III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Fortuna Business Improvement District
City Manager Merritt Perry provided a staff report, which included background information about the Fortuna Business Improvement District (FBID) and presented options for the Council to consider is what will happened with FBID moving forward. Nervous about the insurance Certificates that FBID typically supplied for the Downtown Merchant events not being available to the merchants.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Marilyn Strehl, Business owner and member of Fortuna Downtown Merchants – spoke in support of the FBID and spoke to how challenging it was to collect monetary contributions from other merchants for events prior to the FBID. Marilyn outlined all of the successful events that the Downtown Merchants used the FBID assessment funds for, including:
Mother’s Day Charm Walk
First Friday – art to businesses, different clientele in your business Citywide Yard Sale
Apple Harvest Festival
Trunk-or-Treat
Christmas Open House, typically partnered with Lighted truck parade Greens’ Grand Opening Celebration
Draft Special Meeting Minutes 05/12/2022
Kaylin Stainbrook, Executive Director FBID - Stated she was disappointed that the special meeting sounded like a determination for FBID. She has many ideas and is passionate about the work and her role. She thinks FBID could have more active outreach to recruit Board Members that could benefit FBID. Business to business matching so home based businesses can actively participate in core member focused events.
Doug Strehl, Business Owner - Commented on the benefit of FBID.
Racheal Henry, Senior Finance Clerk - Explained to the Council the amount of administrative work that goes into collecting the assessment fees from businesses, especially the City Wide members who do not see the direct benefit for their businesses.
Amber Woodward – Fortuna Chamber Board Member - Spoke in support of an Executive Director acting as a liaison between home based businesses and those in the core areas.
Kaylin Stainbrook, Executive Director FBID – For those members that do not feel like their businesses are being supported through the BID, she thinks there should be more events that focus on smaller and home based businesses. She doesn’t think that the Executive Director position can be successful as a part-time position.
Marilyn Strehl – Likes the idea of an FBID packet for new businesses and explained that the Downtown Merchants is a non-profit that successfully functions as a group. She spoke in support of keeping the Executive Director position.
Renee Lindsay – Fortuna Chamber CEO - The Chamber is here to help; they want to see Fortuna successful. She thought the estimated budget presented by staff was close. She really understands the gap that exists between the downtown core merchants. She thinks there needs to be a point of contact for the BID and there is concern that if the BID comes under the City’s umbrella, that point of contact could be lost. The Chamber and the BID are similar, but provide different support.
The Council provided direction to Staff to schedule a workshop to continue the discussion on what will happen regarding the BID moving forward. Council provided direction to staff to amend the regular Council meeting agenda for 05/16/2022 to include an FBID business item.
VI. ADJOURN

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: September 6, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Ryan Plotz, City Attorney
THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Continue Teleconferenced Public Meetings for City Council and all City Committees, Commissions and Boards Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361, Resolution 2022-25
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting a resolution which, if adopted, would provide the Council and Staff flexibility to utilize virtual public meetings under Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”) when necessary.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Signed into law in September 2021, AB 361 amended the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet via teleconference (or other virtual means) during a proclaimed state of emergency in accordance with relaxed teleconference procedures, rather than under the Brown Act’s more onerous teleconference rules.
Under AB 361, the City may utilize the less onerous teleconferencing provisions when a public meeting is held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor and the Council finds that (i) State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or (ii) the legislative body finds that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
As set forth in the proposed resolution, circumstances continue to exist that allow the City Council to utilize the less onerous teleconferencing provisions under AB 361. In particular, the state of emergency initially proclaimed by the Governor has not been rescinded and remain in place and the California Department of Public Health continues to recommend measures to promote social distancing.
Although the City Council has returned to in-person meetings, Staff anticipates the need to utilize virtual meetings, from time-to-time, based on changed circumstances. Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Council continue to make the required findings under AB 361 for so long as those findings can be made and to authorize the City Manager to utilize virtual meetings under AB 361 when necessary or desirable according to law. For this reason, Staff will include an agenda item on the consent calendar at least once per month for the Council to consider re-affirming the Consent Item 4d
findings in the proposed resolution to provide Staff and Council flexibility in conducting public meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no current fiscal impact associated with approving the findings in Resolution 2022-25.

FROM: Casey J. Day, Chief of Police
THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Supplemental Budget Request to Purchase a Storage Container for the City's Animal Control Facility
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) for the Purchase of a CONNEX shipping container for dry storage at the City’s Animal Control/Kennel Facility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In July of 2020, the Chief of Police inspected all City facilities utilized by the police department.
The animal control facility commonly referred to as the “kennel”, was found to be in need of minor construction upgrades and increased storage capacity. Staff has determined that the procurement of one, CONNEX style metal container will resolve existing storage and organizational problems.
The CONNEX box container will replace the existing A-Frame canopy covering the adjacent storage area and prevent further water related damage to the permanent building structure by curbing drainage and water runoff from the existing A-Frame canopy.
The estimated cost for the purchase of the storage container is $9,000.00. The estimated remaining $1000.00 will be used to cover associated delivery fees and to install venting and electrical capabilities within the storage container. Staff received updated quotes during the week of August 15, 2022 to confirm the costs. The CONNEX box will be purchased from the company doing business as: Don’s Rent-All. Although Don’s Rent-All was not the lowest bid, it was the only bid for readily available equipment, which included the expected equipment functions being sought by the City. The purchase of the storage container is an allowable use of Asset Seizure funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase of the storage container and applicable delivery and construction materials will cost the City $10,000.00. Staff recommends that $10,000.00 come from the Asset Seizure Fund (180- 5500-2000).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve a Supplemental Budget Request for the purchase of one CONNEX storage container utilizing funds from the City’s Asset Seizure Account. Consent Agenda vote.

FROM: Brendan Byrd, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Award Professional Services Contract for the 12th Street and Highway 101 Interchange Modernization Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive staff presentation and recommendation and authorize the City Manager to award a Professional Services Contract to complete Preliminary Design and Environmental Documentation (PA&ED) for the 12th Street and Highway 101 Interchange Modernization Project to GHD, for a total contract value not to exceed $950,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2016, the City completed the Highway 101, Fortuna Downtown and Riverwalk Area Complete Streets Planning Study. The study was a multi-agency effort with the goal of providing an assessment of design alternatives to improve connectivity between the City’s downtown and Riverwalk area. In addition to improving the general connectivity for multi-model transportation, the goal of the assessment was also to identify projects that would increase the vehicle level of service for the US Highway 101 interchanges with 12th Street and Kenmar Road, and at both locations roundabouts were identified as the preferred design alternative.
In 2021, the Humboldt County Association of Governments indicated that there would be funding availability in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for 2022. This was welcome news given that the previous cycle (2020) was not able to program funding for any local agency projects, as the entire amount in that cycle was allocated for the Caltrans Indianola Interchange Project. After reviewing the funding opportunity and the list of priority City projects, staff identified the 12th Street Interchange Improvement project as the project for which to apply for STIP funding.
To position the City for the opportunity, staff worked to develop a Caltrans-approved Project Study Report for the 12th Street Interchange. This report was completed in late 2021, and was subsequently used to secure $950,000 in grant funding from the STIP to complete PA&ED phase of work. The scope of work will include the northern interchange of Highway 101, 12th Street, and Newburg Road, in addition to the pedestrian crossing of Highway 101. Due to overall funding limitations, the interchange improvements on the south side of the highway, which includes Riverwalk and Dinsmore Drive, were not included in the funding application.
Business Agenda Item 5a
With funding for PA&ED identified and approved by the California Transportation Commission, the City Public Works Department released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for PA&ED in March of 2022. The proposal submission deadline closed on April 13th, at which time the City received a single proposal from GHD, Inc. The proposal has been included as Attachment A of the staff report. The proposal includes all tasks that are necessary to complete the work to Caltrans requirements, and Caltrans staff have reviewed and concurred with the scope provided.
GHD is well qualified to complete this project and currently serves as the City’s on-call traffic engineer. Additionally, GHD is the engineering consultant currently under contract to complete the same phase of engineering design work for the City’s Kenmar and US 101 Interchanges, an effort that is due to be complete by early 2023. GHD’s fee estimate to complete the work is within the City’s established STIP budget, and the projected completion date is mid-year 2024.
Because the City received only a single proposal to complete the work, the City was required to complete a Public Interest Finding (PIF) form and to submit it to Caltrans approval. The accepted PIF document has been included as Attachment B.
Upon approval of award, staff will begin contracting with GHD, and work on the project would begin in October.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project is fully funded by a STIP grant received through Caltrans in the amount of $950,000.
The full amount has been budgeted in Fund 270 for the fiscal year 2022/23. Additional budget from this funding source will be allocated in subsequent years to cover the ongoing cost of the project, which is anticipated to be completed in mid-2024.
The STIP grant received from Caltrans requires no local funds or staff time match.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff
2. Open Public Comment
3. Close Public Comment
4. Authorize the City Manager to award a Professional Services Contract to GHD for the 12th Street and Highway 101 Interchange Modernization Project for a total contract value not to exceed $950,000. Voice vote.

Re: Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services for the 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project
Dear Mr. Byrd and Members of the Evaluation Committee,
For over 70 years, US 101 and the 12th Street Interchange has divided the City of Fortuna (City), isolating the Riverwalk Area from other parts of the community. The existing interchange represents an antiquated design that is further complicated by a lack of non-motorized facilities on the overcrossing, the skewed nature of the S. Fortuna Boulevard and Newburg Road intersection, and the height-restricted bridge overcrossing. Additionally, planned development in the community will exacerbate congestion, degrade safety, and further impact the quality of life. The 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project is critical to addressing these near- and long-term issues, and once completed, the project will transform the City-highway interface, improve traffic operations, alleviate traffic congestions, provide new non-motorized connectivity, and accommodate the City’s anticipated long-term growth. The Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase is an exciting step forward for this priority project, and one that GHD is excited to be a part of!
Through our initial work on the project and multiple conversations with trusted City staff, we understand that the preferred design is a five-leg roundabout at the 12th Street/US 101 northbound ramps that incorporates a realigned Newburg Road. We also understand that the project includes a Class 1 bike path across the highway overcrossing which would be accomplished by either widening the existing bridge or providing a new separate structure.
To achieve a successful completion of this phase of the project, the City of Fortuna needs a consultant that understands the project’s unique setting, has a proven strategy for identifying project specific challenges and opportunities, and has a successful record developing effective, innovative, and cost-effectives solutions on similar projects on the state highway and with Caltrans oversight. GHD’s team precisely offers the combination of qualifications, location, and experience needed to complete your project.
Given our industry-leading roundabout experience in California and our familiarity with the project and City, GHD presents a team uniquely positioned to guide the City of Fortuna’s project from the PA&ED phase through design, right-of-way and construction. A few of our Team’s advantages include:
» Unmatched on and off system roundabout expertise
For over 20 years, GHD has earned a reputation for planning and delivering high-quality and smoothly operating roundabout projects on and off the state highway system. We have been involved with well over 200 roundabout planning and/or design projects and no one but Caltrans has delivered more on-system roundabouts. We have prepared Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) documents, studies, designs, and environmental documents for local agency projects located on the state highway in numerous Caltrans Districts. We have also been retained by Caltrans to provide ICE and roundabout training to Caltrans District staff, in addition to peer reviewing Caltrans roundabout designs. We plan to use this knowledge to develop an award-winning project that will make the City of Fortuna and community proud.

GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 2 » Unparalleled project knowledge and understanding
The GHD staff presented in the following proposal embodies a deep familiarity with this interchange modification project, as many were involved with the development of the 2016 Highway 101, Fortuna Downtown and Riverwalk Area Complete Streets and Connectivity Planning Study which was the foundation for the City’s 2021 Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS). Our involvement with the initial study has afforded us an unparalleled opportunity to understand the project goals, challenges, and opportunities, and it allows us to be able to start work on this project on day one.
» A proven and local team who can lead all project phases, minimally affecting City staff Our team has roots in this project and community, working on various transportation projects with the City of Fortuna. Beyond steering all phases of the project, GHD will seamlessly coordinate with Caltrans, managing the project’s schedule and supporting the City’s efforts to secure additional funding for subsequent phases of work.
We will also comprehensively lead the City through the initial studies and design, approvals, and environmental documentation process, allowing City staff to continue serving the public without being responsible for taxing project administration. Your client experience is a top priority for us! » Extensive experience in Caltrans processes, funding, and approvals to keep the project on schedule Caltrans approvals are critical to keeping the project on schedule and keeping the project on schedule is critical to securing future funding. Our team’s Project Manager, Josh Wolf, PE, QSD/P, is locally based in Eureka and has collaborated with the City of Fortuna on numerous projects over the last 15 years. Josh also led the planning study for the 12th Street and Kenmar Interchanges and is managing the PA&ED phase for the City’s Kenmar Interchange improvement project. In addition, Kamesh Vedula, PE, TE (Project Director), Ronald Boyle, PE (Quality Control), Daniel Kehrer, PE, QSD/P (Roundabout Design Lead), and Andrea Hilton (Environmental Lead) have delivered numerous transportation roadway projects within Caltrans’ right-of-way, including award-winning roundabouts at highway interchanges. Together they will anticipate all needs in complying with Caltrans, taking the lead for the City in agency coordination, and supporting the City with outreach for this highly visible project.
To support an expeditious and seamless delivery of the project while meeting our Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) commitments, GHD hand selected the following subconsultants with whom we have successfully teamed in the past, to bring additional resources, unique expertise, and local knowledge to this project:
» Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc. – Structural Engineering Support » Bajada Geosciences Inc. (DBE) – Geotechnical Engineering » Monument (DBE) – Right-of-Way
» Roscoe and Associates – Cultural Resources

Similar Experience
For over 70 years in northern California, GHD has led the design and development of numerous high-profile, fast-track transportation engineering and environmental projects.
Sensitive to both community and agency concerns, our team is led by project managers with decades of experience steering transportation projects throughout Caltrans’ California State Highway System (SHS), particularly roundabouts.
We are adept at large project delivery for comprehensive and publicly impactful efforts, having acted as an extension of City staff to deliver similar projects on numerous occasions.
An example of this is our ongoing work on the US 101/Kenmar Interchange project where we are leading the PA&ED phase of the project.
Roundabout Experience
Modern roundabouts save energy, advance motorist safety, reduce adverse motor vehicle environmental impacts by
reducing emissions, and they increase capacity and reduce delay. They are also complicated to design and build; often the savings come not in initial cost but in the savings in operational and maintenance expenses, accident severity and frequency, and the reduction in fuel consumption
(energy) and motor vehicle emissions.
Through our decades of experience, GHD provides the
highest quality roundabout planning and design services in our industry. We are proficient and creative in our approach.
We have been involved in 200+ roundabouts and over 25
Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) projects, from Redding to Riverside County, usually involving Caltrans interchanges and roundabouts. In Section 5 of this proposal, we have highlighted roundabout projects completed in the past
five years where we encountered similar features, Caltrans involvement, and opportunities for innovation to those we’ll find in the 12th Street/US 101 Interchange project.
Familiarity with State and Federal
Procedures
The Caltrans oversight and approval processes can be
detrimentally confusing, bogging down projects, and
risking project funding. We have worked directly with local jurisdictions, including the City of Fortuna, and understand their internal processes, affording us the unique perspective of the public process while building long-lasting relationships GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 5 with Caltrans environmental, local assistance, right-of-way, and construction oversight staff. We are on a first name basis with the Caltrans District 1 Local Assistance staff and are intimately familiar with their internal processes and expectations. This includes a deep understanding of Caltrans design requirements, design review process, construction methodologies, and funding programs, which will streamline reviews and approvals, and help support schedule
adherence.
We have successfully assisted many local municipalities through state and federal transportation funding processes and have been involved with successful audits from both Caltrans and FHWA. This experience will help the City
comply with regulatory and procedural requirements and
successfully deliver their project
Our familiarity with the Caltrans process saves time and we look forward to the advantage this brings to your
project.
For this project, GHD has assembled a team with the
experience and knowledge of Caltrans’ Project Development Procedures Manual (PDPM), the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), the Highway Design Manual (HDM),
AASHTO Policy Manual, the California MUTCD, and the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Roundabout Guide.
Our decades of local experience managing, designing, and delivering state and federally funded projects through the Caltrans process, combined with the added expertise of our subconsultants, demonstrates that no one understands the Caltrans processes better than GHD’s team.

3. | Project Understanding, Approach &
Scope of Work
Project Understanding
We understand that the City of Fortuna seeks professional engineering and environmental services associated with
the Project Approvals and Environmental Documentation
(PA&ED) phase of project development for the 12th Street and Highway 101 Interchange project. We also understand that the City may be interested in retaining the same consultant team for the subsequent PS&E, ROW, and Construction
Engineering (CE) phases of work.
The City of Fortuna is bisected by US 101, which parallels the Eel River, and separates the Eel River and the Riverwalk Area from the majority of the City. The existing intersection controls, roadway geometry, and the high volumes of local and regional traffic on 12th Street resulting in poor traffic operations at and near the interchange. Proposed project components include a 5-leg roundabout on 12th Street at the northbound US 101 ramps, modifications to the northbound US 101 on- and offramps, the realignment of Newburg Road, and widening the highway overcrossing bridge or a new standalone structure to accommodate non-motorized facilities.
Purpose and Need – 12th Street Modernization
Purpose Need
» Simplify and improve
navigation and traffic
operations on 12th Street
between Newburg Road and
Riverwalk Drive, including
the 12th Street/US 101
interchange;
» Improve operations, reduce
congestion, minimize
conflicts, and improve
safety at the 12th Street
intersections;
» Improve the local and regional
bicycle and pedestrian
facilities through the 12th
Street/US 101 interchange
area; and
» Create a Gateway into central
Fortuna that incorporates
landscaping and wayfinding.
» Existing and future
poor Level of Service
(LOS) at the 12th Street
intersections during
peak hours as a result
of closely spaced,
stop-controlled
intersections;
» No existing bicycle or
pedestrian facilities
resulting in a barrier to
bicycle and pedestrian
circulation and
connectivity; and
» Intersections lack
directional legibility,
making it difficult for
visitors to access
the City’s existing
amenities.
GHD understands improvements to 12th Street at the US
101 interchange have been a priority project since the City completed a planning study in 2016 and a subsequent PSRPDS in 2021. The planning study was conducted to identify ways to improve access to the Riverwalk area and improve safety for all users (motorized and non-motorized), improve operations, apply complete streets concepts, create an entry statement/gateway, and ready the project for next steps in project development.
Our approach for this project is to build upon past efforts and work with the City and Caltrans to develop a project to transform the interchange into one that supports all modes of travel, including pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed alternative will minimize impacts to the adjacent properties, existing structures, and sensitive environmental areas - all while improving overall transportation operations in and around the interchange.
GHD will approach the project comprehensively, developing environmental and technical studies, preliminary designs, and environmental documentation, and obtaining Caltrans approvals necessary to compete the PA&ED phase of
work in accordance with Chapter 23 (Local Agency STIP
Projects) of the Caltrans policies. The project’s initial scope of work will consist of preparing preliminary environmental studies, engineering studies, preliminary design, CEQA
documentation, and assisting Caltrans with NEPA clearances.
Potential subsequent work includes final design, right of way clearances, and construction support (GHD Construction
Management Teams are available, if requested).
Approach
Navigating Caltrans Requirements
We believe that successful and effective Caltrans
coordination and project delivery is accomplished
through communication and relationship, and by providing exceptional designs, plans, and documents that will
expedite the review process. This process begins with your Management Team of Josh Wolf (Project Manager), Kamesh
Vedula (Project Director), and Ronald Boyle (Quality Control).
Josh has delivered multiple projects in Humboldt County along the state highway system over the past 16 years.
Kamesh is a leading roundabout and ICE expert in California, and Ronald has been delivering interchange projects on the state system for nearly 25 years with roundabouts as a focus for the past 15 years.
The importance of the GHD team cannot be overstated
since the ability to navigate the Caltrans project planning and design process is complex and time consuming, even
more so for roundabout project development. This process has become a widely recognized specialty of GHD. The
GHD team will provide you with the highest quality project management, which will focus on delivering your project as outlined in our Scope of Work, while maintaining the project schedule, and doing so within budget.
GHD also has extensive experience completing NEPA
special studies (e.g., PES, NES, ASR, HPSR, HRER,
BA, VIA, ISA, Location Hydraulic Study, Summary
Floodplain Encroachment Report, etc.) and NEPA/CEQA
documentation, obtaining environmental permits, preparing construction documentation, obtaining permanent or
temporary right of way, coordinating utility relocations, and providing bidding assistance, construction oversight, closeout, and audit support.

US 101 Overcrossing: The existing overcrossing is height restricted and does not meet current seismic standards, therefore a separate bridge crossing for non-motorized users will likely be more cost effective than widening the existing bridge
Mill Site: Planned development, site access, and appropriate design vehicles will need to be considered with the
realignment of Newburg Road, and the proposed roundabout Dinsmore Dr./Riverwalk Dr.: The proposed shared use path will need to terminate at a logical location while also providing connectivity to both Dinsmore Drive and Riverwalk Drive; a crosswalk on Dinsmore Drive should also be considered
Clendenen’s Cider Works: The design will need to ensure access to the property is maintained or enhanced
NCRA corridor: With the transformation of the railroad
corridor to the Great Redwood Trail, the design will need to include connections to and from the future trail
Newburg Road: With the realignment of Newburg Road,
access to residences and businesses will need to be
maintained

7 Additionally, having supported the City of Fortuna with development of the planning study and PSR-PDS, we are
deeply familiar with the project site, constraints, needs, and challenges (please refer to Figure 1 for some key
project considerations). Through this experience, we have established a strong working relationship with the City that will only continue to serve as a catalyst for successful communication and collaboration moving forward.
Schedule Compliance
To facilitate the schedule, we propose to accomplish this project within four (4) phases:
» First, refine roundabout concepts for review by the City and other stakeholders and meet with Caltrans to secure their cooperation and buy-in
» Second, prepare and submit the TOAR/ ICE for review and approval by Caltrans
» Third, prepare Geometric Review Drawings (GRD), and
define the environmental study limits for review by the City and Caltrans
» Fourth, prepare all of the required technical studies and reports. These studies and reports will be individually reviewed and finalized throughout the delivery process
Underpinning this approach will be multi-tasking the longerlead time items to ensure the multitude of incremental work products come together. This methodical approach will limit delays as the project progresses, and shows your schedule is achievable by the GHD team.
Technical Approach
The following sections outline our Technical Approach to some key aspects of the project:
Roundabout Design Process
Designing a roundabout is different than designing a
signalized intersection. Unlike a traffic signal where capacity is primarily determined by the number of lanes and cycle length, a roundabout’s capacity and functionality are
determined by many factors ranging from lane widths,
locations of curbs, striping and signing, sight distances, view angles, inscribed diameter, entry deflection, entry angles, lighting and even the landscaping. These are all important factors in creating an environment in which the driver, pedestrian and bicyclist cooperate to safely and efficiently move through the intersection. While there are ways to
quantify most of these parameters, it takes a skilled designer to optimize the design by blending each of these parameters within the context of the project and goals of the community.
Roundabouts therefore require designing based upon
principals as opposed to simply applying standards. The interrelationship of geometrics and other physical features to the capacity and safety of the intersection is a specialty within GHD in which we interweave analysis and design skills.
The traditional separation between traffic operations analysis, geometric design, and civil detailing is no longer valid as the designer must understand the interconnections, trade-offs, and opportunities inherent with roundabout design.
For projects on the state highway system, roundabout design generally follows a three (3) step process as outlined below:
1. Preliminary roundabout assessment performed
during the PSR stage. In the PSR stage, roundabout
analysis and concepts are developed to understand if a
roundabout is a feasible solution for the current location.
Once the analysis confirms that is the case, a preliminary roundabout concept is developed that identifies the
preliminary geometry with respect to lanes and an
approximate footprint.
In early 2016, working with the City of Fortuna, GHD
assisted in the preparation of a preliminary study that evaluated roundabouts amongst other alternatives for
these intersections (the results of this study were the basis of the 2021 PSR-PDS that was developed for the
Figure 1 Key project considerations
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 10 project). The primary goal the initial study was to identify potential improvements to alleviate the congestion
and enhance the safety for all road users present and
generations to come, while eliminating the need for
the costly overcrossing bridge replacement. The initial study concluded that a roundabout was the most costeffective alternative for this location.
2. Roundabout Operations and Geometric Design
Refinement performed during the PA&ED stage. The
optimization of the roundabout is done during the PA&ED stage of the Caltrans approval process. During this stage, the initial concept developed in Step 1 is further refined to optimize “fast paths” and provide a “safer” and high functioning roundabout. Under this stage, the horizontal geometry is defined, and the roundabout footprint is
cleared through the environmental process. In essence,
the roundabout will be designed to:
» Match capacity to traffic demand
» Operations and safety/driver acceptance derived
from geometric optimization
» Improve Pedestrian/Bike Safety and Connectivity
» Ensure that the on-ramps and off-ramps are
designed to Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM)
requirements
Since the issue of the RFP by the City, GHD began the
optimization process. In Figure 2 on the next page, you will find an image presenting the partially optimized
concept.
3. Further refinement through the plan preparation
stage (PS&E). During this stage, refinements with respect to vertical geometric elements are performed and
construction plan sheet sets are prepared. Signing and way finding is a critical step that is undertaken during this stage.
The ability for travelers to make safe decisions and
maneuvers is all a function of spatial separation
and proper driver notification (curbs, landscaping,
hardscapes, signage, and pavement markings). Proper
signing, when considered as part of the geometrics,
can also improve the operation of the system by
improving lane-balance (vehicle distribution by lane). We understand the importance of this aspect of the design.
Bridge Overcrossing Alternatives
Accommodating non-motorized users’ connectivity across
the overcrossing is one of the most challenging, and critical aspects of the project. To tackle this challenge, GHD has partnered with Biggs Cardosa. During the PA&ED phase,
three potential alternative structure concepts that could be considered:
1. Replace the existing 12th Street overcrossing with a wider structure. Since the existing bridge is owned by
Caltrans, replacement of the structure would not qualify for Highway Bridge Program funding. As a result, we do
not propose to consider this alternative.
2. Widen the existing overcrossing. Bridge widening
typically consists of installing new foundations and
bridge columns, extending the existing abutments, and
bent caps and new precast concrete girders and castin-place concrete deck. The profile and alignment of the new Class I lane would then conform with the existing
roadway, minimizing the footprint of the project and the need for retaining walls and grading at the approaches.
The existing bridge vertical clearance does not meet
the standard requirement of 16’-6”. With some similar
bridge widenings, Caltrans has required that the widened portion meets vertical clearance standards, resulting
in the deck of the widened portion being separate and
higher than the existing deck. Early in the project we
will meet with Caltrans to confirm if they will require correction of this existing deficiency as this could
significantly increase the cost and scope of this project alternative, potentially making it not feasible.
If this project alternative is confirmed to be feasible, we will develop the bridge layout and geometry and a
structure cost estimate for evaluation.
3. Provide a new separate pedestrian structure. On
similar projects, a separate pedestrian bridge has been found to be the preferred alternative that minimizes
the project scope and provides the most flexibility to
accommodate project goals. A separate pedestrian
bridge would be designed to meet all current design
standards and can incorporate proposed future
projects, including locating bents and abutments to
accommodate future interchange improvements and
highway widening and offsetting the new bridge from the existing to accommodate future replacement of the 12th
Street Overcrossing.
In order to provide the required pedestrian bridge’s
18’-6” vertical clearance and the structure depth
of the new bridge, the profile of a new bridge would
likely be between 1’ and 6’ above the existing roadway
profile. The higher profile may result in higher and wider embankments and additional retaining walls, potentially increasing the overall project footprint and cost. The

of travel

transportation capacity
» Provide an aesthetic
community gateway
» Minimize negative
environmental impacts and
enhance the environment,
where feasible
» Meet transportation safety
and flow demands during
construction
» Provide clear, easily
understood messaging for
travelers
The 12th Street roundabout
will be designed to:
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 11 increase in profile can be minimized by reducing span
lengths, particularly with a new bent if there is adequate space in the median and by utilizing a steel truss or tied arch bridge, where much of the structure depth is above the profile. A concrete bridge, which requires a deeper structure, would result in a higher profile, although would likely have a lower structure cost.
Biggs Cardosa will develop the overall geometry,
configuration, and conceptual structure cost for a
number of bridge structure types.
A new bridge has an advantage in that it provides a
relatively easy and low-cost opportunity for aesthetic
enhancements. There is a range of enhancements that can be provided, from simple concrete surface treatments and more elegant railing types to a more distinctive signature structures that highlight the structure. Early identification and incorporation of aesthetic enhancements can
streamline the design and approval process. Biggs
Cardosa’s in-house bridge architect is available to provide support to the project at any stage.
Figure 2 Partially optimized geometrics
» Constructability – To be
feasible, it must be practical to
build the bridge over an active
highway with minimal impact
on general traffic, emergencyresponse operations, and
highway maintenance.
» Maintenance – The longevity
of bridges depends on
maintenance. Practical,
affordable structures depend on
structural types and materials
that minimize the need for
maintenance, while providing
easy access for maintenance
that still may be needed. These
are critical objectives when
your bridge sits above a busy
highway!
» Affordability – Capital costs
are always critical in a world
of competing attentions
and constrained resources.
Our approach is that good
design, both aesthetically and
functionally, is always affordable
in the right hands, and a wise
investment that always pays off
in the long term.

GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 12 Right of Way Approach
The GHD team understands the importance of preparing a
credible right of way cost and schedule projections as part of the decision-making process on all capital improvement projects, especially those with Caltrans oversight. Arriving at a realistic and reliable cost estimate is critical to ensuring that the project will have adequate project funding in place as it advances in project development. To complete this task, GHD has teamed with Monument (DBE), who will work with
the design team and prepare the right of way cost estimates and data sheets for the Project, in accordance with Caltrans requirements. As recommended by FHWA, Monument is
a California Real Estate Broker to oversee and review the preparation of the cost estimates.
Another critical part of the right of way process is to accurately identify the acquisition limits. GHD has extensive experience making sure the right of way needs are properly identified to meet Caltrans standards, accommodate utilities and provide for storm water facilities.
Environmental Approach
To support necessary environmental clearance and future permitting, the environmental approach will first consider the 2016 Environmental Constraints Analysis for the Fortuna Highway 101/Riverwalk Area Connectivity Project, previously completed by GHD. The environmental approach has been
designed to support successful development and approval of a CEQA Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration (ISM/Proposed MND), with the City as the lead CEQA agency, and a NEPA Categorical Exclusion (CE), with Caltrans as the lead federal agency.
As an initial step, GHD will complete a Preliminary
Environmental Study (PES) to identify areas of potential environmental concern. Supporting technical studies
included in the scope of work are based on anticipated likely outcomes of PES review by Caltrans, which will outline NEPA environmental review requirements for the project.
Information reported in the environmental constraints analysis and compiled in the PES, including a brief project description, will then be used as a basis for guiding field investigations, including formal wetland delineations, and sensitive natural communities, including special-status plant species.
The project is not expected to affect Strongs Creek or the Strongs Creek riparian corridor west of Dinsmore Drive.
Similarly, GHD assumes Rohner Creek will also be excluded from the project footprint. Thus, a Biological Assessment and consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act will not be required.
Results from wetland and botanical investigations will be incorporated in the Natural Environment Study (NES) and used as the technical basis of biological impact analysis for the CEQA IS/Proposed MND.
A Minor Visual Impact Assessment will be completed to
evaluate potential visual impacts resulting from project implementation. An Initial Site Assessment (ISA) will also be completed to evaluate site history and potential related environmental hazards. Results from both documents will be used as a technical basis of CEQA analysis in the IS/Proposed MND. While the Eel River is designated Wild and Scenic, it is visually separated from the project area, therefore an extensive analysis regarding impacts to the Wild and Scenic Eel River should not be required.
The City of Fortuna General Plan 2030 requires formal noise studies to ensure compatibility with the City’s Construction Noise Standards for new subdivisions, PUD’s, and other large developments. GHD assumes the proposed project is not
considered to be a large development project; thus a noise study is not proposed. However, the environmental approach assumes the City will conduct early outreach to adjacent properties, including Clendenen’s Cider Works and residences on Newburg Road, to discuss the project with GHD’s technical support. Based on GHD’s previous correspondence, the
Clendenen’s understand the need for the project and are supportive of the project and the City’s efforts.
Early public outreach to Clendenen’s Cider Works, Sequoia Gas, other nearby residents and businesses will be critical to gaining project support and educating the public on
anticipated construction impacts and post-construction
operational changes, including noise. Early engagement with the community will also benefit the public comment period during circulation of the CEQA IS/Proposed MND.
Cultural resource investigations will be conducted to meet federal standards (Archaeology Survey Report (ASR) and
Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR)) and will also be used as a technical basis for CEQA impact analysis as well as federal National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 compliance, with Caltrans serving as the lead federal agency. A review of the vicinity indicates the presence of several cultural and archaeological resources. The historic Clendenon Cider Works and orchard is located at the
northwestern edge of the project area. Overall, there is the indication of a moderate sensitivity for pre-contact and historical era resources in the project area. These archaeological and historical resources will be evaluated through the project’s ASR and HPSR.
The outcome of this environmental approach will result in final approved CEQA and NEPA environmental documents.
Technical information reported in special studies and
supporting investigations can also be used by the City to support requirements for environmental permitting, to occur in a future phase of the project.
Technological Approach
From prior engagements with Caltrans, GHD understands
that each district, project manager, and project can be held to varying degrees of Caltrans’ digital and technological requirements. Managing project data from inception to asbuilt documentation is critical for the submittal and review process. GHD’s highly organized data management structure and technically proficient document controllers will be able to track and control each document, figure, exhibit, report, calculation, and model, ensuring the most pertinent and accurate data is readily available at the project’s staff’s fingertips. This data structure will allow the project to seamlessly transition from the PA&ED phase to the eventual PS&E phase.
GHD will set up a collaborative environment for all members on the project, regardless of which firm they originated from, to allow the team to function as one cohesive unit. This collaborative environment will reduce the coordination time between firms, ensure every firm is working with the same upto-date data, and provide an overall smoother delivery and review process.
Working with Caltrans requires expertise in both Autodesk’s AutoCAD Civil 3D for the 3D design and Bentley’s
Microstation for the plan sheet generation. Our team is well GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 13 versed in both platforms and have successfully delivered projects to Caltrans using both software suites. Autodesk and Bentley software, due to being direct competitors,
have inherent incompatibilities that need to be considered during the design process. GHD has advanced techniques to mitigate this incompatibility while effectively delivering the project in the Caltrans’ desired format.
Scope of Work
The following Scope of Services outlines Tasks necessary to complete the PA&ED phase of the 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project. Our Scope of Services has been
developed based upon the Request for Proposal (RFP), visits to the project site, our expertise in roundabout design, and our experience on similar projects. If requested, GHD can also provide a scope for the PS&E, ROW, and CON phases of the project.

Task 4.8: Preliminary Geotechnical Analysis
Bajada Geosciences will provide geotechnical engineering support relative to preliminary structures (bridge widening or stand-alone bridge) design for the project. The intent of the geotechnical assessment will be to provide a Preliminary Foundation Report to support the Structures Advanced
Planning Study (APS). The report is intended to provide the design team with basic geotechnical information relative to the proposed structure foundation (but not designlevel data, which will be generated during the PS&E phase).
This preliminary phase is to be completed using existing information (Caltrans as-builts and log of test borings, for example), to the extent feasible.
Services provided by Bajada will conform to the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual - Foundation Reports for Bridges
(2021) standard of practice for the Structure Preliminary Geotechnical Report (SPGR). In accordance with the SPGR standards, no subsurface exploration is proposed for this preliminary study.
This task will compile relevant existing, available geotechnical information for the project. That information will include:
» Existing Logs of Test Borings (LOTB) and other As-built data for the existing 12th Street/Highway 101 and 12th
Street/Strongs Creek bridges
» LOTBs and As-built data for other relevant nearby
structures
» Local and regional geologic maps and reports
» Fault & seismic hazards maps
» Historical aerial photographs
» Bridge inspection records for the 12th Street
overcrossing
Bajada will visit the project site to observe site topography, surface water and drainage conditions, cuts and fills, and current land use and improvements that may affect the
design of the proposed project such as existing structures, facilities, and utilities.
Using the above information, we will evaluate the following:
» Site surface conditions
» Geologic conditions
» Estimated depths to groundwater
» Seismic sources

Task 5.1 Products/Deliverables
Draft and Final PES form and attachments.
Task 5.2: Wetland Delineation
GHD will delineate wetlands using a three-parameter
approach (USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual [USACE
1987], and Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast Region [USACE 2010]). As the project is not located within the coastal zone boundary, 1-parameter coastal wetlands will not need to be delineated or considered.
Utilizing GPS capability on a high accuracy Trimble handheld Global Navigation Satellite System device, the GHD wetlands team will investigate the project area to map wetland
boundaries that meet the definition of USACE. The wetlands delineation will focus on areas identified as potential wetlands in the 2016 Environmental Constraints Analysis for the
Fortuna Highway 101/Riverwalk Area Connectivity Project.
Vegetation and soil data will be collected at transects across the presumed wetland boundaries with two plots (upland/ GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 18 wetland) per transect (intermediate plots may be placed without collection of data as appropriate).
Soil pits will be dug to approximately 18 inches. Data on soil color, texture and redoximorphic features will be collected.
Data on hydrologic conditions will be collected if observed.
Vegetation data collection will consist of listing the five dominant species at each plot. The species will then be classified as to whether or not they are wetlands indicators, using the most current standard reference for plant wetlands indicators: National Wetland Plant List: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast 2012 Final Regional Wetland Plant
List (Lichvar 2012). The list classifies plants based on the probability that they would be found in wetlands, ranging from Obligate (almost always in wetlands), Facultative/wet (67% to 99% in wetlands), Facultative (34% to 66% in wetlands), Facultative/up (1% to 33% in wetlands) to Non- indicator (less than 1% in wetlands). Plants not listed are included in the uplands category. If 50% or greater of the dominant plant species at each plot are classified as either Obligate (OBL), Facultative/wet (FACW), or Facultative (FAC), the vegetative mix is determined to be hydrophytic (wetland plants).
A determination of the wetland boundary will be made based on soil, hydrology (if present), and vegetative parameters.
Once wetland and upland characteristics are determined for each transect data points will be collected on the wetland boundary. A draft and final wetlands delineation report will be submitted to the City.
Task 5.2 Products/Deliverables
Draft and Final Wetland Mapping and Report.
Task 5.3: Botanical and Sensitive Natural Communities
Surveys
Botanical and sensitive natural communities’ surveys will consist of field work and production of a written report and vegetation map showing the locations of any special status plants or sensitive natural communities within the project footprint. During Year 1 (2022), a seasonally appropriate survey will be made in June to survey for special status plants within the project area. During Year 2 (2023), a second seasonally appropriate (spring) survey will occur.
The survey will focus on species and sensitive natural
communities identified as most probable to occur in the 2016 Environmental Constraints Analysis although any additional special status species or sensitive communities would also be documented. A botanist will assess habitat types within the designated study area, and then walk the area to determine presence or absence of special status species identified during database searches or potentially present based on location and habitat type.
Additional site visits will be made for mapping and
documenting any sensitive natural communities present using the Combined Vegetation Rapid Assessment and Relevé
Field Form per the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) protocol.
Task 5.3 Products/Deliverables
Draft and Final Botanical Surveys and Report.
Task 5.4: Natural Environment Study (NES)
The most recent version of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) will be reviewed to determine the location of documented federally listed and other special-status plant and wildlife species relative to the project site. Additionally, a species list will be obtained from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Readily available aerial photography of the project area, soils maps, and hydrology data will also be reviewed.
A biologist will visit the project site to identify and characterize the habitat types present on and bordering the project
site. Results of Task 5.2 (Wetland Delineation) and Task 5.3 (Botanical and Sensitive Natural Community Survey) will be incorporated into the NES. The potential occurrence of special-status plant and wildlife species will be evaluated based on an analysis of onsite habitats, known home ranges and/ or distribution of target species, and other biological characteristics. The habitat types present on and bordering the project site will be noted and any wildlife species observed will be recorded. Field work related to any potential jurisdictional wetlands would be covered in a Task 5.2 and incorporated by reference into the NES with summary level discussion.
Following the site visit, communication with the project team (City, Caltrans, and GHD) will be conducted to discuss findings prior to document preparation and determine
whether a NES or NES-MI is the appropriate level of
documentation. An NES MI is ordinarily used for projects with minimal required mitigation and “no effect’ or “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” determinations for ESA-listed species. The database review above and the field visit will be used to verify the finding.
Based on the outcome of the above an NES-MI or NES will be prepared. The document will be prepared using the most recent Caltrans template. The report will include supporting GIS-based figures and representative photographs of the site.
Up to two (2) rounds of comments from the City and Caltrans will be responded to in order to develop a final NES. All appropriate revisions will be made, and a final version of the document will be submitted to the City for their submittal to Caltrans.
Task 5.4 Products/Deliverables
Two Review Draft NES and one Final NES .
Task 5.5: Minor Visual Impact Assessment
GHD will prepare a Minor Visual Impact Assessment. The
assessment will focus on potential visual impacts of any above-ground improvements associated with the project to the aesthetic environment, including a review of consistency with applicable City policies from the General Plan 2030.
The assessment will not include a visual simulation of the proposed project. The assessment will also inform the
CEQA IS/Proposed MND Appendix G Checklist Section 1,
Aesthetics.
This scope assumes that if a Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) or visual simulations are required, that Caltrans would be responsible for preparing them.
Task 5.5 Products/Deliverables
Draft and Final Minor Visual Impact Assessment.
Task 5.6: Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
An Initial Site Assessment (ISA) will be performed to
assess whether it is likely that any hazardous materials or impacted soil or groundwater will be encountered during the construction of the proposed project. The ISA will be consistent with Chapter 10 of Caltrans SER and follow the most recent American Society of Testing Materials E1527 13 GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 19 standards with one exception. Full compliance with these standards would be cost prohibitive since meeting the
United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) “all appropriate inquiry” (AAI) rule requires interviewing each property owner, past and present, in addition to
tenants and business managers of properties within and
adjacent to the proposed study area. These interviews are typically necessary as part of due diligence for property transactions. Since the focus of this ISA is for suitability for project implementation, and not due diligence associated with liability of property acquisition, adherence to the “all appropriate inquiry” rule and associated interviews is not part of the proposed scope of services.
GHD will query the Humboldt County Environmental Health Division, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB), and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for knowledge of previous
activities that may have resulted in potential contamination of parcels or rights-of- way located within the study area.
GHD will examine available historical topographic maps and aerial photographs of the parcels and adjacent areas, and obtain an Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) report, which provides access to over 1,200 federal, state, local, tribal, and proprietary environmental databases. The EDR report complies with the standard environmental record
sources search, with a minimum search distance of 200 feet beyond the study area. GHD will then produce a preliminary hazardous materials constraints map template. The map
template, data from the County records, and EDR data
will be used by the field team to conduct reconnaissance throughout the study area.
A draft ISA report will be submitted for City review. Impacts to construction within the proposed study area will be
described and general locations with documented and
potential soil and/or groundwater contamination that may impact the project will be discussed. Based on the data available, each of the potentially contaminated sites that could impact the project will be assigned a Hazard Rank.
The ISA will inform the CEQA IS/Proposed MND Appendix G Checklist Section 9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials.
Task 5.6 Products/Deliverables
Draft and Final Initial Site Assessment Report.
Task 5.7: Historic Property Survey Report/Archaeological Resources Survey (HPSR/ASR)
Roscoe and Associates will prepare the Archaeological
Survey Report (ASR) for the project, and JRP Historical Consulting will prepare the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) & Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) for the project. The objective of the cultural resources investigation is to identify known or unknown cultural resources located within the project’s APE. This will be accomplished by
conducting background historic research, correspondence with knowledgeable individuals and tribes, an intensive pedestrian field survey, and preparation of an HPSR and ASR per professional reporting standards.
This project is subject to regulatory compliance with the CEQA and funding from the Federal Highways Administration also qualifies the project as a federal undertaking subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This cultural resources survey is designed to satisfy these environmental requirements by identifying and recording cultural resources within the project APE and offering a preliminary significance evaluation of the identified cultural resources. If needed, recommendations will be designed to protect resources integrity.
Pre-field research will include conducting background and archival research at local libraries, historical societies, and any other repositories that might contain information about the project area. A formal records check of the APE with a 1/2 mile radius will be conducted by Roscoe and Associates at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), the regional office of the California Historical Resources Information System located in Rohnert Park, CA. All relevant documents will be reviewed and information pertinent to the project area will be included in the report. Roscoe and Associates will conduct consultations with the Native American Heritage Commission and local Native American tribes throughout the duration of the investigation.
The field survey will consist of an intensive pedestrian reconnaissance (10 meter transects) of the APE. Where thick ground cover is present, a trowel or shovel will be used to scrape down to mineral soils to allow for adequate survey.
All previously recorded and newly identified historic period or prehistoric cultural resources will be documented on DPR 523 series archaeological site records to a standard consistent with the Department of the Interior guidelines for recording historic resources. This is a Phase I – cultural resources investigation, no collecting and no ground
disturbance exceeding 10 centimeters below ground surface will be conducted.
An ASR detailing the regional prehistory, ethnographic/ historic background, Native American consultation, study methods, findings and recommendations will be prepared.
Maps will be provided showing the cultural resources survey area, any archaeological site locations, and historic imagery.
The final report will be supplied to the County and the NWIC.

GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 20 Task 6.2: Administrative Draft CEQA IS/Proposed MND
GHD will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/Proposed MND for the project to be reviewed by the City. The most current version of the Initial Study Checklist (Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines) will be used.
GHD’s approach for the CEQA checklist resource categories to be included in the Administrative Draft IS/Proposed
MND will rely on a new cultural resource investigation
(ASR and HPSR), wetland delineation and sensitive natural communities’ surveys, and proposed biological resource
databases searches included in the NES. Technical studies and database searches will be referenced in the IS/Proposed MND and are listed below in the relevant resource category.
However, the list of technical studies is not exclusive to newly discovered additional studies:
» Aesthetics - The existing visual setting of the project site will be described. Visual aspects of the proposed
project components, will be analyzed using the Visual
Resources Technical Memorandum, described above
(Task 5.5). This Scope of Work does not include the
creation of visual simulations.
» Agriculture and Forest Resources - The project area
will be assessed for potential impacts to agricultural and forest resources.
» Air Quality - The potential air quality impacts
associated with the project would be from emissions
from generators, construction vehicles and equipment,
and the projected increase in operational uses (as
determined in the project description). The North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District does not require the quantification of construction emissions but does
require compliance with best available dust control
measures. Dust control measures will be described, and
sensitive receptors in the vicinity of work sites will be identified. Emissions will be quantified for construction and operation using CalEEMod; however, detailed air
modeling and analysis is not part of this scope. A Health Risk Assessment is not part of this scope.
» Biological Resources - Potential direct and indirect
biological resource impacts will be described and, if
appropriate, mitigation measures will be identified. The wetland report, sensitive natural communities report,
NES, and database search results will be used as the
technical basis for this section.
» Cultural Resources - Potential cultural resource
impacts will be described based on the cultural resource investigation and reports prepared by Roscoe and
Associates.
» Energy - The project’s energy utilization will be reviewed in the context of local and statewide energy and energy conservation plans.
» Geology and Soils - Potential seismic impacts will
be identified. Potential erosion impacts associated
with project construction will be described, and if
appropriate, mitigation measures will be identified.
» Greenhouse Gas Emissions - The existing
environmental setting and regulations will be described and analyzed against proposed Project activities, which will include greenhouse gas emission calculations using CalEEMod, discussed above in Air Quality.
» Hazards & Hazardous Materials - A qualitative
description of potential hazards and hazardous materials impacts will be provided. GHD will rely on the ISA as a technical basis.
» Hydrology and Water Quality - Potential impacts of the proposed project on water quality and hydrology will be identified and mitigation will be included if needed.
» Land Use and Planning - The existing General Plan
Land Use and Zoning designations in the project area
and regulations affecting the proposed project will be
described and analyzed. GHD will note and analyze
inconsistencies with General Plan policies, if any.
» Mineral Resources - Existing mineral resources in the project area will be identified and analyzed against
proposed project activities.
» Noise - The existing noise environment at the project site will be described and nearby sensitive receptors
identified. The potential noise impacts associated
with the project would be primarily from temporary
construction activities and could be impactful to nearby residents. GHD will describe the appropriate noise
ordinance requirements and its applicability to the
project. A noise study is not part of this scope of work. » Population and Housing - The existing population and
housing stock in the project area will be described and analyzed for potential effects from the proposed project. » Public Services - Existing public services and utilities in the vicinity of the project site will be described based on information to be obtained from local service providers. » Recreation - The existing recreational amenities in
the project area will be described and analyzed for the proposed project.
» Transportation - Impact assessment related to
Transportation will be guided by the Office of Planning and Research’s (OPR) December 2018 Technical
Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in
CEQA, which include updated Vehicle Miles Traveled
(VMT) requirements and the project’s design specific to geometric hazards.
» Tribal Cultural Resources - GHD will coordinate with
the City regarding the disposition of any tribal cultural resources in the Project Area. GHD assumes that the
City will conduct Assembly Bill (AB) 52 consultation.
» Utilities and Service Systems - Existing utilities in the vicinity of the project site will be described and potential impacts analyzed, based on information to be obtained
from the City and local utility and service providers.
» Wildfire - The risk of the project to increase wildfire potential in or near State Responsibility Zones will be evaluated along with other factors that may increase
exposure to wildfires.

5. | Experience and Qualifications
GHD specializes almost exclusively in municipal engineering projects for cities, counties, and special districts.
Because of this, we understand the difference between public sector design requirements and those of private development. We believe that the best engineering project not only provides the technical solution, but also satisfies the environmental requirements, public needs, funding limitations, regulatory requirements, and political realities of the community. The project examples provided below highlight GHD’s recent experience that is similar in scope of work and requirements to the City’s project.
Having worked with the City of Fortuna for more than a decade to improve infrastructure in the quickly growing community, GHD led a study in 2015 to examine improvement alternatives for the City’s busy US 101/Kenmar Road interchange.
The initial planning study involved detailed traffic modeling, traffic operations analysis, and development of preliminary design alternatives, resulting in City and Caltrans concurrence: Modern roundabouts at the US 101 on-/off-ramp intersections would provide superior traffic operations at a cost less than that of a traditional signalized interchange.
The selected design also provided for a realignment of Eel River Drive and a Class I trail connection.
In 2017, GHD prepared a Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) to assist the City in securing $550,000 in State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds to support the project’s PA&ED phase. In 2020, GHD was retained by the City to complete the PA&ED phase of the project, including engineering studies, geometric design, environmental studies, CEQA/NEPA documentation, and project approvals. Work on the project is ongoing with the PA&ED phased expected to be completed in late 2022.

Kenmar Interchange Project
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 28 GHD partnered with the City of Napa and Caltrans to provide the PA/ ED and final design, including preparation of an intersection control evaluation for three closely spaced intersections to relieve traffic congestion and delays.
The three closely spaced intersections along two corridors at the SR 29 northbound ramps at First Street, First Street at California Blvd, and Second Street at California Blvd, are experiencing significant delay and congested conditions. The congestion and delay will be further exacerbated with projected increases in traffic volumes along these two heavily traveled corridors. Additionally, the collision rates at the SR 29 ramps at First Street exceeded the statewide average.
The City of Napa partnered with GHD and Caltrans to deliver the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) and Final Design of the PS&Es, including the preparation of an Intersection Control Evaluation, Project Report with all supporting documentation, and the Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration. The project also includes an in-depth drain plan which incorporates Low Impact Development features, water quality features, and underground storm drain system in the City and State rights of way. This project was funded through the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), which is a mixture of Federal and State funds.
Since this project was to be Advertised, Awarded and Administered (AAA) by Caltrans, GHD completed the PS&E consistent with Caltrans’ Plans Preparation Manual and submitted the MicroStation, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and Word electronic files to Caltrans Office Engineer for final processing and advertising. GHD provided construction support services to the Caltrans Resident Engineer from April 2019 through project construction in April 2020. The project’s construction was completed ahead of schedule and was a recipient of regional awards.

First and Second Street Roundabouts
along California Boulevard (at SR 29)
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 29 Caltrans had developed an extensive grade separation improvement that resolved the traffic congestion, though it did not meet the approval of the local community regarding aesthetics and continuity of pedestrian and bicycle travel at the Soscol Junction intersection.
As a result, GHD was retained by the City of Napa and the Napa Valley Transportation Agency to evaluate the potential use of roundabouts to improve the intersection of State Routes (SR) 29 and 221. Caltrans accepted the use of a roundabout, as it could alleviate the original Build Alternative’s aesthetic impacts and maintain pedestrian and bicycle continuity at the interchange.
After completing the interchange feasibility evaluation, GHD prepared the Traffic Operations Analysis Report, Design Decision Document, Stage Construction / Traffic Management Plan, and the Project Report.
The project completed PA/ED February 2020. Currently, the project is advancing through PS&E, and is slated to start construction in Spring 2022.

GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 30 Replacing a congested T-intersection at Holman Highway 68 and Highway 1 with a midi roundabout, GHD designed a solution for the City of Monterey that improved access, safety, and sustainability in the popular coastal tourist community.
Along the coast of the Monterey Peninsula, the intersection of Holman Highway 68 and Highway 1 is an important gateway point to the famously scenic 17 Mile Drive, as well as into the communities of Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove. To improve upon the original T-intersection, the City sought to replace it with a new roundabout, optimizing traffic flow and shrinking the environmental footprint, further investing in accessibility, sustainability, and safety for the ever-growing destination community.
The original designer explored a roundabout solution and various signal configurations. Though the Project Report (PR) was approved with the preferred alternative of a new traffic signal system and widening of the highway from two (2) to four (4) lanes, the cost for this alternative was deemed too high, impacts too great, and needs of the community not fully met. The project then sat on the shelf for years, until the City of Monterey decided to reopen the project, hoping to find a more costeffective option.

The City and GHD collaborated with a community
partnership—encompassing the City of Monterey,
Caltrans, and the Pebble Beach Company—to develop
design options for the roundabout, then progress the
preferred design into construction.
The City’s selected solution involves two (2) closely
spaced roundabouts, otherwise known as a “midi”
roundabout, to address the area’s many unique
characteristics. By eliminating traffic signals, we greatly cut down on idling times for motorists, not only reducing greenhouse gas emissions but streamlining the flow of
traffic. Obviously marked approaches in and out of the
roundabout allow an ease of navigation through a heavily trafficked tourist spot, in addition to providing better means of entry and egress for emergency vehicles.
Overall, our design promoted clarity, usability, and
environmental responsibility in a locale loved for its
natural beauty. Construction completed in 2017 and the
roundabouts are currently open to all modes of traffic.

GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 32 With an ultra-condensed schedule driven by the City’s expansive commercial and residential growth, GHD designed a new roundabout at the intersection of Westbound I-80 on/off-ramps and South Auburn Street/SR 174, intended to dramatically improve safety in this high-profile area.
Connecting I-80 and SR 174, South Auburn Street serves as both the main gateway into historic downtown Colfax and a major route to the local high school. To relieve congestion, enhance infrastructure at the City’s gateway, and improve safety in this growing community, GHD designed the South Auburn Street Roundabout at the important intersection of the Westbound I-80 on/off-ramps and South Auburn Street/SR 174.
Complicating the project schedule was the proximity of the project reach to a nearby commercial area experiencing rapid expansion and development.
Accordingly, our project team understood that condensing the schedule to only 16 months would be paramount to meeting the City’s needs.
GHD’s design team leveraged existing relationships and extensive familiarity with local agency staff and processes to move quickly to coordinate and obtain approvals from the City, Caltrans, Placer County Water Agency (PCWA), and PG&E. Simultaneously, we commenced with environmental studies and preliminary design exhibits to complete the project under the condensed 16-month schedule.
During this utility outreach, PCWA notified the City and our team of the need to replace the water main along South Auburn Street. Although, this design issue was not known prior to beginning work, nor included within the original scope, we were able to complete this additional design, within the original budget, for a new 18-inch diameter ductile iron water main.
Having led both roadway and water main improvements, we were able to avoid any impacts to schedule while mitigating future maintenance costs through relocating the new water main away from all above-ground concrete features.
Caltrans District 3 finalized and approved plans in January 2019. The roundabout project presents a successful example and functional model for local municipalities in facilitating collaboration with State and regional agencies to ultimately save money and serve the needs of the community.

South Auburn Street/I-80 Roundabout
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 33 Accommodating substantial growth in the rural City of Galt, as well as new developments adjacent to the project site, GHD analyzed concepts, coordinated with Caltrans, and prepared PA/ED, followed by PS&E, to enhance and improve the congested SR 99 and SR 104 interchange with an innovative roundabout solution, saving the City more than $20 million compared to Caltrans’ standard alternative concept.
Prior to the project, the City of Galt largely comprised rural areas and growing vineyards, though residential and commercial development was spreading rapidly into the land surrounding the SR 104 (Twin Cities Road) and SR 99 interchange, which was entering its sixth decade of service.
Accordingly, livestock and agricultural businesses generated a significant volume of large (oversize loads) vehicles on the existing, narrow two-lane roadway. Approximately 10 years ago, traffic queues at the interchange became too long—and drivers arguably too aggravated—to not catch the attention of the City of Galt, the County of Sacramento, and Caltrans (who had safety-related projects underway in the area, though no plans for capacity expansion projects). To respond to contemporary capacity issues and sustain planned growth due to surrounding developments, Galt recognized the need to dramatically improve its transportation infrastructure.
Completely located within Caltrans right of way and surrounded by private homes, farms, and both developed and undeveloped commercial properties, the existing Twin Cities Road interchange was a two-lane bridge (SR 104) crossing over SR 99 with minimal pedestrian access and signalized intersections at East Stockton Blvd. and West Stockton Boulevard, two frontage roads where non-standard ramps led to SR 99.
To complicate the project further, Walmart received approval to build a new store just 800 feet east of the project area. Not only would the Location

SR 99/SR 104 (Twin Cities Road) Interchange
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 34 new interchange need to address the drastic increase
in users, but construction would require in-depth
coordination with Walmart’s, as the two projects were
scheduled for construction simultaneously. The City was at a loss as to how to affordably approach such daunting operational shortfalls at the interchange.
At the time of project conception, roundabouts were
unheard of in rural areas. The preferred design solution for any interchange project was instead the “tight
diamond,” an alternative the City initially evaluated for the Twin Cities interchange that, at first, was preferred by most stakeholders and involved minimal approvals.
However, this design would have demanded the
complete acquisition of all impacted business and
homes, resulting in the steep price tag of $32 million.
Considering that, the previous year, the City spent
$43.5 million on the Central Galt Interchange—also a
GHD project—they would not have sufficient capital to
fund this interchange project so soon after.
Building from the City’s trust in the GHD team, we
analyzed many different design alternatives and
ran various scenarios. The solution that satisfied all
operational goals at the lowest cost, while functioning beyond the 10-year design horizon, also happened to
be the most “outside of the box” option: a hybridized
roundabout design. This involved replacing the two
signalized intersections with two closely-spaced
roundabouts, adding a new southbound on-ramp and
preserving the overcrossing—eliminating all work on
SR 99—while minimizing right of way impacts and ramp
reconstruction. Up until this point, Caltrans had only
a couple roundabouts in the state highway system,
which meant there were no policies or standards and
few resources available to support their approval of
the design. In fact, because the roundabout (let alone
two roundabouts) was viewed as such an atypical
design solution, we prepared a detailed Roundabout
Conceptual Approval Report for the City to convince
Caltrans to move forward with the most cost-efficient
and effective alternative.
Public and stakeholder buy-in was also essential to the project moving forward successfully. Our diligence
in understanding the community’s perspective and
concerns through extensive public outreach, as well
as communicating project intent and issues to alleviate those concerns, allowed us to promote the roundabouts
as ultimately benefiting safety and quality of life. With buy-in achieved, we then worked closely with the City to develop a partnership with Caltrans and obtain approval on the concept and the design.
As this interchange serves as the northern gateway into the City of Galt, we designed custom placemaking as
part of improvements to preserve and promote the
character of the region. The roundabouts’ central islands feature COR-TEN® steel statues: a family of 10- to
15-foot-tall bird watchers (and their dog) scope out
12- to 14-foot-tall cranes wallowing in a wetland setting across SR 99, an homage to the nearby Cosumnes
River Preserve. At night, these features illuminate with surrounding light installations. Additionally, to provide consistent aesthetics, we specified crushed glass and
faux grass at one non-irrigated roundabout.
Inherent to all our work, the GHD team conducted
Value Engineering during the design phase to cut
construction costs from $32 million to, with a refined
roundabout design, less than $10 million. While this
represented a substantial cost reduction, the price was still an undue burden on the City, so we proceeded with a value analysis to cut the budget even more, modifying construction staging, materials, and dedication. This
mitigated impacts to surrounding properties, allowing
for and encouraging future development. Construction
completed in 2014.
Since the project completed, new commercial
developments have broken ground in the immediate area
of the interchange. Pushing the envelope for innovation in State highway design, the project has significantly
reduced peak-hour traffic congestion and simplified
traffic movements, increasing safety while providing
the City of Galt with a welcoming entrance to
their growing community—at no additional cost to
ratepayers.

GHD was commissioned to prepare a fourway single-lane roundabout at the existing intersection of Stockrest Springs Road / Donner Pass Road that will also access the Town’s Corporation Yard, Humane Society / Animal Shelter, a proposed Apartment / Hotel development, the US Forest Service, Caltrans right of way, and environmentally sensitive areas. The projects design elements included intersection grading, cross slope corrections, bike lanes and trails, sidewalk, transit stops, drainage / water quality features, utility relocations, and Caltrans Encroachment Permit Processing.
To facilitate the schedule and design considerations we accomplished this project within four phases:
» Phase 1: Develop the roundabout concepts for review by Caltrans to secure that the project will not fall within their jurisdictional review » Phase 2: Prepare 30% geometric approval documents for review/ approval
» Phase 3: Prepare and complete the construction documents and permitting
» Phase 4: Construction Support
This methodical approach limited the opportunity for delay as the project progressed. We are under contract to continue providing these services and will follow the project through to final close-out. Right of way certification was obtained in March 2018 and went to bid in April 2018.
The design and environmental were completed on-time and met the schedule constraints involved with work in the Tahoe Basin. Construction was completed ahead of schedule in Winter 2019 and final landscaping was added in the Spring of 2020.

Blossom Hill Road Overcrossing
Widening and Pedestrian Overcrossing
GHD City of Fortuna 12th Street Interchange Modernization Project – Environmental Documentation and Preliminary Engineering Services 37 The US-101 divides the City of East Palo Alto into two segments, with a substantial portion of the City’s residents living on the west side of the highway, and City services, schools, shopping and public spaces located on the east side of the highway. Access to the east side of US-101 for these residents was generally constricted to the University Avenue overcrossing, which has tightly limited space for pedestrians and bicyclists, and touches down at large, intimidating intersections that are not pedestrian or bicycle friendly. To improve public safety and support the City’s objectives to reduce vehicular trips and promote walking and bicycling, the City constructed a Class I pedestrian/bicycle bridge over US-101. The west-side touchdown is located at the Newell Road/W. Bayshore Road intersection and the east-side touchdown is located in the Home Depot parking lot, adjacent to the Clarke Avenue/E. Bayshore Road intersection.
The main bridge over US-101 is approximately 325 feet long and consists of a cast-in-place concrete post-tensioned concrete box girder structure supported on single column bents and Type II cast-in-drilledhole shafts. The ramp on the west side of the highway runs on the east side of W. Bayshore Road, along the existing soundwall is approximately 330 feet long and consists of a cast-in-place slab supported on single column bents and a combination of Type I and Type II shafts.
BCA provided structural design consultation services throughout the feasibility study phase of the project, and subsequently provided project management and structural design services for the bridge PS&E portion of the project. The PS&E package included bridge design, civil/roadway design, geotechnical design, aesthetics, landscape design, right of way, utility coordination and relocation, lighting and electrical design, sign relocations, and safety considerations. All work was coordinated with the City and Caltrans to obtain permits for improvements within Caltrans right-of-way.
This project won an Honor Award in the ACEC California 2020 Engineering Excellence Awards competition as well as the 2019 Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition Project of the Year.

The project improves connectivity to the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve, East Bayshore Road businesses, and regional San Francisco Bay Trail network from residential neighborhoods and employment districts in southern Palo Alto.
The City conducted a design competition that resulted in three designs that could not be constructed within the allotted budget. As a result, the City requested a design consultant to provide a cost-effective design that incorporates many of the characteristics favored by the City and the community, such as a bird-friendly, low-profile design of concrete or steel.
The project required coordination with the City, Caltrans, Santa Clara Valley Water District, utilities, and other agencies having jurisdiction.
Biggs Cardosa provided structural design engineering services as well as project management as the prime consultant contracted directly with the City.

This grant-funded project extended Riverfront Street and widens 5th Street under US-50 along the City of West Sacramento’s Waterfront. The project includes the acquisition of 10 parcels, 5 of which are part of a larger development agreement.
The Monument Team worked to acquire rights from Caltrans and the development community in support of the improvements.
The Monument Team crafted an innovative strategy to meet the FHWA right-of-way requirements while still honoring the terms of the development agreement. This was accomplished by utilizing the terms of the development agreement to convince the developer to dedicate the right-of-way. This dedicated right-of-way was secured in exchange for development credits and avoided the need to acquire the property through the standard right-of-way process, which would have been timeconsuming and costly. Monument was successful in highlighting the fact that the existing development agreements allowed the City to acquire the property via pre-negotiated prices and terms. As a result, Monument was able to save the City of West Sacramento over half of the consulting fees other firms were proposing to acquire the right-of-way.
