PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Michael Baker understands that the City is looking to reconstruct non-compliant curb ramps, sidewalk uplift corrections, and grind and overlay for the residential streets within Baseline Rd and Etiwanda Ave.
The scope of work includes the following items:
• Design of up to 47 reconstructed curb ramps
• Compliance review of 5 existing curb ramps (shown in blue) • Approximately 15,600 LF grind and overlay of the residential streets • Design of sidewalk uplift corrections (locations to be determined after Field Investigation)
We have prepared the exhibit below demonstrating our understanding of the project limits and scope of work.
The scope includes the design of 42 new ADA curb ramps (shown in red) and 5 existing ADA curb ramps (shown in blue) to be constructed based on initial research of
the project area. The 5 existing ADA curb
ramps discussed above have truncated
domes but do not appear visually compliant.
Michael Baker will determine if the ramps are
compliant at these 5 locations, to ensure only
existing non-compliant curb returns will be
reconstructed to meet ADA standards. The
proposed street improvements include
approximately 15,600 LF of grind and overlay
of the residential streets within Baseline Rd
and Etiwanda Ave, exclusive of Baseline Rd
Ave and Etiwanda Ave.
Michael Baker will conduct a field
investigation to document and survey existing
field conditions in order to develop an up to
date base map to identify locations of
sidewalk uplifts and potential tripping hazards
as well as existing utility appurtenances that
will be affected by the pavement
rehabilitation. Driveways within project limits
and general ADA path compliance checks and
improvements are not included in this
project. After determining the impacted
locations, Michael Baker will propose/design
the reconstruction of sidewalk panels and tie
into existing conditions. A topographic survey
will only be for non-compliant curb ramp
reconstruction and design.

SCOPE OF WORK
Based on the RFP scope of work, Michael Baker has developed the following scope, which will act as the plan to deliver the project as well as the basis for determining schedule and fee. The deliverables and assumptions are shown at the end of each section.
Tas k 1: Project Management
Kimilee Murillo will act as the primary point of contact for the City. Her role will be to ensure fluid communication between the City and the design team. Kimilee will be responsible for managing the schedule, design, and budget. Kimilee will always be available for questions or concerns from the City, either by email or by phone.
Task 1.1 Project Meetings, Coordination and Management
Meetings will be arranged at the following times:
• Project Kick Off Meeting - used as a finalization of scoping, identification of any project concerns and allow the City and Michael Baker to meet and work out any design considerations. This will allow for our team to understand any special requirements the City may request as part of this project. • Design Check-In Meeting - to provide updates on project progress and resolve any comments.
Michael Baker will prepare the meeting agendas for each of these meetings.
This task also includes ongoing management of the project including coordination with the City, updates to the project schedule and administrative tasks. Michael Baker will send monthly project invoices which include progress reports on the project to the City’s Project Manager.
Assumptions: Up to four virtual project meetings, all project meetings will be held virtually. If there are extensive delays which extend the project duration and require additional ongoing project management and coordination, an additional fee will be discussed with the City.
Deliverables: Virtual Project Meetings, Meeting Agendas, Monthly Invoices, Project Schedule
Task 2: Field Investigation s and Topographic Survey
Task 2.1 Field Visit, Data Collection, Ramp Compliance Table, and Base Map Michael Baker will perform an ADA compliance evaluation of the existing 5 curb ramps. We will utilize a “smart level” to record existing crossfalls and ramp slopes. We will develop a table summarizing the curb ramps and highlight any ramps that are not ADA compliant, the table will include recommendations for each specific location.
Michael Baker will conduct a field visit to document and survey existing field conditions in order to develop an up to date base map to identify existing utility appurtenances that will be affected by the pavement rehabilitation. Michael Baker will also determine locations of sidewalk uplift in order to design reconstruction of affected sidewalk panels.
Assumptions: Compliance checks will only be performed at the 5 existing curb ramps identified above to confirm compliance.
Utility Coordination/Location Mapping is not included in the scope of work.
Deliverables: Field Visit with Photo Documentation, ADA Ramp Compliance Table for 5 ramps, and Base Map

Task 2.2 Topographical Survey
Michael Baker will perform a field survey of the pr oject site to facilitate engineering design. The s urvey will be used to identify the locations and elevations of existing f eatures and site elevations. The results of this su rvey will be compiled as CADD files to be used by the design team. This CADD base will be at 40 scale with a 1-foot contour int erval. The scope for this task includes up to 47 curb ramps shown on the exhibit above.
The site survey will include obtaining locations, elevations, and descriptions of:
• Spot elevations on hardscape features
• Curb and gutters and sidewalks
• Existing survey monuments
• Fences and walls
• Street and pavement areas including the roadway surface and cross gutters • Power poles, streetlights, traffic signals and major signs, overhead power lines within the right of way • Above ground utilities including valves, pull-boxes, meters, and vaults. • All major surface features that define the shape of the terrain, such as tops and toes of slopes, grad e breaks and natural ground.
• Trees over 6” in diameter
• Contours at one-foot intervals
All field topography shall be collected electronica lly for data processing. Consultant shall data pro cess all topography in AutoCAD 2018 format. Deliverables will include a h ard copy plot of the topography. The finished topog raphic map shall include the basis of horizontal and vertical contro l, North arrow, date-of-survey. Electronically for matted files will be E- mailed to the Client.
Unless otherwise directed by the Client, the basis of horizontal control will be the California Coordi nate System of 1983 (CCS 83), Zone 5, Epoch 2017.50. Coordinates will be expressed as grid values in terms of the U.S. survey foot. Coordinates will be based on the published values from the Cali fornia Spatial Reference Center (CSRC). Vertical co ntrol will be in terms of the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), based locally upon the City of Rialto benchmarks.
Assumptions: Topographic survey will only include up to 47 curb ramps. Right of Way Record Mapping, Setting propert y corners or boundary determination, construction staking, and final as-built survey will not be included in this scope.
Deliverables: Topographic Survey
