Water Storage Tank 8, Dual Pipelines and Multi-Use Access Road The City embarked on the construction of a new water
storage tank to meet growing demand from a major new
housing development. Brelje & Race assisted the City
with negotiating the project scope required to build the tank with the developer. Brelje & Race then provided
peer review of original designs, design services for site plan alterations and construction management for the
installation of the 900,000-gallon welded steel water
storage tank, half-mile underground dual 12-inch and 16- inch water pipelines, half-mile combination access road and multi-use path with a Contech steel and concrete
vehicular bridge and 300 ft long by 22 ft tall soil nail retaining wall. Initial site redesign allowed for future construction of a second water tank on site. Subsequent redesigns responded to site constraints that emerged during construction, realigning the access road/path and other improvements around protected resources. Brelje & Race
provided construction management and inspection services that kept the project on track while navigating complex requirements around protected cultural resources and
bridge construction over jurisdictional wetlands.

Crosstown Trunk Sewer Replacement
City of Santa Rosa
Cobblestone Drive Zone R2 to R4 Water Main Connection
Brelje & Race was selected to design an intertie between water system pressure zones R2 and R4 to correct suboptimal fire protection water flows. A new 10-inch HDPE intertie pipeline spanned approximately 1,100 LF
between Tillmont Way and Cobblestone Drive through
an easement across a private corporate campus. A new
PRV station was installed before the tie-in to maintain separate pressure zones. In addition, in order to isolate the Cobblestone Drive neighborhood water system to create a new pressure zone, approximately 174 LF of 8” diameter
PVC water pipe was installed near the southern end of the Cobblestone Drive loop.
Brelje & Race evaluated two alternative alignments for
the intertie and prepared construction documents for the preferred alignment. Brelje & Race also led environmental compliance, coordinating biological and cultural resource consultants, and preparing an Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration as required under CEQA. Our team
developed exhibits to support the right-of-way acquisition process and provided limited construction administration services.

Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg Town of Windsor
Brelje & Race has provided engineering design and construction management services to the Town of Windsor for the past 40 years. We have emphasized a high level of professional standards and service to our Client over these years.
Brelje & Race completed comprehensive Master Plans for the Town of Windsor in 1989 and in 2001, initiating the conversion of the wastewater treatment plant from secondary to tertiary, the creation of 80 million gallons of additional effluent storage, a significant change in the discharge location, and construction of an extensive recycled water irrigation system. EIRs on both of the Master Plans were certified, and the plans were used as a roadmap to develop the treatment plant and recycled water system. During that period the Town nearly tripled in size. The treatment plant, storage, discharge and recycled water irrigation systems, all designed by Brelje & Race, have proven to be very reliable; discharge violations are virtually nonexistent. Facilities include UV light disinfection, which has eliminated the requirement for chlorine disinfection, resulting in a safer working environment for operations staff and an effluent that is free of trihalomethanes (THMs). Brelje & Race has prepared several Reports of Waste Discharge and negotiated discharge permits with the Regional Board on behalf of the Town. Preliminary design reports were prepared for conversion of aerated ponds to extended air activated sludge. The report included an in-depth review of sequencing batch reactors and oxidation ditch technology; filter pilot testing and selection; selection of biosolids treatment and disposal alternatives; and comparison of disinfection alternatives. Engineering reports complying with the requirements of Title 22 were prepared for certification of the UV light disinfection system by the State Health Department and for the recycled water system.
Windsor’s wastewater treatment plant features flow equalization, automatic screening and grit removal, Biolac extended air activated sludge treatment with nitrogen removal, diurnal flow equalization, deep circular secondary clarifiers, chemical addition and flocculation facilities, tertiary clarifiers, continuous backwash moving bed upflow DynaSand filters and UV light disinfection. Brelje & Race designed the Town’s 80 million gallon effluent storage Pond No.7 and four effluent pump stations. Pressure control at the pump stations and in different distribution systems is achieved variously through a gravity surge control tank, large hydropneumatic tanks, and variable frequency drive pumping. An extensive recycled distribution system including more than 5 miles of 20-inch diameter pipe supplies water to more than 1400 acres of varied rural and urban uses.
Pond 5 Berm Repair
Constructed in 1971, Pond 5 holds 10% of the Town
wastewater treatment plant’s total effluent capacity and prevents the discharge of up to 14.4 MG of wet weather
flows on an annual basis. In 2019 a leak was observed
on the east embankment of Pond 5. Considering several
preliminary design alternatives, Brelje & Race determined that most cost-effective solution would be to install 1,400 LF of bentonite enhanced soil liner along the east and
west berms. This was accomplished through excavation
of existing slope protection and interior embankment
soils, refilling with a mix of the exiting soil and bentonite, compacting the backfill, and replacement of the rock slope protection.
Brelje & Race prepared plans, specifications, and estimates for the improvements, assisted with bidding, and provided construction management and inspection. Brelje & Race
ushered the project through an accelerated schedule to
ensure construction was complete before the start of the winter rainy season.

Cabernet Road Culvert Replacement
The City engaged Brelje & Race to prepare bid-ready
construction documents for the replacement of twin
corrugated metal stormwater culverts under Cabernet
Road. The failing culverts threatened the structural integrity of the road and caused significant land subsidence where the culverts daylighted into the open channel. The project replaced the culverts, converted the section experiencing significant land subsidence into an open channel,
and replaced the road surface adjoining the drainage
improvements.
The project was designed and built on an accelerated
timeline. Notice to proceed for design was issued in June of 2024 and construction documents, bid, award, and
construction were all completed by the end of September 2024. Services included land surveying and coordinating approvals from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg Scope of Work
Brelje & Race has consistently demonstrated the ability to provide superior quality consulting civil engineering and land surveying services. Our capabilities have made us a trusted partner to local agencies on a broad range of improvement projects. Specifically, our staff has the expertise to take on projects in the civil engineering and land surveying areas noted in the City’s RFP. We commonly engage subconsultants with expertise in structural
engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental
engineering related to environmental site assessment and remediation, and geotechnical engineering and materials testing when they are components of projects that we lead.
General Approach
No matter what category of service is being provided, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
• Accurate determination of project scope during the
early stages of the project.
• Select project team members that are experienced
with the work anticipated and that compliment the
capabilities of other members of the team.
• Conduct sufficient research to identify existing
conditions that have a potential to interfere with the
project objectives.
• Develop a reasonable project schedule and budget.
• Maintain regular communications with City staff and
subconsultants.
• Produce a complete, clear, and concise final product.
Each assignment will require a unique scope and approach.
The Project Manager will work closely with the City’s
Project Manager on each new assignment to arrive at the best possible methodology for successful implementation.
Cost Control and Scheduling
Establishing a project scope and budget are integral to every project we do. The project is discussed in depth with the client to provide a firm project understanding from which tasks can be derived. Staff and hours are assigned to each task based on consideration of specific challenges of the current project. Budgets from subconsultants are requested, if required, and reviewed for thoroughness
and appropriateness of cost. Based on these factors,
final budget estimates are presented to the client for their consideration.
Once approved, our project budgets are monitored
regularly and tracked closely. In addition to serving our clients’ needs, our meticulous budget management allows us to meet the rigorous reporting requirements mandated by State and Federal funding agencies.
Scheduling is often critical to project success. Our Project Managers are adept at evaluating the project needs and the client’s desired timeframe against our staffing resources and availability to prepare a schedule that is realistic yet meets project goals.
Preliminary Engineering Studies
Engineering planning services include a variety of tasks assisting the City to identify and develop appropriate
capital improvements to City infrastructure, identify the expected costs to fund those improvements, and help to
ensure the City receives the appropriate level of service and equipment for their planned expenditures. Our
services may include master planning reports such as
for water and wastewater systems, feasibility studies and engineering economic analyses, computerized hydraulic
modeling of water or recycled water distribution systems, sewer and storm drain modeling, and peer review and
value engineering of projects designed by others. Our team has also assisted with rate studies, the development of assessment districts, and engineering tasks in support of funding capital projects. Each of these services involves a wide range of potential approaches specific to the task at hand. Brelje & Race often performs these services for our local public agency clients.
Engineering Design Services
Brelje & Race employs engineering expertise, sound
planning, excellent communications and big-picture
awareness in our approach to capital improvement project design. We use these guiding principles along with the basic steps below to deliver high-quality construction documents that often exceed the client’s expectations.
Preliminary Design and Permitting
1. Review any available background and historical
information on the project, including geotechnical
assessments, conditional use permit and design review
approval, environmental documentation and other
data provided by City staff. Check project description
for consistency with approved environmental
documents.
2. Prepare for and attend a project kick-off meeting
with the City and design team members. Provide
schedule of tasks that identifies key milestones.
3. Review project site to observe conditions and
17 Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers
Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg discuss potential difficulties including sensitivity of surrounding property owners to the project.
4. When necessary, coordinate design level geotechnical and hazardous material evaluations of the site and
proposed improvements and coordinate preparation
of reports detailing the findings.
5. Conduct field surveys and develop a site topographic plan for use as a project base plan.
6. Check existing record information relative to parcel boundaries, easements and rights-of-way that may be
affected by the project.
7. Review requirements associated with any public
agency review and approval processes (Regional
Water Quality Control Board, Department of Water
Resources, Division of Drinking Water, etc.).
8. Prepare preliminary improvement plans developed
to a 30% level and submit plans along with a design
memorandum and preliminary estimate of probable
construction cost for review and comment by
City staff. Design memorandum generally includes
elements such as special design considerations, any
right-of-way, easement, or boundary issues, permit
requirements, constraints and other considerations
stemming from environmental review.
9. Investigate potential conflicts with existing utilities and identify locations where potholing may be
recommended.
10.Prepare for and attend a design review meeting
to discuss preliminary project findings and
recommendations.
Construction Documents Preparation
1. Incorporate City staff document review comments
and design review meeting discussions into project
design.
2. Address any utility conflicts discovered during the
preliminary design phase.
3. Prepare an index of drawings expected to be required for the final construction documents package.
4. Perform all design calculations and engineering
analysis necessary and prepare improvement plans for
the project. Submit plans for review and comment to
the City at the 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% completion
levels.
5. Prepare draft technical specifications and submit
with the 60% completion level plans. Update and
submit technical specifications and include contract
documents with the 90% and 100% completion level
plans.
6. Incorporate recommendations made in the
geotechnical report.
7. Update the estimate of probable construction costs at the 60%, 90% and 100% completion level and submit
with improvement plans.
8. Prepare an estimate of working days necessary to
construct the project at the 60% and 90% completion
levels.
9. Prepare for and attend design review meetings
associated with the 60% and 90% completion levels.
10.Prepare submittal documents packages and assist City with obtaining any permits and approvals required
from other agencies.
11.Finalize improvement plans, technical specifications and contract documents. Provide stamped and
signed final mylar improvement plans, a stamped and
signed hard copy of the final technical specifications, contract documents and electronic versions of the
final plans and contract documents.
Bidding Assistance
After completion of final improvement plans, technical
specifications and contract documents, we often also
provide assistance during the bidding phase that includes the following tasks:
1. Respond to and maintain a log of questions from
prospective bidders.
2. Prepare addenda or drawing revisions in response to
bidder questions.
3. Attend the pre-bid conference.
Plan Check Review
From our long-gained experience, Brelje & Race has
learned that our clients are better served, and the
project goals are better achieved by providing one highly experienced individual to act as liaison and overall project manager for all City review work and coordinate the
efforts of our team members. By providing familiarity
and continuity, our approach allows our project manager to gain a complete understanding of the City’s internal protocols, priorities, and general expectations. In essence, our project manager becomes an extension of City staff
who can be relied upon to work independently, and be
trusted to reduce the work load of City staff members.
Project Manager Review
Our project manager will be the point of contact for all review work assigned to Brelje & Race by the City. When projects are sent to Brelje & Race for review, the project manager will perform a brief initial review to determine the breadth and scope of the review tasks and then
determine the appropriate staff person to perform the
detailed review. It is anticipated that for most projects, the staff person with the lightest current workload will be assigned in order to expedite the review.
18 Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers
Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg However, for larger projects, or where special
circumstances require particular knowledge, the most
experienced and qualified person will be assigned
regardless of their current workload.
Staff Site Visit, Review & Comments Matrix
Staff assigned to a particular review will immediately
schedule a site visit in order to verify the conditions depicted in the plans and to better understand the specific details of the site. Prior to their visit, they will perform an initial plan review and become familiar with the project details. After their site visit they will complete their review of the plans and calculations and prepare redline mark-ups directly on one set of plans/calculation sheets for return to the City. Additional sets can be marked, or additional copies made, depending on City preferences. Comments
will be as thorough and complete as we can make them
as we feel it is important to get all comments on the plans during the initial review.
Notations provided will be for any item not meeting
the City’s standards, for items omitted, or items needing additional notes or specifications to fully comply with standards. There will not be any subjective commentary, aesthetic or design preference notations. Only objective, enforceable commentary relating to published standard
requirements will be offered. Should our reviewers have questions about the designs or calculations, they will
contact the design engineer directly to have those questions answered. All communications will be logged and notes
taken.
Comments from the plans will be compiled into an Excel
spreadsheet matrix listing various pertinent reference
information such as the sheet or page number the
comment can be found on, the item on the sheet the
comment pertains to (e.g. detail, notes, section, etc.), and the comment will be elaborated on further as compared to the brief notes marked on the plans or calculations. The matrix will be a convenient reference to both the design engineer and to us for ensuring all comments are addressed at the time of the resubmittal.
Quality Assurance & Document Return
The project manager will spend sufficient time to review all comments generated, ensuring they are appropriate,
and follow a standard for uniformity and clarity. Should there be revisions required, the project manager will either prepare the revisions directly, or route the documents back to the reviewer for them to make the revisions, depending on their extent and complexity. After all comments and the matrix are satisfactory, the project manager will prepare a brief cover letter and return all documents to the City.
PDF copies of all documents will be provided.
Second Review
After the design engineer has made corrections and
resubmits for final review, our project manager will hand the resubmitted plans and calculations directly to the
original reviewer. The original reviewer will then proceed to verify the completeness of the documents, ensuring
all original comments were addressed adequately. Unless there are significant changes in the design from the original submittal, the reviewer will focus only on the responses provided to the original comments and that they were fully addressed.
For completed plans (no comments) a brief (standard
format) letter will be prepared and returned to the City.
Should there be comments or items still not addressed,
those will be noted with redlines on the plans and returned to the City, with a brief letter outlining the extent and nature of the comments. Our project manager will review the work for quality assurance prior to sending any
correspondence back to the City.
Peer Review
As the design review and value engineering consultant,
Brelje & Race will check the work of the design engineer and provide recommendations for corrections and
improvements to the design with the intent of lowering
costs, providing a better or more constructible product and avoiding change order work or construction claims during the construction phase. Work will be sequenced much as
Brelje & Race designed improvements to the City of Santa Rosa’s S3 Pump Station Station (left) and designed and managed construction of ADA improvements for Sonoma County Transportation and Public Works in Occidental and Graton (right). 19 Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers
Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg described for plan check review, with successive rounds based on the percent completion of project design and
active coordination with City staff.
Land Surveying
Since our founding in 1954, Brelje & Race has offered
complete land surveying services in the North Bay.
Over the last 70 years we have earned a reputation
for consistently delivering accurate and reliable survey products for our clients. We’re committed to providing
our clients the professional care and service that only fully licensed engineers and land surveyors can provide.
We offer qualified and licensed staff who utilize industry standard technologies like robotic total stations, GPS, digital levels, computer-aided-drafting, and GIS integration.
Our land surveying services for public agency clients
(including municipal public works departments) are
commonly a component of engineering design projects
led by our professional engineering staff. Accordingly, our team has well-established relationships with local agencies throughout the region built over many years of successfully delivering comprehensive and accurate mapping and land
surveying products.
The surveying department at Brelje & Race is truly a fullservice operation. Our land surveyors, survey technicians, field crews, AutoCAD professionals, civil engineers, and specialty subconsultants work together seamlessly to
produce a complete final product. The following details our experience, expertise, and approach:
Topographic Surveys
In preparing topographic surveys we verify horizontal and vertical datum and cross section locations and intervals (if needed), conduct field surveys, and compile mapping conforming to project specifications. Our team performs a quality control review of our finished product including performing a comparison to field photos and/or a field
verification.
Boundary and Right-of-Way Surveys
In performing boundary and right-of-way surveys, we
verify horizontal datum, determine availability and location of control monuments, compile ownership data for
the parcels included within and immediately adjoining
the project area (assessor parcel number, owner’s name, last recorded document number), and obtain copies of
recorded documents and maps that pertain to existing
parcel boundaries and/or right-of-way applicable to project area. Next, we conduct field surveys to locate existing monuments and property corners pertaining to parcel
boundaries and/or right of way. We prepare mapping
of existing boundaries and right-of-way, determine and
map the new right-of-way, and, if needed, prepare legal descriptions and plats for acquisitions.
Preparation of Corner Records or Records of
Survey
We prepare Corner Records or Records of Survey in
accordance with State of California law and any local
jurisdictional standards, submit a draft work product
to County Surveyor for checking, make any requested
revisions and once approved, forward document to County Recorder’s office for filing or recording, as appropriate.
Construction Staking or Verification of
Contractor-Provided Construction Staking
In construction staking or verifying construction staking performed by others, we start by obtaining hard and
electronic copies of improvement plans and information
regarding project control. If no project control is available, we establish the project control network that meets
construction specifications. Where control is available, we field check the control to verify that horizontal and vertical positions match published information. We
perform construction staking as specified in the project construction specifications, or in the case of verification surveys, perform surveys to confirm contractor-provided construction staking conforms to the project construction specifications. Finally, we provide the client point plots and cut sheets for all requested construction staking.
A significant portion of our surveying workload consists of construction surveying. As such, we have become
very adept at managing a varying workload. Our existing notification policy requires two working days’ notice so we do not anticipate a problem with performing services for the City on short notice, if needed. One of the reasons we can do so is that we always maintain a staff of at least two party chiefs, even when our workload only requires a single survey crew. This allows us the capability to immediately double our capabilities without having to engage an
additional party chief through the union hall. Chainmen are typically readily available and if not, apprentices can readily serve as second members on a crew when under the supervision of a party chief.
Brelje & Race offers 70 years of land surveying experience in the North Coast region.
20 Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers
Proposal for On-Call Engineering and Surveying Services • City of Fort Bragg Budget and Schedule of Charges
The time required to complete each project will depend
on the nature and scope of the project. Brelje & Race will respond to all City requests within one week to confirm availability and kick-off establishing the project scope and budget. Our Project Manager will work proactively with
City staff to define achievable project timelines based on City needs and staff availability. We will prioritize time from our Project Manager’s schedule over the two year
contract period to ensure capacity to serve the City. Note that while specific staff will be assigned to each project, the City will benefit from access to Brelje & Race’s staff of over 35 civil engineering, land surveying, and administrative professionals who can step in to support any project that may require additional staffing resources.
Plan Check Timelines
Given our planned approach, we estimate larger initial plan sets can be turned around and back to the City within ten working days (or less) based on the following operations:
• Plans are provided electronically in PDF format
alongside notification of a pending review by City
staff (additional time may be required to transmit
plans if only available in paper format).
• Plan sets and calculations will have a brief initial
review by the project manager and then be assigned
to the appropriate staff member for review. This will
occur by the end of the next business day after the
plans are received. A reviewer’s current workload
will be considered when assigning projects in order
to have the fastest turn-around time. If the project
includes aspects that require review by a particular
person, then the project will be assigned to that
person despite current workloads. This case is likely
Work Schedule
All services for the City will be performed on a time and materials basis based on hourly billing rates. For each City project we anticipate providing a fee estimate alongside a detailed scope of services under a task order agreement.
See current rate schedules for Brelje & Race and our team of specialist subconsultants provided in Appendix B.
to be uncommon as our staff are all capable of
performing most review aspects likely to be needed.
• For most projects, we anticipate needing three to
five days to schedule a site visit, complete the review with redline markups and prepare a written response
matrix with listed items needing correction. Of
course, each project will be different, and depending
upon the thoroughness of the plans submitted, the
review may go very quickly or take more time to
complete.
• The coordinator will do a final review for quality
assurance purposes, and either make corrections
directly or return to the reviewer for corrections as
necessary, and then prepare a cover letter and return
the package to the City. We anticipate the quality
assurance process to take no more than two days.
• Resubmittals turned in after the initial review will
be given directly to the original reviewer and only
checked to ensure the original comments were
addressed. A brief form letter will be prepared and
sent back to the City with our comments regarding
items needing further attention, if necessary. Only
items not addressed adequately will be noted. We
anticipate turning around plans resubmitted for
additional review within two to three days after they
are received unless significant changes have occurred.
Smaller plan sets with only one or two sheets will likely be turned around in three to five days, but all of our planned approach steps will be followed just the same.

KEVIN G. ZUCCO, SE, LEED AP
EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL | PRINCIPAL-IN-CHARGE
Over the course of his 30+ year career in the industry, Kevin has performed structural design and analysis of public and civic structures throughout Northern California, including Mendocino County. He is adept in the planning, design, and management of large- and small-scale capital improvement projects ranging from structural assessments and evaluations to renovations and new construction.
Kevin applies his experience and enthusiasm for the industry to designing build-able and reliable public and essential facility structures with coherent and practical construction documents to meet all architectural design features. Kevin is adept in the use of the California Building Code’s Existing Structures chapter, the International Existing Building Code, California Historic Building Code, and most relevantly ASCE 41. He has evaluated and retrofit many existing buildings for continued occupancy and reuse in both Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy categories. Kevin developed ZFA’s program to use ASCE 41 as a tool for building evaluations. The standards have been applied across multiple jurisdictions to determine the effectiveness of original construction, to identify any structural deficiencies, to provide recommendations for retrofit, and to develop cost estimates for remodel and retrofit construction.
Kevin and ZFA staff are also FEMA trained to assist each other and our communities with weather-related events, hazardous-substance release, medical, terrorism, and threats of violence.
