RE: Proposal for Newhall Ave Railroad Crossing Improvements Project — Professional Design Services & Construction Support — #CIP-24-25-C2029
The City of Santa Clarita (City) is partnering with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), Caltrans, and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to improve the at-grade crossing at Newhall Avenue and Railroad Avenue, which has been identified as a candidate location for the federal Section 130 funding. This project offers an extraordinary opportunity to improve safety and mobility at this crossing, resulting in a better travelling experience for local residents and regional commuters and a reduction of the congestion that currently exists at this crossing. Kimley-Horn is highly experienced in solving challenges unique to railroad at-grade crossings. Because of our extensive experience with the City, SCRRA, Caltrans, CPUC, and Metro on grade crossing projects, we have an unmatched understanding of each agency’s permitting procedures, allowing us to minimize delays and expedite submittal and application approvals. Our team offers the City the following benefits:

Successful and Committed Partnership with the City. Kimley-Horn has been actively involved in the City of Santa Clarita for over 20 years, and we have recently opened a Santa Clarita office in order to better serve you. We are proud of our partnership with you, and members of our proposed team have led many projects for the City over the years, including signal design at the Newhall Avenue/Railroad Avenue intersection as well as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Phases II, IIA, III, IV, V, VI, and VII projects; Newhall Avenue Bicycle Facilities; Sierra Highway Traffic Signal Interconnect and Adaptive System; Dynamic Lane at Soledad Canyon Road and Sierra Highway; and the recently awarded Sports Complex Buildout project. These projects have led to strong relationships which serve as the foundation for this effort, eliminating any barriers to communication and learning curves that come with understanding City design standards and preferences.

Devoted and Knowledgeable Project Team. Our team will be led by project manager Eugene Huang, PE, a transportation professional who has played key roles in the delivery of three Section 130-funded grade crossing improvement projects for City of Lancaster at Avenues J, K, and M as well as Metro’s Countywide Grade Crossing and Corridor Safety Program, which ranked and provided safety recommendations for 110 at-grade crossings within LA County. He will be supported by deputy project manager Yiota Georgalis, PE, who worked alongside Eugene on the Lancaster crossing improvements projects and has led several projects for the City of Santa Clarita, including the Citywide Guardrail Upgrade project. Eugene and Yiota will be supported by a team of experienced engineers and subject matter experts including Darren Adrian, PE, who is currently serving as contract manager for Kimley-Horn’s on-call work with SCRRA; Brent Ogden, PE, TE, PTOE, who has authored numerous grade crossing guideline documents, including a major update to USDOT’s Highway-Rail Crossing Handbook, Third Edition; Lauren Jumanan, PE, who is leading our team on Phase 3 of CPUC’s Statewide Railroad Crossing Inventory and Field Survey; Matt Gibson, PE, who has served as civil design lead on several grade crossing projects for SCRRA; and Kevin Aguigui, PE, TE, EE, CSEP, who has served as our railroad preemption expert for grade crossing improvements across the state.

We have included five Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) subconsultants on our team including Wagner Engineering and Survey (survey), GPA Consulting (environmental), AimTD (traffic counts), Arellano Associates (outreach), and Monument ROW (right of way).We have a long history of collaborating with each of these firms on many other transportation projects—including on recent railroad crossing improvements in the City of Lancaster in partnership with GPA and Wagner. GPA was crucial in obtaining CEQA and NEPA approval for the Avenue J, K, and M crossing improvements, and Wagner successfully obtained right-of-entry permits from SCRRA for the same project, which is an extensive process. Our team brings recent, relevant experience with LA County grade crossing improvement projects, and the City will benefit from our established, solid working relationships.

Section 130 At-Grade Crossing Improvement Experts. Kimley-Horn has worked on over 150 grade crossing improvement projects—including implementation of pre-signals and complex queue cutters—in 15 counties in California and has filed and received approval for nearly 20 CPUC General Order 88-B (GO 88-B) applications over the past five years. Our civil and crossing design lead, Lauren Jumanan, PE, not only has experience working with CPUC on at-grade crossing design approvals but is leading a Kimley-Horn team that has been hired to handle Phase 3 of their statewide at-grade crossing inventories program, which includes Proposal For

755 crossings across the entire state of California. Our key staff also have recent experience working with SCRRA on Section 130-funded crossing improvements at Devonshire Street in Chatsworth and Cogswell Road in El Monte and at Avenues J, K, and M in Lancaster, as well as grade crossing projects for the cities of Gardena, Hayward, Martinez, Stockton, and Rocklin. Each of these projects involved interfacing with multiple railroad operators and regulatory agencies, giving our team extensive experience navigating the complex regulatory environment surrounding at-grade rail crossings. Our team is also adept at navigating Section 130 process strategically and holding the diagnostic team to target milestone dates (and ultimately to approval of CPUC GO 88-B).

Strong Relationship with Caltrans Staff Means Expedited Reviews and Approvals. Kimley-Horn and our key subconsultants continue to work with Caltrans Local Assistance in partnership to provide transportation solutions across Southern California.

Understanding the importance of maintaining City’s project milestone schedule, our team’s project manager, Eugene Huang, PE will be critical in coordinating with Caltrans, City, and key stakeholders. The relationships developed through our continued work with Caltrans allows us to be a trusted and respected partner in implementing projects through Caltrans Local Assistance.

We are very excited about continuing our working relationship with the City of Santa Clarita. On behalf of our team, thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for this important project.

CPUC Experience
Kimley-Horn has extensive and recent experience working with the CPUC for light rail, heavy rail, and freight operations. Our team includes experienced personnel who are very familiar with CPUC processes and requirements and who have coordinated and designed dozens of crossings across the state. We have extensive experience navigating approvals through CPUC, including preparation and submittal processes for GO 88-B applications and securing CPUC approvals. Key team members Kevin Aguigui, PE, TE, EE, CSEP, Lauren Jumanan, PE, and Taylor Brown, PE have worked with CPUC directly to handle their statewide at-grade crossing inventories as well; they are currently working with CPUC on Phase 3 of this program, which includes 755 crossings across the entire state of California.

Development of Commuter Rail Safety and Design Guidelines Kimley-Horn staff provide a long history of involvement with development of industry design guidelines, manuals, and procedures. Kimley-Horn team members, including Brent Ogden, PE, TE, PTOE, were involved in the development of the original SCRRA Design Procedures Manual, Project Management Manual, and Design Criteria Manual, as well as the development of design guidelines for SCRRA’s Sealed Corridor initiative under a 2005 grant from the FRA. The Sealed Corridor effort was modeled after the landmark grade crossing improvement program initially developed by the North Carolina DOT. This effort brought consideration for treatments such as long raised medians, use of exit gates, channelization enhancements, and pedestrian treatments to the Metrolink system.

Kimley-Horn staff have decades of experience participating in the development of national rail safety standards. We currently have staff members who participate as voting members of the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD)—the NCUTCD is the industry group that provides recommended standards and guidance to FHWA which leads to updates to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices defining national requirements and best practices to the industry. Some of the key documents of relevance to this project include:

Transit Cooperative Research Program Report 69 – Light Rail Service: Pedestrian and Vehicular Safety. Developed as a guide for the light rail industry, this report showcases numerous treatments such as pre-signals and queue cutters directly applicable to Regional Rail grade crossings. As an outcome of this project, proposed language for Part 10 of MUTCD 2003 was developed. Originally developed for light rail, Part 10 was subsequently folded into Part 8 (the railroad section) of MUTCD 2009 by the FHWA.

Traffic Control Devices Handbook. Our staff authored Chapter 11 of the TCDHB 2013 pertaining to grade crossings. This Handbook provides application examples showing how MUTCD standards and guidelines can be applied in real world situations.

Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Recommended Practice (RP) for Preemption of Traffic Signals Near Railroad Crossings. Our staff served as chair of the committee preparing this proposed RP , which was adopted in 2021. The RP transmits state- of-the-art guidance and recommendations for preemption and queue management at grade crossings.

USDOT Highway-Rail Crossing Handbook, Third Edition. We developed a major update to the National Handbook for FHWA and FRA through a contract with ITE. This document provides critical guidance and recommendations which fills a major “gap” which has existed because the FHWA has not updated the MUTCD for nearly a decade.

At the regional corridor level, Kimley-Horn has developed policy and applied innovative best practices in the assessment and design of grade crossings for our clients. We have completed projects for Metrolink (contracted directly, with Metro and other local agencies), shared corridor, and LRT crossings including:

Caltrain Corridor Crossings Strategy Delivery Guide. Kimley-Horn staff developed the Delivery Guide to provide a consolidated location of applicable design, construction, and operational standards for implementing a grade separation project. The Delivery Guide clearly defines the processes, procedures, practices, roles, and responsibilities of Caltrain and local partners needed to implement a grade separation or closure of an existing crossing.

Metro Grade Crossing Safety Policy. Kimley-Horn staff originated Metro’s grade crossing policy to provide an objective procedure for assessing at-grade crossings and determining the highest priority locations warranting consideration for grade separation. The Policy addresses numerous safety factors at crossings.

Metro Grade Crossing and Corridor Safety Project. This effort involved the assessment of all grade crossings within Los Angeles County along Metro-owned rights-of-way through which Metrolink operates. Improvements were identified for at-grade crossings as well as for the rail corridors between crossings. In addition to basic crossing improvements, the project also included a follow-on evaluation to determine improvement strategies to make grade crossings “Quiet Zone ready” along with identification of implementation groups for phased treatment.

Similar Project Experience
Our team members bring an extensive and proven track record delivering railroad grade crossing projects throughout California, which is demonstrated in the project writeups below.

City of Lancaster, Section 130 At-Grade Rail Crossing Improvements (Avenue J, K, M), Lancaster, CA Project Objective and Description: Enhance pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicular safety and operations at three at-grade crossings along Sierra Highway by securing Section 130 funding for the City of Lancaster, obtaining environmental clearance, completing PS&E, obtaining utility/right of way certification, coordinating with UPRR/SCRRA to complete track and signal design, executing railroad agreements, and obtaining CPUC-GO-88B approval.

The improvements include widening of non-mountable medians, sidewalks and installation of full pedestrian treatments through UPRR and SCRRA crossings, installation of railroad devices, roadway profile modifications, signing and striping, advance preemption, pre-signals and traffic signal modifications, drainage modifications, and pavement rehabilitation.

C. ORGANIZATION AND APPROACH/WORK PLAN
Project Elements
Our recent experience reflects design approaches that address the key elements affecting railroad right-of-way, in particular where transit facilities integrate with arterial roadway facilities. We are well-versed in the design standards of American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA), UPRR, SCRRA engineering standards and CPUC General Order (GO) requirements as well as City of Santa Clarita design standards.

The SCRRA Design Criteria Manual (DCM) serves to define the procedures that govern the execution of design work for SCRRA. The design, operation, and maintenance of the system are governed by Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regulations and CPUC GOs. Per the DCM, the basic requirement for railroad design is to provide a system that is consistent with safe, regulatory-compliant, economical, and efficient train operation. Kimley-Horn is committed to following SCRRA’s standards, codes, and guidelines, and confirming our design meets applicable parts of the State of California general laws, CPUC requirements, FRA safety requirements, and the specific project requirements. In addition to supporting Metrolink commuter rail service, the project corridor’s tracks are shared with UPRR.

Our team has the required civil/roadway, signal, and rail infrastructure design expertise to address the potential challenges this project may encounter, including constrained right-of-way, grading and ADA compliance, impacts to rail operations, impacts to pedestrian and vehicle access during construction, and maintenance access requirements. Our team is also familiar and well-adapted to dealing with possible procurement delays for material and equipment, which have become increasingly frequent in the last year. With recent, relevant experience resolving each of these potential issues for similar railroad crossing improvement projects, our experienced staff bring with them best practices and unique approaches to address them.

Hazard Analysis
The Newhall at-grade crossing was identified as a candidate location for Section 130 funding to eliminate hazards and enhance safety, based on its incident history, train and vehicle volumes, and geometric configuration. CPUC reviewed the potential hazards and incident history of the

location and developed vehicular and pedestrian improvement recommendations. Below is a summary of incidents from the past five years, with the most recent occurring in 2024 and a fatality recorded in 2022. Due to recent incidents, the Rail Crossings and Engineering Board (RCEB) has recommended the installation of immediate improvements. These actions are anticipated to be completed in Spring 2025 and will be completed in partnership with the City and SCRRA.

The improvements aim to help guide motorists from turning into the tracks or stopping on the tracks. Key elements of the incidents are shown in the tabulation below, along with a “possible cause” which we have identified from the hazard analysis, the proposed immediate action item, as well as “potential improvement” which could improve safety.

In addition to the incident history provided, the FRA generates reports each year using an accident prediction system known as the Grade Crossing Accident Prediction System (GXAPS). The reports include the current highway grade crossing inventory record and accidents over the last five years. The statistical model analyzes the safety of each at-grade crossing to effectively allocate and prioritize funding and improvement resources for at-risk locations. The prediction calculation does not consider sight-distance, highway congestions, bus or hazardous traffic, local topography or passenger exposure, but is used as a supplemental tool to nominate crossings for further evaluation Date FTL INJ Suicide Incident Summary Possible Cause Immediate Action Item

based on the physical and operating characteristics. It could also indicate that conditions at one crossing may potentially be more hazardous based on the specific data entered into the program.

Given the limitations of the program, the Newhall Avenue at-grade crossing was ranked first with a probability of 0.24 the highest accident prediction probability within the City of Santa Clarita. The accident prediction value is the probability that an accident will occur in any given year between a train and a highway vehicle.

Signalized/Preemption
Our team has very close working relationships with SCRRA’s and CPUC’s railroad preemption specialists and have secured approvals from them at many crossings throughout California. Kimley-Horn will prepare the railroad preemption calculations using the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Methodology and will submit the preemption calculations package, which will include the preemption distances, preemption operations, detailed railroad preemption designs, and SCRRA Preemption Request Form (to be signed by the City). The preemption design will include drawing details showing traffic signal controller and railroad signal house including equipment connections and the preemption circuit diagrams and input connections, and preemption operations descriptions, which will be a requirement in the plans.

It is anticipated that SCRRA and CPUC will review the preemption design plans and calculations. Because of the collisions associated with southbound vehicles, installation of a pre-signal should be considered. The “Clear Storage Distance (CSD)” is the area beyond the track fouling point and intersection stops or limit line. Where the CSD is small or along a skewed roadway, either a full pre- signal or an alternative treatment consisting simply of a relocated stop line could be considered. In the event a pre-signal were to be provided, the phase plan would require use of a “green extension” at the downstream intersection signal to clear vehicles from both the MTCD as well as the CSD, and programmable visibility heads should be considered on the downstream signal indications to avoid southbound drivers from seeing a “green ball” in conflict with the red railroad flashing light devices during the track clearance phase.

Kimley-Horn will facilitate coordination with CPUC, SCRRA, and UPRR on the preemption timeline to meet the AREMA requirement for advance preemption time of 50 seconds or less. The goal of advance preemption is to allow vehicles enough time to clear the tracks prior to descent of the railroad gates due to approaching train. The preemption timeline establishes maximum pedestrian clearance time and maximum yellow and all red time to determine how much advance preemption time is needed to complete the pedestrian phase and discontinue the flow of traffic towards the crossing before lights start flashing and gates descending. The advance preemption time is then used to determine the distance that train detection must be installed on the tracks from the crossing. The design plans will need to address the placement of warning signs including Advance Warning Signs along with RXR pavement markings on lanes turning across the tracks.

Pedestrian Sidewalk Crossings
Kimley-Horn will develop grade crossings through Final Engineering using the Metrolink design standards along with policies and procedures indicated in the SCRRA Highway-Rail Grade Crossing and Standards Manual. The team will assess pedestrian routing options that will be supported by the traffic study to develop a design that encourages pedestrian channelization through areas that are highly visible to train operators and discourage unpredictable pedestrian movements into the station area.

The most common treatment is continuing to retrofit all crossings with channelization and pedestrian automatic gates, including flashing-light units and swing gates for emergency egress as shown in the ES 4000 standards. Pedestrian crossing design considerations will follow ES4004 and be detailed per ES4013. Pedestrian gates will be designed per ES4002. In addition, the design will integrate with applicable City requirements and future plans, which include acquiring the County of Los Angeles park south of the project site and future bicycle and ADA-compliant pedestrian facilities and connections.

Street Profile Improvements
Our team’s approach is to accomplish necessary treatments to provide safe grade crossings while joining existing improvements prior to triggering additional improvements. The street vertical profile design will be evaluated on the following criteria:

Maximum fall of 2 inches below top of rail at 37.5 feet from the track centerline, per SCRRA’s Highway-Rail Grade Crossing and Standards Manual
Impacts to adjacent vertical curves along the street profile Roadway surface rehabilitation on crossing approaches and departures, extending no more than 125 feet from the nearest track along Newhall Avenue centerline
The SCRRA vertical profile criteria (more stringent than the AASHTO standard, which indicates 3 inches fall in 30 feet from the nearest rail) will dictate in setting track elevation for double tracking. The SCRRA manual also provides a low ground clearance design vehicle template for verification of roadway profiles at crossings. The design team will comply with local City standards and ADA requirements for any sidewalk and median reconstruction.

Approval Process
Kimley-Horn will provide support to the City during the preparation of Caltrans’ Right-of-Way Certification and Request for Authorization (RFA) in order to obtain the E-76 for construction including the required Caltrans Local Assistance Forms and Checklists.

Construction of proposed improvements will require approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) through the venue of a General Order 88-B (“GO 88-B”). This, in turn, will require a “field diagnostic” to review the proposed improvements in the field with relevant involved parties which would include the rail owner, operating railroads (SCRRA), the highway authority, and both City of Santa Clarita as well as Caltrans. The permitting process will include design reviews to assure that all Caltrans requirements and certifications are met.

Kimley-Horn will work directly with SCRRA and CPUC in the development of the permits and agreements required before construction and obtain an approved GO 88-B application for the City. Once SCRRA has approved the detailed design plans, SCRRA will forward the plans to their engineering staff to prepare the construction estimate and railroad system design. Once the construction estimate has been completed by SCRRA and accepted by the City, Kimley-Horn will work closely with the City and SCRRA in the development of the draft Construction and Maintenance (C&M) Agreement to be executed between the City and SCRRA. The C&M Agreement will require plat maps for any permanent facilities be installed in SCRRA right-of-way including sidewalks and fencing. These facilities will be assessed using a license fee to be included as part of the construction and Maintenance Agreement. Additionally, there will be a need to install conduits underneath the railroad tracks for the pre-signal. Thus, a Wireline Crossing Agreement (WCA) will be required as part of this installation. This will also be included as part of the draft Construction and Maintenance Agreement.

Project Understanding
Project Location
The project is located in Los Angeles County, in the City of Santa Clarita and is in partnership with SCRRA, Caltrans Division of Local Assistance, and CPUC. The project will improve the at-grade crossing at Newhall Avenue (Federal DOT #746018X), which is less than 0.4 miles south of the Newhall Metrolink Station. Newhall Avenue is severely skewed and intersects both Railroad Avenue and the railroad tracks at a 150-degree crossing angle. The Newhall Avenue at-grade crossing is located 48 feet southeast of the signalized intersection of Newhall Avenue and Railroad Avenue. The double tracks are owned and operated by SCRRA with UPRR operating on Track 1. For this reason, coordination with UPRR will also be required for preemption discussions.

Newhall Avenue is a primary arterial with a right of way width of 79 feet and includes 12-foot-wide raised concrete medians. North of Railroad Avenue and the railroad tracks, Newhall Avenue has a speed limit of 30 miles per hour with one lane in the northbound direction and two southbound lanes. South of Railroad Avenue and the railroad tracks, Newhall Avenue has a speed limit of 40 miles per hour with three lanes in each direction. There are gaps in the existing sidewalk approaches along the north side of Newhall Avenue, specifically west of Pine Street and along Railroad Avenue.

SCRRA currently operates at the crossing with a maximum speed of 70 miles per hour. The intersection traffic signals are interconnected with the railroad track circuitry system for preemption. The two tracks consist of concrete panels measuring 201 feet in length. The railroad crossing consists of two Commission Standard 9-A warning devices (Commission Standard 9 with additional flashing lights signals on a cantilevered arm) on the vehicle approaches and two Commission Standard 9 (flashing light assemblies with automatic gate arm) warning devices mounted in the medians.

Project Improvements
The project location was identified by CPUC for the Federal Section 130 program for hazard elimination and crossing improvements. The City will utilize the Section 130 funds for the design and construction of the project which shall be completed in coordination with SCRRA, led by CPUC, funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and implemented by Caltrans.

The project improvements are categorized into vehicular and pedestrian improvements, which were agreed upon by the Diagnostic Team during the project initiation document (PID) phase of the project and outlined in the table below. Additional improvements outside of the PID agreement must be agreed upon by all Diagnostic Team members or otherwise be considered non-participatory under Section 130 and require a separate funding source. For this reason, non-participatory items will be tracked separately throughout the development of the project.

The vehicular safety improvements include roadway rehabilitation along the vehicle approaches and departures, modifications to the intersection traffic signals and railroad warning device upgrades, and the installation of pre-signals for advance preemption. The City and railroad scope of work shall include:

Phase SCRRA Scope City of Santa Clarita Scope

Project Approach
Kimley-Horn understands the importance of addressing the local roadway, pedestrian and bicycle improvements during the preliminary design phase of the project to enhance local circulation and overall crossing safety. The City has evaluated the need for pedestrian improvements through the citywide non-motorized plan due to the project’s proximity to the Jan Heidt Metrolink Station which results in high pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Due to the significant skew of the intersection and lack of pedestrian paths, it is recommended that the pedestrian traffic be channelized perpendicular to the track and across major roadway intersections.

Kimley-Horn identified potential crossing routes in the Exhibit 1 — Crossing Alternatives on the following page that will be evaluated further for feasibility during the Preliminary Design Phase. The crossing alternatives will consider the future volumes and consider additional improvements such as City maintained fencing and vegetation to channelize traffic. One of the potential pedestrian routing options includes a shared use path along Pine Street which would provide a direct connection to the Jan Heidt Metrolink Station located 0.4 miles north on Pine Street. This route can accommodate a shared use path and allow pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to or from the station to remain outside of the railroad right-of-way and the at-grade crossing. Along with the roadway closure at Pine Street, vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists would be channelized to minimize conflicts points and keep vehicles from turning onto the rail. This improvement would also provide landscape and fencing opportunities along the railroad to restrict access.

For pedestrians and cyclists desiring to continue west along Newhall Avenue or onto Railroad Avenue, a perpendicular crossing with pedestrian gates is proposed along Pine Street and 3rd Street. See Exhibit 2 — Railroad Improvements on page 30 for railroad improvements. This connection would improve pedestrian safety by filling critical gaps in pedestrian and bicycle network and shortening crossing distances. There is an existing gas and storm drain culvert line that runs parallel to the tracks within SCRRA right-of-way that will require utility coordination.

The existing storm drain culvert shall be protected in place, to the extent feasible.

Along Railroad Avenue, a third left turn lane is proposed. To accommodate this, the existing median shall be shifted east. Due to the skew of the intersection and sight distance concerns, it is our recommendation that the crosswalk along Railroad Avenue be designed perpendicularly as a two-stage pedestrian crossing to minimize the crossing distance and improve visibility. Given the excess existing roadway width along Newhall Avenue, a curb extension is our recommended at the northern curb return. The curb extension would provide an opportunity to widen the sidewalk for ADA compliance and avoid relocating the utility poles and multiple signs and improve the crossing at Newhall Avenue and 4th Street. Turning movements would be included in the analysis of the curb extension. Another component which could be considered in the Traffic Study is the closure of 4th Street and Railroad Avenue. While this would eliminate direct access to the private properties from Railroad Avenue, it could improve safety operations and pedestrian traffic and expand the southbound storage capacity along Railroad Avenue.

A shared use path has also been identified along the south side that would require further analysis during the preliminary design phase. The proposed path would provide a connection to the William S. Hart Park and Santa Clarita History Center, which is anticipated to be acquired by the City of Santa Clarita prior to the start of the project and would result in additional pedestrian and bicyclist traffic. A perpendicular at-grade crossing with swing gates is proposed in front of the Santa Clarita History Center. The existing constraints along the south side include a concrete channel, catch basin, traffic signal equipment, power poles and an existing fence. To construct a proposed shared use path, the team will evaluate removing the concrete channel and remodeling the existing catch basin to provide sufficient capacity. Additionally, coordination with the City will be required to understand the future park improvements and ultimate right-of-way.

In Task 2.5 and 4.3, the Kimley-Horn team will work with utility companies to sign utility “B” letters agreeing relocate or adjust their own facilities to avoid the need for additional documentation by the City.

Task 1.5 Deliverables
- Draft Utility Certification Process for Federally Funded Projects, Final Utility Certification Process for Federally Funded Projects

1.6 Railroad Agreements Support
The Kimley-Horn team shall support City Staff in preparing agreements between the City and SCRRA, including construction and maintenance agreements. Once the Diagnostic Team has approved the Final 100% PS&E City plans, SCRRA will initiate development of SCRRA track and signal design. The construction and maintenance agreements between SCRRA and City are anticipated to be executed after the track and signal design is complete and before submittal of CPUC GO-88B.

Once the construction estimate has been completed by SCRRA and the City and Caltrans accepts the estimate, the Kimley-Horn team will support the City in the review and execution of the draft Construction and Maintenance Agreement to be executed between the City and SCRRA.

It should be noted that the Construction and Maintenance Agreement will require plats and legal descriptions for any permanent facilities that will be installed in SCRRA right-of-way such as sidewalks and fencing. These facilities will be assessed a license fee that will be included as part of the Construction and Maintenance Agreement. The Kimley-Horn team has included the preparation of plat maps and legal descriptions in Task 3.2 to be included in the SCRRA Construction and Maintenance Agreement.

The Kimley-Horn team will develop the stakeholder database using GIS, plan and facilitate public meetings and summarize the outreach conducted. The database will include citywide and localized community-based organizations such as residents, businesses, emergency responders, elected officials, community-based organizations, agency representatives, academic institutions, and other sensitive receptors.

The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate up to one (1) in-person public scoping meeting. For the in-person public scoping meeting, the Kimley-Horn team will provide venue reservation, facilitation, meeting notification, advertisement, coordination of dates and times, organization of meeting set-up, wayfinding, bilingual English-Spanish staffing and interpretation services, court reporting, and collection of public comment. They will also prepare a scoping and hearing summary report that includes the meeting process, level of participation, notification campaign, and a list of comments and questions.

Task 1.7.2 Deliverables
- One (1) electronic PDF copy of the meeting materials (notifications, handouts, agendas, sign-in sheets, presentations, meeting summaries, etc.)
- Scoping and hearing summary report (PDF)

1.8 NEPA/CEQA Clearance Support
Based on the City’s response to Q&A, the Kimley-Horn team assumes the City will lead the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) preparation and submittal to Caltrans as well as the CEQA CE and NOE preparation and filing. Caltrans would lead the NEPA CE preparation and filing. The Kimley-Horn team would provide support for the City regarding the draft PES by providing one review with comments on the draft and responding to questions from the City about expected technical studies that may be needed to support the NEPA clearance documentation. The Kimley-Horn team will conduct a 1/2-mile radius cultural resources records search through the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), located at California State University, Fullerton.

The search will include information related to both built and buried resources. Additionally, the Kimley-Horn team will search the Geotracker Database to identify previously recorded hazardous materials. This task does not include the coordination, review, or drafting of any technical studies, reports, or memorandums.

Certain classes of projects are specifically called out in Section 15300 of the CEQA Guidelines as projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

According to Section 15301 of CEQA, a project can be categorically exempted from CEQA if it involves the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination (Class 1). Existing facilities include existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities, and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety). Based on the Kimley-Horn team’s understanding of the project, it is assumed that a Categorical Exemption (CE) would be the appropriate level of CEQA documentation.

Certain categories of projects are specifically called out in 23 CFR 771.117(d) as actions that would fall under a Categorical Exclusion pursuant to NEPA. NEPA CEs are generally actions that do not induce significant impacts related to planned growth or land use for the area; do not require the relocation of significant numbers of people; do not have a significant impact on any natural, cultural, recreational, historic or other resource; do not involve significant air, noise, or water quality impacts; do not have significant impacts on travel patterns; and do not otherwise, either individually or cumulatively, have any significant environmental effect. Based on the information provided, the Kimley-Horn team would assume that the project would be categorically excluded under the provisions of NEPA.

The project activities are assumed to be limited to railroad crossing safety improvements within the existing ROW. As such, it appears that the proposed project activities are limited to the classes of work listed in the 2024 Caltrans Section 106 Programmatic Agreement (PA) Appendix 2 Screened Undertakings. Therefore, this scope assumes that Caltrans Professionally Qualified Staff (PQS) will determine that the project is exempt from further review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Task 1.8 Deliverables
- Review and comment on one (1) draft PES and results of record search

The Kimley-Horn team is available to assist with the preparation of required technical studies with additional authorization from the City. Technical studies would be completed in accordance with both NEPA and CEQA, and with City of Santa Clarita standards for environmental analysis. All technical studies required for NEPA approval would be completed by the Kimley-Horn team in accordance with the Caltrans’ Standard Environmental Reference (SER) guidelines and Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).

1.9 CPUC GO-88B Submittal Support
The Kimley-Horn team will support the City staff in the CPUC General Order 88B (GO-88) request submittal process. The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with CPUC, complete draft and final General Order (GO) 88-B forms for City/SCRRA review and implement requirements of the CPUC to obtain approved GO 88-B documents for the Newhall crossing. The Kimley-Horn team will compile and review comments to provide to the City for the GO-88 submittal.

The Kimley-Horn team will develop exhibits and draft the General Order (GO) 88-B Forms for submittal to CPUC and SCRRA for review. The Kimley-Horn team will incorporate modifications requested to clarify any of the intended design elements and/or operating conditions as a result of the crossing improvements, including any new railroad preemption. The Kimley-Horn team will obtain signatures from the City and SCRRA on the final form which the Kimley-Horn team shall submit on behalf of the City.

1.10 Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan
The Kimley-Horn team has a well-defined Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Plan that will be adapted for this project to align with the SCRRA Design Quality Assurance Plan. The foundation of the QC/QA Plan rests on a commitment from our management team to confirm that QC/QA processes are implemented and maintained throughout all phases of the project.

Subconsultants must either adopt Kimley-Horn’s QC/QA Plan for this project or submit a project specific QC/QA Plan that is appropriate for the professional services and deliverables that they are providing.

A basis of our QC/QA process is that production quality is achieved through careful development of the work and the frequent checking, backchecking, and verification of changes on work and documents during their preparation. We believe project quality should be “built-in” to our delivery methods, not added on. As Project Manager, Eugene Huang will lead inter-disciplinary reviews to verify that the design plans are consistent across all disciplines with oversight provided by our QC/QA manager, Darren Adrian.

1.11 Request for Authorization (RFA) for Construction
The Kimley-Horn team will support the City in preparing the necessary documentation for the Request for Authorization (RFA) for Construction, including approved bid package, plans, specifications, and estimate, as well as the Utility Certification, Right-of- Way Certification, and the GO-88B.

Task 4: Permits and Plan Approvals

4.1 Right-of-Way Certiﬁcation Support
The Kimley-Horn team will assist the City in obtaining rights of entry documentation from property owners as necessary. This includes determining the extent of work that will be required on private properties and obtaining rights of entry to these sites with exhibits showing limits of impact.

It is assumed that SCRRA will dedicate a portion of their existing right-of-way to the City for pedestrian improvements crossing the SCRRA tracks. Since these rights will be dedicated, it is assumed that an appraisal will not be necessary. The Kimley-Horn team will work closely with the City to coordinate the transfer of these property rights and complete the required Caltrans right-of- way certification process.

All services will be performed in accordance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, including: the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (49 CFR Part 24), as amended; the Caltrans Right-of- Way Manual; the Real Property Acquisition Guidelines (Title 25, California Code of Regulations); and the City’s own policies and procedures.

The Kimley-Horn team will assist the City in the preparation and submission of all required Caltrans Right-of-Way Certification forms and supporting documents. The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with Caltrans staff to address any questions or concerns and will assist the City to ensure ultimate acceptance and approval of the Certification.

Task 4.1 Deliverables
- Right-of-Way Certification Forms (up to 1 review cycle)

4.2 SCRRA Coordination
The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with SCRRA and their design consultants during preliminary investigations, design, SCRRA track and signal design, and City/SCRRA construction and maintenance agreement process. The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with SCRRA to ensure design is compliant with SCRRA Design Criteria Manual and Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Manual. Coordination is also anticipated to be required for finalizing the railroad preemption form prior to SCRRA approval of City’s design plans. The Kimley-Horn team will compile design plans prepared by SCRRA and incorporate into the project plan set for construction.

4.3 Utility Coordination
The Kimley-Horn team will follow-up with utility companies after the utility “A” letters have been distributed to obtain utility maps and confirm ownership of existing utilities. After distribution of the utility “B” letters, the Kimley-Horn team will follow up and schedule meetings with utility companies to obtain latest utility maps and confirm potential utility conflicts. The Kimley-Horn team will meet with utility owners as needed should utility conflicts be identified. These meetings will serve to identify where additional investigations including potholing will be necessary. The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with utility companies to sign the utility “B” letters stating that the utility owners will adjust/relocate their facilities and coordinate with contractor prior/during construction to provide City with documentation for utility certification.

4.4 Third Party Permits
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare two (2) Temporary Right-of-Entry Permits and up to one (1) round of comments from SCRRA.

Temporary Right-of-Entry Permits will be required for surveying and pavement investigation within SCRRA right-of-way and shall be completed prior to field investigation. The scope shall include an Encroachment Application, Site Specific Work Plan, Site Specific Checklist, and Certificate of Liability Insurance. Based on previous completed Temporary Right-of-Entry Permits, it is anticipated that SCRRA will provide their own flaggers during surveying and pavement investigation.

PROPOSAL # CIP-24-25-C2029
The following questions were asked and answered:

Q1) Are you doing any improvements on Arch Street?
A1) If the design requires it then, yes. The final layout and project scope will be determined after the traffic study in coordination with the City and the Project Diagnostic Team. However, the main focus of improvements and the traffic study will be the Newhall Ave railroad crossing, the adjacent intersection at Railroad Avenue, and the adjacent closure of Pine Street.

Q2) What will the City have to show for moving the pedestrian crosswalk on the South side? Why place the pedestrian route on the southside of the tracks?
A2) The traffic study will determine and justify the location of installation for the pedestrian crosswalk and channelization. We are considering several options in anticipation of the recent transfer of Hart Park from the County to the City.

Along with the additional third southbound lane on Railroad Ave and the location of the pedestrian crossing across the tracks, the City would like to investigate some design alternatives regarding the relocation of the existing pedestrian crosswalk across Railroad Ave as well as some additional sidewalk, curb, and gutter south of Newhall Avenue with justification from the traffic study.

Q3) Confirm if DBE is 19% and clarify if the DBE is for the whole project (including both scope) or applies to the design as well?
A3) DBE Goal for this entire design contract (City’s scope of work) is 19%. We understand this goal may be challenging to reach so please fill out and submit a Good Faith Effort if the goal cannot be met. A separate DBE goal will be created for construction bid.

This will improve the experience for all travelers, regardless of mode, and minimize the impact of major events on the transportation network. • City of Santa Clarita, Copper Hill Drive Traffic Signal and Interconnect, Santa Clarita, CA – Project Engineer. Kimley-Horn completed design work for the intersection of Copper Hill Drive at Deer Springs Drive as well as a traffic signal interconnect system that allows for traffic signal coordination along Copper Hill Drive. Plans were developed to utilize as-built street improvements, striping, and traffic signal plans provided by the City and supplemented with findings from a detailed field review.

The traffic signing/striping and traffic signal and interconnect plans were prepared with right-of-way, roadway features, and traffic control devices relevant to the design clearly identified. Throughout the design process, plans at the 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% stages were submitted to the City for review and approval. Once plans were prepared and approved, Kimley-Horn prepared an OPCE and technical provisions per Green Book and supplemented with the Caltrans Standard Specifications.
