City of Commerce
2535 Commerce Way
Commerce, CA 90040
Subject: Work Proposal for Planning, Environmental, Design & Construction Support Services for the Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project Dear Mr. Cisneros, Mr. Villaganas, and members of the TAC selection committee:

Funding from the Metro Active Transport (MAT) Program for Segment B of the Rail to River Project has accelerated the opportunity for the TAC Members (Commerce, Bell, Huntington Park, and LA County) to see results along this high-profile and much sought after active transportation corridor. Connecting Slauson Station to the Los Angeles River (LA River) and beyond into Commerce will greatly enhance transportation equity along the corridor, while also setting up for more regional connectivity into the future. The GHD team, with key teaming partner, KOA, is in full support of the City of Commerce’s (City) and TAC's goal to provide access for all types of active transportation users, including the underserved communities historically divided by deficient transportation infrastructure. Together, our team of planners, engineers, and environmental professionals are impassioned to partner with our clients to improve our communities and are eager to enhance connectivity, encourage active transportation, and work in concert with you and other project stakeholders to meet your goals for this project.

The GHD team brings the following advantages to the Randolph Corridor project:

Local, Experienced, Complete Streets Team
− A multi-disciplined in-house team of GHD professionals partnered with KOA, who is a proven partner to the City, as well as disadvantaged and small business specialty subconsultants, Geo-Advantec (Geotechnical - SBE), Guida (Survey - SBE/WBE), and SafeProbe (Potholing - DBE), bring industry-leading qualifications in active transportation to the City.

The GHD team brings the City local, recent, and relevant project delivery experience, as well as the expertise in the required disciplines needed to make this project a success. − Chris Bretall, PE (GHD) will be your project manager. Chris has over 30 years of civil/transportation engineering and project management experience, focused almost exclusively in the greater LA area, successfully leading multidisciplined teams from preliminary design and outreach through PS&E and construction delivery on complete street/ active transportation projects just like this one. Those similar engagements also included projects with multiple jurisdictions and coordination with Union Pacific (UP) and other rail stakeholders. Recent relevant experience includes Avenue 64 Complete Streets in Pasadena, Artesia Great Boulevard in Long Beach, and 710 North Stub Transitional Project in Pasadena. Other related and representative projects include the BNSF Railway facility in Commerce and the Avalon Boulevard project in Los Angeles, given the locality, active transportation work type, multi-agency delivery, multi-disciplinary scope, and concept to construction effort. − Kendra Ramsey, AICP (GHD), is a recognized expert in active transportation planning and design. She is accomplished through her role on the California Walk and Bike Technical Advisory Committee (it advises Caltrans) and has led and provided professional services on similar active transportation plan (ATP) corridor projects in Southern California and across the state, such as Shoreline Drive Realignment Project in Long Beach, Imola Avenue Corridor Complete Streets Study in Napa, and Eastside Transportation Corridor Improvement Study in Fresno.

− Carlos Velasquez, AICP (KOA) brings 15 years of proven ATP planning experience. Not only does Carlos' 15 years of experience include working and leading numerous mobility projects throughout Southern California, he recently supported the adjacent Slauson Corridor Project and other relevant projects in the local area. His work includes all elements of active transportation project development including circulation elements, transit assessments, traffic calming plans, way-finding inventory and signage plans, bicycle and pedestrian plans, as well as public outreach. − Walter Okitsu, PE, PTOE, PTP, RSP2I (KOA), has 36 years of experience. Walter has extensive experience in transportation planning and traffic design. He is responsible for a wide variety of highway, transit way, and bikeway projects which includes design for traffic signals, street lighting, signing and striping, and worksite traffic control. He collaborates with his teams to ensure the delivery of high-quality products for his clients. Walter also has field and managerial experience on traffic impact, feasibility analysis, and circulation projects. − Charles Smith, AICP, LEED AP BD+C (GHD) has over 30 years of experience. Charles is experienced in environmental impact assessment services for planning, development, and public works infrastructure projects. He has held leadership roles in project/program management, operations management, business development, and corporate programs in education/professional development. Charles' professional interests include California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)/National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, public works infrastructure, land use planning, and sustainable development. He has extensive experience managing large contracts for public agencies.

Thorough Project Understanding
− Our proposal outlines the GHD team’s detailed understanding of the Scope of Work and identifies how we will approach this unique corridor project. We have teamed with KOA, who has an established working relationship with the City and other project stakeholders, and will be an integral partner for project delivery, bringing value to the project on day one. − The project requires continual and close coordination with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which includes the cities of Commerce, Huntington Park, and Bell, along with Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, LA Metro, and UP. As the overarching agency for Segment A and Segment B of the Rail-to-River Program, as well as the lead funding agency for the Randolph Corridor MAT Grant, LA Metro will be an integral stakeholder in the project.

Additionally, given the corridor is along the UPRR right of way, it is likely that UPRR will be a stakeholder as well. − Optimal allocation of the available funding obtained through the Metro MAT Grant application will be critical, providing the local communities with the maximum number of tangible improvements, addressing safety, connectivity, equitable mobility, health, and general vitality.

Successful Budget and Schedule Compliance
GHD has a solid track record of budget and schedule compliance, both for individual projects and multi-phase improvement programs. A thoughtful predesign and environmental document delivery approach, extensive communication, equitable improvements among the TAC, and personal commitment to the overall project outcome will be vital from all partners to the overall the success of the Randolph Corridor.

every day for all of his activities,
and is deeply aware of the active
transportation potential along the
Randolph Corridor. His expertise is in
the design of bikeways and pedestrian
facilities, but he also understands
the needs for maintaining traffic
access and parking within built-out
communities. He is currently involved
with Commerce's Slauson Corridor
Improvements and Maywood's Active
Transportation Plan, two projects with
direct connections to the Randolph
Corridor. He has coordinated in the
past year with LA Metro for rail transit
projects, with UP and the California
Public Utilities Commission for
railroad grade crossings, and with the
County of Los Angeles Department
of Parks and Recreation for bike trails
along flood control channels.

KOA has extensive past experiences
working with the City of Commerce,
County of Los Angeles, City of
Huntington Park, and City of Bell.

KOA’s 37 years of experience and
reputation within the County of Los
Angeles is unmatchable. Besides the
Slauson Corridor Improvements PS&E
Project they are currently working
on, they provided ATPs for the cities
of Commerce, Maywood, and Bell

Avenue 64 was a primarily vehicle
centric roadway within minimal and
non-continuous accommodations
for non-motorized users. The wide
travel lanes resulted in traffic driving
faster than the posted speed limits.

The lack of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities and crossings resulted in
either risky behaviors undertaken by
road users, or avoidance of alternative
modes of transportation, including
transit. Along Avenue 64 there were
two key locations that presented
more challenges that other locations;
the intersections of Avenue 64 with
Burleigh Drive and with Cheviotdale
Drive. Avenue 64 and Burleigh Drive
was a skewed intersection located
on a horizontal and vertical curve
with an expansive pavement area,
reduced sight distance, and various
driveways in unideal locations, coupled
with high rates of speed and erosive
storm water runoff. The intersection of
Cheviotdale with Avenue 64 presented
similar problems with speeding,
particularly downhill, and challenged
sight distance with an uncontrolled
crosswalk across Avenue 64. Previous
attempts by the City to reduce speeds
at this location, including installation
of a speed feedback sign were not
working. Both of these intersections
needed improvements. To help provide
sustainable and lasting solutions, the
City partnered with GHD to improve
safety, improve non-motorized access,
reduce traffic speeds, and improve
drainage conditions, while minimizing
impacts to the existing adjacent
properties.

GHD worked with the City provide a
multimodal traffic calming and safety
enhancement project through the
implementation of key complete
street elements. At Burleigh Drive,
GHD designed a custom roundabout
that reduced vehicle speeds while
still providing full access to the
adjacent driveways, previously
located in the intersection, through the
implementation of a drive isle adjacent
to the residences. This design allowed
the improvements to stay completely
within the City right of way while still
accommodating property/driveway
access and provided a space for
refuse pickup, parking, and more. The
intersection also provides a unique
drainage design to help pull water off
the roadway system into a combined
above ground and underground
system. The roundabout also provided
an entrance into Pasadena through
thoughtful landscape architecture in
the central island, medians, and buffers
between the roadway and sidewalks.

At Cheviotdale a bulb out was
constructed to reduce the traveled
lanes and reinforce the slower speeds.

Additionally, a high visibility crosswalk
and beacons were installed along
with a decorative mountable median
island. Both intersections included the
installation of safety lighting as well.

GHD also worked closely with
emergency responders to ensure
their needs were met in the
ultimate conditions but also during
construction. Special modifications to
the curbs were made to accommodate
custom design vehicles at both
intersections as well.

The project is jointly funded by the
City and Los Angeles Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (Metro)
Measure M Funds. The project was able
to safely accommodate all roadway
users while reduce speeds without
compromising capacity, access, or
right of way.

The purpose of the 710 Northern Stub
Transitional Project Development is
to identify implementable near-term
transportation projects as an interim
step prior to the long-term planning the
City of Pasadena (City) must undertake
to create a lasting community driven
vision for the northern stub of 710. The
limits of the project area and proposed
improvements extend from Walnut
Street to the north, to Columbia Street
to the south. Pasadena Avenue and St.

John Avenue are the main roadways
that run north to south, as well as
east-west overcrossings and streets,
including Union Street, Colorado
Boulevard, Green Street, Del Mar
Boulevard, California Boulevard, and
others. The overall project corridor
distance is approximately 1.8 miles.

Additionally, intersections along
Colorado Boulevard at the San Ramon
SR 134 on/off ramps and Orange Grove
Boulevard are also included in the list
of improvement recommendations.

Key parameters for developing these
concepts include the premise that
near-term projects shall not preclude
future changes to land use, roadway
networks, or other community
development concepts that could be
considered as part of future long-term
planning effort.

GHD developed alternative concepts
to relinquish the roadways within
Caltrans right of way to the City
that provide near term multimodal
improvements that can be
implemented quickly to enhance safe
north/south and east/west mobility,
particularly for non-motorized users
along the Pasadena Avenue and St.

John Avenue corridors.

GHD is providing Project Approval and
Environmental Documentation (PA/
ED) services to close an existing gap
along the 66-mile regional bikeway
corridor called the Orange County
(OC) Loop. The proposed OC Loop
Segments O, P, and Q begins at the
existing Coyote Creek Bikeway (cities
of Cerritos and La Palma) where the
flood channel divides into north and
east forks, running 2.7 miles connecting
to another portion of the Coyote Creek
Bikeway at La Mirada Boulevard/
Malvern Avenue in the cities of Buena
Park and La Mirada. Several significant
engineering/construction challenges
occur along its path including:
– Two crossings of the channel with a
pre-fab pedestrian/bike bridge
– An undercrossing at Valley View
Boulevard requiring structural
design of a tieback wall adjacent
to the existing bridge abutment to
accommodate the 12-foot-wide
bikeway
– Undercrossings at Artesia and
La Mirada Boulevards requiring
structural design of a cantilevered
12-foot-wide bikeway over the
existing vertical channel wall
– Open cut construction of Firestone
Blvd. to install a precast RCB that
will house the bikeway
– Box-jack undercrossings of two
railroad corridors, a single track UP
industrial lead and a three-track
(four-track buildout) of the BNSF/
Metrolink/CAHSR (California High
Speed Rail) corridor
When completed, the project
will increase the use of active
transportation travel modes, enhance
safety and mobility for non-motorized
users, advance efforts to achieve
greenhouse gas reduction goals,
improve access and maintenance
to the flood control channel, and
enhance public health.

In addition, the proposed project is a
safety and mobility enhancement for
the County and local community.

The Broadway Corridor is the first
and largest infrastructure project
from Measure A funds and will include
improved and widened sidewalks, new
pavement, increased public real estate
at intersections, bike lanes, and a road
reconfiguration that will slow down
vehicles in what business owners and
residents alike have described as a
“speedway” for drivers desperate to
connect to Downtown or access the
710 further west.

GHD was selected to redevelop a
2-mile segment of East Broadway in
the City of Long Beach, California, to
create a multi-modal street to improve
overall mobility and the quality of life
for residents in the area. The segment
starts just east of Downtown at
Alamitos Avenue and goes east through
Alamitos Beach to Bluff Park, ending
at Redondo Avenue. In the before
project conditions, East Broadway is a
four-lane undivided roadway without
any left-turn lanes between Alamitos
Avenue and Molino Avenue and a
two-lane roadway with a two-way left
turn lane between Molino Avenue and
Redondo Avenue.

The project converts the segment
to a two-lane roadway with left-turn
lanes at each signalized intersection,
cycle tracks (on-street bicycle lanes
separated from through traffic by
parallel parking and a buffered area),
and side boarding island transit
stops (in-street raised refuge islands
dedicated to waiting and boarding
areas for transit passengers enabling
in-lane transit stops and improved
accessibility and removing transit
vehicle/bicycle conflict). This redesign
creates a complete street that will be
safe and accessible. The project also
addresses non-compliant Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) facilities and
a steep roadway cross-slope due to
abandoned/buried railroad tracks and
existing development throughout the
segment.

Some of the challenges that the team
overcame on this project included
transit facilities location, public
outreach, steep driveways, pavement
design, coordination with multiple
agencies, improve roadway profile, and
ADA compliance.

The design phase was completed
within schedule and the project was
completed in April 2019. The City of
Long Beach is very pleased with GHD’s
performance on this project.

The City of La Quinta was seeking to
improve their pedestrian and bicycle
safety with the use of roundabouts.

The goal was to transform three heavily
vehicle-dominated corridors with three
parks, an elementary school, and other
destinations into pedestrian, bicycle,
and neighborhood electric vehiclefriendly (golf carts) complete streets through the implementation of a road
diet, road repurposing, and converting
five signalized and/or stop controlled
intersections to roundabouts.

GHD identified this project as a
potential candidate for the Active
Transportation Project and was
ultimately retained to provide grant
application services. As a result,
GHD provided the preliminary costs
estimates, cost-benefit analysis,
provided the conceptual design, and
assisted with the preparation of various
Narrative Responses for the Cycle 3
Active Transportation Program grant
application. The La Quinta Village
Complete Streets, a Road Diet Project
was awarded the ATP Cycle 3 Grant
Funds.

Due to our thorough understanding
of the project and expertise in
roundabout and streetscape design,
GHD was awarded the environmental
clearance, right of way acquisition,
and design work for the project. The
GHD team’s complete understanding
of the City’s objectives, the grant
funding requirements, and having a
team of experts and an exceptional
project approach allowed us to
accelerate the schedule, resulting
in clearing environmental, finalizing
right of way acquisition and utility
coordination, delivering the final
plans, and submitting the request
for allocation for construction funds
more than one year in advance of the
original schedule outlined in the grant
application.

The project provides three complete
street corridors that included five
roundabouts, a road diet which
reduced travel lanes from four to two
to provide Class II bicycle lanes and
shared use paths as well as various
pedestrian crossing improvements.

The project also included water quality
facilities, landscaping, and areas for
future public art.

We've added a 6th project example for
GHD that is not within the past 5 years
but is very similar to the scope of work
for the Randolph Active Transportation
Plan project.

Services Provided
The intersection of Ball Road and
Sunkist Street is over capacity and
in need of improvements to increase
the level of service. Due to the close
proximity of the SR 57/Ball Road
interchange, high peak directional
volumes are common. The intersection
is near several schools and has a high
volume of pedestrian traffic as well.

GHD provided design for the widening
of the intersection to accommodate
an additional westbound thru lane and
dual southbound left turn lanes. The
additional lanes require widening all four
legs of the intersection by relocating
the curbs, narrowing the parkway width,
and in some locations taking right of
way. The relocated curbs along with
the changes to the lane configuration
require complete replacement of
the existing traffic signal. The street
widening also includes numerous utility
relocations, including water service,
electrical, and communication.

The street lights along the widened
portion of the road are relocated and
new street lights added where gaps in
the lighting coverage exist.

Along Sunkist Street the sidewalk is
separated from the curb by a planter.

The width of the planters is reduced
by the curb relocation, and new
landscaping is proposed within the
planter. Driveway aprons and curb
ramps are upgraded throughout the
project site to meet the current ADA
standards, improving pedestrian
accessibility and safety. The existing bus
stops at the intersection were upgraded
with adequate alighting areas and space
for additional bus stop amenities.

The design delivers increased
intersection capacity to improve the
intersection level of service along with
safety and accessibility improvements
for all modes of transportation.

KOA is currently providing professional
design services for the City of
Commerce for the Slauson Corridor
Improvements Project from I-5 to
I-710. Slauson Avenue is a major eastwest corridor in the Gateway Cities region from the I-5 and I-710 which
has 10 signalized intersections and
is approximately 2.8 miles. The goal
of the proposed Slauson Corridor
Improvements Project is to increase
the capacity efficiency of the street,
reduce congestion along Slauson
Avenue, and enhance connectivity
between major trip generators and
transportation facilities. The project
will also improve motorist, bicyclist,
and pedestrian safety by improving
traffic signs, street pavement,
pavement markings, and striping along
the Corridor, constructing new raised
medians and/or modifying existing
medians to provide for protected or
protected/permissive left turn lanes at
some of the signalized intersections,
improving street lighting along
the Corridor, reducing pedestrian
crossings, and eliminating uncontrolled
crosswalks.

Other improvements include bike
facilities and the incorporation of
water quality treatment throughout
the Corridor to comply with NPDES
requirements and enhancing bus stops
with bus shelters, benches, and trash
cans.

As the prime consultant, KOA is taking
the lead on preliminary concept
design, final design, and outreach
components of the project with
support from subconsultants including
survey, geotech, environmental, and
landscaping.

2019 - Ongoing
Services Provided
In 2016, the City of Long Beach applied
for an HSIP grant to improve safety and
mobility on Anaheim Street, between
Oregon Avenue and Termino Avenue. It
was evident from a thorough collision
evaluation that the project corridor
has one of the highest incidences of
collisions in the City. Vehicle left turns
and high pedestrian/bicyclist traffic
are the main collision factors, for
which three countermeasures were
previously proposed to increase safety
and mobility along the corridor. These
countermeasures suggest upgrading
traffic signals for protected left turn
phasing, constructing controlled
access medians to restrict left-turn
movements, and providing median
refuge locations in the controlled
access medians for pedestrian and
bicycle crossings. Implementing these
countermeasures would control the
left turn conflicts in the business
district and restrict the exposure of
pedestrians and bicyclists crossing
Anaheim Street.

In response, the City selected KOA,
through a competitive process, to
design conceptual and construction
plans for the countermeasures. The
project elements include plans,
specifications, and cost estimates
(PS&E), project and grant management,
records research, public outreach, and
construction assistance. Other project
team firms led by KOA are providing
land surveying services, design
services for controlled access with the
median, and landscape architecture.

KOA assisted the City to prepare plans,
specifications, and estimates (PS&E)
to implement the Foothill Boulevard
Master Plan in the City of Claremont.

The project is contained to a 2-mile
stretch along Foothill Boulevard
between Town Avenue and the City
boundary. The initial phases of the
project included a comprehensive
traffic impact study, geotechnical
investigation (including percolation
test), and hydrology study. The design
team utilized the preliminary data to
develop three concept plans including
protected intersections, Class IV
bikeway integration, bio-retention/
infiltration, and drought tolerant
landscape. The preferred alternative
included roadway improvements,
bio-retention planters, 21 drywells,
900 feet of new storm drains, Class
II & IV bicycle lanes, intersection
bulb-outs, median and parkway
landscaping/irrigation, traffic signal
modification, sidewalk improvements,
street/pedestrian lighting, and entry
monuments.

KOA led the team of consultants
throughout the design, bid, and
construction phases. In addition, KOA
provided construction management
and inspection service.

→4. Approach to Scope
of Services
A. Understanding and Approach
This section should set forth a comprehensive description of the approach to providing the Scope of Services and should clearly demonstrate an understanding of the City’s requirements, the work to be done and the objectives to be accomplished.

Project Understanding
The City of Commerce is lead agency for the Randolph
Corridor Active Transportation Project. Partnering with the cities of Bell and Huntington Park and the County of Los Angeles, Commerce was awarded $6,703,891 from the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(Metro) MAT Program Cycle 1 program. The project
extends along the Randolph Corridor beginning at the
eastern terminus in the City of Commerce and extending
west along the corridor through the stakeholder’s westerly corridor terminus; a distance of 6.83 miles.

Coordination with LA Metro on the following projects
adjacent projects in the area will be required:
− West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor
− MAT Slauson First Last Mile (FLM) Station Area
Improvements
− Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor
The project implements active transportation
improvements within the Randolph Corridor, which was
prioritized as the top-ranking regional corridor eligible for Metro Active Transport Cycle 1 Funding. The project will provide improved connectivity to the LA River and
the extensive and growing transit network (including the Slauson A-Line Station), and will improve regional access for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project will fill gaps between existing and planned high-quality bicycling
and walking facilities including the Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor project and the LA River path.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 40 Funding
As shown in the Expenditure Plan
(Attachment B) of the Measure M
Agreement MAT Funding Agreement,
$207,625 of the awarded amount of
$6,703,891 has been set aside for
design and the remaining $6,458,516
is earmarked for construction. In
order to fully implement the project,
additional funding will be required. LA
Metro is currently exploring additional
funding sources for Segment B of the
Rail to River Active Transportation
Corridor which includes the westerly
portion of the Randolph Corridor
Active Transportation Project.

Three funding programs that are
being considered are:

1. Reconnecting Communities
administered by the Federal
Department of Transportation

2. Reconnecting Communities/
Highways to Boulevards
administered by Caltrans

3. Neighborhood Access and Equity
Grant Program administered
by FHWA
All three programs have similar goals
in implementing improvements to
transportation infrastructure that
reconnects historically divided
communities.

As owners of the right of way, the
cities along the corridor can apply
for the funding grants. At this time,
this project appears to be eligible
for funding from all three of these
programs.

SLAUSON AVENUE TO MAYWOOD
AVENUE
West of Maywood Avenue, the West
Santa Ana Branch light rail transit
line is likely to occupy some of the
UPRR right of way and the local
roadway area, further constraining
the space available for a bikeway.

The conceptual design plans in the
Supplemental Analysis of LA Metro’s
Rail to River Segment B proposes
primarily Class 3 bike routes for the
western segment. In general, LA
Metro’s conceptual design plans
appear feasible for this segment.

An interim concept to install Class
II bike lanes on Randolph Street for
the period prior to construction of
the West Santa Ana Branch light
rail transit line also appears to be
generally feasible.

MAYWOOD AVENUE TO LOS

ANGELES RIVER
The light rail alignment is not
proposed along the corridor between
Maywood Avenue and the LA River,
making more roadway space available
for bike lanes, although the UPRR
right of way should be assumed
to remain unavailable. LA Metro’s
conceptual design plans show Class
II bike lanes or Class IV separated
bike lanes east of Maywood Avenue.

LA Metro’s conceptual design plans
require further refinement for the
following reasons:
− Some of the conceptual design
plan dimensions fall short of
meeting the statutorily-required
standards in the California
Highway Design Manual and the
Caltrans Design Information
Bulletin 89, particularly for lateral
bikeway widths and clearances.

As often occurs during the design
of bikeway projects, a proposed
Class IV bikeway might need to
be replaced by a pair of Class II
bikeways to satisfy the lateral
width requirements, or a proposed
pair of Class II bikeways might
need to be replaced by a Class III
bike route.
− LA Metro’s concepts at
intersections create conflicting
movements between bicyclists
and motor vehicles that need
to be resolved, especially at
intersections featuring a two-way
Class IV bikeways parallel to a twoway street.
− Coordination with UP and
the California Public Utilities
Commission is required at all
grade crossings, with the most
significant challenges being atgrade crossings with traffic signals. − LA Metro’s concept for the
connection to the LA River Trail
proposes a ramp within the UPRR
right of way on the City of Bell’s
side of the corridor, potentially
triggering the need for a higher
level of environmental clearance
such as a mitigated negative
declaration or Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). However,
a ramp already exists on the
City of Maywood’s side of the
tracks that appears to be ADAcompliant or be easily modified to become ADA-compliant.
− Modifying the conceptual design
plans to resolve the above issues
might require a change in bikeway
class, prohibition of on-street
parking, removal of a travel lane,
or re-routing to other roadways.

East of Maywood Avenue, the
opportunity to re-route the
bikeway alignment to, say, the
northern roadway of Randolph
Street, is limited by the exclusion
of the City of Maywood from the
project’s partnership.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 41 LOS ANGELES RIVER AND I-710
The project corridor is divided by the
LA River channel and the Interstate
710 Freeway. An overcrossing of the
channel and freeway is outside of the
scope of this project. Presumably a
cross-river and freeway connection
eventually will be funded and
constructed, which would ideally
be a bridge directly aligned with the
Randolph Corridor. In the interim,
bicyclists wishing to travel eastwest across the river and freeway would use either the Slauson Avenue
overcrossing to the north or the
Gage Avenue overcrossing to the
south. Both bridges provide only a
narrow sidewalk with high curb height
alongside fast and high-volume
motor vehicle traffic, which are
deterrents to active transportation.

However, they are the only options
currently available to bicyclists, short
of boarding a transit bus. A detour
to Gage Avenue requires a halfmile detour as opposed to Slauson Avenue’s one-mile detour, so the
project should include provisions
for a Class III bike route along Gage
Avenue to provide that connection.

That route passes through the City of
Bell Gardens, which is not a member
of the project’s partnership.

CITY OF COMMERCE SEGMENT
LA Metro’s Rail-to-River Segment
B will not extend into the City of
Commerce east of the LA River and
Interstate 710, and therefore no
concept plans have been developed.

Randolph Street has sufficient
pavement width to accommodate
either Class II bike lanes or Class
IV separated bike lanes through
most of the City of Commerce, but
the roadway terminates at Garfield
Avenue. East of Garfield Avenue,
an alternative bikeway route would
follow either Slauson Avenue or Gage
Avenue.

Slauson Avenue suffers from heavy
traffic congestion, especially during
peak commuter traffic hours, and
high speeds at other times. Gage
Avenue appears to be more amenable
for a bikeway but lies mostly in the
non-partnering City of Bell Gardens.

Both Slauson Avenue and Gage
Avenue converge at Interstate 5. The
optimal solution would be a bikeway
passing beneath Interstate 5 that
intersects Telegraph Avenue and the
Rio Hondo Bike Trail to the east, but
the feasibility of such a bikeway is
dependent on either removing traffic
lanes, further aggravating congestion,
or obtaining right of way from UP.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 46 Approach
This project has a lot of moving parts and deliverables to be created in a relatively short timeframe. Frequent and effective communication between the City and consultant is therefore a must. GHD will meet with City staff on a bi-weekly basis and produce monthly progress reports
as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). However, we expect to supplement these scheduled contact points with emails and telephone calls to address minor issues that might otherwise delay work on the technical tasks. The
overall goal of frequent communication is to ensure that the draft deliverables in the technical tasks are as close as possible to what the City envisions for the final product, thus saving time in the City’s review and minimizing rework.

1. Prioritization of project elements by each jurisdiction

2. Comparison of project elements to the priorities
developed by the Rail-to-River Segment B project

3. Potential adjustments to project elements based on
both the nexus of the projects as well as for continuity from jurisdiction to jurisdiction

4. Prior to final design, the jurisdictions will identify a set of improvements, based on an estimate of quantities that
align with the funding availability for each jurisdiction Developing a plan to implement the vision for this project will require a multidisciplinary team that understands
multi-modal transportation. Such a plan will require public and stakeholder engagement, technical assessment,
regulatory framing, and environmental clearance. The
Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project will
provide viable multimodal improvements that can be
implemented by capitalizing on the opportunity to improve east/west transportation for residents, workers, and
visitors.

Public Outreach
Transportation planning and design should be done not just with the end users in mind, but with their input beginning during the initial development stage. It is particularly relevant in this case, due to the possible effects that development of the Randolph Corridor may have on their
community. This will be especially true in this study for the residential neighborhoods. GHD can facilitate a hybrid inperson and virtual strategy that facilitates the widest and most diverse engagement reach. These will be advertised on social media and encouraged to be shared among
neighborhood groups and stakeholders.

The RFP calls for six (6) public meetings. GHD frequently makes use of online interactive tools that allow
stakeholders to provide input on intuitive maps. Online engagement may be critical to ensuring the public have
time to register their concerns given the limited window for outreach.

GHD will make use of our talented visualization staff to ensure that our presentation material not only conveys
the information but does so in a way that engages the
public and promotes buy-in. Our internal visualization
team works alongside transportation design and planning staff regularly, ensuring critical elements of infrastructure design are accurately portrayed in approachable publicfacing renderings.

Our visualization team works alongside transportation design and planning staff regularly, ensuring critical elements of infrastructure design are accurately portrayed in approachable public-facing renderings.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 47 Project Development
This task is the heart of the study and will be the focus of our team’s technical and creative efforts. Based on our extensive experience in multimodal corridor planning and design, and the information gleaned from prior work in the area, we will prepare conceptual layouts and sections for improvements for the areas listed in the RFP. Our efforts will refine the concepts previously explored and develop options that balance competing trade-offs within the
available rights-of-way and within the available budget.

Data Assembly & Gathering
GHD has reviewed the previous studies in the area with
a view towards understanding the project’s context,
alternatives considered, and existing agency agreements.

Additional data to be assembled includes right-of-way
maps (as made available) and utility record drawings. GHD will seek any additional topographic base mapping that
could be useful in developing viable projects and cost
estimates.

Multimodal Approach
GHD will review the proposed improvement categories
identified in the MAT funding application including Bicycle, Pedestrian, Traffic Calming and Other (i.e., Pavement
Rehabilitation) for consistency with the Cities desired multimodal networks, current industry best practices,
and community input from the public engagement effort.

Our transportation planners and engineers embrace a
multimodal design perspective without compromise for
safety of the most vulnerable road users.

Early in the project development, GHD will review locations for enhanced active transportation facilities that maximize separation between moving cars and trucks and the
walking and bicycling public. This project can start to set the stage for the area’s long-range potential to improve community connectivity and enhance access to safe
multimodal options.

Agency Coordination
Due to the complexity of this project, a variety of local and resource agencies will be involved in the design, review and permitting of the process. Each of these agencies serves a unique role in the implementation of the project. Our team understands these roles and the need to effectively coordinate with each of these agencies. The following
table summarizes roles of the key agencies that will be involved in the project.

Project: Randolph Corridor ATP
Date: 8/9/23
GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 49 B. Work Plan
Provide a description of the work plan for the services describing how each task under the Scope of Services will be accomplished. This may be used as an Exhibit for the Scope of Services to the agreement.

Work Plan
This section outlines our proposed approach to fulfilling the City’s goals for this project. The various steps are described below.

Task 1: Project Management

1.1 Project Kick Off Meeting
The kick-off meeting will serve as the first Project
Development Team (PDT) meeting. GHD will review the
Scope of Work and Schedule in detail with the City,
identifying critical dates and data requests necessary
to maintain the required delivery timeframe. The kickoff meeting will be hosted virtually on Microsoft Teams.

GHD will prepare a Meeting Agenda and Meeting Record
for distribution to the PDT, indicating action items and responsible parties.

1.2 Monthly PDT Meetings
GHD will host monthly PDT meetings. These will be
accompanied by a Short Term Action List that will serve as both meeting agenda and record for the duration of the project. The Short Term Action List will indicate desired completion dates, actual completion dates, responsible
parties, and any relevant notes or updates recorded during the PDT meeting.

1.3 TAC Meetings
GHD will attend up to 24 TAC meetings to coordinate with the various project stakeholders.

1.4 Project Schedule
GHD will prepare a project schedule and update monthly
throughout the duration of the project.

1.5 Project Administration ad Progress Reporting
GHD will submit monthly progress reports and invoices.

GHD will also assist City of Commerce with FA compliance throughout various phases of the Project.

Task 1 Deliverables:
− Meeting agenda
− Meeting summary notes with action items (distributed
to PDT no later than five working days following
the meeting)
− Short Term Action List (continuously updated, serving as both meeting agenda and record for bi-weekly
meetings, and distributed to PDT immediately following
each meeting)
− Monthly invoices and progress summary
Task 2: Data Collection and Analysis

2.1 Review of Existing Plans & Studies
GHD will review studies previously conducted on this
corridor including the Rail to River Study.

GHD will review available right-of-way data, geotechnical reports and traffic studies.

2.2 Field Surveys
Conduct a field survey to review and record existing
conditions in the corridor study area including an inventory of existing features such as roadways, irrigation and flood control facilities, utilities and drainage.

Task 2 Deliverables:
− Record of field notes and site photos and
as-built drawings/information
Task 3: Public Outreach
GHD will coordinate with the City and stakeholders to
conduct up to six (6) community meetings to introduce
the project to the community and solicit input from
stakeholders. GHD will help determine the format of these meetings and will attend the meetings, facilitate Question and Answer sessions, document the meetings, and serve
in a support role to the City for these outreach efforts.

This task will include preparation of graphic materials to be used for the presentation of the project at the
Informational Meetings and/or Public Hearings. Graphic
materials include, but are not limited to, board-mounted concept drawings, informational handouts and computergenerated presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint or similar software.

GHD will prepare the meeting notice, which will distributed electronically by the City. Should the City decide to do so, GHD will also host an interactive web-based tool to solicit community input via a map interface. The site hosting the GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 50 tool can also be used to distribute project information, provide contact information, and link back to the City’s own webpage.

Task 3 Deliverables:
− Meeting notice in a flyer format and social media
formats for the City to distribute via Twitter
and Facebook
− Presentation material for community meetings in
PowerPoint format and printed display boards for
exhibits as needed
− Meeting agenda at least two weeks prior to the
community meetings
− Meeting summary notes with action items no later than five working days following the meeting
− Record of online engagement and log of input received (if interactive web-based tool is used)
Task 4: Planning Concept
GHD will work with the City and stakeholders to identify feasible improvements to implement for the project. This task will include:
− Creation of a planning worksheet that identifies the
most technically and feasible options that can be
implemented based on the amount of funding available.
− GHD will prepare draft and final concepts that will
include layouts and typical cross-sections and
identification of constraints and assumptions on the
scope of the improvements. Strip maps and various
layout sheets shall be created to provide the necessary details to assist with the evaluation and development
of improvement refinement to support the creation
of order of magnitude opinion of planning-level cost
estimates for each jurisdiction.
− The team will review the concept plan and:
• Prepare a Memorandum including the Concept map
and planning-level quantities and cost elements
by jurisdiction
• Attend up to 8 presentations (2 per affected
agencies) to City Council or County Board of
Supervisors
Task 4 Deliverables:
− Planning Concept Memorandum and high-level
quantities of scope elements by jurisdiction to be
environmentally cleared and designed
Task 5: Environmental Clearance
As noted in the RFP, various environmental studies will be required for the project. Based upon our preliminary review, we anticipate these studies will include aesthetics, biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and
transportation. The engineering conceptual design will
be used to identify potential environmental impacts. The nature and significance of impacts will depend upon the ultimate footprint of the approved alternative; however, given the location and characteristics of the project as described in the RFP, we anticipate that impacts are highly unlikely other than during construction, which will be
temporary and can be minimized with best management
practices. Considering the existing conditions in and
around the project corridor, the potential area of impact, and that project improvements would be located within
the existing right-of-way, we expect that a Categorical Exemption (under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301) is the
likely form of CEQA documentation for the project.

GHD’s Natural Resources & Impact Assessment Group
understands the environmental assessment, compliance,
and permitting process well, and knows the importance of identifying the appropriate level of documentation based on the project and the issues. Working in a multidisciplinary firm, the team is accustomed to the design process and
communicates seamlessly with the design and engineering groups, thereby recommending practical and feasible
mitigation measures. We integrate CEQA and permit
documentation efforts with predesign activities.

The GHD team has extensive experience working in both
urban and environmentally sensitive areas and has an
in-depth understanding of the environmental constraints within the project corridor. We have also worked on linear projects that cross multiple jurisdictions. We will manage our team’s approach to avoid or minimize impacts to
environmental resources as possible through an iterative process considering feedback from the City, County,
and the appropriate regulatory agencies. We refer to this approach as “mitigation by design,” which is a combination of appropriate site-sensitive design, low impact
development techniques, environmental enhancements,
and working through technical options that provide the
intended design intent while minimizing environmental
impacts.

This proactive integrated approach reduces the need for mitigation and increases the likelihood of expediting permit approvals. It helps avoid costly redesign and keeps the project on schedule.

Should federal funding be obtained for the project,
environmental review under NEPA would be required. GHD
would work with the City and County to initiate the NEPA GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 51 review process by completing a preliminary environmental study form according to Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) instructions. This would include
developing a project description and detailed maps for
the project and answering each question on the form with supporting documentation. We would also complete a field review form, which would include describing the physical limits of the project, the work, construction cost, and scheduling estimates. Such effort is not anticipated nor included in this scope of work.

Design Phase
Project improvements that will be implemented during
design phase will be determined in Task 4. The scope of work will be finalized when these improvements have been identified and agreed on by the TAC. The following base scope of work identifies the key design components of
the project.

Task 6: Topographic and
Boundary Surveys

6.1 Topographic Mapping
A design level Topographic Survey will be provided for the project area as follows:

Control Surveys
Horizontal and vertical project control will be established for the project area to support the aerial, topographic, boundary and utility surveys defined below. The survey
control will be tied into available NAD83 and NAVD88
controls within the project vicinity. Supplement controls will be established outside of the anticipated construction area, so these points may be used by the design team and future construction teams.

Aerial Topographic Mapping
Aerial photogrammetric mapping will be obtained for the project limits defined during Task 4. Horizontal and vertical aerial control panels will be set to meet aerial triangulation requirements and tied into the project control established for the project. A digital topographic map at a scale of 1" = 20' with a 1-foot contour interval will be complied over the project limits. Color digital orthophotography at a scale comparable to 1" = 20' will also be provided. The digital orthophotos will be geo-referenced to the project horizontal datum.

Supplemental Topographic Surveys
Conventional ground survey methods will be utilized to
supplement the aerial mapping to support the priorities of the design team, such as obtaining topographic
information for utility features, areas obscured within the aerial mapping, critical conform areas and clearances.

The supplemental topographic surveys may include curbs
and gutters, flowlines, walks, drainage channels, edge of pavement, berms and slopes, walls and fences, buildings, trees, surface visible indications of utilities and other visible features. Top of rails will be provided within the aerial mapping and not included with the supplemental
topographic surveys.

Boundary Surveys and Mapping
Cadastral research will be performed within the county
of Los Angeles, and other applicable entities for existing centerline and right-of-way files and/or available cadastral records in support of the record centerline and record
right-of-way of Randolph Avenue, the Randolph Rail
Corridor, and other adjacent and intersecting rightsof-way within the project limits. Field surveys will be performed to locate centerline and right of monuments
to calculate any other record centerlines, record rightsof-way and record parcel data affected by the proposed project.

Record of Survey
A record of survey will be prepared for the existing
centerline and right of way for the Randolph Rail corridor, Randolph Avenue and intersection streets and rights of
way. The record of survey will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Professional Land Surveyors Act and the County of Los Angeles Surveyor.

Task 6 Deliverables:
− Topographic design survey and map file
Task 7: Utility Coordination/Agency
Coordination
During the preliminary design phase, GHD will minimize
utility impacts to avoid relocation to the maximum extent possible. It is assumed that no utility relocations will be required only adjustments to grade are required.

7.1 Utility Information Requests
GHD will obtain existing utility data provided by the
City and/or available through public, online sources, to determine which agencies and owners have utility facilities within the Project limits. GHD will prepare and submit
formal utility information request letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity. This correspondence will include preliminary drawings and a copy of any formal work authorizations by the City.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 52

7.2 Utility Verification Requests
GHD will prepare and submit formal utility location
verification letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity. This correspondence will include
preliminary drawings, showing their facilities within the Project limits. At this time, points of contact between the GHD design team and the any impacted utility owners will be established.

7.3 Utility Conflict Notices
GHD will prepare and submit formal utility conflict
notification letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity and present possible alignment conflicts (horizontal and/or vertical). This correspondence will
include preliminary drawings, showing the impact to their facilities, as well as an anticipated schedule of roadway improvement work. This Task will include meetings and
the sharing of design information towards the goal of
conflict resolution, via changes in design to avoid conflict, mitigation of impacts, or relocation design efforts.

7.4 Utility Relocation Notices
If a utility relocation is unavoidable, GHD will prepare and submit formal utility notices to affected utility
owners. This Task includes finalizing all relocation design documents and formalizing all relocation documentation.

For budgeting purposes, it is assumed the only utility
relocation notices will pertain the adjustments to grade.

7.5 Utility Permits
There may be utility permitting documents necessary as
part of the roadway improvement construction activities.

GHD will identify and assist in the assembly and formal submission of applicable utility permits. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed no permits will be needed.

However, should permits be needed, GHD can provide a
scope and fee for this work.

7.6 Utility Coordination Meetings
During the processes identified in the Tasks 7.1 through

7.5, up to four meetings with impacted utility owners will be required to discuss Project status, progress, public involvement, and any other relevant concerns. GHD will
prepare and distribute the agenda and meeting minutes.

7.7 Utility Potholing
Based on the improvements identified during Task
4, potential utility conflicts/potholing locations will be determined. Potholing will be performed by our
subconsultant SafeProbe.

7.8 Railroad Grade Crossing Permits
It is anticipated that several at-grade railroad crossings will be modified as part of the project. The GHD team will coordinate with the California PUC and UPRR to prepare
GO 88-B forms for each crossing to be modified as well as conducting Field Diagnostic Meetings at each location.

Task 8 – Pavement Evaluation/
Geotechnical (optional)
During Task 2, the GHD team will perform visual
inspections on streets that require pavement rehabilitation and provide recommendations in conjunction with each
city's pavement rehabilitation program.

Optional Geotechnical Services will be performed
depending on the limits and locations of the proposed
improvements.

Task 9 – Street Lighting
The existing street lighting system will be evaluated to insure adequate lighting for the project improvements
including upgrading to LED.

Design will include pedestrian-scale lighting for the 3.25 miles east of the West Santa Ana Branch segment. We have assumed that no street lighting will be designed for the segment adjacent to the West Santa Ana Branch.

Task 10 – Bike Facilities/Signal
Modifications
It is anticipated that the project design will include new bike facilities including the addition of bike lanes. The type and class of facility will depend on the street width, lane configuration and input by the TAC as well as consistency with local agency standards and bike master plans, if
applicable. Bike stop and rest facilities will be evaluated as part of this task.

In conjunction with the proposed bike facilities,
existing traffic signal operations will be evaluated for compatibility with the improvements and modifications will be recommended.

Task 11 – 30% Submittal (PA&ED)
As part of the Task 5 to environmentally clear the project, GHD will prepare the preliminary design of the civil
improvements, signing and striping plans, and develop
a preliminary cost estimate. The following plan sheets
are anticipated:
− Layout of Proposed Improvements
− Typical Sections
− Pavement Delineation
− Staging Concept
GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 53 Task 12 – 60% Submittal (PS&E)
GHD will prepare 60% plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). The design assumes one bid package will be
prepared and will be based on applicable guidelines and standards, including local agency standards, Caltrans
Highway Design Manual, CPUC, California Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and LA County standards.

the Project will be prepared using the most recent and
relevant Caltrans Cost Data, as well as data from recent bid openings.

Specifications: GHD will prepare the Draft Project
Technical Specifications per local agency Standards. It is assumed the Cities will provide any front-end contract boiler plate language required.

GHD will provide a formal Comment Resolution Table
identifying all design review comments received on each subsequent submittal.

Task 13 – 90% Submittal (PS&E)
Upon receipt of the City reviewed 60% plan document
package, GHD will prepare 90% PS&E for further review
by the TAC agencies. The plans prepared as part of
the 60% PS&E will be supplemented with additional

Work Plan
This section outlines our proposed approach to fulfilling the City’s goals for this project. The various steps are described below.

Task 1: Project Management

1.1 Project Kick Off Meeting
The kick-off meeting will serve as the first Project
Development Team (PDT) meeting. GHD will review the
Scope of Work and Schedule in detail with the City,
identifying critical dates and data requests necessary
to maintain the required delivery timeframe. The kickoff meeting will be hosted virtually on Microsoft Teams.

GHD will prepare a Meeting Agenda and Meeting Record
for distribution to the PDT, indicating action items and responsible parties.

1.2 Monthly PDT Meetings
GHD will host monthly PDT meetings. These will be
accompanied by a Short Term Action List that will serve as both meeting agenda and record for the duration of the project. The Short Term Action List will indicate desired completion dates, actual completion dates, responsible
parties, and any relevant notes or updates recorded during the PDT meeting.

1.3 TAC Meetings
GHD will attend up to four (4) TAC meetings to coordinate with the various project stakeholders.

1.4 Project Schedule
GHD will prepare a project schedule and update monthly
throughout the duration of the project.

1.5 Project Administration ad Progress Reporting
GHD will submit monthly progress reports and invoices.

GHD will also assist City of Commerce with FA compliance throughout various phases of the Project.

Task 1 Deliverables:
− Meeting agenda
− Meeting summary notes with action items (distributed
to PDT no later than five working days following
the meeting)
− Short Term Action List (continuously updated, serving as both meeting agenda and record for bi-weekly
meetings, and distributed to PDT immediately following
each meeting)
− Monthly invoices and progress summary
Task 2: Data Collection and Analysis

2.1 Review of Existing Plans & Studies
GHD will review studies previously conducted on this
corridor including the Rail to River Study.

GHD will review available right-of-way data, geotechnical reports and traffic studies.

2.2 Field Surveys
Conduct a field survey to review and record existing
conditions in the corridor study area including an inventory of existing features such as roadways, irrigation and flood control facilities, utilities and drainage.

Task 2 Deliverables:
− Record of field notes and site photos and
as-built drawings/information
Task 3: Public Outreach (optional)
GHD will coordinate with the City and stakeholders to
conduct up to four (4) community meetings to introduce
the project to the community and solicit input from
stakeholders. GHD will help determine the format of these meetings and will attend the meetings, facilitate Question and Answer sessions, document the meetings, and serve
in a support role to the City for these outreach efforts.

This task will include preparation of graphic materials to be used for the presentation of the project at the
Informational Meetings and/or Public Hearings. Graphic
materials include, but are not limited to, board-mounted concept drawings, informational handouts and computergenerated presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint or similar software.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 58 GHD will prepare the meeting notice, which will distributed electronically by the City. Should the City decide to do so, GHD will also host an interactive web-based tool to solicit community input via a map interface. The site hosting the tool can also be used to distribute project information, provide contact information, and link back to the City’s own webpage.

Task 3 Deliverables:
− Meeting notice in a flyer format and social media
formats for the City to distribute via Twitter
and Facebook
− Presentation material for community meetings in
PowerPoint format and printed display boards for
exhibits as needed
− Meeting agenda at least two weeks prior to the
community meetings
− Meeting summary notes with action items no later than five working days following the meeting
− Record of online engagement and log of input received (if interactive web-based tool is used)
Task 4: Planning Concept
GHD will work with the City and stakeholders to identify feasible improvements to implement for the project. This task will include:
− Creation of a planning worksheet that identifies the
most technically and feasible options that can be
implemented based on the amount of funding available.
− GHD will prepare draft and final concepts that will
include layouts and typical cross-sections and
identification of constraints and assumptions on the
scope of the improvements. Strip maps and various
layout sheets shall be created to provide the necessary details to assist with the evaluation and development
of improvement refinement to support the creation
of order of magnitude opinion of planning-level cost
estimates for each jurisdiction.
− The team will review the concept plan and:
• Prepare a Memorandum including the Concept map
and planning-level quantities and cost elements
by jurisdiction
• Attend up to 8 presentations (2 per affected
agencies) to City Council or County Board of
Supervisors
Task 4 Deliverables:
− Planning Concept Memorandum and high-level
quantities of scope elements by jurisdiction to be
environmentally cleared and designed
Task 5: Environmental
Clearance (optional)
The engineering conceptual design will be used to
identify potential environmental impacts associated
with the project. The nature and significance of potential environmental impacts will depend upon the ultimate
footprint of the approved alternative; however, given the location and characteristics of the project as described in the RFP, we anticipate that impacts are highly unlikely other than during construction, which would be temporary and can be minimized with best management practices.

Considering the existing conditions in and around the
project corridor, the potential area of impact, and that project improvements would be located within the existing right-of-way, we expect that a Categorical Exemption
(under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301) is the likely form of CEQA documentation for the project.

GHD will prepare a draft Categorical Exemption form for the City. Supporting text will consist exclusively of a brief project description. We assume that database searches
(desktop-level reviews) for environmental disciplines
to include biological resources, cultural resources, and hazards will be performed by others at the discretion of the City. Similarly, field measurements, quantitative analyses, and standalone environmental studies are not included in the scope of work. At the City’s direction, GHD will file the Categorical Exemption with the County Recorder.

Should federal funding be obtained for the project,
environmental review under NEPA would be required. A
proposal for federal environmental review requirements to include a Caltrans Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form would be prepared as an amendment to this scope
of work.

Design Phase
Project improvements that will be implemented during
design phase will be determined in Task 4. The scope of work will be finalized when these improvements have been identified and agreed on by the TAC. The following base scope of work identifies the key design components of
the project.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 59 Task 6: Topographic and
Boundary Surveys

6.1 Topographic Mapping
A design level Topographic Survey will be provided for the project area as follows:

Control Surveys
Horizontal and vertical project control will be established for the project area. The survey control will be tied
into available NAD83 and NAVD88 controls within the
project vicinity. Supplement controls will be established approximately every 2000 feet so these points may be
used by the design team and future construction teams.

Aerial Topographic Mapping
Existing aerial mapping will be obtained for the project limits and utilized for design.

Supplemental Topographic Surveys
Conventional ground survey methods will be utilized to
supplement the aerial mapping. Survey will include up to four (4) intersections to support of the design of eight (8) curb ramps.

The supplemental topographic surveys may include curbs
and gutters, flowlines, walks, drainage channels, edge of pavement, berms and slopes, walls and fences, buildings, trees, surface visible indications of utilities and other visible features.

Boundary Surveys and Mapping
Cadastral research will be performed within the county
of Los Angeles, and other applicable entities for existing centerline and right-of-way files and/or available cadastral records in support of the record centerline and record
right-of-way of Randolph Avenue, the Randolph Rail
Corridor, and other adjacent and intersecting rightsof-way within the project limits. Field surveys will be performed to locate centerline and right of monuments
to calculate any other record centerlines, record rightsof-way and record parcel data affected by the proposed project.

Task 6 Deliverables:
− Topographic design survey and map file
Task 7: Utility Coordination/Agency
Coordination
During the preliminary design phase, GHD will minimize
utility impacts to avoid relocation to the maximum extent possible. It is assumed that no utility relocations will be required only adjustments to grade are required.

7.1 Utility Information Requests
GHD will obtain existing utility data provided by the
City and/or available through public, online sources, to determine which agencies and owners have utility facilities within the Project limits. GHD will prepare and submit
formal utility information request letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity. This correspondence will include preliminary drawings and a copy of any formal work authorizations by the City.

7.2 Utility Verification Requests (if necessary)
GHD will prepare and submit formal utility location
verification letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity. This correspondence will include
preliminary drawings, showing their facilities within the Project limits. At this time, points of contact between the GHD design team and the any impacted utility owners will be established.

7.3 Utility Conflict Notices (if necessary)
GHD will prepare and submit formal utility conflict
notification letters to utility owners with facilities in the Project vicinity and present possible alignment conflicts (horizontal and/or vertical). This correspondence will
include preliminary drawings, showing the impact to their facilities, as well as an anticipated schedule of roadway improvement work. This Task will include meetings and
the sharing of design information towards the goal of
conflict resolution, via changes in design to avoid conflict, mitigation of impacts, or relocation design efforts.

7.4 Utility Relocation Notices (if necessary)
If a utility relocation is unavoidable, GHD will prepare and submit formal utility notices to affected utility
owners. This Task includes finalizing all relocation design documents and formalizing all relocation documentation.

For budgeting purposes, it is assumed the only utility
relocation notices will pertain the adjustments to grade.

7.5 Utility Permits (if necessary)
There may be utility permitting documents necessary as
part of the roadway improvement construction activities.

GHD will identify and assist in the assembly and formal submission of applicable utility permits. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed no permits will be needed.

However, should permits be needed, GHD can provide a
scope and fee for this work.

7.6 Utility Coordination Meetings (if necessary)
During the processes identified in the Tasks 7.1 through

7.5, up to four meetings with impacted utility owners will be required to discuss Project status, progress, public involvement, and any other relevant concerns. GHD will
prepare and distribute the agenda and meeting minutes.

− Provide traffic control as required by the Cities
− Perform a total of 24 borings along the proposed
bikeway alignment
− Measure the thicknesses of the existing asphalt
concrete (AC) layer and base layer (if encountered), and visually classify the subgrade soils
− Collect representative bulk samples from the shallow
subgrade soils (i.e., within 5 feet bgs), and disturbed and relatively undisturbed samples from deep soils
(i.e., deeper than 5 feet bgs). The soil samples will be transferred to the GAI’s laboratory
− Backfill the holes with the soil cuttings and patch
boreholes in paved areas using cold-patch asphalt or
ready-mix rapid-set concrete, as appropriate

8.2 Laboratory Testing
Samples will be tested to determine the engineering
properties of the subsurface soils. The quantity of
the tests will be determined based on the soil types
encountered. The laboratory testing program will include some of the following tests:
− Density of Soils in Place by the Drive-Cylinder Method (ASTM D2937)
− Moisture Content of Soils (ASTM D2216)
− Particle Size Analysis of Soils (ASTM D422) • Percent Passing 200 Sieve (ASTM D1140)
− Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index (ASTM D4318)
− Expansion Index (ASTM D4829) • Direct Shear Test
(ASTM D3080)
− Sulfate Content and Chloride Content (EPA Test
Method 300.0)
− Resistivity and pH Measurements (CT 643)
− Resistance R-value (CT 301, Max. 4 tests)

8.3 Engineering Evaluation and Final Report
The soil data obtained from the field and laboratory testing program will be reviewed, and an engineering evaluation and analysis will be performed. The final report will include the study methodology, field logs, laboratory testing, and our recommendations for the design and construction of
the proposed developments. The geotechnical report, as a minimum, will include the following:
− Site plan showing the location of borings
− Discussion of the geotechnical condition of the site
within the project area, geological condition of the
site and materials encountered in the borings and their engineering properties.
− Graphical log of the exploratory borings, summarizing the subsurface conditions encountered and the results
of laboratory testing.
− Recommendations for design and construction of the
proposed bike path from a geotechnical engineering
standpoint, including grading requirements and
pavement sections for the proposed bike path, and
utility trench backfilling. Also for the areas the bike path aligns with existing pavement, rehabilitation
recommendations will be provided, as needed.
− Note that the number of borings (and associated costs) may increase depending on the length of roadway/bike
lane that requires rehabilitation. We recommend (1) one core every 1000 to 1,500 ft for each traffic lane. Final determination will be made during Task 4.

GHD City of Commerce    Randolph Corridor Active Transportation Project 61 Task 9: Street Lighting

8. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision, this Agreement may be duly terminated at any time by the City at its sole discretion with or without cause by serving upon the consultant at least ten (10) days prior written notice (“Notice of Termination”).

Upon receipt of said notice, the Consultant shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise.

Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or default in, or failure of, performance resulting from or arising out of any Force Majeure event, and no such delay, default in, or failure of performance shall constitute a breach by either Party hereunder. Where a Force Majeure event gives rise to a failure or delay in either Party performing its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payment), those obligations will be suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure event. A Party who becomes aware of a Force Majeure event which gives rise to, or which is likely to give rise to, any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, will forthwith notify the other and inform the other of the period for which it is estimated that such failure or delay will continue. The affected Party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure event.
