 compliance, K will only conduct a pedestrian spot-check survey of the portions of the Project where known resources were observed during the CEQA survey. For the cultural resource spot-check survey, k is not responsible for landowner permissions and access to the Project area. For the purposes of this price estimate, we assume no subsurface testing and no cultural resources requiring documentation or evaluation are present in the Project area.
The portions of the Project along Avenue 48 east of Van Buren and Dillon Road traverse the Cabazon Indian Reservation and the Twenty-Nine Palms Reservation. If right-of-way (ROW) acquisition is required for the Project, extending the Project beyond the existing road ROW, k will need to obtain authorization from the u.s. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to conduct surveys on tribal lands. If the Cabazon and Twenty-Nine Palms tribes wish to accompany k during the survey on tribal lands, A assumes they will contract directly with the CVAG. This price estimate excludes time to consult with BIA or obtain authorization from the Tribes and BIA to survey because no ROW acquisition is anticipated.
* Assumes no archaeological resources requiring documentation or evaluation will be identified in the APE. AE assumes all built-environment resources within the project area have either been determined ineligible for the NRHP with SHPO concurrence, are outside of the vertical APE, or are exempt from evaluation under the Caltrans PA. Therefore, for the purposes of this proposal, we assume only a single page site record updates to the existing California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms for the six built-environment resources. If additional cultural resources are encountered during € 's fieldwork, then a contract amendment will be necessary and Project costs will increase in accordance with the size and complexity of each resource. @ Prepare an APE Map, an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), and a Historic Properties Survey Report (HPSR) to the standards outlined in the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Volume 2, Cultural Resources. Based on our assumptions above regarding builtenvironment eligibility, A: assumes a Historic Resources Eva(uation Report (HRER) will not be required for the project. /E assumes two rounds of comments will need to be addressed following review of each submittal to Caltrans. € 's draft and revised reports will be submitted electronically in MS Word format for ease of review; the final report will be submitted electronically as a PDF file. Our price estimate assumes no hard copies of the draft and revised draft reports, and no more than a total of two (2) hard copies of the final report will be required - one each for Caltrans and the EIC.
Deliverables:
* One (1) completed HPSR package

This analysis will determine if the project would result in minimal or significant encroachment on the base floodplain and if the project is consistent with the existing watershed and floodplain management programs. The study will include but not be limited to the following:
* National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps of information developed by the highway agency. * Evaluation and discussion of the practicability of alternatives to and longitudinal encroachments. * Discussion of commensurate with the significance of the risk or environmental impact, for all alternatives containing encroachments and support floodplain development o The risks associated with implementation of the action o The impacts on natural and beneficial flood-plain values o The support of probably incompatible flood-plain development o The measures to minimize flood-plain impacts associated with the action o The measures to restore and preserve the natural and beneficial floodplain values impacted by the action.
* Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report
WEBB will incorporate revisions from one round of comments from the CVAG prior to finalization and submittal to Caltrans for approval.
Based on recent experience, WEBB believes the preparation of a Water Quality Assessment Report (WQAR) may be required by Caltrans as part of the NEPA process. Therefore, WEBB has included preparation of a WQAR utilizing the current template from Caltrans. The WQAR includes a discussion of the proposed project, the general environmental setting of the project area, and the regulatory framework with respect to water quality. It also provides data on surface water and groundwater resources within the project area and their water quality health, describes water quality impairments and beneficial uses, identifies potential water quality impacts/benefits associated with the proposed project, and recommends avoidance and/or minimization measures for potentially adverse impacts. Information from the Location Hydraulic Study will also be included in the WQAR, as applicable. Revisions to one round of CVAG comments will be incorporated before finalizing the WQAR and submitting to Caltrans for approval.
