4.5 Subcontracting or Assignment. The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Consultant , its principals and employees were a substantial inducement for City to enter into this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
5.1 Insurance Coverages.

5.2 Indemnification.
(a) General Obligations. Except as set forth for Design Professionals below, Consultant agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnitee” and collectively, “Indemnitees”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, whether actual or threatened, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities (herein “Claims or Liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or City arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable (each an “ Indemnitor” and collectively, “Indemnitors”), or arising from Indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
1) Consultant will defend any action or actions filed or threatened in connection with any such Claims or Liabilities, or at option of Indemnitee(s) will reimburse and pay for all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee(s) in connection therewith; and, 2) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against Indemnitee(s) for any such Claims or Liabilities, and will save and hold Indemnitee(s) harmless therefrom. (b) Further Provisions. The indemnity obligation herein shall be binding on successors, assigns and heirs of Consultant and shall survive termination of this Agreement. Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements as provided herein with its subcontractors, and if Consultant fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefor. Failure of City and/or City Parties (collectively “City” for solely this Section 5. 2(b)) to monitor compliance with any of the indemnification provisions herein shall not be a waiver hereof. The indemnification provisions herein do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful misconduct, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnification provided herein includes Claims or Liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Indemnitors in the performance of professional services hereunder. Payment of invoices by City is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnity obligation herein. In the event of any dispute between Consultant and City, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, Consultant will be obligated to pay for City’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating City as solely negligent or responsible for willful misconduct. Consultant will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. (c) Pursuant to the full language of California Civil Code §2782, and only if Consultant qualifies as a D esign Professional , Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its employees or agents in the performance of services under this contract, but this indemnity does not apply to liability for damages arising from the sole negligence, active negligence, or willful acts of the City; and does not apply to any passive negligence of the City unless caused at least in part by the Consultant. The City agrees that in no event shall the cost to defend charged to the Consultant exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.
This duty to indemnify shall not be waived or modified by contractual agreement or acts of the parties.
5.3 Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitees against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from , whether actual or threatened, any and all Claims and Liabilities, consistent with all obligations provided for in this Section
5.3, to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Indemnitors in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents and materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom.

6.3 Confidentiality and Release of Information. All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in its performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant.

If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct. As concerning, r egarding or related to, in any way, this Agreement and the work performed thereunder: a) Consultant shall immediately notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party; b) City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding; and, c) Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant , however, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Riverside, State of California.
7.2 Suspension, or Termination, Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in Section
7.4 for termination for cause. City reserves the right to terminate or suspend this Agreement, or any portion hereof, at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, upon ten (10) days’ notice to Consultant, except that where termination or suspension is due to the fault of Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as determined by City . Upon receipt of any notice of termination or suspension, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder , unless the notice provides otherwise, or except such as specifically approved by City . Upon submittal of an invoice consistent with Section 2. 2, Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination or suspension and for any services authorized by City thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation, or such a s may be approved by City, except as provided in Section 7.5. In event of termination, or suspension, without cause pursuant to this Section, there is no need to provide opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.3.
7.3 Default of Consultant and Opportunity to Cure. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively ten (10) days, but may be extended, or reduced, if circumstances warrant, as determined by City. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices , without liability for interest. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default by conclusion of noticed timeframe , City may immediately both terminate this Agreement with notice to Consultant as well as pursue the remedy in Section 7.4, without prejudice to any other remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement . Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Consultant ’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City ’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.4 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such dama ges), and City may withhold any payments to Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed City therefor.
7.5 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.6 Waiver. Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non- compliance with any requirement of this Agreement imposes no additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder. Payment to Consultant for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Consultant.
7.7 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
7.8 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code s ections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.9 Attorneys’ Fees. If either Party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys ’ fees. Attorneys’ fees shall include attorneys ’ fees on any appeal, and a Party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, consultants’ fees, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. Such fees and costs shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

SUBJECT: Qualifications for Consultant Services for a Storm Drain Master Plan Dear Mr. Fohrman,
RICK Engineering Company (RICK) is pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications to prepare the City of Murrieta’s Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP). RICK has supported the City for many years, and our team brings unmatched familiarity with local drainage issues, regional hydrology, and the infrastructure needs of rapidly developing communities across Southwest Riverside County.
Our approach aligns directly with the RFQ requirements and emphasizes clear communication, defensible analysis, and practical implementation. As a true one-stop-shop, RICK will complete all GIS, modeling, asset verification, and QA/QC in-house, ensuring consistency, reducing coordination cost, and avoiding the fragmented subcontracting approach. This integrated structure provides Murrieta with a streamlined delivery team and a single point of accountability throughout the project.
Our proposed Implementation Approach focuses on:
• A model-ready GIS inventory with confidence tracking to support long-term maintenance and lifecycle asset management
• A combined 1D/2D hydrologic and hydraulic model to capture system performance, overland flow, and provide visual results that significantly improve the communication value of the model results • A prioritized, funding-focused CIP program aligned with regional and state grant opportunities • A web-based GIS viewer so City staff can easily access, visualize, and communicate SDMP results RICK Engineering Company is a California corporation located at 5620 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92110. We have reviewed and acknowledge Addenda 1, 2, and 3 posted on PlanetBids.
Please contact Andrew Thies at (619) 688-1454 [email protected] or Brendan Hastie, P.E. at (619) 204-5979 [email protected] with any questions.

RICK Engineering Company (RICK) is a California-based civil engineering and water resources firm with over two decades of experience preparing Storm Drain Master Plans, drainage studies, and GIS-based infrastructure inventories for jurisdictions throughout the region. Our portfolio includes work in Menifee, Paso Robles, Tustin, San Marcos, Carlsbad, Lemon Grove, and the City and County of San Diego, projects similar in scope and complexity to the City of Murrieta’s Storm Drain Master Plan. These efforts, shown on the accompanying Experience Map, demonstrate our ability to support municipalities with basin planning, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, GIS modernization, and CIP development.
RICK offers the City a team that is already familiar with Murrieta’s drainage system, data environment, and local hydrology.
Our previous support to the City positions us to begin work efficiently, reduce onboarding time, and focus on the technical components that will have the greatest long-term value. Because our hydrology, hydraulics, GIS, asset management, and CIP specialists work together in-house, all inventory development, modeling, QA/QC, and analysis for this project will be performed internally. This integrated approach ensures consistency, predictable schedules, and high-quality technical review without reliance on external subconsultants.
Our qualifications align directly with the needs of this SDMP. RICK has extensive experience developing model- ready drainage inventories with confidence tracking; completing 1D/2D hydrologic and hydraulic models for citywide infrastructure systems; identifying and sizing systemwide deficiencies; preparing funding-focused CIP recommendations; and delivering GIS-centered tools that help City staff maintain, update, and communicate drainage information effectively.
These capabilities support the City’s goals for an implementable, technically defensible, and easily maintainable Storm Drain Master Plan completed in a timely manner.
RICK is committed to continuing our partnership with the City of Murrieta by delivering an SDMP that provides clear insight into system performance, practical recommendations, and tools to support long-term infrastructure planning and funding.

5 We understand the importance of providing close individual attention to each project and to working within the constraints of time and budget. Our management approach is based on years of successful project experience on similar projects in the region and for the City. Our approach will be based on five critical elements and continuous improvement:
Communication and Coordination
Communication and coordination with City staff will be
key in meeting the City’s project goals. The success
of our project performance is a result of our close
communication and coordination with our public agency
clients. We have specific protocols to ensure the chain of communication between the City, the team, cooperating
public agencies, and the project stakeholders, is
established early and actively maintained throughout the project life cycle. In his role as Project Manager, Andrew Thies, CFM, will be responsible for establishing and
maintaining all project management procedures. Principal- in-Charge, Brendan Hastie, PE, LEED AP, will support
Andrew, as needed, in implementing our established
procedures and providing any needed resources to the
project.
Project Planning, Scheduling, and Schedule
Reporting Software
Detailed planning at the beginning of the project is
essential to reduce risk, ensure quality, and maintain
schedule and budget. As part of our proven planning
and scheduling practice, Andrew will formalize a Work
Plan at the outset of the project. This Work Plan will
include project scope tasks, budgets, and deliverables
as well as the responsible parties for each item. In
addition to delivering it to the City, Andrew will distribute and review the Work Plan with team members to ensure
understanding and compliance. He will create a detailed schedule using Microsoft Project to organize the overall project tasks and budget and track actual versus
scheduled work and costs. The detailed Microsoft Project schedule will be shared during the kick-off meeting.
Cost Control
Successful project management requires accommodating
project adjustments while maintaining budget and
schedule. Andrew will continuously monitor the activities of the project team, tracking actual progress versus
budgeted costs. Should deviations occur, he will take
immediate corrective action. To facilitate this effort, RICK will use Deltek Advantage to track expenditures,
including both labor and direct costs, on a weekly and
long-term basis. Up-to-date information is available to the Project Manager at all times, and progress reports will be included with each monthly invoice for City review and
approval.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
RICK promotes a continuous emphasis and commitment
to quality control through all phases of its projects. These practice standards must conform to the expectations of
our clients, the engineering industry, public agencies, and the community. This is facilitated by attention to
the company’s manual on quality control standards,
periodic quality control seminars, and staff performance reviews throughout the company. These measures are
applied to all levels of work, including project scheduling, documentation, plan preparation, and field survey.
For this project, Quality Control Review will not only be a continuous effort led by our Project Manager and design team, but assured by Venkat Gummadi, PE, QSD/P,
CPESC, our QA/QC Manager, throughout the project
duration. By using this process, all deliverables will be subject to internal reviews prior to submittal to the City.

hydrologic and hydraulic modeling consistent
with RCFC&WCD methodologies. Extensive
GIS data development was performed including
digitizing as-builts, correcting connectivity, and
verifying field data that enabled the production
of an accurate, hydraulically linked system.
The model identified capacity deficiencies,
informed recommended improvements, and
defined regional opportunities for multi-benefit
(flood control/water quality) projects.
Coordination with RCFC&WCD ensured
consistency with City and County standards,
region-specific design criteria, and regional
drainage plans. Recommendations were
bundled into implementable projects with
preliminary cost estimates, supporting both
5-year and 20-year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) planning. All deliverables were
provided through an interactive, GIS-centered
web application, allowing the City to visualize
existing conditions, proposed improvements,
and project priorities for long-term stormwater
infrastructure management.
RICK is assisting the City of Tustin in preparing a comprehensive Storm Drain Master Plan to analyze the City’s existing drainage infrastructure. The effort requires the development of a city-wide GIS inventory of drainage facilities for both City- and County-owned facilities. A standardized GIS data schema, developed with City staff input, was created that ensures consistency across the municipalities in the region.
Building on verified inventory data, RICK is developing an inspection prioritization matrix that considers facility type, age, size, and location to guide planned CCTV inspections and targeted field verification.
The project will result in a fully connected GIS storm drain network, including inventory confidence and condition assessment mapping, to identify areas requiring additional inspection or field verification.
Once the system is fully connected, a dual-drainage hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model will identify deficiencies under existing and future build-out conditions for the 2-, 10-, 25, and 100-year storm events. Model results, combined with inspection findings, will inform development of future CIP projects. The team will also explore funding strategies and grant opportunities to support implementation and ensure long-term system resilience.

10 CITY OF CARLSBAD: 1635 FARADAY AVENUE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008 Drainage Master Plan Update: 2024
RICK prepared a citywide DMP to
assess existing drainage deficiencies
in the City’s infrastructure and provide
recommendations to improve the
stormwater conveyance system.
Recommendations focused on large-scale
storm drain CIP projects, and potential
regional improvements opportunities for
stormwater detention and water quality.
A fiscal & fee analysis was also prepared to inform revisions to the City’s existing development impact fee program.
RICK assessed drainage components by creating detailed H&H models using high-resolution geospatial datasets. The drainage analysis focused on the public drainage infrastructure system, including pipes, culverts, open channels, and inlets. Development of detailed H&H models using a dual drainage approach to estimate 1D conveyance capacity of surface and subsurface systems for the 2, 10, and 100-Year (24-Hour) storm events. A 2D model approach was performed at drainage “hot spot” locations and regions with very flat topography to create a detailed visual representation of surface flow routing, split flow conditions, surface storage, and flow attenuation within areas of concern.

CITY OF LEMON GROVE: 3232 MAIN STREET LEMON GROVE, CA 91945 Drainage Master Plan: 2020
RICK assisted the City in successfully
leveraging Senate Bill 1 (SB1) funding to
address sinkholes and failing infrastructure
caused by deteriorating CMP storm drains
and recurring flooded areas, in order to
support the planning, design, funding, and
implementation of future CIP projects.
RICK assessed the drainage components of
the DMP by utilizing high-resolution spatial
datasets to generate detailed H&H models. A holistic modeling program was used to prepare models for multiple storm events for over five square miles of the City. The models used a dual drainage approach, which allowed for dynamic interaction between the 2D surface routing, storage, detention (above and below ground), and 1D pipe flow, to provide a finely detailed model of the study areas drainage infrastructure.
The project included identifying areas for potential future projects to provide detention and/or water quality benefits. The City’s CMP storm drains were graded based on a rating system that assigned each pipe with a repair priority and repair techniques were recommended for each length of pipe. The comprehensive assessments of the network resulted in a list of prioritized, site-specific, bundled, implementation-ready projects for City officials to reference in order to advance the watershed management goals of the City.

11. Implementation Approach
RICK’s approach is centered on developing a Storm
Drain Master Plan that is directly usable for day-to-day public works decision-making, CIP planning, development review, and maintenance strategy. Because our team has
supported the City of Murrieta across drainage, mapping, and capital planning efforts, and recently delivered a
comparable citywide SDMP for a neighboring Inland
Empire jurisdiction, RICK begin with a clear understanding of regional hydrology, ADP/MDP context, maintenance
practices, and City expectations. This reduces project
startup time, avoids unnecessary rework, and supports
efficient, accurate progress toward City goals.
RICK will deliver:
• A City-maintainable GIS drainage inventory
• A calibrated, transparent hydrologic and hydraulic
model that is RCFC & WCD compliant
• A defensible and fundable CIP prioritized for maximum community benefit
• A Web GIS Viewer and staff training to ensure the
SDMP remains a living, updateable system
This ensures the City receives a plan that supports
implementation, not just documentation.
14 TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our team will manage this project as an extension of
City staff, emphasizing predictable communication, clear decision-making, and proactive issue resolution.
1.1 Kick-Off Meeting
RICK will conduct a kickoff meeting with City staff at Notice to Proceed to refine goals, confirm data availability, align communication protocols, and finalize the Project Work
Plan with milestones and review cycles.
1.2 Progress Meetings
RICK will conduct regular project progress meetings (virtual or in-person) with City staff to maintain alignment and make timely decisions regarding modeling assumptions,
data needs, CIP prioritization, and public communication materials. Assumes up to nine meetings.
1.3 Agendas and Meeting Materials
Agendas will be distributed at least one business day prior, and meeting summaries with action items will be provided within five business days.
1.4 Public and Council Meetings
RICK will assist and participate in public, commission, and City Council presentations, providing maps, graphics, exhibits, and speaking support to communicate project
outcomes. Assumes up to two meetings.
1.5 Project Tracking and File Management
Monthly progress memorandums, schedule updates, and
invoicing will be provided. All project data, models, GIS files, and supporting documentation will be maintained in a clear directory structure accessible to the City.
1.6 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
QA/QC reviews will be conducted prior to each City
submittal to ensure consistency across GIS inventory,
model conditions, cost estimates, and CIP prioritizations.
Deliverables:
• Project Work Plan and Schedule
• Kick-Off Meeting Materials and Summary
• Progress Meeting Agendas and Minutes
• Monthly Progress Memoranda and Invoices
• QA/QC Review Log (GIS, H&H, and CIP deliverables)
• Public/Council Presentation Support Materials
City Benefits:
• No learning curve: Our long history with Murrieta
eliminates onboarding delays.
• Low City workload: RICK structures communication
and reviews to minimize staff burden.
• Predictability: Transparent schedule and progress
reporting prevents surprises.
• Confidence in outcomes: Built-in QA/QC ensures a
consistent, defensible Plan.
• Better communication to leadership and public: Clear
maps and briefing materials support approvals and
project funding discussions.
TASK 2: RESEARCH, DATA COLLECTION,
AND COMPILATION
This task develops the verified drainage system inventory forming the analytical foundation for hydrology, hydraulics, and CIP development. Murrieta’s system, consisting of
approximately 5,600 pipe and channel segments (≈ 340,000 LF) and 4,000 associated structures, spans multiple ADP basins including Warm Springs, Cole Canyon, and Murrieta Creek. Our approach emphasizes confidence tracking,
prioritization of high-consequence assets, and creation of a model-ready, maintainable GIS dataset that supports future City updates and long-term asset management.
2.1 Compile Available Drainage System Data
RICK will compile available information including ADP/MDP maps, as-built drawings, FEMA mapping, General Plan
land use data, USGS soils and topography, aerial imagery, and existing City GIS layers to establish a unified baseline dataset. Data will be referenced and stored in a format compatible with the City’s GIS environment, including
standardized feature classes, domains, and metadata.
Data sources will include the RCFC&WCD ADPs (Warm
Springs, Santa Gertrudis, and Murrieta Creek), historical master plan data, FEMA FIRM layers, and the City’s GIS
and CAD records. Each dataset will be cataloged with
source date and reliability rating to initiate Confidence Level tracking.
2.2 Existing Infrastructure Digitization and As-Built
Verification
RICK understands the importance of compiling accurate
data for the success of the SDMP project. After a data
request was submitted, the City stated it does not maintain an existing spatial dataset for the City’s storm drain and MS4 features. Through review of publicly available data obtained through City of Murrieta ArcGIS online portal, RICK was able to locate preliminary storm drain infrastructure spatial data that will be leveraged during the digitization efforts. RICK will compile and digitize existing record plans and as-builts to compliment existing data and produce a spatially-connected dataset of the City’s existing drainage infrastructure. Based on responses from the City, an
estimated 90 percent of the system will have available record plans. The digitization efforts will focus on both spatial and non-spatial (geometry, material, size, etc.) data gathered from review of the provided record documents. Datasets
15 will be cataloged with feature source, confidence, as-built date, datum, and other fields as requested through close coordination with City staff and regional partners to ensure compatibility with existing data systems. Digitization efforts will be focused on critical, large diameter infrastructure (36 inches and greater), and facilities with slopes less than 1.0 percent, as presented in available data compiled by RICK.
Assumptions regarding facility depth and invert elevations may be made for smaller diameter facilities with slopes greater than 2.0 percent.
2.3 Identify Critical Missing or Incorrect Data
Based on responses from the City, an estimated 10 percent of the system is missing record plan information, so
identifying crucial facilities lacking appropriate data will be instrumental to project success. RICK will identify missing pipe sizes, invert elevations, materials, and connectivity issues and document each in a Data Gap Matrix that clearly indicates where supplemental research or verification may be warranted. This matrix becomes a communication tool
for both modeling and future asset management planning.
Each data gap will be recorded in a Data Gap Matrix linking specific asset IDs to missing attributes (size, invert, material) and proposed verification method (desktop, field, CCTV).
2.4 Identify Missing Infrastructure
RICK will use aerial imagery, street-level review, and
network tracing to confirm system connectivity and identify unmapped or undocumented storm drain infrastructure
required to complete the system record. Missing or uncertain features will be flagged for classification under Confidence Level ratings.
The team will leverage drainage boundary tracing in GIS to locate discontinuities between mapped and inferred
systems, particularly at jurisdictional interfaces with RCFC&WCD facilities and Caltrans rights-of-way.
2.5 As-Built Verification and Confidence-Based Field
Validation
RICK will leverage drainage boundary tracing in GIS to locate discontinuities between mapped and inferred systems,
particularly at jurisdictional interfaces with RCFC&WCD facilities and Caltrans rights-of-way.
All verified assets will be assigned a Confidence Level (High, Moderate, Low) within the GIS schema, based on source
and verification type (e.g., field-measured, record plan, inferred). These fields, Spatial Source, Spatial Confidence, and Attribute Confidence, allow City staff to visualize data reliability directly within ArcGIS (assumes review of 150 As- Built Plan Sheets).
Field verification efforts are limited to the activities defined in the Priority Matrix and are capped at up to ten (10) field- verification days unless otherwise authorized by the City.
CCTV inspection is considered an optional, City-approved task and will only be performed if directed; for budgeting purposes, we have assumed up to ten (10) days of on-
call CCTV support through RICK’s established inspection partner.
2.6 Compile GIS Data and Assemble Inventory
Database
Following priority verification, the GIS inventory will be updated to a Model-Ready condition, meaning:
• Network connectivity is complete
• Backbone conveyance geometry and elevations are
verified
• Confidence Levels are assigned and documented for
all features
Once these updates are complete, the drainage GIS will
be formally designated Model-Ready, meaning the system
reflects verified conveyance pathways, elevations, and data confidence appropriate for hydraulic evaluation.
This verified database will then integrate directly with the Task 3 PCSWMM hydrologic and hydraulic model, helping
ensure that modeling results represent the built environment rather than inferred or assumed conditions.
Deliverables:
• Consolidated drainage data library
• Data Gap Matrix identifying missing or uncertain
attributes
• Priority Matrix for Field Verification and As-Built
Digitization
• Field Verification Prioritization Map and Log
• Confidence Level Rating incorporated into GIS dataset • GIS Storm Drain Inventory Geodatabase with full
metadata documentation
Priority level Asset Focus Field Verification Approach
High City-owned trunk mains, major culverts, major
crossings, detention basins
Verify before modeling using as-built review, spot
survey, or CCTV as applicable
Moderate Local collector lines with moderate influence on hydraulic grade
Verify selectively if modeling shows sensitivity
Low Laterals or structures with minimal capacity effect Verification is resource dependent; Confidence Level documented
City of Menifee Dashboard
16 City Benefits:
• Establishes one authoritative drainage system dataset • Focuses field verification where it has maximum
hydraulic and CIP value
• Ensures trunk and high-consequence conveyance
assets are fully understood
• Reduces cost by avoiding unnecessary field work and
digitization
• Produces a model-ready and maintenance-ready GIS
system
• Creates transparency in data certainty to support future planning and budgeting
TASK 3: EXISTING CONDITION
HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC
ANALYSIS AND MODELING
This task develops the citywide hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model using the verified, Model-Ready drainage GIS.
Before modeling begins, RICK will meet with the City to review available hydrologic and hydraulic methodologies, confirm RCFC&WCD compliance needs, and jointly select
the approach that best aligns with the City’s goals. RICK has extensive experience delivering H&H models under
RCFC&WCD standards, ADP/MDP methodologies, and
citywide master-planning frameworks, and will ensure the agreed-upon method is compliant, reliable, and appropriate for long-term City use.
Although SWMM itself was excluded in the City’s Q&A,
PCSWMM can be configured to fully apply RCFC&WCD
hydrology, including District-standard rainfall patterns, loss parameters, routing assumptions, and unit hydrograph
methods. RICK recommends a PCSWMM-based approach
that incorporates these RCFC&WCD requirements while
enabling 2D overland flow, providing a practical and
compliant “best-of-both-worlds” solution.
This method improves upon traditional ADP/MDP
hydrology by enabling evaluation of how local infrastructure constraints, roadway grading, inlet capacity, and overland flow paths influence system performance, producing a
more complete understanding of actual conditions within Murrieta’s built environment allowing for better allocation of resources during CIP development.
3.1 Compile Hydrologic Data and Generate
Subcatchments
RICK will generate subcatchments using updated terrain
data and the verified GIS. Based on the City’s ~1,854 catch basins and 156 inlets, the model will include approximately 2,000–2,100 subcatchments, providing an appropriate
level of detail for localized and basin-level hydrology.
Hydrologic inputs will be fully aligned with RCFC&WCD
methodology, including:
• District-standard loss rates and infiltration parameters • Unit hydrograph parameters consistent with applicable ADP/MDP basins
• Runoff coefficients derived from RCFC&WCD land-use
categories
• Routing, roughness, and depression storage values
consistent with District practice
Design storms will use RCFC&WCD rainfall distributions
and IDF curves. NOAA Atlas 14 may be referenced for
cross-checks and potential incorporation.
3.2 Existing Condition Hydrologic and Hydraulic Model
RICK will construct a 1D/2D PCSWMM model that
incorporates:
• 1D pipe and channel hydraulics from the verified GIS
• 2D overland flow computation to represent roadway
ponding, surface flow routes, and drainage relief paths • Dual drainage behavior between surface and
subsurface systems
Model simulations will evaluate the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events, with the 100-year event used as the primary basis for deficiency mapping and CIP development.
While PCSWMM is not listed by the District, its hydrology and routing configuration will be structured to match
RCFC&WCD methodology, ensuring regional consistency
while providing enhanced representation of local flow
behavior, particularly where overland relief and roadway grading influence drainage.
Calibration will reference
available observations,
maintenance history, and
field-verified constraints.
Model results will map
surcharge locations,
roadway flooding, ponding,
and overland flow pathways
under existing conditions.
Deliverables:
• Subcatchment maps and hydrology tables
• All PCSWMM model files
• Technical memo summarizing methodology and
assumptions
• Existing condition hydraulic performance and deficiency exhibits
City Benefits:
• Subcatchment-level hydrology tied to actual inlet
distribution
• 2D modeling provides improved understanding of
roadway flooding and overland flow behavior
• Transparent, updateable model supporting future CIP
planning and grant applications
• Modeling results reflect verified infrastructure conditions from Task 2
TASK 4: RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
(CIP DEVELOPMENT)
This task converts modeling results into a defensible,
fundable set of drainage improvements. We pair hydraulic performance, system condition, and cost considerations
to develop a clear roadmap for near-term and long-term
investment. Detailed concept development and refinement City of Menifee
17 is assumed for up to ten (10) representative CIP projects, developed in coordination with City staff.
4.1 Identify Existing Deficiencies and Improvements
RICK will size deficient pipes and culverts citywide,
not only those elevated into the formal CIP list, to give Murrieta a comprehensive understanding of system needs.
Improvements may include upsizing, parallel relief systems, new inlets, channel modifications, or localized overland conveyance enhancements. This full sizing effort provides a transparent, systemwide view of drainage needs beyond the selected focus projects.
4.2 Identify Missing Proposed Improvements
RICK will identify and conceptually size new conveyance or capture facilities where system gaps, missing links, or ADP-referenced improvements limit performance.
Recommendations will reference RCFC&WCD ADP/MDP
guidance where applicable.
4.3 Identify Multi-Benefit and Water Quality
Opportunity Sites
RICK will screen the drainage network and publicly owned parcels to identify up to ten (10) locations where regional water-quality, trash-capture, or multi-benefit stormwater improvements may be feasible. These opportunity areas
will be documented in GIS and incorporated into the Web Viewer to support future grant pursuit and CIP coordination.
4.4 Prepare Opinion of Probable Construction Costs
Unit costs will be developed based on recent regional
bid history and RICK’s comparable work in surrounding
jurisdictions. All sized pipes, including structures not developed into standalone CIP projects, will be assigned planning-level costs, giving the City a clear view of
potential future obligations and opportunities for proactive reinvestment.
4.5 Prioritize Improvements Using a Scoring Matrix
RICK will apply a prioritization matrix based on hydraulic deficiency, consequence of failure, flood risk reduction, constructability, equity, and maintenance implications.
The scoring process allows clear communication to City
leadership and the public and provides a foundation for future budget cycles.
RICK will deliver:
• 5-Year near-term CIP (implementation-ready)
• 20-Year long-range program with costs
4.6 Identify Funding Sources
RICK will identify and summarize funding pathways for
each project type, including:
• FEMA BRIC and Hazard Mitigation Assistance
• CalOES grant programs
• SWRCB SRF
• IRWM funding opportunities
• RCFC&WCD or regional cost-sharing
• Federal infrastructure programs and resiliency funding Project scoring will incorporate grant competitiveness
factors, helping the City prioritize improvements that
can leverage outside funding. Where applicable, we will identify multi-benefit stormwater projects that support flood reduction, and multi benefit compliance, strengthening
grant viability.
Deliverables:
• Citywide list of deficient facilities with conceptual sizing • GIS layer of up to ten (10) multi-benefit/water-quality opportunity locations incorporated into final GIS and
Web Viewer Planning-level unit costs and project-level
estimates
• Prioritization matrix and scoring results
• 5-Year CIP and 20-Year Long-Range Program
• Funding and grant opportunity summary
City Benefits:
• Clear understanding of both immediate and long-range
drainage needs
• Transparent prioritization process grounded in hydraulic benefit and risk reduction
• Strategic positioning for competitive grant funding
• Planning-level costs that inform future budget and
impact-fee updates

A.1 CCTV Inspection and PACP Condition Grading
The results of previous system research and Tasks will
inform the optional CCTV efforts. RICK will coordinate with a subconsultant to conduct targeted CCTV inspections
of high-risk or unknown-condition segments (e.g., known O&M locations, CMP), and assign PACP condition ratings
to each. Rick will prioritize evaluation of the City-owned and maintained infrastructure with a diameter of 18-inches and larger with exceptions for critical connections of smaller diameter and differing ownership to better facilitate creation of critical CIP drainage improvement recommendations.
Note: CCTV inspection scope will be defined based on
the number of days the CCTV crew will be in the field
and agreed upon with the City at project initiation. For scoping purposes, it is assumed that twenty (10) days of CCTV inspection will be completed. Additional footage or inspection rounds may require a scope amendment.
OPTIONAL TASK B: ADDITIONAL AS-
BUILT PLAN DIGITIZATION
Based on the review and digitization of available as-built plans for critical infrastructure, this optional task will provide additional as-built digitization efforts for facilities outside the scope of the original assumptions in Task 2.
B.1 Additional As-Built Data Digitization (T&M NTE)
This optional task expands the baseline scope to further enhance the storm drain model beyond what would be
strictly necessary for the Master Plan model development.
If the City elects to more fully develop existing conditions of their drainage facilities, RICK will digitize additional as- built plan information including invert elevations, depth, slope, size, for features outside what is prioritized in Task 2 assumptions, improving network accuracy and connectivity.
Work will be closely coordinated with City staff to identify priority areas, integrate new features into the GIS database, and ensure the model reflects the most complete and
accurate representation of existing infrastructure.
