Detailed Work Plan
Task 1 Background Research
Task 1.1 Field Review
W-Trans Team will conduct field reconnaissance of the project area, review and verify the location and type of exis
ting improvements, equipment, bus zone locations, intersection geometrics, posted speed limits, and bus route movements.

Task 1.2 Background Research, Survey, Assessment
W-Trans team will create base mapping for the project design based on the topographic data received from Sieg
fried. The research will consist of reviewing all City provided record documents, assessors maps, parcel maps, records of survey , and utility block book provided by the utility purveyors. Said research will be incorporated into a topographic survey of the project areas that is surveyed on the City of Stockton local datum. The information will be shared with the team in AutoCAD format.

Task 1.3 Technical Memo
Turning movement counts will be collected for the a.m. and p.m. peaks at all five intersections. Spot speed surveys will
be conducted at four locations along the corridor. Existing conditions will be documented based on the counts obtained and observations during the site visit. These results will be presented in text, including a Level of Service table. Post-project conditions will be assessed with the removal of the existing fourth through lanes to determine resulting operation for existing traffic. Potential traffic signal modifications will be reviewed should the intersections drop below an acceptable service level with the removal of a through lane, including but not limited to right-turn overlaps.

Collision records for the study intersections and study segment of Hammer Lane will be reviewed for any trends or patterns, and the collision rates calculated in the before and after construction condition.

Sight distance and approach speeds will be reviewed in the field for potential issues and documented.

Included in this will be a lighting analysis of the pedestrian facilities for the portion of Hammer lane that is raised above grade.

This information will be provided in a draft memo that provides details of the analysis and findings, together with tables and copies of calculations, and submitted for the City to review. City comments will be addressed, and a finalized memo will be prepared.

1.4 Right of Way Certificate Documentation
Siegfried will research available maps and deeds to plot the street right of way in the area of the improvements.

Said
right of way will be provided in CAD and tied via surveyed monuments to the topographic survey. The field survey and drawings will allow Siegfried to sign the right of way certification. The scope does not include title reports, records or survey, corner records, or mapping.

Task 2 Environmental Services (CEQA Analysis)
Task 2.1 Project Kick-off and Environmental Project Description ESA will meet with the project team to review the key project issues, collect additional background information, such as preliminary engineering reports, figures, maps/plans, etc., confirm communication protocols, etc. As part of project initiation, ESA will provide input on the environmental elements of the project schedule.

ESA will coordinate with the project team to support their preparation of the project description (PD) for use in completing CEQA documentation. The PD will include project location, proposed schedule, applicable engineering design information, and other relevant information.

Task 2.1 Deliverables:
•
Environmental elements of project schedule
Task 2.2: CEQA Documentation
ESA will review the project for application of a CEQA Categorical Exemption (CE). To support issuance of the CE, ESA
will prepare a CE Support Memo that describes why a CE is the appropriate level of documentation for the project, documents the investigations completed during the review, and includes statements confirming absence of exceptions to the categorical exemption.

To inform the CE Support Memo, ESA will review the EnviroStor database maintained by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to confirm absence of known contamination or sites in the project area.

To confirm absence of known cultural and historic resources in the project area, ESA will complete background research at the California Historical Resources Information System Central California Information Center (CCIC) and review the project corridor and adjacent structures to identify known historic properties.

The results of these investigations will be documented in the CE Support Memo, which will be provided to the City for inclusion in the project files.

Upon completion of environmental review, ESA will prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) in the City’s preferred format and provide it to the City for their signature and posting at the County Clerk-Recorder’s office.

Task 2.2 Deliverables:
• Draft Categorical Exemption Support Memo
• Fin
al Categorial Exemption Support Memo
• Notice of Exemption
KEY ASSUMPTIONS:

This
scope of work has been prepared with consideration o f the following assumptions:
• The project would qualify as categorically exempt from C EQA. If completion of an Initial Study to support a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be required, then ESA is available to complete these services under an amended agreement.
• Consultation with Native American tribes pursuant to AB 52 is not included in this scope of work, based on the expectation that the project would be exempt from CEQA. If the City wishes ESA to support them in notifying interested tribes or to support City consultation with tribes, ESA is available to provide those services under an amended contract.
• Cultural Resources records searches will be completed fo r a 1/8-mile radius around the project site.

EXHIBIT A

• Hazardous Materials testing and characterization is not i ncluded. • Because the project area is highly developed with very li mited to no unpaved surfaces, it is expected that natural habitat that would support wildlife and/or special-status plant species is absent from the project area, and investigations related to biological resources would not be required. • The City will be responsible for payment of CEQA filing f ees and posting CEQA notices on the City’s website and/or other locations of the City’s choosing.
• NEPA review will not be required for the project.
• The design team will provide a Project Description for use in completing the environmental review. • No new right of way would be acquired to accommodate the project. • This scope of work does not include a tree survey for tr ees that would be trimmed or removed to accommodate the project.
• It is assumed that no public meetings would be required to support CEQA approval.

1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

2. Automobile Liability : Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering, Code 1 (any auto), or if Consultant has no owned autos, Code 8 (hired) and 9 (non-owned), with limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

3. Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

4. Pr
ofessional Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance appropriates to the Consultant’s profession, with limit no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or claim, $2,000,000 aggregate.

If the Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City of Stockton requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City of Stockton.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

EXHIBIT D

EXHIBIT 1
REV 2024-03-25
Additional Insured Status
The City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used). Additional insured Name of Organization shall read “City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers.” Policy shall cover City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for all locations work is done under this contract.

Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this contract, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies. The City of Stockton does not accept endorsements limiting the Contractor’s insurance coverage to the sole negligence of the Named Insured.

Umbrella or Excess Policy
The Contractor may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance. No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until the Contractor’s primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.

Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City of Stockton.

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. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City of Stockton has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

EXHIBIT D

EXHIBIT 1
REV 2024-03-25
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City of Stockton. The City of Stockton may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City of Stockton. The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self-insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 unless approved in writing by City of Stockton. Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. City of Stockton may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Contractor to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City of Stockton reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City of Stockton.

Claims Made Policies (Professional & Pollution only)
If any of the required policies provide claims-made coverage:

1. The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work.

2. Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.

3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of work.

Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish the City of Stockton with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsements Pages of the CGL and any Excess policies listing all policy endorsements. All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations & Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by the City of Stockton before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the

EXHIBIT D

EXHIBIT 1
REV 2024-03-25
Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The City of Stockton reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. City of Stockton reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Subcontractors
Consultant shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City of Stockton is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.

Duration of Coverage
CGL & Excess liability policies for any construction related work, including, but not limited to, maintenance, service, or repair work, shall continue coverage for a minimum of 5 years for Completed Operations liability coverage. Such Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.

Special Risks or Circumstances

In the instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s work papers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.

3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still

EXHIBIT 1

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT E
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language

May 2023
unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.

In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from CONSULTANT or subconsultant to a subconsultant, CONSULTANT or subconsultant may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subconsultant, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.
