CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
ON-CALL (AS-NEEDED) GEOTECHNICAL PLAN CHECK SERVICES
Background about the City of San Clemente (the City) and the project, as well as information about the Scope of Work to be undertaken are discussed in this section of the RFP.
A. INTRODUCTION
The City is seeking proposals from qualified Consultants to perform on-call (asneeded) geotechnical review services of project plans and geotechnical/geological soil reports related to subdivision map processing, grading plans and associated construction improvements for residential, commercial, industrial, public projects, street improvements, and landslide projects of all sizes. Reports may include design recommendations for improvements such as retaining walls, shoring systems, tieback systems, etc.
Consultants may subcontract to another firm for plan check services, if approved by the City. If it is known at this time that you will be subcontracting any portion of the plan check service, please include subcontractor information within your Proposal. All subcontractor billing must be paid through a separate invoicing to be paid by the Consultant.
The City may enter in agreement with more than one Consultant for each of the proposed services within this RFP. The intent of this would be to have a backup Consultant ready in case of heavy workloads or potential conflict of interest situations where the primary Consultant may have been previously involved on the project.
The City’s review of single-family developments is typically done under a fixed fee rate per the latest adopted City Fee Schedule. The Consultant’s maximum invoicing on fixed fee plan checks shall not exceed 85% of the amount of the latest adopted City Fee Schedule. The fixed fee rates are increased each July 1 by the April-April Consumer Price Index for the region. Multi-family, commercial, and landslide projects are typically done under a time and material basis.
Although it is subject to change via City Council action, the Consultant contact term will likely be for a 2-3 year term, with two additional 1-year optional extensions. 501
7 B. BACKGROUND
The City of San Clemente was incorporated in 1928 and has a current population of approximately 68,000. The City and its residents expect a high level of customer service. The City utilizes contractual plan check services when needed to supplement City staff in order to maintain review turnaround timeframes and provide a high level of customer service.
Although the City is reaching near build-out and its tract development has slowed, projects requiring subdivision maps and/or grading plans still occur. Grading permits are often required for vacant land improvements, partial or complete teardowns, parking lot reconstruction, and landslide repairs, etc. Due to the hillside topography of the City, slope stability is also of concern, therefore, most grading plans (and an occasional Building Department plan check) require the preparation and review of a detailed soils report. The City typically contracts all review of soils reports for grading plan projects to an outside Consultant. There are also occasional projects which require building permits, but may not require grading plans, which the Building Official may ask for the soils report to be reviewed by the outside geotechnical plan check Consultant. The actual plan check of the grading plans is provided under a separate contract than this proposed contract, but the geotechnical plan check consultant will be required to review the geotechnical reports for design alternatives, compliance, and coordination with the grading plans.
The geotechnical plan check consultant may submit a separate proposal for the grading plan engineering plan check service contract. The City may enter in agreement with the same company for both contracts, but it is not required for a company to apply to both RFP’s.

liability or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of such fee or commission.

APPLICABLE ONLY IF THIS BOX HAS BEEN CHECKED AND BOTH PARTIES HAVE INITIALED BELOW.
If CITY seeks monetary damages for CONTRACTOR’S failure to complete all of the services required hereunder by the completion date set forth in Exhibit “B” (the “Completion Date”), CONTRACTOR shall be required to pay to CITY _________ Dollars ($_____) per day for each day beyond the Completion Date that any of such services remain uncompleted; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit CITY’s remedy for CONTRACTOR’s failure to complete all services required hereunder by the Completion Date to seeking monetary damages, and CITY shall be entitled to pursue any other equitable remedy permitted by law, including, without limitation, specific performance.
THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT SET FORTH IN THIS SECTON 7.4 (THE “DAMAGE AMOUNT”) CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE
APPROXIMATION OF THE ACTUAL DAMAGES THAT CITY WOULD SUFFER DUE TO CONTRACTOR’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE SERVICES
REQUIRED HEREUNDER BY THE COMPLETION DATE, CONSIDERING ALL OF
THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE DAMAGE AMOUNTS

ANTICIPATED AND THE ANTICIPATION THAT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE COSTLY OR INCONVENIENT. THE DAMAGE AMOUNT SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.4 SHALL BE THE SOLE DAMAGES REMEDY FOR CONTRACTOR’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE SERVICES REQUIRED
HEREUNDER BY THE COMPLETION DATE, BUT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION

FAILURE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE SERVICES REQUIRED HEREUNDER BY THE COMPLETION DATE TO SUCH A DAMAGES REMEDY. IN PLACING ITS
INITIALS AT THE PLACES PROVIDED HEREINBELOW, EACH PARTY
SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE
ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY
COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY
COUNSEL TO EXPLAIN THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT OR PRIOR TO THE TIME EACH EXECUTED THIS AGREEMENT.
CONTRACTOR’S INITIALS: ___________ CITY’S INITIALS: ___________ Notwithstanding any of the above, nothing herein is intended to preclude the CITY’s recovery of its attorney’s fees and costs incurred to enforce this Section 7.4, as provided in Section 7.10 below.

7.6 Disputes.
In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured party shall notify the defaulting party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim therefor.

7.7 Retention of Funds.
CITY may withhold from any monies payable to CONTRACTOR sufficient funds to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities or damages suffered by CITY due to default of CONTRACTOR in the performance of the services required by this Agreement.
7.8 Waiver.
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a nondefaulting party shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. CITY's consent or waiver of one act or omission by CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed to constitute a consent or waiver of CITY's rights with respect to any subsequent act or omission by CONTRACTOR. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing.
7.9 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except as may be expressly set forth 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 or other rights or remedies as may be permitted by law or in equity shall not preclude the exercise by such party, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies to which such party may be entitled.

Subject: Third-Party Geotechnical Review, Updated Geotechnical Evaluation, Slope Repair, 715, 717, and 719 Avenida Columbo, of Tract 898, San Clemente, California Introduction
In accordance with your request, LGC Geotechnical has geotechnically reviewed the provided geotechnical response report (Nicoll, 2018e) to third-party geotechnical review comments regarding the proposed landslide repair west of 715, 717, and 719 Avenida Columbo of Tract 898, San Clemente, California (LGC Geotechnical, 2018c). Our review comments are based on the referenced documents and are in the context of our knowledge of the site and our experience in the vicinity of the site and with projects with similar geotechnical conditions.
Action
Geotechnical Report Recommended for Approval.
Geotechnical Report Recommended for Approval with the Following Conditions.
Geotechnical Report NOT Recommended for Approval and Requires Revisions and/or Additional Information. Please See Comments/Questions on the Following Page(s).
General Comment
It is and has been our opinion, that the model presented would be well served with additional subsurface evaluation and laboratory testing of the site materials to confirm the site conditions and parameters. This would enable “sizing” of the mitigation to be specific to the site conditions. Instead, it appears that the consultant has recommended a mitigation large enough, that any concerns regarding possible discrepancies in the model should inherently be mitigated. The consultant must still demonstrate, through appropriate analysis and utilizing justifiable parameters, that the completed site will be suitably stable for the reviewer to recommend the submittal for approval.
If the site geologic conditions are not well understood and soil parameters utilized in slope stability analysis are not representative of the actual site materials, the calculated factor of safety for temporary slope stability analysis could be misleading. Through appropriate analysis, utilizing justifiable parameters, the consultant 560
Project No. 10113-01 Page 2 October 19, 2018
must demonstrate that they understand and recognize the temporary stability risks and will address them appropriately.
It should be considered that ultimately a comprehensive geotechnical report will be needed for use during site grading. The multiple submittals to date, would not serve well as a suitable guide to addressing the geotechnical aspects of the project during site grading.
The following comments should be addressed regarding the proposed development at the site. Responses to comments should be distributed to the third-party geotechnical reviewer LGC Geotechnical, Inc. (1 copy) and to the City of San Clemente (2 copies).
Based on our review, we have prepared the following preliminary list of our comments regarding the subject grading to be addressed by the project geotechnical consultant. 1) For Geologic Cross-Section A-A’: the eastern limit of the landslide depicted on the cross-section does not match the limits on the geotechnical map, please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly.
2) The removal depths indicated on Cross-Sections A-A’ and G-G’, at their intersection are not consistent. Please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly. 3) For Geologic Cross-Section B-B’: the eastern limit of the landslide depicted on the cross-section does not match the limits on the geotechnical map, please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly. The revised section depicts a large portion of the landslide approximately 15-20’ shallower than previous; what new data justifies this revision? 4) The removal depths indicated on Cross-Sections B-B’ and G-G’, at their intersection are not consistent. Please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly. 5) The rupture surface depths indicated on Cross-Sections B-B’ and F-F’, at their intersection are not consistent. Please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly. 6) For Geologic Cross-Section C-C’: The cross-section and map both show proposed five to twentyfoot deep removals planned for Lot 6. Will temporary shoring be provided to protect the adjacent Lot 5 during remedial grading, which appears to be about ten feet higher in elevation than the subject lot? Please provide recommendations and parameters accordingly. 7) The removal depths indicated on Cross-Sections D-D’ and G-G’, at their intersection are not consistent. Please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly. 8) The rupture surfaces and removal depths indicated on Cross-Sections F-F’ and G-G’, at their intersection are not consistent. Please correct; please update the corresponding slope stability analysis accordingly.
9) The removal depths and key elevation indicated on Cross-Section G-G’ are not consistent with the Geotechnical Map. Please reconcile.
10) With respect to the response to previous Comment No. 16 (LGC Geotechnical, 2018c) addressing temporary stability, please discuss the assumption used in the temporary stability calculations that fill within the shear key grading has progressed to an approximate elevation of roughly 480 feet.
This appears to be an interim condition.
11) Our records indicate that several previous third-party reviews have been provided for the subject project. Please reference and acknowledge consideration and address of the previous review sheets and associated comments.
561
Project No. 10113-01 Page 3 October 19, 2018
12) Please provide a final summary table of soil strength parameters for site soils (e.g., compacted fill, bedrock along and cross bedding, etc.) utilized for design. The response to previous Comment No. 14 (LGC Geotechnical, 2018c) provided a summary of factors of safety with respect to varying shear strengths of compacted fill.
13) We are in agreement that a significant amount of import will be required for the proposed grading.
However, it also appears that much of the fill to be placed will be derived from onsite materials.
Please verify that the required increase in shear strength for compacted fill can be achieved by performing laboratory testing of site materials remolded to 92 percent relative compaction.
Laboratory testing should be per applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and industry standards. Laboratory testing should reflect the stress range of the proposed buttress fill. Please present laboratory test results in your response to this review sheet. 14) Based on the required shear strength necessitated by the slope stability analysis for the majority of the site fills, it would appear that specific requirements for imported material will be necessary.
Please provide a description of appropriate import material and explain the confirmational laboratory testing (type & frequency) to be performed to confirm compliance. 15) Please depict on the geotechnical map and applicable cross-sections the lateral and vertical extent of the area requiring an increased relative compaction criteria to 92 percent relative compaction. 16) The submittal indicates removals to bedrock material. Please provide temporary slope stability analysis for the condition with complete removal (i.e. no interim fill wedge to 480 feet). 17) Geotechnical consultant must review grading plans prior to construction to verify that their recommendations are implemented.
Limitations
Our limited evaluation of the subject report was intended to determine if the major geotechnical aspects of the project were reasonably analyzed and addressed within the general standard of care in our industry. No additional analysis nor independent investigation were performed. As with all geotechnical projects of this type, it is critical that the project geotechnical consultant confirm their provisional findings and recommendations during construction. The fact that we have reviewed the subject plans and report should not be considered an endorsement by LGC Geotechnical of these documents or of the construction operations that result from them.
Closure
Our services were performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable soils engineers and geologists practicing in this or similar localities. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the conclusions and professional advice included in this report.
It should be understood that LGC Geotechnical has relied on the accuracy of documents, verbal information, and other material and information provided by you and other associated parties in preparation of this report.
LGC Geotechnical makes no warranties or guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of information obtained from or compiled by others.

The geologic map, cross-sections and analysis should be updated as needed, as should the project findings, conclusions and recommendations. Please prepare additional cross-sections if warranted. Please include buried geologic units, contacts, faults, and attitudes on the revised geologic map.
2. Please include proposed design grades on geologic cross-sections. Slope stability analysis should be performed based on the proposed site conditions.
3. The geologic map and cross-sections provided in the subject evaluation report (Geotek, 2021) are not consistent with the findings on the reports boring and trench logs. Please reconcile and/or revise. In addition, the map and cross-sections should also be updated based on the consultant’s review of the attached report (Irvine, 1987). For example, but not limited to:
a. Existing landslide material was found in Boring B-1 to depths up to approximately 80 feet below existing grade over intact bedrock material. However, nearby trenches T-10 and T-11 suggests bedrock was encountered at a depth of approximately 4 feet below existing grade. Please reconcile.
b. Boring B-1 indicates landslide material was encountered to a depth of 80 feet below the surface. However, the Geotechnical Map from the attached report (Irvine, 1987) appears to indicate Monterey Formation bedrock should have been encountered at shallow depth. Please reconcile.
c. The geology depicted on Cross-Section C-C’ is not consistent with that presented on the Boring B-1 log. Please reconcile.
d. The depiction of Boring B-1 on Cross-Section C-C’ does not appear to be accurately located. Please reconcile.
e. The legend provided on Cross Section B-B’ includes “Qafu”, but “Qaf” is depicted on the section. Please reconcile.
4. Please provide two geologic cross-sections perpendicular to each other through the proposed industrial building. The cross-sections should depict the design grade, existing site topography, property lines, proposed improvements, geologic contacts, recommended remedial grading and temporary construction slopes. The cross sections should be of sufficient length to allow modelling and evaluation of nearby slopes.
5. Please provide toe of slope setback recommendations and comment on the project’s compliance with the setback.
6. The selection of slope stability shear strength parameters appears to be based on the approximate depth the laboratory test samples were obtained from. Based on review of the shear strength data, considerable variability in shear strength parameters (e.g., phi and c) 568
Project No. 19206Ǧ01 Page 3 April 29, 2021
within each unit was found with no particular correlation to depth. Additionally, it appears portions of the landslide material were reported to have higher shear strength parameters than the intact bedrock. Please provide engineering justification for the use of depth dependent shear strength parameters for slope stability calculations and/or revise the slope stability models and calculations assuming reasonable composite shear strength data, as necessary.
7. The boring logs and test pit logs suggests existing artificial fill soils are generally fine-grained.
However, the selected shear strength for the compacted artificial fill appears to represent a granular soil. Please review and justify the shear strength parameters used for artificial fill in the slope stability calculations based on the site soil conditions.
8. Please comment on the use of a cohesion intercept for the residual shear strength of a landslide rupture surface material.
9. Cross Section C-C’ and boring B-1 suggest buttressed landslide material with a rupture surface was left in place below the site; however, the slope stability calculations present only a circular search. Please perform pre-defined and block failure slope stability analysis searches along the rupture surface to determine the static and pseudo-static safety factors of the landslide block left in place below the site.
10. Based on the provided report (Irvine, 1987) and any other applicable available data, please evaluate and comment on the stability of the slope ascending from the southern portion of the site. In particular, evaluation of the stability of the slope should be performed in consideration of the proposed excavations into it and/or adjacent to it. Additional cross-sections and field work may be warranted to appropriately model and evaluate the conditions.
11. A retaining wall is proposed, cutting into the southern ascending slope, in close proximity to a water main and its easement. Please clarify how the wall type and construction method proposed will not encroach into the easement and will protect the easement and water line for both temporary and permanent conditions.
12. The outline of the site limits depicted on the historic aerial photographs of years 1938 and 1953 appear to be inaccurate. Please relocate.
13. The consultant should review the provided compaction report (Irvine, 1987) and comment if further quantitative analysis of the existing fill is warranted.
14. Please comment on the anticipated future settlement potential of the deep compacted artificial fill.
15. The consultant should perform confirmatory expansion index and corrosion (e.g., sulfate and chloride content) laboratory testing at the completion of grading to verify the preliminary foundation design findings and recommendations. Updated recommendations may be required.
16. The consultant should provide a statement indicating that impacts to adjacent (offsite) properties, slopes, structures and improvements as a result of site grading and construction are not anticipated or provide additional recommendations to protect these offsite improvements, as necessary.

Subject: ThirdǦParty Geotechnical Review of Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Duplex, 129 Avenida Florencia, San Clemente, California
Report: Global Geo-Engineering, Inc., 2021, Geotechnical Investigation Report Update, New Single-Family Residential Development, 129 Avenida Florencia, San Clemente, California, Project No. 1741-04, dated November 18, 2021.
Engineer: Mohan B. Upasani, GE 2301
Geologist: Allan Kazem
Introduction
In accordance with your request, LGC Geotechnical, Inc. has performed a third-party geotechnical review of the above-referenced report by Global Geo-Engineering, Inc., dated November 18, 2021. Our review comments are based on the referenced documents and are in the context of our knowledge of the site and our experience in the vicinity of the site and with projects with similar geotechnical conditions.
Action
Geotechnical Report Recommended for Approval.
Geotechnical Report Recommended for Approval with the Following Condition (see comments below).
Geotechnical Report NOT Recommended for Approval and Requires Revisions and/or Additional Information. Please See the Following Comments/Questions. 571
Project No. 19206Ǧ01 Page 2 April 7, 2022
Comments
1. The reviewed reports indicate that a landslide, spanning multiple lots, failed below the site in 1978. The landslide was an internal failure of a portion of a larger ancient landslide. Please provide information and documentation on how the landslide failure was mitigated.
2. Please update the project Geologic Map to include the proposed grading and construction for the proposed development. Please also include recommended remedial grading, temporary construction slopes, temporary and permanent shoring, and proposed and existing landslide mitigation measures.
3. Please update Cross-Section A-A’ to include the proposed grading and construction for the proposed development. Please also include recommended remedial grading, temporary construction slopes, temporary and permanent shoring, and proposed and existing landslide mitigation measures.
4. Please provide appropriately located and oriented, additional geologic cross-sections where significant excavation will be required in close proximity to property lines. The cross-sections shall depict the design grade, site topography, property lines, proposed improvements, existing offsite adjacent improvements, geologic contacts and structure, recommended remedial grading, temporary construction slopes, temporary and permanent shoring, and proposed and existing landslide mitigation measures.
5. The slope stability analysis provided is over 17 years old and does not reflect the proposed development. Updated slope stability analysis should be performed and demonstrate a suitable, post-development, factor of safety for both the ancient and recent landslides. The analysis should be performed based on the proposed grading and development of the site.
6. The proposed caisson design parameters should be incorporated into the slope stability analysis to demonstrate the impact the proposed caissons have on increasing the safety factor to acceptable levels.
7. Please perform slope stability analysis to demonstrate and provide appropriate recommendations and parameters to ensure that the proposed project shall not cause substantial risk or damage to the adjacent properties and improvements.
8. The bedding attitudes reported in the Capistrano Formational material are much steeper than typically encountered in this area. Please justify. Is there any concern that the steep bedding and “slight shearing” reported in bucket auger boring B-1 could be an indication of a deeper landslide?
9. The project development plans appear to depict the existing retaining wall, underlying undocumented fill and landslide debris, as well as undocumented fill and landslide debris to the south of the existing retaining wall as being left-in-place. Please comment on/discuss the suitability of this portion of the site.
10. The consultant should acknowledge and appropriately address the fact that the site is located in a Zone of Required Investigation for Earthquake-Induced Landslides for the Seismic Hazard Zone map for the Dana Point 7.5-minute quadrangle.
572
Project No. 19206Ǧ01 Page 3 April 7, 2022
11. Please comment on the use of site class “D” in lieu of site class “C” when considering the site is underlain by Capistrano formation bedrock at relatively shallow depths. Please update the seismic design parameters if necessary.
12. The recommendations for lateral earth pressures on retaining walls provided in the report appear to be suitable for granular soils and not highly expansive soil retaining wall backfill.
Please comment.
13. Please provide a horizontal span to apply the recommended differential static settlement.
14. Please clarify the statement:
“It should be noted that even with the deep caisson foundation, there may be a possibility of ground movement which could affect the performance of the proposed structures.”
15. Please clarify the statement:
“Any loosening of reworked or native material, consequent to the passage of construction traffic, weathering, etc., should be made good prior to further construction.”
16. Temporary and permanent shoring parameters and recommendations should be provided based on the on-site and off-site conditions. These should include consideration of the on-site and off-site left-in-place landslide debris, potential surcharge from detrimental structure within the landslide, of the rupture surface(s), and the steep bedrock bedding encountered.
Loading of adjacent structures should also be considered.
17. The geotechnical consultant must review and approve the final project plans (e.g., grading plans, foundation plans, shoring plans, retaining wall plans, etc.) in order to verify that the geotechnical recommendations have been appropriately incorporated and provide additional geotechnical recommendations or modifications to the geotechnical report, as necessary.
Limitations
Our limited evaluation of the subject report was intended to determine if the major geotechnical aspects of the project were reasonably analyzed and addressed within the general standard of care in our industry. No additional analysis nor independent investigation were performed. As with all geotechnical projects of this type, it is critical that the project geotechnical consultant confirm their provisional findings and recommendations during construction. The fact that we have reviewed the subject plans and report should not be considered an endorsement by LGC Geotechnical of these documents or of the construction operations that result from them. 573

Proposal, On-Call Geotechnical Plan Check Services 1
BACKGROUND AND APPROACH
Based on our review of the Request for Proposal, our experience working with the City of San Clemente, and our experience as geotechnical reviewers for similar agencies, our understanding of the City, the work to be done, and the goal objectives are as follows:
x The City is well-established, with a variety of development types, ranging from multifamily apartments to custom single-family residences, with retail, commercial, and master planned communities. The City’s geography ranges from beach-front property to hillside developments, with a variety of geologic and geotechnical challenges. x The City is seeking at least one consultant for on-call geotechnical plan check services, particularly consultants with review experience in hillside areas prone to landsliding.
These reviews will be performed by a Certified Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer licensed in the State of California. Review comments and fees will be prepared and distributed per the City’s requirements.
o In performing reviews for a variety of agencies, GMU has developed a review sheet form as well as a unique fee sheet that delivers the review comments in a clear and concise manner, and provides fees to City Staff at the time of the review for immediate tracking. This review sheet and fee sheet form are currently used for City of San Clemente reviews provided by GMU. Samples of these forms are included in this proposal in Appendix A, and discussed further in the Sample Plan Review Correction Lists and Forms section.
x Geotechnical plan check services will include planning, engineering, grading, and building permit submittals, including geotechnical review of reports, plans, calculations, and specifications for a variety of projects. These services may be done using plan software or other electronic means.
o GMU staff are comfortable with a variety of software programs, including Bluebeam. In addition, we are familiar with agency portals such as EPL, etc.
Should the City request GMU perform reviews using specific software programs, GMU is prepared to utilize the systems requested.
x Awarded consultants will be expected to provide exemplary customer service within the specified review time period. GMU is dedicated to providing excellent service to all of our clients. This will be further discussed in the Methodology section, and can be verified by contacting the references we provide in this proposal. x GMU has worked on many projects within and adjacent to the City of San Clemente, including the Cypress Shores landslide, Talega, the Sea Pointe Estates landslide (west of Camino de las Mares), Miramar Theater, La Pata Avenue extension, Interstate 5 widening, Villa Pacifica slope failure, and landslide complex studies within Prima Deshecha landfill; however, currently we do not have projects of significance within the City and do not anticipate conflicts of interest during the duration of this contract.
Should a project arise that could potentially result in a conflict, our policy is to discuss this potential conflict with City Staff so that an alternative plan for review of any permits may be established prior to permit application submittal. 581
Proposal, On-Call Geotechnical Plan Check Services 2
METHODOLOGY
We propose to continue to provide geotechnical plan check services to the City of San Clemente using the same methodology and work plan that we currently utilize for the City. Our goal is to provide a complete geotechnical review based on current Codes, Agency manuals, regulations, and industry standards in south Orange County.
Our review methods are a team effort; GMU’s geologist and engineer typically review the submittal separately, and then meet to discuss any comments or concerns. In some cases, submittals may only require review by our Geologist; in these cases, both time and cost can be saved. Some projects may require multiple discussions, and complex projects often require in-house discussion between geologist and engineer prior to review. These projects with complex or high-profile elements are often overseen by our President and Principal Geotechnical Engineer as a quality control measure. If necessary, questions or observations of the report or plans will be conveyed to City Staff during the review process.
GMU takes a proactive stance on the review process and welcomes discussion with consultants, engineers, applicants, and City Staff. With Staff permission, we will review draft responses submitted by email, particularly for difficult projects. This draft review often expedites response turnaround times and also the overall geotechnical approval of submittals, providing a better service to applicants.
Another aspect of our plan check service methodology is to provide a clear and concise format for review comments, as shown in the sample review sheets attached to this proposal in Appendix A. In addition, GMU has developed a fee sheet format that provides our fees in a cumulative spreadsheet to City Staff at the time of the review for more efficient tracking and processing of fees and maintenance of deposit accounts.
In addition to the above, we also currently provide additional services to our agency clients including attendance at meetings with applicants and project teams, Planning Commission and Council meetings, as well as site meetings and emergency response during rain events or slope movement issues.
WORK PLAN
The work plan for our review process is proposed to continue as follows:
1. Immediately upon receipt of submittal, package is logged into our electronic database, tagged with the due date, and placed in a specific file in the Project Manager’s office. a. Note that for all agency clients, including San Clemente, our turnaround times are:
i. New submittal – 10 working days
ii. Response – 5 working days
2. The submittal is given an initial review by the Project Manager within 3 working days.
At this time, it may be decided that the review can be completed by only one reviewer, saving time and cost in the review process.
582
Proposal, On-Call Geotechnical Plan Check Services 3
3. Geologist review is completed within 7 working days.
4. Engineer review is completed within 9 working days, concurrent with geology review.
5. Deliverable – Review sheet and fee sheet is finalized within 10 working days and distributed per the City’s requirements.
a. Note that currently, GMU distributes the review and fee sheet to City Staff via email.
b. We prefer to use electronic distribution where possible and where approved by the agency, and are also familiar with uploading to portals such as Bluebeam Studio, Sharepoint, etc.
6. Response review times are shortened to meet the 5 working day deadline.
7. In general, 100 percent of this work will be performed at our office in Rancho Santa Margarita.
PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING
The Project Manager and key contact for these on-call services will continue to be Ms. Lisa Bates, PG, CEG, QSD, QSP, Associate Geologist/Director of Municipal Geotechnical and Engineering Services. Lisa currently fulfills this role for all agency reviews by GMU, including San Clemente, and has performed this role for the past 19 years. Lisa’s responsibilities for this work will include tracking incoming submittals, performing geologic reviews, tracking engineering review timelines, and ensuring the review is completed within the turnaround time.
Lisa will also contact City Staff with any issues or concerns in regards to any submittals. GMU strives to minimize the support required of City Staff; however, basic information for each review will be required, such as permit number, address, project description, and applicant contact information. Lisa also provides additional services such as attendance at meetings, conference calls, emergency needs, or any other geotechnical services that may assist the City.
The Reviewing Engineer for this work will continue to be Mr. David Hansen, M.Sc., PE, GE, Associate Engineer. David currently provides this role for most agency reviews by GMU, and has performed engineering reviews for agencies for over 19 years.

SAMPLE PLAN REVIEW CORRECTION LISTS AND FORMS
We have provided sample correction lists in Appendix A for a variety of permit types, including:
x Building permits – retaining walls, foundation underpinning, swimming pools x Grading permits – multi-family residential, retail/commercial x Planning/Engineering/Grading - Landslide repairs and complex slope stability issues Also included in this Appendix is a sample of the fee sheet developed by GMU, currently used for City of San Clemente reviews.
In addition, GMU has assisted City clients in developing various guidelines, memos, and handouts for applicants to streamline the permit application process. Examples of these guidelines are also included in Appendix A. We have found the use of these guidelines assists applicants and their consultants in understanding what needs to be submitted, as well as expediting our review process by using the guidelines as a review checklist.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
As discussed, our typical turnaround times for existing review clients, including the City of San Clemente, is 10 working days for new submittals, and 5 working days for subsequent response submittals. We are prepared to continue to provide these same turnaround times to the City of San Clemente for typical reviews, shortening the schedule requirements within the RFP by several days. Expedited reviews can be performed upon request by City Staff at no additional charge.
COST DATA
Our experience with providing a variety of review and plan check services to various agencies over the past several decades tells us that review/plan check time and cost varies widely by type of project and the complexity of the design and underlying geotechnical conditions. We provide these services via both hourly rate and flat fee, depending on negotiations with the agency.
Currently, reviews for the City of San Clemente vary from flat fee to hourly fees. GMU is prepared to continue to provide services based on the current Engineering Fee Schedule. Below are cost ranges for the most common types of project permits.

COMMENTS
1. The report provides recommendations that are based on the 2019 CBC rather than the current 2022 CBC. Either revise the report to reflect the 2022 CBC or provide a statement that the recommendations of the report are also applicable to the 2022 CBC.
2. The seismic design parameters are based on Soil Class C; however, no deep exploration was performed to determine the shear wave values or the N values of the onsite soils with depth.
Therefore, the seismic design parameters should be re-evaluated based on Soil Class D.
3. The report does not describe the total height of the adjacent descending slope and the geologic sections do not show the slope all the way to its toe. Therefore, please provide the overall height of the slope (H) and the recommended corresponding slope setback distance (H/3) to meet current CBC slope setback requirements.
4. The report states that monitoring indicates that the site is experiencing lateral movement due to possible residual movement of the landslide mass. No evidence was provided to indicate that this movement has ceased and will not continue; therefore, will any mitigating measures be required such as flexible connections for utility lines running from the residence into the adjacent street or a mat or post-tension foundation system for the proposed residence?
5. The retaining wall proposed along the southern side of the site and up against the existing property line wall will need to be constructed in sections using slot cutting. Coordinate with the project civil engineer to add a note to the grading plans stating that this wall should be constructed in sections using slot cutting. In addition, the backcut behind the wall cannot be laid back to place non-expansive soil to a distance of H/2 behind the wall as shown on Figure 2 of the wall. Therefore, please provide a revised active earth pressure for this retaining wall that is based on native moderately expansive soil backfill rather than imported non-expansive soil.
6. The geotechnical consultant should review the finalized grading plans, retaining wall structural plans and calculations, and building foundation plans and calculations for conformance with the parameters and recommendations of their geotechnical report, supplemental report and forthcoming response letter. Once approved, the geotechnical consultant should stamp and sign the plans. This may be a condition of approval.

COMMENTS
1. Section DR-DR' of Plate 2 of the rough grading plan review report indicates that for the short term, the toe of the existing westerly ascending gravity buttress fill will be removed during the proposed 5-foot-deep over-excavation of the building pad and for the long-term will be partially removed when the pad is brought down to a lower grade using a retaining wall. Therefore, address the temporary stability of the slope at this location during the over-excavation of the site and address the long-term stability of the slope with the grade lowered by the retaining wall.
Provide supporting temporary and long-term stability calculations, as necessary.
2. In a similar manner, please address the temporary stability of the westerly ascending slope at the location of Section G-G during the over-excavation of the site and the temporary stability of the northerly ascending slope at the northern end of Section E-E' during the over-excavation of the site and the construction of the proposed tiered retaining walls. Provide supporting temporary stability calculations, as necessary.
3. Please review the precise grading plans, including the MSE wall plans, after they have been revised to satisfy the first round of plan check comments. Provide a summary of the review and provide any additional or revised geotechnical recommendations, as necessary.
4. Please provide updated monitoring results (including inclinometers within the property).
5. Please coordinate with the civil engineer to show all corrective grading on the civil sections.
6. Please provide the laboratory testing program for the MSE wall backfill, including types of testing and frequency. This testing program should be added to the MSE wall plans as a note.
7. Please provide discussion and supporting data for the shear strengths used in the MSE wall backcut stability analysis.
8. Per Condition of Approval 14 of Resolution 22-15, a series of slope inclinometers shall be installed on the slope (i.e., gravity buttress toe) and monitored during construction. Please provide recommendations for installation, including locations and depths.

4. Alluvium/colluvium is given symbol “Qac” in text of report and Geotechnical Map Explanation, but symbol “Qal” on Geotechnical Map. Please revise to be consistent. Also please indicate on Pg. 9 of report if these soil materials are considered suitable or not for support of the planned grading.
5. GeoTek appears to conclude that slope drains do not affect the underlying groundwater conditions (pg. 12), which is in contrast with prior studies by SMC and Earth Forensics. If this is the case, please discuss and reconcile this discrepancy with supporting data and analysis.
6. Offsite landslides and surficial slumps are described to the west/uphill from the proposed development. Pg. 11 of report indicates that similar landslide features to the south of the site occurred as “fluid (mudflow)” failures. Describe, analyze, and quantify the potential for similar failures on the westerly slope, along with mitigation measures for protecting the streets and homes at the toe of this slope.
7. Settlement: Please address settlement/subsidence/compressibility of the underlying landslide debris when subjected to the loading from proposed fills (including settlement magnitude, time duration, etc.). Provide quantitative evaluation or technical justification. 601

8. Slope Stability (general):
a. Stability analyses was performed for overall global stability of the site; however, additional stability analysis needs to be performed for each interior slope shown on the cross sections to confirm the size and depth of proposed interior keyways and buttresses, etc. The search windows should be narrowed to specifically evaluate each interior slope. b. Add/incorporate specific Qls rupture surfaces shown on the cross sections in the stability analyses. Numerous rupture surfaces are shown on the cross sections and these need to be analyzed with adopted strengths of 12.5 degrees friction and 250 psf cohesion. It should be clear that the rupture surfaces on the maps/sections were evaluated for stability. c. For translational/block stability analyses, submitted analyses do not follow geologic structures (i.e., rupture surfaces do not run along landslide rupture surfaces or relic bedding orientations). Please search for various failures along specified landslide rupture surfaces and relic bedding orientations (i.e., along-bedding) using the rupture surface shear strengths. Block searches should be set up in a manner that searches for likely/reasonable failure surfaces which are governed by geologic conditions such as rupture surface and/or geologic structure. Deep seated landslide analyses should be consistent with prior analyses prepared by SMC as part of the entitlement phase of the project. d. Pg. 22 of the report states that temporary front and backcut inclinations of 1:1 were analyzed. This is not consistent with front and backcuts shown on the cross sections. Please reconcile sections and analyses.
9. Strength model:
a. For revised shear strength for across-bedding condition in landslide block, Figure 4.7.2-4 is discussed on Pg. 17 of report, but figure is missing. b. Provide further and specific justification for increasing the cohesion values for landslide block, along and across bedding.
10. Cross Section A:
a. The recommended buttress widths and depths in the text do not match the cross section or Plate 8.
b. Deformation analysis: Show zone of seismic FS<1.1 on Geotechnical Map and clarify which Lot(s) this condition applies to. Seismic FS<1.1 does not meet City of Laguna Niguel standards and will therefore require a deviation request. c. Lime treatment area is very close to slope face. Please confirm if this is recommended and justify.

27. Lime Treatment of Soils:
a. Discuss effects of permeability of lime-treated soils on groundwater migration. b. Given that lime treatment is shown extending at or near slope face in several areas, discuss impacts on slope maintenance, slope landscaping, slope irrigation, slope drainage, etc. c. Report Pg. 21 indicates average sulfate content and concludes “Low concern”. However, some samples (and presumably some portions of the site) have “Moderate concern”. Do low concern and moderate concern still present a concern for swell potential? Please provide clear conclusions and recommendations for mitigation to avoid swell given the site conditions.
d. Further describe placement of subdrain system on top of lime treatment zones and drainage of these zones to areas that will be able to receive perched groundwater. These zones need to be placed deep enough to allow drains on top and not be in conflict with utilities, MSE walls, building foundations, etc.
e. Provide clear conclusions that the recommended lime treatment will not have any adverse impact to site stability, groundwater migration, heave/swell, etc.
28. MSE Walls:
a. Show proposed MSE walls on all sections where they occur. b. Provide global stability analyses for MSE walls.
c. MSE walls occur as part of Rough Grading and therefore need to be addressed with final design details, including full design recommendations and geotechnical, civil, and structural design plans.
29. Buried Pier Wall: Given that the proposed Rough Grading and related slope stability is dependent on the buried per wall for stability, full design details and plans will be required as part of Rough Grade permit application. Include geotechnical, civil, and structural design plans and specifications.
30. Inclinometers:
a. Inclinometer recommendations should be incorporated into text of report rather than within the Groundwater Monitoring Appendix E.

32. Subdrains:
a. Eastern subdrain system ends at a low point with no connection to the outlet. Please clarify recommendation.
b. Subdrain system shows “outlet to be determined”. Please clarify recommendations to confirm feasible outlet location.
33. Temporary Excavations:
a. Report describes maximum 20-ft high slopes which will not work with the proposed keyway elevations. Please clarify.
b. Construction sequence for westerly buttress indicates 100-ft vertical excavation which is not consistent with cross sections or stability analysis. Please reconcile text, map, sections, and stability analyses.
c. Construction sequence for westerly buttress indicates ramps to be no steeper than 3:1.
Flatter ramps would expose more backcut, which is undesirable. Please clarify if recommendation is to have ramps no flatter than 3:1.
34. Shrink/Bulk: Provide detailed estimation of shrink and bulk quantities (CY) to assist the project civil engineer in designing a balanced site with reduced import/export. Volume estimate should be provided in geotechnical report and Rough Grade plans.
35. Setbacks: Applicant should review setback criteria and confirm the intended future housing will be feasible with the required setbacks which can be up to 40-ft high for tall descending slopes.
36. Retaining Wall Design:
a. Provide quantification to show if there will be enough crushed misc. base generated onsite to satisfy the wall backfill volume needed. Or clarify if additional select fill will need to be imported.
b. Use of CMB derived from existing asphalt may not be suitable for placement as a drainage material behind retaining walls due to environmental concerns. Please clarify recommendations.
c. Please justify revised design parameters that appear high based on the onsite soil engineering characteristics (passive pressure, coefficient of friction, earth pressures).
Provide calculations to justify the parameters.
d. Seismic pressure indicates level backfill. Please clarify if this applies to both sloping and level backfill, since sloping backfill conditions exist onsite.
