RE: Scope and Fee Proposal for Civil Engineering Services Pearl Street Garage Structural Assessment

Dear Dwight,

In response to your request, Sherwood Design Engineers (“Sherwood” hereinafter) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Napa (the “Client” hereinafter) for engineering services for the Perarl Street Garage Structural Assessment project. This proposal describes professional civil engineering services to be performed by Sherwood in collaboration, as appropriate, with the Client’s other design team members and their consultants (the “Design Team” hereinafter).

This proposal is valid for 60 days from date submitted to the City of Napa. Any proposed project or portion thereof not accepted during this timeframe, will become void and will require a new proposal if requested in the future.

Sherwood will initiate proposed services upon issuance of a task order for the work under the terms and conditions of the On-Call Engineering Agreement (Agmt No. C2025-228) between Sherwood and Client.

1.0 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

The Pearl Street Garage located at 1100 Pearl Street has a grand total of 403 parking spaces. Of those, 145 striped spaces are reserved for Archer Hotel valet on the top level of the garage (including the transition ramp portion of the top level). The City has a parking license agreement that allows the Archer Hotel to park 45 additional vehicles in unstriped parking spaces on the top floor leading to a total of 190 parking spaces available for the hotel’s valet operation. The City wishes to understand how much additional valet parking may be available on the top level and if the existing structure can accommodate the additional load.

Sherwood will work closely in a collaborative manner with the Design Team to complete the contracted civil engineering services in accordance with appropriate requirements of the governing agencies. The understood scope of work consists of civil engineering services as described below.

Every project is subject to specific requirements and conditions that cannot be fully anticipated and may require additional documentation and support not covered in the original scope. If additional scope items are identified, outside those listed within this proposal Sherwood will work with the Client to develop an Additional Services agreement for approval prior to advancing the work.

1.1 Limits of Work

The Limits of Work for this project encompasses the area bounded in Exhibit A. Any additional work not included herein may be scoped in a separate contract.

2.0 PROJECT PHASING AND DELIVERABLES

Sherwood proposes the following design phases. Each phase is intended to enhance the design upon successive approvals to help the project realize the intended design upon completion.

The proposed design phases for this project are:

1. Base Mapping

2. Conceptual Site Planning

3. Structural Assessment

It is understood that Sherwood will provide electronic files to the Client for submittal to the appropriate stakeholders and design review committee. Refer to phase(s) below for specific deliverables.

2.1 Base Mapping

Sherwood will prepare a base map for use in planning documents using available resources such aerial photographs and garage as-built information where it exists. Sherwood anticipates that there will be one (1) milestone during this phase of the project. This phase will include the following deliverables:

Deliverables include:

1. Base map for use in planning documents

2.2 Conceptual Site Planning

Sherwood will prepare conceptual site plan options for the addition of striped valet parking spaces in the project area. Plans will show parking spaces, drive aisles, backup areas and circulation. This work includes meeting with the valet provider to understand current operations as well as preferences and constraints. Sherwood anticipates that there will be two (2) milestones during this phase of the project:

Preliminary Site Plan Options and Final Site Plan. This phase will include the following deliverables:

Deliverables include:

1. Attend one (1) site visit

2. Attend one (1) site meeting with valet operator

3. Up to two (2) Preliminary Site Plans for Client review

4. One (1) Final Site Plan for use in the structural assessment

2.3 Structural Assessment

Based on the Final Site Plan approved by Client, Sherwood’s structural sub-consultant will provide structural engineering services for the evaluation of the adequacy of the top level of the garage to be able to support additional Archer Hotel valet parking. The Pearl St Parking Garage is a two -story post- tensioned (PT) concrete parking garage with rooftop parking. The original construction drawings by TY Lin, dated 2/17/84, specify that the garages are designed per the 1982 Uniform Building Code with a parking live load of 50 pounds per square foot. The scope of services includes:

● Review of original construction documents
● Review and analyze resulting live load from proposed parking layout ● Analyze capacity of existing PT beams, PT slabs and columns, if required

Sherwood anticipates that there will be one (1) milestone during this phase of the project. This phase will include the following deliverables:

Deliverables include:

1. Letter Evaluation Report to outline methodologies and findings

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS

The following items are to be provided by the Client prior to commencement of work:

1. All available original construction documents and structural records for the garage.

2. Any geotechnical information available for the site.

Additional Assumptions:

1. Phase durations will generally correspond to those shown in section 4.0. Extensions to the project schedule and associated engineering efforts will be addressed by contract addendum.

2. A technology fee will be applied to the project, at the Client’s expense, for use of specialty software not typically associated with the preparation of civil engineering analyses and documents.

3. If this contract were to be placed on hold for more than thirty days, Sherwood reserves the right to redistribute staff to other projects and would require a two-week remobilization effort and a renegotiation of our terms of service to restart the effort.

4. The client may not copy, republish or use any imagery provided by Sherwood as part of any submissions as this imagery may be subject to copyright infringement. Sherwood relinquishes all responsibility for use of any copy righted image that is furnished to the client as part of any submission.
