CITY OF COACHELLA
CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 1
August 13, 2026
Andrew Simmons, PE, City Engineer
City of Coachella
53462 Enterprise Way
Coachella, CA 92236
RE: PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES — CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138
Mr. Simmons,
Grapefruit Boulevard and Avenue 54 carry traffic at posted speeds of 50 mph through the heart of Coachella with virtually no continuous walking or biking facilities. Connect Coachella is the opportunity to transform these corridors into a safe, recognizable active-transportation spine, linking CV Link, the Arts and Music Line, schools, transit, parks, Tribal communities, and downtown Coachella into a connected network that serves residents every day.
Enclosed is Albert A. Webb Associates’ (WEBB) proposal to deliver final Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimates (PS&E) for City Project No. ST-138. WEBB will inherit the 50% design files, reconcile them against current field conditions, and carry the project through 60%, 100%, final Mylar submittals, bidding support, construction support, and record drawings, all within the City’s 18-month schedule from Notice of Award. We offer three core strengths that make us the right partner for this effort:
1. Field-Verified Design, Not Inherited Assumptions
WEBB will reconcile the 50% CAD files, the RFP, any issued addenda, ATP application commitments, current topographic survey, right-of-way records, and utility records into a single City-confirmed basis of design before advancing any plan sheets. Field reconnaissance has already identified conditions that must be resolved during design rather than during construction: 92kV IID transmission lines, an active Kinder Morgan oil line, Williams Communications fiber, and 24-inch culverts near the proposed Grapefruit Boulevard/Avenue 54 signal; power poles measured roughly 13 feet from the edge of pavement on Avenue 54 against the Caltrans Highway Design Manual 20-foot clear recovery zone; and a finding that the 12-foot Class I trail shown between Grapefruit Boulevard and Polk Street is not feasible as drawn, with practical alternatives already developed for City review. Resolving these issues at the design table protects the City’s budget, schedule, and ATP-funded delivery commitments.
2. Direct Experience with the Grapefruit Boulevard/Avenue 54 Signal WEBB designed a nearly identical configuration at Case Road and Ellis Road in the City of Perris, including a new traffic signal, upgraded railroad crossing, pedestrian and bicycle crossing, signal preemption timing, and utility relocations, coordinating with CPUC, SCRRA, the City, and utility owners. Those improvements are in construction and expected to complete by the end of 2026.
WEBB also coordinated with UPRR on the Arts and Music Line. No other team brings this level of directly applicable railroad-adjacent signal experience to this specific intersection.
3. Deep Coachella Valley Fluency and a Single In-House Multidisciplinary Team WEBB has served public agency clients in the region for decades. For CVAG, WEBB delivered the Arts and Music Line: approximately 15 miles of enhanced bikeways across La Quinta, Indio, Coachella, unincorporated Riverside County, and tribal lands, including 9 miles of protected Class I and Class IV facilities and connections to CV Link, with WEBB helping secure $36 million in ATP grant funds.
WEBB also authored the Active Transportation Design Guidelines for Coachella Valley cities and holds working relationships with IID, Coachella Water Authority, and CVAG’s CV Sync signal coordination program. Civil, traffic and signal, survey and right-of-way, landscape architecture, lighting, and construction support all sit under one roof, shortening decision cycles and eliminating the coordination gaps that put schedules at risk.

WEBB’s Experience Performing Similar Work
WEBB brings direct relevant experience designing complex transportation, active-transportation, utility, and public-realm improvements throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California. At the Case Road and Ellis Road Intersection, WEBB integrated a new traffic signal, railroad-crossing improvements, roadway widening, pedestrian and bicycle rail crossings, utility relocations, and signal-to-railroad preemption through coordination with CPUC, SCRRA, the City of Perris, property owners, and utility agencies, closely paralleling the challenges at Grapefruit Boulevard and Avenue 54. The Arts and Music Line demonstrates WEBB’s experience designing Class I, Class II, and Class IV facilities while coordinating school access, CV Link connections, drainage, utilities, right-of-way, environmental requirements, and PS&E across multiple jurisdictions. Through the Avenue 50 and Avenue 52 Widening Improvements, WEBB prepared engineered plans that integrated roadway widening, multimodal facilities, drainage, driveways, striping, and extensive utility coordination within active Coachella Valley corridors. The Madison Street Improvements provide applicable experience with alignment alternatives, roundabout feasibility, right-of-way coordination, and early investigation of utility rights that helped avoid costly relocations. The Civic Center Storm Drain and Oasis Street Beautification demonstrate WEBB’s ability to coordinate transportation, drainage, landscaping, pedestrian improvements, and streetscape features as one constructable system. WEBB’s ongoing work on the Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion also provides current familiarity with City Staff, standards, review expectations, and community priorities. Taken together, these experiences enable WEBB to anticipate field conflicts, coordinate effectively with agencies and utility providers, and prepare complete plans that reduce construction uncertainty.
Experience with Government Agencies and Private Entities WEBB has an established working relationship with the full range of public agencies and private entities that typically hold jurisdiction over projects of this type in the Coachella Valley, and we routinely navigate their approval, permitting, and funding requirements.
Local and regional agency experience includes:
• City of Coachella — currently delivering the Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion and Urban Greening projects
• Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) — the Arts and Music Line and La Quinta Evacuation Channel
• Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) — an extensive portfolio of water, sewer, stormwater, and drainage projects (e.g., the Eastern Coachella Valley Stormwater Master Plan and EIR and North Indio Channel)
• Neighboring Cities — Indio, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, and others, on street, drainage, traffic-signal, and pedestrian/bicycle safety improvements This work has required close coordination with Caltrans (state highway and encroachment approvals), state and regional transportation and funding bodies such as Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and CVAG, and utility purveyors, including CVWD and dry utilities, for utility coordination and relocation. Our environmental team regularly leads projects through the CEQA process, preparing EIRs, Mitigated Negative Declarations, and supporting documentation, and coordinating with resource and regulatory agencies as needed.
Our specialized competence spans the disciplines directly relevant to this RFP: civil and roadway design engineering, active transportation and complete-streets design, traffic engineering and traffic studies, drainage and storm drain design, water quality management planning, land survey and mapping, landscape architecture, and construction management. We also have specific experience preparing and delivering grant-funded improvements (e.g., Highway Safety Improvement Program and Measure J projects), positioning us to help the City meet the documentation and compliance requirements associated with external funding.

ARTS AND MUSIC LINE
Coachella Valley Association of Governments
WEBB is currently collaborating with CVAG on the Arts and Music Line Project, a project aimed at delivering approximately 15 miles of enhanced bikeways across La Quinta, Indio, Coachella, a portion of unincorporated Riverside County, and tribal lands. This endeavor encompasses creating nine miles of protected Class I and Class IV bicycle facilities, effectively separating bicycles and golf carts from motor vehicle traffic. It incorporates over six miles of traditional Class II bike lanes and Class III shared bikeways. A key aspect of the project is establishing bikeway connections to 11 disadvantaged schools, along with connecting to CV Link via the La Quinta Evacuation Channel from Avenue 48 to the Whitewater Channel, located north of Highway 111 and east of Jefferson Street. WEBB played a crucial role in securing $36 million in ATP Grant funds for CVAG. Our team was responsible for preparing preliminary designs, environmental documentation for CEQA, and the development of the PS&E package at 65% and 90–100% plan stages on schedule. WEBB worked on NEPA compliance, and has been doing utility coordination, drainage studies, right-of-way management, and final design. WEBB's innovative proposal introduces cutting-edge elements, such as bicycle signals with comprehensive protection for bicycle movements, raised or recessed bike/pedestrian crossings, bicycle signal indicators to notify cyclists of traffic signal status, as well as artistic lighting and colored concrete. It also features bridge undercrossing bike paths and connections to CV Link and the Coachella Festival grounds. This project is set to be a remarkable effort, not only within the local community, but also on a state and national scale. CVAG challenged our design team to make the project appealing, creative, and innovative to attract riders. Our response to this challenge involved incorporating visually pleasing elements like patterned pavement coatings, programmable lighting, and sound features throughout the project corridor. Throughout the process, WEBB remains committed to the project schedule and accommodates any additional project requirements and needs. Furthermore, WEBB has developed the Active Transportation Design Guidelines for the Coachella Valley Cities, ensuring a consistent approach to design and facility standards across various jurisdictions.

CIVIC CENTER STORM DRAIN PROJECT AND OASIS STREET
BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT
City of Indio
WEBB supported the City of Indio with the Civic Center Storm Drain and Oasis Street Beautification Project, a downtown infrastructure improvement that combined drainage, complete streets, bicycle and pedestrian mobility, ADA accessibility, and streetscape beautification into one coordinated public works investment. The project addressed long-standing flooding issues in the Civic Center/Downtown area while improving the safety, function, and appearance of key corridors serving residents, businesses, civic facilities, and visitors.The project began as a storm drain solution for a flood-prone area with flat grades, limited conveyance, and recurring ponding during storm events. WEBB prepared storm drain and street improvement plans that incorporated new storm drain pipes, catch basins, laterals, pretreatment systems, underground retention, rain gardens, and drainage swales. These improvements were designed to capture, treat, store, and infiltrate stormwater within a constrained urban setting, improving drainage performance, supporting groundwater recharge, enhancing water quality, and reducing nuisance flooding. As the project advanced, the City used the underground drainage work as the foundation for a broader complete street improvement. Rather than restoring the roadway surface to its previous condition, the project expanded to include improvements along Oasis Street and nearby downtown corridors, including curb extensions, curb ramps, enhanced pedestrian crossings, signing and striping, bicycle improvements, traffic calming features, street lighting, landscape and irrigation, rain gardens, and urban greening. These complete street elements improved multimodal access and created a safer, more comfortable corridor for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, transit users, and people accessing downtown businesses and civic destinations. Curb extensions and pedestrian enhancements shortened crossing distances and helped calm traffic, while bicycle improvements and updated striping supported safer circulation through the downtown area. ADA upgrades improved accessibility at intersections and along pedestrian routes, and lighting, trees, landscaping, and hardscape enhancements strengthened visibility, comfort, and corridor identity. The Civic Center Storm Drain and Oasis Street Beautification Project demonstrates how drainage and complete street improvements can be delivered together to create lasting public benefit. By pairing stormwater infrastructure with bicycle, pedestrian, accessibility, and beautification improvements, the project transformed a recurring flooding and maintenance challenge into a safer, more functional, and more attractive downtown corridor.

PLC NORTH – OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
IDI Logistics
Coordinating complex infrastructure improvements along one of Perris's most active industrial corridors required extensive planning, permitting, and agency collaboration. The PLC North project transformed approximately four miles of roadway and drainage facilities, including a new bridge, three railroad crossings, interchange upgrades, six traffic signals, and multimodal enhancements that support growing logistics activity in the region.
WEBB led the planning, design, environmental documentation, and construction management efforts to help the client meet a critical occupancy deadline. By anticipating challenges related to right-of-way acquisition, environmental clearances, and coordination with Caltrans, Metrolink, and the California Public Utilities Commission, WEBB successfully delivered the required improvements ahead of schedule. The team addressed evolving design constraints stemming from concurrent rail projects, bridge constructability issues, and funding adjustments while maintaining compliance with federal and state requirements. The final project items are expected to complete construction by the end of 2026.
The resulting infrastructure provides safer and more efficient travel for trucks, commuters, and pedestrians, improves drainage performance, and enhances connectivity to regional transportation networks. Through close coordination with the City of Perris and multiple reviewing agencies, WEBB helped advance a transformative project that supports both economic development and long-term mobility within the community.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
DURATION
2019 - Ongoing
Avenue 50 is a vital east–west corridor in the
Coachella Valley, and increasing traffic demands
created an urgent need for safer access, added
capacity, and reliable multimodal connections
within the City of Indio and its neighboring
communities. WEBB delivered roadway and
active transportation improvements that widened
approximately 2 miles of Avenue 50 from two to
four lanes while adding multi-use paths, sidewalks,
decomposed granite trails, underground drainage
basins, driveway adjustments, and updated
striping. These enhancements support long-term
mobility in Indio and improve everyday travel for
residents and visitors.
The project required extensive coordination with
the City of Indio, adjacent agencies, and multiple
utility providers to relocate and underground
existing overhead infrastructure, including more
than 40 wood power poles. This effort reduced
future utility conflicts and improved corridor
reliability. With the project located next to the
Coachella Festival fairgrounds, the upgraded
roadway will ease congestion during major
events and strengthen regional access yearround. The resulting design enhances safety, expands multimodal options, and supports the
City of Indio's vision for a modern and resilient
transportation network.

PERRIS VALLEY STORM DRAIN TRAIL,
PHASE 2
DURATION
2021 - 2023
The Perris Valley Storm Drain Channel Trail,
Phase 2, advances regional connectivity
while addressing complex engineering and
environmental challenges. The project, divided into
two segments, extends from Nuevo Road to the
Caltrans I-215 property line and continues across
the San Jacinto River to the Metrolink station. In
2023, WEBB prepared final plans, specifications,
and estimates for Segment 2, providing solutions
that balanced functional trail design with ecological
protection. A key challenge involved addressing
concerns from the Regional Conservation Authority
and wildlife agencies regarding a proposed
truss bridge’s impact on wildlife movement.
WEBB evaluated three alternative designs and
selected the Arizona Crossing as the preferred
solution, integrating engineering functionality with
environmental sensitivity. WEBB revised the trail
alignment to accommodate the Arizona Crossing,
conducted detailed field surveys along critical
sections, and completed a hydrology study to
assess pre- and post-project conditions. The team
facilitated inter-agency coordination, securing
preliminary approvals from Flood Control, Caltrans,
RCA, and wildlife agencies, and obtained a new
Caltrans Encroachment Permit. Through innovative
design strategies and careful project management,
WEBB successfully advanced the PVSD Channel
Trail, creating a safe, multi-modal route that
strengthens regional connectivity while respecting
environmental constraints.

CITY OF COACHELLA
CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 13
Project Understanding
Connect Coachella is the City’s priority investment
for transforming a high-speed, incomplete corridor
into a safe and recognizable active-transportation
spine. The project will extend the existing
downtown multimodal path along Grapefruit
Boulevard, connect to CV Link at Avenues
48 and 54 and the Arts and Music Line, and
improve access to schools, transit, employment,
parks, public services, Tribal communities, and
surrounding neighborhoods.
The ATP application establishes significant
commitments, including approximately 3.6 miles of
Class I multimodal path, 5.2 lane miles of Class II
bicycle lanes, 1.4 miles of sidewalk, 14 enhanced
crosswalks, 30 curb ramps, and approximately
64,000 square feet of landscaping. Lighting, shade,
trailheads, seating, drinking fountains, wayfinding,
bicycle amenities, public art, and other placemaking
features are also expected to function as part of one
connected and accessible system.
The project must address challenging existing
conditions. Grapefruit Boulevard and Avenue 54 are
posted at 50 mph and currently lack continuous,
comfortable facilities for walking and bicycling.
The corridor also includes drainage constraints,
railroad interfaces, major utilities, limited right-ofway, high-voltage IID facilities, traffic signals, and active roadway operations. These conditions affect
the trail alignment, Avenue 54 cross sections, the
Grapefruit Boulevard/Avenue 54 signal and railroad
crossing, the Tyler Street roundabout, the Park Lane
reconfiguration, and connections to other regional
facilities.
Although the project has advanced to
approximately 50 percent design, completing it will
require more than continuing the existing plans.
The inherited design must be verified against the
latest field conditions, survey and right-of-way
information, ATP commitments, utility records,
agency requirements, and the City’s operational and
maintenance needs. Decisions affecting utilities,
property rights, drainage, roadway geometry,
railroad facilities, and constructability must be
resolved early so they do not become costly
changes during final design or construction.
WEBB will establish a single, City-confirmed
basis of design by reconciling the latest CAD
files, RFP, and addenda, ATP application, current
survey, right-of-way information, utility records,
agency correspondence, and documented field
observations. This process will identify missing
improvements, utility conflicts, property impacts,
infeasible cross sections, and unresolved design
decisions before they affect the 60 percent plans,
quantities, cost estimate, or schedule.
Project Approach
WEBB’s approach is based on a straightforward
principle: the best way to minimize construction
problems is to identify and resolve them while the
project is still being designed. Our engineered plans
will be developed from verified field conditions,
not solely from record drawings, utility maps, or
inherited design files. The work will begin with
a disciplined validation of the existing design,
followed by early resolution of utility, right-of-way,
drainage, railroad, accessibility, and constructability issues.
Field-verified design: WEBB’s discipline leads
will review the corridor in the field with the current
plans, survey, utility information, and known project
constraints. We will compare what is shown in
the design files with observable conditions such
as pavement edges, drainage paths, driveways,
structures, utility poles, cabinets, valves, railroad
equipment, landscaping, guardrail, access points,
and adjacent development. Field findings will be
documented through photographs and an issue log
and incorporated into the project base files. This
designer-led review allows potential conflicts to
be addressed before plan details, quantities, and
construction costs are finalized.
Field verification is essential
Early utility investigation and conflict resolution:
WEBB will request updated utility information,
prepare a composite utility base map, and maintain
C. WORK PLAN

CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 14
a utility conflict matrix identifying the owner, facility, potential conflict, verification needed, responsible
party, and required resolution date. High-risk
conflicts, particularly near signal foundations,
railroad equipment, drainage improvements,
IID poles, and constrained cross sections, will
be verified through targeted potholing before
the affected design is finalized. Our established
working relationships with local utility providers
help us identify the appropriate contacts, prepare
complete requests, clarify requirements, and reduce
avoidable processing delays. Utility coordination
will begin early enough to incorporate relocations,
protection measures, service requirements, and
owner comments into the PS&E rather than leaving
them for the contractor to resolve.
Kinder Morgan Petroleum Pipeline
Early railroad coordination: Coordination with
CPUC, Union Pacific Railroad, Amtrak, and other
affected agencies will be treated as a critical-path
activity. WEBB will initiate coordination at the
beginning of design, establish agency contacts
and review procedures, and request an early
diagnostic meeting to confirm requirements for
the crossing improvements. The roadway signal,
railroad warning system, signal interconnection
and preemption, pedestrian and bicycle gates,
utilities, drainage, right-of-way, and construction
sequencing will be developed concurrently. WEBB
will prepare progressive design submittals and
maintain a railroad coordination log documenting
comments, responsibilities, decisions, and
outstanding actions. Our approach is informed by
the Arts and Music Line, where WEBB successfully
coordinated with UPRR regarding improvements
along the railroad corridor, and the Case Road
and Ellis Road Railroad Crossing, where WEBB
coordinated with CPUC and the railroad owner/
operator on crossing upgrades, signal preemption,
pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, and utility
conflicts. This experience helps WEBB anticipate
railroad requirements, prepare complete submittals,
and reduce avoidable review cycles and schedule
delays.
UPRR Railroad Crossing
Right-of-way and easement verification: WEBB
will compare the proposed improvements with
current survey, parcel, right-of-way, and easement
information at the beginning of design. Potential
needs for permanent right-of-way, utility easements,
temporary construction easements, maintenance
access, or railroad permissions will be identified
and mapped before the 60 percent design is
completed. Where feasible, the design will be
refined to reduce property impacts. When additional
rights are unavoidable, the City will receive early
exhibits and supporting information so acquisition
and coordination can proceed without delaying final
design or construction.
Integrated constructability reviews: Civil,
traffic, signal, railroad, drainage, utility, landscape, electrical, accessibility, and right-of-way elements
will be reviewed together. WEBB will check whether
the improvements can be built in the sequence
shown, whether access can be maintained,
whether utility relocations precede construction,
and whether proposed grading and drainage work
with actual site conditions. Particular attention will
be given to signal-foundation conflicts, railroad
interfaces, trail drainage, fixed-object clearances,
guardrail, driveway transitions, irrigation, lighting,
ADA improvements, traffic control, and contractor
access.
Coordinated, construction-ready PS&E:
At each milestone, WEBB will reconcile the
plans, specifications, quantities, bid items,
measurement and payment provisions, and the
engineer’s estimate. Formal interdisciplinary and
constructability reviews will be conducted before
the 60 percent, 100 percent, and final submittals,
with comments documented through closure. This
process is intended to reduce bid ambiguity, field
redesign, utility conflicts, requests for information,
change orders, and schedule disruptions during
construction.

Key Issues
1. Trail Alignment and Design
There are minimal to no existing pedestrian or
bicycle facilities in the Project area, and the
Project’s foremost goal is to provide a safe and
functional facility for those vulnerable users. Proper
placement and design of the proposed Class I
trail is imperative to the long-term success of the
Project. Grapefruit Boulevard is classified as a
Major Arterial with Bike Facilities in the City’s 2035
General Plan. While the proposed Class I trail is
not incorporated into that roadway classification,
adequate cross-sectional width should be provided
to ensure Grapefruit Boulevard can be eventually
widened to its ultimate 6-lane configuration. The
Class I trail should also be designed to seamlessly
integrate with future widening plans, including trail
elevation and slope. However, there are challenges
with simply placing the Class I trail at the proposed
ultimate location. Existing topography and drainage
patterns may have the trail placed in a low-lying
area where it could be difficult to maintain due to
erosion and soil transport. Proposed ultimate trail
elevations may require steepened slopes and a
potential need for erosion control measures. Sheet
flows may also gradually erode the soil adjacent to
the Class I trail and cause undermining and damage
to the trail. For this Project, the Class I trail should be placed at the ultimate location only if there are
no significant issues with low-lying areas or grading.
Where necessary, the trail should be designed
with erosion control measures in mind to prevent
undermining and reduce maintenance. WEBB has
the in-house expertise to collect field topography,
analyze drainage patterns, identify ultimate
alignments, and design a safe and sustainable trail.
\
Existing swale and utilities in trail alignment
2. Grapefruit Boulevard/Avenue 54 Traffic Signal
and Railroad Crossing
The intersection of Grapefruit Boulevard and
Avenue 54 will be the most complex design task of
this Project. The intersection is to be outfitted with
a new six- or eight-phase traffic signal that includes
channelized right-turn lanes for the Grapefruit
Boulevard approaches. The existing Union Pacific
railroad tracks lie approximately 190’ to the east
of the intersection and have frequent freight and
passenger rail traffic. This close proximity requires
close coordination with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Union Pacific, and Amtrak.
CPUC handles railroad crossing construction and
maintenance throughout the state, while Union
Pacific is the track and right-of-way owner. Amtrak’s
Sunset Limited rail service line also operates on the
tracks. Coordination with these stakeholders will
need to occur early and often to keep all parties
notified of Project status, plan submittals, and
design conflicts.
The traffic signal will need to be designed
concurrently with railroad crossing improvements. It
is expected that the CPUC will require the existing
railroad crossing equipment to be upgraded to the
latest standards with the Project. The traffic signal
will need to be interconnected with the railroad
crossing cabinet and be programmed to meet
the latest Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
and CPUC requirements for crossing safety and
operations.
A field review conducted in July 2026 identified
several existing overhead and underground utilities
in the vicinity of the proposed traffic signal and
existing railroad crossing. These utilities include
overhead 92kV Imperial Irrigation District (IID)
transmission lines, IID distribution lines, 24-inch
culverts, an active Kinder Morgan oil line, a Williams
Communications fiber-optic line, a high pressure
gas line, sewer, water, and telecom. The significant
number of traffic signal poles and railroad
crossing appurtenances required for the Project
improvements will require thorough utility research
and utility potholing during design. While some
utilities may be relocated, it is preferable to identify clear, acceptable locations for pole foundations.

CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 16
Utilities near UPRR crossing
Fortunately, WEBB has completed the design of
a nearly identical intersection at the intersection
of Case Road and Ellis Road in the City of Perris.
The intersection work included a new traffic signal,
an upgraded railroad crossing, roadway widening
improvements, pedestrian and bicycle railroad
crossings, and utility relocations. The intersection
has a similar skew and geometry, including a nearby
railroad crossing. Work on this intersection included
coordination with CPUC, Southern California
Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), the City of Perris,
nearby property owners, and utility agencies.
The signal also includes direct coordination with
the adjacent railroad crossing controller and
the preparation of railroad preemption timing
calculations. The improvements in Perris are under
construction and are expected to be completed by
the end of 2026. WEBB’s direct experience with this
type of intersection improvement will greatly benefit
the Project’s timeline, budget, and impact. Please
see Appendix D for a comparison between the two
projects.
3. Utility Conflicts along Avenue 54
Avenue 54 between Frederick Street and Harrison
Street is proposed to be widened to accommodate
new Class II buffered bike lanes. However, the
nearby wood power poles and accompanying
guardrail installations may conflict with the
proposed improvements. The Caltrans Highway
Design Manual (HDM) specifies a minimum of 20’ of
clear recovery zone for conventional highways with
posted speeds greater than 35 mph. This means
that there should be at least a 20’ distance between
the edge of the traveled way and the face of a fixed
object for safety purposes. Measurements during
a recent field review determined that the existing
poles are approximately 13’ from the edge of the
pavement on Avenue 54. The poles are within the
clear recovery zone, but are currently shielded by
small sections of diagonally-aligned guardrail. The
Project’s proposed roadway width is 40,’ which
brings the edge of pavement nearly adjacent to the
power poles and provides only 8’ of clear distance
between the edge of vehicular travel way and the
poles. This leaves no room for any type of guardrail
installation, as guardrail generally requires at least
18” from the back of the guardrail post to the face
of the fixed object.
Existing power pole and guardrail
WEBB’s solution for these utility pole conflicts is
to reduce the width of the proposed roadway to
make room for a safety-enhancing guardrail at each
affected power pole location. It appears that only
a few feet of space will be needed. Reducing the
travel lanes to 11’ instead of 12’ and reducing one
or both of the bike lane buffers should be adequate.
This revision would allow the power poles to be
property shielded with guardrail while maintaining
buffered bicycle lanes. Other alternatives such as
relocating the power poles or widening the south
side of Avenue 54 would add significant cost and
right-of-way impacts to the Project and are not
currently recommended.
The proposed 12’ Class I trail on Avenue 54 from
Grapefruit Boulevard to Polk Street also appears to
have conflicts with the existing wood power poles.
In addition, these poles support 92kV transmission
lines which can be prohibitively expensive to
relocate. A recent field measurement revealed that
the existing poles are approximately 9’ to 10’ from
the existing back of curb. The proposed Class I trail
is shown to be curb adjacent which brings the trail
in direct conflict with the power poles. The HDM
has a minimum width of 8’ for Class I trails with 10’
of width being preferred. The HDM also requires
a 2’ shoulder and a 2’ minimum clearance to
obstructions. Furthermore, the minimum separation
between the Class I trail and the edge of vehicular
travel way is 5’. As currently shown in the RFP, the
12’ Class I trail between Grapefruit Boulevard and
Polk Street is not feasible.
Item 11.
CITY OF COACHELLA
CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 17
10’ measurement from pole to curb
Potential solutions that do not involve the relocation
of the existing power poles would significantly
change the proposed cross section of the street.
One alternative is to replace the Class I trail in
this area with a sidewalk and install Class II bike
lanes in the street. This would require the removal
of a westbound travel lane. Bicycles traveling
westbound could utilize a ramp located near the
railroad crossing to access the proposed pedestrian
and bicycle railroad crossing gates. This solution
would preserve the existing curb and median
locations while providing both pedestrian and
bicycle facilities. However, vehicular capacity would
be reduced.
A second alternative requires the removal and
reconstruction of existing curb improvements.
Reconstructing the curb approximately 10’ to the
south would provide enough clearance for the 12’
Class I trail and its required shoulders and roadway
spacing. Landscaping can be installed between the
road and the trail to provide physical separation.
Similar to the previously discussed alternative, a
westbound vehicle lane would be removed and
roadway capacity will be reduced.
Finally, the eastern-most segment of the Avenue 54
improvements proposes a 12’ Class I trail adjacent
to the westbound travel lane. Fortunately, there is
a substantial amount of landscaped area in this
segment that can be relocated between the street
and the Class I trail. This reconfiguration may
also provide improved Class I trail alignment with
the ramp from the CV Link mainline. Please see
Appendix E for potential project layout revisions.

WEBB’s in-house field survey and base mapping
team will conduct a thorough survey of the project
extents to aid the City in meeting the project’s
goals.
• Field locate and recover an existing
benchmark and establish a survey datum for
the project. Vertical datum shall be based
on the North American Vertical Datum of
1988 (NAVD88), and Horizontal control will
be North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83)
State Plane Coordinates, Zone VI, unless
otherwise requested.
• Conduct a field topographic survey of project
limits to obtain existing ground surface
elevations along Grapefruit Boulevard,
extending approximately 40 feet beyond the
edge of pavement on the east side of the
street. In addition, the survey will include
Avenue 54, where roadway widening and

vaults, overhead utility lines (near potential
conflicting improvements), walls, fence,
landscaped areas, streetlights, and utility
poles. Intersections that require curb ramp
improvements, roundabout improvements,
lane reconfigurations, trail amenities, and
median construction will undergo a thorough
topographic survey to obtain all features and
elevations needed for design.
• Provide a minimum 1” = 40’ scale digital
topographic survey of the project areas with
one-foot contours.
• Process and draft field survey data and
prepare electronic CAD files for the existing
ground features (FT) file, Civil 3D existing
ground surface (TO) file, and existing plan
(XP) file for design teams’ use.
In areas where only signing and striping
improvements are proposed, field topography is
not needed. These areas will be added to the CAD
existing plan (XP) file using the latest scaled and
geolocated Nearmap aerial images.
▶ 2.2 R/W Research and Basemap

• Utilizing available record data obtained from
public records research, together with copies
of deeds/right-of-way dedications provided
by the City of Coachella and County of
Riverside, analyze and map the right-of-way
lines for the project alignment and compare
the measured right-of-way distances to
record distances to ensure reasonable
horizontal control (if record distances are not
available, measured distances to the adjacent
record monuments will be shown).
• Prepare a base map delineating existing
right-of-way lines obtained from our records
research, field survey data, and documents
provided. Documents used to establish
property/right-of-way lines will be noted.

locations, existing conditions, traffic and user
patterns, and unforeseen conditions. The team will
take photos, record video, take measurements, and
take notes as needed for reference during design.
Any obvious maintenance or unsafe conditions
identified in the field during the review will be
communicated to the City.
TASK 3. GEOTECHNICAL SURVEY
Our geotechnical subconsultant will perform the
following tasks as part of their geotechnical analysis
for the Connect Coachella Project:
• Prepare and submit a boring location plan for
City review and approval.
• Mark the boring locations and notify
Underground Surface Alert of Southern
California to mark any subsurface utility
locations near our proposed excavation
locations. Additionally, the civil engineer
should provide plans depicting the locations
of all utilities in the project area.
• Prepare and submit a no-fee encroachment
permit for the work.
• Hire a traffic control subcontractor to provide
manned traffic control during drilling.
• Excavate six (6) borings with percolation
tests along the Grapefruit Boulevard trail and
amenity areas, three (3) borings at the Tyler
Street roundabout area, and four (4) borings
along Avenue 54 in the street widening
areas. In addition, five (5) soil samples will
be collected in the proposed landscaped
areas to aid in landscape planting
determination. Measure the thickness of the
asphaltic concrete and aggregate base and
photograph pavement conditions. Borings
will be logged in accordance with USCS
criteria. Excavations will be backfilled with
native soil upon completion and capped with
asphalt cold patch within the roadway.
• Perform laboratory testing, which is
anticipated to simulate conditions
encountered during the investigation with
respect to the proposed improvements.
• Prepare a geotechnical report for the
project, providing the core and boring logs,
a plan depicting the geologic conditions
encountered and boring locations, laboratory
test results, recommendations for pavement
sections, subgrade preparation, earthwork

TASK 4. UTILITY RESEARCH AND
COORDINATION
▶ 4.1 Utility Research and Mapping
Record request forms will be sent to all utility
owners requesting as-built facilities and available
record drawings. Additional research will be
performed with the City, IID, SoCalGas, Kinder
Morgan, and telecom providers to identify the
locations and potential existence of public and
private utility facilities within the project limits. This will include water and sewer facilities, electrical
distribution lines and poles, gas lines, and
communication infrastructure.
Upon compiling as-built information from utility
owners, we will conduct a site visit to identify all
existing improvements shown on the as-builts to
verify their accuracy and note facilities such as
manholes and valves identified in the as-built plans
but not visible in the field. These conditions will be
flagged and sent to our project survey team.
We will utilize as-built data and maps obtained from
the utility companies to prepare existing utility base
mapping and identify all utilities on the plans within
the project limits. The utility mapping developed
for the PS&E will be verified through topographic
surveys.
▶ 4.2 Utility Service Coordination
We will coordinate with IID and Coachella Water
Authority to provide new electrical service locations
for the two new traffic signals and to provide
irrigation and water service points for the Project’s
landscaping and trail amenity improvements.
as needed. This includes coordination with
these agencies to notify them of improvements,
preparation of agency forms and electronic files,
and finalizing work orders and service locations.
▶ 4.3 Utility Conflict Coordination
We will perform the typical “ABC” process of utility
letters, which includes:
• Utility “A” Letter: Record request forms will
be sent to each utility to request as-built
mapping of their facilities as discussed in
Task 4.1 above.
• Utility “B” Letter: Maps showing the utility
mapping and the proposed improvements
Item 11.
CITY OF COACHELLA
CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 20
will be sent to the utility companies for
verification.
• Utility “C” Letter: Final plans, along with a
letter, will be sent to the utility companies
showing the existing utilities and the final
design.
We will call the utility companies as needed until
we receive a written response from each potentially
conflicting utility. We will identify all known utilities that potentially conflict with the planned project
improvements and determine special requirements
for facilities, including protection, relocation, rightof-way easements, and construction constraints.
We will coordinate with utility companies to
schedule utility relocations before the start of
construction, where feasible, and to sequence
relocations with the City’s construction phasing.
▶ 4.4 Utility Potholing
Potholing will be performed to locate utilities that
may pose conflicts in high-risk areas, including
where traffic signal pole foundations and multiuse paths are proposed. We have retained an underground investigation subconsultant to
determine the depths, material types, and sizes
of known critical facilities. Upon completion of all
pothole services, the project survey team will be
notified to field- survey each potholed location. It
is assumed that a maximum of approximately 30
potholes, distributed at critical conflict locations
along Grapefruit Boulevard and Avenue 54, will be
performed for this project and are included in the
scope of work; this assumption can be refined in
coordination with the City during design.

TASK 5. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
▶ 5.1 Alignment and Feasibility Analysis
WEBB will review the field topo, right-of-way
locations, existing utility information, trail and
improvement sizing and separation requirements,
and City input to determine a preferred alignment
for the Class I trail along Grapefruit Boulevard and
Avenue 54. WEBB will also use that information to
confirm the intersection improvements, including
the Tyler Street roundabout sizing and location.
A conceptual layout will be prepared showing the
field topo information, existing right-of-way, existing utilities, and proposed trail lighting and landscaping
improvements. Cross sections will be provided for
key areas. The layout will include roadway widening
areas, intersection improvements, the Class I trail
alignment, and railroad crossing geometrics.
▶ 5.2 Architectural Renderings
Renderings of the proposed improvements will
be prepared based on the conceptual layout and
will be included in the conceptual layout package.
Renderings shall be in color and include trail
improvements, landscaping, and trail amenities.

1”=40’ scale with details at 1”=10’ or 1”=5’ scale as
needed. Existing features and utilities will be shown
in gray while proposed improvements will be shown
in black. Callouts for items to be protected in place,
relocated, salvaged, or removed will be provided.
Dimensions will be provided throughout the extents
of improvements and at key locations. The planset
will include a title sheet, general notes, construction notes, cross-section details at key locations,
demolition plans, improvement plans, and detail
sheets. Trail plans may include a profile along the
length of the improvements if deemed necessary.
Design details for all ADA curb ramps, driveways,
and key locations will be provided and include
elevations, grades, and tie-in points. Grading areas
will be shown with slope elevations and grades.
Roadway centerline and top-of-curb profiles will be
provided for all roadway improvement areas.
The roadway improvement plans will include four
primary locations. The Grapefruit Boulevard Class I
trail will include trail design, grading details, lighting locations, amenity and hardscape locations, ramps,
Item 11.
CITY OF COACHELLA
CONNECT COACHELLA CITY PROJECT NO. ST-138 21
and other features necessary for a safe, continuous
corridor. The Park Lane reconfiguration will include
demolition of existing pavement and hardscape
along with expansion of hardscape and inclusion of
trail improvements.
The Tyler Street roundabout will include careful
design of drainage and ADA paths of travel along
with considerations for vehicular traffic. It is
assumed that the provided geometric layout for
the Tyler Street roundabout have been analyzed
with a fastest path analysis to determine proper
deflection, radii, and other design alignments. If it
is determined that the roundabout has not been
analyzed appropriately or has geometric errors,
a separate scope and budget will be prepared to
conduct a full and proper analysis to finalize the
geometric layout.
Avenue 54 roadway widening areas will include
match pavement designs to extend the edge of
pavement to the necessary width. More importantly,
design and material recommendations for power
pole shielding will be provided using the latest
HDM requirements and Caltrans Standard Plans.
Shielding length, type, and sizing will be calculated
based on Caltrans methodologies. Curb ramp
construction details and sidewalk designs will be
provided where needed.
▶ 6.2 Traffic Signal Modification Plans (6
Locations)
There are six (6) identified locations for traffic signal modifications: Grapefruit/Avenue 48, Grapefruit/
Avenue 49, Grapefruit/Gateway Center, Grapefruit/
Park Lane, Grapefruit/Sunset Drive, and Avenue
54/Harrison. These locations appear to need
minor traffic signal modifications, including new
crosswalks, pedestrian signal heads, pedestrian
audible push buttons, push-button posts, and minor
signal timing revisions. Changes are not expected
for existing signal phasing, signal poles, signal
controller equipment, signal timing, or other nontrail-related improvements.
Traffic signal modification plans are to be at
1”=20’ scale and show the entire intersection, pole
locations, conduit runs, equipment locations, pole
schedule, conductor schedule, and applicable
construction notes. It is expected that the
modifications to the traffic signals will be related
only to the adjacent trail improvements. The design
of other unrelated items such as CCTV cameras,
V2X controllers, interconnect, and signal head
backplates are not included in this scope. Plans to
be prepared in accordance with the latest Caltrans
Standard Plans and Specifications, CAMUTCD
standards, and City requirements. Signal timing
sheet modifications will utilize the existing signal
timing sheets. Signal timing changes will be
coordinated with CVAG to ensure compatibility
with the existing CV Sync traffic signal coordination
project.
▶ 6.3 Signing and Striping Plans
Signing and striping plans shall be prepared in a
1” = 40’ scale format and will show existing and
proposed striping, pavement legends, sign types
and locations, and all other ancillary details. Bicycle improvements will be incorporated to provide
smooth transitions between differing bicycle facility
types. The corridor improvements will also be
analyzed to determine if additional warning signage
is needed for driveways. The signing & striping
plans will conform with Caltrans Standard Plans and
Specifications, CAMUTCD standards, and the City’s
requirements.
▶ 6.4 Avenue 54/Polk Street New Traffic Signal
A new traffic signal is expected to be required at
the intersection of Avenue 54/Polk Street. Traffic
signal plans are to be at 1”=20’ scale and show the
entire intersection, pole locations, conduit runs,
equipment locations, pole schedule, conductor
schedule, and applicable construction notes.
Bicycle phasing may be included in the plans.
Plans to be prepared in accordance with the
latest Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications,
CAMUTCD standards, and City requirements.
Signal timing sheets will be prepared and will
assume free, uncoordinated operation.
▶ 6.5 Grapefruit/Ave 54 New Traffic Signal and
RR Crossing
A new traffic signal is expected to be required at
the intersection of Grapefruit/Avenue 54 adjacent
to the UPRR crossing. Traffic signal plans are to be
at 1”=20’ scale and show the entire intersection,
pole locations, conduit runs, equipment locations,
pole schedule, conductor schedule, and applicable
construction notes. Railroad crossing improvement
