ATTACHMENT D:

Workplace Violence Prevention
Environmental Hazard Assessment & Control Checklist
This checklist can help evaluate the workplace and job tasks to see what situations may place employees at risk of assault. It is not confined to a single industry or occupation but can be used for any workplace. Adapt the checklist to fit your own needs. It is very comprehensive, and not every question will apply to your workplace. Write “N/A” in the NOTES column. Add any other questions you think are important.

RISK FACTORS FOR WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
Cal/OSHA and NIOSH have identified the following risk factors that may contribute to violence in the workplace. If you have one or more of these risk factors in your workplace, there may be a potential for violence.

Question Yes No Notes
Do employees have contact with the public?
Do they exchange money with the public?
Do they interact with visitors (such as a front
desk receptionist, checkout clerk, service
desk, etc.)
Do they work alone?
Do they work late at night or during early
morning hours?
Is the workplace often understaffed?
Is the workplace located in an area with a
high crime rate?
Do employees enter areas with a high crime
rate?
Do they ever perform duties that could upset
people (deny benefits, turn off utilities, collect
debts, confiscate property, etc.)?
Do they deal with people known or
suspected to have a history of violence,
special needs, mental illness?
Do any employees or supervisors, or
clients/customers have a history of assault,
verbal abuse, harassment, or other
threatening behavior?
Are employees told and trained on who is
responsible for security?

Other Risk Factors (Describe):

INSPECTING WORK AREA
You or your workplace violence/crime prevention committee should now begin a “walk around” inspection to identify potential security hazards. This inspection can tell you which hazards are already well controlled, and what control measures need to be added. Not all of the following questions can be answered through simple observation. You may also need to talk to employees or investigate in other ways.

Business Item 5a

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item

DATE: September 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Shari Meads, Community Development Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Amend General Plan Land Use Diagram and Rezone 0.81 Acres of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 202-092-006, 202-092-003, and 1.1 Acres of 202-103-010; Ordinance 2024-771
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The Community Development Department recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance 2024-771, an Ordinance of the Fortuna City Council amending the General Plan Land Use Diagram from Residential Very Low (RVL) and Rural Residential (RR) to Commercial (COM) and Rezoning from Residential Estates (RE) and Residential Single-Family (R-1-10) to Commercial Thoroughfare (C-T) 0.81 Acres of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 202-092-006, 202- 092-003, and 1.1 acres of Assessor’s Parcel Number 202-103-010 and finding the amendments exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
REGULATORY CONTEXT:

In California, general plan amendments are changes to the text or maps of a community’s longrange plan that guides its physical development. California Government Code Section 65358 allows a jurisdiction to amend State-mandated general plan elements up to four times yearly. The proposed amendments are being considered as a package and, as such, together represent the first City of Fortuna General Plan amendment in 2024.

Section 17.07.200 (Zoning amendments) of the City of Fortuna Municipal Code establishes procedures for Title 17 (Zoning Regulations), to be amended, supplemented, changed, modified, or repealed, including, but not limited to, amendment of the zoning text, changing any property from one zone to another, imposing any regulation not theretofore imposed, or modifying any such regulation theretofore imposed. The proposed zoning amendment is consistent with these procedures. The City’s Zoning Regulations do not prohibit split zoning of parcels.

DISCUSSION:

The applicants have requested the proposed General Plan Land Use Diagram amendments and rezonings to expand allowable uses and facilitate new commercial development. All proposed development governed by the C-T zone will be evaluated for compatibility with and conditioned to protect existing and future development in the neighboring residential zones. Residential uses will remain conditionally permitted within the C-T zoned area.

The northern area to be rezoned includes Parcel 202-092-006, a 4.12-acre parcel, and Parcel 202- 092-003, a 0.69-acre parcel. Both parcels are located east of Rohnerville Road, north of Gulliksen Drive, and are currently undeveloped. Surrounding uses include existing single-family residential development to the east and commercial uses to the north, south, and west.

The proposed zoning amendment will rezone a small western portion of each parcel from Residential Estates (RE) to Commercial Thoroughfare (C-T), expanding the existing C-T zone by

0.81 acres as depicted on the site plan included with this report.

The southern portion of the rezoning area includes parcel 202-103-010, located on the eastern side of Rohnerville Road near the Kenwood Drive intersection. Commercial uses border it to the north, and residential uses border it to the south, east, and west. The parcel is developed with an existing single-family residence, single-car garage, and a 5,662-square-foot commercial shop.

The commercial shop was constructed in 1986 and has historically been used for general automotive services, principally permitted in the C-T Zone. The proposed rezoning will bring the northern 1.1-acre portion of the parcel and the existing commercial shop into conformance with the neighboring commercial zoning and allow for electrical system upgrades not permitted under the current residential zoning. There are no plans to expand the existing structure. Neighboring residential uses are protected from additional development by the Streamside Management Area (SMA) of 50 feet buffering Jameson Creek to the east. The southern 0.6-acre portion of the parcel where the existing residence is located will retain the Single-Family Residential zoning.

A General Plan Land Use Diagram amendment is required to allow the proposed zoning changes and to ensure consistency between the two governing documents. The General Plan Land Use Diagram amendment will change the land use designation of parcels 202-092-006 and 202-103- 010 from Residential Very Low (RVL) to Commercial (COM) and parcel 202-092-003 from Rural Residential (RR) to Commercial (COM). This will not increase the potential density significantly as the existing RVL Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.30 and the COM FAR is 0.35. The RR Land Use Designation will remain for the eastern portion of Parcel 202-092-006, maintaining a FAR of 0.10 and a residential density of 1 unit per gross acre.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION
Existing Land Use Designations
Rural Very Low
Residential Rural
Proposed Land Use Designation
Commercial
Rural Very Low
This designation provides for single-family
detached homes, secondary residential units,
public and quasi‐public uses, and similar and
compatible uses adjacent to the city limits.

Development in Very Low-Density
Residential areas should provide a buffer
between urban areas of the city and steep
slopes, natural habitat, or other geologically‐
or biologically-constrained areas. Residential
densities shall be in the range of 1.1 to 2.9
units per gross acre. The FAR for
nonresidential uses shall not exceed 0.30.

Residential Rural
Residential Rural (RR) This designation
provides for single‐family detached homes,
secondary residential units, public and quasi‐
public uses, and similar and compatible uses
in a rural setting. Development in Rural
Residential areas is generally limited due to
extreme slopes, natural habitat, or other
geologic and biologic constraints. Residential
density shall be up to 1.0 unit per gross acre.

The FAR for nonresidential uses shall not
exceed 0.10.

This designation provides for neighborhood
and locally‐oriented commercial centers that
may include retail and service uses, limited
professional and administrative offices as part
of a larger commercial center, public and
quasi‐public uses as part of a larger
commercial center, and similar and
compatible uses. The FAR shall not exceed

0.35. FISCAL IMPACT
The General Plan Land Use Diagram amendments and re-zones included in this Ordinance will have no foreseeable General Fund impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) the “General Rule Exemption” because it can be seen with certainty that the rezone and General Plan amendment will not result in any changes to the environment since the density is not increasing by a significant amount. Further, any future development projects associated with this rezone and General Plan amendment will undergo additional environmental review at the time of application.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: September 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Brendan Byrd, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Professional Services Contract for PS&E Services for the Kenmar Road and Highway 101 Interchange Improvement Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive staff presentation and recommendation and authorize the Interim City Manager to award a Professional Services Contract for the Kenmar Road and Highway 101 Interchange Improvement Project to GHD, for a total contract value not to exceed $2,100,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As the Council is aware, City staff have been active in advancing the Kenmar Road and US Highway 101 Interchange Improvement project (Project), which would include installing roundabouts on either side of the highway, relocating the existing park and ride facility, and installing various improvements to allow for bike a pedestrian access across the freeway. In the late winter/spring of 2023, the project environmental document was completed, and in January of 2024, the Preliminary Allocation and Environmental Documentation (PA&ED) phase of the project was completed. This phase was completed using State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding, which was obtained through the Humboldt County Association of Governments HCAOG in 2018.

With the closeout of the PA&ED phase of the project within reach in late 2023, staff took the next phases of the Project for HCAOG funding consideration in the 2024 STIP. The project phases included Final Engineering Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PSE, commonly referred to as ‘final design’), and the Right of Way Phase, and staff asked for a full funding through the STIP for both of these phases, which was $2.6 million. Ultimately, staff were successful in receiving funding concurrence from the Technical Advisory Committee and the HCAOG Board, and funding authorization for the full funding was approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in March of 2024.

With funding approved through the CTC, staff developed and released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional services related to the upcoming project phases. The RFP was published on May 29, 2024, and was placed on the City website, the builder’s exchanges, and emailed to all professional consultants in the City’s consultant directory. The proposal due date was July 5th.

The City received a single proposal for the project, which was from GHD Inc. GHD is the City’s regular traffic/transportation engineer for these types of projects, and therefore they are more than qualified to perform the subsequent phases of this project. Additionally, GHD successfully Business Item 5b

completed the PA&ED phase of this same project, and is currently contracted to complete the PA&ED phase of the City’s 12th Street Interchange Project. In summary, staff have reviewed their proposal, which meets all requirements for a PSE and ROW submittal package for Caltrans approval, and recommends that the Council approve a contract award to GHD. A copy of GHD’s draft scope of work and fee is included as Attachment A.

As the sole proposer on the project, staff had to request a Public Interest Finding (PIF) from Caltrans, which establishes the reasoning for a sole-source contract award. In doing so staff also show what types of noticing the City did in order to gain interest from prospective proposers.

Caltrans approved the City’s PIF request on August 8th 2024, and a copy has been included as Attachment B.

Should the Council approve the contract award, staff would work to finalize a contract using the City’s standard professional services contract template. Additionally, staff are working to finalize a new cooperative agreement with Caltrans, which needs to be in place prior to beginning the next phases of work. Staff are hopeful all contracting/agreements will be completed by the end of September, and that the next phase of project work begins in October.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The project is fully funded by a STIP grant received through the State in the amount of $2.6 M.

Of the budgeted available funds, $500,000 is reserved for Right of Way Acquisition costs, and $2.1 M are for professional services related to the final engineering design and ROW phases.

GHD’s proposed fee for the work matches the available budget for professional services. The full amount has been budgeted in Fund 270 for the fiscal year 2024/25. Budget will be allocated in subsequent fiscal years (via budget rollover) to cover the ongoing cost of the project, which is anticipated to be completed in October of 2026.

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 for the Kenmar Road and Highway 101 Interchange Improvement Project for a total contract value not to exceed $2,100,000.

Project UNDESTANDING
The following scope of services outlines the PS&E and right of way phases of the Kenmar Road and Highway 101 Interchange Improvement Project. The project includes improvements to the US 101 interchange at Kenmar Road in Fortuna (City). Proposed project components include the following:
• Two connected roundabouts on either side of US 101 along Kenmar Road. The westerly roundabout accommodates traffic to and from the US 101 southbound offramp, Kenmar Road, and the southbound US 101 on-ramp. The easterly roundabout manages traffic from Kenmar Road, the southerly reach of Eel River Drive, and northbound US 101 on- and off-ramps.
• A separated bicycle and walking path along Kenmar Rod with connections to the planned future Great Redwood Trail and John Cambell Memorial Trail. • Retaining walls and other associated improvements.
• Modifications to the preliminary design of eastern roundabout to accommodate future development of the former Palco Mill site.
• Modifications to allow for the potential reversion of the Great Redwood Trail to future railroad uses.

The project is located within Caltrans, Fortuna, Humboldt County, and Great Redwood Trail Agency maintained right of ways.

GHD understands that the scope of work includes the following:
• Plans, Specifications, and Estimates – Final engineering studies, supplemental surveys, geotechnical investigation, plans, specifications, estimates, and constructability reviews.
• Right of Way Engineering – Support of right of way, including the preparation of access agreements and encroachment permit applications, appraisals (for temporary and permanent right of way), environmental permit applications, acquisition support, and assistance with the preparation of the Right of Way Certification.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our understanding of the project as described previously, GHD has developed the following scope of services.

Task 1. Project Management, Meetings, and Coordination
Task 1.1. Project Management and Coordination
GHD will serve as overall project manager during the duration of the PS&E and right of way phases.

GHD will provide meeting coordination and oversight. At the outset of this project, an initiation meeting will be scheduled to establish the project team, review the scope of work and the project schedule, and establish lines of communications. GHD has budgeted for up to 24 meetings (all virtual). GHD will prepare agendas and meeting minutes highlighting decisions made and action items.

Task 1.3. Public Workshop/Meeting
GHD will provide exhibits and participate in one in-person workshop meeting with the public, specific stakeholders, and/or property owners adjacent to the project area identified by the City.

This meeting can occur at any point during the PS&E phase of work.

We assume that the City will be responsible for identifying and notifying specific stakeholders or the general public about the meetings, securing a meeting location, and leading the meeting.

Task 1.4. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
GHD will plan for and ensure QA/QC during the entire project through development/update of the living Quality Management Plan (QMP) per Caltrans requirements. GHD will also confirm that all design calculations, deliverables, and other works are independently verified for accuracy. Exhibits and plans will be checked, corrected, and back checked for accuracy and completeness.

Task 1. Products/Deliverables
• Meeting agendas, minutes, and documentation
• Caltrans information requests
• Public meeting exhibits
• QMP
• QA/QC for every major deliverable
Task 2. Survey and Mapping
Task 2.1. Supplemental Topographic Survey and Mapping
Caltrans provided the topographic right-of-way surveys used for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase of the project. This task includes preparing 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 3
supplemental topographic surveys in key areas that require more detailed or additional information. UNICO will lead this task and will utilize the project control established by Caltrans used during the PA&ED phase for overall consistency. By use of conventional total stations and 3D terrestrial scanners, UNICO will perform design level (non-aerial) supplemental topographic surveying and base mapping at key areas along the project limits. Items to locate include roadway conforms, spot elevations for walls and drainage, 2D planimetrics in certain areas, and utility and storm drain dips for the entire project footprint. UNICO will set durable control points along the project corridor for future surveys and construction control.

UNICO will perform base mapping of all topographic information to include full mapping, 1’ contours and digital 3D surface. All topographic data will be downloaded, processed and reviewed by UNICO staff for internal quality assurance. The topographic data will be mapped in Civil 3D AutoCAD, including a digital terrain model (DTM) in an XML file and 3D surface model.

UNICO will coordinate with Caltrans and the City to submit an encroachment permit for all survey related activities. It may be necessary for the City to apply for the encroachment permit as part of a City project. UNICO will provide relative survey information and support as needed.

UNICO has assumed up to 56 hours of a two-person field crew to perform supplemental topographic surveys, including travel to and from the project. If the supplemental survey requires a greater effort than assumed, a contract amendment may be required.

Task 2.1. Products/Deliverables
• AutoCAD Topographic Survey Base Map with 3D Surface
• Points File(s)
Task 3. Final Engineering Studies
Task 3.1. Geotechnical Analysis
Crawford will prepare the geotechnical analysis for the project.

Crawford will perform a site-specific foundation study to evaluate the subsurface conditions for foundation design of the selected retaining wall systems. The field investigation will also include subsurface exploration for earthwork, flexible pavement, and non-Caltrans retaining walls.

Crawford will:
• Determine exploration locations, determine site access, and mark their exploration locations for USA North 811.
• Obtain a Humboldt County Environmental Health Permit for our borings. • Obtain a City of Fortuna Encroachment Permit.

Crawford will conduct a subsurface exploration program to characterize the subsurface conditions for the ERS, roadways, and non-Caltrans retaining walls. Crawford will drill, log and sample the following test borings:
• Two borings to up to 50 ft deep for the earth retaining system's (ERS) in Caltrans right of way.
• Two borings to 20 ft deep for the non-Caltrans retaining walls. • Six borings to 5 to 10 ft deep for the roadways.

The drilling contractor will advance borings with a rubber-tired, truck and/or track mounted drill rig using 6- to 8-inch-diameter hollow, solid stem augers, and/or rotary wash methods. Standard Penetration Testing and California Modified sampling will be performed within borings to obtain samples and blow count information. A Crawford engineer/geologist will direct the sampling and log the borings consistent with current Caltrans procedures/requirements. At a minimum, they will 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 4
sample at continuously in the upper 5 feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter. Bulk samples of nearsurface soil will also be collected.

Surface and groundwater conditions will be noted where encountered. Traffic control will be provided with City and Caltrans requirements. The borings will be backfilled per County requirements.

Crawford will complete the following laboratory tests on bulk and relatively undisturbed samples obtained from the exploratory borings (as appropriate):
• Moisture Content and Unit Weight for bearing capacity and lateral capacity. • Unconfined Compression and/or Direct Shear testing, for bearing resistance and lateral capacity.
• Sieve Analysis and Plasticity Index for soil classification. • R-Value for pavement design.
• Resistivity, pH, Sulfate Content, and Chloride Content for soil corrosivity analysis.

Crawford will perform engineering evaluation and analysis for bearing resistance, lateral capacity, lateral earth pressures and preliminary anchor capacities, site seismicity including procedures consistent with current Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria to determine the site acceleration response spectrum (ARS), liquefaction potential, and soil corrosivity.

Crawford will prepare a Foundation Report (FR) for ERS for the ERS consistent with current Caltrans guidelines for review and comment by the design team. The report will provide a site/project description, summarize site geology and geologic reconnaissance, subsurface exploration and field and laboratory soil tests and include a Log of Test Borings (LOTB) drawing.

Earth materials and foundation conditions will be discussed including seismic criteria and the design ARS curve. The report will discuss structure foundation conditions/constraints, recommended type, bearing resistance, lateral capacity, lateral earth pressures, preliminary anchor capacities, liquefaction potential, soil corrosivity, and include construction considerations. The report will also include/address site preparation and grading, as necessary.

Crawford services for this task also include allowance for the Caltrans review process to respond to review comments, as needed. Crawford will coordinate with Caltrans if necessary to rectify comments received on the draft report for concurrence and include comment responses with the final report submittal.

Following receipt of all Draft FR review comments and concurrence with Caltrans, Crawford will prepare and submit a Final FR incorporating the comments as necessary.

Crawford will complete a Geotechnical Design Report (GDR) to address roundabout and roadway flexible pavements, non-Caltrans retaining structures, embankments, and drainage elements.

A draft GDR will be prepared with recommendations for new embankment placement, fill slopes, retaining walls, minor drainage structures, soil corrosivity for drainage/foundation elements, and new flexible pavement sections. The report will include a description of the existing facilities, proposed improvements, summary of exploration and testing, site geologic and subsurface conditions, groundwater levels, construction considerations, site plan with boring locations, boring logs, and laboratory test results.

Crawford services for this task also include allowance for the Caltrans review process to respond to review comments if/as needed. They will contact or meet with Caltrans if necessary to rectify comments received on the draft report for concurrence and include comment responses in the final report.

Following receipt of all Draft GDR review comments and concurrence with the design team, the City, and Caltrans, Crawford will prepare and submit a Final GDR incorporating the comments as necessary.

City of Fortuna or Caltrans).

The drainage study will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for review and comment. Upon receipt of comments, a final preliminary report will be prepared and submitted. The results of the drainage report will be used to support final design and cost estimate.

In addition, the Preliminary Storm Water Data Report completed during the PA&ED phase will be updated to match 90% design conditions and for consistency with the drainage study and submitted to Caltrans for review/final approval.

Task 3.2. Products/Deliverables
• Draft and Final Drainage Report
• Final SWDR
Task 3.3. Preliminary Site Investigation
Geocon will perform a Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) based upon the conclusions and findings presented in the GHD 2023 Kenmar Road and Highway 101 Interchange Improvements Project Initial Site Assessment (ISA) Report (GHD, 2023). Geocon will conduct the following tasks:
• Advance 30 soil borings on the roadway shoulders along the on- and off-ramps of the Kenmar Avenue and SR-101 interchange and along Kenmar Avenue, Eel River Drive, and Riverwalk Drive to a depth of 2 feet (28 borings) and along a former railroad alignment to a depth of 3 feet (two borings) using hand auger sampling equipment.
• Collect soil samples at depth intervals of 0 to 1 and 1 to 2 feet from each 2-foot-deep boring, and from 0 to 1 and 2 to 3 feet from each 3-foot-deep boring. They will collect soil samples from the hand auger and transfer them to Ziploc® re-sealable plastic bags or stainless-steel tubes. They will subsequently label the samples, place them in an ice chest and deliver them to the analytical laboratory under standard chain-ofcustody documentation. They will backfill the borings with the excavated soil materials. They will note general soil types encountered in the borings on the daily field log.

Perform QA/QC procedures during the field exploration activities. These procedures will include decontamination of sampling equipment before each sample is collected and provide chain-ofcustody documentation for each soil sample submitted to the laboratory. They will decontaminate the soil sampling equipment between each sample by washing the equipment with an Alconox® solution followed by a double rinse with deionized water. They will discharge the rinseate water to ground surface areas within the right of way which do not slope to drainage inlets or surface water bodies. • Analyze each of the soil samples from the 2-foot- deep borings for total lead following United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Test Method 6010B (56 samples).
• Analyze samples with total lead concentrations between 50 and 1,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/ kg) for soluble lead using the Waste Extraction Test (WET) method, USEPA Test Method 7000, where necessary (assume up to 16 samples). 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 6
• Analyze soil samples with total lead concentrations greater than 1,000 mg/kg for Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) soluble lead, where necessary (assume up to eight samples).
• Analyze each soil sample from the 3-foot-deep borings (i.e., those along the former railroad alignment) for CAM 17 heavy metals following USEPA Test Methods 6010B and 7471A, diesel- range and motor oil-range organics following USEPA Test Method 8015M, polychlorinated biphenyls following USEPA Test Method 8082, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons following USEPA Test Method 8270 (four samples). Select samples may be analyzed for soluble metals based on the results of the total metals analysis (assume up to four samples).

If required by Caltrans, Geocon will provide asbestos-containing materials (ACM)/leadcontaining paint (LCP) surveys:
• Conduct ACM and LCP surveys of the existing structures. • Collect up to 28 bulk material samples for asbestos analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM).
• Additionally analyze up to six of the bulk asbestos samples by PLM point count methodology (400 points).
• Additionally analyze up to four of the bulk asbestos samples by PLM point count methodology (1,000 points).
• Collect up to eight samples of paint for lead analysis by USEPA Test Method 6010B. • Analyze up to four of the paint samples for soluble lead using the WET method and up to four of the paint samples for soluble lead using the TCLP test. • Prepare an asbestos and LCP survey report.

During the ACM and LCP surveys, Geocon staff will:
• Conduct a walkthrough inspection of the structures to identify and inventory suspect ACM and potential LCP.
• Collect representative bulk samples of suspect ACM and submit using chain-ofcustody documentation to a laboratory accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Plan for the analysis of asbestos in bulk material samples. • Analyze suspect ACM samples collected during the surveys on a 5-day turnaround time using PLM according to the USEPA-recommended method. • Collect bulk samples of potential LCP using techniques presented in United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines. In addition, each painted area sampled will be evaluated for evidence of deterioration such as flaking or cracking. It is not Geocon’s intent during this survey to conduct an evaluation of lead based paint hazards in accordance with HUD guidelines. • Submit paint samples to a California-licensed and California State Water Resources Control Board-accredited laboratory for lead analyses in accordance with USEPA Test Method 6010B under chain-of-custody (COC) documentation on a 5-day turnaround time.
• Prepare one electronic version of a final asbestos and LCP survey report that will include a general property description, sample/laboratory analytical results, ACM and deteriorated LCP quantities, types, condition, and locations, photographs of identified ACM and LCP, and inspector/laboratory certification data. A structure drawing illustrating sample locations will also be included in the report. The drawing will be proportional, but not to scale.

A reasonable effort will be made to identify suspect ACMs and LCPs. However, this does not imply a guarantee that all possible sources will be identified as certain materials may be hidden by structural materials or may be otherwise inaccessible. During future renovation or demolition 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 7
operations, suspect ACMs and potential LCP may be uncovered. These materials should be treated as ACM and LCP, respectively, until evaluation, sampling, and analysis indicate otherwise.

Task 3.3. Products/Deliverables
− Draft and Final PSI Report
− Draft and Final ACM/LCP Surveys (if required)
Task 3.4. Soil and Groundwater Management Plan
Geocon will produce a single written Soil and Groundwater Management Plan (SGMP) for the project. The purpose of the SGMP is to describe actions to be implemented during excavation of soil within the project limits, in the event that unknown contamination and/or subsurface features are encountered in the soil. The SGMP provides the following information and guidelines:
• Project Contact List and Notification Procedures: The SGMP will identify names and phone numbers of project contacts and will summarize emergency notification procedures. Project contacts are expected to include construction personnel and City of Fortuna representatives.
• Contractor Health and Safety Plans: The SGMP will summarize the responsibilities of the construction personnel with respect to worker health and safety during project activities.
• Soil and Groundwater Management: The SGMP will describe soil management procedures to be implemented during excavation such as the following:
o Periodic observation of exposed and excavated soil for indications of potential contamination (e.g., discoloration, chemical odor). o If necessary, remedial soil excavation and segregation of apparent contaminated and non- impacted soil.
o Soil stockpiling procedures (e.g., use of plastic sheeting) and stormwater best management practices to control dust and stormwater and sediment runoff. o If encountered during excavation, removal, and temporary storage of groundwater.
o Excavation confirmation sample, soil stockpile waste characterization sample, and groundwater sample collection and laboratory chemical analysis procedures (e.g., sample containers, quantities and locations of samples, sampling methodologies, sample preservation and transportation). o Identification of off-site soil and groundwater disposal facilities, including location and contact names and phone numbers.
o Requirements for soil and groundwater handling and transportation (e.g., Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-trained personnel, trucks covered with tarps, water spraying).
• Laboratory Analyses: The SGMP will identify a laboratory to be used for chemical analysis of soil and groundwater samples and summarize information regarding the test methods for various chemicals of potential concern, sample holding times, sample preservation requirements, chain-of- custody procedures, laboratory turnaround-times, laboratory detection limits, and laboratory quality control procedures. • Cleanup Criteria: The SGMP will provide criteria to be used to determine whether impacted soil is suitable for on-site reuse or requires off-site disposal. Cleanup criteria may be based on, but not limited to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs), United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Regional Screening Level (RSLs), California hazardous waste criteria (e.g., total and soluble threshold limit concentrations), 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 8
and/or local City and County requirements.
• Project Documentation: The SGMP will describe documentation that is required to support project activities including copies of any required permits, field notes, and photographs, site plans with sample locations, laboratory reports, waste transportation manifests and/or bills of lading, disposal facility waste acceptance certifications, periodic project summary memos and/or reports, and a completion report.

Prior to subsurface exploration, Geocon will obtain an encroachment permit from the City and Caltrans for exploration within their right of ways and easements. It is assumed that the permit swill be issued with no fees.

It’s assumed that field work will be conducted outside the shoulders of the roadways and temporary traffic control will not be required.

The sampling and analysis conducted in this task is for preliminary characterization prior to construction only. Additional laboratory testing would be necessary to characterize soil for disposal.

Task 3.5. LandscapeDesignandRetainingWall Aesthetic Concepts GHD will prepare a landscape concept that will establish the landscape approach that will be included in the design plans for bidding and construction. The landscape design concepts will be included in a single Concept Design Package that will include the following:
• Text and schedules identifying design intent, material section, and preliminary plant list.
• One colored illustrative plan exhibit of the landscape design for each roundabout. • One photo montage of proposed plant materials.
• Up to two three-Dimensional (3D) visualizations of the proposed roundabout landscape design.
• Up to two retaining wall aesthetic concepts.

Task 3.5 Products/Deliverables
• Landscape conceptual design
• Retaining Wall Aesthetic Concepts
• As part of this task GHD will develop up to three aesthetic concepts for the retaining walls. Aesthetic concepts will be illustrated by hand on wall elevation drawings illustrating concrete textures, colors, and other aesthetic details to further illustrate and compare the alternative concepts. The final aesthetic concepts will be incorporated in the final retaining wall design plans.

Task 3.6. Design Standard Decision Document and Project ReportUpdate GHD will update the Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 78 checklist that was prepared in the PA&ED phase for review and approval by Caltrans. This scope assumes there will be both underlined and bold- faced design exceptions, all of which are supported by Caltrans.

Following Caltrans concurrence, GHD will prepare a Design Standard Decision Document (DSDD) for the design exceptions identified in the DIB78 checklist. The scope also assumes that the acceleration and deceleration areas of the merging and diverging ramps will not be modified by the project (e.g. ramp extension is beyond the scope of the project).

If the project includes any substitutive design changes from what was developed in the PA&ED 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 9
phase, then as part of this task GHD will also update the previously approved project.

Task 3.7.3. Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) The desired project design footprint will result in impacts to delineated wetlands and Sensitive Natural Communities. Permitting agencies, including the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department, the Regional Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will require a HMMP. Wetland mitigation will be described in accordance with the most current Regional Compensatory Mitigation and Monitoring Guidelines for South Pacific Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which also satisfies requirements from the Regional Water Board. GHD will prepare a HMMP to quantify the area of impacted wetland type and Sensitive Natural Community. The HMMP will propose a detailed plan for creation of new protected habitats at the ratio required by regulatory agencies. The detailed plan will identify the location of creation areas, document success criteria, outline monitoring and 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 10
reporting requirements, and describe provisions for adaptive management, financial assurances, and site maintenance. The HMMP will be developed in coordination with City prior to submission to permitting agencies.

• Draft and Final NEPA revalidation form and APE map alternatives analysis Task 3.7.5. CEQA Addendum
A CEQA Addendum is not currently required; however, GHD has budgeted to include a CEQA addendum to support a future adjustment to a project boundary of other design element as the design progresses. The CEQA addendum will document the project change. GHD assumes no new mitigation will be required.

Task 3.7.5. Products/Deliverables
• Draft and Final CEQA Addendum
• In-person attendance at one Planning Commission or City Council meeting Task 4. Utility Coordination
Initial notifications to utility companies will be made early in the PS&E phase. Work under this task will be consistent with the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Chapter 14 and relevant portions of the Right of Way Manual.

The preliminary utility conflict maps prepared in the PA&ED phase will be utilized at the beginning of the PS&E phase to coordinate with all potentially affected utility companies, the City, Great Redwood Trail Agency, and Caltrans, to identify the existing and planned facilities owned, operated, and maintained by the respective entity, including both underground and overhead. GHD will coordinate efforts with each entity, up to two meetings each, to prepare the PS&E package.

GHD will contact the utility companies that are impacted by the project and request that the utility companies verify the location of existing facilities within the project area.

If necessary, a second set of plans will be provided to the utility companies showing sufficient horizontal and vertical information to enable them to determine the impact of the proposed City facilities on existing utility facilities (Letter C process).

GHD will identify potential points of conflict between proposed facilities and existing or proposed utility company facilities. Based on PA&ED information, a number of utilities will be impacted by the project, including but not limited to:
• A joint trench (12 Kv PG&E electrical line, Optimum communication line, and PG&E gas main).
• An underground AT&T communication line.
• A joint overhead lines (12 Kv PG&E electrical line and Optimum communication line). • A PG&E distribution gas line.
12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 11
• Overhead AT&T telephone.
• An underground AT&T communication line.
• Various City- and Caltrans-owned drainage facilities (storm drainpipes, culverts, drain inlets).
• City-owned water lines.

GHD will coordinate resolution of these problems by working with the City and utility company personnel, including arranging for utility potholing by a GHD approved vendor, to verify location of any high priority facilities. Copies of the utility locations provided to GHD by the utility companies will be submitted to the City. For purposes of this contract, an allowance for up to $15,000 is allocated for potholing. The City will be responsible for costs above the $15,000 allowance.

Once initial coordination efforts are completed with the utility owners, and since minor relocations like adjustments are the only things anticipated for the project at this time, GHD will support the City in drafting the notice to the owners as required per Caltrans LAPM. GHD will include the design of minor adjustments to City and Caltrans-owned water and drainage utilities in the project design. It’s assumed that the City will be responsible for the preparations of the utility Data Sheets and Utility Certifications.

Task 4. Products/Deliverables
• Updated Utility Relocation Exhibits by owner with information as required • Utility ‘B’ Letters
• Utility ‘C’ Letters
Task 5. Final Design Documents
Task 5.1. FinalConcept DesignReviewand Modifications
Based on the previous geometric design work that was completed in the PA&ED phase, and upon review and approval of the same by the City, GHD will prepare and submit Final Concept Design Review and Modifications plans which incorporate the following requested areas of study into the concept plan:
• Review the need for geometric updates per more recent design standard updates. • Access driveway to the former Palco Mill Site. The project was designed with access to the former Palco Mill site accommodating their current pattern for ingress/egress. Since the development of the initial design concept, the site has since sold and is under review for redevelopment. Prior to beginning the PS&E phase of this project, GHD will review the geometries of the eastern roundabout to determine if modifications could be made to compliment access to the Mill property. Current design ideas under consideration include modifying the roundabout geometry to introduce another roundabout leg or relocating the driveway to the east and including an appropriate two-way left turn lane.

As part of this design review and modification, the City will provide traffic generation data as projected by the developer.
• Great Redwood Trail Agency Integration. The Great Redwood Trail Agency now owns and operates the former North Coast Railroad right of way that transects the project site on the east side of the highway. The current project design assumes that the right of way is converting to use as a Class I trail, and the design incorporates this facility into a series of crossings along Kenmar Road. As a requirement of rail banking, the City will also need to demonstrate that the proposed roundabout design could accommodate the right of way reverting to use as a railroad. To support this requirement, GHD will develop figures and preliminary designs showing how the rail implementation could be achieved per applicable design guidelines. The figures will be included 12643939 | Kenmar Interchange PS&E Scope 12
in a memo that will be provided to the Great Redwood Trail Agency for review.

The scope assumes one meeting with Palco Mill and Great Redwood Trail Agency representatives to discuss these modifications.

Substantive changes in addition to what is described about would require an amendment.

Task 5.1. Products/Deliverables
• Concept Plan Exhibits
• Great Redwood Trail Agency Design Memo
Task 5.2. 30% Plans and Estimates
Based on review and approval of the design concept developed during task 5.1 by the City, GHD will prepare and submit updated 30% design plans and updated cost estimates per Caltrans requirements to produce refined estimates of probable construction costs for all elements of the proposed project.

Existing base maps will be developed into design drawings which will clearly illustrate the limits of construction, type of construction, and other items necessary for the construction of the facility.

Task 5.2. Products/Deliverables
• 30% Plans andEstimate
Task 5.3. 60% Plans and Estimates
Based on the previous 30% design and upon review and approval of the same by the City, GHD will prepare and submit 60% design plans and updated cost estimates per Caltrans requirements to produce refined estimates of probable construction costs for all elements of the proposed project.

GHD will also identify (i.e. specifications outline) the Standard Special Provisions (SSPs) and potential Non-Standard Specifications (NSPs) that will be developed for the project in the subsequent 90% and 100% design tasks.

GHD will provide a formal comment resolution table identifying all design review comments received on the previous geometric drawings.

GHD will prepare detailed quantities, including a draft bid schedule with estimated quantities and unit prices, note that quantity sheets will be deferred to 90%. This estimate will also identify any additive/alternate bid items to include in the contract documents, such as specialty or decorative items, to be included in the roundabout center island. The engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost for the project will be revised using the most recent and relevant Caltrans cost data, as well as the City’s cost data, if available.

Once the City and Caltrans receive the 60% design submittal, GHD will schedule a meeting with the City and PDT members to review the revisions on the 60% design submittal package.

Following this review session(s), GHD will prepare the 90% design submittal.

Mitigation Wetland Design
GHD will develop a mitigation design to support mitigation for one-parameter, three-parameter, SNCs, and riparian trees impacted by the project. GHD will install and monitor piezometers to collect groundwater data in mitigation site locations identified by the city.

GHD will subsequently develop grading plans and specifications to be incorporated into the design and bid package.
