EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
CONSULTANT shall provide the Services detailed in this Exhibit A, entitled “SCOPE OF SERVICES”.
CONSULTANT will provide:
Task 1 – Data Collection
Subtask 1.1 Background Information
CONSULTANT will gather available background data to inform the permanent restoration of the Arastradero Creek. As part of this effort, CONSULTANT will review all documents developed in 2023 as part of the emergency effort. Documents include The Basis of Design Memorandum (WRA 2023), the General Certification issued by the Water Board, and the USACE’s Regional General Permit, including comments received from CDFW. In addition, CONSULTANT will gather and review available background information as provided by the City and other subconsultants (i.e., geotechnical, survey, and cultural resources). CONSULTANT will assess all pertinent data to confirm the cause(s) of channel instability including hydrological changes, tributary culvert and upstream influences (e.g., upstream pond), hydrological changes and fluctuating lake levels, and identify any sensitive habitats or species the stabilizations may impact. A site assessment, described in Task 4, will be used to validate desktop findings.
Subtask 1.2 Hydrological Monitoring
CONSULTANT will identify key hydrological parameters to monitor, select appropriate monitoring methods and equipment, determine the frequency and duration of monitoring activities, collect and analyze hydrological data, and collaborate with the stakeholders to ensure that monitoring efforts align with the project goals and regulatory requirements. As part of this subtask, CONSULTANT will collect the data from data loggers that were installed as part of the 2023 Temporary Creek Stabilization Project. The data will be presented in narrative and graphical format in the Basis of Design (BoD).
Subtask 1.3: Topography
CONSULTANT team will work closely with the stakeholders designated by CITY to collect additional topographic data necessary for the overall stabilization design plan.
CONSULTANT will gather topographic survey data to supplement existing LiDAR data and develop a digital elevation model (DEM) suitable for design. CONSULTANT may direct subconsultant, Hogan Land Services, Inc. (Hogan) to perform this work.
The DEM will reflect current site conditions and will be used to identify any terrain adjustments occurring since the LiDAR data was collected. Additionally, key Project elements will be surveyed, i.e. exposed infrastructure, tributary culvert inverts, road surface and dam features.
CONSULTANT will conduct a site visit during the survey to ensure all appropriate data is collected and to assess the site for any additional changes since the 2023 temporary project was Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F

completed.
Subtask 1.4: Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) Modeling
CONSULTANT will gather and analyze the creek’s hydrological characteristics and hydraulic behavior. CONSULTANT will use the gathered data gathered to develop a hydraulic model that shows how water moves through the creek under different conditions. CONSULTANT’s model will help propose stabilization measures for the design through the creek’s flow pattern and bank stability.
CONSULTANT will use a range of design flow rates to evaluate hydraulic conditions for compliance with acceptable criteria. CONSULTANT will consider a range of flows that includes base flow up to the 100-year return interval runoff.
To validate hydrology estimates, CONSULTANT will utilize data retrieved from water data loggers installed along Arastradero Creek in 2023 (described in Subtask 1.2). CONSULTANT will compare this data to the updated survey, rainfall, and hydraulic conditions to calibrate our models. CONSULTANT will also validate bankfull discharge estimates by assessing stable reaches of Arastradero Creek upstream of the Project area.
Subtask 1.5: Subsurface Utility Locates
CONSULTANT will identify and survey the vertical and horizontal location of all pertinent utility lines within, and/or adjacent to, anticipated area(s) of disturbance near the temporary repair and the erosion at the road culvert. CONSULTANT's surveyors will collaborate with CONSULTANT's local technicians to collect survey data at pertinent utility locations.
CONSULTANT will use this data to illustrate exact utility locations in the plan and profile sheets of the plan set.
Subtask 1.6 Tree Survey
Part of the background data collection needed is a survey of the existing riparian trees in the Project area, which CONSULTANT will perform. The extent of the survey would include all trees over 4” diameter at breast (dbh) height with canopies that overlap the work area (which includes where any earthwork, access, or staging could occur). CONSULTANT will collect data to understand site constraints from an access and restoration design perspective, and to understand what tree impacts may be for the regulatory agency permits. To conduct this task, CONSULTANT will ensure that all trees that meet the survey criteria will be identified to species, tagged with an aluminum tree tag with a unique identification number, and mapped using high-grade GPS so they can be plotted on the design drawings. CONSULTANT will collect additional information about the tree’s dbh, height, canopy width, and general health.
CONSULTANT has certified arborists that will complete this task.
Subtask 1.7: Geotechnical Borings
CONSULTANT may direct subconsultant, Crawford and Associates (Crawford), to perform the following work.
Creek Restoration
As part of the data gathering process, CONSULTANT will visit the site to make a geologic reconnaissance of the creek banks. The geologic reconnaissance will be about 1,400 linear feet Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
and will begin slightly upstream of the temporary creek restoration and continue to Lake Arastradero. As part of the data collection, Crawford will observe and visually classify the soils exposed within the creek banks, observe slope stability of existing creek banks and collect about four grab samples within the creek for gradation analysis following ASTM D6913. (about every 300 to 500 ft). CONSULTANT will also collect two grab samples at the identified potential borrow locations for gradation analysis. The gradation analysis is limited in the size of material and may not be fully representative if large granular materials are present.
CONSULTANT will also complete two hand auger borings to a maximum depth of 5 ft (or until hand auger refusal) to classify potential borrow material within the flood plains.
CONSULTANT will collect soils data following the 30% design milestone to inform the 60% design. CONSULTANT will visit the site and mark boring location for USA north 811, coordinate the drilling, and obtain the required County boring permit. CONSULTANT will drill up to two exploratory borings to depths of up to 20 feet near proposed grade control structures.
CONSULTANT will drive Standard Penetration Test and modified California samples to obtain sample and blow count information. Unless otherwise directed by CITY, CONSULTANT will use a small, limited access track rig for borings.
Trail Roadway Rehabilitation
CONSULTANT will ensure subconsultant will complete the following to support the trail rehabilitation. CONSULTANT will review the failure site and complete one additional boring to a depth of 15 to 20 ft. CONSULTANT will direct an engineer/geologist to direct the sampling and log the boring, which will be sampled at 2.5 ft intervals in the upper 10 feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter. CONSULTANT will drive Standard Penetration Test and modified California samples to obtain samples and blow count information. CONSULTANT will probe around the failure and at the bottom of creek to help determine the depth of disturbed material and correlate near-surface soils. CONSULTANT will complete laboratory testing on the samples collected consistent with Subtask 1.8. If access is unavailable due to conflict with existing utilities, CONSULTANT will instead complete two Dynamic Cone Penetrometers.
Subtask 1.7a Geotechnical Borings (Add-Alternate Item)
At CITY’s request via Task Order, CONSULTANT will complete an additional boring of up to 40 ft near the location of the exiting utilities. This boring location will be used to inform implementation of Option 2: Lowering utility pipelines below the predicted equilibrium slope of the head cut.
Subtask 1.8 Geotechnical Evaluation
CONSULTANT will provide geotechnical engineering services to inform the design and construction of the channel improvements. CONSULTANT will conduct laboratory testing on recovered samples obtained as part of the data gathering effort to classify the subsurface soils and to develop the geotechnical engineering design criteria, including analytical testing.
CONSULTANT’s laboratory testing will include moisture content and unit weight, sieve analysis, hydrometer and plasticity index. The exact type and quantity of the testing will be established when the field exploration is complete and subsurface samples are obtained.
CONSULTANT’s tests will adhere to recognized industry standards.
Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
CONSULTANT will develop a preliminary geotechnical memorandum to support the 30% design. CONSULTANT's preliminary memorandum will include the following: characterizing existing soils, estimating compaction/shrinkage percentages for cut and fill estimates, identifying soil strata and water table depths, and anticipated stable slope conditions.
For the 60% design, CONSULTANT will complete an engineering analysis. CONSULTANT will provide geotechnical considerations for cause(s) of failure and potential for future slope movement, slope mitigation recommendations, and construction considerations for the roadway repair. CONSULTANT will include the boring(s), laboratory results, and recommendations with the draft geotechnical memorandum developed with the 60% design. CONSULTANT’s draft geotechnical memorandum will address the following:
• Project description, scope of work, site description
• Subsurface exploration
• Soil and groundwater conditions
• Field and laboratory testing
• Site geology and seismicity summary
• Geotechnical recommendations for bank stability at the grade control locations • Location map, boring logs, and laboratory test results Following input from regulatory agencies and the CITY, CONSULTANT will finalize the geotechnical memorandum to coincide with the 100% design.
Subtask 1.9: Biological Resources Assessment and Wetland Delineation CONSULTANT will produce a formal Biological Resources Technical Report (BRTR) to support the CEQA process and formal regulatory permitting. CONSULTANT biologists will conduct a site visit to assess for the potential of special status species to occur. CONSULTANT will also map any sensitive habitats such as creeks, wetlands, riparian habitat, and the lake.
CONSULTANT will prepare the BRTR will be prepared to address all CEQA biological requirements. In addition, CONSULTANT will prepare a wetland delineation map and associated memo for Army Corps verification. CONSULTANT will provide draft reports to the CITY for one round of review. CONSULTANT will finalize draft reports based on CITY’s review.
Subtask 1.10: Cultural Resources Assessment
CONSULTANT will complete of a review of the potential for cultural resources, as required by CEQA and the Army Corps permitting process as part of the project entitlement process.
CONSULTANT may direct subconsultant, Thomas Origer Associates, to conduct the review of the cultural resources database to determine if any recorded sites are known from the area.
CONSULTANT will then conduct a pedestrian survey of the site to assess the Project area.
CONSULTANT will provide a report summarizing the findings from the database inquiry and site visit. If any sensitive cultural resources are found, CONSULTANT will provide suggested mitigation measures to support project implementation in a responsible manner.
Optional Subtask 1.11: Vegetation Clearing (Add-Alternate Item) At CITY’s request via Task Order, CONSULTANT will clear poison oak and other overgrowth Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F

CONSULTANT will reference City of Palo Alto Standard Specifications to compile technical specifications. CONSULTANT will identify anticipated modifications to the standard specifications due to unique design elements for the 30% design.
Where feasible, CONSULTANT will incorporate elements of the temporary project (e.g. boulder and cobble) into the permanent design. CONSULTANT will address removal of material deemed inappropriate for reuse from the temporary project in the 30% BoD.
CONSULTANT will submit these documents and drawings to the City for review.
CONSULTANT will revise the BoD and drawings according to CITY’s comments and feedback.
Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
CONSULTANT will conduct at least one set of revisions from the City before submitting to the regulatory agencies for review. CONSULTANT will facilitate coordination meetings with the City and permitting agencies for feedback on the design.
Subtask 2.2: 60% Design Stage
Building upon the 30% drawings and BoD, CONSULTANT will further refine BoD and Plan, Specifications, and OPCC. CONSULTANT will then submit draft versions of these documents to the City for review. CONSULTANT will conduct at least one round of revisions with the City before submitting the documents to the permitting agencies. CONSULTANT will make revisions to address feedback from the regulatory agencies. CONSULTANT will facilitate coordination meetings with the City and permitting agencies for feedback on the design.
CONSULTANT will develop an OPCC consistent with the AACE Class 2 Estimate characteristics for the 60% design. CONSULTANT will compile a complete set of standard specifications, including descriptions of any necessary variances required for unique design elements.
Subtask 2.3: 90% Design Stage
CONSULTANT will finalize the BoD, plans, specifications and OPCC, incorporating all City and permitting agency feedback and comments. CONSULTANT will submit the final draft documents to the City for review. CONSULTANT will conduct at least one round of revisions with the City before submitting the documents to the permitting agencies. CONSULTANT will then submit the documents to the permitting agencies to ensure all comments have been addressed and the design meets all the requirements. CONSULTANT will facilitate coordination meetings with the City and permitting agencies for feedback on the design.
CONSULTANT will develop an OPCC consistent with the AACE Class 1 Estimate characteristics for the 90% design. CONSULTANT will modify the 60% specifications as needed to develop 90% specifications.
Subtask 2.4: 100% Design Stage
CONSULTANT will develop and submit the final, approved BoD, Plans, Specifications and OPCC to the City and permitting agency for approval. The City and permitting agency will review the documents one final time to ensure all requirements have been met and the design is ready to go out on bid and implementation. CONSULTANT will facilitate coordination meetings with the City and permitting agencies for feedback on the design.
CONSULTANT will develop an OPCC consistent with the AACE Class 1 Estimate characteristics for the 100% design. CONSULTANT will modify the 90% specifications as needed to develop the 100% specifications.
Subtask 2.5 Alternatives Evaluation
CONSULTANT will prepare an analysis of conceptual alternatives for design options in the Project area in a collaborative process with the City. This includes a comparison of the options discussed in the Regional Board permit and evaluating a range of criteria such as cost, safety, and operation & maintenance.
Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F

Rev. Jan 29, 2024
CONSULTANT will develop a scope of work according to permit requirements and CITY direction and corresponding professional services (e.g. design support, permitting, construction services support, revegetation plant plan, post construction monitoring support) fee estimate for delivering the utility relocation project. CONSULTANT will develop an OPCC consistent with the AACE Class 4 Estimate characteristics for each of the alternatives provided by the Water Board. CONSULTANT will develop an Alternatives Evaluation memorandum that will include the recommendation of a preferred design concept to carry in to the preliminary 30% design.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Alternatives Evaluation Memorandum
• 30% Design Plan Set, OPCC, and BoD Memorandum
• 60% Design Plan Set, OPCC, and BoD Memorandum
• 90% Design Plan Set, OPCC, and BoD Memorandum
• 100% Design Plan Set, OPCC, and BoD Memorandum
Task 3: Permitting
CONSULTANT will identify the requirements of all relevant permitting agencies during the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% design stage. CONSULTANT will prepare and submit thorough application packages that address the agencies’ requirements. CONSULTANT will engage with the agencies throughout the application review process. The permitting agencies include, but may not be limited to:
A. California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)
B. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
C. San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB) D. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) / Initial Study Negative Declaration (ISND)
It is possible that a Biological Opinion from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for Section 7 Endangered Species Act (ESA) Consultation will be required. This is discussed in Subtask 3.1.
The long-term channel stabilization project can be planned and designed from the outset as a multi-benefit project, maximizing ecological improvement that results in a stable channel and grade, restored native riparian habitat, and long-term protection of the existing utility lines as key outcomes. With project goals including native riparian and wetland habitat restoration, and restored channel function for long-term habitat gains, this design can be the basis for pre- application discussions with agency staff from USACE, CDFW, SFBRWQCB and USFWS on the applicability of programmatic permitting. Potential programmatic pathways, if supported by each agency, include the California Endangered Species Act Restoration Management Permit (RMP) for San Francisco garter snake, RWQCB 401 Statewide Restoration General Order (SRGO) and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), and USFWS Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion for California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake.
Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
If the agencies determine that the project’s stream stabilization and utility line protection goals are not consistent with programmatic restoration permits and approvals, CONSULTANT will prepare and submit standard permit applications that meet all regulatory requirements for approval by the regulatory agencies.
These standard permits from the regulatory agencies include a Section 404 Nationwide Permit from the USACE, a 401 Water Quality Certification from the SFRWQCB, and a 1602 Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement from the CDFW (in addition to the potential Biological Opinion from the USFWS). CEQA in the form of an Initial Study/Mitigation Negative Declaration will also be required.
CONSULTANT will act as the City’s Agent for the permitting process, complete all draft permit applications, provide to the City for one round of review, and then submit the applications and any additional required information as needed to the respective agencies. CONSULTANT will schedule and lead a pre-application meeting with the agencies if required and follow up with the agencies regularly to ensure the project is adhering to the schedule. If any additional information is requested by the agencies, CONSULTANT will work with the City to provide that.
Similarly, CONSULTANT has recently successfully utilized the CEQA Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects (SERP) available from CDFW to streamline the environmental review process. As the project description is developed and refined, CONSULTANT proposes to explore the potential applicability of the SERP to the project in consultation with CDFW’s Cutting Green Tape team. If SERP is viewed as a viable alternative to standard CEQA review, CONSULTANT would propose preparing the required documentation to support CDFW concurrence. If it is concluded that the utility line protection aspect of the project disqualifies it from SERP, CONSULTANT staff is highly experienced at preparing CEQA documents and proposes preparing an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project consisting of the following components:
• A CEQA-level description of the project
• Administrative draft IS/MND
• Screencheck IS/MND
• Published IS/MND for 30-day review accompanied by the CEQA Notice of Intent • Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
• Final IS/MND consisting of revisions and responses to comments on the public draft IS/MND
• CEQA Notice of Determination
The IS/MND will incorporate information from the cultural resources study, hydrology and hydraulics report, biological resources assessment, and other technical supporting material as appropriate. The IS/MND should be prepared once the project description is largely complete and stable, usually at the 60% design stage (although potentially earlier). It is assumed that the City will be the Lead Agency and that both CDFW and the RWQCB will serve as Responsible Agencies.
Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
Upon receiving permit approvals, CONSULTANT will update the project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan to ensure the Project’s compliance with all the permit conditions.
CONSULTANT will use our internal project management software to monitor the permit’s status and ensure the project is on schedule. The design and construction management team will also stay in coordination with the permitting staff during project implementation to determine if there are permit amendments required if any meaningful changes to the design or implementation are needed.
Subtask 3.1: USFWS Section 7 Biological Opinion (Add-Alternate Item) California red-legged frog, a federally listed species, is known from Matadero Creek, which Arastradero Creek is tributary to, less than 2 miles downstream of the Project. Arastradero Lake also provides suitable breeding habitat for the species. In addition, San Francisco Garter Snake, another federally listed species, is known from the region, and the lake also supports habitat for it. And finally, western pond turtle was recently proposed for listing as threatened under the federal ESA. There is a high likelihood it will be formally listed prior to the project going to construction, and it has a high likelihood of occurring in Arastradero Lake. Because of the potential for presence of these species, CONSULTANT feels it is likely that the Corps of Engineers will initiate Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS. CONSULTANT will develop a Biological Opinion as part of this task if required.
Task 3 Deliverables:
• CDFW permit application package and permit
• USACE permit application package and permit
• SFRWQCB permit application package and permit
• Draft and Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Task 4: Revegetation Plant Plan
CONSULTANT landscape architect and biologist will conduct a site assessment to evaluate current conditions and collect any necessary data to support the revegetation plant plan. We will collect data on existing vegetation, including native and invasive, non-native plants, and gather other relevant data on hydrology and soils as needed. We will also characterize the organization of existing riparian vegetation with respect to the channel cross section and aspect. The revegetation plant plan will include planting and erosion control plans and specifications, and the intention of the plans are to effectively stabilize the soil, prevent erosion, improve water quality, and enhance habitat for wildlife. The plant plan will consist of the proposed planting areas along the creek banks and surrounding areas, typical planting layouts, planting details, and a plant palette composed of species reflective of the native plant communities ecologically appropriate to the site. The erosion control plans will include seeding areas and erosion control measures as required for disturbed areas. CONSULTANT will develop a seed mix list that will be reviewed by GrassRoots Ecology. The planting plan and erosion control plan will be prepared at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% design stages as described in Task 2.
Optional Subtask 4.1: Temporary Irrigation Plan (Add-Alternate Item) A plan will be prepared for a temporary irrigation system to provide supplemental water to the plantings during the establishment period. We will work with the City to determine the location of the point of connection for irrigation water. The water main is unavailable near the site. We Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F
Professional Services
Rev. Jan 29, 2024
will assess the existing pump station as a potential water source and we will identify alternative water sources, such as the use of a water buffalo or water tank. CONSULTANT may refine the scope and cost of this task with the City once we better understand the best option for providing water to the plants.
Task 4 Deliverables:
• 30% Revegetation and Erosion Control Plan
• 60% Revegetation and Erosion Control Plan
• 90% Revegetation and Erosion Control Plan
• 100% Revegetation and Erosion Control Plan
• Temporary Irrigation Plan (as requested by City)
Task 5: Monitoring and Construction Management Support
Once the project is bid and awarded to a Contractor, CONSULTANT will provide construction management support for the City throughout the entire construction phase.
CONSULTANT staff regularly provide construction field services and construction management support to ensure implementation meets design intent and to make timely decisions when unanticipated changes are needed to keep construction moving. At CITY’s direction CONSULTANT will offer construction management support services including:
• Supporting bid preparation and solicitation process;
• Conduct the preconstruction meeting;
• Support bid evaluation; Provide estimating progress and quantities; • Review payment applications;
• Conduct a substantial completion walkthrough and punchlist; and • Develop as-built record drawings.
CONSULTANT will include biological compliance monitoring of the Project and provide post- construction monitoring as required by the permitting agencies. Compliance monitoring would include pre-construction surveys for sensitive wildlife species. One, dusky-footed woodrat, is known to nest in the riparian area along the creek but several others have potential to occur. In addition, the regulatory permits will likely require that an approved biologist be present to observe construction during vegetation clearing and potential during in-channel work. The final scope of what will be required and the level of credentials that would be required won’t be known until the final permits are issued. For costing purposes, we are assuming that fourteen days of compliance monitoring will be required.
CONSULTANT will also conduct post-construction monitoring and reporting. The regulatory permits will have success criteria and reporting requirements for the restoration project. These will likely include channel geomorphic stability and vegetation success criteria plus annual reporting. CONSULTANT will conduct monitoring for two years following construction to assess the effectiveness of the restoration. Channel stability monitoring will be conducted at least once annually by a geomorphologist or engineer. If large storm events occur during the monitoring period (i.e., > 20-year rainfall event), additional site visits will occur to assess the stability of the channel. In addition, an ecologist will conduct site visits to monitor the Docusign Envelope ID: DCF713E5-48EE-4F9C-9680-FB693950B96F

establishment and growth of the restoration plantings and note the presence of any weeds that may need management. An annual report will be prepared with the requirements of the permits, the results of the monitoring, and any recommendations for remedial actions. CONSULTANT will submit a draft report to the City for one round of comments before submitting it to the regulatory agencies.
Task 5 Deliverables: Construction Bid Schedule
• Weekly construction observation reports
