SCOPE OF SERVICES
Exhibit A
Scope of Services

PROJECT LOCATION
The City of Riverside is inviting consulting teams to submit proposals for the University Wash Improvements. The proposed project is located in the City of Riverside within Fairmount Park. The portion of University Wash (also referred to as Springbrook Wash) that will be improved is the reach located downstream of Market Street and extends 900 linear feet to Fairmount Lake (downstream) and includes the Bowling Green Drive vehicular bridge.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OVERALL GOALS
The goal of this project is to restore the channel capacity, improve the functionality and beauty of the University Wash in Fairmount Park, reduce flooding, and increase safety. This endeavor is being paid for through the partnership between the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD) and the City of Riverside. RCFC&WCD will only fund work related to safely conveying stormflows, eliminating upstream backwater and ponding that occurs within RCFC&WCD's maintained flood control channel as shown highlighted in yellow on Site Plans A and B in the attached Exhibit D. In addition, this project will improve the ability of the City of Riverside to maintain the area and control sediment.

All other remaining work related to park improvements will be funded by the City of Riverside. All improvements will be maintained by the City of Riverside. There are no improvements proposed within RCFC&WCD's maintained flood control channel.

Fairmount Park is loved by the community and is a regional destination, partly because of the beautiful lakes and wash.

Fairmount Park is an Olmsted Brothers design dating back to 1911 (see Exhibit D) and the landscape is dominated by the Montezuma Bald Cypress Trees. These trees can live thousands of years and they must be protected.

Improvements will not only restore the water conveyance functionality, but also improve pedestrian access and safety, and enhance the beauty of the park. By working closely with the regulatory agencies, the natural environment of the park can be improved for the enjoyment of wildlife and human park goers alike. Aesthetics is important, and we hope that this will be a destination for selfies and formal wedding and quinceañera photography shots. It is recommended that the team include a landscape architect well versed in park design and native plant material. The design will need to ensure that the proposed landscape does not inhibit future maintenance and keeps the drainage functional as intended.

All of Fairmount Park is part of the flood plain and it is understood that the park occasionally floods. RCFC&WCD's University Wash Channel, which is the reach upstream of Market Street, outlets into the City's reach with a 100-year design flowrate of 3000 cfs. The hydraulic capacity of the improved channel through the park is expected to safely convey these flows.

The reach of University Wash between Market Street and Bowling Green Drive symbolized as ac on Site Plan A in the attached Exhibit D is an earthen trapezoidal channel with a 20 ft base width and 6 ft channel depth. Currently, the conveyance capacity of this reach is significantly reduced due to the presence of approximately 4ft of sediment/debris in the channel bed and the growth of vegetation in this sediment.

The existing Bowling Green Road bridge over University Wash is frequently overtopped due to diminished conveyance capacity in the channel beneath the bridge. This causes a safety risk due to flooding and requires the city to close down Bowling Green Drive until the stormwater subsides. The project will include design and engineering of the Bowling Green Road bridge that will not be prone to water overflow that requires closure and will include a sidewalk. This vehicular and pedestrian bridge may be prefabricated which may be more affordable and require less engineering.

The reach of University Wash downstream of Bowling Green Drive symbolized as : on Site Plan A in Exhibit D is an earthen trapezoidal channel with a 20 ft base width and 5.5 ft channel depth. Currently, the conveyance capacity of this reach is also significantly reduced due to the presence of approximately 5ft of sediment/debris and vegetation in the sediment. Lastly, the reduced capacity of University Wash between Market Street and Fairmount Lake results in consistent backwater and ponding upstream and within approximately 1300 ft reach of the RCFC&WCD concrete lined University Wash Channel highlighted yellow Site Plans A and B in the attached Exhibit D.

The University Wash terminates to Fairmount Lake at an existing at-grade crossing maintenance access road and culvert.

The at grade crossing is a trapezoidal earthen fill embankment covered with a concrete apron. The existing concrete armoring on the downstream face of the embankment is failing due to root intrusion and uplift. There is usually algae and moss on top of this structure due to the constant flows. The project includes the replacement of this at-grade crossing to enhance maintenance access and reduce the slip and fall hazard for pedestrians accessing the area.

One goal of the project is to increase and improve pedestrian circulation and maintenance access in and around the University Wash and Lily Ponds. The selected consultant will provide a circulation analysis and design for pedestrian and maintenance access to the wash and lily ponds. This design may include small, prefabricated bridges or small culverts to aid in pedestrian and small maintenance vehicle access over low flow waterway. It is understood that this access will be limited during high flows.

There is an existing 2,900 ft long 36-inch RCP storm drainpipe symbolized as → on Site Plan B in attached Exhibit D that drains the University Wash to a clearing adjacent to Dexter Road just southwesterly of the Lake Evans spillway, south of the American Legion. This drainpipe does not function because the terminus is blocked, and the pipe is undermined. The result is that the adjacent parking lots and the golf course flood often. Currently the city is clearing the area at the terminus of this pipe near the American Legion and will make repairs to this pipe as a separate project. The consultant will consider if this drainpipe should continue to be part of the hydraulic design of the University Wash or should be capped so that it will only drain the adjacent parking lot and not the University Wash. Investigate why this storm drain is prone to clogging, and investigate a more robust solution, such a low flow outlet into Fairmount Lake from the at-grade crossing, since this will be reconstructed
The Lakes were last dredged in 2007 and a dredging of Fairmount Lake is currently being planned for the summer of 2024 to restore storage capacity lost due to sediment deposition from the University Wash in the lake, improve the lake water quality, and restore the use of the lake for recreational boating.

The city has also hired a contractor to remove non-native invasive species currently within this project area including University Wash downstream of Market Street extending to Fairmount Lake. This work does not include sediment removal in the University Wash.

THE TEAM
The preferred team will consist of a licensed civil engineer with similar project experience, landscape architect with experience in habitat restoration and public cultural landscapes, environmental consultant with experience with CEQA and permits, and possibly a bridge designer.

AA IDS GROUP
b. UNDERSTANDING APPROACH
IDS understands that the existing University Wash Channel near Fairmount Park faces several issues contributing to flooding and seeks to restore the channel, Offline Basin-B, and Lily Pond to improve drainage, maintenance and pedestrian access, beauty, and safety of the Wash and Park. Fairmount Park has cultural and historical influence, and many Montezuma Bald Cypress Trees, that are vital to protect and preserve. The Park is important to the community and a regional destination in part because of the beautiful lakes and wash. The following is IDS's approach to restoring and improving this important area.

Fairmont Park Landscape
The IDS team has extensive experience with habitat restoration and cultural landscapes throughout the Southwest United States, including work for the City of Carlsbad, CA at Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch Park, Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park Cultural Landscape Inventory for Old NPS Housing and Bryce Canyon Lodge.

The original 1911 Olmsted Brothers Plan of Fairmount Park took what was considered "worthless land" on the quarry's edge, creating Riverside's flagship Fairmount Park, recognized as an example of excellence in urban park planning and plan implementation. Cultural landscape defining characteristics include the vision of the Olmstead brothers and their legacy, FAIRMOUNT which created this cherished signature park. Many attributes of the cultural THE PARK landscape are historically significant and have integrity. A review of the 1985 tree inventory showed that many trees from 1911 remain alive, and the Montezuma Bald Cypress are the home to many different bird species and will be preserved.

Restoration of the historic Lily Pond and the correction of the conveyance from University Wash offline Basin-B presents challenges which will be addressed through close coordination between our historic specialist, landscape architects, and civil engineers. Control of invasive plants will be improved through design, which encourages beneficial plants and by a redesign to modify the pond bottom depth and materials.

Beautification
Native plants form the basis for the natural beauty of Fairmount Park ecology and will be the basis for the landscape's architectural beautification.

Working with natives requires an understanding of the soil conditions, seasonal variations, unique water requirements, and maintenance needs.

The IDS team will design this successful native plant restoration to meet the needs of stormwater conveyance and the ecological framework for birds, butterflies and small mammal habitats. Our design will be based on the nesting, foraging, and cover needs for habitat, and the delicate balance of the interface of park users adjacent to the habitat.

Our civil engineering and landscape architecture teams will work closely to balance the stormwater conveyance and coefficient of roughness so that revegetation is focused in areas that don't impede floodwater movement. This will require attention to erosion control, protected planting pockets, and revegetated slope stabilization.

Increase & Improve Pedestrian Circulation and Maintenance Access The Lily Ponds and University Wash are key visual destinations and will be integrated in concert with the Master Plan which is being developed. The locations of Bald Cypress trees and the Park's historic framework will inform the orientation and final layout of the pedestrian system. The pedestrian circulation will be designed to take the visitor on a journey through a series of vistas and landforms to help tell the story of the founding of the park and the Park's many layers of history. Maintenance Access will focus on providing functional, safe and accessible paths for the visiting public and ease of access for staff to visually survey and maintain the channel and offline basin.

CITY OF RIVERSIDE Design & Engineering Consulting Services For 3 RFP No. 2398 UNIVERSITY WASH AT FAIRMOUNT PARK

AA IDS GROUP
Increase Safety
The circulation analysis and design will be grounded in safety and accessibility, guided by consideration for reducing long-term maintenance needs. Designing a circulation system that is not inundated with flood water will be key to lowering long-term maintenance costs and improving safety.

Landscape & Irrigation
Native plants, revegetation of wash slopes, parkland restoration, and preservation of significant existing trees and plants will be the focus of the landscape design. These Park improvements call for the design of a low- water-use, efficient, underground, and automatically controlled irrigation system. Each hydrozone will be characterized and assessed, and the irrigation strategy for each zone will respond to the unique needs of the plants. Native plants will be on separate valves to control seasonally and irrigated with low water use overhead spray, which emulates natural conditions.

Topographic Survey
IDS will provide a topographic survey of the project area as required on pages 39 and 40 of the RFP (highlighted with green dashed lines) except for the conservation easement area (highlighted with red dashed lines).

Because of the high volume and density of mature trees, an aerial topographic survey is not considered feasible. Instead, the field survey shall be conducted entirely on the ground and contain shots sufficient to generate 1-foot contours for engineering design purposes. Additionally, all trees with a diameter of 6 inches at a height of 3 feet above the ground, protruding roots, existing site features, and above-ground structures will be captured. Survey coordinates will be in NAD83 and elevations in NAVD88 per Riverside County Benchmarks or NGS control points.

Geotechnical Study
Our subconsultant Associated Soils Engineering (ASE) will perform a geotechnical investigation including three exploratory borings extending to depths of 25 to 50 feet for the proposed improvements. Appropriate laboratory testing for determination of classification, in-situ density/moisture, shear strength, expansion, and corrosive characteristics of soil and bedrock materials as necessary to supplement any existing data. ASE will prepare a single Geotechnical Investigation Report ("Soils Report") for the improvements presenting findings, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the above-mentioned geotechnical information as well as remedial grading criteria, percolation test results, on-site sewage disposal recommendations, and foundation/slab/ retaining wall/pavement design parameters as applicable.

Environmental Study - CEQA Documentation
IDS's subconsultant UltraSystems will prepare an Initial Study (IS) under the requirements of CEQA § 21080 and § 15060 through § 15065 of the CEQA Guidelines. Technical analyses will be conducted for each environmental factor, as warranted, and well-supported responses for all questions listed under each environmental factor in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G will be provided. The environmental review of the proposed project will be conducted at a design, construction, and operation level of detail. The nature of the technical analyses will range from stand-alone technical studies to focused analyses necessary to address specific questions under each environmental factor of the Environmental Checklist. Mitigation measures will be developed in proportion to the severity and probability of the occurrence of the identified potentially significant effect.

We will work directly with the City of Riverside (or designated CEQA lead agency) staff assigned to the proposed project. Our approach also incorporates the need for multiple reviews of key documents (e.g., revisions to engineering and construction drawings and project specifications) and coordination with key components of the overall required services, to ensure that the CITY OF RIVERSIDE Design & Engineering Consulting Services For RFP No. 2398 UNIVERSITY WASH AT FAIRMOUNT PARK

AA IDS GROUP
document prepared is adequate and will best reflect the Lead Agency's independent judgment. The close coordination between our team and City staff will also reflect the Lead Agency's commitment to process and notice the anticipated IS/MND in a legally defensible and procedurally compliant manner.

Permitting
RWQCB Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) and/or Porter-Cologne Act Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and each of its nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) regulate the discharge of waste (dredged or fill material) into waters of the U.S. and waters of the State (as defined by the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act and California Water Code 13050[e]).

Waters of the State are defined as "any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state", and include waters of the U.S. including wetlands that meet the current definition, or any historic definition, of waters of the U.S. (California Water Code 13050[e]), and wetlands defined in the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State (SWRCB 2019, revised 2021).

Section 401 of the CWA requires certification for any federal permit or license authorizing impacts to waters of the U.S. (i.e., waters that are within federal jurisdiction), such as Section 404 of the CWA and Section 10 of the Safe Rivers and Harbors Act, to ensure that the impacts do not violate federal or state water quality standards. However, when a project may impact waters of the State, alone or in combination with waters outside of federal jurisdiction, the RWQCBs have the authority under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Porter- Cologne) to issue Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to ensure that impacts do not violate state water quality standards. WDRs, and waivers of WDRs are also referred to as orders or permits.

In the instance that waters of the U.S. are not within the project area, the 401 WQC is waived and the project proponent enters into the WDR process for waters of the State. Both pathways to permitting are administered by the RWQCB.

We will prepare and submit a Section 401 or WDR permit application package to the Santa Ana RWQCB (Region 8) which will include:
• Section 401 Water Quality Certification/Waste Discharge Requirements permit application form. • Full description, including the purpose and final goal of the entire activity. • Complete project description including:
• Jurisdictional wetland delineation report (if verified, the USACE verification letter - the delineation report). • Mitigation and monitoring plans, such as an HMMP.
• Any other documents relating to water quality and beneficial uses. • Grading Plans and/or final conceptual engineering drawings and detailed maps. • A detailed description of all measures to be taken to prevent the project from adversely affecting the water quality and beneficial uses of the waterbody(ies) to be impacted. • Identification of the federal license/permit (i.e., agency, type, nationwide permit number, file number). • Copies of federal application, notification, agency-Client correspondence, or signed statement that none is applicable (copy of the application for a USACE Section 404 permit, as per Optional task below). • Copies of any final or (if not final) draft federal, state, or local licenses, permits, or agreements concerning the project (copy of the application for a CDFW Streambed Alteration Agreement). • A copy of any draft or final CEQA document prepared for the project. Typically, RWQCB accepts a copy of the Notice of Determination on the CEQA document. If the document has not yet been certified or adopted, send a copy of the most completed version of the document. Although CEQA documentation is not required for a complete application, CITY OF RIVERSIDE Design & Engineering Consulting Services For RFP No. 2398 UNIVERSITY WASH AT FAIRMOUNT PARK
• IDS GROUP
the RWQCB needs to have ample time to properly review a final copy of valid CEQA documentation before taking a certification action.

The correct application fee deposit (to be paid by the City/client). Failure to submit this fee deposit will make the application incomplete.

CDFW Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA):

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) regulates rivers, streams, and lakes through its Lake and Streambed Alteration Program, which protects waters of the State pursuant to Sections 1600-1616 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code. These waters are generally referred to as "CDFW jurisdictional waters", which extend beyond the river, stream, or lake perimeter to include contiguous riparian habitat.

The project will require authorization of a Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA or "1600 permit") with CDFW before any activity that substantially modifies the bed, bank, or channel, including riparian habitat, of a river, stream or lake. An LSAA is also needed if an activity may substantially adversely affect existing fish or wildlife resources associated with CDFW jurisdictional waters. Finally, if protected riparian vegetation, usually trees, sometimes shrubs, will be encroached upon or removed, a protected tree inventory may be required (and included as a separate additional work task).

Effective September 1, 2020, all notifications for Standard Agreements (LSAA or "permit") must be submitted through the Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS) Permitting Portal for this project. We will complete an online application package including all requested information (City to reimburse/pay any fees, payable by the project applicant).

The project applicant (and Client) will review the final permit package prior to submittal to CDFW to begin the permitting process.

Task includes investigation of Existing Conservation Easement and Expired Lake Streambed Alteration Permit. This item includes researching the conditions of the existing conservation easement and identifying up to three (3) potential solutions for removing or modifying it to allow for regular channel maintenance, as outlined in the environmental study. This will include coordination with the City and City Attorney regarding legal requirements. We will revise the easement as allowed to accommodate maintenance activities to maintain hydraulic capacity of the facility.

Assumptions for above Environmental Work Program
This scope does not include development of a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP). Exhaustive details of mitigation design, implementation, and monitoring programs are not part of this scope. Development of an HMMP will require a change order.

This scope includes one permit package submittal to the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW. Additional resubmittals due to project design changes will require a change order.

This scope assumes the project will not require a Nationwide Permit from the USACE. Preparation of a Nationwide Permit application package would require the approval of Optional Task (404 Permit) by the City. Preparation of an Individual Permit, if required by the USACE, would require a change order.

We will not be responsible for WDR or LSAA Notification application fees, this will be the Client's responsibility, including payment for other permit fees as part of the permitting process.

If work will occur in "wetted channel," then a plan to divert water around the project site and dewater the work site must be included with the permit applications and should specify the method, volume, rate and timing of the diversion. A figure showing the size and location of the diversion must also be included. Water diversion is considered a temporary impact to jurisdictional waters and must be described in the jurisdictional delineation report and permit applications. If water diversion is proposed, then the Client must provide the following:
• A water diversion plan that specifies the method, volume, rate and timing of the diversion of the water around the work site.

CITY OF RIVERSIDE Design & Engineering Consulting Services For RFP No. 2398 UNIVERSITY WASH AT FAIRMOUNT PARK

AA IDS GROUP
• The plan must specify an estimation of the materials to be used (e.g. corrugated steel pipe with diameter, k-rails, sandbags, bubbler, visqueen sheeting, etc.).
• The plan must specify an estimation of equipment needed to install and maintain the water diversion. • CAD data with a defined coordinate system or GIS shapefiles/geodatabase or Google Earth kmz/kml files that digitally illustrate the size and location of the water diversion. • If we are to provide the development of the water diversion plan (i.e. consult with the Client and/or agencies, write sections of the plan, provide drawings to illustrate the concept, etc.), a change order will be requested.

A hydrological study or other information on site hydraulics (e.g., flows, channel characteristics, and/or flood recurrence intervals) may be required to evaluate potential project impacts to hydrology. This scope is outlined below in channel capacity restoration. This scope does not include work specific to a § 7 consultation or § 2081 consultation regarding federally or state listed species, respectively. Specific surveys and/or consultation with USFWS will require a change order.

A 30-day "Pre-filing Meeting" is required for submittals to the RWQCB, prior to submittal of the WDR permit application. The generally anticipated timeline is approximately 120 to 150 days upon the agency confirmation of a complete application, 30- day public review period, to the final hearing approving the project and permit issuance. Once an application has been deemed complete, the RWQCB has between 60 days and 1 year in which to make a decision. This does not include the time necessary to prepare the permit package or perform pre-application coordination with the agencies.

Changes to the existing project description, engineering drawings, project design elements, or other such changes resulting in alterations to the existing setting, resources, impact mapping, impact calculations, and/or mitigation may increase the projected project timeline and/or cause us to incur additional out-of- scope work, which will be billed via change order or on a time and materials basis to the client.

This scope includes not more than three (3) site visits with the resource agencies. UltraSystems experience indicates that agency consultation may require an unknown number of meetings and revisions to the permit package submittals. Additional meetings, site visits, responses to comments, revisions requested by the resource agencies will be conducted on a time and materials basis.

Permit Coordination with the Resource Agencies
Upon the Client's approval, we will coordinate individually with the concerned resource agencies (USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW) and conduct site visits to discuss the jurisdictional delineation survey results, project design, impacts to jurisdictional waters, recommended best management practices (BMPs), and mitigation concept. Agency concerns will be incorporated into the final resource agency permit package submittals.

In addition, we will coordinate with the Client, project engineer, the resource agencies, and other relevant parties to effectively process the permit applications. Coordination may include addressing agency comments and questions, negotiating mitigation measures, responding to requests for additional information, and any additional tasks required for package completion. Coordination may include telephone, email, or written correspondence, or meetings with the agencies.

Assumptions for Permit Coordination with the Resource Agencies This scope includes not more than three (3) site visits with the resource agencies. Our experience indicates that resource agency consultation may require an unknown number of meetings and revisions to the permit package submittals. Additional meetings, site visits, responses to comments, revisions requested by the resource agencies will be conducted on a time and materials basis.

Any coordination for the Section 404 Nationwide Permit from USACE will be conducted, as-needed, as per the Optional Task below.

Utility Locating and CCTV
IDS's subconsultant C-Below will provide a comprehensive Utility Investigation of the project area utilizing an Electromagnet Locator, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and Locatable Duct Rodder. Found utilities will be marked using water-based paint CITY OF RIVERSIDE Design & Engineering Consulting Services For 7 RFP No. 2398 UNIVERSITY WASH AT FAIRMOUNT PARK

AA IDS GROUP
showing utility type and estimated depth. The IDS survey team will take ground shots of the utility markings and incorporate them into the topographic survey base map. C-Below will also video the existing 2,900-foot long 36-inch RCP storm drain line using a Locatable CCTV Push Camera and provide a comprehensive report showing locations of any blockages or damage along the pipe.

Restoration of the Channel's Hydraulic Capacity
IDS' approach will be to investigate and restore the earthen University Wash Channel hydraulic capacity to convey the 100-year design flowrate of 3,000 cfs in addition to restoring Offline Basin B and constructing low and high-flow spillways from the Wash to Basin-B, and restoring the integrity of the historic "Lily Pond" to a visually beautiful park destination suitable for habitat and should be easily maintained.

The investigation of the existing conservation easement and lake streambed alteration will be conducted in coordination with UltraSystems' technical study findings and in consultation with the City and City Attorney. The conservation easement review will explore design options to protect the ecological and environmental integrity of the land surrounding the lake. This may involve placing land-use restrictions to preserve its natural state, wildlife habitat, water quality, and scenic beauty. Key considerations include protecting water quality, safeguarding wildlife habitats, preventing erosion and runoff, and conserving both recreational and scenic values.

Existing 36-inch RCP Storm Drain Investigation
IDS's approach will be to CCTV the 2,900-foot length of the 36-inch main line to identify areas of damage and blockage. IDS will also perform a hydrology and hydraulic analysis to determine the existing flow capacity of the 36-inch mainline and incoming flow from the existing laterals and the Wash. IDS will then analyze the proposed improvements to the Wash and if the connection to the 36-inch mainline should remain or be capped, and a new low-flow from the Wash provided directly to the Lake.

Bowling Green Drive Bridge Replacement
IDS will work closely with a prefabricated bridge manufacturer to prepare PS&E to incorporate a new bridge with a sidewalk to replace the existing bridge at Bowling Green Drive (see location depicted at right). The goal of the bridge design and maintenance modifications to the channel below the bridge (via the conservation easement evaluation) will be to ensure that stormwater runoff will no longer overtop the bridge, preventing further flooding and shutdowns. The new bridge location is envisioned just north of the existing bridge to avoid impacts to the grove of Montezuma Cypress trees and to maintain traffic/access during construction.

Additionally, the University Wash terminates at Fairmount Lake at an existing at-grade crossing, which includes a maintenance access road and culvert. The at-grade crossing consists of a trapezoidal earthen fill embankment, covered with a concrete apron.

The existing concrete armoring on the downstream face of the embankment is failing due to root intrusion and uplift. Algae and moss frequently accumulate on this structure due to constant water flow. The project includes replacing this at-grade crossing to enhance maintenance access and reduce the slip-and-fall hazard for pedestrians accessing the area. The goal is to remove the concrete apron at the downstream end of the lake area.

Drainage Study
IDS will conduct a drainage study to analyze the pre and post-Hydrology and Hydraulic conditions of the University Wash near Fairmount Park and the existing 2,900-foot long, 36-inch RCP storm drain line. The study will include exhibits of the pre and post- construction conditions and hydraulic software calculation outputs.

OPTIONAL TASKS
USACE Section 404 Nationwide Permit
The amount of work associated with preparing a notification to the USACE pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) depends on the magnitude of project impacts to waters of the U.S. (as defined on September 8, 2023 in Revised Definition of "Waters of the United States"; Conforming [88 FR 61964]) under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Most projects require a Preconstruction Notification (PCN) be submitted to the USACE. If permanent losses (i.e., impacts) are below the impact threshold for notification, then the project may be exempt and would qualify as a non- notifying project. However, as the Section 404 permit is directly applicable to the Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB (see Section 401 below), each project will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to provide a streamlined effort for permitting.

Under Section 404 of the CWA, the USACE can issue general permits to authorize activities that have minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects. The Nationwide Permit Program (2021) allows the USACE to issue general permits in the form of Nationwide Permits (NWPs) for certain activities, provided that the disturbance thresholds are satisfied.

Typically, projects that result in impacts to less than 0.5 acre (this acreage varies among different NWPs) can normally be conducted pursuant to one of the NWPs. Under these circumstances, the PCN also functions as an NWP application.

Activities in waters of the U.S. that involve greater than minimal impacts require an Individual Permit. Typically, the USACE will require an Individual Permit for an activity that will impact an area equal to or in excess of 0.5 acre of waters of the U.S.

Individual Permits and NWPs are completely different in scope. Our current understanding of the project scope indicates the project may qualify for a nationwide permit if the project impacts are less than 0.5 acre, depending on the NWP applied for (subject to USACE discretion).

We will complete a Section 404 Nationwide Permit application package that includes all requested information, and submit the permit package to the USACE, Los Angeles District for review. At that point, we may also request a Pre-Application Meeting, which is recommended for those projects that may be complex and/or potentially controversial.

The permit package will include the following:
• A completed application form with appropriate figures and drawings. • A detailed description of the project, including location, grading plans, and water diversion plans provided by the Client.
• Jurisdictional delineation report.
• A list of approvals and certifications being obtained from other federal, state, or local agencies. • Biological resources survey report.
• Cultural resources report.
• Compensatory Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP).

EXCLUSIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS:
• See above, prior assumptions regarding the environmental program and permitting scope of work. • A Low Impact Development (LID) Study is not expected to be required for the proposed improvements and is excluded. If the City or other Agencies require an LID Study, this can be provided for an additional cost. • Construction surveying and staking is excluded.
• Excludes CCTV and hydrology study of laterals connected to the 2,900-foot, 36-inch RCP storm drain main line and assumes the County/City will provide Record Drawings of the 36-inch storm drain main and County/City will provide peak flows for runoff draining to each lateral inlet.
• Permitting fees to be paid by the City (Client).
