Engineering Design Services for Nutwood Avenue Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility Improvements
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Fullerton is requesting proposals of qualifications from professional engineering consulting firms to design bicycle and pedestrian mobility enhancements along Nutwood Avenue from State College Boulevard to Placentia Avenue (Project). Fullerton received an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the environmental assessment; right-of- way certification; utility coordination; preliminary/final plans, specifications, estimates; permitting; construction, and funding administration.
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) provides information on the City of Fullerton , the required scope of services, the consultant selection process, and the minimum information that must be included in the RFQ Response. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the overall best value to the City based on quality, service , and any other criteria set out herein including but not limited to, the proposer’s ability to meet the requirements, qualifications, and competencies set out herein. The City shall be the sole judge of the qualifications and services and reserves the right to select a firm on any basis or weighted criteria that is in the best interests of the City.
BACKGROUND
The City of Fullerton is located 22 miles southeast of metropolitan Los Angeles, in the center of North Orange County with a population of 139,431 residents. Fullerton is a full-service, general law city that was incorporated in 1904. Fullerton is renowned for its unique mix of residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and cultural environment s and is known for being the “Education Community”. During the school year, the population grows by 60,000 people with California State University Fullerton (CSUF), Hope University, Fullerton College, and Ketchum School of Optometry.
Fullerton has 52 City parks, a museum, a cultural center, a public library, a golf course, and 29 miles of recreational trails. Fullerton provides an outstanding quality of life for both residents and businesses. At 22.4 square miles, Fullerton is also one of the largest citie s in Orange County by area and is the sixth most populous.
The City has been awarded $7,140,000 of State ATP Grant Funds by California Transportation Commission (CTC) to fully fund the development of the Nutwood Avenue Bicycle & Pedestrian Mobility Enhancement Project. The total Project budget, including local match share , is $7,290,000 which includes design engineering services, environmental studies, right -of-way, construction, and construction management services.
The project closes a priority gap to increase connectivity on the Brea -CSUF-Santa Ana River Trail by implementing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure along Nutwood Avenue including improvements for crossing under State Route 57 (SR -57). The Project will connect to several large residential developments with sizable student popula tions and shopping on the east side of SR -57 with the Docusign Envelope ID: E9F86C1A-39D7-4D61-A422-15FEC61F4C8E 2 campuses, and existing infrastructure to Downtown Fullerton, and employment centers on the west side of SR-57.
Nutwood Avenue is a primary access to two universities, California State University Fulle rton (CSUF) and Hope University, with a combined student enrollment, faculty, and staff of over 44,000. This project will create nearly a mile of new Class I bike paths, Class II buffered bike lanes, and Class IV protected bikeways on both sides of Nutwo od Avenue where there are currently only Class III bike routes. The new bike facilities will allow students, faculty, and staff to safely travel along this portion of Nutwood Avenue to connect to the CSUF campus bike path. Improvements will be constructed in City right of way, Caltrans right of way and on CSUF campus. Project will widen Nutwood Avenue under the SR-57 by cutting back existing slopes and constructing retaining walls; construct ADA ramp improvements; and add conflict zone markings at intersec tions and driveways. The project also includes a bike roundabout, median modifications, lighting, traffic signal modifications, landscape/hardscape improvements, and utility modifications.
CSUF is currently designing a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Nutwood Avenue at the easterly leg of the Commonwealth Avenue intersection. This bridge will provide a connection to CSUF facilities on the south side of Nutwood Avenue and an alternative path for students and public crossing Nutwood Avenue. The City and CSUF are coordinating the design of this bridge and it is expected to have minimal impacts to the improvements proposed by this project, however, Consultant shall ensure proposed improvements are compatible with the bridge improvements. Authorization for bidding and constructing the bridge is currently programmed for Summer 2025.

Up to three (3) meetings with utility owners are included. Additionally, Kimley-Horn will coordinate new and/or modified service points of connection (POC) and design requirements with Southern California Edison (SCE).
Task 2.2 Deliverables
Utility Agency Tracking List and Two (2) rounds of utility notification letters Task 2.3: Geotechnical Investigation
Review Background Information and Site Reconnaissance
We will review any available geotechnical investigation reports for the site vicinity and any other geotechnical reports asso ciated with the project, if they are accessible. Additionally, we will review published and unpublished geologic literature in our possession, including publications from reputable sources such as the California Geological Survey (CGS) and the United State s Geological Survey (USGS).
Before we perform the field exploration, to comply with legal requirements, we will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) of our proposed subsurface exploration locations at least 72 hours prior to commencing drilling activities. We will mark the propose d boring locations in the field. Scanning of existing utilities is excluded and utility locations will be based on available as -built data.
We will obtain an encroachment permit from the City of Fullerton for the portions of work within their right -of-way and obtain an encroachment permit from Caltrans for the portions of work within their ROW. We assume that the City of Fullerton will provid e a no-fee encroachment permit. Additionally, we will obtain a drilling permit from the County of Orange Environmental Health as required for drilling in this area.
Coordinate and Perform Deep Drilling
We will advance a total of twelve (12) borings along the length of the project. Of the twelve borings, four borings will be deeper borings (25 to 50 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs)). Two of the deeper borings will be advanced to a depth of Docusign Envelope ID: E9F86C1A-39D7-4D61-A422-15FEC61F4C8E Nutwood Avenue Bicycle & Pedestrian Mobility Improvements Project RFQ #2425-02
February 18, 2025
3 approximately 25 feet bgs and two will be advanced to a depth of 50 feet bgs. The purpose of these borings will be to evaluate subsurface conditions along the proposed retaining walls so that foundation recommendations, including bearing capacity and settlement, can be developed. The four deeper borings will be advanced using a truck -mounted, hollow-stem-auger drill rig.
Based on the proposed depths of these deeper borings and the possibility of encountering groundwater within the boring, a drilling permit will be needed for these two borings from the County of Orange Environmental Health.
The drilling and sampling activities will be performed in accordance with the relevant American Society of Testing and Materi als (ASTM) standards. We anticipate that personal protective equipment consisting of hard hats, steel -toe boots, eye protection, and hearing protection will be sufficient during the field exploration.
We have assumed that we will be able to access the locations of our proposed boring locations; we note that those locations a re flexible and can be moved to different areas within the project while still achieving an adequate spread over the project are a.
During the soil boring operations, a licensed engineer or geologist will be present to observe and record the encountered subsurface conditions. Drive samples will be collected at approximately 5 -foot intervals within the soil borings using either a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler or a California Modified sampler. Driven and bulk samples from the soil borings will be carefully collected, properly packaged, and transported to the laboratory for further observation and testing.
Upon completion of the drilling and sampling activities, the borings will be backfilled with a lean concrete or grout materia l in accordance with the drilling permit requirements. Soil cuttings will be collected in drums and disposed off site. Please note that the disposal of contaminated soil cuttings falls outside the scope of services. In the event that we encounter soil cuttings that appear to be contaminated based on visual observations and odor during our drilling operations, we will immediately cease drilling activities and promptly notify the City.
To complete the four deeper borings, we have budgeted two 10-hour days of drilling due to the logistics of moving between locations and establishing traffic control at each location. Traffic control will be established at each location; we anticip ate the need to close the far-right lane in each direction of Nutwood (one location and one lane closure at a time). We assume that the drilling can be performed during normal working hours. If drilling needs to be performed on a weekend or at night when traffic around the CSUF campus is reduced, an amendment will be required.
Perform Hand Augers
We will perform six shallow hand-auger borings to a depth of approximately five feet below existing grade for the purpose of evaluating surficial within and adjacent to Nutwood Avenue. Additionally, we will perform an additional two shallow hand-auger borings to a depth of approximately 5 feet for the purpose of percolation testing and developing recommendations for infiltra ting stormwater at the site. The total number of hand-augered borings proposed is eight (six for evaluating surficial conditions with respect to pavement design and two for percolation testing).
We have budgeted three working days to complete the hand auger borings at the proposed eight locations to ensure enough time is allocated to this work given the challenges of setting up traffic control. We will utilize a senior staff engineer an d a field technician (for excavation support and coring asphalt/concrete as needed) over the course of t his work to complete the eight locations within the budgeted time.
Perform Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests will be performed on selected samples obtained from the borings to aid in the classification and to evaluate the engineering properties of the subsurface soils. The laboratory tests will encompass the following:
• In-Situ Moisture and Density tests
• Atterberg Limits test
• Grain size analysis, #200 Wash
• Expansion index test
• Direct shear
• Corrosivity test (pH, Sulfate, Chloride & resistivity) • R-Value test
• Maximum Dry Density-Optimum Moisture Content tests
The specific quantities and types of tests will depend on the encountered material types during the subsurface exploration. F or budgetary purposes, we have estimated a laboratory testing budget based on our experience with similar projects.

4 Conduct Engineering Analyses
The results of our field exploration and geotechnical laboratory tests will be evaluated and engineering analyses will be performed to provide geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the Project. The following engineering analyses will be performed for the Project:
• Evaluation of general subsurface conditions and description of types, distribution, and engineering characteristics of subsurface materials at the site,
• Evaluation of current and historical groundwater conditions at the site and potential impact on design and construction, • Evaluation of the feasibility of using on-site soils for support of flatwork and pavements, • Evaluation of foundation recommendations and lateral earth pressures for the new retaining walls trending below the SR 57 Freeway and tiebacks as needed,
• Evaluation of expansion potential and, if needed, recommendations to mitigate the potential impact of expansive soil conditions on the Project,
• Evaluation of the corrosion potential of near surface on-site soils, and • Evaluation of feasibility of infiltrating stormwater at the site and recommendations for design infiltration rates.
Prepare Geotechnical Report
Upon completion of the engineering analyses, we will compile the findings, results, and recommendations into comprehensive geotechnical investigation reports. We anticipate that two reports will be required: Caltrans Foundation Report for the retaining walls, and a report for submittal to the City of Fullerton for scope of services outside of the Caltrans right-of-way. The reports will be submitted to the City in electronic format. In general, the reports will include the following:
• Site Location Map.
• Boring location map and logs of borings that include summarized laboratory testing results. • Evaluation of general subsurface conditions and description of types, distribution, and engineering characteristics of subsurface materials at the site.
• Evaluation of current and historical groundwater conditions at the site and potential impact on design and construction. • Evaluation of the feasibility of using on-site soils for support of proposed improvements. • Evaluation of expansion potential and, if needed, recommendations to mitigate the potential impact of expansive soil conditions on the Project.
• Evaluation of the corrosion potential of near surface on-site soils. • Development of general recommendations for earthwork, including site preparation and excavation, requirements for placement of compacted fill, and site drainage.
• Recommendations for utility trenches.
• Recommendations for retaining wall design and construction. • Recommendations for temporary shoring.
• Recommendations for flatwork/sidewalks design and construction. • Recommendations for infiltration of stormwater at the site.
An electronic copy of the final report will be signed by a Registered Geotechnical Engineer (GE).

Based on City needs, goals, and central system compatibility, the controllers will be a 2070LX (ATC Standard and Caltrans Specification) ATC controller. The Kimley - Horn team is the most well-versed and equipped firm to produce timing sheets with advanced features (for either program as well as assist with controller deployment. The team proposes to prepare timing sheets for the Caltrans controller in electronic Microsoft Excel format. The timing sheets will contain all coordination parameters specific to Caltrans firmware (coordination pattern splits as green factors and coordination offsets in seconds). The files shall also use parameters such as phase seque nce as lag phase flags and in A, B, C, D format and offset reference points as beginning of yellow.
Fine Tuning Support
After the implementation of optimized timing, the Kimley-Horn team will provide support to review the corridor’s operation during each peak period and make adjustments as needed. In our experience, it can take up to 1 hour of in -field review per intersection to achieve optimized operations. Our scope of work will include a maximum of three (3) separate “post -timing implementation” field studies for each timing plan to assist in the refining of offsets, phase sequences, and split parameters in close consu ltation with other teams and the City. Any adjustment of the final timings at all intersections will be revised and resubmitted electronically (excel and PDF) for agency and stakeholder team acceptance. Upon final approval, Kimley -Horn we will provide three (3) hard copies of each intersections timing sheets for use in filing with the City, TMC, and cabinet, with all copies signed and stamped by a licensed California Traffic Engineer.
Task O-5 Deliverables
Optimized Synchro files and Seven (7) controller timing chart conversions – three (3) hard copies and electronic files (excel, PDF, and Databases file)

14 Task O-6: Caltrans Materials Report
Upon authorization by the City, provide recommendations for pavement structural sections for a range of Traffic Indices provided by the Civil Engineer in Caltrans right-of-way. This entails preparation of Caltrans standard Materials Report and obtaining Caltrans approvals (up to two rounds of revisions).
Task O-4 Deliverables
Caltrans Materials Report
Assumptions and Exclusions
The following assumptions were made when preparing the scope of work based on what we anticipate being required for the Project. If any of these change, we would need to re-evaluate our scope of work. Any work not specifically provided in the scope of work is excluded. Excluded work is not meant to be limited by the following :
• It is our understanding that environmental documentation for CEQA compliance has been completed by the City.
Environmental services are excluded from this scope of work. • It is assumed that the City will provide arboricultural recommendations unless Task O-1 is approved. • Title reports to map easements on private property are assumed to be provided by the City. • It is assumed that Caltrans approvals will be processed through the DEER process. • It is assumed that Caltrans will issue a double permit for approvals. One permit will be issued to approve design and construction. The second permit will be issued to the Contractor with additional conditions of approval for items provided by the Contractor such as a SWPPP if required. • It is assumed that the City will provide timely right-of-entry for access to private properties. • A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is excluded. Based on preliminary analysis of the Conceptual Alignment shown in the RFQ, there is less than one acre of disturbed area proposed, which would not require a SWPPP. If a SWPPP is required, we assume this will be provided by the Contractor. • A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and lane closure report is excluded. • Design for modifications to existing dry utilities such as electrical, gas, communication, cable, etc. is assumed to be provided by others. Plans for modifications to existing utilities such as water and sewer are not anticipated and is not included.
• Utility companies’ fees, and City and other Agencies’ permit fees, are excluded. • Necessary permits for tasks stated herein, such as the geotechnical and field survey work, are assumed to be no -fee permits from the City.
• If Task O-2 is not approved by the City, it is assumed the City will provide potholing data adequate for design, if needed.
• If Task O-4 is not approved by the City, it is assumed the City will provide right-of-way coordination and acquisitions. • We have assumed responding to one round of consolidated non-conflicting comments for each submittal. • It is assumed that the Phase I ESA will not identify risks of contamination. A Phase II ESA is not included. • An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE), Intersection Safety and Operational Assessment Process (ISOAP), and additional traffic elements are not included.
• Coordination with existing businesses and private property owners not mentioned in the scope of services is assumed to be conducted by the City. It is assumed the City will provide Title Reports for the impacted properties. It is also assumed that ROW needs will not vary after the 60% submittal. Plats maps and legal descriptions are excluded and will be provided by the City.
• Environmental Mitigation Monitoring is not included in this scope of services. • Mass copying for bid sets or other items is not anticipated. • A hydrology and hydraulics analysis and report are excluded because the project will maintain existing drainage features with minor relocations or adjustments that will not impact hydraulic capacity. • It is assumed that the City will provide standard asphalt concrete pavement sections for all proposed full-depth pavement. Pavement recommendations are excluded.
