WARREN ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Request for Proposal (RFP) for
Storm Channel improvements, and verification calculations for the existing San Diego Aqueduct wingwalls. All structure plan details will be reviewed by the check engineer for completeness and accuracy. A thorough review of the details will be performed for clarity, capacity, standards, and constructability issues. When the independent check is complete, the checker and designer will compare their results and resolve any differences. The calculations will be corrected so that they agree substantially with each other. Agreement is then reached regarding corrections to the plans. After plan corrections, both the designer and checker will review the corrected details to ensure all concerns have been addressed.

Subtask 4.6 100% Plans, Specifications, and Estimate: Dokken will review and respond to any City comments from the 90% PS&E submittal. Once all comments are addressed, we will continue with the preparation of the 100% signed and stamped PS&E package. This package will be the final construction document to build the project, including final plans, specifications, and cost estimates and will be revised sufficiently to present to City Council to receive authority to bid.

4.6.1 Phase 1, Stetson to Esplanade, 100% PS&E: We will prepare the 100% PS&E as described above.

4.6.2 Phase 2, Salt Creek Bridge to Stetson, 100% PS&E: We will prepare the 100% PS&E as described above.

4.6.3 Phase 3, Salt Creek Bridge Widening, 100% PS&E: We will prepare the 100% PS&E as described above.

Subtask 4.7 Traffic Signal Timing Plans: The Dokken Team will visit the Project area to document posted speeds and obtain existing timing plans from the signal cabinet. Utilize the traffic counts collected as part of the Level of Service (LOS) Analysis at the four potential signalized intersections (Warren/Simpson, Warren/Stetson, Warren/Devonshire, and Warren/Esplanade) with FHWA vehicle classifications. We will conduct pedestrian and bicycle counts. The pedestrian and bicycle counts will be conducted between the hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the four potential signalized intersections (Warren/Simpson, Warren/Stetson, Warren/Devonshire, and Warren/Esplanade). Pedestrian counts include the number of traffic signal crosswalk activations and the number of pedestrian crossings. We will conduct Synchro analysis for preparation of local timing sheet applying the City parameters with the data collected from Task 1.2. Submit a copy of the local timing plan for the intersections of Warren/Simpson, Warren/Stetson, Warren/Devonshire, and Warren/Esplanade to the City for review.

Revise the local timing plan to address City comments and resubmit for review and approval. Provide signal timing turn-on and troubleshooting field support.

TASK 4 DELIVERABLES: Updated Basis of Design Memo; Updated Project Overview Exhibits; 30% Plans and Estimate Package; 60% Plans and Estimate Package; 90% PS&E Package; 100% PS&E Package; Response to Comments; QA/QC Docs; Final Signed Drawing Set; Final Cost Estimate; Final Specifications; Traffic Signal Timing Plans TASK 5 – BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
Subtask 5.1 Bidding Support Services: Dokken will attend the Pre-Bid Meeting and will be available during the bidding phase of the project to assist the City with providing responses to bidder inquiries and an analysis of the bids as needed. Revisions to plans as needed to adequately address bidder inquiries are included in this task along with a final compilation of post-bid and pre-construction conformed plans for records.
• Pre-Bid Meetings (3): At the completion of each phase of the project, Dokken will work with the City to schedule and organize pre-bid meetings with all key personnel, prospective bidders, and stakeholder representatives on the project.

The purpose of this meeting will be to review the bid package and any bidder inquiries and ensures that bidders have all received the proper bid documents and have all their questions answered.

Subtask 5.2 Construction Support Services: Dokken will be available during the construction phase of the project to assist the City with providing responses to the Resident Engineer and Contractor requests for information (RFIs), Contractor submittal reviews, site visits, and preparation of contract change orders (CCOs) and plan revisions as needed.

Subtask 5.3 As-Built Drawings: Dokken will acquire the red lined plans from the contractor and the subcontractors and will prepare the As-built drawings upon completion of the project. Our team will coordinate with the Construction Management Team to review updated plan sheets. Final record drawings will be submitted in electronic (CAD/PDF) and hard copies.

5th St/Greenspot Rd Bikeway Improvements | Project Term: 2013-19 | Contract Value:
$143,860
ERSC was retained by the City of Highland to engineering and construction services for the City’s widening of 5th Street/Greenspot road and bikeway improvements. As the City completed the new Greenspot Bridge over the Santa Ana River, it was necessary to widen the road and the old iron bridge would be access restricted to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Upon completion 5th Street/Greenspot Road would be widened to accommodate 2 travel lanes in each direction with a painted center median and bike lanes. Total length of the widening was approximately 6,000LF. At Santa Ana Canyon Road, the Bikeway would be taken out of the Greenspot Road alignment and onto a new trail system. This trail would include a fully signed and striped bike/pedestrian trail that followed the previous alignment of Greenspot Road. This trail includes the historic Iron Bridge at Santa Ana Canyon Road. As a part of the project, ERSC designed the trail, signing/striping, and 30 way finding signs/access points along the alignment.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
PURPOSE:

ERSC has reviewed the City of Hemet’s
request for proposal “Professional
Engineering Services for Warren Road
Improvement,” visited the site to review
and document any possible challenges
that may be faced in the design process,
reviewed available reference material, and
obtained drone footage by flying the entire
length of the project to review up to date
conditions. Our team has prior knowledge
of future proposed developments at
various locations along the project limits
gleaned from supplying Entitlement
reviews for the City and producing several
reports and PS&E for CIP projects over the
past 20+ years. Our review demonstrates
the level of commitment ERSC’s team
has to the City of Hemet and highlights
our understanding of the project and our
approach to solving any unique challenges
a project of this nature may have.

ERSC staff visited the site by driving the
limits, walking certain portions, taking
pictures to document items for discussion,
observing vehicular travel characteristics,
noting grade challenges, and identifying
existing improvements to be joined or
removed. We reviewed City-supplied
underlying improvement plans in addition
to those in ERSC possession from prior
projects, maps to identify right-of-way
constraints such as power poles and storm
drain appurtenances, and the effects that
widening of the roadway will have upon
them. Photos were shared with ERSCs’
subconsultants, and discussions were held
to ensure all work proposals understand
the entire project and not just a single
component.

ERSC understands the scope of the project
is to prepare plans, specifications, and
cost estimates for the construction of
improvements to be made to Warren Road
from Esplanade Avenue to Domenigoni
Parkway, which will involve widening of
the current roadway to its ultimate width,
which is classified as Secondary 4U with an
88-foot right-of-way and 64-foot curb to
curb dimension.

The following Street Classification Typical
Section is taken from Figure 4.2 of the City’s
General Plan. The 94’ ultimate right of way
will be reduced to 88’ for this project.

Project Limits
24

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
The project PS&E will be broken into three
phases, these being:
• Phase 1 – Esplanade Avenue to
Stetson Avenue
• Phase 2 – Stetson Avenue to Salt
Creek Bridge
• Phase 3 - Salt Creek Bridge Widening
With the proposed improvements identified, it is understood that there is a necessity for the City to acquire property. Half-street rightof-way of 44 feet will be required on both sides of Warren Road, with the possibility of additional right-of-way being required where traffic signals will be proposed to accommodate turn-lanes.

The road improvements will consist of installation of curb and gutter, AC pavement, sidewalk, landscaping, striping, and traffic signals where warranted. Existing storm drain facilities crossing or adjacent to the project site will be modified to accommodate the street widening. Additionally, improvements will be proposed to the existing Salt Creek Bridge, which will be widened to accommodate the additional two lanes of traffic plus sidewalk.

The process and procedure of preparing the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for the aforementioned Project will follow in the Scope of Work.

SCOPE OF WORK:

TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT
ERSC has assembled a highly skilled team to perform the tasks outlined in the City’s RFP. All subconsultants have performed work of this nature numerous times and have the necessary expertise to complete the tasks identified expeditiously. The ERSC Project Manager has assembled a Team that has worked with the selected subconsultants on a variety of projects and selected them for their knowledge, ease of collaboration, adaptability to varying situations, and moral purpose to complete a job within budget and on time. The key to this project will be regular two-way communications within the Team from Notice to Proceed to final plan submittal.

While the Project Manager will oversee the Team, each team member is equally committed to moving their part of the project forward by keeping tasks on schedule, foreseeing possible hold-ups and coming up with solutions, and being available to answer questions or bring team members together to find the right solution and providing the answer for the overall successful outcome of the Project.

ERSC’s Project Manager will work with the City to schedule a project kickoff meeting that includes each subconsultant’s Project Manager. This will allow our team to understand any special requirements the City may request as a part of this project. ERSC believes that early coordination leads to successful projects, and we intend to be ahead of any issues to ensure a smooth project. At the kickoff meeting, identifying points of contact with each agency/company will be extremely important to avoid delays later on when trying to reach a party for any issue that may arise. ERSC will want to know individuals’ names and contact information within the various departments at the City from which needed information may be obtained.

In addition, ERSC believes continued coordination is essential and has included regular monthly and milestone meetings to discuss project progress or relevant issues related to the project. These meetings may be held in the field, office, or via teleconference, as directed by the City.

Once regular monthly meeting dates are determined, ERSC will prepare the meeting agenda, chair the meeting, take minutes, identify future action items, review and update the project schedule, and circulate meeting minutes for review and concurrence by the Team.

Subconsultant Project Managers or key staff will attend these meetings.

Staffing personnel and hours are based on current availability and projections of future workloads. The Project Schedule will be provided after the kickoff meeting, taking into consideration all coordination issues presented by the City. If Task deadlines affect ERSC staffing workloads, ERSC commits to adjusting staff workloads to keep this project on track. Should personnel changes be necessary to accommodate the schedule, ERSC will notify the City and obtain permission before making such changes.

Street Classification Typical Section
QA/QC
ERSC’s size makes the firm flexible and adaptable to our clients’ preferred project, budget, and schedule management methods. Summarized below is ERSC’s typical approach to managing the many facets of a successful project, which will be in effect for the project’s duration.

Involvement
Part of any successful project at ERSC is a Project Manager tasked with constant involvement, project familiarity, open communication with clients and team members, and participation in major design decisions. All project disciplines are kept informed of any changes in design, schedule, or other tasks to ensure conflicts do not arise by regularly occurring meetings and thorough correspondence measures. These basic principles ensure delivery of a complete project that is mindful of overall goals, impacts to the community, and constructability of the final design. 25

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Budget
The budget for any project is a function of the work plan and tasks within that plan. ERSC approaches a budget the same way we approach a work plan and Fee Schedule. Projects are loaded into our accounting and time tracking program, Deltek Ajera, and broken down by task. Each task is preloaded identically to the work plan and Fee Schedule with the time allotted per billing rate and the total project budget. Employees working within the project can account for their hours billed to a project and remaining hours available for a task. Accountability and ease of access to this information help mitigate overruns. ERSC finds that an extra set of eyes watching each facet of a project helps eliminate potential budget problems.

Schedule
Schedule maintenance can be as simple as ensuring adequate resources are dedicated to the project. At ERSC, project teams are developed on a project-by-project basis from a pool of engineers and technicians. Regular staff meetings are held to discuss project needs and deadlines for a given period. Staff is maintained or enhanced for projects on an as-needed basis to ensure that project schedules are upheld. Staff assigned to a particular project will always have the necessary experience. Our goal is to maintain continuity within a given project team at all times. ERSC schedules are tied directly to our budget which lends all employees the incentive to remain at or ahead of any project schedule. QA/QC reviews occur throughout the project duration but officially at major milestone submittals.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
An additional and important facet is the quality of the work submitted. Quality design and calculations, which are checked, corrected, and back-checked, will result in accurate bidding, minimized change orders, and ensured on-schedule completion. QA/QC staff will sign and date all draft and final documents submitted to the City for review. The adjacent flow chart summarizes the ERSC QA/QC process.

This task will include the management of the project, including but not limited to invoicing, filing, schedule updates, and various administrative tasks.

Deliverables:
• Meeting Agenda and Minutes
• Monthly Invoices with Progress Reports
• Schedule Updates
TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION
Task 2.1 - As-Built Research, Investigation & Field Review ERSC will research all record data available within and around the project boundary, including as-built documents, survey data, utility contact information, and any other available record data. Our team will coordinate with the City to obtain any record drawings for the project area not already shared as part of the RFP Q & A process, including but not limited to Street Improvements, Drainage Improvements, Signing and Striping, and any construction drawings associated with Master Planned Developments adjacent to the project site. Our team will utilize this data in the design of the project and incorporate it into the project drawings for record purposes.

Team members will conduct a detailed field review once the information is incorporated into the plans to verify existing utilities and infrastructure. Field notes and photos will be taken to document any discrepancies on the plans with field conditions.

Deliverables:
• Correspondence regarding any potential conflicts between as-builts and existing conditions.

Task 2.2 - Utility Coordination, Research & Notification ERSC has obtained several underlying utility maps for the Project limits but will still perform full utility research by obtaining all utility information within the project limits. All utility notices will include a vicinity map and be prepared on City letterhead and delivered to staff for the City Engineer’s signature and mailing.

Correspondence will be documented and filed in the project files. Record maps will be used to show horizontal and vertical locations of all utilities on the plans for below-grade utilities. Survey topography shots will identify the above-ground utility. Existing Warren Road Bridge plans identify GTE conduits and casing for SoCalGas main in the cells of the bridge in addition to electrical conduit and cable TV ducts on the bridge surface. These will be confirmed with the appropriate purveyor.

ERSC will provide further field investigations to locate, identify, verify locations, and determine the status of existing utilities. In addition, our team will obtain and review all applicable base map plans, atlas maps, substructure maps, specifications, reports, and record data for all existing utilities, agencies, and companies involved in the project area.

All utility research shall be incorporated into the plan and applicable details as part of a comprehensive construction plan.

The overhead SCE lines will be of particular consideration. Transmission and distribution lines exist for most project limits, paralleling or traversing Warren Road. It is assumed Transmission Line
26

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
that the Transmission lines will remain in their current location as relocating them will most likely be cost-prohibitive and very time-consuming. The distribution line locations will be reviewed versus widened road location, and unless the poles fall within the street limit, it will be recommended they remain in their current location, and sidewalk will be routed around the poles.

Proposed finish grades will attempt to be as close to existing as possible to eliminate the need for pole reinforcement or compromising clearance limits under the utility lines.

Poles that fall within street pavement limits will be documented and reviewed with the City for alternatives (i.e., remain, relocate, place underground, etc.).

Also requiring special consideration is the High-Pressure Gas line located in Domenigoni Pkwy at the northeast corner of Warren Rd.

Deliverables:
• Copies of all correspondence/notices with affected utility agencies • Copies of maps and record data provided by the affected utility agencies. • Copies of correspondence regarding utility relocations (if any).

High Pressure Gas Warning
Task 2.3 - Survey & Mapping
ERSC will provide the aerial targets required for Inland Aerial Surveys, Inc. (IAS), which will fly the project and produce the survey at a 1” = 40’ scale with a 1’ contour interval. IAS will furnish one set of color digital files of the aerial images and a digital data file in AutoCAD .dwg format. ERSC will research available record information pertaining to the project area, including Tract Maps, Records of Survey, Parcel Maps, and Right-of-Way maps to prepare the base maps on which the street design will be based. The project site will be flown to provide an approximate 500-foot-wide strip centered on Warren Road.

ERSC will provide ground survey/topography at 50’ stations, or closer, within the right-of-way for the project limits. All surface features, including centerline, grade breaks, edge of pavement, catch basins, manholes, striping, AC berm, curb and gutter TC/FL elevations, etc., within the survey area will be located and labeled. ERSC’s team will work together prior to performing survey to create criteria to identify items that are not typically included in a survey, such as broken curb/gutter, raised sidewalk due to tree root intrusion, missing sidewalk panels, and overhead utilities. In addition, ERSC will require additional survey shots at intersecting streets, all existing sidewalk ramps to check for conformance with ADA requirements, and anticipated pavement join locations to create necessary profiles and ensure smooth join locations. If any private improvements are located within the public right-of-way, these items will be identified for the City to determine their disposition.

All survey will be downloaded and generate one-foot contours, centerlines, right-of-way, and fronting property lines from record information.

Deliverables:
• Topography in .dwg format. (1” =40’)
• Digital Terrain Model (DTM) surface
Task 2.4 - Geotechnical Analysis and Report
ERSC is partnering with Aragon Geotechnical, Inc. (AGI) to provide geotechnical engineering services for this project. Aragon has worked on numerous successful projects with ERSC and has a recent history of geotechnical work near the City of Hemet.

AGI’s investigation for Phases 1 and 2 north of Salt Creek will focus on (1) Characterizing native-soil support conditions for new pavement structural sections and bordering concrete curbs and sidewalks; (2) Evaluations of bearing-zone soils for RCP drainage pipes, catch basins, and culverts; (3) Evaluations of ground conditions for CIDH shafts at signalized intersections; (4) Identifying any significant soil chemistry influences on construction materials; (5) Creating sample earthwork specifications for mass grading; (6) Design of preliminary pavement structural sections; and (7) Supplying recommended soil parameters needed for “D-load” pipe design methods for RCP storm drains. AGI would prefer to work with an early-stage (30%) concept plan so that investigation sites can be partially tailored to proposed cuts, fills, and structures. A 1:1,200 or larger scale alignment topographic map would be desired. Neither will be absolute necessities, however. Phases 1 and 2 will be included in one preliminary geotechnical investigation report.

The Salt Creek bridge investigation (Phase 3) is proposed as a concurrent field study but will entail a separate geotechnical design report as our deliverable. Codes and standards we must address are different. Adding to the topics enumerated above, shallow and deep foundation options will be assessed for feasibility and design loads. Geological hazard potentials will be analyzed. We can accommodate design standards of either or both Caltrans and AASHTO when calculating static or dynamic resistance of the local soils on embedded structural foundations.

Twenty-four hours of drilling rig time is budgeted for ordinary Phase 1-2 roadway. AGI proposes borings every 1,200-1,500 linear feet of roadway on average, with an estimated count of 24 to 28 explorations total. Soil boring locations will be guided by possible structure sites and mapped zones of extremely weak soils with low R-values that impose requirements for enhanced pavement section depths. Drilling will also examine a 200-foot-long segment of future roadway located ~1,400 feet north of Devonshire Avenue, where granite outcroppings hint at hard-rock conditions. Targeted termination depths will normally range from 7 to 20 feet or 10 feet below structures when applicable. AGI expects to place all Phase 1-2 soil borings beside the existing pavement in road shoulder areas. Coring of existing pavement is excluded. After DigAlert notifications, a truck-mounted hollow-stem auger rig will advance the holes. If precise survey coordinates are required for the as-drilled hole locations, they shall be supplied by ERSC. 27

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
The Phase 3 bridge area will conclude the field portion of AGI studies. The same drilling rig will be used if ground is hard. A specialty track rig will be selected if ground is soft. Access may be a problem. We believe one soil boring per abutment and bridge bent will be adequate at Salt Creek. Targeted termination material will be decomposed granite. Based on reviewed test boring data, predicted exploration depths range from 65 to 80 feet. Bridge drilling could require three days.

A qualified engineer or geologist will supervise drilling and soil sampling. Samples composed of both “undisturbed” ring-lined barrel recoveries and disturbed Standard Penetration Test drive recoveries will be classified. An encroachment permit will be obtained from the City for regular road ROW. AGI understands that RCFCWCD controls the Salt Creek channel. The agency will demand a separate permit. Work in the channel is very likely to require environmental clearance by the District. This is often but not always given “overthe-counter” without a detailed field review. If required, costs for District biological clearances (Flood Control staff time) are not included in AGI’s geotechnical budget and are assumed to be handled through the City’s Environmental Consultant. Drilling excludes any work within the State Hwy 74 (Florida Avenue) ROW, although we can get “close” if necessary. AGI expects to avoid traffic lane closures. AGI technical staff will manage warnings of our work zones while the drilling crew is onsite with suitable signage and cones that meet City requirements.

Laboratory soil testing will comprise determinations of in-place density and water content, shear strength, compaction criteria, particle gradation, expansion index, Atterberg limits, and corrosion potential. Based on regional soils maps we have budgeted 8 R-value determinations for preliminary pavement design.

One seismic refraction line spread performed north of Devonshire Avenue will supplement our soil borings. AGI’s engineering geologist will compile a detailed field geologic map for later analyses of rock discontinuities and excavatability. The geologist will perform risk assessments for geological hazards at the Salt Creek crossing, including but not limited to strong motion, liquefaction, and permanent ground deformation phenomena such as lateral spread at channel sidewalls.

AGI will prepare two preliminary written reports (Phase 1-2 and bridge Phase 3) documenting the preliminary soils investigation findings, recommended grading specifications, and bridge design criteria. Subsections will be included discussing local geologic conditions, seismic design coefficients, and/or spectral response. Recommendations for temporary excavation backcut slopes, concrete mixes, and dewatering requirements will be covered. Caltrans-type HMA design methods would be utilized for ordinary asphalt-base-subgrade sections. Close coordination with the bridge structural designer is expected to ensure our foundation design responses will be adequate for the prospective foundation system.

Deliverables:
• Geotechnical Exploration Reports (Phase 1-2 and Bridge Phase 3), including appendices with graphical boring logs, summaries of laboratory tests, and map of core locations – Electronic .pdf and 4 Bound Copies TASK 3 – ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING AND COORDINATION
Technical Studies/Coordination
The RFP and Q&A indicated that the City has an environmental consultant. The ERSC Team will prepare the necessary technical reports as identified below and coordinate with the environmental consultant so a complete CEQA document is prepared in order to obtain clearances for construction. Based on current project understanding, the technical approach for each report will be defined in the discipline of where the study is prepared in the following scope of services. The reports identified will comply with standard City environmental procedures.
• Project Description
• Geotechnical Analysis
• Hydrology & Hydraulics Analysis
• VMT Traffic Analysis (Screening Evaluation and/or Full Traffic Analysis) • SWPPP
If the City determines additional studies beyond what is referenced below are required for the environmental approval, a modified scope of work and cost proposal will be submitted.

TASK 4 – RIGHT-OF-WAY ENGINEERING
Task 4.1 – Right-of-Way Requirement Map
With the widening of Warren Road to ultimate roadway classification of Secondary 4U, there will be the need to acquire additional right-of-way adjacent to Warren Road where right-of-way is less than the required 44-foot half-street right-of-way. Based upon our review of Assessor Parcel Maps, Warren Road has minimally 44-foot half-street right-of-way from Esplanade Avenue to south of Florida Avenue. Southerly of Florida Ave, the half-street right-of-way varies on both sides of the street. ERSC has identified twenty-two (22) parcels that will require acquisition of some measure of right-of-way for the street widening along Warren Road and five other parcels that may require a portion of their property for necessary clearances at the intersections where traffic signals are proposed to be installed. Also of note, the current right-of-way for Warren Road crossing Salt Creek Channel is 100 feet. Depending upon the bridge widening structure selected, there may be a need to obtain more right-of-way from RCFC. ERSC will meet with the City and confirm road layout and the effects on these properties. Upon gaining approval from the City, ERSC will prepare the necessary Right-of-Way Requirement map identifying the road alignment or traffic signal appurtenance’s location and the area required for acquisition or easement. These maps will be signed and sealed by a California-licensed land surveyor. 28

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Right-of-Way Parcel Acquisition
Task 4.2 – Legal Description
and Plat
ERSC will also prepare the individual
plat maps and legal descriptions for the
proposed parcel acquisitions needed to
construct the project and per the approved
right-of-way requirements. These maps
and legal descriptions will be prepared
by or under the direction and signed by a
California-licensed land surveyor.

Task 4.3 – Title Reports
Q&A for this RFP indicated to include
providing title reports for the properties
needing right-of-way. ERSC will contact a
Title Company and acquire Preliminary
Title Reports for the agreed-upon
properties.

Task 4.4 – Temporary
Construction Easements
(Optional)
It is assumed that each property adjacent
to the side of the Warren Road where
construction is to occur will require a
Temporary Construction Easement (TCE)
prior to the beginning of construction.

Utilizing the Title Reports obtained
for the acquisition task and obtaining
an additional eight Title Reports as
necessary, ERSC will prepare a legal and
plat identifying the area required outside
of ultimate street right-of-way that is
required for the contractor to perform his
work. TCEs may be recorded with the TCE
expiring upon the Notice of Completion for
the Project. There is the possibility the City
may pursue a “Right to Enter” for those
properties, thus removing the need for a
TCE and saving the City significant costs.

If requested, ERSC will prepare a form
letter identifying the property address/
APN and the extent of the area to which
the Contractor will be granted access. The
letters could contain a blanket request,
i.e., “‘the front 10’ of property adjacent
to City right-of-way,” but not have a legal
and plat prepared. These letters would be
signed by the City and property owner and
would not be recorded.

It is understood that neither acquisition
nor appraisal services are part of this
Project’s scope of services.

Deliverables: • Right-of-Way Requirement Map • Copies of all Title Reports – 27 for acquisition, additional 11 for TCEs
• Legal and Plat for Portion of Parcel
requiring Acquisition – 27 parcels
• Legal and Plat for TCE (Optional) - 38
parcels

TASK 5 – PERMITTING
Riverside County Flood Control
and Water Conservation
District
It is understood that permitting through
Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District (District) will be
required. With the widening of Warren
Road Bridge over Salt Creek, modifications
will be proposed to Salt Creek Channel
with the addition of new piers, bridge
footings and abutments. In addition, the
existing storm drain connections into the
channel near Warren Road will require
modifications. ERSC has worked numerous
times with the District, understands their
Encroachment Permitting process, and
is currently performing similar design
services for the Overland Drive Bridge over
Murrieta Creek in the City of Temecula.

Early coordination with District staff on
the project scope and preparing items per
their Encroachment Permit requirements
will result in the most expeditious process.

It is anticipated that the District will
also require an Encroachment Permit to
perform Geotechnical Exploration within
Salt Creek Channel. ERSC’s Team will
process applications, but it is assumed
permit fees will be paid or directly
reimbursed by the City.

Metropolitan Water District
The San Diego Canal (California Aqueduct),
which parallels Warren Road south of
Warren Road’s intersection with Esplanade
Avenue to Devonshire Avenue, is owned
by Metropolitan Water District (MWD).

ERSC will need to obtain an Entry Permit
for survey work within MWD right-of-way/
easement. ERSC will also need to prepare
the necessary exhibits to be included in
the application for the requisite permit.

In addition, if any improvements are
proposed to be constructed within MWD
right-of-way, submittal must be made to
MWD for their Project Review Committee
(PRC) to review and determine if there are
impacts to MWD facilities.

TASK 6 – CONSTRUCTION

Task 6.1 - Street Improvement
Plans:

Using data collected in the previous tasks,
ERSC’s team will create base sheets for all
disciplines of improvement plans. All toscale plans are anticipated to be prepared at a 1” = 40’ scale unless larger scale is
necessary to provide clarity. Warren Road
30

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Street Improvement Plans will be prepared with plan and profile for its entire length. It is anticipated that existing centerline profile will be shown on all plan and profile sheets. Portions of Warren Rd that require widening on both sides will have the profile of existing edge of pavement plotted for each side. Where widening is only required on one side, that side’s existing edge of pavement profile will be shown. Existing TC will be shown for the other side of the street to be used as information/reference. Where widening is to occur, proposed top of curb profiles will be generated, in addition to FG at Right-of-Way. This will assist in determining the need for retaining walls or “grade to drain” joins at right-of-way with existing grades.

Typical sections will be generated for various segments of roadway along Warren Road. They will identify the portion of the roadway pavement to remain, sawcut and join location, and new pavement section limits with type and thickness, all following the Geotechnical Report recommendations. Sheets containing cross-sections at 50-foot intervals shall be generated for use in design and City review but will only be incorporated into the project plans if requested.

All curb returns where ADA ramps are to be constructed or modified due to new Traffic Signal installation will be shown and detailed at a 1” = 10’ scale. Clearance and ramp dimensions, slopes, and spot elevations to confirm slopes will be provided. Details will follow City Standard No. C-215, C-216, C216A and C216B. If conditions do not allow for these ramp standards, Greenbook standards will be followed, with City concurrence.

Hemet-Ryan Airport (HMT) is a General Aviation public airport owned and operated by the County of Riverside. It has fixed-base operators that provide ground support services, on-field fuel services, maintenance and aircraft storage, ground transportation, maintenance services, and hangars for most general aviation aircraft, ranging from single-engine to corporate jets. The airport has two runways, one for aviation and a secondary runway for sailplanes only.

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Per the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), Runway 5’s existing Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) extends 1,000 feet from the end of the runway with a 20:1 Approach Slope. This places the northwesterly end of the RPZ over Warren Road. ERSC will confirm that no improvement is constructed that projects into this approach slope, which at the point over Warren Road will be 50 feet in height from the elevation of the end of the runway. The ALP identifies the future lengthening of Runway 5 and the future location of its RPZ. This will not be addressed in the current scope of work. Should the City/County desire to have this analyzed, an additional scope and fee will be prepared.
14 CFR Part 77 requires proponents of construction or alteration on or near an airport to give the FAA timely notification, which will serve as the FAA’s basis for evaluating the effects of the proposed construction or alteration on safety, air navigation, and airport traffic capacity at public-use airports. ERSC will contact the FAA and prepare the necessary documentation for submittal to the FAA for their review with the intent of obtaining a “Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation.” Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, Detail Sheets, and Street Improvement Design Plan and Profile Sheets (assuming 22 sheets), Cross-Sections (30%, 60%, 90%, 100%)
• FAA Notification
ERSC is partnering with STC Traffic, Inc. (STC) to prepare the required traffic-related documents.

Task 6.2 - Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis Study (Draft and Final) STC will prepare Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis for the following non-signalized intersections: Warren Road & Simpson Road, Warren Road & Stetson Avenue, Warren Road & Devonshire Avenue, and Warren Road & Esplanade Avenue.

This analysis will document the existing vehicle traffic and pedestrian and bicycle volumes. The 24-hour approach counts and peakhour turning movement counts will be collected at these four intersections and used in the warrant study. CA MUTCD Section 4C will be used for traffic signal warrant evaluation. STC will prepare a technical memo to provide a recommendation to the City as to whether additional new traffic signals satisfy Caltrans Traffic Signal Warrants.

Deliverables:
• Technical Memorandum summarizing Traffic Signal Warrant Results at Four (4) New Intersections • Vehicle, Pedestrian & Bicycle Traffic Data Collection for 24-Hour Approach and Turning Movement Counts Task 6.3 - Traffic Signal Design Plans
STC will prepare the traffic signal modification design plans at a scale of 1” = 20’ for the following four (4) existing traffic signal intersections: Warren Road & Domenigoni Parkway, Warren Road & Mustang Way, Warren Road & Auto Boulevard, and Warren Road & Florida Avenue. It is anticipated that four (4) additional non-signalized intersections may satisfy Caltrans signal warrants. STC will prepare new traffic signal design plans at the following intersections: Warren Road & Simpson Road, Warren Road & Stetson Avenue, Warren Road & Devonshire Avenue, and Warren Road & Esplanade Avenue.

Traffic signal design plans will be at a scale of 1” = 20’ on City of Hemet standard title block sheets and follow City of Hemet standard plans and specifications, Greenbook, and Caltrans standards and specifications. The plan will show existing right-of-way lines, roadway centerlines, curb, gutter and sidewalk, existing signs and traffic controls, and utilities of record. All traffic signal components will be drafted using the latest CAD standards for traffic signal design. Plans will include general notes, construction notes, phase diagrams, pole and equipment schedules, conduit and conductor schedules, legend listing each utility symbol, and details for traffic signal controller cabinet assembly location, type of controller, pole locations and foundations, pull boxes, conduits, loops, and splicing. Other design elements will include EVP Opticom systems, pole and mast-arm signage, APS and countdown signal heads, battery backup systems within the controller cabinet, and LED safety lighting.

STC will work with the City of Hemet to coordinate with utility companies following the first plan submittal to begin utility conflict checks. STC will work with the City and utility companies, as necessary, to facilitate the relocation of any utilities found to conflict with proposed Traffic Signal improvements. STC will work with the City to prepare final utility notices and submit approved plans to the utility companies within the project limits. STC will coordinate with the City and Southern California Edison (SCE) for installation of the new type III-BF electrical service pedestal and addressing and determining service point locations. STC will compile the SCE work order request and work with the City for submittal to SCE. From previous experience, it is important to start this process early to reduce the risk of schedule and budget impacts. STC will work with the City to submit the SCE work order request following the 60% design plans.

Modifications to existing street lighting that is in conflict with/redundant to proposed traffic signal safety lighting will be removed and/ or relocated as needed. These modifications will be reflected on the plans with references for SCE coordination.

Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, Four Traffic Signal Modification Plan Sheets, Four New Traffic Signal Plan Sheets (30%, 60%, 90%, 100%) Task 6.4 - Signing and Striping Design Plans
STC will prepare signing and striping plans for Warren Road and at each existing and proposed traffic signal intersection along Warran Road within the project limits. STC will utilize survey, civil, and utility base files prepared by ERSC. The signing and striping plans on Warren Road will extend from Esplanade Avenue to Domenigoni Parkway and include existing and proposed traffic signals, including up to 500 feet along the signalized side streets. The signing and striping plans will be prepared at 1” = 40’ scale and use City of Hemet standard title block sheets and follow Hemet standard plans and specifications, Greenbook, and Caltrans standards and specifications.

The plans will incorporate all aspects of the existing and proposed signing and striping design and show curb markings, required removals, required signs to be protected in place, and proposed improvements for the ultimate alignment. 32

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, One Detail Sheet, and 20 Signing and Striping Design Plan Sheets (30%, 60%, 90%, 100%) Task 6.5 - Street Lighting/Electrical Design Plans
STC will prepare street lighting improvement plans at a scale of 1” = 40’. The base plan will show existing right-of-way lines, roadway centerlines, curb, gutter and sidewalk, utilities of record, and existing and proposed street light infrastructure (pull boxes, conduits, conductors, poles, service locations, etc.) along the Warren Road corridor. Plans will include general notes, construction notes, pole and equipment schedules, conduit and conductor schedules, panel schedules, voltage drop tables, and details for pole locations and foundations, pull boxes, conduits, and service locations. The design will be developed in accordance with the City of Hemet’s Design Standards, Ordinances and Regulations, Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, and Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) guidelines.

Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, One Detail Plan Sheet, and 12 Street Lighting Plan Sheets (30%, 60%, 90% and 100%) Task 6.6 - Traffic Signal Fiber Optic Interconnect Design Plans (Optional Task) STC will prepare a separate fiber optic interconnect plan at 1” = 40’ scale on Warren Road between Esplanade Avenue and Domenigoni Parkway. It is anticipated that there will be a total of eight (8) traffic signals, four (4) existing and four (4) new signals. The design will include the locations of conduit, pull box, fiber splice diagrams, and call out for necessary equipment at each existing and new traffic signal. It is anticipated that there will be a total of 17 plan sheets.

Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, Two Detail Plan Sheets, Two Splice Diagram Plan Sheets, and 12 Interconnect Design Plan Sheets (30%, 60%, 90% and 100%)
Task 6.7 - Traffic Control Phasing Plans (Optional Task) STC will work with the project team to develop engineered traffic control plans that aim to minimize traffic disruption, provide safe travel through the construction work zone for all modes of travel, and provide safety to construction workers. Concept traffic control plans will be developed first and clearly show traffic control staging that safely navigates vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists through each respective work zone stage. The traffic control plans will show schematic locations of work zones to illustrate the anticipated construction zones and the limits of traffic control for each phase of construction. The concept traffic control plans will be submitted to the City for acceptance prior to developing detailed traffic control plans. Construction along Warren Road may result in disruption to traffic, road narrowing, lane/parking restrictions, and potential detours. It is imperative to develop traffic control plans that garner stakeholder agreement to minimize traffic disruptions and impacts on the community.

STC will submit traffic control plans at a concept stage (30%) and 60%, 90%, and 100% levels. Plans will be prepared at a scale of 1” = 40’ in AutoCAD format in accordance with the City’s design guidelines and the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). Following each submittal review, STC will coordinate with the City on comments received to streamline the process. It is assumed for this scope that Warren Road will be constructed in three phases with a total of 60 traffic control sheets.

Deliverables:
• 60 Traffic Control Sheets at concept level at 30% and 60%, 90% and 100% levels Task 6.8 - VMT Traffic Analysis Screening Evaluation
STC will prepare a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Traffic Analysis as required by Senate Bill 743 (SB743), implemented throughout California on July 1, 2020. This legislation requires that transportation analysis conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) be conducted using VMT or other similar performance measures rather than vehicle level of service and delay, which was the traditional performance measure. SB 743 applies to both land development and transportation projects that increase roadway capacity.

STC will produce a VMT Screening Evaluation, which will provide justification, consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and City’s guidelines, that the project screens out from a full VMT Analysis, and a less than significant VMT impact may be presumed. This task assumes that the project design will provide sufficient pedestrian, bicycle, and multi-modal improvements to satisfy the screening criteria in the City’s VMT guidelines and that a complete VMT Analysis is not required.

Deliverables:
• VMT Screening Evaluation
Task 6.9 - Full VMT Traffic Analysis (Optional)
If the project cannot be screened out, a full VMT Traffic Analysis will be provided by STC utilizing the RIVCOM traffic model assessment reflecting General Plan Buildout conditions. STC will appoint a 3rd party vendor to conduct the RIVCOM traffic model runs, and the results and model extracts will be provided.

Findings and recommendations of the VMT Traffic Analysis will be summarized in a draft report, which will be supported by graphics and analysis results tables. STC will address two (2) rounds of comments from the City of Hemet. Should comments received cause the foundational elements of the project to be modified, STC will work with the City to amend our scope of work to address these items.

After addressing comments, STC will prepare and deliver the final report, which will be used to guide the project design and support the required CEQA document for the project.

Should the results determine a significant VMT impact, mitigation recommendations will be provided consistent with the City of Hemet 33

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for CEQA & VMT (May 2021), OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December 2018), and the CAPCOA Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity (October 2024).

Deliverables:
• Full VMT Analysis (Draft and Final)
• Mitigation Recommendations (if applicable)
Task 6.10 - Storm Drain Plans
Warren Road has several storm drainage features that will need consideration. These include the Hemet Storm Channel with multiple pipes crossing under Warren Rd south of Stetson Ave.; the existing double 8’W x 4’H box culvert crossing under Warren Rd from Tract No. 35393, south of Mustang Way; and finally, Salt Creek Channel which the proposed bridge widening will cross. In addition to these major MDP facilities, dirt drainage ditches run parallel to Warren Road along undeveloped properties. ERSC will prepare the necessary Storm Drainage plans following design standards of Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District).

Hemet Storm Channel is a District MDP facility that parallels an inactive railroad track and is a trapezoidal dirt facility at the crossing of Warren Road. There are currently two 60” CMP 10 gage pipes, as well as one 36” RCP Class II and one 18” RCP Class II pipe carrying and/or discharging runoff on the downstream side of the crossing. Plate 83 of the Hemet Master Drainage Plan identifies this confluence point with Line A of Southwest Hemet MDP and a total Q100 of 3,400 cfs. ERSC will confer with the District on planned improvements for this location, and the roadway design will incorporate appropriate and agreed-upon District and City improvements.

Hemet Storm Channel - Warren Road
Hemet Storm Channel - Warren Road
Downstream Crossing Looking East
SW Hemet MDP Line B was improved to an 8’W by 4’ H double box structure as part of the improvements for Tract No 35393. It appears the headwall placement on the west side of Warren Avenue takes into consideration the future widening of the street. ERSC will discuss with the City to confirm this assumption.

Salt Creek Channel is an earthen trapezoidal channel with bottom width of 230 feet and 14:1 side slopes residing in a 500-foot right-of-way owned and maintained by the District. The flow of the channel at the Warren Road crossing is a Q100 = 9,200 cfs. There are several SW Lines discharging into Salt Creek above and below the Warren Road crossing which will be included in the Hydrology and Hydraulic analysis for the Bridge.

ERSC has performed analysis on Salt Creek, inclusive of Warren Road bridge, by preparing an LOMR with an Effective Date of February 18, 2000. For this project, ERSC will utilize record data utilized in the preparation of the LOMR in addition to various FEMA Forms for comparison purposes and validation of effects on Salt Creek Channel with the proposed bridge structure.

With the design for widening Warren Road, it is assumed there will be low points along the profile. ERSC will identify these locations and, if appropriate, have low spots picked up via catch basin, which will discharge to existing drainage structures. If no drainage structures exist or are not contemplated for construction, existing drainage patterns will be reviewed to confirm acceptance of the ponding flow and no negative impact on existing improvements. As part of the Storm Drain preparation, hydrology and hydraulic calculations will support the sizing of the catch basin and lateral, whether connecting to a City or District facility. All sizing will be summarized and placed in a Report for submittal to the City and/or District.

Storm drain plans will identify locations of catch basins, local depressions, lateral pipe connections to mainlines, pipe extensions of existing storm drains, and any other storm drain-related appurtenances. Plans will clearly show whether the facility is to be City or District Maintained.

Deliverables:
• One Title Sheet, One Detail Sheet, and Storm Drain Design Plan Sheets (60%, 90%, 100%)
Task 6.11 – Potholing
Utility potholing for this Project will occur once all utilities have been mapped and siteverified at the surface and Improvement Plans are at 60% complete. The proposed design will be reviewed and areas of conflict will be identified. Besides looking for physical conflicts, grade change will be looked at to see if minimum/maximum cover criteria for the various Utilities is compromised.

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
The City of Hemet’s Traffic Signal Notes requires potholing for all signal pole equipment per Engineer’s direction. Since a 4-legged traffic signal intersection has two poles per corner or eight poles per intersection, it is recommended the traffic signal plans allow for 38 potholes. Other areas of potential conflict may be new utility crossing of existing utilities such as storm drains. The amount of potholes needed for these conflicts is unknown, so an additional 12 potholes will be added to the lump sum amount.

Once areas of conflict are determined, a map will be generated for pothole location and submitted to at least three Pothole companies to obtain competitive bids. ERSC will work with the pothole contractor to pull a City No-Fee Encroachment Permit from the City.

Our fee estimate includes a lump sum cost for potholing work by a utility pothole company and/or contractor.

ERSC will generate a Pothole Map for ERSC’s Survey Team to field locate the utilities to be potholed.

Deliverables:
• Pothole Map
• Pothole Final Report
Assumptions:
• Potholing within City right-of-way will be granted with a No-Fee Encroachment Permit by City or fee will be reimbursable Task 6.12 - Bridge Hydrology & Hydraulics Analysis
ERSC shall perform a hydrologic analysis for the 100-year protection of the selected bridge structure and any impacts upon the existing bridge structures. ERSC will utilize Riverside County Rational Methods for computing peak flows on small, mostly urban watersheds.

The interface includes the capacity to combine runoff from multiple basins. ERSC shall perform hydraulic backwater model analysis using HEC-RAS River System Surface Profiles in rivers (Corps of Engineers) Computer Program for Salt Creek Channel. The analysis shall include the existing conditions model through the project site (Warren Road bridge crossing) and the post-project conditions model.

The analysis compares the water surface elevations calculated for the 100-year flood (Q100) and Q50 for the two conditions.

ERSC shall prepare a scour analysis for the type of bridge proposed, consisting of Contraction scour, Long-Term scour, and Abutment scour through the bridge openings. ERSC shall prepare the necessary studies, plans, and investigation as required to obtain a waterway permit for the new structure. This task will include coordination with RCFC & WCD.

Deliverables:
• Hydrologic Analysis Report
• Hydraulic Analysis of the Proposed Bridge
• Scour Analysis Report
Task 6.13 - Landscaping and Irrigation Plans
ERSC has partnered with Community Works Design Group (CWDG) to provide Landscape and Irrigation within the parkways for the length of the street improvements. The CWDG team brings vast experience developing durable streetscapes within wildland interface areas within the inland regions, with many parallels to Warren Road. They will aim to create an aesthetically pleasing, unifying character to the landscape areas within this important street improvement project. CWDG will strive to complement the native landscape following the City’s Community Design Element and the Scenic Highway Setback Manual.

CWDG will meet on-site with ERSC staff
and City representatives to discuss
the intended outcome of the finished
project, relating to ongoing maintenance,
preferred irrigation components, and
preferred planting selections in addition
to aesthetics and amenities along the
connector the Cit wishes to include. The
CWDG team will collect a soil sample
for Agronomic Soil Testing and meet onsite with the City’s Maintenance team to review existing irrigation and possible
points(s) of connection for the irrigation
system.

CWDG will review the schematic
plans prepared by ERSC and develop a
corresponding conceptual landscape plan
for the scenic highway enhancements. We
will include a conceptual planting plan for parkway adjustments as needed for the Warren Road Improvements.

Upon the City’s feedback from ERSC’s Conceptual Design Submittal, CWDG will begin preparation of the Construction Documents (PS&E) and will make its first submittal at the 65% level, followed by 90% and 100% submittals following subsequent City reviews.

IRRIGATION PLANS: CWDG will prepare irrigation demolition and tie-in plans for the optimal watering of the parkway where it is being modified to accommodate the trail, utilizing City preferred equipment and tying into an existing point of connection where possible.

CWDG will include MWELO Calculations if needed as well.

CWDG will prepare corresponding cost estimates based on real-time industry costs derived from recent bids and product/labor quotes captured by our office from comparable projects and will plan on identifying value engineering and phasing options for the City’s consideration. As the conceptual level drawings progress into design development and construction document level graphics, the inhouse Certified Irrigation Designer will prepare irrigation plans, which will be prepared for full compliance with EMWD standards (of which CWDG has extensive experience in preparing). Specifications will be tailored for compatibility with Greenbook standard format.

CWDG will update plans, specifications, and estimates at the 60% and 90% levels to correlate to the street improvement plans and adjust as needed to match the City’s expectations and available budget. We will promptly finalize the plans to the 100% level for final approval prior to competitive bidding of the project.

Deliverables:
• 30% Concept Design – 24” x 36” at 20’ scale
• 65%, 90%, 100% and Final Planting & Irrigation Plans
• 65%, 90%, 100% and Final Specifications & Cost Estimate ERSC is partnering with Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. (BCA) to prepare the required Bridge design documents.

Task 6.14 - Bridge Design Plans
Bridge Considerations
The existing Warren Road Bridge over Salt Creek Channel is a cast-in-place (CIP) post-tension concrete box girder bridge. The bridge is about 30 years old. It is a 5-span structure supported by concrete pier walls on small-diameter cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic, as well as cyclists and pedestrians. The City desires to increase the capacity of this crossing to four total lanes (two in each direction), along with pedestrian and cyclist facilities along both edges, to conform with the ultimate section of the widened Warren Road.

Alternatives Analysis: Widening vs Separate Structure
The RFP calls for widening of the existing bridge. BCA has performed preliminary structural and cost analyses and concluded that while feasible, structural widening may not be the highest value alternative for adding the desired capacity. Rather, constructing a standalone structure adjacent to the existing bridge would likely capture more long-term value.

One major impediment to widening is the presence of the existing pier walls. As our industry’s understanding of structural seismic behavior has progressed in recent years, the use of walls as substructure elements has increasingly fallen out of favor. This is because discrete columns perform in a more desirable and ductile manner under transverse seismic loading. In fact, Caltrans discourages the use of pier walls altogether for new structures. Where there is a pressing hydraulic need for a continuous wall-like support, Caltrans guidance is to use columns with sacrificial guide walls in between, to mimic the hydraulic profile of pier walls without the undesirable seismic behavior. These sacrificial walls do not contribute any structural capacity.

Unfortunately, it would not be possible to use sacrificial pier walls or simple multi-column supports for the widening alternative to work. This is due to the inherent flexibility of these supports, which undergo more movement under seismic loading (this is key to their desirable seismic behavior). If a flexible structure (columns) is tied to a rigid structure (pier walls) via a continuous deck, the natural seismic movement of the flexible structure will, in effect, be resisted by the rigid structure, potentially causing the rigid structure to be overloaded.

Rather, the widening (“2025 widening”) would be forced to use “true” pier wall supports to induce compatible seismic behavior with the existing bridge. While Caltrans does allow the use of pier walls for widenings, the question arises: What do we do when the original structure needs to be replaced? Upon completion of this project, the original structure will have about 40 years of remaining design life, while the widened portion will have 75 years. Once the time has come to take the original bridge out of service, a thorny issue is revealed: the replacement of the original portion will need to be a widening (of the remaining 2025 portion) on pier walls for seismic compatibility or a separate standalone structure. But this time, proceeding with a standalone structure is much more complicated because the remaining 2025 portion is not wide enough to itself be a standalone bridge. Thus, the 2025 portion must also be removed and replaced with a single wider structure, or the 2025 portion can be kept in service and widened to serve in tandem with a new, narrower, separate structure. At this point, we are essentially painted into a corner – all available options bear enormous inefficiency. 36

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
A better long-term value proposition would be to construct a separate standalone structure now so that the replacement timelines and substructure types of the two structures are decoupled. Although the initial cost may be slightly higher (this will be assessed as part of this project), total lifetime cost will most likely be lower since the long-term inefficiencies and complications associated with widening are completely avoided.

Bridge Lifecycle Cost Analysis
BCA’s team will use Bridge Life Cycle Cost Analysis (BLCCA) to help determine the best-value alternative. BLCCA is an important tool for assessing the relative values of alternatives with dissimilar time horizons and costs, such as new construction v. widening. The life-cycle cost of a bridge consists of the total investment throughout the life of the bridge. This investment includes the initial construction costs, mitigation costs, repair and rehabilitation costs, all anticipated maintenance costs, and future replacement costs. BLCCA synthesizes cost, anticipated service life, and economic factors to reveal the best-value alternative.

BCA’s team is adept at performing this analysis and intends to work with the City to form a value determination that is a key part of our alternatives analysis.

Span Configuration
As part of the Type Selection process, BCA will discuss various span configurations and structure types for both the “widening” and “separate structure” alternatives to arrive at the preferred alternative. For the widening alternative, BCA will replicate the existing bridge span configuration and structure depth. For the “separate structure” alternative, BCA will match the existing span configuration if hydraulically necessary but will assess whether using longer spans and fewer intermediate supports can decrease costs while providing sufficient hydraulic performance. For instance, a four-span structure would have controlling span lengths of about 130 feet, which is not excessive. The new supports would be offset from the existing pier walls, and the structure would need to be about 1’-6” deeper than the existing bridge. BCA will assess whether the extra depth can be accommodated by extending downward into the existing freeboard or upward via profile modifications.

Structure Types
BCA anticipates that prestressed concrete construction will be the ideal construction type for this crossing. The two predominant branches of prestressed concrete, Precast-Prestressed (PC/PS) Concrete Girder construction and Cast-in-Place Post-Tension Concrete Box Girder construction, each carry their own advantages. 37

15.F.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Scope
BCA has designed many Precast/Prestressed (PC/PS) girder bridges, so our engineers understand how to maximize the advantages of this structure type. PC/PS girder bridges have grown in popularity in recent years. They are economical and quick to construct and are a great option for crossings over waterways—the girders are erected with cranes, so very little falsework is required, and impacts to the waterway are minimized.

The concrete box girder is the most common bridge type in California. Construction is straightforward and economical. Bridge contractors prefer this structure type. Since all concrete work is formed and all rebar is placed ahead of time, the contractor has ample time to work out any kinks before their work is “set in stone.” This often results in more competitive bidding. Extensive falsework would be needed within the riverbed, which will receive scrutiny from permitting agencies. The BCA team has recent experience designing and permitting CIP/PT bridges in the area (Caltrans District 8) and is well-positioned to shepherd this project through all approvals.

Substructure Type & Hydraulic Considerations
Given the anticipated granular soils at the project area and based on our team’s experience with similar sites, cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) concrete piles will likely be the ideal substructure type. Compared to driven piles, CIDH piles offer advantages in constructability, scour resistance, and seismic performance in alluvium. Small-diameter CIDH piles may be used (similar to the existing bridge), or largediameter column extensions may prove more advantageous. BCA’s team will assess these options and the cost and feasibility of driven piles to determine the best value foundation type.

Bridge Aesthetic Considerations:

BCA’s team will thoughtfully consider public input in developing an aesthetic scheme that “belongs” to the local community, minimizes maintenance, and deters vandalism. Bridge barriers present a great opportunity to imbue a bridge with a distinct architectural feel at a low cost. Caltrans has recently taken a step forward in aesthetics by developing some standard, open-style vehicular barriers that are quite handsome (Type 85, Type CA ST-75). BCA’s team can also provide custom decorative pedestrian barriers since it is anticipated that a separated walkway will be required (due to design speed over 45 mph). Aesthetic enhancements will be selected in close coordination with the City to achieve a scheme that is impactful, uncluttered, and low-maintenance.

Task 6.14.1 - 35% Bridge PS&E
A Structure Type Selection Report will be prepared for the Warren Road Bridge widening. The report will include a discussion of foundation and falsework requirements, seismic and aesthetic considerations, traffic handling requirements, staging, and construction costs. Anticipated construction methods for delivering precast members and lifting them into place will be identified in the Type Selection process and verified against site and delivery route constraints. BCA will submit Type Selection documents to ERSC for review and approval. BCA shall prepare a preliminary cost estimate for each structural alternative to be included in the Structure Type Selection Report. BCA shall perform a Bridge Lifecycle Cost Analysis (BLCCA) to aid in identifying the best-value alternative.

Upon receipt of comments on the draft Structure Type Selection Report, BCA will provide written responses to any structures-related comments from the City and other review agencies. An updated/final Structure Type Selection Report will be prepared and submitted.

Q UALITY A SSURANCE /Q UALITY

C ONTROL
TKE takes pride in our reputation for thoroughness, rapid turnaround, cost efficiency and overall quality of work, and believes that a high level of quality is needed on all PS&E packages. High quality design yields the following tangible results:

Δ Ease of oversight
Δ Smoother processing
Δ Healthy number of bidders
Δ Consistent bids
Δ Minimized construction support cost
Δ Absence of design-related change orders
Δ Reduced claims and dispute resolution costs
TKE believes that the most successful quality assurance program is one that is applied inherently throughout the entire design process and all design activities. This
program requires not only formal procedures for
checking, but encourages the conscientious effort of
experienced people to always “create quality” in every
task performed throughout the design process.

This program has become a natural element in all aspects of TKE’s design and management activities, and will guide our work on this contract:

Δ Staff training and development
Δ Assignment of experienced staff
Δ Continuity of staffing
Δ Project-specific work plan
Δ Schedule compliance
Δ Comprehensive field review and compilation of
site data
Δ Established design procedures
Δ Established detailing standards
Δ Established checking procedures, including
independent in-house QA/QC review
Δ Dual (independent) quantity estimates
Δ Review by Constructability expert
This Quality Assurance/Quality Control program is in
place to ensure that PS&E documents prepared by TKE
continue to exceed the standards of our clients and that we will deliver the project on schedule and within budget.

SECTION III | PROJECT SCOPE
SECTION III | PROJECT SCOPE
A. PRO JECT

UNDERSTANDING
The City of Hemet (City) desires to retain professional engineering design services for construction of the
widening of Warren Road from Esplanade Avenue to
Domenigoni. The project will consist of widening the
existing 2-lane road to a 4-lane corridor with curb, gutter and sidewalk through two different segments and
widening of the Salt Creek Bridge. The project will also install traffic signals, street lighting, sidewalk, ADA ramps and potential retaining wall or slope grading along the McCall Boulevard.

Services include but are not limited to:

Δ Project management
Δ Preliminary and final Engineering including
preparation of plans
Δ Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E)
Δ CEQA Environmental Assistance
Δ Utility coordination
Δ Coordination with other jurisdictional agencies
Δ ROW acquisition
Δ Community outreach
Δ Bidding and Construction Support
TKE has a long history of delivering street widening
improvement projects for numerous of the surrounding
communities in which we live and work on a daily basis.

From our first project in 2000 to our latest project of this type, TKE has always understood the importance of
these projects to the local community. TKE commits to
staying on time and budget through creative engineering techniques and a collaborative effort between the public agencies and the community. Our team has
demonstrated the ability to build project coalitions time and time again.

Finally, it doesn’t matter how much community support
that’s developed if the project isn’t delivered! We
understand how important time and budget are to this
project. Since the City has desires to enhance public
improvements, it is important to have a proactive
approach to project completion. This way, alternative
design methods can be explored and implemented to
keep the project within budget and on schedule.

B. PROJECT APPROACH
Successful project delivery is our goal. Our definition of successful project delivery is:

Δ Project completion that meets all project
requirements
Δ Project completion within budget
Δ Project completion on schedule
Our goal is not limited to the design of the project only, but includes the incorporation of value engineering and constructability review. Through the examination of
specific design alternatives, we will identify the most cost-effective project alternative that meets design
requirements and will provide for the greatest
opportunity for expedited construction, which allows us to consistently deliver projects that use public resources in a very wise and responsible manner. We have
developed this project approach in order to maintain an expertise in our core business of projects with tight
budgetary constraints.

With street widening projects, our experience tells us
that there must be a proactive approach to completing
the work in order to meet scheduling and community
requirements. This approach includes early
identification of critical design elements, familiarity with permitting requirements, early community coordination
for acquisition and relocation coordination and accurate cost estimating throughout the entire process. In
preparing this proposal, our team spent numerous hours
reviewing the project site, existing infrastructure, City goals and project constraints to establish key issues so we can be prepared to mobilize on a moment’s notice to
assist you.

C. CRITICAL ISSUES
TKE’s understanding of the project requirements is the
key to successfully overcoming project challenges within the proposed project schedule. TKE has worked with
similar street and bridge widening project for the past 25 years. Our experience allows TKE to develop a much
greater project understanding and will allow TKE to
begin work on critical issues immediately after the
project is awarded.

R IGHT - OF - W AY
Based on our review of the proposed alignment, the
project will require approximately 9 right-of-way
acquisitions of permanent right-of-way
dedication. Additional temporary construction

15.F.

Page |14
Warren Road Improvements
City of Hemet
SECTION III | PROJECT SCOPE
easements or rights-of-entry may be required for parcels where significant grading will be required to allow for improvement transitions.

Once the base mapping is prepared for the entire reach
of the project limits, TKE will immediately begin work on identifying right-of-way requirements and begin
communications with each property owner to identify if
private improvements will be part of the
negotiations. Right-of-way is usually a critical path item and this will provide an extensive head start and shorten overall project delivery time.

S TREET , D RIVEWAY AND P ROPERTY

T RANSITIONS
For street widening projects, transitions to existing
improvements are typically the most challenging
component of design. Street transitions will require
that improvements be constructed at ultimate locations
with interim design being implemented. Therefore, the
improvements must be constructed so that no
reconstruction of permanent improvements will be
required and interim transitions are safe and functional.

Many of the adjacent properties have significant vertical elevation differences and will require significant grading to accommodate proper transitions to the proposed
improvements. Using the topographic mapping, TKE will
prepare multiple vertical alignment designs that will
analyze environmental impacts, impacts to adjacent
properties and developments, impacts to adjacent
streets, conveyance of offsite drainage, street drainage, earthwork, utility relocations, slope and temporary
construction easements, traffic impacts, constructability reviews along the proposed Warren Road
alignment. The analysis will include a report identifying potential impacts, mitigation requirements and
quantities as appropriate for each item listed above and will include preliminary profiling for each alternative.

For driveways, grades will require special
attention. Street widening normally lowers flow lines
grades to ensure desired street cross-sections can be
developed. In addition, the widening reduces the
transition lengths. The combination of the two may
create excessive grades if not appropriately
designed. To ensure such does not occur, TKE will review survey data well into the properties and recommend
construction of improvements beyond street right-ofway, to minimize street widening impacts on private driveway grades.

For private improvements, private improvements such
as fences, walls, and landscaping will be impacted by
street widening. TKE will identify such impacts early
during project design and will develop an action plan for working with properties that may be impacted.

D RAINAGE
Design of drainage systems must be developed early
during design to identify locations of structures. In
particular, catch basins must be identified to eliminate potential conflicts. In addition, hydrology and hydraulic calculations must be performed early to adequately size the required drainage structures in accordance with the City’s master plan.

U TILITY C OORDINATION
Based on field review, various utilities will require
relocation. These facilities include power poles, risers and utility vaults. We will identify these facilities early in project design to begin coordination at the earliest opportunity. TKE has extensive experience coordinating
with SCE for the relocation and undergrounding of
existing power poles. Agencies that maintain private
utilities can be cumbersome and early coordination will prevent project delays.

P AVEMENT R EHABILITATION
Review of the pavement conditions on McCall Boulevard
indicate that pavement conditions vary from fair to
complete structural failure. TKE will review the
pavement conditions and offer alternatives which have
varying life expectancies, upon the City’s
request. Included with the Geotechnical services
presented in the scope of services is pavement
design. Samples will be taken in the street subgrade for laboratory testing to determine the correct section for street design.

A CCURATE C OST E STIMATING
Because of the limited budget, it is vital to keep costs controlled. Our approach to controlling costs is to
provide frequent and accurate cost estimates by using
TKE’s detailed cost estimating database. In addition to using this database, TKE utilizes our considerable
experience with Construction Management to assist in
providing constructability reviews and cost estimating
based on current information from our on-going
projects. Finally, with the current economic climate,
construction costs are widely varying. We will also

15.F.

Page |15

discuss the project’s elements with local contractors to assure that we have the most current construction
information available so that the City can get the most “bang for their buck”.

E NGINEERING
Using the topographic mapping, TKE will prepare
preliminary design concepts for geometric alignment
that will analyze impacts to adjacent properties and
developments, impacts to adjacent streets,
conveyance of offsite drainage, street drainage,
earthwork, utility relocations, slope and temporary
construction easements, traffic impacts,
constructability reviews and future street
improvements. Preliminary geometric design will be
performed to establish ultimate improvements to
minimize removals of improvements constructed with
future projects. The analysis will include an exhibit
identifying potential impacts, mitigation requirements
and quantities as appropriate for each item listed
above and will include preliminary engineer’s
estimate. TKE will attend two meetings for review and
approval of the geometric alignment design.

In addition, TKE will prepare hydrology and hydraulic
analysis of the project area to determine culvert
and/or low water crossing flowrates and size
requirements.

TKE will prepare preliminary alignments for all curb,
gutter, sidewalk and striping improvements and
present the alternatives to the City in a Geometric
Alignment Design (GAD). The GAD will be reviewed
with City Staff to determine the desired alignments for all improvements and a final approved design will be
accepted during this process.

temporary construction right-of-way deeds and
easements. We will prepare legal descriptions and plats for each parcel requiring acquisition and, working with the City, we will attend two negotiation meetings with
each property owner to negotiate the acquisition. If after two meetings a negotiated position has not been
reached, the City will need to provide additional
direction. TKE anticipates right-of-way document
preparation for all four corner properties at the
proposed roundabout intersections, approximately 40
parcels. Right-of-way documents would be prepared in
accordance with the City requirements.

Hemet, CA 92543
RE: Request for Proposal for Professional Engineering Services for Warren Road Improvements Dear Ms. Sunds,
Warren Road serves as a critical north-south connector in Hemet. However, narrow shoulders, substandard curves, and limited pedestrian and bicycle access create mobility and safety challenges. Through thoughtful planning and phased implementation, the City can transform Warren Road into a modern, efficient arterial that enhances regional connectivity.

Albert A. Webb Associates (WEBB) is prepared to support this effort with technical expertise, deep regional knowledge, and a proactive approach to project delivery.

Delivering a Strategic, Phased Approach
The City’s vision for Warren Road includes a four-lane arterial from Esplanade Avenue to Domenigoni Parkway, constructed in three phases:
• Phase 1: Esplanade Avenue to Stetson Avenue
• Phase 2: Stetson Avenue to Salt Creek Bridge
• Phase 3: Salt Creek Bridge Widening
Successfully delivering this project requires careful phasing, strategic funding alignment, and proactive coordination.

WEBB’s approach is rooted in detailed planning, risk mitigation, and streamlined execution:
• Project Scope & Alignment: Our team will develop a phased design that integrates key infrastructure components while aligning with available funding.
• Budget & Schedule Control: We will implement cost-effective strategies to keep the project on schedule and within budget while addressing potential funding constraints. • Quality Assurance & Milestone-Based Reviews: A rigorous quality control process at major milestones— Preliminary Design, 60%, 90%, and Final Bid Documents—ensures accuracy, compliance, and constructability. • Clear Communication & Stakeholder Coordination: Transparent, proactive communication with the City, utility agencies, and environmental consultants will ensure timely decisions and seamless project integration. • Risk Management & Problem-Solving: Identifying risks early—right-of-way constraints, utility conflicts, drainage issues, and phasing complexities—allows us to develop targeted mitigation strategies and ensure smooth execution.

Warren Road Improvements
Madison Street Improvement Project, managed by
WEBB, involved a series of environmental, engineering,
and right-of-way services. The project spanned one
mile between Avenue 50 and 52. WEBB’s contributions
included an alignment study, environmental services,
utility relocation, right-of-way acquisition, a roundabout feasibility study, and coordination with multiple
entities. The project addressed the non-compliance of
Madison Street’s typical section with the General Plan
Circulation Elements of both cities and facilitated the installation of a double box culvert on the Coachella
Valley Water District’s Canal. The project also dealt
with several residential tracts and El Dorado/Empire
Polo Club properties, necessitating different alignments for additional right-of-way. Effective communication
with property owners was crucial for this project.

The project faced challenges due to shared right-ofways by multiple agencies, leading to conflicts due to existing utilities and potential conflicts with proposed improvements. It was essential to establish senior
rights within the shared right-of-way. WEBB’s research
proved that the City of La Quinta had senior rights,
leading to IID accepting shared responsibility for 37
transmission lines, saving the project over $2 million.

A double-box culvert was previously installed over
the Coachella Canal on Madison Street. An alignment
study and geometrics analysis were conducted to
avoid reconstructing the box culvert’s headwall,
successfully meeting the ultimate geometrics need.

The project was constructed in three phases.

Challenges: City/CVWD/IID/Property Owner coordination.

Coachella Music Festivals construction restrictions.

Final Result: Successfully completed three phases
without impacting the festivals.
