PROJECT: SAND CITY MULTI-USE TRAIL

DEL MONTE BOULEVARD

SAND CITY, CALIFORNIA
SUBJECT: Proposal for a Geotechnical Engineering Report Dear Mr. Milam:

As requested, Earth Systems Pacific (Earth Systems) is pleased to present this proposal to prepare a geotechnical engineering report for the proposed multi-use trail to be located along Del Monte Boulevard, in Sand City, California. The project area is located within a Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) railroad right-of-way. The right-of-way runs parallel to Del Monte Boulevard. The area to be explored encompasses approximately one mile of new trail starting near Canyon Del Rey Boulevard and ending at Playa Avenue.

The site is located within a seismically active area but is outside an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Rupture Zone as delineated by the State of California. A review of geological maps indicates the site is underlain by coastal terrace deposits (Qcto), as described by Clark et. al. (1997). A review of the Monterey County Hazards Map indicates that the site is located within an area evaluated to have low liquefaction and low landslide hazards. The site area has not been evaluated by the State of California for liquefaction and landslide hazards. Additional evaluation of geologic hazards at the site is beyond the scope of work proposed herein.

Geotechnical Engineering
The purpose of Earth Systems’ geotechnical engineering investigation would be to identify and evaluate the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site, and to use that information to generate design-level soil engineering recommendations for the proposed multi-use trail.

Earth Systems proposes to evaluate subsurface soil conditions at the site by drilling exploratory borings using a track-mounted drill rig. During the drilling process, we would log soil conditions and collect samples of subsurface soils for laboratory testing. 166
Sand City Mixed-Use Trail June 30,2026
(Revised July 1, 2026)
Doc. No.: 2606-019.PRP.REV1/ta 2 Proposal No.: SAL-26-06-009 Selected soil samples collected from our borings would be tested in our laboratory to measure the index and strength properties pertinent to the development. Using the data collected from the subsurface exploration and laboratory testing, engineering analysis would be performed to develop conclusions which would be used to generate recommendations for site preparation and grading. Further details of the scope of work are described below:

A. Site reconnaissance by our staff geologist/engineer to evaluate access conditions and mark tentative locations of the proposed borings prior to contacting Underground Service Alert who would be responsible for marking the locations of the known utilities within the marked areas. This step is required by the law and the purpose of this exercise is to minimize the chances of drilling through/damaging any existing utility lines.

B. Exploration and evaluation of the subsurface conditions through drilling of four to five borings to depths of 5 to 10 feet below ground surface (bgs).

Subsurface conditions encountered in the boreholes would be described by our staff engineer/geologist supervising the drilling process to create a continuous log. The boring logs would include a description of soil encountered including: color, major and minor components, USCS classification, changes in soil conditions with depth, qualitative moisture content, consistency/density and plasticity, sampler type, and sampling depths and laboratory test results. Copies of the boring logs would be included in the report. Soon after collecting the final sample from the borings the borehole would be backfilled with drill cuttings.

C. Laboratory analysis of selected samples collected during our exploratory program. Anticipated tests would include Atterberg limits, gradation analysis, R-value, dry density, and moisture content. The actual types and numbers of tests performed would depend on the subsurface conditions encountered.

D. The field and laboratory data would be reviewed by a Registered Engineer and evaluated with respect to development of criteria for site preparation and grading, exterior concrete flatwork, backfilling of utility trenches, management of site drainage and finish improvements, and required geotechnical observation and testing.

Engineering analysis of the data generated from this subsurface exploration, resulting in the compilation of a written report presenting our conclusions and geotechnical engineering recommendations and design criteria for the proposed multi-use trail. The following items would be addressed in the report:
• Soil and groundwater conditions encountered at the site, • Expansion potential of near surface soil at the site, • Preparation of the site prior to grading,
• Grading criteria and suitability of onsite soils as engineered fill, • Exterior concrete flatwork,
• Utility trench backfills,
• Surface drainage and finish improvements,
• Geotechnical observation and testing.

Evaluation of the site geology; analysis of the soil for percolation rates, corrosivity, contaminants or other chemical properties; construction issues within the domain of contractors; and any other services not specifically noted in the preceding paragraphs are beyond the scope of the proposed work.

Traffic Signal Design Services for the Sand City Multi-Use Trail Project in Sand City, California
Project Understanding
Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. will provide traffic signal design services to the Whitson Engineers team for the City of Sand City Multi-Use Trail Final Design project.

The approximately one-mile trail will close a gap in the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail, extending from the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (SR 218)/Del Monte Avenue intersection in Seaside to Playa/California Avenue in Sand City. Traffic signal modifications, including new bicycle signals, will be required to accommodate the trail crossing and intersection improvements described below.

Hexagon’s scope includes the following tasks:
• Traffic signal modification design at the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (SR 218) and Del Monte Avenue intersection (located in the City of Seaside) to accommodate the multi-use trail crossing, including a new bicycle signal and right-turn vehicle signals for the raised bike lane positioned to the right of the right-turn-only lane, and associated signal head, signal pole, conduit, and detection modifications resulting from the bike signal improvements and the new curb bulb out at the northeast corner. • Coordination with and permitting through Caltrans District 5 for the work within SR 218 right-of-way, including the encroachment permit and the anticipated Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process for the intersection modifications. • Review of the signing and striping plans prepared by Whitson Engineers for conformance with the traffic signal modification design at the intersection. • Traffic engineering assistance to Whitson Engineers throughout the course of the project including technical input for the project's community and stakeholder outreach efforts.

It is our understanding that the civil, landscape, environmental, and survey components of the project, including the trail design, grading, drainage, trailside parking lots, curb ramps, curb bulbouts, and the signing and striping plans, will be designed by Whitson Engineers and its other subconsultants, and that Whitson Engineers will manage all plan submittals and coordination with the City of Sand City and the stakeholder jurisdictions (City of Seaside, TAMC, and Caltrans).

Work Scope
Design Standards
The plans will be designed in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and standards, such as, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) requirements, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, Caltrans Standard plans and Specifications, etc. In addition, Hexagon will ensure that equipment specified on the plans is in accordance with City of Seaside preferences.
174
Traffic Signal Design Scope – Sand City Multe Use Trail June 30, 2026

Traffic Signal Improvement Plans
Traffic signal improvement plans will be developed for the intersection of Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (SR 218) and Del Monte Avenue.

Signal Interconnect Plans
Since the existing controller cabinet at the intersection does not appear to be affected by the proposed improvements, it is assumed that any existing signal interconnect cables at the intersection will also be unaffected by the proposed improvements. Therefore, our scope of work does not include the preparation of traffic signal interconnect installation or modification plans. If it is found that signal interconnect facilities (copper or fiber optic) need to be replaced or installed, then additional time and budget may be necessary to develop that plan.

Intersection Safety Lighting Photometric Analysis
Hexagon will conduct a photometric analysis of the safety lighting at the project intersection. The results of the analysis will be presented to the City along with the project plans to verify that the safety lighting layout and luminaire types specified in the design adequately satisfy the City’s lighting standards. Note that this analysis is for signalized intersection only and does not cover new street lighting on the street segments adjacent to the signalized intersection or trail lighting.

Traffic Engineering Design Support
Hexagon will provide input to the project team throughout the design process to ensure that the proposed geometry of new intersection curbs, lane configurations, wheelchair ramps, and crosswalk alignments accommodate the turning movements of design vehicles, are compatible with the safe and efficient operation of the traffic signal systems, and meet ADA standards and City requirements for signal pole and pedestrian push button locations. This effort will also focus on recommending reasonable adjustments to the proposed civil improvements to minimize impacts to existing signal equipment.

Because the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (SR 218)/Del Monte Boulevard intersection is located within the City of Seaside and within Caltrans State Route 218 right-of-way, Hexagon will provide traffic engineering assistance to support Whitson Engineers in coordinating the signal modification design with the City of Seaside and Caltrans District 5.

Additionally, Hexagon will review signing and striping plans produced by Whitson Engineers for the project and will make recommendations based on traffic engineering industry standards.

Work Tasks

1. Project Management
Project Management and Administration
Throughout the course of the project, Hexagon will conduct periodic billings, summarize project completion status and budget status, as necessary or as requested by Whitson Engineers. We will maintain close communication with the design team to coordinate our design work with other aspects of the project.

Progress Meetings
Hexagon will attend an in-person kick-off meeting with City staff and the project team to discuss the scope of work and goals and objectives of the project. Hexagon will attend monthly progress meetings (via video conference) with the project team and City staff. 175
Traffic Signal Design Scope – Sand City Multe Use Trail June 30, 2026

Obtain and Review Background Information
Hexagon will contact the City of Seaside Public Works Department to research any special requirements the City may have regarding the proposed traffic signal improvements. Hexagon will work with City staff to obtain any relevant background information that may be useful or required to complete the design work, such as traffic studies and as-built plans. We will obtain existing and proposed utility plans from the project team for use in the design of new traffic signal pole locations.

Field Investigations
Hexagon will field-verify existing traffic signal interconnect and street light facilities, the routing of electrical conduits, and the size, location, and contents of existing pull boxes and cabinets near the intersection. Our design base maps will be updated as necessary to accurately reflect existing conditions. Potential conflicts with overhead and underground utilities and obstructions, and other conflicts not readily apparent on the topographic maps will be identified in the field.

Agency Permitting Assistance
Coordination with Caltrans and City of Seaside
It is anticipated that the City of Sand City, the City of Seaside, and Caltrans will be reviewing and providing plan-check comments on the traffic signal plans. Upon receipt of comments from each agency, all comments will be addressed and any conflicting comments between the agencies will be resolved to the satisfaction of each agency.

Caltrans Application Process
Hexagon’s scope includes assisting the team in answering traffic-related questions from Caltrans and answering questions from the project team with respect to completing Caltrans forms and applications.

Per the City’s RFP, it is anticipated that a Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) will be necessary for this project. Hexagon will take the lead on preparing the DEER and will work with the City and project team to collect the necessary information to fill out the various forms and report sections. Some of the key components of this process include purpose and need narrative, proposed scope, traffic operations and collision assessment, right-of-way evaluation, design standards decision document for non-standard features, and a Quality Management Plan.

Our scope and budget for this task include time and cost for Hexagon to attend one (1) meeting at Caltrans headquarters in San Luis Obispo, if necessary. Attendance at additional in-person meetings with Caltrans would require additional budget. Additional meetings with Caltrans staff will be held via video conference, as necessary.

2. Land Surveying
Review Available Survey Data
Hexagon will review available survey data and base maps for the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard/Del Monte Boulevard intersection, identify lacking topographic base map information, and make recommendations for expanding the base map or adding additional data, such as underground utilities.

3. Final Landscape Design
Hexagon has no scope items for this task.

Traffic Signal Design Scope – Sand City Multe Use Trail June 30, 2026

4. Engineering Design (PS&E)
Schematic Design
Based on the City’s 30% design plans included in the RFP, it appears the City intends to connect the new Multi-Use trail to the existing Monterey Bay Trail through the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard and Del Monte Boulevard intersection. However, the 30% plans do not currently show adequate width for a two-way multi-use trail to be implemented through the intersection. The additional improvements required to maintain a continuous two-way trail connection through that intersection may be significant, and it is unclear if the City intends for the project to resolve this issue, or if the intent is for counter-flow (eastbound) bicyclists to dismount and operate as pedestrians in the segment adjacent to the intersection. Hexagon will evaluate two-way bike facilities design standards, explore opportunities and constraints, and develop high level schematic drawings early in the design process for coordination with the City and project team, to determine the scope of work in the vicinity of the intersection prior to beginning construction drawings.

Preparation of Base Maps
Hexagon will prepare base maps for the traffic signal improvement plans utilizing files containing topographic mapping and proposed civil improvements furnished by Whitson Engineers. The mapping files must contain the following information:
• Location and configuration of existing and new curb, gutter, edge of pavement, sidewalk, driveways, and wheelchair ramps.
• Location of existing and new street lights, utility poles, and large trees. • Existing and proposed intersection and roadway striping, including lane lines, legends, arrows, and crosswalk locations.
• Locations of existing and proposed property lines and right-of-way lines.

All of the elements described above must be provided within the limits specified below before Hexagon can begin work on the design plans:
• The Canyon Del Rey Boulevard and Del Monte Boulevard intersection, with at least 200 feet on all intersection approaches.

The mapping files provided by Whitson Engineers must also show the locations of existing pull boxes, utility vaults, cabinets, street light poles, utility poles, traffic signal poles, and all existing above and below ground utilities on all four quadrants of the intersection.

If topographical mapping is not available within the limits specified above, then additional time and budget may be necessary for Hexagon to extend the coverage of base maps.

Plans, Specifications, and Estimates
Plans - The construction plans will include a layout of the proposed improvements at the intersection and will include all design elements, full equipment specifications, and any other features necessary for complete and biddable construction plans.

Specifications - A separate set of Technical Special Provisions for electrical systems construction, if required by the City, will be prepared for inclusion in the Project Specifications.

Cost Estimates - A detailed estimate of probable construction costs will be prepared and will be submitted for review along with the construction plans. 177
Traffic Signal Design Scope – Sand City Multe Use Trail June 30, 2026

Review Submittals - Our scope and fee include time and cost for up to three submittals of the construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates to the City for review and comment. Unless specifically requested otherwise, all review submittals will be made electronically to Whitson Engineers.

As part of each submittal, we will return the marked-up plans from the previous submittal along with a list of the City comments and our responses.

Final Design (Bid Set Submittal)
Upon notification that the 100% PS&E have been approved, Hexagon will prepare final deliverables (construction documents) which will include PDFs of the plan sheets featuring the signature of a responsible Professional Engineer.

Traffic Design Coordination
We will coordinate the improvements at the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (SR 218) and Del Monte Boulevard intersection with the design of other aspects of the proposed new trail. As discussed above under Task 1, Hexagon will assist with Caltrans coordination with respect to improvements at the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard and Del Monte Boulevard intersection.

Meetings
Hexagon will participate in conference calls and video conferences with the project team and/or City staff, as necessary, during the design phase of the project. In-person meetings are not included in this scope of work.

5. Community and Stakeholder Outreach Support
The City of Sand City will lead all community engagement for the project. Hexagon will support the project team by providing information for technical exhibits related to the traffic signal modification and the trail crossing at the Canyon Del Rey Boulevard/Del Monte Boulevard intersection. Additionally, our scope of work and fee assumes Hexagon staff attendance at the following meetings as a technical resource to answer traffic engineering and design questions:
• Sand City City Council meetings (up to three meetings), • Stakeholder Jurisdictions board and committee meetings (up to two meetings), • Staff-level coordination meetings (up to two meetings), and • Community workshops in Sand City and Seaside (up to two workshops). 178

6 EXHIBIT A: Scope of Work and Schedule
(On a Separate Sheet)
184

WORK PLAN
Project Understanding
The Sand City Multi-Use Trail Project will transform the former Monterey Branch Line rightof-way of the historic Southern Pacific Railroad into a vibrant recreational and active transportation corridor. The project extends through the City of Sand City from Playa Avenue to State Route 218 in Seaside, utilizing a corridor currently owned by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC). While portions of the existing corridor remain unused, other segments are presently used by adjacent property owners.

The primary project element is the construction of an asphalt concrete multi-use path throughout the corridor. In select locations, an adjacent pedestrian path will provide dedicated space for walkers and runners. The project also includes a variety of trailside amenities designed to enhance the user experience, including picnic areas, outdoor fitness stations, and new public parking facilities. The remaining portions of the right-ofway will be landscaped to establish a continuous greenbelt and improve the visual character of the corridor.

The trail will cross Olympia Avenue, Contra Costa Avenue, and Tioga Avenue. To ensure safe and convenient access, proposed improvements at these intersections include curb extensions (bulb-outs) and decorative, raised, high-visibility crosswalks.

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are proposed at the Contra Costa Avenue crossing to further enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Decorative, high-visibility crosswalks will also be installed where the trail crosses the proposed parking lot driveways.

At the trail’s southern terminus, improvements are proposed at State Route 218 to provide a safer and more direct connection to the existing Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail. These improvements are identified as an Optional Service because they may ultimately be delivered as part of a separate project.

Improvements at the Playa Avenue intersection are not included within the scope of this project, as they are being implemented separately by Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) as part of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project currently under construction.

Upon completion, the Sand City Multi-Use Trail Project will create an attractive, milelong linear park and non-motorized transportation facility. The project will provide new opportunities for walking, bicycling, recreation, fitness, and community gathering while enhancing connectivity, safety, and environmental quality throughout the corridor. 185

Task 7 Deliverables
 Maps, presentation graphics, and narrative information as noted  Meeting attendance at meetings
 Meeting notes and action items
Task 7.2: Grant Support
Our team will provide technical support to the City in its search for future grant funding.

Such technical support may include preparation of specific quantity and cost estimates, and cost/benefit analyses.

Task 8: Right of Way and Utilities (Optional Task)
Task 8.1: Right of Way
We understand the city is currently coordinating with the City of Seaside and TAMC to acquire rights via temporary construction easements and use agreements (no acquisition of private land is anticipated).

Therefore, this Optional Task entails preparation of legal descriptions and plats as may be requested by the city to support this effort.

Task 8.2: Utility Coordination
Provide Utility Coordination if needed to address utility conflicts. At this time we understand no utilities are anticipated to require relocation (no utilities are believed to exist within the TAMC right of way, except at the street crossings) and therefore no utility coordination is anticipated.

MEMORANDUM
To: Caltrans District 5, Division of Local Assistance
From: Nick McIlroy, AICP, Planning Manager, City of Sand City Date: September 28, 2026
Subject: Summary of Contract Negotiations and Fair and Reasonable Price Determination, Whitson Engineers, Sand City Multi-Use Trail Final Design, Federal Project No. 5366(002)
Purpose
This memo summarizes how the City negotiated the architectural and engineering (A&E) agreement with Whitson and Associates, Inc. dba Whitson Engineers (Whitson) for final design of the Sand City Multi-Use Trail, and how the City determined the negotiated price is fair and reasonable. The agreement is a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $920,899.34.

Selection
• The City first advertised this work through an RFP and received only one proposal, at $1,898,599. The City did not award that proposal and re-solicited the work through a qualifications-based RFQ consistent with LAPM Chapter 10. • Statements of qualifications were due July 6, 2026. The evaluation panel interviewed Whitson on July 16, 2026, and ranked Whitson first based on combined written and interview scores. Cost was not considered in the ranking. • On July 27, 2026, the City notified Whitson it was the top-ranked firm and asked for a scoping meeting. The City said a formal LAPM cost proposal would be requested once scope was final.

Independent Cost Estimate
The City completed the Caltrans Part 1 ICE Worksheet on August 1, 2026, before receiving any cost information from Whitson. The ICE totals $1,268,390.83 and covers the full RFQ scope, including the SR 218 intersection work and right-of-way and utility support. It uses:
• 6,647 hours across project management, roadway, landscape, traffic, electrical, geotechnical, survey, environmental, public involvement, and administrative tasks • Labor rates from BLS OEWS wage data for the Salinas MSA, with California statewide data as a fallback
• A conservative 222% indirect cost rate, a 13% fixed fee from the Caltrans Profit/Fee Worksheet (weighted guidelines method), and 3% annual escalation The ICE and Profit/Fee Worksheet were submitted to Caltrans. 226

Scope Negotiations
• July 27, 2026: Whitson sent written scope questions. The City responded that (1) Task 5, SR 218 intersection improvements, stays in the scope but is priced as a separate optional item rather than folded into the base; (2) supplemental field survey (Task 2.2) applies only to Caltrans right of way if the SR 218 work proceeds; and (3) the Coastal Development Permit will be heard by the Sand City City Council, with Coastal Commission review only on appeal, so no Coastal Commission process was budgeted.
• August 18, 2026: Whitson provided a meeting agenda and a summary of its proposed fee, and asked for the current construction cost estimate and survey CAD files. • August 21, 2026: The City held a scoping meeting with Whitson, BFS Landscape Architects, and Denise Duffy & Associates (DD&A) to confirm tasks, deliverables, and responsibilities. • Scope refinements after the meeting: three technical reports were removed from DD&A’s scope because another City consultant (EMC) has already prepared them, which avoids paying twice for the same work. Whitson also removed a fixed trail width from the project description so design is not locked in before the City decides. • Whitson then submitted Exhibit 10-H cost proposals for the base scope and for optional Tasks 5 and 8, along with individual 10-H forms for each subconsultant (BFS, DD&A, Earth Systems Pacific, Hexagon Transportation Consultants, and Aurum Consulting Engineers).

Each form shows hours by classification, actual hourly rates, indirect cost rates, fixed fee, and other direct costs.

Cost Proposal Review
The City compared the cost proposals to the ICE line by line. • Hours. The Whitson team proposes 5,182 hours, 22% fewer than the ICE. The difference mostly reflects Whitson building on the existing 30% design and survey, and the scope refinements described above.
• Labor rates. Several of Whitson’s actual hourly rates for senior staff are higher than the BLS-based ICE rates. For example, Whitson’s Senior Civil Engineer is $80.50 per hour, compared to $62.48 in the ICE. Total direct labor is nearly the same, however: $346,983 in the proposal compared to $345,105 in the ICE. Whitson is using fewer, more experienced hours.
• Indirect cost rates. Whitson’s ICR is 129.36% (fringe 29.34%, overhead 41.02%, G&A

59.00%). Subconsultant ICRs range from 132% to 225%. All are well below or close to the 222% assumed in the ICE. Once the higher labor rates are fully loaded, Whitson’s Senior Civil Engineer costs about $203 per hour, compared to about $227 per hour for the equivalent ICE classification. Indirect costs are reimbursed only at approved rates and remain subject to audit under Article IX of the agreement. • Fixed fee. All firms used a 10% fixed fee, below the 13% calculated in the City’s Profit/Fee Worksheet.
• Escalation. Whitson used 5% annual salary escalation, compared to 3% in the ICE. The effect is $4,921 across all three cost proposals, and escalation is reimbursed only as actually incurred.
• Other direct costs and subconsultants. Other direct costs are limited: $3,000 for BFS reproduction, $100 for Aurum mileage, and lower-tier subconsultants for DD&A 227

(Cornerstone Earth Group, $4,980) and Earth Systems ($7,224). Whitson’s totals match the subconsultant 10-H forms.

Fair and Reasonable Determination
The City accepted Whitson’s cost proposal without a price reduction. Scope was refined during negotiations, but the fee in the final 10-H forms matches Whitson’s initial fee summary. The City did not seek a further reduction because the evidence below shows the price is already fair and reasonable:
• The negotiated amount is $347,491 (27%) below the City’s ICE, which was prepared independently before any cost information was received. • It is 40% below the $1,526,000 PS&E budget in the ATP Cycle 8 project estimate. That budget was based on 30% design plans and included engineering estimates prepared and reviewed by Harris & Associates and Kimley-Horn.
• It is 51% below the only proposal received under the City’s earlier RFP ($1,898,599). • Direct labor is within 1% of the ICE. The savings come from lower indirect cost rates and a lower fee, not from under-scoping the work.
• The 10% fixed fee is below the 13% calculated with the Caltrans weighted guidelines method.
• The total is about 10.6% of the $8,678,000 construction estimate (construction items plus contingency).
• The agreement is cost-plus-fixed-fee. The City pays only actual, allowable costs at approved rates plus the fixed fee, up to the not-to-exceed amount. Optional Tasks 5 and 8 are priced separately so their costs can be tracked and controlled apart from the base scope. 228

Conclusion
Based on the ICE, the ATP project estimate, the earlier RFP result, and a detailed review of each firm’s 10-H cost proposal, the City has determined that the negotiated not-to-exceed amount of $920,899.34, including a fixed fee of $82,017.39, is fair and reasonable. The agreement will next go to the Sand City City Council for approval.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

GENERAL
The work, in general, consists of: the maintenance and rehabilitation of street pavement and associated infrastructure, including the demolition and/or removal of concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks, concrete planters, concrete crosswalks, curb ramps, cross gutters and spandrels, trees and landscaping, and the construction of new concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, asphalt concrete dikes, asphalt pavement rehabilitation including aggregate base, stamped asphalt concrete crosswalks, storm drain catch basins, manholes, and pipes, minor sanitary sewer improvements, utility cover adjustments, utility cover relocations, signing and striping.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
A component in one Contract part applies as if appearing in each. The parts are complementary and describe and provide for a complete work. The work embraced herein shall be done in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the Standard Specifications insofar as the same may apply, and in accordance with the specifications and plans. In case of conflict between the Standard Specifications, Standard Plans, and these Special Provisions and the Plans, the order of precedence shall be as follows:

Special Provisions shall take precedence over Plans and the Plans shall take precedence over Standard Specifications and Standard Plans. These Special Provisions shall also take precedence over conflicting portions of the "General Provisions, Part III" of these project specifications.

ADMINISTRATIVE WORKFLOW
Notwithstanding any reference to Caltrans Standard Specifications regarding dispute resolution, progress payments, or administrative submittals:
. Claims Resolution: Any claim by Contractor for a time extension, for payment of money not otherwise provided for, or for payment of a disputed amount, shall first be resolved through the mandatory claim, response, and meet-and-confer/mediation process set forth in Public Contract Code Section 9204, which applies to all such claims regardless of amount and is set forth in full in the "Resolution of Construction Claims" section below. For claims of $375,000 or less that remain unresolved after that process, subsequent proceedings shall be governed by Public Contract Code Section 20104 et seq., including referral to judicial arbitration as provided therein.

. Progress Payments: Monthly progress estimates and retention withholdings shall be administered directly through the Sand City Engineer, utilizing simplified local invoicing forms rather than complex state highway data systems.

CARB - CERTIFICATES OF REPORTED COMPLIANCE NEW RE UIREMEN The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") has approved amendments to the In-Use Off-Road DieselFueled Fleet regulations ("Regulations") which impact construction contractors and subcontractors and will apply to public works projects awarded after January 1, 2024. For a project involving the use of dieselfueled vehicles subject to these Regulations, the apparent low bidder shall obtain and submit to the City, within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Bid Opening Date, copies of valid Certificates of Reported Compliance ("CRC") for all subject vehicles (both the bidder's and its listed subcontractors') that will be used on the Project. The CRCs, or a detailed explanation of any exemption from the CRCs, must be 247
submitted within this period so that the bidder's responsibility can be evaluated by the City prior to award.

Failure to timely submit the required CRCs, or a detailed explanation of any exemption from the Regulations, may render the bidder non-responsible, in which case the City may reject the bid and proceed to evaluate the next lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

The In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets regulations apply to all self-propelled off-road diesel vehicles 25 horsepower or greater and most two-engine diesel vehicles (except on-road two-engine sweepers) owned and operated in California. The Regulations cover a wide range of vehicle types ranging from small skid steer loaders used in small landscaping jobs to bulldozers, forklifts, cranes, and excavators, and includes vehicles/fleets that are rented or leased.

All CRCs must contain a fleet identification number, which is stored on CARB's database and available through the CARB website. All CRCs are available for download starting March 1 of each year and until February 28 of the following year and are automatically updated by CARB if a Contractor is in compliance.

The City is required to retain CRCs for three years after the project is complete, and the CRCs are subject to CARB review upon five calendar days' notice.

Further information regarding the Regulations and this new requirement may be found on the California Air Resources Board website at htt s://ww2.arb.ca. ov/our-work/ ro rams/use-road-diesel-fueled-fleetsre ulation.

"/Vo person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into the municipal storm drain system or water courses any materials. including, but not limited to, pollutants or waters containing any pollutants that cause or contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards, other than stormwater."
Regardless of project size, the Contractor shall submit a site-specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan or Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for City review and approval prior to start of work. The Contractor shall effectively implement and properly maintain storm water best management practices (BMPs) during 259
construction to prevent discharges of pollutants, and including trash, to local drainages and waterways.

Contractor shall comply with all water quality regulations in Sand City Municipal Code Chapter 13.05 Stormwater Management, and City Phase II Storm Water Permit requirements as prescribed by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regulations for the prevention of construction site discharges of pollutants, illicit discharges, and enforcement of prohibited and illicit discharges. The contractor shall employ at all times storm water runoff controls and BMPs at the site, including but not limited to erosion prevention, sediment controls, site stabilization, good housekeeping practices, proper materials storage, handling, and waste management, and similar pollution prevention measures to prevent dumping or illegal discharges during construction into the street and/or storm drain system. Storm water management and control practices shall result in the following outcomes on all construction sites, regardless of size:
. Protection of storm drain inlets and adjacent waterways must be implemented at all times to prevent illicit discharges of sediment, construction debris and fluids, and waste of any kind; . No release of hazardous substances, such as oils, paints, thinners, fuels, and other chemicals; if such a spill occurs that may threaten local water quality, contractor must call 911 immediately and notify City Public Works staff;
. Minimization of site disturbance shall be kept to that portion necessary for construction only, and perimeter controls shall be implemented at all times during all weather conditions; . Soil stabilization of graded areas shall be in place at all times where construction activities have temporarily and/or permanently ceased;
. No deposit of mud, soil, sediment, concrete washout, trash, dewatering, or other similar constructionrelated material or waste shall occur on or into public rights of way, private streets, or into the City's storm water system and related natural resources, either by direct deposit, dropping, discharge, erosion, or tracking by construction vehicles. Any such discharge shall be cleaned-up promptly if an immediate threat to water quality exists, or if not immediate, at the end of the current work shift or workday in which the deposit occurred, whichever comes first; . No runoff from graded areas or stockpile areas shall contain sediments and/or pollutants. Stockpiles shall be adequately and securely covered to avoid contact with rainfall and wind to prevent soil and stockpile movement by water and/or wind;
. Runoff containing sediments shall be captured in secondary containment structures and either treated to remove sediments prior to discharge or infiltrated in the soil on-site; . No exposure of graded areas and stockpile areas to storm water run-on shall occur. Run-on shall be controlled by diversion structures such as dikes, secondary containment, or stockpile covers; and, . All hard-surfaced areas are to be swept regularly and free of dirt and construction debris such that the surface of the pavement is clearly visible at all locations, and construction entrance/exist(s) shall be adequately stabilized to prevent tracking of soil/sediment from reaching streets/paved surfaces and drainage pathways.

Best management practices (BMPs) are required to be illustrated in construction Plans and employed on all construction sites as applicable to the construction activity and shall provide for, and not be limited to:
inlet protections, perimeter protections, erosion prevention and soil control measures, soil stabilization measures, spill prevention and discharge control measures; solid waste containment; concrete waste management; proper vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling, and maintenance; and proper materials management and storage. Detailed procedures to accomplish these protections can be found through the California Storm Water Quality Association's Construction BMP Handbook Portal, U.S. EPA Construction BMP Database and Factsheets, Caltrans Storm Water Quality Manuals and Handbooks, and the Erosion 260
and Sediment Control Field Manual by San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board.

Referenced documents are available for viewing at the City of Sand City, City Hall.

Activities to be performed by Contractor include, but are not limited to:
. Development and submittal of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan or Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for City review and approval prior to construction start. . At all times, Contractor shall implement and maintain the temporary and permanent vegetation (if any), erosion and sediment control measures, and other protective BMP measures in good and effective operating condition by performing routine inspections to determine condition and effectiveness of BMPs, restoration needs for destroyed vegetative cover, and by repair of erosion, sediment, and other protective measures.
. Contractor shall inspect the following areas at least once every seven (7) calendar days, unless otherwise necessary based on current weather conditions or as directed by City inspector, and always within 24 hours prior to and after any predicted storm:
o Inlet protections and perimeter controls;
o Vehicle entry and exist locations;
o Vehicle parking and storage areas;
o Disturbed areas of the construction site,
o Areas that have not been finally stabilized,
o Areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to wind or precipitation, o Equipment and staging areas that are exposed to wind or precipitation; and, o All waste storage and handling devices and areas.

Where sites have been finally stabilized, such inspection shall be conducted at least once every month. . Areas noted above shall be inspected for proper BMP implementation and necessary BMP maintenance, as well as evidence of, or the potential for:
o Erosion, or
o Sediments entering waterways or the drainage system, or o Pollutants entering waterways or the drainage system.

Erosion and sediment control measures shall be observed and maintained to ensure that they are operating correctly. Discharge locations or points shall be inspected regularly to ascertain whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing sedimentation and subsequent degradation of receiving water quality in violation of receiving water quality standards. Vehicle entry and exist locations shall be inspected for evidence of offsite sediment and pollutant tracking and need for cleanup and improved BMP protection measures
. Deficiencies observed during inspections shall be noted and rectified before the end of the workday.

Additionally, the Contractor shall comply with the State Water Resources Control Board's Construction General Permit (CGP), as applicable to the project. Projects subject to the CGP include those that disturb one or more acres of soil, are less than one acre and are part of a common plan of development or sale, or applicable Linear Underground/Overhead Projects, and are required to obtain coverage under the State's CGP for Discharges of Storm Water associated with Construction Activity Construction General Permit Order 2009-0009-DWQ, and subsequent amendments thereto. Construction activities subject to this permit include clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling, or excavation, but do not include regular maintenance activities performed to restore the original line, grade, or capacity of the facility.

Application for CGP coverage is made by the Contractor through a Notice of Intent (N01) to the SWRCB and involves much interaction with the applicable RWQCB as CGP regulator. The Contractor shall develop 261
and supply the City with N01 and associated Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for review and records purposes.

CGP coverage requires the development and implementation of a SWPPP. The SWPPP contents are mandated by the SWRCB and are subject to change, and typically contain site map(s) which shows the construction site perimeter, existing and proposed buildings, lots, roadways, storm water collection and discharge points, general topography both before and after construction, and drainage patterns across the project. The SWPPP must illustrate the placement of BMPs for the construction project and list pollution prevention BMPs the discharger will use to protect storm water runoff. Additionally, applicable SWPPPs must contain a visual monitoring program and a chemical monitoring program for "non-visible" pollutants to be implemented. All SWPPPs must be developed by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) and implemented by a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP), and supplied to the City for review and comment. Additional CGP information on can be found at the State Water Resources Control Board CGP website:
http://www. waterboards. ca. gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/constpermits. shtml Construction site storm water management and control measures shall be implemented year-round regardless of "season". All construction site BMPs shall be implemented at the appropriate level for the construction activity at hand and in a proactive manner during all seasons while construction is ongoing.

In addition to inspections performed by the City, the City's Environmental Compliance Division representative may perform periodic site monitoring visits to ensure the contractor complies with the requirements specified herein. The City shall provide copies of the completed site monitoring reports to the Contractor. In the event work is found non-compliant, a follow up site monitoring visit will be conducted to ensure non-compliant items have been corrected to the satisfaction of the City. If non-compliant items are not properly addressed prior to the follow up site monitoring visit, the costs associated with additional follow up site monitoring visits shall be deducted from the Contractor's final payment.

TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
The following guidelines are established pursuant to Chapter 16.12 of the Sand City Municipal Code, which states:

The City Council of the City of Sand City finds that the trees located within the City limits are a valuable aesthetic resource. Removal of significant trees could reduce scenic beauty and the attractiveness of the area to residents, business owners and visitors.

1. The Tree Protection Guidelines shall apply to all "significant trees" in the City of Sand City, defined as any tree which is equal to or greater than 10 inches DBhl.

2. These standards do not apply to unprotected trees or trees previously approved for removal as shown in the plan set.

3. All cut, fill, and/or building foundations shall be located a minimum of 4.0 times the diameter of the tree away from the outside edge of the trunk of all trees scheduled for preservation. However, the minimum distance permitted shall be 6' - O", away from the outside edge of the trunk for all trees of a trunk diameter less than 2' - O". The diameter of a tree shall be measured at four feet six inches (4' - 6") above the surrounding grade [Diameter at Standard Height (DSH)].

4. All significant trees shall be marked with a spot of paint, or flagging and temporarily fenced during construction. The marking serves to notify City inspectors and workers that the tree is to be fenced at all times during construction. Fencing and marking shall be installed prior to the issuance of building or grading permits and shall be located at the edge of the root zone. The root zone is determined to be that area located out a distance 15 times the trunk diameter in all directions. At no time shall the fencing be located closer than 3' - 0" from the outside edge of the trunk or further 262
than 3' - 0" away from the approved building wall line, foundation, retaining wall, or grade cut, whichever provides the greater distance from the tree trunk. Tree Protection Fencing (TPF) shall consist of six (6) feet tail plastic snow fencing and shall be rigidly supported and maintained during all phases of construction. Fenced areas shall not be used for material stockpile, storage, vehicle parking, or dumping of materials, chemicals, or garbage. Fenced areas shall be maintained in a natural condition and not compacted. Removal of fencing shall only be approved by the City Planner.

5. All approved construction work within the root zone of trees scheduled for preservation shall observe the following minimum tree protection practices:
a. Hand trenching at point or line of grade cuts closest to the trunk to expose major roots 2" in diameter or larger. In cases where rock or unusually dense soil prevents hand trenching, mechanical equipment may be approved by the City Planner, provided that work is closely supervised to prevent tearing or other damage to major roots. b. Exposed major roots shall be cut with a saw to form a smooth surface and avoid tears or jagged edges.
c. Absorbent tarp or heavy cloth fabric shall be placed over new grade cuts where roots are exDOsed and secured by stakes. 2" to 4" of compost or woodchip mulch shall be spread over the tarp to prevent soil moisture loss. The tarp should be thoroughly wetted at least twice per week to ensure constant moisture levels until backfilling occurs. In very dry climate conditions, additional watering may be required to maintain a constant moisture level. This program of watering shall be maintained through all phases of construction including delays and other periods of inactivity.

6. All Tree Protection devices must be in place prior to the start of construction. Please contact the City Planner 831-394-3054 for inspection to confirm Tree Protection or with any general tree preservation questions.

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Attention is directed to Section 7-1. 03, Public Convenience, and Section 7-1. 04, Public Safety, of the Standard Specifications for the provisions relating to the Contractor's responsibility for providing for the 268
convenience and safety of the public in connection with their operations. Standard Specifications are on file in the office of the City Engineer.

Contractor is to notify the Engineer of the start date and construction schedule at least nine (9) calendar days prior to the planned start of construction unless otherwise noted in Part IV.

Unless otherwise provided by the City Engineer, or the Special Provisions the Contractor's construction activities shall be limited to working days as defined by the State Standard Specifications. Daily work time shall be between the hours of 8:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. on all City streets, and other public right of way. Should the City Engineer or Special Provisions allow for working hours other than listed above, construction work and related activities shall desist between the hours of 9:00 p. m. and the following 7:00 a. m. and, all Saturdays, Sundays, and legal Holidays. Time limitations are established to minimize traffic interference and nuisance to the adjacent development and to the traveling public. In the event construction activities continue outside of working hours where overtime pay to City of Sand City personnel has been incurred, the Contractor shall reimburse the overtime costs to the City of Sand City.

The Contractor shall conduct their operations as to cause the least possible inconvenience to public traffic.

The Contractor shall provide traffic control devices or personnel where necessary in conformance with traffic safety standards. The Contractor shall provide sufficient warning signs or devices to give adequate notice to the public of dangerous or changed conditions existing during construction.

The City Engineer shall determine the adequacy of said devices and, in cases of dispute, their determination shall be final.

If the City is required to provide traffic direction, personnel, signs or devices, due either to failure of the Contractor to so provide or in case of emergency, the City shall charge Contractor the actual cost of labor and materials and may deduct said costs from any monies due and owing the Contractor.

WORKER'S COMPENSATION
Pursuant to the requirements in Section 1860 of the Labor Code, the Contractor will be required to secure the payment of workers' compensation to the Contractor's employees in conformance with the requirements in Section 3700 of the Labor Code.

PATENTS
If any material, composition, process, method of construction or any other thing called for or required by the plans and specifications or used in the work is covered by letter patent, all royalties and expenses thereof, all litigation thereupon, or anything whatsoever which may develop as a cost from the use of such materials, composition, process, method, or any other thing which is covered by letter patent, shall be borne by the Contractor.

RIGHT OF PROPERTY
Nothing in the contract shall be construed as vesting the Contractor with any right of property in the materials furnished and used in the work herein provided for after they have been attached to the work and have become an integral portion of the work herein provided. All such materials shall, upon their becoming an integral part of the work herein provided, be, and remain, the property of the City of Sand City.

INCREASED FORCE
In case of emergency involving danger to life or property, continuous work with increased force may be required by the Engineer.

LIABILITIES
269
Right of general supervision by the City shall not make the Contractor an agent of the City, and the liability of the Contractor for all damages to persons or to public or private property arising from the Contractor's execution of the work shall not be lessened because of such general supervision.

PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS

GENERAL
If at any time in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor has failed to supply an adequate working force, or material of proper quality, or has failed in any other respect to prosecute the work with the diligence and force specified and intended in and by the terms of the contract, notice thereof in writing shall be served upon the Contractor. Should the Contractor neglect or refuse to provide means for a satisfactory compliance with the contract, as directed by the Engineer, within the time specified in such notice, the Engineer in any such case shall have the power to suspend the operation of the contract.

Upon receiving notice of such suspension, the Contractor shall discontinue said work, or such parts of it as the City may designate.

Upon such suspension, the Contractor's control shall terminate, and thereupon the Engineer or duly authorized representative may take possession of all or any part of the Contractor's materials, tools, equipment, and appliances upon the premises, and use the same for the purpose of completing said contract, and hire such force and buy or rent such additional machinery and appliances, tools, and equipment and buy or rent such additional materials and supplies at the Contractor's expense as may be necessary for the proper construction of the work and for the completion thereof; or may employ other parties to carry the contract to completion, employ the necessary workers, substitute other machinery or materials and purchase the materials contracted for in such manner as the City may deem proper; or the City may annul and cancel the contract and re-let the work or any part thereof.

Any excess of cost arising therefrom over and above the contract price will be charged against the Contractor and their sureties, who will be liable therefor. In the event of such suspension, all money due the Contractor or retained under the terms of this contract shall be forfeited to the City, but such forfeiture will not release the Contractor or their sureties from liability for failure to fulfill the contract. The Contractor and their sureties will be credited with the amount of money so forfeited toward any excess of cost over and above the contract price, arising from the suspension of the operations of the contract and the completion of the work by the City as above provided, and the Contractor will be so credited with any surplus remaining after all just claims for such completion have been paid.

In the determination of the question whether there has been any such noncompliance with the contract as to warrant the suspension or annulment thereof, the decision of the City Manager shall be binding on all parties to the contract.

SUSPENSIONS AND DELAYS
Suspensions of work and delays shall be in accordance with Section 8-1.06, Suspensions, and Section 8-

1.07, Delays, of the Standard Specifications.

The Engineer shall have the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part, for such period as the Engineer may deem necessary due to unsuitable weather, or to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable prosecution of the work, or for such time as the Engineer may deem necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out Engineer's orders given or to perform any provisions of the work. The Contractor shall immediately obey such order of the Engineer and shall not resume work until ordered in writing by the Engineer.

Any act of, or any omission of anything required to be done by the City, its officers, agents or employees which shall cause the Contractor delay in the completion of the work shall be a ground for extension of 270
time on the part of the Contractor to complete the work but shall not grant the Contractor any monetary damages for such delay.

RIGHTS OF WAY
Rights-of-way or easements for work to be constructed will be provided by the City. The Contractor shall make their own arrangements and pay all expenses for additional area required outside of the limits of rights-of-way or easements unless otherwise especially provided. In the event of delay on the part of the City, its officers, agents or employees in obtaining any such rights-of-way or easements for the work to be constructed, then the Contractor shall have time for the completion of their contract for the period or periods caused by such delay or delays but shall have no damages against the local agency, its officers, agents or employees.

o Erosion, or
o Sediments entering waterways or the drainage system, or o Pollutants entering waterways or the drainage system.

Erosion and sediment control measures shall be observed and maintained to ensure that they are operating correctly. Discharge locations or points shall be inspected regularly to ascertain whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing sedimentation and subsequent degradation of receiving water quality in violation of receiving water quality standards. Vehicle entry and exist locations shall be inspected for evidence of offsite sediment and pollutant tracking and need for cleanup and improved BMP protection measures 330
Part IV, Page 23
Deficiencies observed during inspections shall be noted and rectified before the end of the workday.

Permit (CGP), as applicable to the project. Projects subject to the CGP include those that disturb one or more acres of soil, are less than one acre and are part of a common plan of development or sale, or applicable Linear Water associated with Construction Activity Construction General Permit Order 2009 0009 DWQ, and subsequent amendments thereto. Construction activities subject to this permit include clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling, or excavation, but do not include regular maintenance activities performed to restore the original line, grade, or capacity of the facility. Application for CGP coverage is made by the Contractor through a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the SWRCB and involves much interaction with the applicable RWQCB as CGP regulator.

The Contractor shall develop and supply the City with NOI and associated Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for review and records purposes.

CGP coverage requires the development and implementation of a SWPPP. The SWPPP contents are mandated by the SWRCB and are subject to change, and typically contain site map(s) which shows the construction site perimeter, existing and proposed buildings, lots, roadways, storm water collection and discharge points, general topography both before and after construction, and drainage patterns across the project. The SWPPP must illustrate the placement of BMPs for the construction project and list pollution prevention BMPs the discharger will use to protect storm water runoff. Additionally, applicable SWPPPs must contain a visual monitoring program and a chemical monitoring program for "non visible" pollutants to be implemented. All SWPPPs must be developed by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) and implemented by a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP), and supplied to the City for review and comment. Additional CGP information on can be found at the State Water Resources Control Board CGP website:
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/constpermits.shtml Construction site storm water management and control measures shall be implemented year round regardless of and in a proactive manner during all seasons while construction is ongoing. perform periodic site monitoring visits to ensure the contractor complies with the requirements specified herein. The City shall provide copies of the completed site monitoring reports to the Contractor. In the event work is found noncompliant, a follow up site monitoring visit will be conducted to ensure non-compliant items have been corrected to the satisfaction of the City. If non-compliant items are not properly addressed prior to the follow up site monitoring payment.

TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
The following guidelines are established pursuant to Chapter 16.12 of the Sand City Municipal Code, which states:

The City Council of the City of Sand City finds that the trees located within the City limits are a valuable aesthetic resource. Removal of significant trees could reduce scenic beauty and the attractiveness of the area to residents, business owners and visitors.

1. The Tree Protection Guidelines shall apply to all "significant trees" in the City of Sand City, defined as any tree which is equal to or greater than 10 inches DBH.

2. These standards do not apply to unprotected trees or trees previously approved for removal as shown in the plan set.

3. All cut, fill, and/or building foundations shall be located a minimum of 4.0 times the diameter of the tree away from the outside edge of the trunk of all trees scheduled for preservation. However, the minimum distance permitted shall be 6' - 0", away from the outside edge of the trunk for all trees of a trunk diameter less than 331
Part IV, Page 24
2' - -
[Diameter at Standard Height (DSH)].

4. All significant trees shall be marked with a spot of paint, or flagging and temporarily fenced during construction. The marking serves to notify City inspectors and workers that the tree is to be fenced at all times during construction. Fencing and marking shall be installed prior to the issuance of building or grading permits and shall be located at the edge of the root zone. The root zone is determined to be that area located out a distance 15 times the trunk diameter in all directions. At no time shall the fencing be located closer than 3' - 0" from the outside edge of the trunk or further than 3' - 0" away from the approved building wall line, foundation, retaining wall, or grade cut, whichever provides the greater distance from the tree trunk. Tree Protection Fencing (TPF) shall consist of six (6) feet tall plastic snow fencing and shall be rigidly supported and maintained during all phases of construction. Fenced areas shall not be used for material stockpile, storage, vehicle parking, or dumping of materials, chemicals, or garbage. Fenced areas shall be maintained in a natural condition and not compacted. Removal of fencing shall only be approved by the City Planner.

5. All approved construction work within the root zone of trees scheduled for preservation shall observe the following minimum tree protection practices:
a. Hand trenching at point or line of grade cuts closest to the trunk to expose major roots 2" in diameter or larger. In cases where rock or unusually dense soil prevents hand trenching, mechanical equipment may be approved by the City Planner, provided that work is closely supervised to prevent tearing or other damage to major roots.
b. Exposed major roots shall be cut with a saw to form a smooth surface and avoid tears or jagged edges. c. Absorbent tarp or heavy cloth fabric shall be placed over new grade cuts where roots are exposed and secured by stakes. 2" to 4" of compost or woodchip mulch shall be spread over the tarp to prevent soil moisture loss. The tarp should be thoroughly wetted at least twice per week to ensure constant moisture levels until backfilling occurs. In very dry climate conditions, additional watering may be required to maintain a constant moisture level. This program of watering shall be maintained through all phases of construction including delays and other periods of inactivity.

6. All Tree Protection devices must be in place prior to the start of construction. Please contact the City Planner 831-394-3054 for inspection to confirm Tree Protection or with any general tree preservation questions.

7. Chapter 16.12, Significant Tree Protection, is available at https://ecode360.com/42879785.
