Task 2 – ECG Monument Preservation
Pre-Construction Monument Inventory
1. Search for survey monuments within the project work area that will be affected by the project construction. Traffic control will be needed as a part of this searching as several of the monuments fall within traffic lanes. Traffic co ntrol for this task will be provided by a subconsultant and coordinated with the City. A sepa rate fee for traffic control has been provided for these services.
2. In project areas where a grind and overlay will be completed, ECG will excavate up to four inches in the asphalt to search for monuments based on record research locations of monuments. In project areas where sawcut and full p avement removal is noted on the plans, ECG will excavate up to the full pavement depth if a monument is determined to be within the search area using a metal detector.
3. Survey inventory information will include a monument description, monument photo and a description of the location for each monument. Any monument ties that are found in the area will also be inventoried.
For the purpose of this cost proposal, based on our initial records research we have assumed that we will inventory 21 survey monuments that will req uire filing of both a pre-construction and a post-construction corner record to comply with the project specifications.
Pre-Construction Corner Records
1. For each monument found during the Pre-construction Monument Inventory, ECG shall set and tag four (4) durable reference tie points a s site conditions allow or use tagged tie points in the vicinity, if they exist. Reference t ies subject to disturbance shall be located by ECG and subsequently protected by the pavement c ontractor from forthcoming construction. If excavation through asphalt is required to expose a monument, ECG shall backfill and patch each hole after measurements are made and remove any debris from the worksite.
2. ECG shall prepare pre construction corner records a nd file with the County Surveyors Office in compliance with section 8771 of the Business and Professions code. The Corner Record shall comply with Los Angeles County standar ds and indicate the character of monuments set and found, record and measured tie dimensions, and record references.
Post-Construction Corner Records
Upon completion of project improvements, ECG will perform the following for the record monuments recovered within the work area:
1. ECG shall recover ties per the pre-construction cor ner records and check the condition and position of the pre-construction monument. If t he pre-construction monument has been disturbed or destroyed, ECG will re-set a dura ble, tagged monument in like kind to the pre-construction monument, per said ties, at finished grade.

Subject: Proposal to Provide a Nesting Bird Survey for the Magic Mountain Parkway Beautification Phase 1 Project, Santa Clarita, California Dear Mr. Jenison:
Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) is pleased to provide this proposal for a nesting bird survey for the Magic Mountain Parkway Beautification Phase 1 Project (project), from Tourney Road to Avignon Drive in Santa Clarita, California. Please find below Rincon’s proposed scope of work , which is intended to support the project’s nesting bird survey requirement.
Scope of Work
Nesting Bird Survey
To comply with the requirements of the City of Santa Clarita and Encompass Consultant Group, a nesting bird survey is required for the project. If project activities near the median trees will occur during the nesting bird season (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist will complete nesting-bird surveys within 72 hours of the overlay work. If active nests are identified, a protective buffer will be established until the young birds have fledged. If the project is phased, additional pre - activity nesting bird surveys should be conducted prior to each phase of construction.
A Rincon avian specialist will conduct a site-specific nesting bird survey of the project and a 100-foot buffer (survey area) , approximately 9.5 a cres based on aerial review estimate, to determine the presence/absence of nesting birds and/or nesting activity in the survey area. The survey will be conducted for compliance with t he Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code. The survey will be conducted in the morning to capture the peak activity period for observing bird behavior. The avian specialist will note bird species observed around the project site and buffer during the survey, including any that may be breeding and/or nesting.
The f indings of the survey will be summarized in a brief survey memo randum that includes a description of the survey methods, survey conditions and dates, location of any nesting birds observed, photographs of known active and inactive nests (as practicable), species of nesting birds observed, and whether the nest is new or existing. Rincon will provide as-needed recommendations for avoidance and minimization measures (e.g., recommend buffers) if active nests are determined present.
Assumptions
• The nesting bird survey area will include the existing buildings, adjacent trees, and other vegetation within the project site plus a 100 -foot buffer. The survey area will exclude private property, and inaccessible areas will be surveyed from a distance using binoculars.
Encompass Consultant Group
Magic Mountain Parkway Beautification Phase 1 Project
2 • The nesting bird survey will be conducted by two biologists over a 5-hour period, including travel from the Rincon office.
• If an active nest is identified, Rincon will support the establishment of the initial avoidance buffer in coordination with Encompass Consultant Group.
• This scope and fee assume s that the bird species present are not protected and/or no nesting activity is observed necessitating follow-up inspections to verify the status of the nest(s) . If bird nests are detected, Rincon can provide an additional scope and fee to support with avoidance and monitoring if needed.
• Rincon is not responsible for delays due to weather, site conditions (e.g., prohibited access, flooding, fire, safety), or other conditions outside of Rincon’s control. • Rincon will address up to one round of comments on the survey memorandum from Encompass Consultant Group, to be provided in editable, electronic format (e.g., as tracked changes in Word).
• Costs are provided here as a lump sum to be billed in full immediately upon completion of the included scope of work.
Cost and Schedule
We propose to complete this scope of work on a lump sum basis in accordance with Rincon’s standard fee schedule for 2025. Rincon’s cost estimate to complete the scope of work is $4,899. Rincon will commence work within two weeks of written authorization to proceed through a mutually acceptable contract. We will provide a summary email within 24 hours of completing the nesting bird survey and will provide a brief survey memo within two weeks of completing the survey , contingent on contract execution.
Thank you for your consideration and for this opportunity to support your project. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact Benson Truong at 626-221-2854 or [email protected].
