DETAILED WORK PLAN
TASK NO. 1 - BACKGROUND RESEARCH

1.1 – Research
KSN will research and review existing topographic mapping, photos/images, right-of-way maps, record drawings, recorded maps, surveys, assessor maps, and local street improvement plans along the project corridor.

1.2 – Site Reconnaissance
The KSN team will visit the site to perform a field reconnaisance of the project limits. The KSN team will use the information collected during this time to develop preliminary recommendations for alternative pipeline rehabilitiation methods.

Task Deliverables:
• Site photos

1.3 – Surveying and Mapping
KSN will perform field surveys to develop the base mapping for the project. The scope of services KSN proposes to provide is more specifically described as follows.

1.3.1 – Control Network
Horizontal and vertical survey control for the project will be based on available published control monuments utilizing either GPS or conventional survey methods. Horizontal control will be provided based on the California Coordinate System of 1 983, Zone 3, U.S. Foot units (CA83IIIF), consistent with the the City of Stockton’s horizontal survey cotnrol network. Vertical control will be referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1 988 (NAVD 88)based on available published National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and/or City of Stockton benchmarks.

1.3.2 – Field Surveys
Field surveys will be performed along the existing sewer alignment to gather existing site data. Surface evidence of the existing utilities will be surveyed and include invert elevations of below grade utilities, etc. The information obtained by the field surveys will be incorporated into the project base mapping.

1.3.3 - Topographic Mapping
Base mapping will be prepared at a scale of 1” = 20’ with spot elevations and/or 1’ contour intervals. KSN will prepare the base mapping at the stated mapping scale and contour interval showing visible surface features, contours and spot elevations within the mapping limits.

Task Deliverables:
• Basemap files

1.4 – Potholing (optional)

and service laterals, and assess the suitability of trenchless rehabilitation approaches. In particular, the review will seek to identify defects that could affect the selection of repair/rehabilitation alternatives. To properly perform this task, KSN will need the City to clean and CCTV the segments that were blocked and useful footage for the proposal is not available – such as the Manchester Avenue to North Yosemite Street segment.

TASK NO. 2 – ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
It is anticipated that rehabilitation can be accomplished internally without pipeline replacement. The project is subject to CEQA review, but it is likely exempt from detailed CEQA analysis, provided exemption criteria can be met.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. (BaseCamp) will conduct a two-step CEQA review for the project. If, after analysis, the project qualifies for a CEQA exemption, BaseCamp would prepare the necessary support documentation and file a Notice of Exemption on approval by the City. This would conclude the CEQA process.

If this is not the case, as an optional service, BaseCamp will prepare and assist the City in processing a CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project.

2.1 – Categorical Exemption Analysis and Documentation BaseCamp will review project plans and perform a site reconnaissance visit to assess the scope of the project and the potential impacts. BaseCamp will review options and criteria for a CEQA exemption. If necessary, BaseCamp will review and recommend project modifications to reduce project impacts. BaseCamp will prepare a letter memo with its CEQA findings and recommendations. BaseCamp will prepare a Notice of Exemption and supporting documentation, and file the Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse.

2.2 – Preparation and Processing of Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Optional)
If after review it is determined that the project does not meet the CEQA criteria for a Notice of Exemption, BaseCamp will prepare an Initial Study and environmental checklist, and a Negative Declaration, or a Mitigated Negative Declaration if required.
• BaseCamp will conduct and document tribal consultation activity in accordance with AB 52. • BaseCamp will prepare and submit an administrative draft of the IS/MND to the City for review, comment and approval.
• In coordination with City staff, BaseCamp will administer the required 20-day public review process of the final approved IS/MND.
• BaseCamp will analyze public review comments received during the public review period and recommend appropriate responses and actions.
• BaseCamp will prepare the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan.
• BaseCamp will prepare for and attend a City Council meeting to discuss and answer questions regarding the CEQA documentation.
• BaseCamp will prepare and file the Notice of Determination with San Joaquin County Clerk and State Clearinghouse, (filing fees will be the responsibility of the City).

Task Deliverables:
• Document submission and reproduction will be electronic; hard copies can be provided at cost of reproduction Task Understandings:
• Technical subconsultants such as biologists, cultural resources consultants, archaeologists, & preparation of any permit applications are not included in the above scope of work. If they should become required, a contract amendment will be prepared for the City’s review and approval.

If necessary, follow-up communications with the utility companies, including field meetings and/or field surveys to locate “pothole” information provided by the utility company, will be made to clarify the conflict and/or the relocation alignment of the existing facility. KSN will incorporate the utility relocation information onto the electronic “existing utilities” drawing file described above.

3.1.4 – Final Project Plans Letter (C Letter)
Subsequent to the submittal of the completed project documents (bid set), KSN will send a set of the final project plans to each affected utility company.

Waiver of Subrogation
Contractor hereby grants to City of Stockton a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City of Stockton by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
