ANALYSIS:
Bus shelters provide numerous benefits in a city. They offer protection from the elements, making waiting for a bus more comfortable and encouraging greater use of public transit. Bus shelters can improve safety by providing a designated waiting area, reducing exposure to traffic and potential accidents. Additionally, they serve as a space for information, displaying schedules and route maps, which helps riders plan their journeys more effectively. Aesthetically, well-designed bus shelters can contribute to the urban landscape, fostering a sense of community and improving the city's appeal. Overall, bus shelters play a crucial role in promoting sustainable transportation options and enhancing the quality of urban life.
The Bus Shelter Construction Project is a federally funded project through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5309 - Capital Investment Grants Program. The FTA Section 5309 - Capital Investment Grants Program is a discretionary competitive grant program that provides funding for transit capital investments including heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, streetcars, bus rapid transit, and bus stop improvements. The City received $313,520 in grant funding leaving a funding gap of $107,276 for construction. Additional funding sources used for the project included Proposition C, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Measure M funds.
This project consisted of upgrades to eight (8) existing trolley stops (Attachment “B”) to improve the quality and comfort of riders. The upgraded trolley stop locations included:
1. Maclay Ave. and Eighth St.
2. Seventh St. and Harding Ave.
3. Harding Ave. between Warren St. and Glenoaks Blvd.
4. Maclay Ave. and De Haven St.
5. Brand Blvd. and Third St.
6. Brand Blvd. and Hollister St.
7. San Fernando Mission Blvd. and Hollister St.
8. Hollister St. and Kalisher St.
The trolley stop modifications involved the replacement of deteriorated concrete sidewalks, drive approaches, wheelchair ramps, and asphalt pavement sections; adjustment to grade of pull boxes to make flush with surrounding pavement; removal and relocation of bus benches; installation of bus shelters with lighting and benches; root pruning; and miscellaneous related work.
January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 306 of 600 Consideration to Accept Project Completion and Authorize the Recordation of a Notice of Completion for the Bus Shelter Construction Project, Job No. 7609
There were no change orders issued for the project. Staff inspected and confirmed that the Contractor completed the project in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. Staff therefore recommends filing a Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for this project was included in the FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget. Several funding sources, including FTA Section 5309 Grant, Proposition C, ARPA, and Measure M were utilized to complete this project. The total construction cost of $375,542 was under the total approved budget with contingencies of $420,795.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements as constructed by R.C. Becker, Inc., consider the work completed, authorize the issuance and filing of the “Notice of Completion,” and authorize the release of the a five (5) percent retention amount ($18,777.09) after the 35-day lien period from the date the Notice of Completion is recorded.

Subject: Consideration to Reject Construction Bids for the Calles Verdes Project, Job No. 7605, Plan No. P-727
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council reject all construction bidsreceived for the Calles Verdes Project, Job No. 7605, Plan No. P-727.
BACKGROUND:
1. In 2016, the City was contacted by TreePeople regarding the City’s interest in participating in a grant project to fund storm water capture features within City properties and the public right-of-way (e.g., parking lots, parks, street curbs, etc.) and planting trees throughout the City. Since this met the City Council’s Strategic Goal of increasing water conservation efforts through grant funding with minimal financial impact on the City, the City agreed to partner with TreePeople to pursue the opportunity.
2. In February 2017, the State Coastal Conservancy authorized the disbursement of up to $111,771 to TreePeople to plan and prepare designs, environmental analyses, and permit applications for “Phase One” of the Calles Verdes Project.
3. On September 18, 2017, the City Council received a presentation from TreePeople regarding the San Fernando Calles Verdes Project and provided direction.
4. On November 9, 2017, TreePeople hosted a public meeting to educate the public on the proposed elements of the project and received feedback.
5. In September 2018, the State Coastal Conservancy authorized the disbursement of up to $1,100,000 to TreePeople for “Phase Two” of the Calles Verdes Project to prepare final designs and permits for, and to construct, a green infrastructure project which includes the planting of 750 trees throughout the City.

P-727
6. On January 26, 2019, the City and TreePeople kicked off the first phase of the tree planting element of the Calles Verdes Project which included the planting of 16 trees within Pioneer Park and providing 330 fruit trees to residents of the City.
7. On February 4, 2019, the City and TreePeople entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (Contract No. 1904) (Attachment “D”) to facilitate tree plantings, tree care, and design of storm water infiltration at multiple locations within the City, under State Coastal Conservancy grant number 18-051 obtained by TreePeople for the Calles Verdes Project.
8. From 2019 to 2022, the project experienced an extended pause as a result of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The crisis created significant constraints—including staffing shortages and field work disruptions—that made continued progress unfeasible. Once conditions normalized and resources were restored in 2023, the project was reactivated and design continued.
9. On September 18, 2025, the City issued the Notice of Inviting Bids for the Calles Verdes Project and posted the solicitation on the City website.
10. On October 30, 2025, the City received four (4) bid proposals for construction of the Calles Verdes Project.
ANALYSIS:
The Calles Verdes Project is an initiative designed to strengthen San Fernando’s environmental resilience while improving daily life for its residents. By expanding green infrastructure—such as bioswales, vegetative curb extensions, and new tree plantings—the project reduces stormwater runoff, restores natural groundwater recharge, and revitalizes soil health with native vegetation.
At the same time, it combats the Urban Heat Island effect by growing the urban forest across streets, parks, and public spaces, creating cooler, cleaner air and more inviting neighborhoods.
Through community engagement, hands‑on workshops, and leadership training, Calles Verdes also builds long‑term stewardship of the city’s natural assets. Ultimately, the project enhances public health and quality of life by making walking and biking safer and more comfortable, ensuring a greener, healthier, and more connected future for the City. As of December 2024, TreePeople, in collaboration with community volunteers, exceeded the project goal by planting more than 1,200 trees throughout parkways within the City.
TreePeople allocated $489,058 from the State Coastal Conservancy grant specifically for construction of the Calles Verdes Project. In September 2025, TreePeople provided the City 100% design plans, specifications, and construction documents for the project. The Calles Verdes Project scope of work includes a cooling pavement, landscaping and irrigation, and rewiring the electrical conduit in Parking Lot No. 4 (corner of Truman and Brand). It also includes parkway swales on S. Maclay Avenue from Mott Street to Pico Street, bulb-outs with landscaping on S.

P-727
Maclay Avenue at Pico Street and Celis Street, and bulb-outs with landscaping on S. Brand Boulevard at Hollister Street, Pico Street, and Celis Street.
On September 18, 2025, the City published the Notice of Inviting Bids (Attachment “A”) for the Calles Verdes Project on the City website and in the San Fernando Valley Sun on September 25, 2025. The City received four (4) sealed bids for the Calles Verdes Project by the posted due date and time of Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 11:00 am. The following table summarizes the bids received for the project:
Company City Amount
FS Contractors, Inc. Sylmar, CA $ 541,000
RC Becker Inc. Santa Clarita, CA $ 1,228,312
Fredrick Towers, Inc. La Crescenta, CA $ 1,831,421
Palp Inc. dba Excel Paving Long Beach, CA $ 2,438,800
On November 3, 2025, FS Contractors, Inc., the lowest bidder, submitted a written request to withdraw its bid due to a clerical errorin preparing its proposal (Attachment “B”). With the lowest bid withdrawn, the remaining bids exceeded the available grant funding of $489,058.
Additionally, all bids as provided, exceeded the engineer’s estimates.
On November 4, 2025, the City and TreePeople met to discuss the bid results and bid withdrawal from FS Contractors, Inc. Given the limited construction budget of $489,058, the City and TreePeople determined that the project scope must be reduced to remain within available funding. As a result, TreePeople elected to eliminate the cool pavement slurry treatment in Parking Lot No. 4 and the parkway swales along S. Maclay Avenue between Pico Street and Mott Street. In turn staff, recommend City Council reject all bids per San Fernando Municipal Code Section 2-827 (Attachment “C”), which will thereafter allow a new notice inviting bids with the revised scope to be released.
TreePeople agreed to take the lead in re-advertising the revised project and awarding the construction contract. Once the contract is awarded, TreePeople will notify the City regarding the anticipated start of construction.

Subject: Consideration to Award a Contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Design Services for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Award a Professional Services Contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Attachment “A” – Contract No. 2470) for design services such as High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks (HAWK) at Glenoaks Boulevard and Fifth Street crossings, irrigation, landscaping, fence upgrades, pedestrian lights, benches, and park and bikeway monuments for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project, in an amount not-to-exceed $349,440; and b. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute contract and all related documents.
BACKGROUND:
1. In April 2022, through former Assemblymember Luz Rivas (District 39), the City submitted a $7,500,000 budget request to the State Assembly for funding the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project, which included a pedestrian bridge, improvement to the Pacoima Wash Bikeway, and improvement to the Pacoima Wash Natural Park.
2. On July 29, 2022, the City and former Assemblymember Luz Rivas hosted a joint Press Conference at the Pacoima Wash Natural Park to celebrate the approval of funds and to bring community awareness to the project.
3. On June 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8234 accepting and appropriating grant funds for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project, in the amount of $7,500,000.
January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 335 of 600 Consideration to Approve a Contract to Kimley-Horn for Design Services for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project
4. On October 25, 2024, the City officially opened the Pacoima Wash Bikeway to the community.
However, the contractor has been retained to address final punch list items. The Notice of Completion for Phase I is anticipated to be presented to City Council Spring 2026.
5. On October 15, 2025, the City posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Design Services for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project on the City website and submitted to a list of bidders on file with the City. In addition, the City also sent the RFP to consultants that have submitted proposals to the City regarding other projects.
ANALYSIS:
The existing Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project (Phase I) features a Bicycle/Pedestrian Path along the Pacoima Wash from Fourth Street to Eighth Street in the City of San Fernando with a pedestrian bridge connecting the path to the Cindy Montañez Natural Park (formerly Pacoima Wash Natural Park). The pedestrian bridge provides a safe connection between Cesar Chavez Learning Academy High School and the residential neighborhoods near the Cindy Montañez Natural Park. This phase of the project is nearing completion, with project noticing to be anticipated within the next 90 days.
The Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project (Phase 2) includes enhancements that were identified during the initial community outreach, as well as meeting for the 2018 Safe and Active Streets Plan but were not in Phase I due to funding constraints. The amenities that were unfunded in Phase 1 to be incorporated in Phase 2 include landscaping, irrigation, modernized crosswalks at Glenoaks Boulevard and Fifth Street crossings, benches, fence upgrades, sidewalk improvements, lighting, park and bikeway monuments as well as signage. The Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project exemplifies efforts to promote active transportation, enhance community connectivity, and provide residents with safe, accessible routes for walking and cycling, surrounded by green space. By transforming a once-divisive flood control channel into a unifying greenway, the project aims to improve public health, environmental quality, and overall quality of life in the community.
On October 29, 2025, proposals were due, and the City received four (4) proposals for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project. The following table summarizes the submittals received for the project:
Company City Amount
Willdan City of Industry, CA $ 377,924
Dake Landscape Los Angeles, CA $ 452,400
SALT Landscape Architect Los Angeles, CA $ 598,274

A selection committee made up of qualified City staff was convened to review submitted proposals. After careful review and analysis by the committee, the proposals were ranked as shown below:
Ranking Company Amount
1 Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. $ 349,440
2 Willdan $ 377,924
3 SALT Landscape Architect $ 598,274
4 Dake Landscape $ 452,400
The selection committee unanimously concluded Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., was the most qualified for the design project based on their clear understanding of the scope of work and extensive knowledge to integrate key design components into the project. Kimley-Horn has demonstrated understanding of the City and its needs through previous work with designing the Maclay Avenue Streetscape from First Street to Eighth Street including the archway monument at Maclay Avenue and Eighth Street.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Design for Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project
1. Introduction
The City of San Fernando is soliciting proposals from qualified and licensed Engineering/Landscape Architect firms to provide a professional design services for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project. The project encompasses enhancements to Cindy Montanez Natural Park and the Pacoima Wash Bikeway.
The scope of services includes, but are not limited to, geotechnical services, survey services, preparation of construction documents (plans, specifications, cost estimate), and support during bidding and construction phase. The City has allocated approximately $2.75 million for construction.
2. Project Background
The Pacoima Wash is a channelized tributary of the Los Angeles River. The Wash currently divides San Fernando and Pacoima resulting in unsafe pedestrian crossings of the 65-foot wide channel, or forcing cyclists and pedestrians into highly trafficked roadways with no bike/pedestrian facilities. The Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project has been in construction since March 2023 and will present opportunities for connecting communities in the Northeast San Fernando Valley.
The existing Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project (Phase I) features a 12-foot wide, 1.3 miles long Class I Bicycle/Pedestrian Path along the Pacoima Wash from Fourth Street to Eighth Street in the City of San Fernando, with a pedestrian bridge connecting the path to the Cindy Montanez Natural Park. The pedestrian bridge provides a safe connection between Cesar Chavez Learning Academy High School and the residential neighborhoods near the Cindy Montanez Natural Park. It includes lighting and fencing for safe access, as well as signage. A bioretention swale along the bikeway is a nature-based approach to treating stormwater runoff, and allowing for the potential of groundwater infiltration. The project is an example of how to connect the community to healthier, active transportation modes, provide a sense of connection to the outdoors, and provide many opportunities to educate on the importance of sustainable water management practices.
The Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project (Phase 2) includes enhancements that were identified during the initial community outreach and scoping, as well as the scoping meetings for the 2018 Safe and Active Streets Plan, but are not in Phase I due to funding constraints. These enhancements include • Shade Trees (250 each- 15 gallon)
• Shrubs (500 each-5 gallon) and Grasses ( 400 each-I gallon) • Mulch (100 cubic yards)
• Irrigation System - Complete
• High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks (HA WK) at Glenoaks Boulevard and Fifth Street crossings • Sidewalk (30,000 square feet)

RE: Proposal for the Design for the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project Dear Ms. Orozco and Members of the Selection Committee :
The Pacoima Wash Vision Plan was completed in 2008 to revitalize the Pacoima Wash and create an important community asset that would improve wildlife habitat, provide access to new recreational amenities, and create a safer, healthier, more sustainable community. The Plan identified several infrastructure projects that would help bring the Vision to fruition, including the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project—an effort which the City of San Fernando (City) now endeavors to complete. With goals of promoting active transportation, enhancing community connectivity, and improving public health, environmental quality, and overall quality of life, the City needs a consultant partner who understands and prioritizes safety, sustainability, and active transportation needs. Kimley-Horn is that partner.
The Kimley-Horn team offers you a range of unique benefits that set us apart, including:
Hands-On Experience with the Pacoima Wash Vision Plan. Kimley-Horn is currently leading the implementation of the Pacoima Wash Vision Plan for the nearby City of Los Angeles (LA). Having completed the PA&ED for the Telfair Avenue Multimodal Bridge over the Pacoima Wash, Kimley-Horn was recently selected by the City of Los Angeles to deliver the PS&E phase. In addition, Kimley-Horn led the design and construction of two bridge safety railing and fencing projects completed along the Pacoima Wash, at Foothill Boulevard and Laurel Canyon Road. It has always been our intention to holistically approach the ongoing work within the Pacoima Wash—by leveraging this invaluable past experience with the Vision Plan, the Kimley-Horn team will be able to hit the ground running on this connectivity project, saving you time and resources from start to finish.
Tailored Team to Meet Your Needs. Led by seasoned project manager Steven Anderson, PE, PMP, the Kimley-Horn team brings you the right people, the right local experience, and the right technical expertise to make this project a success. Our civil, traffic, stormwater/drainage, and landscape architecture leads are all in-house, which will help reduce the time and resources needed to coordinate the successful application of these core services throughout the life of the project.

Active Transportation Planning and Design
Kimley-Horn is dedicated to improving safety for people who travel using different modes. We recognize the importance of planning and designing for people who travel sustainably by walking, biking, or taking transit.
We employ cutting-edge techniques to accommodate and encourage more sustainable forms of travel and reduce conflicts with vehicles. Safety concerns are one of the most common factors that discourage people from walking or biking. Our safety planning and design experience helps us understand how to decrease the level of traffic stress (LTS), enhance safety in high-risk areas, and encourage mode-shift.
Our team members have led numerous pedestrian and bicycle planning and design projects throughout the country, from single-intersection bike lane improvements to safe routes to school programs and active transportation master plans with miles of protected bikeways. In fact, the Kimley-Horn team has designed over 200 miles of bicycle trail facilities in California! Our team also understands the integrated nature of transportation, mobility, and land use, and our collective expertise enables us to view projects from a “360-degree” view. Our team has developed comprehensive land use and transportation policy plans for numerous jurisdictions throughout California and are well-versed in new legislative requirements.

Street and Site Lighting Design
One of the key parts of our electrical
engineering practice is lighting systems.
Kimley-Horn has performed lighting analyses
as well as design and lighting control
systems using Illuminating Engineering
Society (IES), International Building Code
(IBC), International Energy Compliance (IEC)
design standards, and Federal Roadway
Lighting Handbook standards to address
street lighting, transit shelter lighting, roadway
safety lighting, pedestrian level lighting,
parking/area lighting, and interior lighting
across the country.
Kimley-Horn staff are thoroughly experienced
with incorporating the requirements that
govern the installation of electrical conduit
into our designs. Our electrical engineers
bring a local understanding of the
coordination with local utilities and power
services provided. Key services provided by
our electrical engineers include roadway
lighting and design outdoor lighting
applications, and lighting protection design.
Our specialists design and select light
fixtures that are thematically and
functionally suitable for each project.
Appropriate lighting—both aesthetically and
functionally—can help provide clarity of
directional cues for cars, bicyclists, and
pedestrians. The appropriate level of lighting
in public spaces results in a fixture quantity,
enhancing the overall design experience and
providing user security, while not spilling over
adjacent uses.
Landscape Architecture
Kimley-Horn has a well-earned reputation for combining creative ideas, technical excellence, and client collaboration, resulting in dynamic projects that blend into their environments and become a part of the area they inhabit. Our landscape architects have a diverse range of experience, from corridor plans and downtown streetscape programs to parks and recreation planning. As metropolitan urban areas continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and transportation system designs and infrastructure improvements in general. Revitalizing commercial districts, controlling traffic flows, and providing recreational areas and pedestrian and bicycle facilities in increasingly congested areas are just a small sample of the solutions designed by our landscape architects and planners.

Drainage and Stormwater Management
Kimley-Horn’s drainage engineering services include the design of drainage structures, storm drain pipes, canals, detention basins, culvert crossings, water control structures, diversion structures, and more. In addition to the design of gravity systems, our team is fully versed in the design of stormwater pump stations as well as associated electrical and mechanical systems and real-time controls. Such experience will allow the City to achieve the greatest stormwater performance possible from its existing infrastructure while minimizing long-term maintenance requirements. Where necessary, our team brings other pertinent support services such as floodplain analysis, mapping, and FEMA coordination occasionally required for projects involving the stabilization or retrofit of existing channels. Representative projects range in size from one to more than 130,000 acres, and 6” to 120” DBL storm drains. Our staff has the knowledge to develop stormwater BMPs and make efficient upgrades to mitigate existing drainage issues for better stormwater flow.
Utility Design Coordination
Every project is unique and presents its own special design challenges; however, the most frequent challenge we face in local municipal projects is related to existing utilities. Most roadway projects are located in developed areas where utility facilities are currently within the proposed project area and any improvement will generally affect or be affected by the location of the utility facilities. Kimley-Horn believes in drawing all utility lines and features to their true size in our plans to aid in identifying conflicts early in the design phase; potholing potential conflict locations to confirm the locations of the existing lines; and extensive coordination with the various utility companies. We also use 3D modeling of utilities to identify potential conflicts. This method has helped us to avoid discrepancies between construction documents and actual field conditions that resulted in execution of projects in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Visualization/Graphic Design
To begin transforming ideas into realities and to generate enthusiasm for possibilities, our team uses cuttingedge visualization and photo simulation techniques. Our visualizations compellingly communicate project information to clients and stakeholders and help solve potential design conflicts throughout the life of a project. Our staff has extensive experience implementing visualization techniques with a range of software programs, including SketchUp, Lumion, Autodesk 3ds Max, ArcGIS, Synchro/SimTraffic, VISSIM, Civil 3D, and MicroStation.
Clear and effective communication with the public is critical in building consensus for the project, and using enhanced 3-D visualization tools will allow concepts to “come alive” and showcase the vision of the community and project in a tangible, relatable way. Some of our visualization and graphics capabilities are illustrated below, to showcase the Kimley-Horn team’s service offerings.

3. PROJECT APPROACH
A. Approach to Project Goals and Requirements
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Pacoima Wash Vision Plan, completed in 2008, aimed to revitalize the Pacoima Wash by enhancing the local wildlife habitat, providing access to new recreational amenities, and creating a safer, healthier, and more sustainable community. The Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project provides a unique opportunity to integrate and connect the Cindy Montañez Natural Park with surrounding neighborhoods and schools, thus contributing to the overall success of the Vision Plan. Phase I of the project, which included a newly constructed Class I bike path from 4th Street to 8th Street, has already established a vital connection to the park.
The project will incorporate critical enhancements identified in the 2018 Safe and Active Streets Plan sessions and during the community outreach workshops, including shade trees, shrubs, High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks (HAWK) signals at Glenoaks Boulevard and 5th Street, sidewalk/ bike paths, benches, park monuments, bikeway monuments, educational signage, upgraded fencing/gates, lighting, and rehabilitation of the existing decomposed granite park trail. These enhancements will focus on sustainability, biodiversity, and native vegetation, creating a greener, healthier space for the community.
The upgrades to the park will enhance connectivity to the Vista del Valle Language Academy, located 250 feet northwest of the park, which is a key element for any active transportation project. Additionally, this project presents an opportunity to rebrand the park to honor the late councilwoman, following the resolution to rename the park after her. An important part of this tribute is incorporating native plants and shrubs that support the habitats of monarch butterflies.
State of California earmarked funds and an Earth Fund, both set to expire next year, necessitate prompt completion of the Pacoima Wash Connectivity project. Utilizing these funds, the City aims to implement additional safety measures for lighting, improve the drainage at Bromont Avenue, and potentially incorporate additional BMPs/ bioswales in the area.
In an effort to bring the vision for this project to life, we have developed Figure 1 on the following page to provide an overview of proposed improvements throughout the Cindy Moñtanez Natural Park.

PROJECT APPROACH
Kimley-Horn’s approach to this project focuses on engaging the community and project partners while giving a voice to the natural habitats of San Fernando.
Engaging the Residents
Known for its deep-rooted Latino heritage and strong sense of community, San Fernando has cultivated a unique identity shaped by generations of residents, local businesses, and cultural institutions. Kimley-Horn’s community outreach partner, Katherine Padilla and Associates (KPA), knows first-hand about the City’s strong commitment to inclusive planning. KPA served as outreach lead for San Fernando’s Citywide Parking Management Master Plan as well as outreach lead from 2011-2020 for Metro’s East San Fernando Valley (ESFV) Light Rail Study and EIR/EIS, and ESFV Light Rail First-Last Mile Plan, during which the San Fernando community was actively engaged. We know that City leadership prioritizes transparency, accessibility, and meaningful public participation in shaping projects that affect their stakeholders.
The community-based design process in San Fernando is guided by structured outreach efforts that ensure residents, business owners, and stakeholders have a voice in shaping their environment. Through interactive workshops, the Kimley-Horn team will garner input that directly informs design decisions from an array of enhancements, including native vegetation, park benches, and educational signage. Cultural considerations play a central role, with planners emphasizing the importance of honoring families, local traditions, language accessibility, and the preservation of historic and cultural landmarks. This approach fosters trust and ensures that the Pacoima Wash Connectivity Project reflects the values and aspirations of San Fernando’s diverse population.
Connecting the Community
The Kimley-Horn teams will improve the connection between the City of San Fernando and the City of Los Angeles by leveraging our established relationship with Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez from Council District 7 and surrounding communities. Our successful experience on other local projects connected to the Pacoima Wash Vision Plan—including the Telfair Avenue Multimodal Bridge over Pacoima Wash and the Bridge Railing Replacement Project at Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard —showcase our contribution to
promoting safety and connectivity to the neighborhoods
divided by the Pacoima Wash.
Collaborating with Project Partners
Collaboration with project partners is crucial to the project's success. The Kimley-Horn team will regularly coordinate with the City of San Fernando, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and other key stakeholders to verify the design aligns with regulatory requirements, technical standards, and environmental goals.
Monthly meetings will be held to discuss project milestones, design considerations, and action items to maintain the project schedule. Coordination with the City of Los Angeles will ensure that park improvements are cohesive with the proposed bike path on the west bank of the Pacoima Wash, supporting
another component of the Pacoima Wash Vision Plan. Kimley-Horn has worked closely with LACFCD and USACE on other projects to complete both the LACFCD Construction Permit and Section 408 permit processes in a streamlined manner and fully understands the extent of coordination those permits require.

Embracing Natural Habitats
At the heart of the Cindy Montañez Natural Park design lies a deep commitment to celebrating and preserving the unique natural habitats of San Fernando. The project aims to
seamlessly integrate the beauty of native landscapes into an inviting urban oasis—one that inspires exploration,
relaxation, and learning.
Native vegetation will define the park’s character, creating a thriving habitat for local wildlife while showcasing the region’s natural heritage. Thoughtfully placed park amenities, such as benches, shade structures, and interpretive
signage will provide comfortable spaces for reflection
and community connection, allowing visitors to enjoy the serene surroundings. Educational signage throughout the park will highlight native plant species, ecological features, and sustainability practices, transforming each visit into an opportunity for discovery and environmental stewardship.
These enhancements are designed not only for recreation but also for education. With several schools located nearby, the park will serve as a living classroom—supporting
field trips, nature walks, and hands-on outdoor learning experiences that promote environmental awareness among
students of all ages.
Drawing on our experience with native landscaping across parks, trails, and bikeways in Southern California, the design team will incorporate aesthetically pleasing, sustainable features that harmonize with the natural environment. The result will be a beautiful, resilient landscape that enhances community well-being while honoring the legacy and
environmental values that Cindy Montañez championed.
Commitment to Project Goals
We recognize the urgency of completing this project within the provided timeline and to provide a well-designed project within the designated funding amount. To meet the deadline outlined in the RFP, we have developed a comprehensive, resource-loaded plan and schedule. Through our internal Castaheads program—developed to provide resource commitments to projects, and by maintaining weekly scheduling—we can ensure our commitment to the design timelines.
Regarding our quality of work, our team is dedicated to developing technically sound designs that adhere to the City’s budget and timeline, focus on community feedback, and meet City standards and constructability requirements. We will utilize our experience with similar projects, locally and with neighboring Active Transportation and park projects, to provide the standard of care for this project to be successful.
We are aligned with the City of San Fernando in how we define a successful project. As part of this alignment, we aim to seamlessly integrate and connect the Cindy Montañez Natural Park with the surrounding neighborhoods and schools. In collaboration with the City of San Fernando Department of Public Works, Kimley-Horn will support the broader objectives of the Pacoima Wash Vision Plan, which includes promoting active transportation, enhancing community connectivity, and providing residents with secure, accessible routes for walking and cycling.

The topographic field surveys will be used to verify the 20-scale aerial planimetric mapping and include additional survey data for critical tiein points, surface visible utilities, invert elevations, and other features obscured by vegetation or shadows in the aerial mapping which fall within the survey limits. The topographic survey data will be processed and plotted in CAD at a scale comparable to the aerial mapping.
The record park boundary, street centerlines and record rights of way for 8th Street, Bromont Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard will be computed from publicly available record maps. Research will be conducted for the perimeter of the Natural Park and existing centerline and right-of-way files within the project limits. Controlling centerline monuments will be tied into the horizontal survey control established for this project and utilized in the analysis of the existing centerline and right of way. The centerline and right-of-way limits will be calculated only within the limits of the project stated above. This map will be based on record data and a complete field boundary survey is not part of this surveying proposal.
The final survey map deliverables include a topographic field survey in AutoCAD Civil 3D format at 40-scale with record parcel information and an XYZ Point File in CSV file format.
B – Geotechnical Analysis
Our geotechnical firm, Earth Mechanics, will drill three 5-foot deep borings within the project limits. We will prepare a boring location plan and this plan will be used to secure encroachment permit from the City of San Fernando. Any other permits, if required, will be secured by others. EMI field personnel will collect bulk soil samples for laboratory testing. Rapid-set concrete will be used to replace any asphalt that is removed by excavations. Any borings within existing soils will be recompacted. We assume a no-fee permit will be provided by the city and no traffic control will be required for these borings.
The geotechnical team will perform three infiltration tests for the project. The depth of the infiltration testing will depend on the design invert elevation of the proposed bio-retention swale/basin, but is assumed to be no more than 5 feet below existing ground. Each infiltration test well will be soaked overnight, and infiltration testing will commence the following day. Well infiltration testing will be performed following USBR 7300-89 method.
Field logs of the boreholes will be reviewed to select representative soil samples for laboratory testing. Soil laboratory tests will be conducted in general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards or California Test methods. Anticipated laboratory tests include: R-value, #200 wash, Atterberg Limits, and moisture.
Based on the R-value and the Traffic Index (TI) provided by the city, we will determine pavement structural sections for the bike path. EMI will prepare a technical memorandum to provide R-value tests results, recommended pavement structural sections, and soil infiltration testing results. We will address any comments resulting from the City of San Fernando review and prepare a final technical memorandum.

C – Utility Investigations:
Kimley Horn will conduct a utility search of the existing utilities in the project area. Our team will contact 411 for a list of representative owners, to ask for as-built information in the project area, and anticipate contacting the following:
◢ SoCal Edison
◢ SoCal Gas
◢ Dish
◢ Spectrum
◢ Frontier
◢ San Fernando Water
◢ Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power
In addition, we will ask for records from San Fernando Public Works for any sewer or storm drain data, and we will review the City of Los Angeles’s NavigateLA for information on publicly available sewer and storm drain data.
Kimley Horn will coordinate with the utility companies for any utility adjustments necessary as part of the project. All existing utilities will be documented and placed on a utility layer in the base map for reference. We do not anticipate providing the utility information on a separate utility sheet; we will show relevant utility information on the civil plans.
Kimley-Horn will provide utility notices to the utility companies requiring adjustments including letters after the 60% and 100% PS&E submissions. No utility relocations are planned for this project, and no potholing is anticipated.
TASK 3 – DESIGN
Environmental Clearance:
Kimley Horn will work with the Community Development Department on any applicable forms and processes for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Categorical Exemption (CE). It is anticipated that preparation and filing of a CE form, without supporting technical studies, is sufficient given the proposed improvements meet the definition of minor alterations to land. We anticipate to provide a graphic of the overall project extents and a project description detailing the benefits and impacts. If additional studies are needed for environmental clearance, we can provide these for an additional scope and fee.
Once the CE form has been accepted by the city, our team will file the Notice of Exemption with the City Clerk, County Registrar and the State Clearinghouse.
Research and Assemble Existing Data:
Kimley-Horn will obtain and review readily available relevant technical documentation for the project, including asbuilts, studies, reports (geotechnical, hydrology) and survey data from the City’s database.
Field Verification:
Kimley-Horn will conduct up to two site visits to take photographs to thoroughly analyze and document the existing conditions. Changes that have occurred within or adjacent to the project limits will be confirmed and the appropriate project limits verified. The site visit will include verification of the existing park features and surface utilities by comparing with any city provided survey data/drawing and Kimley Horn survey performed. Potential physical constraints, limitations, or infrastructure concerns to consider in the final design will be documented.
Traffic Study:
Kimley-Horn will evaluate two pedestrian crossing locations to determine whether installation of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also known as a High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK), is warranted. The evaluation will be performed in accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Section 4F – Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, and applicable Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pedestrian countermeasure guidance.
Data collection will include 24-hour vehicle volume counts on all approaches at each location and six (6) hours of pedestrian and cyclist hourly counts at the proposed crossings. Kimley-Horn will review the most recent five years of collision history to identify pedestrian or bicycle-related crashes.

Using FHWA pedestrian countermeasure guidance and CA MUTCD criteria, Kimley Horn will evaluate each location based on collision history, roadway cross section, approaching vehicle volume, pedestrian activity, stopping sight distance, and visibility. A recommendation will be provided identifying the most appropriate pedestrian safety countermeasure, such as a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon or other FHWA-recommended treatment, supported by the collected data, CA MUTCD warrants, and engineering judgment.
All findings and recommendations will be summarized in a concise technical memorandum. We will update the study based on one round of comments from the city.
A - 30% Concept Design:
The Kimley-Horn team will develop up to two conceptual layouts, one 22”x34” 1”=100’ scale sheet per alternative, to a 30% design level for City review. Based on one round of consolidated comments from the City, a preferred alternative will be updated and finalized to be advanced through final design.
The concept design will validate the project layout, overall footprint, elements proposed in the park and general drainage improvements. Special attention will be paid to the connections on the east and west end of the park.
Kimley-Horn will meet with city staff to outline the maintenance requirements of the project and finalize the approved manufactured products, materials, and irrigation equipment requirements to ensure that the manufacturer and model numbers are consistent with other city maintained systems.
B and C – 60% and 100% Construction Documents PS&E
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare 60% plans, specifications, and estimate for review and comment by the City. The 60% PS&E will be prepared based on the City of San Fernando and County of Los Angeles standards and guidelines.
The technical specifications will utilize the latest edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SPPWC) and will be consistent with the City’s format. The technical specifications will include required materials, products, and procedures not covered in the SPPWC “Greenbook” Specifications. See Section D in this scope for a description of the cost estimate.
The Kimley-Horn team will submit a Draft 60% improvement plan package to a Bluebeam Studio Session created for the project. The Kimley-Horn team will update the plans based on a consolidated set of comments provided by the City on the 60% PS&E package. The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a 30% Comment Response Matrix to track all comments received and their outcomes based on coordination with the city. In addition, the Kimley-Horn team will submit a 60% Project Specifications document in Word Format. This process will be repeated for the 100% Phase (responding to 60% deliverable comments).
It is assumed that a total of 18 plan sheets will be developed to a final design level. The assumed plans are listed below. Note that the plan descriptions below outline the contents of the 100% plans, and not all elements will be incorporated into the 60% plan submittal. All plan sheets will be 22”x 34” and will be prepared using AutoCAD Civil3D (.dwg) format and comply with the city’s CAD standards. The final submittal will include one set plotted on Mylar and electronic copies of AutoCAD Civil3D files of the plan set.
The proposed improvements will require civil reconstruction for the entire extents of the current park, and KimleyHorn anticipates approximately 1,500 linear feet of bike path. No structural design is anticipated for this project.
