SCOPE OF SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Santa Rosa | Highway 101 Hearn Avenue Multi-
Use Pathway and Pavement Rehabilitation 16
We have reviewed and are familiar with the City of Santa Rosa Capital Projects Engineering Division Consultant Services Terms for Capital Improvement Projects document, and have provided the following scope of services based on that document, the project Request for Proposals, and our prior experience successfully completing similar projects.
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
When providing services to a client, it is important to have a clear understanding of their needs. It is the initial submittal of the preliminary drawings that establishes the foundation and framework for a successful design.
BKF will establish the project development team and co nduct a “kick-off” meeting with the City of Santa Rosa’s assigned project manager. During the kick-off meeting, we will discuss the project in detail, and identify and establish the project’s goals and objectives. This kickoff meeting will be led by Becky Dower, BKF’s project manager and point of contact for the project. Geoff Coleman, BKF’s principal-in-charge, will also attend the meeting. Every project has different objectives, and each manager may have a unique communication style. We will discuss communication protocols, the anticipated schedule, and special procedures the City would like us to follow.
BKF will meet with the City at each of the proposed m
ilestones to submit documents and receive comments. BKF will develop an agenda for each meeting where we have specific items we would like to discuss with the City.
Similarly, BKF will develop meeting minutes for each meeting we hold with the City where decisions are made or things are discussed that are not in writing, so that they can be documented.
TASK 2: BACKGROUND RESEARCH
After BKF is given Notice to Proceed, our initial task will be to gather existing drawings, specifications, studies and supporting documents from the City to help us better u nderstand the project’s opportunities and constraints.
BKF will walk the site with City staff to evaluate t he alignment and buffer separation options for the new pathway and other conditions in order to identify additional constraints of the project. BKF will prepare a project photo log, which will include pictures of sensitive features and elements that might be critical to the design.
TASK 3: ARBORIST FIELD REVIEW AND TREE ASSESSMENT
Our project Arborist, Merge Studio, will complete a site evaluation and inventory to identify, location, analyze, and assess trees within the vicinity of the pathway to support recommendations for retention or removal. In the Tree Assessment Report, the recommendations for the trees and tree removal mitigation (if applicable) will be identified. For trees that are to remain, a tree protection plan will be developed that identifies protection zones and fencing to be installed during construction, as well as root intrusion prevention measures to discourage future pathway heaving and cracking. Merge Studios will be available during construction to inspect and monitor tree health, and to provide recommendations for tree-related questions encountered during construction.
TASK 4: GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
BKF will utilize the services of our geotechnical subconsultant, RGH, to lead the geotechnical investigation for the proposed multi-use path and pavement rehabilitation work. To support the pathway design as well as to gain an Deliverables
- Tree Assessment Report
- T ree Protection Plan
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Santa Rosa | Highway 101 Hearn Avenue Multi-
Use Pathway and Pavement Rehabilitation
understanding of the amount of grinding that the Hearn Avenue pavement can accommodate, the geotechnical investigation will include site reconnaissance, borings at 6 locations in the roadway, five shallow borings in the area of the pathway, and laboratory testing to evaluate soil properties. The investigation will provide information related to the existing roadway pavement sections and soil subgrade conditions. Findings will be detailed in a geotechnical report and will include pathway design parameters and construction considerations and information to support our roadway cross-slope correction approach.
TASK 5: DESIGN PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND COST ESTI MATE (PS&E) 40% Submittal: BKF will prepare 40% construction drawings, with the intent of these drawings being used to confirm layout, grading, and roadway striping approach. Project station and control will be based our collected topographic mapping and the established roadway centerline. If there are existing record drawings with stationing that the City would like us to use, then this will be used for the drawings we prepare. The drawings will reflect the project area, paving limits, limits of the new pathway improvements, layout of the new curb ra mps and locations for new pedestrian push button poles, and preliminary details. An assessment of the existing street lighting will be completed to determine if lighting levels are adequate for pedestrian safety along the pathway.
If lighting improvements are needed, our team can provide this support to the City under an amendment to our agreement. The design team will review boilerplate technical specifications provided by the City and will develop an outline of the intended technical specifications for the project. BKF will also prepare a Preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (Estimate), to give the City and design team an initial, high-level opinion of the project costs. We have assumed that preparation of a Stormwater Control Plan and integration of post- construction stormwater BMPs into the design will not be required, as the pavement rehabilitation work will not impact roadway subgrade and pedestrian facilities and barrier removal projects are generally exempt. If needed or desired, we believe we can easily accommodate post-construction stormwater treatment features in the buffer area between the pathway and the roadway.
75% Submittal: BKF will meet with the City to discuss the 40% review comments prior to commencing with documents for the 75% submittal. In order to document the resolution process, we will develop a written matrix of City comments, along with design team responses regarding the comment resolution. This matrix will give City staff the ability to easily confirm that comments have been addressed to their satisfaction. If graphical plan markups are preferred over the written matrix, we can also easily provide the City with a comment response markup graphically showing where and how each staff comment has been resolved.
BKF will address the City’s comments and increase the level of detail in the construction documents. The drawings will be more precisely updated to include a higher level of grading at the curb ramps, driveways, and pathway, as well as striping, push button pole information, minor signal modification, and potential utility relocation work associated with the project.
The Technical Specifications and Special Provisions will be developed during this milestone based on the City’s boilerplate/standardized specification document. While we anticipate that most of the work items will follow Deliverables
- Final Geotechnical Investigation Report
Deliverables
Deliverables will be provided in hard-copy format, but can also be transmitted electronically upon request. We will provide City staff with six (6) copies of all submittal materials, including full-sized (22-in x 34-in) drawings. - 40% Construction Drawings

established City standards, there is the potential for some improvements (namely the buffer area between the roadway and the pathway) to warrant development of project-specific Special Provisions.
At this milestone we will also update and refine the Preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (Estimate). We will accompany the cost opinion with a draft Bid Item List. 90% Submittal: BKF will meet with the City to discuss the 75% review comments prior to commencing with documents for the 90% submittal. BKF will address the City’s comments and increase the level of detail in the construction documents. The PS&E documents will be updated to incorporate comments and recommendations provided by the City and other advancements, including coordination with the Hearn Avenue/US 101 Overcrossing project, that might be raised following the 75% submittal.
100% Construction Documents: After City review of the 90% Construction Documents, BKF will meetwith the City to discuss their final comments. BKF will incorporate and address the City’s comments in the final documents.
These documents will be suitable for use during bidding and construction and will be signed and sealed.
TASK 6: BIDDING ASSISTANCE
Upon completion of the Final Construction Documents and prior to the City sending the project out to bid, BKF will be available to consult with the City regarding final questions relating to the construction documents.
During the Bid Phase, if requested, BKF will attend a pre-bid meeting, provide responses to bidders’ questi ons, participate in the bid opening process, prepare a bid tabulation, provide recommendations to award the project to the most responsive bidder and if needed, prepare bid addenda.

TASK 7: CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANCE
BKF can be available to attend a pre-construction meeting with the City and selected General Contractor. The pre – construction conference will establish protocols for communication during construction, and will be a means of building a “team” relationship between the General Contractor, BKF, and the City. BKF will provide supplemental support to the City’s Construction Management efforts. We anticipate that we may assist the City by:
▪ Being available to report to the site in response to City and/or Contractor questions ▪ Reviewing and preparing responses to Requests for Information (RFI’s) from either the City and/or Contractor ▪ Reviewing Contractor submittals and shop drawings for compatibility with the design ▪ Site visit during construction to observe grading around trees to remain ▪ Participating in a pre-final walk through of the constructed project ▪ Performing a final review and development of a punch list of incomplete or deficient items ▪ Revising construction documents to accommodate minor design changes (if necessary) Continuous observation and materials testing is not included with this scope. BKF’s involvement, review, observation and opinions rendered during the construction phase of this project shall not constitute approval of safety precautions, construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures instituted by the General Contractor or the City.
TASK 8: PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
Following completion of construction, BKF will prepare record drawings based on the Contractor’s as-builts to document the final location of the improvements. If requested, BKF will attend a meeting with the City to provide feedback on the project and review improvements that can be made for future projects.
All project meeting minutes, design decisions, and other related project documentation will be packaged and turned over to the City for their records.
OPTIONAL TASK 9: CONSTRUCTION STAKING
BKF has proposed a preliminary budget for Construction Surveying based on the information that is presently available. We understand this scope could change to accommodate specific requests of the contractor who is awarded the project. At this time, we have budgeted for up to 2 mobilizations to accommodate the following construction stakes.
▪ One set of stakes to line and grade for construction of the pathway (limited to 70 stakes) ▪ One set of stakes to line and grade for construction of curb ramps ramps (anticipated to be 2 ramps) This item includes office calculations and preparation of Point Maps and Cut Sheets for the staked points.
OPTIONAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
In the event that the City requires additional design support on this project, BKF can support the City with the following additional services, which can be provided through a service agreement amendment. Final scope and fee for these services will need to be identified at the time of their request, in order to understand the limits of needed work:
▪ Underground Utility Locating
▪ Lighting Design
▪ Right of Way Acquisition Support

NOTES:
· This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year. · An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology) · This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.

Year 2 $51.00 + 2% = $52.02 Year 3 Avg Hourly Rate
Year 3 $52.02 + 2% = $53.06 Year 4 Avg Hourly Rate
Year 4 $53.06 + 2% = $54.12 Year 5 Avg Hourly Rate
3. Calculate estimated hours per year (Multiply estimate% each year by total hours) Estimated % Completed Total Hours per Cost Total Hours per Each Year Proposal Year

Estimated total of Direct Labor Salary Transfer to Page 1 = Increase $7,871.10
NOTES:
1. This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the# of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.
2. An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the# of years is not acceptable.
(i e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs= $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology)
3. This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.
4. Calculations for anticipated salary escalation must be provided.

FEDERAL PROVISIONS
Federally Funded Projects. This Project is funded in whole or in part by federal funds and subject to the following federal requirements under the terms of the funding agreement(s) between City and the federal agency or agencies providing federal funds, which are fully incorporated by this reference and made part of this Agreement. Copies of any funding agreement between City and a funding agency will be made available upon request.
1.1 Equal Opportunity. During the performance of this Agreement, the Consultant agrees as follows:
(A) The Consultant will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The Consultant will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action will include, but not be limited to the following: Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Consultant agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(B) The Consultant will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Consultant, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(C) The Consultant will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision will not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee’s essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the Consultant’s legal duty to furnish information.
(D) The Consultant will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the labor union or workers’ representatives of the Consultant’s commitments under this Section, and will post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. (E) The Consultant will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the United States Secretary of Labor.
(F) The Consultant will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the United States Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to its books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the United States Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(G) In the event of the Consultant’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this Agreement or with any of the rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Consultant may be declared ineligible for further federal government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the United States Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(H) The Consultant will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (A) and the provisions of paragraphs (A) through (H) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the United States Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each Subconsultant or vendor. The Consultant will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the City or funding agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event a Consultant becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a Subconsultant or vendor as a result of such direction by the City or funding agency, the Consultant may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
2.1 Davis-Bacon Act. Consultant must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141-3144 and 3146-3148) and the requirements of 29 CFR Part 5 as may be applicable, including the provisions in 29 CFR § 5.5(a), which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Consultant will pay wages to laborers and mechanics, not less than once a week, and at a rate not less than the current federal prevailing wages specified in the Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination attached hereto and incorporated herein. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant accepts the attached Wage Determination. Consultant and Subconsultants must insert the requirements in 29 CFR § 5.5(a) in full into subcontracts of any tier. <The current Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination, which may be accessed at https://sam.gov/content/wage-determinations, must be printed and included with the Agreement. Additionally, the current provisions at 29 CFR § 5.5(a), which may be accessed at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title- 29/subtitle-A/part-5/subpart-A/section-5.5, should be printed and included with the Agreement. Refer to the applicable Notice of Funding Opportunity or other program guidance and/or contact the federal funding agency representative for additional information on how to implement this requirement and any other required contract provisions for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and related acts and incorporate the federal agency-specific requirements, as appropriate.>
3.1 Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act. Consultant will comply with 18 U.S.C. § 874, 40 U.S.C. § 3145, and the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3 as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

4.1 Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. In addition to the California state law requirements in Article 9 of the General Conditions, Consultant and each Subconsultant must comply with the requirements of the federal Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (“CWHSSA”), as set forth in 40 U.S.C. §§ 3701-3708, as supplemented by the regulations set forth in 29 CFR Part 5, including 29 CFR § 5.5(b), as may be amended from time to time, which are fully incorporated herein, including:
(A)Overtime Requirements. No Consultant or Subconsultant contracting for any part of the Work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics will require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such Work to work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such workweek. (B)Violation; Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in (A), above, the Consultant and any Subconsultant responsible therefor will be liable for the unpaid wages and interest from the date of the underpayment. In addition, such Consultant and Subconsultant will be liable to the United States for liquidated damages. The liquidated damages will be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in (A) of this Section, in the sum of $31 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by clause set forth in (A) of this Section.
(C)Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages. (1) Withhold Process. The City may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the Consultant so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the Consultant or any Subconsultant for any unpaid wages; monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated damages required by the clauses set forth in this Section, any other Federal contract with the same Consultant, or any other federally assisted contract subject to the CWHSSA that is held by the same Consultant (as defined in 29 CFR § 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the Consultant under this Agreement, any other Federal contract with the same Consultant, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the CWHSSA and is held by the same Consultant, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the Consultant liability for which the funds were withheld. (2) Priority to Withheld Funds. The Department of Labor has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(2)(i) or 29 CFR § 5.5(b)(3)(i), or both, over claims to those funds by: (a) a contractor's sureties, including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties; (b) a contracting agency for its re-procurement costs; (c) a trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate; (d) a contractor's assignee(s); (e) a contractor's successor(s); or (f) a claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3901–3907).
(D)Subcontracts. Consultant and Subconsultants must insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in this Section and a clause requiring Subconsultants to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Consultant is responsible for compliance by any Subconsultant or lower tier Subconsultant with the clauses set forth in this Section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the Consultant and any Subconsultant(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier Subconsultants, and associated liquidated damages and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
(E)Anti-Retaliation. It is unlawful for any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job applicant for:
(1) Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the CWHSSA or its implementing regulations in 29 CFR Part 5; (2) Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under CWHSSA or 29 CFR Part 5;
(3) Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance action, or testifying in any proceeding under CWHSSA or 29 CFR Part 5; or
(4) Informing any other person about their rights under CWHSSA or 29 CFR Part 5. (F)CWHSSA Required Records. To the extent that the Agreement is subject only to the CWHSSA and not to any of the other Laws referenced in 29 CFR § 5.1, Consultant and its Subconsultants must maintain regular payrolls and other basic records during the course of the Work and must preserve them for a period of three years after all the Work on the Agreement is completed for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchpersons, working on the Agreement. Such records must contain the name; last known address, telephone number, and email address; and social security number of each such worker; each worker's correct classification(s) of Work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid; daily and weekly number of hours actually worked; deductions made; and actual wages paid.
