PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
AND APPROACH
Magic Mountain Parkway is a main thoroughfare in the City of Santa Clarita, connecting Interstate 5, Six Flags Magic Mountain and the newly constructed Five Point community on the west to Railroad Avenue on the east. Currently Magic Mountain Parkway is built out from Avignon Drive to Railroad Avenue. This project proposes to improve the final approximately 2,500 LF of Magic Mountain Parkway from Avignon Drive to Tourney Road. The project will be divided into two phases. Phase 1 will include the design and construction of a raised landscaped median along the length of the project. Phase 2 will include the design and construction of curb and gutter, sidewalk, parkway with landscape and irrigation, a Class I bike path ( from Tourney Road to the Iron Horse Trailhead), lodge pole fencing, signal installation ( at the Iron Horse Trailhead) and street lighting. Each phase will consist of a separate full set of plans, specifications and estimates.
ECG has prepared a systematic and thoughtful approach to manage this project from start to finish, g etting ahead of challenges and preparing solutions to issues upfront.
The following table summarizes anticipated key issues and our plan to address them in the most effective and efficient manner to successfully meet this project’s requirements. An itemized plan description follows, with a detailed exhibit supporting ECG’s approach to this project.

• Earth Systems, will perform coring in multiple locations to determine existing AC and base thicknesses.
• ECG will use this information in estimating removal and backfill costs.
• Recent City of Santa
Clarita Project Experience
• Circulation Phase II
• Circulation Phase III
Signing and Striping and Traffic Control
Interim signing and striping is required for the new median phase. Ultimate striping will be designed to a 30% level during Phase 1. Traffic control will also be needed for the median construction. • ECG and Lin Consulting have prepared a preliminary signing and striping design concept (see attached Exhibit A).
• ECG and Lin Consulting will work closely with the City Traffic Division to refine the signing and striping and traffic control designs.
• Recent City of Santa
Clarita Project Experience
• Circulation Phase II
• Circulation Phase III
Landscape and Irrigation
Landscape and irrigation will be needed in the new medians. • Pacific Coast Land Design (Landscape Architect Subconsultant) will perform the following:
- Layout of trees and shrubs with proposed plant palette in accordance with latest LMD Median Design Guidelines.
- Match existing maintenance strip paving in the area per LMD standards.
- Assess existing irrigation facilities and analyze potential for extending the existing system to the new medians.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
METHODOLOGY
PHASE 1 – RAISED LANDSCAPED MEDIANS
Currently there is an existing raised landscaped median that ends roughly 600’ west of Avignon Drive. This project proposes to connect to the end of this median and continue the new raised median west to Tourney Road. Openings in the median and turn lanes may need to be provided to maintain adequate access to the existing driveway entrances. ECG will work closely with the City project manager and Traffic Division to determine where openings in the median are necessary and/or desirable. Although the medians are a standalone phase of the project, they will need to designed in their ultimate condition so no rework is needed when Phase 2 is constructed.
LID/Green Streets
Because a substantial portion of the project corridor is a superelevated curve, there is a portion of the street that will drain toward the median. As a result, we see an opportunity to utilize a portion of the median for stormwater treatment by incorporating BMPs such as rain or rock gardens. ECG will utilize a geotechnical subconsultant (Earth Systems) to perform soil testing in the areas that have potential for stormwater treatment to measure infiltration rates. ECG will work closely with the City to select the appropriate treatment BMP for each location in accordance with the City of Santa Clarita Green Street LID Manual.

Coring
Prior to being transferred to the City of Santa Clarita, Magic Mountain Parkway was owned and operated by Caltrans. It is unknown how thick the existing asphalt section is and it will be important to gather this information during Phase 1 in order to estimate the amount of asphalt and base that will need to be removed during the median construction. ECG will utilize a geotechnical subconsultant (Earth Systems) to perform coring at multiple locations within the limits of median construction in order to verify the existing depth of asphalt and base.
Signing and Striping and Traffic Control
Interim signing and striping will need to be provided for the new median phase of the project. The interim signing and striping will need to match up with the existing striping conditions at both limits of the project corridor. Additionally, the ultimate striping will need to be designed to a 30% level with Phase 1. Traffic control will also be needed for the median phase of this project. ECG and Lin Consulting (traffic engineering subconsultant) have developed a preliminary striping design concept in Exhibit A, attached. However, ECG and Lin Consulting will work closely with the City to review the advantages and disadvantages of the attached design concept to develop a layout that is most desirable for the City. ECG and Lin Consulting have extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.
Landscape and Irrigation
Landscape and irrigation design will be needed for the new raised medians. ECG’s Landscape Architect subconsultant, Pacific Coast Land Design (PCLD) will assess the conditions within the existing nearby medians and the areas of the project where new medians are to be constructed.
PCLD will layout trees and shrubs with a proposed plant palette that will be based on the current edition of the LMD Median Design Guidelines and coordination with LMD and Urban Forestry Staff.
The existing maintenance strip paving in this area is a tan colored and stamped slate stone tile patterned concrete. Based on current project experience where an established paving material is present, the new paving will match the existing in color and pattern. The team is well familiar with the many stamped patterns and concrete colors utilized in all medians across the City and will use the standard details and reference specifications to define the new hardscape. Existing irrigation facilities will be assessed to review the potential of extending the existing system to the new medians. Considerations for irrigation controller station capacity, existing sleeving and length of mainline runs will be key in determining the feasibility of system expansion. New facilities will be proposed as needed. PCLD has extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.
Street Improvements, Class I Bike Path, Traffic Signal and Street Lighting – 30% Design In order to ensure that the Phase 1 medians will be coordinated with the Phase 2 ultimate street improvements a 30% design of the Phase 2 improvements will need to be completed during Phase
1. ECG and Lin Consulting (traffic engineering subconsultant) have analyzed the corridor and constraints and have developed a preliminary design concept in Exhibit A, attached. ECG and Lin Consulting will work closely with the City to review the advantages and disadvantages of the attached design concept to develop a layout that is most desirable for the City.

PHASE 2 – CURB AND GUTTER, PARKWAY, SIDEWALK, BIKE PATH, FENCING, SIGNAL AND STREET LIGHTING
Phase 2 of the Magic Mountain Parkway beautification project will include the design and construction of curb and gutter, sidewalk, parkway with landscape and irrigation, a Class I bike lane (from Tourney Road to the Iron Horse Trailhead), lodge pole fencing, signal installation (at the Iron Horse Trailhead) and street lighting. On the west side of the project limits, at Tourney Road, the curb-to-curb width of the street appears to be roughly 108’. On the east side of the project limits, west of Avignon Drive, the curb-to-curb width appears to be roughly 129’. The City intends to maintain the existing 6 lane configuration through the project corridor. ECG has analyzed the existing constraints such has utility conflicts, right-of-way widths and grading constraints and we have prepared a preliminary design concept in Exhibit A, attached. This exhibit illustrates what we believe is the most advantageous layout for the project corridor. However, ECG and team will work closely with the City to review the advantages and disadvantages of the attached design concept to develop a layout that is most desirable for the City. ECG and team have extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.
Class I Bike Path
The City intends to construct a
Class I Bike path along Magic
Mountain Parkway between
Tourney Road and the Iron
Horse Trailhead for safer and
more convenient access to the
trailhead for bicyclists. One of
the biggest design challenges of
this project will be the
determination of the optimal
location for the bike path. Along
the north side of the street there
is minimal right-of-way, a steep
drop-off and a large Caltrans
retaining wall and storm drain
outlet headwall. Along the south
side of the street there are
conflicts with utilities, traffic
signal poles and cabinets, trees and a bus stop. Because of the nature of these constraints, we believe that the south side of the street will be the better location for the bike path. This will result in much less impact to the Caltrans right-of-way and much smaller retaining walls needed on the north side of the street. ECG and team will review and field investigate all potential conflicts and will provide the City with detailed recommendations including proposed clearances and conflict relocations.

LID/Green Streets
Because of the right-of-way widths along the project corridor, this project is a good candidate for stormwater treatment BMPs. As a result, we see an opportunity to utilize the curb adjacent parkway areas for stormwater treatment in accordance with the City of Santa Clarita Green Street LID Manual. These portions of parkway may be good candidates for vegetated swales, rain/rock gardens, tree box filters or other acceptable LID BMPs. ECG will utilize a geotechnical subconsultant (Earth Systems) to perform soil testing in the areas that have potential for stormwater treatment to measure infiltration rates. ECG will work closely with the City to select the appropriate treatment BMP for each location.
Retaining Walls
Because there is a steep drop-off along the north side of Magic Mountain Parkway between Tourney Road and the Iron Horse Trailhead, a retaining wall will most likely be needed to support any road widening. Additionally, a new guardrail will be needed on top of the retaining wall. By constructing the bike path on the south side of the street (as recommended above) and utilizing a minimal sidewalk width for this stretch along the north side of the street, the height of this retaining wall can be minimized. ECG will utilize a geotechnical subconsultant (Earth Systems) to perform soil testing in the areas that require retaining walls in order to gather structural design recommendations. Our in-house retaining wall design engineer will provide the structural design and calculations for any required retaining walls and guard rails. The wall and footing design will focus on minimizing the impact to the Caltrans right-of-way, existing retaining wall and drainage outlet headwall to the north.
ECG will coordinate with Caltrans and/or LACDPW as needed to obtain any permits or approvals.
Driveways
There are multiple existing properties along the project limits that will need new driveways for maintained access. Along the south side of the street, east of the Iron Horse Trailhead there are two Edison yard entrances, an LA County Flood Control maintenance entrance and a Valencia Country Club maintenance entrance that will require new driveways. Along the north side of the street, east of the Iron Horse Trailhead there is an entrance to a vacant parking lot and what appears to be an Edison maintenance entrance that will most likely require new driveways. ECG will provide detailed driveway design for all new driveways to comply with SPPWC Standard Plan 110-2 and City details and specifications. We will examine each driveway location individually to account for all surface conflicts and work closely with the City staff to design the type of driveway (Type A, B or C) that is most desirable for the City at each location. ECG has extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent City of Santa Clarita projects.
Signing and Striping and Traffic Control
Detailed signing and striping design will be needed for Phase 2 of the project. The interim striping from Phase 1 will be removed and the ultimate striping concept designed to a 30% level during Phase 1 will be completed. ECG’s traffic engineering subconsultant, Lin Consulting will prepare signing and striping plans for the 6 lane corridor including left turn pockets at existing property entrances where desired. Lin Consulting will assess the existing available traffic data and analyze the length of left turn pocket at Iron Horse Trailhead and the crosswalk location crossing Magic City of Santa Clarita
Magic Mountain Beautification Project Proposal

Encompass Consultant Group PAGE 23 An Employee-Owned Company
Mountain Parkway. Traffic control plans will also be required for Phase 2. Lin Consulting will coordinate with the ECG team and the City Traffic Division to organize construction traffic control plans. It should be noted, that just west of the project limits is the I-5 freeway and Caltrans right-of- way. ECG and Lin Consulting will coordinate with Caltrans to obtain traffic control plan approval.
ECG and Lin Consulting have extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.
Traffic Signal and Interconnect/Fiber Optic Plan
As part of Phase 2 of this project, a new signalized intersection will be added at Magic Mountain Parkway and the Iron Horse Trailhead. This signal will provide safer access to and from the Iron Horse Trailhead for bicyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, traffic signal upgrades will most likely be needed at Magic Mountain Parkway and Tourney Road. Traffic signal interconnect/fiber optic plans can be provided as an optional task.
During the initial site investigation, the team
identified a potential conflict between the SCE
high voltage overhead power lines and the new
signal poles at the Iron Horse Trailhead. ECG
and Lin Consulting will coordinate with SCE and
the City to strategically place the new signal poles
based on CAMUTCD standard pole placement to
ensure that the overhead high voltage wires have
adequate clearances. Lin Consulting has
extensive experience with this type of design on
similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.
Landscape and Irrigation
Landscape and irrigation design will also be needed for the new parkways designed in Phase 2. The existing parkways in proximity to the project limits contain a mix of tree and shrub planting on the south side of the roadway and trees and turf on the north side. It is assumed that the new parkways will include implementation of green streets and LID best practices for water quality improvements and that the planting will be a key component in these improvements. ECG’s Landscape Architect subconsultant, Pacific Coast Land Design (PCLD) will layout trees and shrubs based on the current edition of the LMD Median Design Guidelines, the City Green Street LID Design Manual and coordination with LMD and Urban Forestry Staff. Existing irrigation facilities will be assessed to review the potential of extending the existing syst em to the new parkways. Considerations for irrigation controller station capacity, existing sleeving, length of mainline runs and physical barriers within the parkway areas will be key in determining the feasibility of system expansion. New facilities will be proposed as needed. PCLD has extensive experience with this type of design on similar recent projects in the City of Santa Clarita.

Right-of-way / Easement Coordination
Upon initial analysis of the project limits and existing right-of-way widths, it appears that Phase 2 of this project will require some right-of-way acquisition and/or construction easement establishment.
ECG will perform detailed right-of-way monument research and reconnaissance to establish accurate existing right-of-way lines. Along the north side of the street, the areas that appear to need new right-of-way or easements are between Tourney Road and the Iron Horse Trailhead. There is also a small segment that may be needed on the north side of the street on the far eastern side of the project limits. However, it may be possible to avoid this small area of right-of-way by narrowing the sidewalk. ECG will explore this in detail during the preliminary design. Along the south side of the project, the areas that appear to need new right-of-way or easements are from roughly 250’ west of the Iron Horse Trailhead to the eastern project limits. ECG w ill prepare exhibits as needed for discussions with property owners and prepare legal documentation as required for right-of-way acquisition and construction easement establishment. ECG has extensive experience with this type of work on similar recent City of Santa Clarita projects.
EXISTING UTILITY COORDINATION
ECG performed a preliminary site walk of the project limits and many potential surface utility conflicts were observed. The types of utility appurtenances that may conflict with the new improvements include manholes, meters, vaults, pu ll boxes, sprinklers and irrigation systems, air vac cans, storm drain catch basins, traffic signs, monument signs, utility cabinets and traffic signal poles. ECG will perform a detailed topographic survey of the project area in which we will document the size and location of all surface utility items. We will also perform detailed existing utility research to acquire existing as-built plans and, where necessary, we will utilize a subsurface utility location consultant, Spearhead Locators, to locate underground utility lines. With our design, ECG will try to avoid these conflicts wherever possible to minimize costs and construction time frame. Where conflicts are unavoidable, our in-house utility coordinator, will manage adjustments or relocations with the affected utility providers. It will be crucially important to get the affected utility providers onboard as early as possible in the design process. Some of the utility providers and other stakeholders that we anticipate being affected by this project are Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Caltrans, Los Angeles County Sanitation District, Spectrum, and AT&T. ECG has extensive experience coordinating with these local utility provider

TASK 2: PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
Subtask 2.1.1: Field Reconnaissance
Using available mapping our team will walk the ent ire site to document the existing conditions.
Pictures and video will be taken and cataloged for use by the entire design team. We will identify areas requiring topographic surveying (e.g., curb ramps, utilities), as well as any other conditions that may require coordination with our sub-consultants and/or other agencies. ECG shall note existing conditions that may impact the design. Extra time will be spent documenting existing utilities within the locations designated for Class 1 Bike Lane and where existing utilities may require relocation.
ECG will identify the items to be catalogued through field surveying existing utilities such as, irrigation facilities, traffic facilities, wet and dry utilities, monument signs and any other conditions that may require team coordination and/ or coordination with other agencies.
ECG and its sub consultants shall evaluate all components against current California MUTCD standards, Caltrans Standard Specification and Standard Specifications and Plans for Public Works Construction (Greenbook)
The principal objective of gathering the existing information is to be familiar with the field conditions and to observe the traffic operations. ECG and its traffic team will do a complete field review to ensure errors are not missed during the design phase. Our team utilizes field review as a tool to collect and verify information to ensure the accuracy of our plans and specifications.
Output:
1. Document and map existing conditions for use on design basemap.
2. Determine topographical survey limits.

Subtask 2.1.2: Document Research, Utility Mapping
Along with the initial site investigation, ECG will contact dry and wet utility companies and agencies to obtain record drawing information to document existing utilities within the work area specifically where relocations, grading and removals are proposed. Record utility maps will be compiled onto an existing utility basemap used for design.
Out team will reference and review all documents received from the City and agencies including the existing buildings, site facilities, and street improvement drawings.
ECG will contact USA Dig Alert to obtain a list of providers and utility owners for the project area.
We will send a letter, on City letterhead, and map to each entity on the list with a request for maps or a clearance statement. A log will be maintained documenting the contacted utility companies’ responses and coordination notes.
Once the existing utilities are compiled onto the survey design basemap, ECG will overlay the proposed improvements and develop a plan showing potential existing utility relocations and conflicts. Existing utility plans will be submitted and reviewed to confirm potential tree removals, utilities conflicts and design options to avoid relocations.
Based on the existing utility research and field investigations performed by the team, ECG will verify the plans provided by the City are reasonably accurate. Information gathered will be used to determine the location and feasibility of improvements to be included in the current scope.
ECG shall collect and review available data for use
and reference associated with the project traffic
signals. Prior to the field review LCI will coordinate
with ECG on the following assumptions:
The project Class I design location,
alignment and width
Utility coordination regarding the overhead
clearances. See figure 1.
In the preparation of the Preliminary Engineering,
our team will:
Review base data information and as-builts,
topo, improvement plans, utility information;
Review survey information, and other
available record data;
Our team will conduct a thorough field review at each project site and along the project area, in order to prepare thorough base plans. Our field review will consist, but not limited to collecting the following:
Striping, street lighting, and power poles;
Traffic signal equipment;

Communication type and associated equipment (e.g., Ethernet switches, fiber distribution units, splice closures, fiber optic cable, terminal servers, fiber optic modems, wireless radio and equipment, twist-pair/copper cable, termination blocks, etc.); Communication conduit sizes, pull boxes, conduit sweeps, and cables; Other field conditions that might affect a design decision;
Upon completion of the above items, our team shall identify potential constraints that may be encountered in relation to the proposed improvements. This information will be used to prepare base mapping and proposed improvements at the project improvements. This information will also be used as our foundation for our inventory and assessment of existing conditions, recommended improvements and preparation of the project plans.
Our goal is to develop a basemap that is as accurate as possible utilizing the most current information available.
Output:
1. Existing utility basemap
2. Existing utility response log
3. Field notes
Subtask 2.1.3 Supplement Survey
Perform field survey to locate pavement, curbs, drives, walks, building footprints, fences, walls, planters, and visible surface utilities, together with topographic features such as tops, toes, flow lines, grade breaks, etc. within the project limits (See Exhibit A) Pavement and surface materials will also be identified. Trees larger than 4” in diameter will be located and shown on the map.
Download and compute survey data, and prepare an AutoCAD drawing file. The mapping will be compiled at a scale of 1” = 20’ with a 1-foot contour interval. Each surveyed feature will be clearly labeled or noted by symbol as identified in the field.
Subtask 2.1.4 Record Right of Way Compilation
Perform field survey to search for and recover existing record monuments sufficient in number to compile the record documents. The monuments will be tied to the project control survey, and will be used to orient the boundary to the project mapping datum.
Research of pertinent recorded maps and documents. Compile project right of way based on the information contained in the latest available assessor site information (no title reports are proposed during the preliminary engineering phase). The computed rights of way will be added to the AutoCAD drawing base map. Resolving boundary problems, such as conflicting descriptions, gaps/overlaps and misclosures, are beyond the scope of this proposal.
Output:
1. Topographic survey of existing conditions.
2. Existing rights of way as determined from available records and County assessor maps.

3. Deliverables: AutoCAD drawing files via email, FTP or DVD as appropriate and a PDF signed and sealed digitally by a California Licensed Lands Surveyor. Sheet layout will include title sheet with surveyor’s notes, vicinity map, legend, and a control point listing with descriptions and coordinates for use in construction documents. Hardcopies available upon request.
Subtask 2.1.5: Utility Potholing and Utility Locating
Pothole and map existing utilities to evaluate potential utility conflicts during project design. Taft Electric will perform potholing services to confirm critical utilities. An assumed 5 field days (approx. 4 to 6 locations per day) for potholing will be budgeted if needed. We estimate approximately 33 street lights and 2 signal poles. Potholing shall be performed after proposed utility locations have been approved by the City. Pothole information shall be identified on the plans. ECG will prepare pothole locations exhibit to identify the proposed potholing based on utilities encountered.
Perform subsurface utility locating for areas designated for the Class I Bike Lane. Spearhead Locating Services will locate and mark underground utilities including gas, water, electric, fiber optic, storm drain, water and sewer. They will utilize electromagnetic location equipment to positively identify utilities in the median to be removed. Once the utilities are marked, and paint is still fresh, our survey crews will collect the markings during the supplemental survey field work. Findings will be photographed and documented in a report. An assumed 5 field days for utility location services will be budgeted.
After the 30% Conceptual Plan is approved, ECG shall work with the City prior to authorization of the potholing and utility locations services to determine the amount of effort required to complete these tasks. ECG will work with our subs to adjust their agreements based on the revised scope.
Both potholing and utility location services will be provided during Phase 1.
Output:
1. Potholing report
2. Subsurface utility location report.
Subtask 2.1.5: Geotechnical Investigations and Report
Perform geotechnical investigations and provide recommendations for design. ECG will review the survey topographical map to identify locations for potential retaining wall locations. Hight of the retaining walls will be considered. Investigations shall include six (6) AC coring and four (4) percolation testing in various locations. The percolation testing results will be used to prepare LID Green Street Options. ECG will coordinate with the geotechnical subconsultant Earth Systems to identify testing locations and report revisions. Earth Systems will use the field exploration data and laboratory testing results to base their recommendations. Seismic requirements and expansive soil characteristics will be used for design of the proposed retaining walls and concrete

work. Retaining walls may be necessary but will not be determined until after the 30% conceptual plan is approved.
Output:
1. Geotechnical report including AC coring, percolation testing, and seismic design criteria
Subtask 2.1.6: Utility Coordination
We anticipate adjustments and relocations of existing utilities and will require extensive coordination. ECG will lead the utility coordination effort throughout the project. ECG shall gather the potholing information, subsurface identification data, and existing utility markings onto a single existing utility basemap. The proposed improvements will be overlayed to create and utility conflict plan. The existing utilities identified to be in conflict and require relocation will be coordinated. ECG will engage the utility agencies to coordinate and meet with each agency. Early utility coordination will help minimize the duration required to resolve conflicts.
ECG shall coordinate with Southern California Edison Sub-Station representatives to ensure the Design maintains access to their facilities. Robert Briggs [email protected] & David Decker [email protected] . ECG currently holds an on-call contract with Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency and will coordinate their representatives on the Backcountry Pump Station project on Magic Mountain Parkway to ensure both projects are designed and constructed with minimal impact. Robert Banuelos [email protected]. ECG shall coordinate and incorporate specifications, details and notes received from each utility provider requiring relocation.
In addition to the utility notices requesting record drawings noted in Subtask 2.2, ECG will be prepared and send the following notices for the following:
1. Record drawings Request (Per subtask 2.2)
2. Notice for potential conflicts- Follow up meetings may be required with utility agencies to coordinate and discuss their utilities in conflict. Our goal is to obtain an understanding with the utility agency on the plan for relocation. Plans and exhibits will be prepared in support of these meetings.
3. Notify agency to relocated utility- Once the utilities to be relocated and have been agreed upon, ECG will prepare and send a notice to relocate the utility. The goal is to put the utility agency on notice to prepare for relocation either prior or during construction.
4. Notice for construction. This will be the final notice identifying the estimated construction date and provide copies of the final construction plans.
A utility coordination log, or matrix, will be prepared to easily track and document communication and coordination efforts with utility agencies.

Subtask 2.2: Design Phasing
We understand that the City of Santa Clarita is interested in separating this project into two phases.
ECG’s project manager will coordinate all aspects of the proposed phasing with the design team and will work with the city to fine tune the approach to the phasing including timing. The project schedule will include both phases and will provide updates as necessary to the City.
It is understood between Phase I and Phase II an asphalt overlay project will occur (not under this contract). New asphalt will be installed within the project limits. The City has recommended to design the median, curb, gutter and all underground utilities be designed and constructed for Phase I prior to the asphalt overlay project
The following are the proposed phasing for the project. The final phasing will be determined after the 30% conceptual plan is completed.
30% Concept Plan (All Phases):
30% Concept Plans for the entirety of the proposed street improvements. Street improvements include a 6-lane roadway with a new raised landscaped center median, existing median modifications, curb, gutter, sidewalk, Class I bike trail, utility improvements, utility relocations, lodge pole fencing, retaining wallsand parkway landscaping, a signal at Iron Horse Trail Head/ MMP, street lighting and LID Green Streets improvements.
Phase I – Work shall include:
Complete set of Plans, Specifications and Estimates for improvements between the north and south back of curb from Avignon Drive to Tourney Rd. Improvements include, but not limited to the following: New street median and modifications including the relocation of the existing City of Santa Clarita Monument including foundation, street curb and gutter, utility relocations, retaining walls, striping and signage, interim striping and signage plan, interim street lighting plan, new traffic signal, traffic control plans, SWPPP and LID green street improvements,
For the purposes of this proposal, we assume that the traffic signal will be installed during Phase 1 in preparation for the street overlay project (by others). If the traffic signal plan is be part of Phase 2 after the 30% conceptual design phase is completed, then ECG will work with the city to reallocate the bucket from Phase 1 scope to the Phase 2 scope of work.
Phase II – Work shall include:

responsible for the design
of civil engineering
improvements for public
and private projects
throughout Ventura, Los
Angeles, and Santa
Barbara Counties. His
experience involves new
construction and upgrades for projects ranging from educational facilities, recreational parks, residential and industrial developments, and roadway improvements. These projects
required flood analyses, drainage and hydraulic calculations and reports, site grading, as well as the design of utility improvements including storm drains, waterlines, and sanitary sewer lines.
He is also tasked with ensuring projects comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit. With his extensive experience in the field, projects are designed to implement the most feasible Best Management Practices (BMPs) required and that new development and
redevelopment projects reduce urban runoff pollution to the "maximum extent practicable” (MEP). Roadway projects have specific requirements separate from other development
categories. Measures include integrating USEPA guidance for “Managing Wet Weather with Green Infrastructure: Green Streets” to the MEP (i.e., minimize street width, use porous pavement or pavers, and add tree canopy by planting or preserving
trees/shrubs), provide Retention or Biofiltration BMPs sized to capture and treat the Stormwater Quality Design Volume or Flow.

Attention: Mr. Sal Contreras, P.E., Principal Engineer
Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Services
Project: Proposed Magic Mountain Beautification Improvements Magic Mountain Parkway
Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, California
Earth Systems Pacific (Earth Systems) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional geotechnical services for the above referenced project. Since 1969, the Earth Systems gr oup of companies has provided expert geo -professional se rvices to ass ist our client s through all aspects of geotechnical and geologic engineering, environmental engineering, and co nstruction related materials testing and inspection services . Through our previous work in the region, our dedicated staff understands the diverse geotechnical, geologic, and construction-related issues that may affe ct the proposed project a nd will work t o dev elop practical and economical geotechnical engineering solutions through innovative approaches.
We have prepared this proposal based on our understanding of preliminary project information provided in emails from Mr. Sal Contreras on November 21 , 20 22. We un derstand that th e proposed project will be developed under the regulation of the 2019 California Building Code (CBC). Based upon the anticipated cond itions, the followin g sections de scribe our understanding of t he project and our ant icipated scope o f services in order to meet the a bove requirements.
This project wil l be managed by M s. Renee Morales , GE 3170, who will al so oversee the engineering evaluati on and report preparation. Mr. Anthony Mazzei, GE 2823 will be the Principal on the project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Earth Systems understands the proposed project will consist of improvements along both sides of Magic Mountain Parkway from Tourney Road to Fairways Drive in the City of S anta Clarita, California. Based on our review of the scope exhibit, the development may consist of new pedestrian flatwork and curbs along both sides of Magic Mountain Parkway, pavement improvements, a retaining wall along the northern portion of Magic Mountain Parkway , and infiltration basins. At this time the height of the retaining wall was not made available. We understand that th e proposed project will be developed un der the regulation of the 2019 California Building Code (CBC).
December 5, 2022 2 Proposal No.: PAL-22-12-001
EARTH SYSTEMS PACIFIC
Preliminary design plans were not available at the time that this proposal was prepared ; however, most of the improvement areas are generally flat and, as such, we have assumed that proposed finished grades will likely be within five feet of existing site grades.
The purpose of our study will be to explore the subsurface conditions and provide g eotechnical recommendations for project design. This p roposal contains a brief project descrip tion, our proposed approach to the project based upon our initial asses sment of s ite conditions and readily available information, our proposed scope of services, schedule, and proposed fee.
Since d etailed servic es may involve gr eater expense, we ask that our cli ents participate in determining t he level of service, that will provide adequate in formation for t heir purposes.
Please review this information and our proposed scope. If you s hould have any questions or suggested revisions to our scope, please do not he sitate to contact the sig natory of this proposal.
Our p roposal is ba sed up on the assump tion that we will be provide d full access to the site during normal business hours (M -F, 7am to 6pm) to complete fie ld activities and that drilling with a gasoline powered drill rig equipped with a 140-pound hammer to drive the soil samplers can be used at the site.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope will include performing subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and preparing one report of our fi ndings in ac cordance with the 2019 CBC. Once field and laboratory te sting are completed, th e data will be organiz ed by a member of our professional staff to develop conclusions and recommendations relevant to site devel opment as we unde rstand it . As required by the CBC, our report will be signed and stamped by a California registered Engineer.
Task 1 – Coring of Existing Pavement Section
Earth Systems will begin fieldwork preparation by marking the exploratory boring locations .
Once the boring locations are marked, we will contact Underground Service Alert (USA) to determine if proposed exploratory locations are within a public utility right -of-way. The City will need to provide Earth Systems with the locations of any on-site utilities not marked by USA prior to commencement of our drilling activities. Earth Systems will not be held responsible for damage to any utilities that were not marked or that were not brought to our attention prior to beginning our drilling activities.
The project will require advancing borings at various locations along Magic Mountain Parkway.
It is anticipated that traffic control plans will be required. The cost associated with preparation of the traffic plan and preparation of the encroachment permit applications has been included in our estimated costs. However, Earth Systems has assumed that the encroachment p ermit fees from the City of Santa Clarita will be waived.
Earth Systems will drill six (6) exploratory test borings within the project area. The test borings will be drilled to a depth of 5 feet below the existing pavement surface. The existing structural pavement section will be measured at each test boring location . As the borings are drilled, standard penetration tests will be performed (ASTM D 1586) and soil samples will be obtained December 5, 2022 3 Proposal No.: PAL-22-12-001
EARTH SYSTEMS PACIFIC
using a ring-lined barrel sampler (ASTM D 3550). Bulk soil samples will also be obtained from the auger cuttings. The boreholes will be backfilled with pea gravel to the bottom level of the existing pavement section, and the remainder of the borehole will be backfilled with cold-patch asphalt.
Traffic control will be provid ed throughout the drilling activities in accordance with the traffic control plans. T raffic control services will be subcontracted by Earth Systems to Traffic Management, Inc. The cost for providing traffic control has been included in our estimated cost.
Task 2 – Percolation Testing (Optional)
Four test borings will be drilled during our above field exploration and will be used for the boring percolation test procedure. We are proposin g approximately 5 -foot to 10-foot percolation tests. Our percolation t ests will be performed concurrently at the time of the geotechnical exploration. Perforated PV C pipe and gravel will be placed into the test hole to hold it open during the test, and the test hole will be pre -soaked and allowed to sit overnight.
The gravel will be accounted for in our calculation.
Percolation testing will consist of adding approximately two feet of clean water to the test hole.
Adding the water wil l allow measuring the r ate at which the water perco lates into the subsurface by periodically measuring the drop of the water surface over time. The tests will last approximately four to eight hours depending on if a stabilized rate is achieved and upon the soil types encountered. Percolation results will b e converted to infiltration results where needed using empirical tech niques (Porchet) in general accordance with the L os Angeles County criteria. Testing will be performed in accordance with the Small Diameter Boring, Shallow Infiltration Test pro cedure in the Los Angeles County P ublic Works Geotechnical and Materials Engineering Division manual. Encompass Consultant Group should confirm the testing m ethod above satisfies the project requirements prior to the start of work.
Task 3 – Geotechnical Investigation for Retaining Wall (Optional) Earth Sy stems will begin fieldwork preparation by marking the exploratory boring locations .
Once the boring locations are marked, we will contact Underground Service Alert (USA) to determine if proposed exploratory locations are within a public utility right -of-way. The City will need to provide Earth Systems with the locations of any on-site utilities not marked by USA prior to commencement of our drilling activities. Earth Systems will not be held responsible for damage to any utilities that were not marked or that were not brought to our attention prior to beginning our drilling activities.
Earth Systems assumes that the exploratory borings for the retaining wall can be drilled along the shoulder of the Magic Mountain Parkway, and that traffic control will not be needed. Earth Systems Assumes that this will be satisfactory to the City.
Earth Systems will drill 3 to 4 exploratory test borings along the retaining wall alignment . T he test borings will be drilled to depths ranging from 15 to 50 feet below the e xisting ground surface. Because the site lies within a liquefact ion hazard zone, the 50-foot-deep boring will be drilled to evaluate the liquefaction potential. As the borings are drilled, standard penetration tests will be performed (ASTM D 1586) and soi l samples will be obtained using a ring -lined December 5, 2022 4 Proposal No.: PAL-22-12-001
EARTH SYSTEMS PACIFIC
barrel sampler (ASTM D 3550). Bulk soil samples will also be obtained from the auger cuttings .
The boreholes will be backfilled with pea gravel to the bottom level of the existing pavement section, and the remainder of the borehole will be backfilled with cold-patch asphalt.
Laboratory testing will be performed on soil samples collected during the field exploration to help identify and evaluate subsurface site characteristics. Tests should include, but may not be limited to: measuring in -place moisture and density , direct shear testing of remolded samples of bearing soils; consolidation testing of in -situ soils within the influence of anticipated loading; expansion index testing of anticipated bearing soils; gra in size and plasticity analyses of key soil types; and pH, resistivity, soluble chloride and soluble sulfate testing of soils anticipated to be in contact with foundations.
Once field and laboratory tests are complete the data will be organized and analyze d by a member of our professional staff in order to develop conclusions and recommendations relevant to site development as we understand it.
A Geotechnical Engineering Report will be prepared based on evaluation of the data obtained from the exploratio n and testing programs, and on experience and jud gment. Included in the report will be discussion of regional and local geologic conditions; descriptions of the field and laboratory tests performed during our studies, discussions pertaining to the enginee ring properties of soil types encountered on-site, and recommendations for site improvement based on the geological and geotechnical conditions. Recommendations will include: criteria for grading; seismic design parameters; vertical, lateral and bearing p ressures for use in structural design; estimated total and differen tial settlements; minimum foundation design criteria; and geohazard mitigation measures that should be implemented into the project (if any).
Task 4 – Consultation
If needed, w e have included 6 hours of consultation during report preparation an d design, or unforeseen iss ues that m ay occur during ou r explorat ion or analysis. This fee is Time an d Materials and will only be used if needed.
FEES
It is our desire to provide you with the highest quality services at reasonable fees. On behalf of Earth Systems, w e look forward to working with you. For th is project our estimated fees are provided below.
We propose to complete the proposed scope of work on a fixed fee basis as detailed below:
Task 1 - Coring of Existing Pavement Section (Includes Traffic Control) $11,5 00.00
Task 2 – Percolation Testing (Optional) $9,300.00
Task 3 – Geotechnical Investigation for Retaining Wall (Optional) $ 11,700.00
Task 4 - Consultation (T&M) $1,140.00

EARTH SYSTEMS PACIFIC
If the fie ld work for Tasks 1 through 3 are performed concurrently, the drilling cost may be reduced due to less mobilizations to the project site.
The fee for Tasks 1-3 should be sufficient to provide a report typically approved by reviewing agencies. However, if there is request for additional review, responses, plan reviews, reporting, meetings, information beyond the normal review process and reporting re quirements detailed herein, or any o ther service no t sp ecifically d etailed, additional f ees will be r equired.
Additionally, our fee does not include testing or obser vation during construction or consultation. If required, se rvices in ad dition to the s cope of w ork described above ca n b e billed on a time-and-expense basis, based on the fee schedule in effect at that time.
SCHEDULE
Based on the r equested information, we feel confident that we can provide the geotechnical engineering report as outlined i n this pr oposal in an expeditio us manner. Typically, o nce authorization to enter the prop erty and a si gned contract is received, we can mark respe ctive boring locations in the field. Subsequent to field marking, we will contact Underground Service Alert which require s 48 hours notific ation p rior to any und erground ex cavation or dri lling.
Depending on s ubcontractor availability, we anticipate excav ating our field borings within two to three weeks after the minimum 48 hours wait re quired by Underground Service Alert.
Drilling operation s for Task 1 w ill take approximately one day, whereas the drilling for Task 3 (optional) will take approximately one to two days. Infiltration testing for Task 2 (optional) will take approximately 2 to 3 days.
Laboratory testing for Task 2 (optional) is a nticipated to t ake four w eeks after drill ing is completed. This time frame is go verned by the type of testing pe rformed as c ertain tes ts anticipated for this project require at least one week to run. Normal time frames f rom receipt of authorization to re port submittal i s approximately six to eight weeks. If reques ted, we ca n provide design data in the interim period before the report is finalized.
Our proposal is bas ed on the understanding that o ur services, as outlined in this proposal, are not subject to Prevailing Wage Law for non-professional field staff (i.e., drillers and helpers).
TERMS FOR SERVICE
