City Council Agenda ReportItem # _____
Meeting Date: May 9, 2022
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Design Services of the 2022-23 Street Resurfacing Project Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement and any necessary amendments, in an amount not to exceed $300,000.00, for professional services with NCE of Point Richmond, California, to provide engineering design services for the 2022-23 Street Resurfacing Project.
Background
The street resurfacing project complements the City’s annual street slurry seal program to help Daly City maintain its pavement condition index (PCI). Whereas the annual slurry seal program cost-effectively extends the useful life of streets in fair and good conditions, the resurfacing projects perform more extensive pavement rehabilitation work to restore streets that are in poor condition.
The 2022-23 Street Resurfacing project includes pavement rehabilitation for streets located in the Hillside, Bayshore, Skyline, St. Francis, and Serramonte neighborhoods. The streets to be rehabilitated were selected through a comprehensive evaluation of the City’s Pavement Management Program, recommendations from the Street Maintenance Division, coordination with other planned City projects, and availability of funds.
The rehabilitation work will include base failure repair, asphalt concrete (AC) overlay, and other reconstruction treatment options as determined by the consultant during design. ADA curb ramps within the limits of work will be evaluated and if found to be deficient, will be reconstructed to meet current federal ADA requirements. Approximately 2.2 centerline miles of roadway will be restored with the project as shown on the attached location map.
Discussion
Staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for pavement engineering services on March 8, 2022, to eighteen firms from the City’s 2021 General Engineering Services short list with expertise in pavement design. Proposals were received from three firms and a panel consisting of staff from the Public Works department evaluated the proposals on their technical merits. The panel determined NCE has the experience and qualifications that meet the needs of the project.
The scope of work under this professional services agreement includes the following:
1. Coordinate with utility agencies to avoid potential construction delays and unnecessary disruptions to public services;
Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Professional
Services Agreement for Design Services of the 2022-23
Street Resurfacing Project
Meeting Date: May 9, 2022
2. Perform pavement condition surveys of each street section based on distresses concurrent with field testing;
3. Collect core samples of street pavement sections;
4. Perform pavement analysis and design services, and develop pavement rehabilitation treatment recommendations;
5. Prepare design plans, specifications, and cost estimates (PS&E) for construction;
6. Provide bid and construction support services; and
7. Survey and design ADA curb ramps.
Fiscal Impact
The professional services agreement with NCE provides for a not-to-exceed amount of $271,200 for the design of the 2022-23 Street Resurfacing project. An additional $28,800 (10%) is needed for design contingency for a total cost of $300,000.
Sufficient Funds are available in the FY 2021-22 Transportation Fund Project Accounts 17-312- 918 (2021-22 Street Resurfacing) and 17-312-919 (2022-23 Street Resurfacing) to fully fund this professional services contract.
Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement and any necessary amendments, in an amount not to exceed $300,000.00, for professional services with NCE of Point Richmond, California, to provide engineering design services for the 2022-23 Street Resurfacing Project.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

1) Implementation Plan
Project Understanding
As part of the 2021 Engineering On‐Call, Daly City (City) is seeking a consultant to complete pavement and civil design services for their 2022‐2023 Street Resurfacing Project (Project). Like many public agencies the City is wanting to pave the greatest number of streets and strike the right balance between cost, performance, and impacts to the public. Our staff understand this and are prepared to discuss and present a number of cost‐effective pavement treatment alternatives based on field investigation and observed pavement conditions. NCE has experience with conventional overlay and reconstruction methods and alternative cost recycle in‐place technologies that offer up cost savings, such as Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) and Cold In‐place Recycling (CIR). Based our initial field review and NCE’s knowledge of unit costs based in the Bay Area for pavement treatments, it appears the expected project will be on the order of $2.8 million in construction.
The planned streets to receive resurfacing are shown in the attached street list which shows pertinent street features. In general, the streets are mostly comprised of residential streets totaling about 2.3 miles. NCE conducted a preliminary street review to better understand pavement conditions and develop preliminary treatments for the purposes of refining the scope of work. In the attached table we provided preliminary pavement treatments for each street section along with preliminary field review notes summarizing pavement conditions, the number of curb ramps that are not ADA compliant and need replacement, and anticipated construction cost per street. From the PCI scores provided in Table 1 and the field review we expect the subject streets to be mostly candidates for resurfacing (mill and overlays or surface reconstruction) and a few reconstruction sections.
Streets that have pervasive pavement failures and fatigue cracking should be carefully evaluated for reconstruction based on pavement section measurements and subgrade characterization. Street reconstruction can be very costly, highly impactful, and introduce utility conflicts. It is important to limit depth of treatment/excavation, when possible, with surface reconstruction that removes old and tired pavements with a new asphalt section that utilizes the existing base materials. If surface reconstructs are not feasible based on insufficient thickness of remaining base materials or problematic subgrade, reconstruction of the pavement structure may be required including consideration of full depth AC, conventional reconstruction with asphalt concrete and aggregate base, and cost saving FDR.
For example, Belcrest Avenue (see figure to the left) is candidate for reconstruction and possibly FDR given the pervasive base failures in combination with heavy traffic load (i.e., Bus 110 route) and evidence of pumping in base of subgrade materials.
This section was surface sealed before without base repairs, and reflective cracking was observed along the entire section. The FDR treatment would pulverize the existing pavement section and mix with cement additives to provide a stable base material upon which to place a new asphalt concrete wearing course. The FDR method recycles the materials in‐situ and can offer significant cost savings over conventional roadway reconstruction techniques. It is generally cost‐effective for areas as little as 25,000 sf.

Edgemar Street between Mar Vista Drive and the end is a lower traffic street and a potential candidate for surface reconstruction (SR) and subgrade recompacting (see figure to the right). More than 80% of pavement area exhibited medium to high severity fatigue cracking with weathering and raveling.
Surface reconstruction includes removing the entire asphalt section and part of the base, recompacting the existing base materials, and then placing a new asphalt concrete pavement section suitable for residential traffic including garbage trucks and have a stable base for a new overlay. This process is ideal for sections with thinner asphalt sections with underling sufficiently thick aggregate base section and will be more cost‐ effective than mill and fill if the base repair percentage exceeds 30 to 40% of the total area. In addition to being more cost effective a surface reconstruct offers additional benefits including given less disruption to residents, reduced utility conflicts, ability to provide a new asphalt pavement section more suitable to heavier loads from garbage trucks, and from a sustainability perspective the ability to re‐use existing roadway base materials. A typical assumption for SR streets is that final paving grades will match approximately the existing grades.
Several street sections may also be candidates for surface seals to reduce treatment costs, which we can discuss further given that this is predominantly a rehabilitation project or possibly deferring to the City’s surface seal program. An example is Carter St (picture shown to the right) with a PCI of 51 and existing field conditions show only minor cracking and base repair percentages less than 5% of the total area. This section would be better suited for a cape seal or microsurfacing and these treatments would provide a more cost‐efficient solution than a more involved and costly rehabilitation or reconstruction alternative.
NCE will provide civil engineering and pavement design services in accordance with the following tasks.
Key Assumptions
Based on delivery of a similar project with the City and in order to deliver the most cost‐effective design strategy, we have made the following key assumptions:
City’s Responsibilities
NCE has assumed that the City will be able to provide the following:
1. Provide information regarding utilities (i.e., sanitary sewer and storm drain), ROW and property limits, site features and existing construction as is available from City.
2. Provide project requirements, including design objectives, budget, constraints, and criteria.
3. Provide existing City technical specifications as the basis for developing new technical specifications.
4. Front‐End specifications including General Provisions, Special Provisions, Special Conditions, and Proposal.
5. Provide City Standard Provisions and Standard Design Criteria.
6. Provide electronic files of City cover sheet template, if preferred.
PAVEMENT TESTING AND DESIGN
1. Pavement design will be based on Caltrans Standards with a combination of coring, pavement condition surveys, laboratory testing of subgrade, and observed field conditions depending on rehabilitation strategy.

Reconstruction
Carter Steet ‐ Surface Seal

2. Pavement coring will be performed on all street sections with spacing criteria and bulk samples as follows:
a. Pavement cores will be obtained approximately every 1,000 to 1,500 feet and a minimum of 2 cores per street section, unless section length is less than 500 feet only one core may be obtained. b. A minimum of one bulk sample of subgrade will be obtained per street section for those sections preliminarily identified as surface reconstruct or full‐depth reclamation (FDR) for laboratory testing including R‐value, Plasticity Index, and Moisture Content. The potential surface seal or mill and overlay sections will be assumed to not require bulk samples as subgrade investigation is typically not needed for these treatments.
c. AB thickness will be measured at all coring locations either at bulk sample locations (8” diameter core) by direct measurement or by using Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) at the 4” diameter core holes.
3. Base repairs will be measured in length and width to estimate base repair bid quantities for all street sections.
It is the intent that base repair quantities will be for bidding quantity purposes only, and that actual locations will be marked by NCE with City inspectors prior to construction.
4. A no fee encroachment permit will be pulled with the City for all pavement testing.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND BASE MAPS
1. A topographic survey will be completed for each street section from back‐of walk to back‐of‐walk to establish a base map sufficient for developing civil design plans. This will also include record data location of the existing right‐of‐way for the mapping corridor. This is provided in our base fee estimate based on our discussions with the City and request to include a fee estimate with topographic survey of each street section.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND BASE MAPS (ALTERNATIVE)
1. If pavement grades can generally be maintained at the subject street sections, we judge that a more cost‐ effective approach for rehabilitation streets (mill and overlay or surface reconstruction) would be to utilize City or County base/aerial base maps in lieu of topographic surveys. A topographic survey would still be completed for streets requiring reconstruction of the entire pavement structure (e.g., FDR) or regrading and at each of the curb ramps identified on the street list table (59 total). The City may elect to add additional curb ramp locations within the project area, and it is assumed these additions will occur prior to commencing the topographic survey work.
2. Design sheet information for non‐topo streets will be based on field inventories and approximate field measurements to verify items such as utility covers, cross‐slope, street widths and lengths, medians, repair candidates for curb & gutter, and striping.
3. Sections placed onto City or County basemaps (no topo) will be assumed not to require drainage improvements, complex changes in street geometry, or full pavement section reconstruction.
UTILITY COORDINATION AND LOCATION
1. NCE will prepare and distribute utility notification letters to collect facility maps and as‐builts, confirm utility planned work, and notify utilities of the City’s utility cut moratorium on improved streets. NCE will prepare and distribute a second round of letters including utility location information based on ground
penetrating radar (GPR) that is provided for all street sections to solicit feedback and need for utility relocation or adjustments.
2. Utility location will be completed using GPR to field locate and mark utility alignments and approximate depths of utility mains and laterals within all street sections to the extent that GPR methods can detect utilities. Utility location markings will then be included in topographic surveys. This GPR data is for initial planning purposes with utilities and will be provided as a courtesy to utilities to help expedite their assessments. Utilities will be responsible to review their facilities, perform utility Frankfort Street

potholes, if necessary, to determine if they have a utility conflict that requires adjusting or lowering of their facilities.
3. Utility covers will be inventoried for the purpose of developing bid quantities for adjustment of utility covers.
UTILITY COORDINATION AND LOCATION (ALTERNATIVE)
1. NCE will prepare and distribute utility notification letters to collect facility maps and as‐builts, confirm utility planned work, and notify utilities of the City’s utility cut moratorium on improved streets. NCE will prepare and distribute a second round of letters including utility location information based on ground penetrating radar (GPR) that is provided for only street sections currently identified for reconstruction of the entire pavement section with topographic survey to solicit feedback and need for utility relocation or adjustments.
2. Utility location will be completed using GPR for streets requiring reconstruction of the entire pavement section (e.g., FDR) or require significant changes in grades to field locate and mark utility alignments and approximate depths of utility mains and laterals to the extent that GPR methods can detect utilities. Utility location markings will then be included in their respective topographic surveys. This GPR data is for initial planning purposes with utilities and will be provided as a courtesy to utilities to help expedite their assessments. Utilities will be responsible to review their facilities, perform utility potholes, if necessary, to determine if they have a utility conflict that requires adjusting or lowering of their facilities.
3. Utilities will not be located in alignment or depth in rehabilitation streets (surface reconstruct or mill and overlay).
4. Utility covers will be field located approximately in rehabilitation streets and inventoried for the purposes of placing onto plan sheets and developing bid quantities for adjustment of utility covers.
TRAFFIC STRIPING
1. Traffic striping is assumed to match existing striping.
2. No significant traffic striping changes or design requiring traffic studies or assessment of traffic impacts is planned or included as a part of this scope.
3. Striping plans will be developed, and striping types and quantities will be inventoried for the purposes of developing bid quantities.
TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS
1. Traffic control plans are not included in scope of work. We have assumed as is typical to have contractor prepare traffic control plans in accordance with project technical specifications and requirements and submit to the City traffic engineering group for review.
CURB RAMPS
1. It is assumed that all non‐compliant curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted (e.g., detectable warning surface embedded in concrete) in accordance with Caltrans standards for rehabilitation street candidates. Curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted based guidance from the Department of Justice/Department of Transportation
Joint Technical Assistance on the Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act Requirements to
Provide Curb Ramps when Streets, Roads, or Highways
are Altered through Resurfacing dated July 8, 2013.
Further clarification on curb ramp replacement
included in this scope of work is as follows:
a. Utility relocations (e.g., utility poles, utility boxes, and drainage inlets) required to construct curb
ramps are not included in this scope of work.
b. All ramp construction shall be within City Right‐of‐ Way.

c. Curb ramp design for the purposes of this scope of work includes paving conforms between 1 to 15 feet beyond gutter lip or face of curb, or 2 feet beyond back of sidewalk. d. For curb ramps within hills or steepened grades, curb ramp design shall only extend up to 15 feet in the uphill direction, beyond which is considering chasing the grade.
2. Curb ramps will be field verified to determine the appropriate standard case ramp and NCE will develop a curb ramp detail for those that will require a custom curb ramp.
3. Steep curb ramps will require design iterations at 65%, 95%, and 100% draft design level to determine the most appropriate ramp.
DRAINAGE
1. The project will, to the extent possible and within the context of proposed rehabilitation, address visible drainage issues.
2. No major drainage improvements are assumed for this project requiring significant stormwater drain and pipe alteration and/or reconstruction.
CURB & GUTTER AND SIDEWALK
1. Curb and gutter sections will only be replaced to the extent that it affects pavement treatment (e.g., tree root uplift or settlement) or to improve drainage.
2. Sidewalk replacement is not included in this scope of work but can be added if required for additional scope and fee.
3. The purpose of our services will be to provide civil and pavement engineering design in support of the planned project by the City. To accomplish the stated purpose, we propose the following scope of services:
Scope of Work
To accomplish the stated purpose, we propose the following scope of services:
Task 1 – Project Management & Meetings
SUBTASK 1A: PROJECT KICK‐OFF MEETING/PROGRESS MEETINGS
NCE’s Project Manager will arrange a Kick‐Off Meeting with the City to initiate work on the project. The objectives of the Kick‐Off Meeting will be:
Review of the Scope of Work
Establish Lines of Communication
Confirm Deadlines
Establish Project Schedule and Milestones
Define Design and Operation Criteria.
Whether a simple preventative maintenance project or a complex reconstruction project, it is critical to establish effective lines of communication with, and coordination amongst, the various stakeholders from the start to ensure the delivery of a successful project within budget and on schedule. In addition to City Staff (Engineering, Maintenance, etc.), NCE will research and coordinate, as needed, with other agencies such as PG&E, AT&T, Daly City Water and Wastewater Resources, Schools, etc., to identify any potential conflicts, requirements, or design issues early to help minimize delays (and costs) later in the design process or during construction. At the Kick‐Off Meeting, key deliverables for each Task and the Project Schedule will be reviewed and adjusted accordingly to meet City needs.
NCE understands construction costs, particularly the volatile price of materials, which have affected the scope of many similar projects. In order to keep the City aware of overall project costs, NCE will begin developing Preliminary Engineering Cost Estimates as soon as we have developed our engineering design recommendations to closely monitor Frankfort Street

any potential funding issues, which may develop. During the course of the project, NCE will be seeking to develop the most appropriate and cost‐effective pavement rehabilitation alternatives to stay within the planned project budget and schedule.
Throughout the project, the NCE PM and Technical Lead will be available to attend monthly progress meetings (maximum of 10 up to 1 hour each per staff) and a total of three (3) design review meetings with the City, to maintain good communication and update on project progress. The purpose of the progress meetings will be to identify and resolve any design or funding issues that may surface in a timely manner, present design alternatives and recommendations to City staff, and continue coordination with project stakeholders as necessary.
Subtask 1A Deliverables: Kickoff/Progress Meeting Agendas and Minutes.
SUBTASK 1B: UTILITY COORDINATION
NCE will coordinate with utility agencies early in the design process to help avoid potential construction delays and unnecessary disruptions to public services. Utility coordination will be a critical item to keep utility providers informed about the project and schedule to allow for proper notification and planning should utility providers have planned maintenance projects within the subject street sections and/or need to lower/adjust their utilities to accommodate street rehabilitation and particularly reconstruction. One of the first and earliest items that NCE will complete is sending notification letters to applicable utility providers with a preliminary project schedule for street rehabilitation and reconstruction. This will allow for the earlier notification to allow utility providers to perform maintenance on their facilities prior to moratorium on the street paving area and/or assess their utilities and the possible need to lower/adjust their facilities, which can take up to a year or longer. We will also request utility as‐builts and record drawings for street sections planned for reconstruction.
NCE will also carefully document all utility coordination notifications, conversations, and meetings with utility contacts and information in a matrix format with dates of contacts and mailing detailed in this matrix. Follow‐up will be made for each of the above notifications to confirm receipt. NCE will also keep the City informed of any project delays related to utilities.
Subtask 1B Deliverables: Utility notification letters and Contact List Matrix.
Task 2 – Pavement Rehabilitation Design
The scope of work we would perform under this task consists of the following:
SUBTASK 2A: PAVEMENT AND CURB & GUTTER CONDITION SURVEY NCE will perform a pavement condition survey of each street section based on distresses. The surveys will generally cover the travel lanes. Pavement condition surveys serve the purpose of further refining the appropriate pavement rehabilitation treatments that are developed based on coring and lab testing.
This condition survey will generally note the presence of load related and environmental distresses, such as alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, rutting, patches and utility cuts, distortions and depressions as they pertain to developing appropriate pavement treatments. In addition, base repairs percentages will be estimated in the condition survey. Our scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues including but not limited to traffic, safety and road hazards, geometric issues, or short‐term maintenance that should be performed (i.e., pothole that should be repaired).
A visual assessment of all curb and gutters will be included to identify areas where drainage or the adjacent pavement has been compromised. Our scope will limit repair recommendations to only those sections of curb and gutter that are damaged to the extent that they will affect pavement rehabilitation and flowline obstructions. If damaged curb and gutter areas are more extensive than anticipated, it may require additional time to complete, and we will notify the City if more time is required to complete these surveys.
Prior to looking at curb and gutter, NCE will meet with the City and establish condition criteria for assessment and replacement. Based on the criteria established with the City, NCE will then determine what level of curb and gutter replacement will be pursued for design plans and documents.

SUBTASK 2B: PAVEMENT CORING
NCE will collect pavement section core samples (4” – 8” diameter cores) on streets identified under key assumptions at locations determined by NCE. All coring locations will be marked with white paint for utility location by Underground Service Alert (USA). Our current fee estimate assumes up to 28 core locations that we estimate will take 4 days to complete.
For each core sample, NCE will measure and record the thickness and material type (AC or PCC) of each layer encountered in the pavement section, including the presence of any pavement reinforcing fabric. The thickness of aggregate base (AB) will be measured at all coring locations either at bulk sample locations (8” diameter core) by direct measurement or by using Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) at the 4” diameter core holes. We will collect bulk samples of subgrade materials in accordance with key assumptions for laboratory testing such as R‐value, moisture content, and Atterberg Limits (plasticity index) determinations, to support new pavement structural section designs. Our current fees assume up to 12 bulk samples of subgrade will be obtained for testing only for those sections preliminarily identified as surface reconstruct or full‐depth reclamation (FDR).
The core holes will penetrate through the pavement section and will then be backfilled with the excavated materials and capped with AC cold patch on asphalt streets. NCE will then compile the coring and laboratory data and append it to its Pavement Design Memorandum. Each core sample will be logged and stored at NCE’s office and retained through the duration of the project including construction before they are disposed. Additionally, NCE will apply for and obtain a no‐ fee Encroachment Permit from the City prior to starting the coring. NCE will also provide traffic control in accordance with the latest standards contained within the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as well as any local requirements that exist.
SUBTASK 2C: PAVEMENT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Using the data obtained in Tasks 2A and 2B, NCE will perform pavement analysis and design services, and develop pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction recommendations for each street section. NCE will perform its analysis in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. NCE will develop pavement structural section recommendations expressed in the form of a Traffic Index (TI) that will be provided by the City. NCE will develop recommendations including, but not limited to, the following:
Reconstruction
o Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) over AB
o Full Depth HMA
o FDR
Conventional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement overlays
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA) overlays
Alternative rehabilitation methods (in‐place recycling, mill & fill treatments, etc.) Quantities and treatments of failed pavement sections (base repairs).
NCE will then summarize its recommendations in a Pavement Design Technical Memorandum to the City that, at a minimum, will include the following:
Results of coring, laboratory analyses, and pavement condition surveys Description of testing procedures and analysis performed for the project Recommended alternatives for pavement rehabilitation.
NCE will submit two (2) copies of its draft technical memorandum to the City for initial review. Upon receipt of any comments from the City, NCE will then prepare its final technical memorandum, which will be signed and stamped by NCE’s Pavement Engineer. Two (2) copies of the final technical memorandum will then be provided to the City reflecting any comments on the draft technical memorandum.
Subtask 2C Deliverables: Draft & Final Pavement Technical Memorandums.

Task 3 – Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E)
The work that will be performed during developing design plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) are outlined in the subsequent tasks.
SUBTASK 3A: DESIGN DATA GATHERING
NCE will review relevant available data and records from the City as listed in the previous section, public and private utility providers, and other sources that may be appropriate to support the preparation of project contract documents.
These may include, but are not limited to, the City drainage structure inventory maps, aerial photographs of the City; as‐ built street improvement and infrastructure plans, as‐built plans from utility providers, including any preliminary plans for future work that may conflict with this project. The gathered information will be compiled and included in the design.
Based on our review we will identify any data gaps or missing information and provide this information to the City for review and discussion.
SUBTASK 3B: UTILITY LOCATION
Using GPR, NCE’s utility locator will field locate utility alignments and depths for utility mains and laterals for utilities within the streets in accordance with key assumptions (or on select streets if alternative plan is preferred) to the extent that GPR methods can detect utilities. GPR along utility mains will be marked at various locations along each street section, and the accuracy for the electronic depths will depend on the soil conditions and utility material. GPR results can be affected by various factors such as pipe size, depth, and most importantly environmental factors such as soil conditions, rebar, and subsurface ground water. If GPR cannot establish utility alignments and or depths, potholing may need to be completed for additional scope and fee. Traffic control will consist of a 1‐man crew with traffic control arrow board and signs. Items excluded from work are as follows:
Cost of permits and inspection of any kind on this project Night shift or overtime
Certified or stamped traffic control plans
Lane closures
Pressure washing paint marks.
Subtask 3B Deliverables: Marked utility depth and alignments and electronic collection of utility information.
SUBTASK 3C: TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
NCE’s Project Surveyor will complete monument/control recovery, field investigation and field surveys sufficient to prepare a topographic mapping product for all streets (or on select streets and all 59 curb ramps if alternative plan is preferred) stated under key assumptions. The mapping shall be compiled at an agreed upon scale with a 1’ contour interval and will be based on the City Datum.
The mapping area shall be a corridor along each of the street sections (or on select streets and all 59 curb ramps if alternative plan is preferred) between the existing back of walk to opposite back of walk, starting and stopping at the designated locations and including through the returns of the terminating streets. In the absence of an existing sidewalk, the survey will extend to 5 feet behind the curb or edge of pavement, or up to the first substantial barrier (wall, fence, etc.), whichever occurs first. Lastly, the mapping will extend 25 feet beyond the curb return up each intersecting side street. The topographic data to be collected is more specifically defined as:
Cross‐sections at 50’ intervals along with detailed surface topography and/or additional spot elevations, as required, defining the longitudinal and cross slope grade breaks. Typically, the cross section will include back of walk, top of curb, flowline and lip of gutter, pavement ¼ point (if one exists), and pavement centerline.
Surveyed locations for significant surface features, such as curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, misc. concrete, pavement, striping, fences, surface utilities, trees, signs, street lights and signals will be included. A structure inventory for sanitary and storm drain facilities reflecting rim elevations, invert elevations, pipe direction and pipe size will be provided for accessible structures within the mapping limit. To the extent visible, our surveyor will obtain a measurement from the top of manhole rim to the top of cone and note any adjustment rings. In no case shall our surveyor enter a manhole to obtain any data.

Location of all surfaces evident of street monumentation within the mapping corridor (for preservation and Record R/W purposes).
Location of underground utility locator markings.
Provide a finished draft topographic survey for each area of work.
Provide AutoCAD Civil3D DTM surface for each street section.
If the alternative plans is selected, survey will also be performed at curb ramp corner locations specified on the street list table (59 total). The City may add additional curb ramp locations within the project area; it is assumed these additions will occur prior to commencing the topographic survey work.
Based upon a combination of record data and any monuments collected during topographic surveying, our surveyor will calculate the record data location of the existing right‐of‐way for the mapping corridor. Additionally, our surveyor will calculate and show the location of each adjoining parcel lot line from record data (assessor’s parcel data, record mapping and apparent lines of occupation). It should be noted this property line data will not be based upon a field survey and should be considered approximate only.
Subtask 3C Deliverables: Topographic survey results.
SUBTASK 3D: 65% PS&E
NCE will prepare the 65% PS&E for the planned pavement resurfacing. The 65% plans will incorporate typical design elements including layout plans for rehabilitation and reconstruction street sections, pavement treatments, right of way parcel lines, preliminary design, wedge grinds, conform grind locations at intersecting side streets, rehabilitation cross sections, curb and gutter repairs, gutter flow line for drainage repairs, and limits of work. The plans will be prepared in AutoCAD 2018 format on 22” x 34” sheets, drawn at a scale of 1”=20’. Rehabilitation plan sheets will include base repair schedules and will show individual base repair locations. Base repairs will be marked in the field on the pavement in white paint and numbered and verified prior to construction. Additionally, a table summarizing base repair areas and estimated quantities will be developed and included on the plan sheets. We also find that this information is particularly useful to contractors when assembling construction bids and schedules, thus resulting in more competitive bids, and to the City for verifying pay quantities during construction.
NCE understands that the City will provide the “Front End” documents and Special Provisions. The Technical Specifications will be prepared in MS Word format and will follow the City’s formatting conventions (CSI MasterFormat 1995 edition). The Technical Specifications and details will reference the City’s standard provisions and 2018 Caltrans Standards (including subsequent updates). NCE will, however, recommend deviating from Caltrans standards where, from our experience, such changes will improve the likelihood of achieving a successful construction project without compromising the integrity of the design. NCE recognizes the value of incorporating Caltrans Standard Specifications in projects such as these, both because these specifications have been developed by an agency that designs and builds a vast amount of highway work, and because most contractors performing public works construction in Northern California are familiar with them. Caltrans, however, has the resources to administer projects quite differently than most local agencies, so NCE advocates modifying the Caltrans Standard Specifications to better fit the abilities, needs, and budgets of municipal agencies.
NCE also believes that an efficient, yet thorough Quality Control/Quality Assurance program is essential for getting the maximum value out of every dollar spent on construction. Projects designed by NCE therefore, contain technical specifications that attempt to optimize the balance between using rigid, but time‐tested, specifications and meeting local agency needs, with the ultimate goal of obtaining the very best value for its clients.
The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will be prepared in MS Excel format and will be based on the most recent construction cost data available to NCE for projects of this type. Because of NCE’s involvement in the design and construction of numerous similar projects throughout California, we are confident in our ability to estimate the construction cost of the City’s project. This initial estimate will then be updated and refined as the design effort progresses.
It is assumed that the City will require a 10‐day review/comment period once the 65% PS&E package is submitted.
Subtask 3D Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 65% plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate.

SUBTASK 3E: 95% PS&E
The 65% PS&E will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City. NCE will meet with the City to review these comments, from which the 95% PS&E will be prepared. NCE will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City. The 95% PS&E will include additional design information and details typically expected at this stage of completion, such as utility facilities (storm drain and sanitary sewer manholes, water and gas valves, and survey monuments) that will require adjustments to grade, traffic striping, and pavement legends.
The 95% PS&E will then be packaged and submitted similar to the 65% PS&E unless directed otherwise.
The Technical Specifications will be further refined at this stage of the design. We will review and comment on the City’s front‐end documents (bid and contract forms, General Provisions, Special Provisions, etc.), which the City will prepare and provide. The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will also be updated to reflect the revised quantities of work depicted on the plans.
It is assumed that the City will require a 5‐day review/comment period once the 95% PS&E package is submitted.
Subtask 3E Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 65% plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate.
SUBRAKS 3F: 100% DRAFT PS&E
The 95% PS&E will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City. NCE will again meet with the City to review these comments, from which the 100% Draft PS&E will be prepared. NCE will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City. The 100% Draft PS&E will include all notes and details necessary for bidding. One reproducible copy of the 100% Draft PS&E will then be packaged and submitted similar to the 95% PS&E unless directed otherwise. It is assumed that the City will require a 5‐day review/comment period once the 100% Draft PS&E package is submitted.
Subtask 3F Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 100% draft plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate.
SUBTASK 3G: ISSUED FOR BIDDING PS&E
Upon receipt of the City’s final review comments, the project documents will be finalized for bidding purposes.
A final quantity calculation will be tabulated, and this will be entered into the final Engineer’s Cost Estimate for the project. All final documents will be reviewed, stamped and signed by NCE’s registered civil engineer, and the final PS&E will be delivered to the City in electronic formats.
Subtask 3G Deliverables: One electronic file of the final plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate.
The electronic files for the final construction plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate will be in AutoCAD 2018, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel, respectively.
Task 4 – Bidding and Construction Support Services
SUBTASK 4A: BID PHASE AND BID PHASE SUPPORT
NCE will provide the City with assistance during the advertisement and bidding periods for the project. This will include providing assistance to the City in attending the pre‐bid meeting, responding to questions received about the project design, and preparation of any addenda and/or clarifications to the PS&E that are deemed necessary. Our attached fee estimate shows the office staff hours allocated for the support during bidding; if additional effort is required beyond this, we will notify the City.
Subtask 4A Deliverables: Contract addenda and answers to bidders’ questions, if needed.
SUBTASK 4B: CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
NCE will provide support services to the City during construction of the project. At a minimum, these services are anticipated to include attendance at the pre‐construction conference meeting, on‐site visit in response to questions regarding design, reviewing Contractor submittals and responding to Contractor requests for information, providing recommendations for any necessary construction changes due to unforeseen field conditions, assisting with the review of Contract Change Orders, reviewing construction for acceptance (final walk through), and provide record drawings. This task does not provide any field inspection services and we understand that all construction inspection will be provided

by the City. Our attached fee estimate shows the staff hours allocated for office and field support during construction. If additional effort is required beyond these estimated staff hours, we will notify the City.
Subtask 4B Deliverables: Response to RFIs, contract change orders, modifications or revisions related to project original scope and character, and record drawings.
Task 5 – Additional Per Each Curb Ramp Survey and Design (Optional Task) NCE and NCE’s Project Surveyor will provide additional services on a per curb ramp basis for additions to the original scope of ramp design total. The original scope of work assumes up to 56 locations will need topographic surveying and curb ramp design. For the additional survey and design cost per each ramp, we have assumed the ramps to be within the project area and the number and location of ramps will be determined with the City Project Engineer prior to beginning the topographic surveying work. Subtraction of curb ramp design will be assumed to have the same refund cost to the City as shown in the attached fee estimate.

2) Experience and History
NCE’s History and Capabilities
NCE is a client‐focused engineering, science,
planning, and construction services firm with
over 110 employees housed in five offices, including three in Northern California, one in Southern California, and our headquarters in Reno, Nevada. Services for this contract will be primarily provided from our local Richmond office. Since inception, NCE has focused on developing long lasting client relationships by providing high value services. Our clients repeatedly choose to work with NCE staff because of our collaborative style of working on projects, our commitment to making sure the project is a success, and the confidence they have in our ability to complete the project to their satisfaction. More than 85% of NCE’s revenues come from local, state, and federal agencies providing NCE with an in‐depth understanding of current regulations, policies, and procedures, as well as best practices.
Civil Design – NCE’s civil and pavement design engineers and technicians are experienced in developing plans, specifications, and engineer’s cost estimates (PS&E) for many City, County, and State Roadway Projects. The benefit of this experience to the City is that we thoroughly understand the cost and community impacts of our recommended pavement designs. NCE staff pride themselves in thinking about how construction will impact a neighborhood, a busy arterial, or pedestrian bicycle traffic and access. Our civil engineers are well versed in civil design elements that include drainage improvements, such as stormwater run‐off reduction, landscape and planter improvements, ADA curb ramps and sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic striping and signs, and utility relocation.
Complete Streets – We understand the importance of incorporating and designing complete streets elements, such as bulbouts, landscaping, green infrastructure (e.g., bioretention), bus transit improvements, lighting, restriping, road diet, buffered and separated bike lanes, and dedicated bike lanes, into street improvement projects – making them safe for multi‐modal users, including transit riders, motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. We recently completed a quick‐build design of new bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the City of Richmond to connect the planned bike and pedestrian pathway across the Richmond‐San Rafael Bridge with key transit centers, including the Richmond BART Station and Richmond Ferry Terminal. When rehabilitating or designing complete streets, NCE meets with our clients to discuss options to improve safety and overall user experience, whether it is crossing the street, bicycling to work, or calming/slowing traffic.
NCE is the prime design consultant on the $15 million Rumrill Boulevard complete street multi‐modal corridor project for the City of San Pablo shown in the rendering to the right.
Utility Coordination – We understand the implications of utilities to street improvement and resurfacing projects, particularly those identified for reconstruction. Utilities can result in unplanned costs, delays, and street cuts in newly resurfaced streets. NCE has communicated with utilities, such as PG&E, Comcast, AT&T, Daly City Department of Water and Wastewater to ensure we understood what utility work was planned and identify potential conflicts. NCE also coordinates with utility owners throughout the project to obtain facility maps for cross‐checking and to appraise them of the proposed work (maximum excavation depth) and notify them of the City’s cut moratorium. During reconstruction, NCE, Richmond

utilities become even more important requiring accurate location of utility alignments to prevent damage and conflicts.
NCE has used private utility locators to establish utility depths using cost saving and non‐invasive techniques, such as Ground penetrating radar (GPR) in lieu of more invasive and expensive potholing. On several streets where shallow utilities exist, particularly laterals, NCE uses thinner pavement sections, such as full‐depth hot mix asphalt (HMA) to reduce conflicts with utilities.
ADA Compliance – These types of projects require a detailed and multi‐modal mindset. This requires attention and considerations to cross‐slopes and running slopes for ADA, drainage patterns when adding bulb‐outs to shorten crosswalk distances or provide traffic calming. For example, the picture to the right shows a common situation in streets with high slopes where the curb ramp design will require a design exception (chasing the flare to 15’ max and conforming to existing sidewalk grades). NCE will also coordinate curb ramp alterations with required alterations to the roadway striping plans such as crosswalks and vehicle or bicycle detector loops.
Green Infrastructure – NCE’s Engineers and Landscape Architects incorporate Green Infrastructure elements into their projects to provide communities with healthier public spaces, visually appealing streetscapes, enhanced pedestrian experience, storm water quality/management, reduced impervious pavements and minimize the impacts of climate change. Specific techniques include the adaptive reuse of tires as a component of rubberized cape seals and hot mix asphalt, reducing heat island impacts with the use of light aggregate and replacing impervious pavements with permeable pavers within parkways. With an innovative approach, NCE’s landscape architects worked with South San Francisco on its 2021 Green Infrastructure Program to study opportunities to integrate a range of green infrastructure elements such as stormwater planters, permeable paving and street trees into the City’s streetscape in coordination with proposed pavement rehabilitation. Several of these Green Infrastructure Elements will be constructed and will serve as a model for other communities to take a holistic approach to addressing issues of Stormwater Quality and Management, Climate Change Impacts, Pavement Management, Aesthetics and Placemaking.
Roadway Maintenance and Pavement Rehabilitation – Street rehabilitation extends well beyond the pavement and often requires important considerations, such as striping, curb and gutter repairs, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, signage, utility relocation, drainage improvements, and ADA compliant curb ramps and sidewalks. NCE has developed outstanding working relationships with our clients, implementing projects similar to the services described in the City’s scope of services. NCE provides a full spectrum of roadway pavement design services from conceptual engineering to plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate of probably construction cost (PS&E) for preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, NCE’s specialty.
We offer extensive experience and expertise with pavement treatment alternatives (cost saving, cutting‐edge, and green/ sustainable paving technologies, such as warm mix asphalt and in‐place recycling technologies). Our civil, pavement, and geotechnical engineers not only understand the types of pavements and treatment options, but they also understand the significance and cost implications of proper roadway support on competent subgrade soils to limit future settlement and cracking. Pavement design begins with an accurate assessment of the existing structural adequacy. Unlike traditional civil firms who rely only on core samples and R‐values, we employ our
City of Daly City
2022‐2023 Street Resurfacing Project
April 5, 2022

pavement survey expertise in conjunction with deflection data and materials testing to assess the engineering properties of the existing roadway more accurately.
Deploying Pavement Technologies – Simply offering innovative pavement technologies does not always solve the problem; rather, ensuring that they are appropriate is what makes the difference in the success of a project. There are many factors to consider including cost, performance, future maintenance, traffic, access, pavement section properties, geometric constraints, and climate including shaded areas and drip lines, etc. The streets of Daly City have a wide variety of pavement conditions and user needs. There are numerous pavement rehabilitation techniques available today with new binders, new additives and polymers all of which may be applied in various layers to preserve pavement life. The figure to the right shows a range of seals and treatments that have worked successfully for NCE’s clients in California.
Pavement Design Related Geotechnical Engineering – NCE’s geotechnical engineers understand the significance of proper pavement support on competent subgrade soils to limit damaging settlement and future cracking. For example, based on field exploration
and soil/rock laboratory testing, we are able to accurately assess the engineering properties and the presence of subgrade soils that might be soft and exhibit pumping under vehicle loads. We develop appropriate subgrade stabilization techniques for problematic subgrade soils that may include moisture conditioning, lime treatment, geotextiles, and/or over‐excavation and replacement with aggregate materials.
Special Equipment – NCE can evaluate pavement
structural conditions with deflection testing using our Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). The FWD is a specialized tool that will support the development of a more cost‐effective design for the City. The in‐ situ conditions can be quickly evaluated to determine issues such as the extent of subgrade problems or the presence of voids/unstable soils. Pavement designs for phased or staged constructions are possible, as well as the ability to model and use new materials and technologies.
High Quality Deliverables – The NCE team holds quality of utmost importance – not just because of our clients’ requirements, but because it is vital to our continued professional and commercial viability. NCE’s Quality Assurance Management Program (QAMP) reduces production costs and ensures quality engineering designs, planning documents, and regulatory permit applications. Our focus is on producing engineering designs, technical reports, special studies, permit applications, environmental, and construction documents that maximize project delivery, while at the same time minimize regulatory agency comments and contractor claims and change orders. NCE’s QAMP is based on four principles: client satisfaction, employee participation, problem prevention, and continuous quality improvement.
The QAMP includes detailed review of each environmental and planning document, technical report, permit application, engineering specification, drawing, and calculation, and design document prior to submittal to the client, as well as providing meticulous record keeping and high standards of field documentation.
Our field technicians regularly work with our project managers and engineers during planning and design to perform constructability reviews, regulatory compliance analysis, and provide input on specifications based on their experience working with contractors. Clear and thorough reports, studies, plans, and specifications are one of the best claims‐avoidance tools you can have and a means of minimizing regulatory scrutiny.
NCE routinely provides biddability and constructability reviews for our clients to ensure projects can be constructed as

As part of its 5‐year work plan developed by NCE, the City allowed for pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing to be designed in advance of construction and allow for earlier bidding to obtain competitive bids. It was the City’s desire to have resurfacing projects for each year, grouping and aggregating by neighborhoods for efficiency of design, construction (less mobilization), future maintenance, and to be able to resurface more streets with a limited pavement resurfacing annual budget. More cost‐effective cape seal or multi‐layer slurry seal with base repair and leveling course was applied on residential streets under poor to failed pavement condition to help City treat more streets within limited budgets. This was made possible by NCE staff making several field visits to verify existing street conditions and tailoring cost‐effective treatments to each street.
NCE had a tight deadline to submit both packages but our collaboration with the staff across all offices allowed to mobilize resources to this project and get bid documents ready for winter bidding.

NCE designed the Presidio Trust’s pavement rehabilitation and maintenance project throughout the Presidio Trust campus including a substantial portion of the bicycle lane network. The scope for this project included preparing plans, specifications, and cost estimates for bidding purposes. Design elements of the project include pavement design, a roundabout, extensive modification to existing striping and markings to introduce class II and III bikeways and an advisory bike lane, roadway grading, drainage solutions and design, and design of minor concrete including bus platforms and curb and gutter. As part of this project, NCE introduced cost‐effective and sustainable pavement treatment alternatives, such as cold in‐place recycling (CIR) that allows the asphalt concrete to be recycled in‐place offering up a green technology that recycles existing onsite materials, reduces costly truck trips for import of asphalt paving materials, and reduces greenhouse gases and energy usage. The pavement design considered a number of different factors, including medians, curb reveal, depth to underlying concrete, previous overlays and fabric materials, AB thickness, contamination, cultural resources, and buried obstructions such as rail lines and recommended an appropriate pavement treatment. NCE also reviewed the Trust’s minor concrete specifications and details and discussed preliminarily how improvements could be made to reinforcement, slab thickness, joint spacing, and mix design.

5) Preliminary Sheet List and Technical Specifications Sections NCE proposed the following sheet list in our 2016 Street Resurfacing Project with the City:
1. Cover Sheet
2. Notes, Legend, and Abbreviations
3. Core Summary Table
4. Civil Improvement Layouts (Plan only)
5. Striping Improvement Layouts
6. Civil and Striping Details
7. Custom Curb Ramp Details
Recognizing that the 2022‐2023 Street Resurfacing Project planset is slightly different we would propose the following changes to this year’s gameplan:
1. The civil improvement layouts would have plan and profile.
On the proposed alternative, only the reconstruction streets (FDR) and streets with drainage improvements would be shown with plan and profile. When there would
be no regrading of the street (mill and overlay or surface reconstruct) only plan view will be laid out.
2. The striping improvement layout would only apply to Carter St (arterial). Minor striping on other streets will be included in the respective civil improvement layouts.
The scope of work anticipated for the 2022‐2023 Street Resurfacing Project may include similar technical specifications to the 2016 resurfacing project such as; mobilization, clearing and grubbing, traffic control, remove existing thermoplastic striping and markers, adjust existing utility covers and frame to finish grade, concrete improvements (curb and gutter, curb ramps, detectable warning surface retrofit), full depth base repairs, cold planing (milling), crack sealing, remove surfacing and base, subgrade preparation, hot‐mix asphalt overlay, thermoplastic striping and pavement markings, and pavement markers. Due to observed fatigue cracking and subgrade material pumping and other existing conditions additional technical specification sections may include full‐depth reclamation, cement or lime stabilization (if needed), rubberized hot‐mix asphalt, cape seal, or microsurfacing. 6) Required Statements
This proposal shall remain effective for ninety (90) days from beyond the date of submittal.

It is recommended the City Council set the time and place of a public hearing for 7:00 p.m., June 13, 2022 to review the local National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Regulatory Fee.
Background
The San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a consolidated Bay Area Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) on November 19, 2015. The permit conditions mandate numerous and costly municipal stormwater management activities over the following five years. The City/County Association of Governments continues to administer the General Program components. Each municipality is responsible for achieving specific program activities and filing an annual report on city specific and county-wide compliance activity. The City first established a stormwater fee in 1995 several years after the NPDES regulatory program was initially established in 1991 in order to finance the many new municipal activities required under to comply with this program.
Discussion
Since 1995, Daly City utilized the regulatory fee structure adopted in Ordinance No. 1219 to finance local specific activities to comply with mandated Stormwater Program requirements. This fee structure has not been amended or increased at any time in the past 26 years. This fee structure remains as follows for each Assessor Parcel Number:
Single Family/Duplex $9.80 Multi-Family (11-20 units) $36.76 Unimproved Land $4.90 Commercial/Retail/Manufacturing $56.84 Multi-Family (3-10 units) $19.60 Condominiums $4.90 On an annual basis, this local fee generates approximately $449,000. Its structure is based on the correlation between parcel size, land use and stormwater runoff, with the base fee assigned to single family/duplex parcels as they are the City’s predominant land use. To allocate costs proportionately, all other categories of use are assigned a factor compared to single family/duplex and take into account street frontage, impervious surface coverage and vehicle trips.
From its prior action, the City Council already authorized continued use of the San Mateo County Flood Control District to collect charges associated with the Countywide NPDES General Program.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or City Council members.

City Council Agenda ReportItem # _____
Meeting Date: May 9, 2022
Subject: Approve FY 2022-23 Project List for Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Funds Authorized Under SB 1
Recommended Action
Recommend the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the FY 2022-23 Project List for SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Funds
Background/Discussion
SB 1 (Beall) was filed with the Secretary of State on April 28, 2017. The bill established a Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) in the State Transportation Fund that is intended to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road network.
As written, SB 1 requires the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopt criteria to ensure efficient use of these funds. The RMRA funds will be provided to cities on a monthly basis along with traditional gas tax monthly disbursements, with the first distribution in January 2018.
A city or county must submit a project list and supporting documentation to the CTC each year, which means the FY22-23 project list will need to be submitted by July 1, 2022. Public Works staff recommends using the RMRA funds for the next annual slurry seal and resurfacing projects projected for completion in the summer/fall of 2023. Staff has identified the Westlake Street Slurry Seal, the 2022-23 Street Resurfacing project, the 2023-24 Street Resurfacing project, and the 2020- 21 Street Resurfacing Project as projects to be designed and/or constructed in the FY 2022-23 cycle. All projects are identified in the City’s ten-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Fiscal Impact
The approval of this recommendation will satisfy the CTC Project List requirement to receive SB1 funds in the amount of approximately $2.4 million.
Summary/Conclusion
Recommend the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the FY 2022-23 Project List for SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Funds.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

Provided below are descriptions of projects that members of the proposed team have completed in recent years.
Ahwahnee Drive Water, Sewer, And Complete Street Repair Project | City Of Millbrae, Ca
Ahwanhee Drive is an approximately 1,600-foot-long street segment located in a hillside residential neighborhood in the City of Millbrae. Due to the aging utility infrastructure and deteriorating roadway pavement, the City initiated a complete street repair project. Utility work as part of the complete street repair project included replacement of the existing sanitary sewer main, reconnection of sewer laterals, installation of new cleanouts and backflows, relocation of the existing water main, and replacement of water services up to the meter where necessary. The project also included rehabilitation of the existing pavement, installation of ADA compliant curb ramps, and spot repairs of concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk where deficiencies were noted. Finally, the existing streetlights along the corridor were upgraded with new streetlight poles and LED fixtures, new streetlight pull boxes were installed, and a new street light conduit was installed in the roadway. Ed Slintak serves as the Project Manager assisted with Matthew Pi as the Design Engineer and Hatem Ahmed as the Principal in Charge for this Project.

Barrett Avenue Water And Sewer Mains Project | City Of Morgan Hill, Ca The Barrett Avenue Water and Sewer Mains Project in the City of Morgan Hill involved upgrading sewer and water facilities. The project area was approximately 4,200 linear feet along Barrett Avenue and the utilities cross under Highway 101 and the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s Madrone Channel. Within this project area, approximately 3,785 LF of 18” replacement sanitary sewer main and 1,940 LF of 16” replacement water main were installed. Trenchless construction methods were designed to install a 30” steel casing for the sewer main and a 24” steel casing for the water main each with a length of 390 LF under the highway and Water District channel. The replacement sewers were installed using pipe bursting, while new water mains were constructed parallel to the existing using traditional cut and cover. Sanitary sewer manholes were modified to conform to the increased pipe size and sewer laterals were reinstated. Water service connections and fire hydrant connections were also reinstated. CSG Consultants prepared the plans, specifications, and estimate for this project, assisted in obtaining permits, and provided construction support. CSG also provided constructability reviews during design. Ed Slintak served as the Project Manager for this Project.

CSG managed and performed all design work financed by revenue bonds for the Town with a construction value of approximately $15 million.
CSG worked closely with the Town to evaluate and prioritize water facilities most in need of upgrades to be financed by the bond measure. CSG prepared the construction documents for this multi-year program.
Improvements included replacement of two 0.5M gallon water tanks, addition of pump stations to increase fire flow capacity and the replacement of over 7 miles of water mains through the curvilinear hillside streets of Hillsborough. The new mains were primarily 12” cast iron pipes. Meter upgrades and hydrant replacements were also part of the project. CSG also performed Construction Management and inspection functions for the projects.

CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF DALY CITY
SAN DIEGO, SANTA CRUZ, AND GUADALUPE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT 5 Project Approach, Organization, &
Local Presence
Daly City (City) is proposing to implement the San Diego, Santa Cruz, and Guadalupe Water Main Replacement Project (Project) to improve water service, increase water main reliability, reduce water loss and the number of main breaks in the service area. The total length of the project is approximately 1,600 linear feet (LF) and will include both 6” and 8” replacement water main. CSG is highly experienced with design of these types of improvements for
similar projects located in residential streets
utilizing open cut trench method, horizontal
drilling, bore and case and slip-line. CSG is
familiar with the latest American Water Works
Association (AWWA) and Department of
Drinking Water (DDW) standards for water
main installation including Ductile Iron (DI) and
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe.
In preparation of this proposal, and to
familiarize ourselves with the Project, CSG has
reviewed the RFP and City Design Standards,
performed a site visit at the project location,
assembled a high-quality team, discussed
internally to determine the best approach, and
developed viable project alternatives.
Santa Cruz Ave and Guadalupe Ave are
residential streets of single-family homes with
approximately 25ft wide roadway width. San Diego Ave is a residential street of single-family homes with an approximate roadway width of 30ft. All streets have gutter, curb and sidewalk on both sides of the corridor with storm drain, sanitary sewer and water main located in the street, except for Guadalupe Ave where storm drain piping is absent. Existing overhead utilities are running along all streets with overhead service connections spanning the entire corridor. Portions of the streets were observed to be recently slurry sealed.
There is an abandoned 30” water main running along San Diego Ave.
CSG recommends the use of open trench method for installation of water main along all three streets and to forgo a pipeline assessment report. Trenchless methods (horizontal directional drilling, pipe bursting, slip-line, bore and case) were evaluated and found to be of no additional benefit in terms of cost savings, improved constructability, or reduced impact to residents and traffic.
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and pipe bursting (bursting) were evaluated and found to be disadvantageous for the project. Typically, trenchless methods are used to mitigate potential construction impacts by minimizing excavation area and pavement restoration. For this project, trenchless installation methods will still require additional excavation at each service reconnection and hydrant installation negating potential benefits. Also, due to the limited roadway width and multiple below-ground utilities in the street, HDD and bursting methods pose a risk of colliding with existing utilities or damaging them through vibration.
Vibrations may also damage adjacent resident properties leading to claims.
Slip-lining the existing 30” SFWD main was evaluated and found to be difficult because of the need for extensive penetrations of the main to install service saddles or hydrant connections. Also, the structural integrity of the abandoned main is unknown. Bore and case was evaluated and found to be unnecessary since casings are typically needed for railroad crossings, or areas of heavy truck traffic flow, both of which are not present at the project location. If SFPUC has abandoned all rights to the abandoned pipe, removal of the 30” pipe and placing the new main in its location will be an option, although removal of the pipe will increase construction costs.
