EXHIBIT A

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Project Overview and Objectives
The project is located on Washington Avenue, between West Juana Avenue and Castro Street, San Leandro. Washington Avenue is a high crowned street with parabolic cross-section, which makes crosswalks non-compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The goals of the project include, rehabilitating the pavement, making the crosswalks compliant with ADA by reducing the crowns, bringing the abutting curb ramps to compliance and redesigning the curb return radius at the corner of Williams for reduced turning speed. This is a federal-aid grant project, and therefore, all designs and activities must comply with the Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM).

Scope of Work
This project involves upgrading non-ADA compliant curb ramps and crosswalks, providing accessibility for existing modes of transportation, and rehabilitating the roadway using a cost-effective treatment method within consideration of existing site constraints, characteristics of subsurface conditions and the City’s available construction budget. The project includes the following tasks.

Task A – Project Management and Coordination
Consultant’s project manager will act as the single point of contact with the City and check in on at least a bi-weekly basis to discuss and coordinate details, schedules and issues with the City. Coordination efforts will consist of conference calls, emails and any necessary in-person meetings.

Upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed, consultant will schedule a kick-off meeting with City to clearly identify and discuss project objectives, scope, schedule and budget. At this meeting, the design team will establish contacts for each party, discuss critical path items and review overall project schedule, standards, guidelines and expectations. consultant will continuously manage the project, attend meetings and provide support , as necessary, for coordination between staff and stakeholders. Consultant’s scope of work also includes providing quality assurance and quality control for each milestone submittal. Summary of services under this task include:
 Kick-off meeting coordination and attendance
 Up to four (4) design team meetings with City, as well as ongoing coordination by email or phone calls  File setup maintenance, management and sharing
 Supervision of and coordination with subconsultants
 Quality Assurance and Quality Control reviews prior to making milestone submittals to City  Monitoring the project budget
 CPM schedule updates using Microsoft Project
 Monthly invoices

Meeting agendas and minutes, schedule updates and invoices Task B – Topographic Survey
Consultant will provide topographic surveying and best fit right of way mapping for the project. The topographic survey limit includes Washington Avenue between Castro Street and W. Juana Avenue (approximately 1,400 linear feet±), as well as 50 linear feet of adjoining side streets to facilitate a smooth DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B2194DA-BDFA-4849-A672-C694D69E193C Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and CSG Consultants, Inc. for Washington Avenue Reconstruction, Project No. 2018.4020 Exhibit A – Page 2 of 4 transition from the reduced roadway crown within the project limits to the existing pavement on side streets.

Consultant will collect detailed topographic survey data for the intersection corners where curb ramps were found or measured to be non-ADA compliant during preliminary field walk and require replacement.

The survey may be performed using a combination of Terrestrial LiDAR and supplemented by field surveys with Robotic Total Station. AutoCAD Base Map will be prepared based on City of San Leandro CAD Standards. All planimetric features, visible surface utilities, will be mapped including inverts of sanitary sewer and storm drain structures. Street cross-sections every 50/100 feet will be provided. Horizontal and vertical control will be based on California State Plane Coordinates (NAD83, NAVD88). Alternatively, the consultant can use local City benchmark data and a local basis of bearings if preferred. City will provide the type and location of survey monuments and the elevation of benchmarks.

Best fit right of way limits from available records will be shown on the construction drawings. No right of way acquisition will be necessary for the project; however, should the consultant encounter areas where the proposed improvements will encroach upon private property, consultant will review those areas with the City, and make adjustments to the proposed improvements if necessary. If any improvements, e.g., driveway conforms are required to be constructed on private properties, consultant can assist the City as additional services to prepare plat and legal descriptions to obtain temporary construction easements. Filing corner records prior to and after construction is not part of the project scope.

The following services are excluded, but can be provided as additional services:
• Preparation of a traffic safety plan or lane closures to complete the topographic survey • Preparation of right of way maps by retracing, locating and tying to survey monuments • Preparation of corner records and coordination necessary to relocate destroyed monuments • Performing and preparing a Record of Survey or Corner Record(s) • Preparation of plat and/or legal descriptions for right of way or construction easements • Obtaining or purchasing Title Reports for adjacent properties Deliverables
Topographic survey in both electronic version and hardcopies.

Task C – Geotechnical Investigation
Consultant will apply for a no fee City of San Leandro encroachment permit to collect pavement cores and subgrade samples. These locations will be marked in the field for USA clearance.

Field work will consist of coring along Washington Avenue on either side of the street. Four (4) cores are proposed along the corridor within the parking lanes. Subgrade samples will be collected from a depth of 0-3 feet (measured from lip of gutter) for R value tests. Because there is a high probability that soil cement treatment of the road base will be evaluated during design, the consultant shall collect samples at this time to make this determination. All work will be performed within parking lanes, except that at least one of the cores will be in the street to include identifying existing roadway structural section. No traffic control will be provided. Additional sampling for Cement Treated Base (CTB) treatment is not included in this scope but can be performed as an additional service. All field work is planned to be completed within one working shift that includes, pavement coring, and pavement subgrade sampling.

Laboratory testing for R-value will be conducted on collected two (2) samples. Core samples will be measured for asphalt thickness and photographed for documentation. A summary of the field work will be provided in a table.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B2194DA-BDFA-4849-A672-C694D69E193C Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and CSG Consultants, Inc. for Washington Avenue Reconstruction, Project No. 2018.4020 Exhibit A – Page 3 of 4 The results of the field work and the R value tests will be provided in a Memo. No log of test borings is proposed as the data will be tabulated. Consultant shall recommend the most effective design section using the most current design practices based on the R value and the Traffic Index.

Deliverables:

Geotechnical Investigation Memo and pavement design recommendations; show core locations on plans and document material thicknesses.

Task D – Data Collection
Consultant will collect and review existing right-of-way information, record drawings, utility maps and information, assessor and subdivision maps, survey notes, sample plans and specifications provided by the City.

Consultant will conduct site reconnaissance of the project, perform visual assessment of existing site conditions, evaluate project impacts to existing roadway and utility improvements, and confirm the project scope and approach with City staff. Existing surface facility locations and types will be field verified. Visual field assessment of existing site conditions will include the following: existing surface facilities (pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, pavement markings, aboveground utilities, monuments, driveways, drainage swales, street furniture, traffic signs, trees), features on adjacent properties (fences, walls, walkways, signage, mailboxes), and pavement conditions, overall character of the setting including streetscape amenities in surrounding area.

City will coordinate with various utility companies that have facilities within the project area to request mapping of their facilities in the area, notify utility companies of their facilities or covers which need to be relocated or adjusted to grade because of the proposed improvements; and discuss the project and utility adjustment schedules. City will request and provide all utility maps from utility agencies at the beginning of the design stage. Consultant shall show all utilities within the proposed improvements on the improvement plans. Consultant will perform utility potholing at up to sixteen (16) locations, enough to understand the characteristics of the underground utilities within the improvement area. Consultant will provide pothole data report. Alternatively, City may opt to use the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate the utilities. Consultant will not be responsible for the accuracies of the depths of utilities if GPR is used. Consultant and City shall agree on the best method to completely identify the utilities within the project limits.

Deliverables:

Pothole data report, including showing pothole locations, pavement and base material thicknesses on the plans.

Task E – 50% Design, 100% Design and Bid Package Submittals Consultant will prepare base map showing existing improvements and develop plans at the 50%, 100% and Final/Bid design levels in accordance with the latest City, Caltrans, and California MUTCD Standard. The plans will provide sufficient detail to construct the proposed improvements. Consultant will propose curb extensions/bulbouts and modify the existing traffic signals at Washington Avenue/Williams Street intersection, and perform vehicle turning movement analysis around proposed curb extensions/bulbouts at intersection corners.

City will provide PDF or CAD files of the existing as-built traffic signal plans. Consultant will verify the accuracy of the as-built plans. Any discrepancy between as-built plans and field conditions will be referred to the City for resolution. Proposed modifications to the existing traffic signals will be shown on the City-furnished as-built plans without creating any existing signal system from scratch. Existing wiring to be shown in conductor schedules will be based on the City-furnished as-built plans. Upon request by the City, CSG can evaluate and recommend green infrastructure, including bioretention area, permeable crosswalks, etc. as an additional service.
