TASK2 PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
Task 2.1 Preliminary Studies and Reports
Task 2.1.1 Surveys I Basemap (By City)
Horizontal and Vertical Control
Horizontal and vertical project control will be established for the project area. The survey control will be tied into the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), California State Plane Coordinate System Zone 4, and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Survey control monuments will be established outside of anticipated construction area, so these points may be used by the design team and future construction teams. GPS and Digital levels will be utilized to establish the horizontal and vertical components. Aerial targets will be set and tied to the project control network before the topographic surveys are conducted.
Topographic Surveys
Aerial mapping and conventional ground survey methods will be utilized to complete the topographic surveys of the grade separations at McKinley and Blackstone Avenues, the BNSF Railroad, and other areas of interest. This includes the location of underground utilities and potholing.
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
The aerial mapping will capture the project limits as defined by the AECOM Team and City and will be tied into the horizontal and vertical control established for the project.
Topographic "boots on the ground" field surveys will be performed the City of Fresno Survey Team. The ground surveys will typically include top of curb, flowline, lip of gutter, edge of pavement, front and back of walk, medians, parkway facilities, curb returns, driveways, poles, lamps, grade breaks, and surface visible indications of utilities within these defined limits. The aerial mapping and topographic data will be downloaded, processed, and tied to the horizontal and vertical control established for this project. The data will be plotted in CAD and a digital terrain model (DTM) created for the existing ground surface. As a separate cost, a digital orthophoto will be prepared over the extents of the aerial mapping defined above. The final deliverables will include the digital terrain model, topographic data plotted in MicroStation (or other City drafting platform), and an ASCII file of the topographic survey points.
For this project, the City will perform all the topographic survey tasks including the location of utility markings but excluding the ground surveys for the BNSF Railroad. All "supplemental" topographic surveys will be collected using a total station for hard surface features. The City will process the data using Trimble Business Center software or similar.
Land Net Mapping
A centerline and land net survey will be performed by the City for the streets, alley ways offsite improvement area and the BNSF right-of-way within the project limits. Cadastral research will be performed with the County of Fresno, the City of Fresno, and Caltrans District 6 for available right-of-way maps, corner records, and centerline tie notes within the project limits. Centerline and other key monuments will be recovered and tied into the project controls. The centerlines of Blackstone and McKinley Avenues and the intersecting streets will be computed and mapped.
The City will file two Records of Survey to meet the requirements of the California Professional Land Surveyors' Act Section 8762. The first will be the pre-construction Record of Survey over the affected parcels and the second will depict the newly monumented right-of-way.
Task 2.1.1 Deliverables by the City
• Land net mapping file (Civil 3D) to AECOM
• Legal descriptions and plats (8.5x11 pdf) to AECOM

Task 2. 1.2 Environmental (Optional)
Lead Compliance Plan
Elevated lead concentrations exist in soils along older roadways as a result of aerially deposited lead (AOL) from the historical use of leaded gasoline. The AECOM Team will PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
evaluate the presence, concentration, and distribution of lead in soil prior to grading/construction activities. The data will be used to evaluate soil within the proposed construction area to assess the potential for reuse on the project, or to evaluate disposal options for potentially lead-impacted soil, and to evaluate health and safety issues for future on-site workers. Boreholes will be advanced every 20 feet within the project limits along the road/rail right-of-way. Hand augers will be advanced to 1-foot below ground surface, soil sample collected from 1-foot bgs and analyzed for CAM 17 metals, including lead. A report will be prepared with conclusions and recommendations and analytical result~.
In the event that lead impacted soil is discovered in shallow soil beneath the site, Soar Environmental will prepare a site-specific work, and health and safety plan, provide project management and coordination, advance shallow borings, collect appropriate soil samples, submit to an accredited laboratory, prepare a report of our findings, and communicate with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to potentially reuse lead impacted soil on the Project, similar to the Soil Management Agreement DTSC has established with Caltrans. If elevated lead concentrations are discovered in the Project footprint, Soar Environmental will prepare a Lead Compliance Plan to describe the Best Management Practices implemented to prevent/reduce Project activities from emitting airborne lead, the health and safety of construction workers and the public, administrative controls, monitoring, sampling, reporting, and record keeping.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
The AECOM Team will research to estimate the potential for hazardous substances or petroleum product impacts (i.e., levels warranting regulatory cleanup action) to the Site.
For the purposes of this Phase I ESA, the "vicinity" of the Site is defined as by the 29 Parcels located within ¼ mile of the Site.
The scope of services for the Phase I ESA will include:
• Reconnaissance of the Site to assess for the presence or make visual observations of indicators of the potential existing presence, of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or soil and/or groundwater impacts on the Site. These indicators may include 55-gallon drums, underground and aboveground storage tanks, chemical containers, waste storage and disposal areas, industrial facilities, discolored surficial soils, electrical transformers that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and areas conspicuously absent of vegetation. If access is unavailable to any portions of the Site, our ability to complete the assessment described herein may be hindered. Wetlands delineation, asbestos and lead containing paint surveys, and testing for lead in drinking water, radon, and methane gas are not included in the Phase I ESA scope of services.
• Performing a visual survey of adjacent properties from the Site and from public thoroughfares to observe general types of land use surrounding the Site. • Reviewing the Standard Environmental Records Sources: Federal and State as referenced in ASTM Designation E 1527-13 and 40 CFR Part 312 to obtain information regarding the potential presence of hazardous substances/petroleum hydrocarbons on the Site or on properties located within the approximate minimum search distance specified for each source. The records searched will include registries or publicly available lists of recorded engineering and institutional controls, and recorded land use restrictions for properties/facilities with the potential to impact or have impacted the Site.
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
• Reviewing reasonably ascertainable regulatory agency files for the Site and/or properties in the vicinity of the Site with environmental conditions that could potentially impact the Site. The sources for these files could include Fresno County Environmental Health, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
• Contacting local public agencies by telephone or in writing to obtain readily ascertainable information regarding underground storage tank permits, agriculture-related permits and violations, air emission permits and violations, and electrical transformers. The information would be obtained for the Site and adjacent properties. The agencies contacted may include the building department, the local air pollution control agency, the agricultural commissioner's office, and gas and/or electric utility companies.
• Reviewing pertinent and reasonably ascertainable information sources to evaluate physiographic, geologic, and hydrogeologic conditions in the vicinity of the Site. • Reviewing EDR Sanborn, Inc. Fire Insurance Maps for the Site and vicinity (if available to obtain information concerning the historical uses of the Site and the potential presence of underground storage tanks on the Site.
• Reviewing and interpreting reasonably ascertainable historical aerial photographs to obtain information concerning the historical use of the Site and adjacent properties. • Reviewing United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps to obtain information relative to the topography of the Site, as well as previous development and uses of the Site and properties located in the vicinity of the Site.
• Reviewing documents provided by the Client, at their discretion. Potentially useful documents may include geotechnical, geologic, and environmental reports, site plans, plot plans, and correspondence with regulatory agencies.
• Reviewing California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) records to obtain information regarding the locations of potential oil and gas wells on the Site and site vicinity.
• Reviewing recorded land title records for the Site in accordance with the requirements identified in 40 CFR Part 312, if requested. The purpose of obtaining a chain-of-title report is to assess whether any requirements regarding engineering and institutional controls have been recorded for the Site, and whether any land use restrictions and/or environmental cleanup liens are associated with the Site. As an alternative, we can order an environmental lien report for the Site for an additional fee.
• conducting interviews by telephone or in writing with present and past tenants/owners of the Site to evaluate if present or past occupants have used, generated, stored, or disposed of hazardous materials/wastes onsite.
• preparing a report summarizing the findings of the Phase I ESA and qualitatively describing the potential for environmental impairment of the Site. If necessary, we will also provide recommendations for additional environmental services in the report.
Project Screening : Regulatory Agency and Other Records Review - The AECOM Team will review reasonably ascertainable records that will help identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) in connection with the Site. These records include federal and state regulatory agency lists of hazardous waste generators, leaking underground storage tanks (USTs), landfills, military reservations, contaminated surface waters, and Superfund sites. These lists, as well as reasonably ascertainable existing documentation as cited below, will be reviewed to assess whether there were prior investigations or events and conditions, or institutional or engineering controls on the PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
property and in the immediate vicinity, relating to spills, discharges, or other activities resulting in contamination or presence of hazardous materials. Kleinfelder will review previously conducted environmental assessments of the subject site (as provided by the client) and standard environmental record sources, which include published lists of regulatory agency investigations and/or enforcement actions, for facilities located near the Site.
The AECOM Team will enhance and supplement the standard environmental record sources with local and/or additional state or tribal records when, in our judgment, such additional records are readily ascertainable, sufficiently useful, accurate, and complete in light of the record review objective, and are generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice, in ISAs in the type of commercial real estate transaction involved.
Sources of such records may include the local department of health/environmental division, fire department, planning department, building permiUinspection department, local regional pollution control agency, local/regional water control agency, and local electric utility company.
Physical Setting Review - The physical setting review is required by the Standard Practice to include a current United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 Minute Topographic Map. The review may also include discretionary physical setting sources, e.g. for geologic and hydrogeologic information. This information may provide insight to the significance of offsite sources of contamination in relation to the Site. When discretionary hydrogeologic information is available and reviewed, where possible we will estimate the regional direction of groundwater flow and discuss how this might affect the potential for identified offsite sources of contamination to impact the Site. Specific sources of physical setting information may include:
• United States Geological Survey reports and maps;
• Information provided by public agencies (e.g., state department of water resources, local flood control district, local or county water agency);
• Information from previous Kleinfelder experience in the area; and • Information provided by the Client (e.g., previous investigation or soils reports).
Historical Land Use Review - The AECOM Team will research historical information sources to develop a history of general types of previous uses of the Site and surrounding area (e.g., office, retail, residential, industrial, and manufacturing). Obvious uses of the Site will be identified from the present back to the Site's first developed use, or back to 1940, whichever is earlier. The review will include as many standard historical sources as are necessary and both reasonably ascertainable and likely to be useful. For the purpose of this review, "developed use" includes agricultural use and placement of fill dirt. The review will include documentation of gaps in the history of use.
Uses of the area surrounding the Site will be identified only to the extent that this information is revealed in the course of researching the Site itself. The following information sources may be used, as necessary, to research the Site history:
• Aerial photographs;
• USGS topographic maps;
• Fire insurance maps (e.g., The Sanborn Library, LLC Fire Insurance Maps); PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
• Local street directories;
• Property tax files;
• Recorded land title records;
• Building department records; and
• Zoning/land use records.
Site Reconnaissance - The AECOM Team will perform a reconnaissance of the Site by driving along the project corridor. Where appropriate and safe, The AECOM Team will perform additional Site reconnaissance on foot. It is assumed that no structures are included in the project area and interior observations of structures are not included. The AECOM Team will observe the property and its current use with the unaided eye, and thereby obtain information indicating the likelihood of identifying evidence of RECs in connection of the Site. The Site property located on the Site will be observed to the extent not obstructed by bodies of water, adjacent buildings, or other obstacles. The periphery of the Site will be viewed from all adjacent public thoroughfares. If roads or paths with no apparent outlet are observed on the Site, the use of the road or path will be identified to assess whether it was likely used as an avenue for disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products. During the site inspection, the AECOM Team will photographically document conditions at the time of the Site visit.
Vicinity Survey - The AECOM Team will perform a reconnaissance of immediately adjoining properties to observe the properties' current use and past use(s) to the extent that past uses are discernible. This survey will be performed to note facilities that have an obvious potential to affect the environmental conditions at the Site. However, these properties may be observed without physical access.
Interviews - The AECOM Team will interview past and present owners and occupants, with the objective of obtaining information indicating RECs in connection with the Site.
The interviews should include a "Key Site Manager," a person with good knowledge of the uses and physical characteristics of the property. The Client will be responsible for supplying the contact information, including name and telephone number, of the Key Site Manager. If reasonably possible, Kleinfelder will attempt to interview the Key Site Manager at the time of the Site visit.
The AECOM Team will also make a reasonable attempt to interview at least one staff member of the local fire department that serves the property, the local/regional office of the health agency that serves the area, the local/regional agency having jurisdiction over hazardous waste disposal, or the local/regional agency responsible for the issuance of building permits or groundwater use permits.
Report and ISA Determination - The AECOM Team will provide a final report that will include an evaluation of the information obtained from the ISA. The report will include findings, opinions, and conclusions. The report will include illustrations and pertinent regulatory agency documentation regarding the Site.
The report will also include the ISA Checklist and "Yes or No" Determination from Caltrans Project Development Procedures manual (07/01/99), Appendix DD-Hazardous Waste.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
The Phase II ESA scope will be determined after completion of the Phase I ESA(s). For simplicity at this stage of the project, we are assuming every parcel will require a Phase II ESA. The following is general description of the Phase II ESA for the 29 parcels. The AECOM Team will mark the ground with white paint and call Underground Service Alert to notify utility subscribers to identify the location of their utilities. The AECOM Team will retain Ground Penetrating Radar Services for utility clearance of each planned boring location.
The AECOM Team will advance direct-push borings at parcel to observe subsurface conditions to maximum depth of 20 feet and to collect soil samples. In each boring we will collect a soil core by pushing clean, stainless-steel, hollow rods fitted with 4-foot long clear acetate liners to a maximum depth of 6 feet. As the push rods are driven downward, the acetate liners fill with soil (the soil core). Following removal of the soil cores from the drive rods, the soil types in the cores will be logged in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System by our field geologist working under the supervision of a California Professional Geologist. Any visual evidence of contamination or fill will be noted on the log and readings from the photoionization detector. Soil samples will then be collected from the soil cores at the desired depths by cutting 6- inch-long sections from the core and capping them with Teflon® sheets and polyethylene end caps. Soil samples will be collected at one-foot-depth intervals starting at one foot below ground surface and continuing to the termination depth. Each sample will be labeled with a unique sample ID, date and time of collection, sampler's initials, and the project name and number then will be placed in a cooler with ice for transport to the laboratory under chain- of-custody. Borings will be backfilled as described in City of Fresno specifications.
The AECOM Team will retain Torrent Laboratory of Milpitas, California for laboratory chemical analysis of soil samples. Contaminants of Concern (COCs) will be determined upon completion of the Phase I ESA. The following is a summary of anticipated COCs and corresponding analysis:
• Residential Parcels (5): CAM 17 metals, organochlorine pesticides • Current and Former Automotive Industrial Parcels (21 ): Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons - gasoline, diesel , and motor oil, oil and grease , volatile organic compounds , and CAM 17 metals • Industrial Parcels with Manufacturing (1 ): Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons - gasoline , diesel, and motor oil, oil and grease, volatile organic compounds, CAM 17 metals, and polychlorinated biphenyls
• FMFCD Basin and Vacant Parcel (2): Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons - gasoline, diesel, and motor oil, oil and grease, volatile organic compounds, CAM 17 metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons .
• The AECOM Team will prepare a Phase II ESA report for describing the field investigation, laboratory analysis of samples and presenting our findings. The reports will include:
o Project description including the purpose and objectives ; o Description of field activities ;
o Description of observed soil conditions :
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS

Task 2. 1.3 Hydrology I Hydraulic
AECOM will research existing drainage facilities currently tributary to the project area to determine existing flow paths and tributary watersheds. Proposed roadway inlet locations and tributary areas will be based on preliminary geometrics. Rational Method Calculations will be prepared using input from the FMFCD for existing watersheds.
Roadway inlet flows will be calculated based on City of Fresno requirements for a 100- year return frequency (Note 100 year return selected due to sump risk). Allowable outflow to FMFCD collection systems will be calculated based on a 2-year return frequency. The required pump station capacity and storage volume will be determined based on the difference between the two flow rates.
A conceptual level evaluation of three pump station alternatives will be conducted utilizing the calculated flows.
• Pump to existing 30" FMFCD pipeline in McKinley Avenue • Pump to existing 30" FMFCD pipeline in Blackstone Avenue • Pump through a new pipeline to existing FMFCD Basin CC, with pumping to FID Dry Creek Concept layouts of facility improvements and concept-level construction and operations and maintenance cost estimates will be developed for comparison of alternatives.
Additional easement or right-of-way needs will be identified. The advantages and disadvantages of each pump station alternative will be determined and evaluated. The results of the above analysis will be summarized in a draft Hydrology and Hydraulics Study. Upon review and receipt of comments from the City of Fresno and the FMFCD, the recommended alternative will be described in a final Hydrology and Hydraulics Study.

Task 2. 1.4 Traffic Analyses
Construction Traffic Impact Analyses (by City}
The AECOM Team will provide a request to the City for traffic modeling to be performed by the City for construction detour influences on traffic circulation in the project area.
The City will provide AECOM the results of model runs for AECOM to evaluate and prepare construction and traffic control strategies that will allow for the movement of all travel modes through the construction area per the city's specifications. Capacity analysis will be conducted for roadways by the City where the number of travel lanes are reduced and consideration will be given to providing roadway improvements on alternate routes. Examples of roadway improvements that will be considered include:
• Addition of turn lanes or through lanes
• Modification of traffic signal phasing
• Modification of signal timing
• Signing changes
• Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) improvements It is assumed that this analysis will be conducted for three construction phases and that up to 12 intersections will be included. Although there will be many more phases of construction, many will be similar from the point of view of traffic and three critical phases will be selected. It is also assumed that the traffic analysis for the construction area and alternate routes will consist of 12 intersections and 12 roadway segments.
If it is decided to provide roadway improvements on alternate routes, the AECOM Team can provide the traffic engineering design for the improvements (traffic signal design, signing, and striping) as an '., ,,: ,11 , 1 task. This additional service would be provided upon negotiation of additional scope and fee and upon separate notice to proceed.
Funding could be obtained from the contingency budget for this service.
This task will include the following detailed steps:
• The City will prepare the transportation analysis scoping to identify the detailed methodology for the study
• Identify study area
• The City will obtain traffic counts.
• Existing traffic signal timing from the City of Fresno will be provided. • The City will conduct capacity analysis using the Synchro traffic signal timing program or equivalent intersection capacity analysis software
• The City will provide AECOM the traffic analyses results. • AECOM will assess the traffic analyses results and make recommended roadway improvements and/or modifications to the construction process to provide for facilitated multimodal transportation movements
• Document the results of the analysis describe above in a technical memorandum • Participate in up to 8 virtual project meetings to discuss the study Parking Study of Construction Impacts to College Access (Optional) For each major phase of construction, the AECOM Team will conduct an analysis to determine the potential impacts of the construction on parking and parking access to Fresno City College. In addition, PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS

Task 2.1.5 Geotechnical
Geotechnical Design & Materials Report
A Preliminary Geotechnical Design & Materials Report (PGDR) will be prepared and will address the intersection improvements at Blackstone and McKinley Avenues extending approximately 650 feet west, 375 feet east, 350 feet north, and 850 feet south of the intersection. Improvements will also include E. Home Avenue extending approximately 280 feet west of Blackstone Avenue. The PGDR will generally include roadway corridor improvements, temporary shoring, excavation, earthwork, new pavements, retaining walls, underground utilities, various signs, and lighting. The 42-inch RTM within McKinley avenue will utilize a combination of traditional cut and cover installation except for a possible jack and bore installation for one alternative alignment being considered beneath the BNSF railroad at E. Home Avenue. The PGDR will address the following:
• Research and Data Collection: Review of readily available geologic and soil literature in the vicinity of the site.
• Permits/USA Clearances: We will comply with local permit requirements. Borings are assumed to be performed within the City of Fresno right-of way and private property, which will require City of Fresno Encroachment Permit and Well Construction Permits to complete the proposed investigation. We assume permit fees for the City of Fresno Encroachment and Well Construction permits will be waved. It is assumed that the City of Fresno will allow borings to be performed within daylight hours between 7 AM and 4PM. If the City requires the work to be performed at night due to traffic congestion concerns, additional costs will be incurred due to traffic control and wages that would require budget augmentation from the contingency fund. • Field locate the borings, call for Underground Service Alert (USA), and use ground penetrating radar (GPR) for clearance of utilities at boring locations. We also assume that the City of Fresno or AECOM will provide Kleinfelder and our subcontractors access to the private properties to perform select borings primarily near the railroad property. • Field Exploration: We will perform the borings and for both the roadway widening and bridges concurrently. The boring program for the borings associated with the roadway improvements is provided in the table below.

Task 2.2 Conceptual Design
Task 2.2. 1 Utility Coordination - Utility A Letters
To verify the existence of utility facilities, the results of the Utility 'A' Letters previously sent out by the City will be reviewed involving: BNSF Signal, Sprint, Level 3, AT&T, Comcast, City of Fresno ITS, City of Fresno (Water/Sewer), Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, PG&E (Gas Distribution/Gas Transmission/Electric Distribution). The nominal budget for this task will provide for up to 2 additional 'A' Letters that may have been missed by the City and need to be sent.
A record map search will be performed as another measure to identify/verify the existence of utilities.
Task 2.2.2 Design Criteria Memorandum
The AECOM Team will prepare a design criteria memorandum that will summarize in detail what the controlling criteria will be to design this project. This memorandum will include criteria and design standards for:
• Structures design,
• Roadway design,
• Stormwater system,
• Sewer system, and
• Railroad design.
This memorandum will be submitted to the City for review and comments. Once finalized, the AECOM Design Team will use this memorandum as a guide throughout design.
Task 2.2.3 Alternatives Analyses (Conceptual Plans)
This task involves alternatives analyses for various disciplines involving - Utility Relocations, Shoofly Alignments, Roadway Profiles, Roadway Cross Sections, Traffic Handling Scenarios, Stormwater Pump Station Outfalls Options, Bridge and Retaining Wall Types, and Aesthetic Themes. Workshops with the City and Key Stakeholders will be held to evaluate the alternatives. These alternatives will be evaluated collectively or individually as needed. Design and contract plans will be developed utilizing AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 for its capability with filesharing across the AECOM Team.
Utility Relocation Corridors
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
Six concept-level alternative alignment corridors have been identified for the realigning utilities located within the project area. We will coordinate with the City to determine final corridors to consider for alternatives analyses. The AECOM Team will study up to 6 corridors for utility relocation in and round the construction area of the grade separation construction limits. The study to relocate utilities will be performed at a concept level (10% design) as is needed to inform the alternatives analyses and alternatives selection. This concept design will include plan and profiles for up to 3 corridors for each of the utility types.
Wet utilities to be relocated include water mains (grid mains and the Regional Transmission Main (RTM)), sewer mains, telecommunication, gas, and electrical/power within Blackstone Avenue, McKinley Avenue, and Home Avenue. The study will include recommendations for locating a possible sewer pump station. The AECOM Team study will consider feasibility of the realignment within the defined corridors, constructability, engineering, and overall cost. Sewer realignment will consider gravity flow alignments as well as an alignment within the depressed roadway which will require a sewer pump station. This study will consider initial analyses of a sewer pump station.
Dry utilities will be considered for relocation in the alternative alignment corridors. This study will reflect coordination with owners of each utility and will involve the following:
Potholing - The initial phase of utility potholing will occur during this study phase to initially locate utilities in critical locations that will influence concept design. It is assumed that approximately 10 potholes and 20 electronic detections (e-detects) for this study. Surveying of potholes will be performed by the City. This will need to be verified during the study phase and adjusted if needed. If more potholing and e detects are required, additional funding could be obtained from the contingency budget.
Hydraulic Modeling - Hydraulic modeling will be performed for the potential alternate alignments for water and sewer mains to assist and determining the feasibility of relocation concepts. Hydraulic modeling will be completed for appropriate corridors and will alternatives with and without a sewer pump station. The modeling results will be summarized into a technical memorandum.
Pump Station - The AECOM Team will recommend locations for the sewer pump station and will prepare concept layouts for consideration by the City. The AECOM Team will meet with the City to review the SCADA system requirements and quantify the desired remote monitoring and control signal features to be implemented at the local level and at the SCADA HMI. This meeting will involve identifying the hardware and software preferences and options, as well as potential system pitfalls, and challenges. This meeting will culminate in a technical memorandum summarizing this coordination.
Utility Relocation Corridor Alternatives Analyses Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Roadway Realignments
AECOM will consider temporary realignments of Blackstone Avenue and McKinley Avenue into adjacent properties planned to be acquired with this project. Consideration of these temporary realignments will be centered on maintaining traffic on these PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
Avenues during construction. The required depressed roadway profile will influence the viability of this analysis.
Roadway Alignment Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Roadway Profiles
AECOM will evaluate vertical profiles for Blackstone Avenue involving a design speed of40 mph given that the Mobility Strategy describes the City's plan to reduce the posted speed to 30 mph. McKinley Avenue will be evaluated for the design speed of 45 mph given the posted speed of 45 mph which will be maintained. These various design speeds will be applied to vertical profiles to evaluate the various impacts of each design speed. Vertical clearance requirements of the bridge underpasses will influence this evaluation which is dictated by bridge superstructure type or existing vertical clearances along the roadway corridor at the nearby freeways. Consideration will also be given to the possible benefits of reducing the roadway depression by raising the railroad track profile and lessen the extent of roadway conform limits. Each alternative will involve concept plan and profile.
Roadway Profiles Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Roadway Cross Sections
The AECOM Team will coordinate with City Departments to fully understand the goals and objectives of the City's Southern Blackstone Avenue Smart Mobility Strategy (Mobility Strategy) as it relates to the development of this project. Consideration will be given to minimize or avoid throwaway costs from constructing near-term features that would be reconstructed in the long-term implementation of this Mobility Strategy. This will involve designing a roadway that considers:
• Mobility strategy near-term (2 lanes+ parking + bike lanes) • AECOM near-term (3 lanes+ Bike Lanes)
• Mobility strategy long-term (2 lanes + BRT + cycle track) One typical section for each alternative on each road at the critical location of the BNSF underpass will be developed for each road.
Roadway Cross Sections Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Traffic Handling/ Detours
The AECOM Team will coordinate with City Departments to evaluate a design that considers short-term and long-term roadway closures. The duration of roadway closures will define construction staging and traffic handling design and will influence construction duration and construction cost.
The short-term closure will limit roadway closures to three-weeks for McKinley and Blackstone Avenues for the construction of the grade separation. This 3-week period would need to occur during the City College Christmas Break. This will require detailed PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
staging and traffic handling planning to accommodate maintaining two lanes of traffic in each direction on Blackstone Avenue and one lane in each direction on McKinley Avenue.
The long-term closure durations could be 9 to 15-months for McKinley and Blackstone Avenues simultaneously or 6 to 12-months for the Avenues independently. This could result in shorter duration of overall construction of the grade separations and reduced construction cost. This will also require detailed staging and traffic handling planning.
One concept layout will be prepared for each of the short-term and long-term alternatives.
Traffic Handling/ Detours Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Bridge and Retaining Wall Types
AECOM will provide a Type Selection Memo in accordance with Caltrans MTD 1-29 for both bridges and the retaining walls alternatives. A General Plan and General Plan Estimate for up to two different bridge alternatives and three retaining wall alternatives will be included each report. The report will summarize how each alternative is impacted by the geotechnical recommendations, right-of-way, roadway alignment, railroad clearances, aesthetics, environmental constraints, seismic impacts, constructability, stakeholder requirements, schedule, and cost. General Plan Estimates will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans Bridge Design Aids (BOA) 11-4. A draft copy of each Type Selection Memo including General Plan sheets, cost estimate, Design Memo, and Preliminary Foundation Report (by others) will be submitted to the City, PDT members and key stakeholders for review.
AECOM will develop conceptual structures alternative designs consistent with Caltrans Information and Procedures Guide Section 4-2. The Type Selection Memo will include the following structures:

A single alterative type selection study including the 4 bridge structures and the 20 retaining walls will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Caltrans' Memo to Designers (MTD) 1-29 and any applicable AREMA or BNSF Railway Guidelines.
The work includes the Advanced Planning Studies, Preliminary Foundation Reports.
Both structural and visual design criteria will be used in developing General Plan details.
This includes performing preliminary analysis to aid development of structural elements such as depth and type of the superstructure, size and shape of column members, footing sizes, and abutment types. The analysis will be consistent with the preliminary nature of design.
The Type Selection Memo will include discussions noted above and will consist of a type selection memo, and a vicinity map, General Plans, construction cost estimates, for each of the structures.
AECOM will be prepared to discuss and provide information on foundation requirements, falsework requirements, seismic and aesthetic considerations, traffic handling, construction cost and other pertinent information that is needed to determine the proper structure type. This is the "Structure Type Selection" process and no further design work will be performed until written approval of the structure type is received from the City. Bridge and Retaining Wall Types Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternatives for further design.
Shoofly Alignments
The AECOM Team will support the processing of encroachment permits with BNSF for performance of the design team's site investigations.
The AECOM Team will perform a site visit to observe existing conditions and review project goals and objectives with the project team. Detailed photo contact sheets will be prepared. Based on input from the City and project team, site investigations performed by others (survey, geotechnical and utility data) and applicable standards, we will prepare up to 3 alternatives for achieving the shoofly necessary for construction of the underpass.
The shoofly designs will be prepared as high-level concepts on a scroll print with profiles shown based on the topographic data provided. Preparation of separate drawing sheets for the shooflies is not included. Where appropriate, we will include a separate plan and profile drawing for the final condition, where the track restoration profile or alignment will be different from the existing condition. Each shoofly alternative PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
will involve one sheet of typical section(s), conceptual layout of the temporary at-grade crossings, and a description of construction phasing.
Variances of BNSF or other standards will be identified and discussed with the City for their merits and strategy to be pursued with BNSF.
Shoofly conceptual design will be evaluated with the structures, roadways and utilities.
Evaluation of additional alternatives, including consideration of a jack-and-bore or push box alternative, and preparation of additional exhibits can be provided for an additional fee, if beneficial. This additional service would be provided upon negotiation of additional scope and fee and upon separate notice to proceed. Funding could be obtained from the contingency budget for this service.
Three concept layouts and profiles will be prepared for 3 shoo-fly alternatives.
Shoofly Alignments Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Stormwater Pump Station Outfall
Three options for stormwater outfall have been identified. The AECOM Team will evaluate the three options which involve: the 30-inch storm pipe in McKinley Avenue, the 30-inch storm pipe in Blackstone Avenue, and to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) Drainage Area Basin CC directly and bypass existing conveyance systems.
Three primary criteria will influence the study of these options. The FMFCD limits the amount of flow into their conveyance system to 2-year event. The City requires that roadway projects convey a 50-year event. The balance between the 2-year event and the 50-year event will require a large sump to attenuate this volume of stormwater.
When considering the outfall to Basin CC, this basin is at capacity and currently pumps into nearby Dry Creek, but the flow is restricted to 24 cfs per the Fresno Irrigation District (FID). The AECOM Team will coordinate with FMFCD, the City, and FID when analyzing these options.
Once a stormwater pump station site and the required stormwater pump station flow rate are determined, we will develop a concept site plan for the stormwater pump station locations. It is assumed that the alternative will be to discharge to Basin CC. Design will account for temporary bypass pumping which will be designed by the contactor.
Three alternatives will be studied that include development of concept plans and profiles for the outfall to the 30-inch storm pipe in McKinley Avenue, the 30-inch storm pipe in Blackstone Avenue, and to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) Drainage Area Basin CC directly and bypass existing conveyance systems.
Stormwater Pump Station Outfall Options Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternative for further design.
Aesthetic Themes
The AECOM Team will meet with the City to review examples of aesthetic treatments and themes and discuss the landscape and aesthetics and understand any concerns that will affect the design approach, schedule and budget.
Conduct a site visit to photograph the site, review existing conditions, and analyze areas where future improvements are anticipated. This information shall be formulated into an PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
existing conditions/ site analysis diagram for use during public workshops. Photographs will be keyed into the drawings and will be available for use throughout the design process.
Participate / assist facilitating 1 stakeholder meeting to discuss aesthetic opportunities for the project. We will use this meeting to learn about the unique aspects that might influence the development of 3 theme alternatives.
Three aesthetic concept themes will be developed for the landscape and aesthetics based on information from City and stakeholders. The alternatives will identify the types of landscape and aesthetics site improvements with a description about concept. Each alternative will be distinct and offer a different approach to how site materials will be used. Elements that will be explored include but are not limited to:
• Bridge and retaining wall treatments/ patterns
• Design of public spaces/ plazas
• Pedestrian paving materials, seating materials, site furnishings imagery to support theming • Plant materials / opportunities for art, landforms
The concept themes will include concept plans and three main entrance perspective sketches.
Aesthetic Themes Workshop - The AECOM Team will conduct a workshop with City departments to collectively evaluate the alternatives and for the City to select the alternatives for further design. Once the concepts have been vetted with key stakeholders, the concepts will be shared with the community as part of the planned community meetings.
Conceptual-Level Construction Cost Estimates
Each the above 7 discipline alternatives analyses will include a conceptual-level cost estimate to inform the alternatives evaluation and selections. Estimates will be based on industry standard practices for developing engineer's construction estimates utilizing Caltrans cost data, RSmeans and Saylor, bid results from recent similar projects, and by obtaining material costs from suppliers.

The results of the alternatives analyses will be summarized in a Design Decision Document that describes the processes exercised to evaluate the alternatives, the actions taken to develop the project to key decision points, the alternative selections, and the basis for the alternative selections. During the development of the Design Decision Document, design will be advance the concept grade separation and utility relocations to 20% for the grade separation and 50% for the utility relocation.
Task 2.3.2 20% Grade Separation Plans & 50% Utility Relocation (and Site Demolition - by City) Plans
This task involves advancing the selected alternatives further into preliminary design.
This scope assumes that the utility relocation and property acquisition/site demolition will occur in advance of completing the grade separation design to clear the project area in preparation for the grade separation construction. It is assumed that the grade separation concept design and 50% utility relocation design will be performed concurrently, and that utility relocation will begin during the 60% Grade Separation PS&E task.
50% Regional Transmission Main & Water Main Designs
Design will generally include the following sheets: cover sheets, legend/note sheets, survey control sheets, utility crossing information sheets, plan and profile sheets, topographic and site plans, pump station layouts, mechanical sheets, structural sheets, civil details, corrosion protection details, and traffic control plans.
The AECOM Team has identified 2 possible alignment alternatives for realigning the RTM pipeline in McKinley Avenue - one that would realign the RTM around the grade separation site, and another within the grade separation site. It is assumed that the RTM will be relocated to the south side of McKinley Avenue within the depressed roadway.
The RTM will be designed consistent with the previous and recent RTM design of the same facility - cement-mortar lined and tape-coated welded steel pipe of the same size, including corrosion protection. Plan and profile sheets will be developed for the selected alignment option, as will various construction and civil details. Water grid mains will be included in this plan set as well and will be designed to be the same size and of the same materials as the existing mains.
50% design plans for the small diameter water main relocations located within Blackstone and McKinley Avenues will be developed.
50% Sewer Mains Design
PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
The AECOM Team has identified 2 possible alignment alternatives for realigning the gravity sewer main pipeline in Blackstone Avenue - one that would realign the sewer around the grade separation site, and another within the grade separation site. It is assumed that the sewer will be relocated near the current alignment in Blackstone Avenue within the depressed roadway. This will involve a sewer pump station. The sewer mains will be designed to be constructed of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe and will be a comparable size to the existing mains (sizes may vary based on materials and peak flows). The profile design will consider existing utilities and the slope to follow the depressed roadway profile . Design will account for temporary bypass pumping which will be designed by the contactor .
The AECOM Team will design relocation of the gravity sewer main in Home Avenue and will consider options for the existing 8-inch pipeline west of Blackstone Avenue. 50% Sewer Pump Station Design
The AECOM Team will design the sewer pump station based on the selected alternative alignment. The pump station will be designed for a flowrate of approximately 2,400 gallons per minute (gpm) and will consist of one below-grade circular concrete wet well with submersible non-clog pumps and below-grade concrete vaults for all valves, meters, pig launching stations and other required infrastructure. The wet well will be up to 12' in diameter with a flat concrete lid and aluminum access hatch. The wet well will be designed to have 2 to 3 pumps that are each capable of pumping at peak flowrate.
All electrical infrastructure, including but not limited to Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Motor Control Center, SCADA facilities, and automatic transfer switch, will be installed outdoors within weatherproof cabinets. No above-ground structures are required. The pump station will also include a back-up generator with a sound attenuating enclosure .
Odor control facilities will be designed to include factory assembled and skid mounted above-ground carbon canister odor control units and bioxide chemical storage tanks and feed pumps. An odor control study has been deemed not necessary for this project. It is not expected that emergency below-grade storage tanks are required to house wastewater in the event of a pump failure; the pump station will have full redundancy and will also include inlets and outlets to connect to a temporary trailer-mounted pump.
The pump station plans will be included in the 50% sewer utilities plans, and will include a topographic and demolition plan, a site grading plan, a site layout plan, mechanical drawings, structural drawings, pump station details, electrical and control design drawings and specifications.
A SCADA system block diagram will be prepared showing the proposed Instrument Control Panel interface with existing SCADA computer configuration, identifying hardware, and networking requirements. The latest generation of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) will be utilized at the time of project bidding. A list of SCADA system hardware will be prepared summarizing the recommended PLC, Operator Interface, Telemetry, and networking hardware to be utilized.

New 480V electric service from PG&E to supply normal power will need to be established. AECOM will:
• Coordination with local utility company (PG&E) for new low voltage service connection • New service application form completion and submittal • Service Connection Design and Construction Documents
The utility coordination will be for both the stormwater and sewer lift station.
The sewer lift station is anticipated to be located along Blackstone Avenue near the new BNSF Underpass. The lift station will transfer sewerage from as sump back to the existing sewer main in Blackstone Avenue south of the Underpass. Its estimated capacity is 2,400 gpm. It is expected that there will be 2 - 480V pumps in the lift station that will be equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and tied into the City's SCADA network. The electrical and control design deliverables for the sewer lift station are comparable to the stormwater pump station.
The sewer lift station may be avoided by rerouting sewer around the project site.
However, the AECOM team is prepared to design the lift station and this system is assumed for this scope of work.
50% Dry Utilities Design
It is customary for dry utility companies to perform their own design for their utilities.
AECOM has design contracts with various dry utility companies and this experience is relevant to this project. This experience involves telecommunications, gas mains, and power/electric. Consequently, as an · •. , ,n 1: ,, ,-- , AECOM can perform the design of the relocation of the dry utilities to appropriate standards for the various utility companies to approve .

utility relocation construction estimates will be updated for the selected alternative's advanced design. Estimates will be based on industry standard practices for developing engineer's construction estimates utilizing Caltrans cost data, RSmeans and Saylor, bid results from recent similar projects, and by obtaining material costs from suppliers.
Task 2.3.3 Identify Long Lead Items and Strategies:
As long-lead items can influence project schedules, the AECOM Team will identify such items and manage each related item for timely resolution. Such items include:
• Utility relocations
• BNSF coordination
• Other agency coordination as needed
• Right-of-way needs
• Environmental impacts / permits
• Hazardous materials
• Special materials/equipment for construction - traffic/RR signals, controllers, cabinets, poles, vaults, etc. (for ordering materials)
Task 2.3.4 Legal Descriptions, Plats and Appraisal Map (by City) Legal Descriptions, Plats and Appraisal Map
Legal descriptions and plats will be prepared to support the appraisal, acquisition of additional street right of way, easements, and temporary construction easements required for the project.
It is estimated that the City will prepare 9 plats and legal descriptions for partial right of way takes. A plat and legal will not be prepared for full takes. An additional 17 plats and legal descriptions is assumed for BNSF access and utility/retaining wall easements.
TCEs or other maintenance needs to be determined during the design process. The scope also includes up to 9 "show me stakes" for properties during the acquisition phase.
Approximately 27 preliminary title reports will be necessary to prepare the land net and to properly identify the limits of the affected parcels. From these title reports, the City will plot existing easements within the proposed project design limits.
The City will perform a post-construction Record of Survey over the memorialized revised right-of-way boundary and set new monuments for the revised right-of-way.

Design Contract Ex. A
construction activity. Activities such as clearing, grading, stockpiling and excavation are examples of ground disturbance activities requiring coverage under this permit. The CGP requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
The SWPPP describes requirements for monitoring the site prior to, during, and after rain events, implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce the potential for non-stormwater discharging offsite, managing stormwater run-on and run-off, and for erosion and sediment control BMPs. The City will develop the SWPPP, provide weekly SWPPP inspections, perform required stormwater monitoring, make recommendations for BMP implementation, collect stormwater samples, prepare reports of SWPPP activities, and, if requested, enter project related documents into the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) data portal, the Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) in accordance with conditions of the CGP.
Task 3. 1.3 Phase 2 Utility Detection and Potholing
Once the final corridor for utility relocation is selected, it is assumed that approximately 20 potholes and 40 e-detect locations will be performed for final design of the utility relocation, roadway and grade separation. Surveying of potholes will be performed by the City. If more potholing and e-detects are required, additional funding could be obtained from the contingency budget.
Task 3.1 Deliverables

Task 3.2 Milestones
❖ Right-of-Way Certification
Task 3.3 Obtain Permits
Task 3.3.1 Regulatory Permits
Incidental Take Permit (Ootionai)
An Incidental Take Permit (ITP) may be required for the project. In compliance with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) regulations, the ITP would allow for PW00937 BNSF Blackstone McKinley GS
Design Contract Ex. A
any incidental observations of sensitive species or habitat to be handled with appropriate mitigation measures on the project site. Historically, Fresno had suitable habitat for several species that are listed as "threatened" or "endangered" on the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) such as the San Joaquin kit fox, Fresno kangaroo rat, and tricolored blackbird. Due to urban sprawl, the habitat that was viable for most species has been decimated and the sightings of sensitive species have been few and far between. However, with places like Woodrow and Roeding Parks and surrounding agricultural lands in Fresno County, endangered species populations such as the tricolor blackbird are thought to be present. Protected species may traverse the City of Fresno to travel to suitable habitat surrounding the City. If protected species are observed within, or proximal, to the Project footprint, an ITP may serve to protect the City and/or Contractor from liability if these species are harmed during construction.
Should it become necessary, the AECOM Team will prepare an ITP application and communicate with CDFW to ensure agency compliance and species protection.
Task 3.3.2 Local Permits
The AECOM Team will work with the City to prepare a General Construction Permit following City guidelines.

Stormwater Pump Station
The stormwater pump station is anticipated to be located along Blackstone Avenue near the new BNSF Underpass. The pump station will transfer stormwater to the FMFCD Basin CC. Its estimated capacity is 20,000 gpm. It is expected then that there will be 3 - 480V pumps in the pump station that will be equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and tied into the City's SCADA network.
Preliminary design of the stormwater pump station will further evaluate the selected alternative and finalize any recommendations for final design. The preliminary electrical design package will include:
• One Line Diagram
• Electrical Site Plan
Aesthetic Preliminary Design
Based on the aesthetic alternative selected, the AECOM Team will address comments on concept plans and further develop the alternative to develop an overall site / grading plan for hardscape materials plaza areas, landscape areas, etc. associated with landscape improvements and where they interface with structures and roadways.
Prepare a landscape plan that identifies the location of trees, shrub massing, groundcover and planters will be prepared. This will be used to help establish irrigation requirements.
Enlarged plans at each main intersection, and perspective sketches at key locations highlighting the main design features.
Constructability Review
At the completion of the 30% Submittal, a constructability review will be performed by a qualified construction specialist with expertise in similar projects.

Should any of the required policies provide that the defense costs are paid within the Limits of Liability, thereby reducing the available limits by any defense costs, then the requirement for the Limits of Liability of these polices will be twice the above stated limits.
The fact that insurance is obtained by CONSUL TANT shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONSUL TANT, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSUL TANT. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of CONSUL TANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of CONSUL TANT, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
SUBCONTRACTORS - If CONSULTANT subcontracts any or all of the services to be performed under this Agreement, CONSUL TANT shall require, at the discretion of the CITY Risk Manager or designee, subcontractor(s) to enter into a separate Side Agreement with the City to provide required indemnification and insurance protection.
Any required Side Agreement(s) and associated insurance documents for the subcontractor must be reviewed and preapproved by CITY Risk Manager or designee.
If no Side Agreement is required, CONSULTANT will be solely responsible for ensuring that it's subcontractors maintain insurance coverage at levels no less than those required by applicable law and is customary in the relevant industry.
VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE
