4.2. TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
2024-008 HEACOCK STREET SOUTH EXTENSION (CITY PROJECT NO. 8010010) City of Moreno Valley
MARK THOMAS
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Heacock Street is generally classified as a four-lane arterial roadway with a 50-mph design speed between Harley
Knox Boulevard to the south and San Michele Road to
the north with Class II bike lanes along each shoulder, sidewalks, and parkways. Although not currently classified as a truck route, (trucks currently use San Michele Road to Indian Street and Perris Boulevard) trucks will utilize this segment once constructed as a bypass and a T raffic Index (TI) of 12 should be considered which is typical of a truck route. In combination with a higher TI, we understand the need to evaluate multiple pavement sections as R-Values are generally low in this area (between 30 and 40) based and the existing pavement is approximately 4” of AC over 4” CAB based on the 2013 geotechnical investigations completed for this previously. Alternative roadway sections such as pulverization or use of cement treated base could save substantial excavation and costs.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Based upon on our review of the project constraints and available information, we have compiled the following considerations and key challenges necessary to complete this project.
Exhibit 1: Project Constraints Map
Geotechnical investigations must include concrete
pavement options at the San Michele Road to
accommodate airport landslide facility trucks.
Widening will impact the existing earthen trapezoidal
channel southwest of the San Michele Road intersection.
All vertical improvements (street lights, signals, signs) within the Airport Clear Zone must be designed with breakaway
bolts and to shear on impact.
New driveway must be designed to accommodate trucks
during and after construction.
Existing curves are significantly smaller than normal crown requirements for horizontal curves per Riverside County and Caltrans standards.
RCFC & WCD Master Drainage Plans for the Sunnymeade
Moreno area did not include current airport development, the project must include a comprehensive drainage study to analyze the dual 14’x9’ RCB along Perris Valley Channel Lateral B capacity.
Improvements within Perris Valley Channel Lateral B will require 401, 404 and 1602 approvals in addition to an RCFC & WCD encroachment permit.
Project improvements south of the Perris Valley Channel Lateral B will require approvals from Perris.
Harley Knox roundabout was designed to accommodate a
northerly extension. A new connection must include fastest path, path overlap, and truck tracking performance tests to maximize roundabout operations post-construction.

Right-of-Way
As shown on Exhibit 1: Project Constraints Map on the previous page, widening improvements and extending Heacock Street south of the Perris Valley Channel Lateral B includes impacts to the following properties:
As demonstrated in the May 30, 2013 correspondence from the Department of the Air Force included in our appendix, Josh and the City previously circulated concepts for their approval on this project receiving vital feedback on how to streamline their approvals. This team will pick up where we left off from our previous efforts to streamline initial correspondence with MARB and March Inland Port Airport Authority (March JPA) staff.
Drainage
Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District’s (RCFC & WCD) current
Master Drainage Plan (Sunnymeade Moreno MDP) does
not include recent updates associated with redevelopment on the March Air Reserve Base. Josh led efforts in 2013 for the City and developed preliminary drainage analysis as summarized to the right. Over 2,800 cubic feet per
second (CFS) confluences through 3 major reaches at
the Perris Valley Channel (PVC) Lateral B/Heacock Street RCB crossing. We will revisit the previous efforts, update consistent with current and planned upstream land use
and evaluate capacity of this crossing. Previous analysis indicated the dual 14’x9’ wide reinforced concrete
box crossing was insufficient to handle 100 year event
confluences from the three upstream tributaries. This
project must include evaluation of either how to reduce upstream flow rates or improvements to increase hydraulic capacity to the existing crossing.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Through our extensive experience on similar projects and through Josh’s previous experience working with the City and the various stakeholders on Heacock Street, we have identified a project approach that includes what project infrastructure to provide, how to position the City for funding for construction, and project approvals necessary to complete this project.
Develop Project Infrastructure
The following represents key project infrastructure and project elements that will position the City for success through minimizing project costs, helps establish the foundation for a fundable project, and builds off of previous support from surrounding stakeholders.
Provide concrete pavement within the limits of the truck deceleration limits at the San Michele Road intersection.
The existing Heacock Street earthen channel (top width
of 20 feet +/- and depths ranging from 5-6 feet) is
within the ultimate Heacock Street widening limits. It is also sized to accommodate approximately 30% of the
341 CFS expected flow rates. Conversion to a box culvert (approximately 12’ wide x 6’ tall) in lieu of the earthen channel will significantly reduce R/W needed and save
approximately $1M in lieu of moving and widening the
earthen channel to avoid widening improvements.
Use remnant areas created by the project alignment
as a flow through detention basin. Per 2013 MARB
correspondence, these basins must comply with Bird/
Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) guidelines, and
would provide nearly a 20-25% downstream reduction
in drainage facility needs saving nearly $1M in
construction costs.
Incorporation of superelevations in lieu of normal
crowns and evaluation of design speed reductions using
Assembly Bill 43 provisions would greatly minimize the
required acquisition through significant reduction in the horizontal radii saving approximately $500K.
Provide drainage improvements to accommodate
connections to existing dual 24” RCP and 30” RCP MARB
outlets into project drainage.
Ideally, hydrology and hydraulics will support extension of existing dual 14’ wide x 9’ high RCB, however project may need to consider a single span bridge or RCB
replacement to increase hydraulic capacity.
Use National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP) 672 guidance and performance tests (path
overlap, fastest path, truck turning) to roundabout
connection and optimize Heacock Street operations/safety. 1 2

Position for Grant Funding
The Project has multiple elements that can be leveraged to secure grant funding for construction. Mark Thomas has extensive experience securing competitive funding for similar projects and we have identified the strategy below.
Grant Programs that Aligns with Project Elements
Mark Thomas has identified the following grant programs we feel can help the City position to help secure construction funding. Our goal is to maximize outside funding for this project, including any required funding match. • Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP): Project provides freight connectivity and reduced travel times for distribution centers/warehousing and the I-215 freight corridor. Including zero emission vehicle infrastructure in the City will increase competitiveness.
• Measure A Regional Arterial Program (MARA): Constructing a four-lane arterial connection to Harley Knox Boulevard will meet eligibility requirements for RCTC’s program to improve the County’s arterial network. • RCFC & WCD Area Drainage Plan Fees: Working with RCFC & WCD to develop an updated hydrology/hydraulic analysis of the base and corresponding Master Drainage Plan (MDP) facilities and installation of proposed facilities will allow the City to use County Area Drainage Plan fees for proposed drainage infrastructure. • Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE): The Project will benefit neighboring disadvantaged communities by providing accessibility to economic opportunity and improve air quality. The improvements will also address climate resiliency through drainage improvements and lowering vehicle emissions.
• Active Transportation Program (ATP) / State Senate Bill 821 (SB 821): Installation of bikeways along Heacock Street and the Class I trail along the south side of PVC Lateral B would greatly enhance connectivity in existing bike networks between Perris and Moreno Valley. These improvements would be eligible for both grant programs while increasing support from the communities, bicycle advocacy groups and the City of Perris.
MARB is a military reserve base that
provides intermodal opportunities
for distribution centers in the City
and Perris.
MARB onsite and adjacent freight
businesses require efficient truck
access to I-215.
The existing roadway network has
longer trip distances that can be
reduced to lower vehicle miles
traveled.
Providing active transportation
facilities along the RCFC WCD will
increase regional connectivity and
mode shift.
Adjacent census tracts in the City
are identified as disadvantaged
communities with poor air quality.

OBTAIN PROJECT APPROVALS
After review of the surrounding agencies/stakeholders, we have identified the following approvals/project permits necessary to construct project improvements, and recommendations for CEQA/NEPA compliance.
Regulatory Agencies:
These agencies will require coordination to obtain the following regulatory permits and approvals prior to construction. • RCTC/RCA: Prior to submitting permit applications to agencies below, the City must schedule a pre-permit meeting with all agencies through RCTC.
• USACE: Clean Water Act Section 404
(PVC Lateral B improvements).
• SWRCB: Clean Water Act Section 401
(PVC Lateral B improvements).
• CDFW: California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement
(PVC Lateral B Improvements).
• USFWS: Section 7/Section 10 Endangered Species Act consultation and Incidental T ake Permit issuance (if necessary).
Agencies with Jurisdiction:
These agencies are stakeholders that any work within their jurisdiction shall be per their design guidelines and will require permits/property acquisition. • RCFC & WCD: Encroachment permit for all work within PVC Lateral B and cooperative agreement for all MDP facilities built to be maintained/owned by RCFC & WCD.
• City of Perris: Encroachment permit and use of their design standards for all improvements to Heacock Street south of PVC Channel Lateral B.
• MARB / Inland Port Airport Authority: Approvals for
infrastructure located within Airport Clear Zone and to acquire any property rights needed for the Project.

CEQA Considerations
Project improvements are consistent with Moreno Valley’s general plan and SCAG regional models making this
Project a viable candidate for exemption through CEQA
Guidelines § 15183. While an initial study could be used, the impacts of this project are few, and an initial study is likely unnecessary. We will provide a technical memorandum
with key points from technical studies supporting the
findings. This approach would save the City several months of public circulation and documentation.
NEPA Considerations
With no federal funding identified currently, there is no nexus to create a lead agency to support NEPA documentation.
NEPA requirements differ based on lead agency
preferences. T echnical studies, tribal consultation and historic preservation, and an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be performed in accordance with CWA Section 404 and Rivers and Harbors Act (USACE approvals), however should federal grant funds be identified we can pivot with the City to add to NEPA studies and documentation to support funding lead agencies needs.
Technical Studies
Include biological resources assessment, wetland delineation, traffic operations and VMT, local/regional hydrology and hydraulics, cultural/historical including tribal consultations, air quality/ghg, and noise. 2024-008 HEACOCK STREET SOUTH EXTENSION (CITY PROJECT NO. 8010010) City of Moreno Valley

MANAGEMENT APPROACH
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Our team believes that strong, proactive project management is key to successful project delivery, and it starts with the project manager. Josh Cosper will lead the Mark Thomas team and will ensure that we function as a true extension of City staff. He has been very successful with the following approach to multi-modal projects where its critical to balance input from the public with challenging geometric constraints for dozens of public agencies throughout Southern California, including over 10 projects in your City:
1. Early Risk Identification: This is more than the development of a matrix, its fleshing out risk at the front end to allow more design flexibility and eliminate unforeseen costs or delays during design development. We have already identified several specialized guidelines (Airport Clear Zone, BASH, MARB previous identified concerns in 2013), as well as drainage and geometric design elements from his previous experience working with the City on the project. Backing this up with detailed research and coordination with utilities and right-of-way prior to concept development to confirm we avoid costly right-of-way and utility impacts. His approach also includes constant constructability reviews and site walks from conception to final submittal so no stone is unturned to minimize risk to the project.
2. Well Rounded and Highly Technical: Throughout Josh’s 20 years of experience, he has delivered over fifty similar multi-modal roadway improvement projects, nearly 50 miles in storm drain and low impact development infrastructure and was the program management lead for dozens of transportation corridor projects with confined right-of-way and utilities. This experience gives him a big picture point of view for meeting project goals and critical milestones, with the ability to stay in the weeds to ensure high quality deliverables, ample detail is provided in the plans and specifications, and identification cost effective solutions to constraints and project challenges.
3. Creativity and Innovation: There is no black and white solution to constraints, and often it’s balancing a combination of different solutions to present to clients with our recommendation and pro’s/con’s/costs for consensus. Its also identifying atypical and creative solutions that often turn out best. We have outlined several concepts that would save significant construction costs, but also improvements and ideas to enhance buy in from the City of Perris and RCFC & WCD. Ask any of the references provided, this is where Josh and Mark Thomas shine as we have a reputation of identifying cost and time saving outside of the box solutions for out clients.
4. Pro-Active Communication: We have a poster in each of our office conference rooms with the title “Client Satisfaction”. Most of this philosophy starts with ensuring we guide the process, don’t let the project guide you. Immediate responses to inquiries, constant communication, reigning in stakeholders and incorporating their input for their buy-in and approvals, always set expectations, and provide regular updates are pillars of his approach. This includes providing solutions when presenting problems. He has a proven reputation for proactive leadership.
CONTINUING PREVIOUS MOMENTUM
Our team’s previous experience on this project (Josh as the Project Manager and Mark T eague as the Environmental Lead through concept development and feasibility), combined with our current efforts leading the Harley Knox Boulevard / Interstate 215 Interchange Improvements Project for the City of Perris, our team is posed to hit the ground running.

You will see in our schedule, we will leverage
the following to engage stakeholders for
buy-in within the first 120 days after Notice
to Proceed is issued by the City:
1. Upon updating initial concepts
based on new topographic and
utility conditions, re-engage our 2013
correspondence with MARB through
work shops to illustrate how their
concerns are mitigated with updated
concepts. March JPA should be
included in this correspondence as well.
2. With our traffic analysis and development
of the Harley Knox Boulevard interchange
modifications, we are well aware of the
City of Perris’ concerns. Their focus will be
on minimizing their costs and ensuring
the new connection to the roundabout
does not decrease the level of service
and operations.
3. Q3 and Josh have long standing
working relationships with RCFC &
WCD on obtaining MDP approvals. We
must engage their planning group to
lock in ADP Fee contributions. Including
early correspondence with their permits

group will lock in design and maintenance concerns before PA&ED completion which will stream line right-of-way acquisition efforts and the permit/cooperative agreement process.
BUDGET & QUALITY
We plan our work using a resource loaded schedule through our Deltek accounting software, monitor the project progress, and track the planned budget vs. actuals, and we report this to the City on a monthly basis. We review and report any variations along with a corrective action plan. Construction estimates are derived using a combination of recently completed bids within the local area, Caltrans unit cost database, City historical information, and RS Means available information adjusted for economies of scale and escalation. Lastly, we are committed to quality starting with the use of Bluebeam Software, Inc. as the primary source for QA/QC reviews. Key staff are assigned for each review level with shared access. This streamlines multiple reviews and provides a comprehensive product we provide to the clients to verify QC was completed.

PROJECT WORK PLAN & DELIVERABLES
Mark Thomas brings significant experience in delivering roadway/drainage improvement projects for local agencies. We have outlined the following Project Work Plan with related Deliverables and have included a more comprehensive scope of services in the appendices section corresponding to each of the tasks and deliverables included below. This comprehensive approach is tried and tested as we have refined it through dozens of similar roadway/drainage improvement projects for local agencies throughout Southern California. Most recently, a very similar approach was utilized on our McKinley Street Grade Separation Project in Corona and Limonite Avenue Gap Closure in Eastvale, both of which were transportation improvement projects involving multi-jurisdictional approvals with preliminary design, NEPA/CEQA compliance, final design, and bidding/construction support milestones. This approach allows granularity/transparency for both our clients and us to monitor schedule and budget, while also providing natural check points that create flexibility to pivot on key decisions that can either save time through streamlining remaining activities or costs through reassessing project improvements and needs.

Mark Thomas is providing planning and final design for the gap closure of Limonite Avenue. The project includes a Class I trail system along the new bridge crossing the Cucamonga Creek along Limonite Avenue with viewpoint plazas, cool down features, and substantial site amenities. Mark Thomas is also leading final design efforts closing the gap in the SCE regional trail system by constructing Class I paths and a new prefabricated pedestrian/bicycle bridge crossing the Cucamonga Creek. The project includes coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to secure MS 404/408 approvals and the development of a CEQA-compliant environmental document for all project improvements. Original project concepts included a six-lane arterial facility with Class II bike lane facilities, however, Mark Thomas developed a design that reduced the roadway width and resulted in over $7M in savings to construction costs. The project is currently under construction and is anticipated to be fully constructed by August 2024. In addition to design services, Mark Thomas prepared the successful $9.5M LPP grant application for the project. We demonstrated how constructing the project reduces VMT and provides new multi-modal connections to jobs. We have also assisted the City in the management of LPP funds.

This project includes the rehabilitation and widening of the existing two-lane Nuevo Road Bridge. The proposed Nuevo Road Bridge will be widened to four-lanes with connecting approach roadways that will also be widened to accommodate the bridge widening. The existing Nuevo Road Bridge is approximately 254.6 feet long and 29’-10” wide. The bridge was originally built in 1956 and the County of Riverside and Caltrans have determined that there is a significant need for bridge improvements on the existing Nuevo Road Bridge over San Jacinto River. The bridge is listed in the Federal Eligible Bridge List (EBL) with a Sufficiency Rating (SR) of 73.2 according to the Bridge Inspection Report prepared by Caltrans. This bridge has been flagged Structurally Deficient (SD) and Functionally Obsolete (FO). Since the bridge has SR lower than 80, the bridge is eligible for major rehabilitation in accordance with the HBP guidelines. Mark Thomas is providing project approval/environmental documentation, PS&E, and construction bidding support for this project located in Riverside County, approximately 1.2 miles west of Lakeview Avenue. Specific scope of services includes bridge and roadway design, traffic studies, utility research and base mapping, obtaining encroachment permits, surveying and right-of-way mapping, geotechnical engineering, hydrology and hydraulics, and environmental studies and documentation. This is primarily funded by Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Funds and will follow the process and procedures under Caltrans Office of Local Programs.

Task 3.3 – Technical Analysis
The following technical studies are included to sup port the CEQA Initial Study and NEPA Environmental Assessment as appendices:
• Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis : This includes preparation of an air quality, ener gy, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis to evaluate potential impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project. The analysis will be consistent w ith the current methodology of the South Coast Air Quality Management City (South Coast AQMD). Modeling of criteria air pollutant emissions and GHG emissions will be conducted using the latest California Emissions Est imator Model (CalEEMod). Mitigation measures to red uce potential impacts will be incorporated, as needed, to reduce potentially significant impacts of the project. • Noise : This includes preparation of a noise and vibration technical analyses to support the City of Moreno Valley in relation to the analysis for the Heacock Street South Extension Project. The technical noise impact analysis will discuss relevant standards and criteria for no ise exposure, including those in the March Air Rese rve Base / Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, Ci ty of Moreno Valley General Plan Noise Element, and Municipal Code. The results of this analysis will b e summarized in the environmental document prepared for the proposed project, and modeling will be provided in an appendix. • Biological Resources Survey : This includes research of available information, including relevant literature, databases, agency web sites, various previously com pleted reports and management plans, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, maps, aerial imager y from public domain sources, and in-house records to: 1) assess habitats, special-status plant and wildlife species, jurisdictional waters, critical habitats, and wildlife corridors that may occur in and near the project si te, and 2) identify local or regional plans, polici es, and regulations that may apply to the project.
Following the literature review, this team will con duct a reconnaissance-level biological survey on th e project site and a 500-foot zone out from the project site. This survey area is referred to as the Biological Study Area (BSA). The survey will include the following:

• Biological Resources Survey Report/Natural Environm ental Study (NES) : Following completion of the reconnaissance-level biological surveys, this team will prepare a biological resources evaluation report that will:
1) summarize existing conditions; 2) assess the pot ential presence of sensitive biological resources; 3) analyze the potential impacts on those resources from proje ct development; 4) recommend, as appropriate, best management practices (BMPs), avoidance and protecti on measures, and mitigation measures to avoid, eliminate and/or reduce environmental impacts to le ss than significant levels; and 5) an identificatio n of biological permits or approvals that the project may need. The report will include: 1) methods and results of the literature review and field surveys; 2) figures dep icting the size and location of plant communities a nd other sensitive biological resources; 3) a complete flora and fauna compendium; and 4) site photographs. • Biological Assessment : Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires federal agencies to consult with the USFWS to ensure that the activities they authorize, fund, or carry out do not jeopardize the continued existence of federally protected species or their critical habitats. A search of the USFWS’s Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) System revealed the potential for eleven federally listed species to occur in the project vicinity. If suitable habitat and/or individuals of these species are found to have the potential to be impacted by the proposed project, then a biological assessment (BA) will need to be prepared. Data collected durin g the biological resource survey report preparation will be utilized to draft a BA. The BA will be prepared in accordance with the National Marine Fisheries Service and US F ish and Wildlife Service Section 7 Consultation Han dbook.
Potential impacts to listed species, avoidance and minimization measures taken to reduce or eliminate those potential impacts, and all conservation measures proposed to offset unavoidable impacts to protected species will be incorporated. The draft version of the BA w ill be submitted to the City for review. Comments a nd edits will be considered, and the final version of the BA will be prepared for submittal to facilitate consu ltation with the USFWS for any federal authorization (e.g., 404 permit). In the event a project does not require fe deral authorization, consultation with the USFWS will need to be completed under Section 10 of the ESA and utilizing the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) process.
• Jurisdictional Delineation Survey: This team will conduct a formal jurisdictional delineation survey on the project site according to current U.S. Army Corps of Engine ers (USACE) and California Department of Fish and W ildlife (CDFW) guidelines. The survey will record: 1) wetland hydrology, hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and signs of an ordinary high-water mark (OHWM); 2) the prese nce of a well-defined bed and bank; 3) areas of wat er flow; and 4) vegetation within and along the jurisd ictional areas. Width and length measurements of US ACE, RWQCB, and CDFW jurisdictional areas will be deline ated in the field using a hand-held GPS unit, 100-m eter measuring tape, and aerial imagery. Following field mapping, Measurements will occur based on ArcGIS f iles including acreages of each agency’s jurisdiction.
• Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey Technical Report : The survey is required by the City of Moreno Valley, as lead agency for the project, with possible federal revie w by the March Air Reserve Base and/or the March Jo int Powers Authority. Therefore, the study will be cond ucted in accordance with the California Environment al Quality Act (CEQA) and the requirements of the Secretary of Interior Standards and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended.
