ITEM NO. 12.
Invitation For Bid #20-811-0008
Title: Shannon Road Repair
98 trees could result in the destruction of roosts, and disturbance from construction activities in the vicinity of maternity roosts could result in roost abandonment and mortality of young. The following measures should be implemented to ensure that no unanticipated effects on Townsend’s big-eared bat will occur during project construction:
• No more than 14 days prior to the initiation of tree and vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities, the Town will provide a qualified biologist to conduct a survey of the project site and vicinity to determine if Townsend’s big-eared bat roosts are present. The Contractor shall provide at least 2 weeks notification to the Town to provide survey of bats. • If active Townsend’s big-eared bat roosts are found on or in the immediate vicinity of the project site where construction activities are planned, consultation with CDFW is recommended to establish acceptable avoidance or minimization measures to avoid impacts to Townsend’s big-eared bat. Avoidance measures could include the establishment of a suitable activity-free buffer around active roosting sites. The size of the buffer, duration of buffer, acceptable activities, and other details will be established through consultation with the CDFW. The avoidance or minimization plan shall be submitted to the Town and CDFW for review and approval prior to the start of construction activities. • Alternatively, if occupied trees need to be removed, then the Town shall prepare a Bat Management Plan. The plan shall recognize that both maternity and winter roosting seasons are vulnerable times for bats and require exclusion outside of these times, generally between March 1 to April 15 or September 1 to October 15 when temperatures are sufficiently warm. The plan will identify suitable areas for excluded bats to disperse to or require the installation of artificial bat houses as necessary. The Town shall monitor the removal of trees with suitable bat habitat or identified as occupied by bats during the Project. Trees may be removed only if: a) presence of bats is presumed, or documented during the surveys, in trees with suitable bat habitat, and removal using the two-step removal process detailed below occurs only during seasonal periods of bat activity from approximately March 1 through April 15 and September 1 through October 15, or b) after a CDFW Qualified Biologist, under prior written approval of the proposed survey methods by the CDFW, conducts night emergence surveys or a complete visual examination of roost features that establish absence of roosting bats. Two-step tree removal will be conducted over two consecutive days, as follows: 1) the first day (in the afternoon), under direct supervision and instruction by a qualified bat biologist limbs and branches will be removed by a tree cutter using chainsaws only. Limbs with cavities, crevices, or deep bark fissures will be avoided, and 2) the second day the entire tree will be removed.
Trees within the project area provide potential nesting habitat for migratory birds and raptors. If a migratory bird or raptor were to nest in the project area prior to or during proposed construction activities, such activities could result in the abandonment of active nests or direct mortality to the bird.
Construction activities that adversely affect the nesting success of any migratory birds, including treenesting raptors, or result in the mortality individual birds constitute a violation of the Federal Migratory
ITEM NO. 12.
Invitation For Bid #20-811-0008
Title: Shannon Road Repair
99 Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C., scc. 703, Supp. I, 1989) which prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in migratory birds, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
Below are 2 construction requirements to ensure that no unanticipated effects on nesting migratory birds and raptors will occur during project construction:
• Standard CDFW Requirement 1: If project work must occur during the nesting season (February 1 – September 1), the Town shall utilize a qualified biologist to survey nesting birds within the project area, no more than 14 days prior to the beginning of tree and vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities. A copy of the survey shall be submitted to the Town prior to the start of construction activities. The Contractor shall provide at least 2 weeks notification to the Town to provide survey of nesting birds and raptors.
• Standard CDFW Requirement 2: If nesting birds are detected within the project area during the survey, consultation with CDFW and USFWS is recommended to establish acceptable avoidance or minimization measures to avoid impacts to migratory birds and raptors. Avoidance measures could include the establishment of a suitable activity-free buffer around active nests/roosting sites. The size of the buffer, duration of buffer, acceptable activities, and other details will be established through consultation with the CDFW and USFWS. The avoidance or minimization plan shall be submitted to the Town, CDFW, and USFWS for review and approval prior to the start of construction activities. These measures will ensure that no nesting birds are impacted by construction activities.
Native and protected tree species were noted during the biological resources survey and are indicated SSS and Environmental Feasibility Memo. Chapter 29, Article I, Division 2 of the Town Code addresses tree removal regulations including permit requirements for projects that will require removal or pruning of trees. This division protects all trees which have a four-inch or greater diameter of any trunk and are located on property other than developed residential property or are publicly owned trees growing on Town lands, public places, or in a public right-of-way easement. The division also protects heritage trees and large protected trees. Heritage trees are specifically designated by action of the Town Council as such, and large protected trees are defined as any oak (Quercus spp.), California buckeye (Aesculus californica), or Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) which has a 24-inch or greater diameter; or any other species of tree with a 48-inch or greater diameter. Damage to live oak trees and or other native trees not specified for removal or trimming/pruning in the project plans and specifications including all costs and mitigation measures for this damage shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
Additional general construction measures shall be implemented by the Contractor to protect wildlife species and habitats:
• The use or storage of petroleum-powered equipment shall be accomplished in a manner to prevent the potential release of petroleum materials into adjacent habitat areas, including waters of the State and U.S.,
• Areas for fuel storage, refueling and servicing of construction equipment must be located in an upland location outside of sensitive habitat,
ITEM NO. 12.
Invitation For Bid #20-811-0008
Title: Shannon Road Repair

• Wash sites must be located in upland locations to ensure wash water does not flow into stream channels or wetlands.
• All construction equipment must be in good working condition, showing no signs of fuel or oil leaks.
All questionable motor oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and hydraulic fluid hoses, fittings and seals shall be replaced. The mechanical equipment shall be inspected on a daily basis to ensure no leaks. All leaks shall be repaired in the equipment staging area or other suitable location prior to resumption of construction activity.
• Oil absorbent and spill containment materials shall be located on site when mechanical equipment is in operation within 100 feet of wetland or other habitat areas. If a spill occurs, no additional work shall occur until, 1) the mechanical equipment is inspected by the Contractor and the leak has been repaired, 2) the spill has been contained, and 3) the appropriate regulatory agencies have been contacted and have evaluated the impacts of the spill.
• To avoid debris contamination into drainages and other sensitive wildlife habitats, silt fence or other sediment control devices shall be placed around construction sites in these areas to contain spoils from construction excavation activities.
• Surveys for identified special-status species shall be conducted by qualified biologists at the appropriate times before construction starts to determine occupancy at the site. If no special-status species are found, no further action other than the Best Management Practices identified above are required. If individuals are found, including nesting birds, a buffer zone around the species or nest will be required at a sufficient distance to prevent take of individual species. • Environmental Awareness Training shall be presented to all Contractor personnel working in the field on the proposed project area. Training shall consist of a brief presentation in which biologists knowledgeable of endangered species biology and legislative protection shall explain endangered species concerns. Training shall include a discussion of sensitive wildlife species (Townsend’s big-eared bat, nesting birds). Species biology, habitat needs, identification, status under the California and Federal Endangered Species Acts, and measures being incorporated for the protection of these species and their habitats shall also be discussed. As part of the training, an environmental awareness handout will be provided to all personnel that describes the special-status species, includes photographs of the species, and lists applicable permit conditions identified by local, state, and federal agencies to protect these resources. If any project personnel are added to the proposed project, they must receive the mandatory training before starting work.
• Project site boundaries shall be clearly delineated by stakes and/or flagging by the Contractor to minimize inadvertent degradation or loss of adjacent habitat areas during project operations. Contractor shall post signs and/or place fence around the project site to restrict access of vehicles and equipment unrelated to project operations.
Full compensation for complying with the above provisions shall be considered as included in the contract price for “Clearing and Grubbing” and no separate payment will be made.

Samples of the cement treated FDR blend will be obtained, cured for three (3) days as appropriate to simulate field curing methods, and tested for compressive strength.
A. Traffic Loading – Once the FDR section is finished; Contractor may be allowed to place subsequent structural layers over the FDR section provided that the following criteria are met:
1. The FDR section is stable and non-yielding under a minimum 15-ton proof-roll.
2. The FDR section has no evidence of shrinkage cracking.
3. The FDR section criteria have been met, including the FDR section thickness, percentage of cement placed, compressive strength, and quantity or volume of FDR treatment confirmed.
B. Repair – If the FDR-cement section is damaged, it shall be repaired by removing and replacing the entire depth of affected layers in the damaged area. Feathering will not be permitted for repair of low areas. The Contractor shall use the same roller employed for compaction and apply

Although surface damage should not occur, the Contractor shall inspect the process for verification and alter the process to prevent surface damage.
C. Curing – After placement and compaction of the FDR-cement section is completed, it shall be protected against drying and traffic for three (3) days. The Engineer may reduce the three (3)- day cure period, based on factors such as degree of traffic, temperature, and stability. Curing shall be moist (water fogging), bituminous fog seal, or other method approved by the Engineer.
If moist curing is used, exposed surfaces of the FDR section shall be kept continuously moist with a fog spray for three (3) days. If a bituminous curing is used, it shall consist of liquid asphalt or emulsified asphalt meeting the requirements of Section 94 “Asphaltic Emulsions,” of the Standard Specifications. The bituminous curing seal shall be applied in sufficient quantity to provide a continuous membrane over the soil at a rate of between 0.45 L/m2 and 0.90 L/m2 (0.10 and 0.20 gallon per square yard) of surface with the exact rate determined by the Engineer. It shall be applied as soon as possible after the completion of final rolling. The surface shall be kept moist while the seal is applied. At the time the bituminous material is applied, the soil surface shall be dense, shall be free of all loose and extraneous material, and shall contain enough moisture to prevent excessive penetration of the bituminous material.

BASIC CHARGES AND LIMITATIONS
The estimated fee for the scope of work presented above and in Attachment A will be provided on a Time-and-Expense, Not-to-Exceed basis. Our proposed fee for CM and inspection services for the Shannon Rd Repair Project is based on the scheduled number of working days (90 days) and scope of work provided by the Town.
Based on the scope of work and assumptions outlined in this proposal and on the attached cost estimation spreadsheet, we estimate that the cost of our construction management services would be approximately $280,311. An approximate breakdown by task is presented below.
Scope Item Subtotals
Project Management and Admin $ 2,976
Task 1 – Pre-construction $ 8,000
Task 2 – During Construction $ 254,615
Task 3 – Post-Construction/Project Closeout $ 14,720
TOTAL: $ 280,311
A breakdown of our fee estimate for each Task is presented in the table in Attachment A.
ITEM NO. 12.
Task Order Scope and Fee Estimate Page 5
Shannon Road Roadway Restoration 25 May 2023
Keeping the Town’s budget in mind, we would minimize concrete sampling and testing to 25% of the piles. Due to the low strength requirement of the fill, our engineering team is able to approve limited testing if the concrete appears to be satisfactory based on field inspection and initial concrete break results. This savings is reflected in the cost estimate.
Haley & Aldrich is also submitting a separate proposal for Construction Management (CM) services for this Project. Should the Town select us for both the CM and Geotechnical scopes, significant added value can be realized through enhanced coordination, more efficient scheduling of field activities and meetings, and streamlined communication between teams. A key advantage of this integrated approach is our ability to assign the same qualified field personnel to perform both geotechnical observations/testing and the technical inspection requirements of the CM scope.
In recognition of the Town of Los Gatos awarding Haley & Aldrich, Inc. both the Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Management contracts for the Shannon Road Repair Project, we are pleased to apply a 20% discount to our previously proposed not-to-exceed fee for Geotechnical Engineering Services during construction. Accordingly, our construction phase geotechnical engineering services will be provided on a time-and-materials, not-to-exceed basis in accordance with our “Standard Terms and Conditions, 2020” and the attached “Standard Fee Schedule, 2025.” Our not-to-exceed (NTE) budget is $110,500 for the geotechnical engineering services and $280,311 for construction management services.
EXCLUSIONS
The proposed scope of work and level of effort will be limited to only those tasks described in the scope of work and to the extent indicated in the level of effort included on the attached spreadsheet. Any additional work beyond that indicated is to be considered excluded and will be undertaken and completed only after receipt of written authorization of additional work by the Town of Los Gatos.
It is our assumption that special permitting and coordination efforts will not be required.
The costs associated with these efforts have not been included in this proposal. If it is determined that special permitting and coordination efforts are required, these services will be completed upon request, on a time and expenses basis.

Attention: Mr. Saurabh Nijhawan, PE
Senior Civil Engineer
Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services During Construction Shannon Road Repair Project
Los Gatos, California
Dear Mr. Nijhawan:
Haley & Aldrich, Inc. (Haley & Aldrich) is pleased to submit this scope of work and fee estimate for Geotechnical Engineering Services During Construction for the Shannon Road Repair Project (CIP 20-811- 0008), as requested by the Town of Los Gatos (Town). We developed this scope based on the Project’s requirements, plans, specifications, and our experience providing similar services to public agencies.
In recognition of the Town of Los Gatos awarding Haley & Aldrich, Inc. both the Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Management contracts for the Shannon Road Repair Project, we are pleased to apply a 20% discount to our previously proposed not-to-exceed fee for Geotechnical Engineering Services during construction.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Shannon Road Repair Project (Project) involves reconstruction of approximately 1,300 LF of road between Santa Rosa Drive and Diduca Way, including installation of a soldier pile and lagging retaining wall, embankment stabilization, full-depth reclamation of pavement, drainage improvements, guardrail, and associated work. Our firm prepared the original geotechnical design report (dated 7 December 2020), so we are very familiar with the subsurface conditions and the Project’s requirements. Based on this experience, we are uniquely qualified and prepared to serve as the Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GEOR) for the Project during the construction, if selected by the Town.
EXHIBIT A
ITEM NO. 12.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our proposed construction-phase geotechnical services include the following, with clarifying assumptions:
TASK 1 – Review and Comment on Contractor Questions, Submittals & RFIs Haley and Aldrich licensed engineers (Sarah Khosravani, PE, and Chris Hockett, GE) will provide professional oversight and consultation during the pre-construction and construction phases of the Project. We will provide ongoing geotechnical review and consultation services on an as-needed basis, including:
• Responding to up to eight (8) geotechnical-related questions during the bidding phase. • Reviewing and commenting on up to six (6) geotechnical-related submittals (e.g., retaining wall shoring plans, soldier pile and ground anchor submittals, backfill and drainage material submittals, etc.).
• Responding to up to four (4) geotechnical-related Requests for Information (RFIs).
Our scope for reviewing contractor questions, submittals and RFIs is limited to items directly related to the geotechnical aspects of the Project. Review of non-geotechnical submittals or RFIs is excluded.
Additionally, this scope does not include the preparation of design addenda or revisions to plans and specifications.
Task 2 – Onsite Geotechnical Observation and Testing During Construction We will provide geotechnical observation and testing services to: (1) document the contractor’s work complies with the contract documents and geotechnical design recommendations; (2) assess that the contractor’s means and methods are appropriate for site conditions; (3) assist in design modifications if geotechnical conditions differ from those anticipated; and (4) document the geotechnical aspects of construction. The Task 2 base scope includes:
• Observation of Retaining Wall and Soldier Pile Construction and Testing (assuming up to fortyfive (45) full days on site):
- Full-time geotechnical observation during pile drilling and installation. - Full-time observation during ground anchor installation and testing. - Intermittent observation during lagging installation. • General Earthwork and Pavement (assuming up to twenty-two (22) full days on site):
- Intermittent observation of earthwork, including excavation and backfill. - Subgrade approval for foundations and pavement.
- On-call compaction testing and approval of backfill placement and pavement subgrade preparation.
- Subgrade verification and compaction testing for full-depth reclamation of existing AC. • Laboratory Services:
- Laboratory compaction curves (proctor) of the fill materials (per ASTM D-1557). It is assumed that up to three (3) compaction curves will be performed.
The scope of services does not include concrete inspection, preparation of concrete test cylinders, or compression testing of cylinders. If additional laboratory compaction curves or other soil index testing for backfill, subgrade, or import material are required beyond what is included in the base scope, such
ITEM NO. 12.
services will be performed only upon receipt of written authorization and will be billed following the attached Standard Fee Schedule.
We will coordinate our site visits with the Construction Manager (CM) to minimize unproductive time onsite. The levels of effort assumed for geotechnical observation and testing are outlined above and reflected in the attached cost estimate spreadsheet. Any time required beyond the assumed effort, due to the Project schedule, contractor methods, or other factors, will be considered out of scope and provided on a time-and-expense basis in accordance with the attached Standard Fee Schedule.
Task 3 - Meetings, GEOR Letter, and Project Management
Our base scope for professional services under this task includes participation in project meetings, reporting, and overall construction-phase project management support. Specifically, we will:
• Attend pre-construction and weekly construction meetings on an as-needed basis (up to 16 onehour meetings with two team members). • Prepare a final Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GEOR) letter at the close of construction documenting field observations, testing results, and conformance with the geotechnical recommendations.
• Provide ongoing contract administration and management support for this scope of work throughout the Project.
The levels of effort assumed for this task are indicated on the attached cost estimate spreadsheet.
BASIC CHARGES & LIMITATIONS
Based on the scope of work and assumptions outlined in this proposal, together with the attached cost estimation spreadsheet, we initially estimated the cost of our geotechnical services to be approximately $137,587. However, in recognition of the Town of Los Gatos awarding Haley & Aldrich, Inc. both the Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Management contracts for the Shannon Road Repair Project, we are pleased to apply a 20% discount to our previously proposed fee for Geotechnical Engineering Services during construction.
Accordingly, our construction phase geotechnical engineering services will be provided on a time-andmaterials, not-to-exceed basis in accordance with our “Standard Terms and Conditions, 2020” and the attached “Standard Fee Schedule, 2025.” Our not-to-exceed (NTE) budget is $110,500.
An approximate breakdown by task is presented below. All other terms, scope items, and conditions of our original proposal remain unchanged, except as modified herein.
Scope Item Subtotals
Task 1 – Review and Comment on Contractor Questions, Submittals & RFIs $ 4,395 Task 2 – Onsite Geotechnical Observation and Testing During Construction $ 110,802 Task 3 - Meetings, GEOR letter, and Project Management $ 13,125 Reimbursable Expenses $ 9,265
TOTAL: $ 137,587
NTE Budget for Geotechnical Engineering Services
(20% Discount Applied for Award of Both CM and Geo Contracts) $ 110,500
ITEM NO. 12.
The fee estimates provided above and in the attached spreadsheet are based on assumed levels of effort, which we developed assuming a 90-day construction duration and our experience with similar projects. The actual level of effort required for onsite observation and testing will depend on factors beyond our control, including the contractor’s schedule and efficiency, unforeseen subsurface conditions, design changes, retesting due to nonconforming work, and the frequency or duration of project meetings.
Out-of-scope geotechnical services will be performed on a time-and-expense basis in accordance with the attached Standard Fee Schedule. If the construction schedule, contractor methods, or project needs require additional time beyond what has been budgeted, or if consultation or meeting participation exceeds the assumptions outlined in this proposal, we will notify you and request a budget adjustment.
We will not exceed the authorized budget without prior written approval.
Please note that the attached fee estimates are provided for budgeting purposes. Haley & Aldrich reserves the right to assign personnel based on technical requirements, staff availability, and project needs, which may differ from those shown in the fee estimate.
Benefits of Combined Geotechnical and Construction Management Services Haley & Aldrich is also submitting a separate proposal for Construction Management (CM) services for the Project. Should the Town select us for both the CM and Geotechnical scopes, significant added value can be realized through enhanced coordination, more efficient scheduling of field activities and meetings, and streamlined communication between teams. A key advantage of this integrated approach is our ability to assign the same qualified field personnel to perform both geotechnical observations/testing and the technical inspection requirements of the CM scope.
CLOSURE AND AUTHORIZATION
All services provided by Haley & Aldrich represent professional opinions and recommendations based on generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices. This warranty is exclusive and made in lieu of any other warranties, expressed or implied.
This proposal is valid for a period of 60 days from the date of this letter. Suppose acceptance and authorization to proceed are not received within that period. In that case, we reserve the right to renegotiate the estimated costs, schedule for completion, personnel commitments, and overall scope of services. We reserve the right to renegotiate fees for on-site monitoring services as well as those indicated on the “Fee Schedule” for services performed after January 1st, 2026.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to continuing to work with you on this Project. If the scope and fee estimate outlined herein are acceptable, please sign and return a copy of this proposal. Should you have any questions or require further information, please contact us directly.
