II. Project Information
This project includes the preparation and analysis of conceptual designs, obtaining environmental clearance, and preparation of final design documents to install the segment of the Stevens Creek Trail from Remington Drive to Fremont Avenue in the City of Sunnyvale.
The project is located along Stevens Creek between a proposed connection point at Remington Drive at the north and the crossing at Fremont Avenue in the south. A project location map is in Appendix 2. Surrounding land uses are predominately residential, with Mountain View High School near the northern end and medical offices and a medical rehabilitation skilled nursing home near the southern end. The entire length of the project runs parallel to State Route 85.
The project includes a paved trail along the proposed alignment with the potential for three new pedestrian bridges if this configuration is confirmed to be the preferred alternative during the alternatives analysis phase.
The project design may include trailheads, connections to local streets, safety fencing, signing, coordination Attachment 1
with regional trail signage including Friends of Stevens Creek Trail, and striping. The project will connect to the segment being led by the City of Mountain View from the existing Dale Avenue / Heat herstone Way pedestrian overpass to the connection point at Remington Drive. This project segment is within or immediately adjacent to lands of the City of Mountain View, the City of Sunnyvale, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), California Water, Caltrans, and Santa Clara Valley Water District.
In July 2020, VTA awarded the City with $3.5M of Measure B funds for the project’s environmental and design work as one phase. With City’s local match, this phase’s budget is $3,889,000 which includes all contingencies and other related costs. The preliminary estimated construction budget is $22M.

The progress reports must include a list of work items completed during the reporting/billing period, progress during the reporting/billing period on items not yet completed, and activities anticipated for the following reporting/billing period. An accounting of hours charged, and expenses incurred, must also be included.
This project is assumed to be 36 months long.
Deliverables:
• Bi-weekly Meeting Attendance (up to 72)
• Monthly Progress Reports and Invoices (up to 36)
• CPM Schedule Updates (up to 36)
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
B. Community and Stakeholder Outreach
Katz & Associates (K&A) will provide support to the City and present portions of the presentations for community and stakeholder outreach and coordination. Outreach may occur during existing conditions review, conceptual design development and selection, and the environmental clearance tasks. This task will include at least two (2) Bic ycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) meetings, three (3) City Council meetings (at least one for environmental clearance), two (2) community meetings and/or workshops (to be led by the consultant team), three (3) neighborhood and/or advocacy stak eholder meetings, three (3) property owner/agency stakeholder meetings, and an online survey. If additional meetings are necessary, they can be provided as optional tasks.
Attachment 1
Support provided by the Mark Thomas team may include but is not limited to prepara tion of exhibits, preparation of presentations, participation in the presentations, participation in the questions and answers portion of meetings/presentations, option comparison matrices, agendas, meeting minutes, and action item tracking. This task also includes documenting and tracking agency concerns and requirements so they are reflected in the design and environmental studies.
K&A will conduct outreach to an array of stakeholders identified for this project and will reach them in the ways that they are used to or are most effective for communications with these stakeholder groups.
K&A will support activities described in the scope of work such as:
• Stakeholder and community group presentations
• Elected official and staff briefings
• City council presentations at iterative phases of the review process • Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) meetings • Third party outreach for dissemination of information to constituents
For each of these activities, K&A will provide the elements needed to mak e these efforts successful, including prioritization of stakeholder and community groups, research of standing meetings and coordination for getting on meeting agendas, message and Q&A development in preparation for presentations, translation of materials as needed, and coordination with community -based, civic organizations, and other audiences for distribution of information to their networks.
Collateral Materials
In preparation for broad communication and engagement activities, numerous methods and tools are anticipated to be used to connect with stakeholders. These could include fact sheets, FAQs, display boards, event materials, and briefing booklets, to name a few. All potential collateral material tools will be evaluated as part of the Communication Plan which will be prepared by K&A. The Communication Plan will be brief and detail stakeholders, communication approach and key meetings among other items. The collateral materials will provide information about the project, the CEQA and NEPA process, the EIR/EIS and key findings, how the public can be involved in the process, including upcoming meetings and opportunities for public comments. The K&A team has extensive experience reviewing CEQA and NEPA documents to translate the technical information in to an easy -to-understand way, including the development of graphics that help convey the information and increase understanding for the public. Materials may be translated by K&A into other languages as needed for broader accessibility and to comply with the Language Assistance Plan and Title VI requirements.
Public Meetings
Depending on the needs of the community, a facilitated open house format is generally preferred as it provides the opportunity for members of the public to have one-on-one conversations with subject matter experts, promoting familiarity and greater civility. The open house format also promotes more constructive and informed comments and allows members of the public who are uncomfortable with public speaking, or may have a minority opin ion, the opportunity to engage with the project team and provide input. Depending on the needs of the community, a presentation at the beginning of the public meeting, followed by a facilitated Q&A period may be desired by members of the public and helps ensure that everyone is receiving and acknowledging the same information. In an open house format, information stations are set up around the room and may include posters, maps, reference materials, videos, or other collateral materials, depending on the su bject topic. Project team representatives are available at each station to provide information and answer questions. A comment station is provided for the public to have a dedicated space to write comments or provide an oral comment. A stenographer may be available to transcribe oral comments for the formal CEQA public comment periods. To the extent feasible, public meetings will be held in public venues, such as community centers or schools, and at a time and location most convenient to the public. K&A will prepare a logistics plan for each public meeting to outline the purpose of the meeting, meeting format, materials needed, team participation, Attachment 1
and other logistics. In order to comply with state and local COVID protocols meetings may be conducted either online or in a hybrid format.
Additionally, K&A shall coordinate with multi -agency stakeholders and potential permitting agencies.
K&A will also prepare meeting agendas and minutes and track action items from these meetings.
Meetings required to obtain permits and design reviews and approvals are included in the Final Design task. Additional meetings can be provided as optional tasks.
Deliverables:
• Communication Plan
• Preparation for and attendance at BPAC Meetings (up to 2) • Preparation for and attendance at City Council Meetings (up to 3) • Preparation for and attendance at Community Meetings (up to 2) • Preparation for and attendance at Neighborhood Meetings (up to 3) • Preparation for and attendance at Property Owner/Agency Meetings (up to 3) • All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
C. Document Review and Existing Conditions Analysis
Existing conditions analysis should include review of the September 2015 Joint Cities Coordinated Stevens Creek Trail Feasibility Study and the Sunnyvale City Council approved alignment (RTC 16 - 0034, February 9, 2016). Acquisition of any necessary permits to enter or encroach ment permits to perform field reconnaissance is included in this task and they are assumed to be no cost permits. This task should also include a high-level and brief analysis memo of multimodal transportation conditions, context, and utilities within the study area, as well as review of all relevant policies, standards, and requirements associated with the project.
Utility request letters and an existing utility map will also be prepared as a part of this task.
For the Channel and Bank Geomorphic Conditi ons Assessment, ESA will perform a field review of geomorphic conditions, using staff with geomorphic experience in Stevens Creek. The team will map areas of potential bank instability and delineate approximate setbacks that would be required either to avoid, stabilize or restore those areas. The geomorphologists will coordinate with the team’s biologists to identify areas of the channel and riparian corridor that could be restored if required, for example as mitigation for impacts to the creek from bridge construction. If needed, this can include evaluation of potential barriers to steelhead migration and approaches to overcome them.
Deliverables:
• Multimodal Transportation Conditions Memo
• Utility Request Letters
• Existing Utility Map
• Channel and Bank Geomorphic Conditions Assessment Memo • All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
D. Topographic Survey
Conceptual design and design phase shall include a field or topographic survey and base mapping.
Mark Thomas shall provide topographic surveys to accomplish the Project intent including: survey of ground visible existing facilities, boundary survey of all affected properties, centerline control and stationing, mapping, topography from creek centerline to existing right -of-way line and beyond for construction match up and temporary construction easements, cross -sections of Stevens Creek and open space in future trail areas in intervals of not more than 50’, survey of existing SCVWD service road and continuation under the State Route 85 bridge.
Attachment 1
The limits of the survey will not extend beyond fences into the backyar ds of private properties and will be centered on the proposed alignment. It is assumed that access to the freeway will be limited to the on and off ramps only and that no topography or access will be needed to travel lanes of SR 85. Detail will be taken at all proposed creek crossings to support the design of the proposed bridge structure(s).
As part of the topographic survey, creek cross sections will be taken at six (6) locations: 2 at the highway overcrossing, 2 at the proposed bridge crossing and 2 at t he north end of the design for hydraulic studies. It is expected that these cross sections will be onerous to collect due to the thick vegetation and steep terrain and thus are limited to six cross sections and five (5) days of field work. If additional creek cross sections are required, the additional work will be negotiated in a separate fee. Additional survey activities may be required to support right -of-way acquisition which can be provided as a supplemental service.
Deliverables:
• Right of Way Base Mapping
• Topographic Survey
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
E. Conceptual Design and Analysis
Fehr & Peers (F&P) will lead t he development of conceptual design options based on the document review and existing conditions analysis. This task should include an iterative process of two (2) rounds to refine the conceptual options from the feasibility study. Special attention should be paid to the connections to and alignments at the end points of Remington Drive and Fremont Avenue.
The first round would generate a list of multiple possible alignments and connections and would include a discussion of pros and cons on a qualitative level. These options should build upon the work completed in the feasibility study and previous City Council feedback (see Appendix 3, Map 9-Study Segment 1).
Any issues not considered or resolved as part of the feasibility study should be included in this task. The deliverable for the first round is a series of exhibits illustrating the proposed align ment options and a qualitative pros and cons list or matrix. These exhibits and matrices should be in a format suitable for presentations to public meetings.
Consultant shall allow three weeks for City’s response before going to Round 2. The deliverable are PDF files. The optional service is to submit five (5) full size paper sets if hard copies are required.
The second round would screen the options down to three (3) alignment options for the trail alignment and roadway network connections with concept level exhibits and a quantitative discussion of pros and cons. Proposed metrics and comparison matrices will be prepared in collaboration with City staff. The conceptual design exhibits should include enough detail for the community and City Council to evaluate the best alignment to be evaluated in the environmental documents. The deliverable for the second round is revised exhibits incorporating feedback from the first round. More comprehensive comparison matrices are also anticipated as deliverables at t his round. The exhibits and matrices should be in a format suitable for presentation to public meetings including City Council.
A technical memorandum outlining the options and the process of screening shall be prepared for the City’s consideration for the second round. A preliminary cost estimate shall be included with each of the final three (3) options, along with other support information such as a comparison matrix outlining pros and cons for each option, expected permitting requir ements, potential right -of-way needs, estimated construction costs, and construction impacts. This information should be developed within the memo in exhibit form suitable for community and stakeholder outreach presentations
During the second round, the consultant shall recommend what is the CEQA approach: Initial Study (IS) and Negative Declaration (Neg Dec), or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Attachment 1
Consultant shall allow three weeks for City’s response to the second round. The deliverable are PDF files. Five (5) full size paper sets may be requested as an optional service.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Alternatives Analysis Memorandum
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
F. Environmental Clearance
Environmental review documentation will include preparation of an Initial Study (IS) and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (optional task) as appropriate to achieve CEQA clearance for the project. Enviro nmental clearance also includes incorporation of City comments to administrative drafts, necessary public notifications, preparation of and presentation at public hearings, and documentation revisions based on public comments.
This task includes an Administrative Draft Environmental Document, a Draft Environmental Document, distribution for and addressing of public review comments, and a Final Environmental Document.
Circulation of Draft and Final Environmental Documents as required is also included in thi s task.
Acceptance of and certification by the City Council is required as part of this task. ESA will assist City staff with the presentation to obtain environmental clearance.
It is expected that an Initial Study (IS) to support a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) would be the appropriate level of documentation for the project under CEQA; however, if during development of conceptual design and/or during preparation of the Initial Study it is identified that potentially significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to below the level of significance may occur, or if evaluation of more than one build alternative for the project would be necessary or desirable, then an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would be required instead.
ESA will prepare an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in a format desired by the City. The IS/MND will include an Environmental Project Description based on information provided by the City and the project team. An Environmental Checklist (Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines) will be completed to assess the level of significance of potential impacts. Each topic area will present the standards of significance; describe the affected environ ment; describe data sources and technical analyses used for the CEQA analysis; discuss project -specific impacts; and identify mitigation measures, if necessary.
The analysis completed in the IS/MND will be supported by various technical investigations and studies that will be completed to examine in detail any potential impacts and recommended avoidance, minimization and mitigation measures. Key technical investigations will include:
Air Quality
The project site is within the jurisdictio n of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD).
The BAAQMD has prepared CEQA Guidelines for assessing the air quality impacts of projects. For the Air Quality section of the IS/MND, ESA will assess the consistency of the project with the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan with reference to construction emissions, and discuss the potential for the project to adversely affect air quality or impede attainment of air quality goals. ESA will estimate off -road construction equipment emissions and on -road c onstruction vehicle emissions using the California Emission Estimator Model (CalEEMod version 2020.4.0), OFFROAD2017 and EMFAC2021 models, as appropriate, for comparison to the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Because there are no new emissions sources created by the project, operational impacts are expected to be primarily maintenance related and will be assessed qualitatively.
Construction activities associated with the trail extension would take place in close proximity to residences adjacent to Stevens Creek. The Office of Environmental Hazard Health Assessment (OEHHA) requires that a health risk assessment (HRA) be conducted if construction activities in the Attachment 1
vicinity of sensitive receptors would take place for more than two continuous months. ESA will conduct the construction HRA in accordance with guidance from the BAAQMD, OEHHA and CARB. The HRA will use U.S. EPA’s AERSCREEN dispersion model and health risk parameters specified by OEHHA.
AERSCREEN will use worst -case meteorological and terrain conditi ons to provide conservative pollutant concentrations for the HRA. If the screening analysis shows that health risks at the nearest receptor would exceed the BAAQMD’s thresholds, a detailed HRA will be conducted using U.S. EPA’s AERMOD dispersion model, site-specific meteorological, and terrain data. The detailed HRA will be an add-on task and is not included in this scope. If a detailed HRA becomes necessary, ESA will submit a separate scope and budget to cover that task. ESA will identify practical, feasible mitigation measures for any air quality impacts identified from the project identified as significant and evaluate whether mitigation measures would reduce the impacts below a level of significance.
Biological Resources Report
ESA will prepare a biolo gical resources technical report of the project area to document existing biological conditions and support the CEQA biological resources section and regulatory permit applications. Stevens Creek is a known steelhead migratory corridor and exhibits a direct connection to the San Francisco Bay. Protected biological resources could be affected during project implementation.
Based on recent queries of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), National Oceani c and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) quadrangle species query, California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California and our understanding from background information for the project area. ESA has identified multiple biological resources present or potentially present that could be affected by the project. Such resources include:
• Federally and State regulated wetlands and waters
• Federally listed species (California red-legged frog, Coho salmon (central California Coast evolutionary significant unit [ESU]), central California coast steelhead DPS) • State regulated riparian habitat
• Central California coast steelhead DPS Critical Habitat • State fully protected species (white-tailed kite)
• California species of special concern (obscure bumble bee, western pond turtle, northern harrier, pallid bat, Townsend's big-eared bat, San Francisco woodrat, and Pacific lamprey); and other protected resources and concerns (other CEQA-relevant species [western leatherwood, woodland woolythreads, hoary bat, and Yuma myotis], migratory bird nests, locally protected trees, and invasive plant management)
To support environmental review and approval of the project, ESA biologists will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey of the project area to thoroughly assess, and document protected biological resources present or those with potential to occur. ESA wil l draft the biological resources report to fully document protected biological resources (including CEQA-relevant resources) present or potentially present that could be affected by the project. Given the close proximity to SR 85 and the uncertainty of possible Caltrans involvement in the project approval process, ESA biologists will prepare the biological resources report consistent with Caltrans’ guidance and requirements for a Natural Environmental Study (NES) should an NES become necessary. Recommended avoidance and minimization measures will be provided to reduce the likelihood of potential impacts where possible.
Where potential impacts would be unavoidable, recommended mitigation reflecting realistic regulatory expectations will be provided.
Cultural Resources Report
ESA will prepare a technical report that identifies cultural resources and meets the requirements of CEQA and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Compliance with Section 106 will be required to support future acquisitio n of federal permits (Nationwide 404 permit from the U.S. Army Attachment 1
Corps of Engineers) during Final Design.) The report will include the results of background research at the Northwest Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information Syste m and a surface survey. Recommendations for additional work will be provided, and could include site evaluation, monitoring during project implementation, and/or actions to follow in the event of an inadvertent discovery of archaeological materials or huma n remains. The report will provide the basis for the cultural resources section of the CEQA document. This scope assumes that no historic -era architectural resources are in the project area that would need to be recorded and evaluated. This scope also does not include a subsurface study to test for the presence of buried archaeological resources; if deemed necessary these tasks would be scoped separately.
ESA will contact the Native American Heritage Commission to request information on known sacred sites in the project vicinity and draft letters for the City to send to Native American tribes who have requested consultation in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21080.3(b). The results of any Native American consultation will provide the bas is for the tribal cultural resources section of the CEQA document.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be estimated using the CalEEMod, OFFROAD2017, and EMFAC2021 models, as described for the air quality evaluation. The GHG secti on of the IS/MND will rely on the significance criteria in the Appendix G CEQA checklist in assessing the project’s potential impacts. The BAAQMD’s most recent (2017) CEQA Guidelines provides three different significance thresholds that could be used in pr oject-level analysis of GHG emissions. The first two thresholds are quantitative but are no longer applicable as they are based on the state’s GHG reduction goals for 2020 mandated under Assembly Bill 32. The BAAQMD has not yet updated these thresholds to address the state’s GHG reduction goals for 2030 as mandated by Senate Bill 32 (SB 32). Therefore, the analysis for the project will rely on the third significance threshold which allows for an evaluation of the project’s consistency with the City of Sunn yvale’s 2014 Climate Action Plan (2014 CAP) for the assessment of project impacts. The City’s 2014 CAP sets a goal to reduce GHG emissions by 80 percent by 2050, which is more aggressive than the SB 32 GHG reduction target to achieve 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 relative to 1990 levels. A project-specific threshold will be developed based on the 2017 CAP.
ESA will identify mitigation measures, as needed, to reduce GHG emissions resulting from implementation of the project and to reconcile any inconsistencies between the proposed project and applicable plans.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
ESA will prepare a hazardous materials and waste technical study for the project by completing the following tasks.
Regulatory Records Review and Fil e Search: A search of federal, state, and local regulatory agency electronic databases will be performed to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) as defined by ASTM 1527. This database search identifies locations that are regulated under vari ous environmental laws, notably CERCLA, RCRA, and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The records search will also identify locations where a release of hazardous substances has occurred or is suspected. The search area will include the project footprint and properties adjacent to the project footprint to assess whether past activities may affect the construction of the project.
Visual Inspection: The project study area will be visually inspected to observe and document conditions within and near the proj ect limits. Photograph documentation of potential hazardous materials issues will be completed. The purpose is to identify RECs that may affect the construction of the proposed project.
Attachment 1
Historical Information Review: A review of historical information sou rces will be conducted to evaluate whether prior land uses may pose an environmental concern within or near any properties within the project area. These historical information sources will include, as available: historical aerial photographs, historical topographic maps, fire insurance maps, city directories, and environmental lien data.
Occupant and Owner Interviews: We understand that the proposed project would occur within the existing public right -of-way and may require encroaching on or acquiring pr ivate or commercial properties.If the project will require encroachment onto private or commercial property, owner interviews (if possible) would be completed by ESA in conjunction with the City for those properties.
Evaluate Data and Report Preparation: ESA will evaluate available information collected concerning the project site and its surroundings to identify RECs. According to the ASTM E1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (Phase I ESA), RECs are defined as the presence or likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.
Significant findings from the above -stated tasks will be summarized in a stand -alone ISA technical report, and recommendations will be made for additional site assessment activities, if needed. The results and recommendations of the technical report will be referenced in the CEQA document.
Noise
Noise impacts associated with the project would be short -term in nature. Construction activities would temporarily affect ambient noise levels in the vicinity of construction areas. The project has noise - sensitive uses in the vicinity of the proposed trail extension, specifically neighborhoods to the east and west of Stevens Creek.
For the noise analysis, ESA will identify existing standards contained in the Sunnyvale General Plan Noise Element and municipal code that limit construction noise. Construction impacts to receptors will be assessed using the Roadway Noise Construction Model assuming simultaneous operation of the two noisiest pieces of construction equipment, consistent with guidance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Operational noise levels are anticipated to be minimal and would be addressed qualitatively. ESA will also assess vibration levels from project construction equipment based on proximity to structures (both historic, if any, and non -historic) and vibration exposure standards for building damage and human annoyance developed by the FTA in the absence of any existing standards in the City’s General Plan.
ESA will identify practical, feasible mitigation measures including the use of performance standards to address any identified significant impacts and evaluate whether selected mitigation measures would reduce the impacts below a level of significance.
Other topic areas that will be examined in the CEQA document will include: Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral R esources, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, Wildfire, and Mandatory Findings of Significance.
ESA will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/MND for review by the pr oject team and City. Following internal review of the Administrative Draft IS/MND, ESA will review the project team and City’s comments and make changes as necessary, resulting in a Public Draft IS/MND that is ready for distribution. ESA will prepare the N otice of Intent (NOI) to Adopt an MND and Notice of Completion (NOC) for review by the City. ESA will then submit the NOI and attached IS (including the Environmental Checklist) along with the NOC to the State Clearinghouse (electronic submittal).
Attachment 1
At the close of the anticipated 30-day public review period, ESA will prepare a Final IS/MND by preparing responses to comments, an errata outlining any recommended changes to the text of the Public Draft IS/MND, the Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Plan (MMRP), and Notice of Determination (NOD). ESA will support City staff with acceptance and certification of the document by City Council by assisting City staff with presentation materials for City Council review and attending the adoption hearing. It is assumed the City will prepare the project Findings. Within five days of the adoption of the MND, ESA will file the NOD with the State Clearinghouse.
It is assumed the City will post environmental documents and associated notices to their website for public revi ew and develop a circulation list to send the NOI to and transmit the NOI; NOIs will be circulated electronically. The City will send the NOC and NOI to the County Clerk’s office for posting and pay for any submittal or posting fees. City staff will prep are the project findings for City Council approval and the Final IS/MND will be approved and adopted by the City Council during one hearing.
Deliverables:
• Administrative Draft IS/MND
• Draft and Final IS/MND
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
G. Right-of-Way Services
AR/WS shall provide all right-of-way services as needed for temporary and permanent usage of the trail, including coordination with title companies, County recorder’s office, and other stakeholders. At City’s request, AR/WS shall lead or significantly participa te in all right -of-way negotiations with affected property owners. It is anticipated that the project will encroach into five (5) agency jurisdictions, requiring at least five (5) easements, both temporary and permanent. Submittals to support right -of-way acquisition activities shall be made at the appropriate stages throughout the design stage, in accordance with City standards.
AR/WS will provide appraisals as directed by the City and will be prepared in accordance with California Eminent Domain Law; California Government Code Section 7260 et seq.; and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice requirements, except as jurisdictionally exempt. The owner or a designated representative will be invited by the appraiser to accompany him/her dur ing the inspection of the property. Appraisals will be prepared in an Appraisal Report format in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, Standard Rule 2-2 and are for the “Fair Market Value” of the properties as per California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1263.320.
AR/WS will prepare acquisition documents and will include, but are not limited to the offer letter, appraisal summary statement and summary of the basis for just compensation, summary statement pertaining to the acquisition of real property or an interest therein, purchase agreement, deed, and public acquisition brochure. AR/WS will initiate and maintain individual acquisition files and all acquisition documents to receive City’s written approval as to form prior to use in the field. AR/WS will negotiate to acquire permanent and temporary easement acquisitions identified by the Client or City. We are assuming there will be negotiations with up to 5 property owners and no lessees. All discussions for the acqu isition of property or an interest therein will be directed to result in the payment of just compensation. If settlement with owners is reached pursuant to the City approved appraisal or City approved administrative settlement, AR/WS will prepare a Memorandum of Settlement for transmittal to City, reviewing the issues. This memorandum will require City’s written approval before implementation of any settlement agreement.
AR/WS will make every reasonable effort to acquire property on behalf of the City expeditiously through agreement with its owner and to avoid litigation. This may necessitate greater levels of effort in the negotiations phase and, where appropriate, should continue after eminent domain has been initiated.
Attachment 1
City will provide ongoing feedback to AR/WS as to authorization for settlements. AR/WS will establish a process of coordinating escrow closings and reviewing escrow instructions. Where there are escrow closings, preparation of escrow instructions will be completed by title company. Appro val of conditions of title and escrow instructions, including but not limited to, “subject to” title exceptions, will be done by City. If agreement with all owners cannot be reached, AR/WS will advise City that negotiations have reached an impasse. The Ci ty will consider scheduling of an action in eminent domain including the required public necessity hearing. AR/WS will provide condemnation support as needed and requested, budget allowing.
This scope assumes non -complex acquisitions from up to 5 properti es, no impacts to parking, no acquisition of buildings or other structures, no loss of access or other damages and no federal funding, therefore no independent appraisal reviews needed. Appraisals will be billed lump sum. All other AR/WS services will be billed on an hourly basis.
Mark Thomas will obtain up to 5 title reports (assumed to be up to $2,500 per report) and prepare up to 10 appraisal maps for affected properties. A field survey will be performed to locate monumentation to establish the Right-of-way and property lines and the boundary survey work will be based upon Parcel maps (PM), Records of Survey (RS) & Tract maps (TM) found in public record. It is our understanding that no other monument ties to other maps will be necessary to complete th is project other than those available in accessible public records. We will prepare plats, legal descriptions, and closure calculations, stamped and sealed by a California Licensed Land Surveyor or the ability to do so as a Civil Engineer. Prior to construction, a copy of the complete Right-of-Way file, including memoranda of conversations via phone, shall be provided to the City, in accordance with City’s procedures.
It is assumed that monuments will not need to be set and that a Record of Survey will n ot be required, no fee properties, including Caltrans properties, will be acquired along the project corridor and that Caltrans Appraisal Mapping and Record Mapping are excluded from this scope.
During the course of a boundary survey, it is possible that the requirement to file a record of survey will be triggered. This most often happens by the discovery of conflicts or alternate evidence not shown on recent maps. Should such a conflict or other evidence be discovered, work will stop , and the project team will be notified. Work will continue when agreement has been reached on path forward and additional budget for a Record of Survey has been secured.
Anticipated Right-of-Way Submittals:
• Obtain up to 5 title reports and appraisals for affected properties • Appraisal Maps (up to 10) determining temporary or permanent right-of-way requirements (size and exact area) for construction of trail and bridges
•
• Economic studies, comparative sales research, cost estimates, etc., if needed and completed as a supplemental service
• Plats, legal descriptions, and closure calculations (up to 10), stamped and sealed by a California Licensed Land Surveyor or the ability to do so as a Civil Engineer • Grant deed, temporary construction easement, or permanent easement forms prepared to meet the specifications of the County Recorder
•
• Prior to construction, a copy of the consultant’s complete Right-of-Way file, including memoranda of conversations via phone, shall be provided to the City, in accordance with City’s procedures.
Deliverables:
• Draft Notice of Decision to Appraise
• Appraisal Report
Attachment 1
• Draft Acquisition Documents for approval.
• Preliminary Title Reports (up to 5)
• Memorandum of Settlement and Signed Agreement (upon settlement) • Notice that negotiations have reached an impasse (if needed) • Appraisal Maps (up to 10)
• Plat and Legal Descriptions (up to 10, 5 temporary and 5 permanent) • Grant Deeds for temporary or permanent easements (per County Recorder Standards)
• Right of Way File
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
H. Final Design Development
The Mark Thomas team shall serve as the Engineer of Record and responsible for design and preparation of complete plans and technical specifications for the project. The Mark Thomas team will perform an adequate field investigation to confirm existing conditions.
All work will be in compliance with current applicable rules, regulations, code, law, and good practice for public facilities including applicable trail, pedes trian, and bicycle facility design standards and best practices. When possible, we will incorporate “green” building/construction practices, sustainability, energy efficiency, and low operations and maintenance costs into recommendations and subsequent design. Coordination with City staff on potential opportunities for green infrastructure within the project area will be included in the project scope during preliminary design.
Use of contractors, and all applicable subcontractors which are required to pay prevailing wages, requires registration with the State of California, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) through the Public Works Contractor Registration Program (PWC Registration) before bidding, being awarded, or performing work on public works pro jects in California. This includes those performing surveying work, material testing, inspection, trucking, boring, potholing, concrete deliveries and temporary service companies who provide workers to prevailing wage contractors. For complete details, ple ase refer to Appendix 1: Labor Compliance.
Plans and specifications shall provide sufficient detail to result in an industry standard product while allowing competitive pricing where possible and appropriate and provide options to the contractor as directed by the City to obtain the same level of quality for the best bid price. Plans and specifications shall not specify proprietary products or services.
Preparation of front end and boilerplate specifications will be the responsibility of the City. Specifications shall be prepared in CSI 2020 format for most items, but 2018 Caltrans specifications will be used for the structural elements. As the preferred alternative has not been selected it is assumed that Caltrans documentation and project approvals (i. e., PSR-PR or equivalent document) will not be required. If Caltrans documentation is required, we can prepare that as a supplemental service.
H.1 Permits and Regulatory Agency Coordination
The Mark Thomas team will identify required stakeholder coordination needed for permits, access, and review and concurrence of design, outreach with land owners, easement owners, regulatory agencies, City of Sunnyvale Building Division, truck route permits issuance agencies, encroachment permits issuance agencies, and other regulatory stakeholders including but not limited to Santa Clara Valley Water District, State Water Resources Control Board/Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), U.S. Department of Fish and Game, California Department of Fish an d Wildlifeand the Army Corps of Engineers. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), California Water, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), City of Mountain View, City of Los Altos, and Caltrans will be handled during PS&E.The Mark Thomas team will be responsible for obtaining all regulatory permits necessary for work in and adjacent to Stevens Creek for all design activities and coordinate all necessary reviews and address Attachment 1
comments from all stakeholders. Meetings to obtain permits and design concur rence and to meet regulatory requirements are included in this task with detailed scope elements described below.
Sokale Environmental Planning (Sokale) will identify required regulatory and resource agency stakeholders including the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water), San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), NOAA Fisheries and USFWS. The project will require environmental compliance under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (Dredge and Fill Permit), Section 401 of the CWA (Water Quality Certification [WQC]), Section 1600 of the California Fish and Game Code (Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement [LSAA]), and Tree Removal Permits f rom Sunnyvale and Mountain View.
Sokale will identify the anticipated permits and plan requirements necessary for construction. An individual permit application will be prepared for each agency. The permit applications will likely require supplemental information required for USACE and Regional Board to issue permits including a wetland delineation, biological assessment to support Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act for steelhead, revegetation plan, hydraulic analysis and a mitigation, monitoring and reporting plan.
Sokale will coordinate and prepare materials for pre -application meetings and/or site visits with the regulatory and resource agencies. Sokale will prepare a draft of each permit application for staff review and comment and one final application for submittal to the agencies.
ESA will provide support for elements of the regulatory permit applications as described below:
Aquatic Resources Delineation: Stevens Creek is considered a Water of the U.S. and State, and work within or improvements to the stream channel are expected to require an Aquatic Resources Delineation Report (ARDR) to support necessary federal and state regulatory permit applications. ESA will conduct an aquatic resources delineation to quantify and characterize the existing jurisdictional waters within the project area, with a focus on areas expected to be disturbed by the project, as established in the 30% designs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) jurisdiction will be determined in the field using the presence of an ordinary high -water mark and the methodology in the USACE 1987 wetland delineation manual and any applicable regional supplements (e.g., Arid West Supplement). San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) jurisdiction will be determined per recently adopted State Procedures for Discharges of Dredged/Fill Material to Waters of the State. Extent of CDFW-regulated areas will be determined by the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, the location of a definable bed and bank, and the presence of associated riparian, wildlife, or fish resources. The boundaries of these agency jurisdictions will be mapped on figures of an appropriate scale. A stand - alone report (ARDR) will be prepared describing jurisdictional waters and wetlands in the project area.
The report will include methods, results, and a graphic depicting the approximate size and location of any jurisdictional areas. The report will be consistent with the requirements of the USACE, RWQCB and CDFW. Copies of field data sheets will be included. The report will describe delineation methodology and jurisdictional areas of the site. The report will provide the necessary documentation for developing and processing the subsequent USACE Section 404 permit, RWQCB 401 Certification and/or Waste Discharge Requirements, and CDFW Section 1600 Streambed Alteration Agreement, as applicable.
Section 7 Biological Assessment: If the results of the biological survey c onducted during the CEQA phase (Task F) identify that federally listed species (e.g., California red -legged frog, central California coast steelhead DPS) or Critical Habitat (e.g., for central California coast steelhead DPS) may be affected by the project, ESA will prepare a joint USFWS/NMFS Biological Assessment (BA), as appropriate, to assess the effects of the project (based on approved 60% designs) and to support the USACE as the federal lead agency in completing Section 7 Consultation with the appropri ate federal resource agencies (USFWS and/or NMFS). Conservation measures utilized in the BA will incorporate avoidance and minimization measures from applicable, species -specific programmatic biological opinions (e.g., Programmatic Biological Opinion for P rojects Funded or Approved under the Federal Attachment 1
Highway Administration's Federal Aid Program for California Red-legged Frog, Programmatic Biological Opinion for Issuance of Permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for Projects that May Affect the Thre atened California Red -Legged Frog in Nine San Francisco Bay Area Counties, and Programmatic Biological Opinion for Protected Salmonids and Restoration Projects in the NMFS Restoration Center’s Central Coastal California Office). If, based on the selected p roject design and wildlife agency responses, the project is eligible for coverage pursuant to one or more programmatic biological opinions, the joint USFWS/NMFS BA will be prepared to meet the agencies’ needs in confirming programmatic coverage; otherwise, the BA will address effects in support of individual Section 7 coverage.
Tree Survey: An ESA International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) -certified arborist will conduct an inventory of all trees within and immediately adjacent to (within 50 feet) the pr oject work areas based on 75% or greater designs. The arborist will collect data of protected trees (4 or more inches diameter at breast height (DBH) (4.5 feet above grade) per CDFW guidance and compliant with Chapter 19.94 of the City of Sunnyvale’s municipal code. Tree data collected will include tree species, trunk DBH, dripline radius, location (with a <1-meter capable GPS device), and other notes concerning tree structure and health. The arborist will prepare a brief tree inventory report, including a figure of tree locations, to inform the tree removal permit application and tree compensation expected to be necessary.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final USACE – Nationwide Permits with Section 7 Consultation with NOAA Fisheries for steelhead
• Draft and Final CDFW – 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement • Draft and Final RWQCB – Water Quality Certification and Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements
• Aquatic Resources Delineation Report

H.2 Utility Research and Coordination
Mark Thomas will provide utility support services including: research and obtain file copies of utility maps within the Project limits for existing/proposed facilities, prepare preliminary plans with utility notices/questionnaires to be sent to utility companies, plotting of existing and proposed utilities in plan view (and profile view when appropriate/possible), monitor responses to utility notices received by City and make recommendations for mitigating conflicts, attend utility coordination meetings, coordinate pothole efforts information, prepare, coordinate, and acquire permits with all agencies having known underground and overhead facilities within Project limits.
We have assumed up to 10 Potholes at a cost of $2, 500 per pothole. It is assumed that no utility relocation is required as a part of this project.
Deliverables:
• Pothole Report
• Existing Utility Mapping (revised)
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
Attachment 1
H.3 Bridge Design and Structural Calculations
Mark Thomas shall be responsible for the design of trail bridges over Stevens Creek and bridge and structural work requir ed to go under the State Route 85 Stevens Creek bridge depending upon the preferred alternative selected as a part of the Alternatives Analysis in Task E. This work may include:
• design of the new structures to accommodate SCVWD’s freeboard requirements • restoration as necessary of private property, including retaining walls, creek banks, abutments, etc.;
• design of temporary support facilities for any utilities spanning the creek through the old bridge structure; and
• realignment and improvements as necessary to SCVWD maintenance paths and access points.
The plans, Specifications, and Structural calculation of the bridge shall be provided for City’s Community review as part of 75% design submittal. In addition, an independent structure calculations check must be performed by a registered engineer in the State of California. The person performing the calculations check must have no other involvement in the Project other than producing a set of independent structural calculations to verify design and details shown on the plan set. This person must be identifi ed on the project organizational chart provided in the proposal. A copy of the independent structure calculations check must be signed and stamped by the structural engineer and submitted to the City.
For the purposes of this scope of work, it is assumed that the following structures will be required; Prefabricated steel truss bridge crossing Stevens Creek, soil nail walls along the NB SR 85 on -ramp, and "tub" retaining walls and multi -span cast -in-place slab bridges at the bridge approaches. The structural design will be performed in accordance with AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 8th Edition with California Amendments, AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges, and Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria, Version 2.0. The l atest versions of the Caltrans Bridge Design Manuals will be used. The designs will conform to Valley Water freeboard requirements. Mark Thomas will design the bridge foundations, anchorages, and substructures for the prefabricated steel truss bridge over Stevens Creek and coordinate with prefabricated steel truss supplier(s) for superstructure geometry and loads. Prefabricated steel trusses are pre-engineered, Mark Thomas will not be designing the truss.
Mark Thomas will perform an independent design chec k of the 75% structures plans in conformance with Caltrans bridge design procedures. The independent check will be completed by an engineer who was not directly involved in the original design of the structures.

H.4 Hydrology/Hydraulic Design
ESA will design facilities to address surface runoff, infiltration and treatment requirements, and any other stormwater pollution prevention per the State Construction General Permit. ESA shall address erosion and sediment control during construction. ESA will also look at eliminating any impacts of the Project to the flows in Stevens Creek.
Based on ESA’s previous work updating the Valley Water hydraulic model of this reach (Reach 2c of Stevens Creek) it appears unlikely that the bridges and trail will alter flood conveyance in Stevens Creek or come close to encroaching on Valley Water freeboard constraints (4 feet of freeboard at bridges during the 100 -year flood). However, ESA will confirm thi s by adapting existing hydraulic models of Stevens Creek (provided by Valley Water) to model project conditions and ensure that the project does not impact flows, cause an increase in water surface elevation, or encroach on freeboard limits.
As part of the hydraulic design, ESA will use Valley Water’s existing HEC RAS hydraulic model to conduct bridge scour analyses using the procedure laid out in Federal Highway Administration Guidance HEC 18 and HEC 20. Channel bed samples will be collected during the channel and bank geomorphic conditions assessment, and the model will be used to assess reach scale, contraction and local scour, estimate scour depth, and to inform design of the bridge abutments and any required bank and bed stabilization measures.
As this is an off -street trail project it is assumed to be exempt from any Municipal Regional Permit requirements as there is a trail exemption under Section C.3. No subsurface drainage improvements will be required as a part of this project.
Deliverables:
• Existing and proposed conditions hydraulic model in electronic HEC RAS format • Hydraulic Conditions Memo
• All files to be delivered in .pdf format unless specified otherwise
H.5 Landscape
ESA shall prepare l andscape and irrigation design is required as part of the PS&E package. The landscaping design shall conform to the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinances for the City of Sunnyvale and City of Mountain View, as applicable. Landscape design consists of conforms or limited restoration on private property, and minor work along the trail at bridge abutment s. Mitigation landscaping is not included in this scope of work but can be provided as an supplemental service.
H.6 Geotechnical investigation
Geotechnical investigations shall be performed for bridge installation, bridge abutments, retaining wall reconstruction, trail excavation and embankments, and trail improvements for the Project as required and based upon the preferred alternative selected as a part of Task E. Geotechnical investigation reports shall be submitted at 30% or 75% design submittals; and may include pavement coring, subgrade soil exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering evaluation. A boring plan shall be prepared for the Cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain View (and SCVWD and California Water if necessary) to review for issuance of encroachment permits within the individual jurisdictions. Pavement structural sections shall be in accordance with Caltrans requirements. A structure foundation report for bridge and retaining wall construction shall be prepared in accordance with Caltrans Office of Structure Foundations report guidelines.
Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc. (CSA) will complete the geotechnical investigation work for the project. CSA has budgeted for five days of drilling with the intent to drill a boring at each abutment of each of the three proposed pedestrian bridges, and if time permits, at several likely retaining wall locations. The final number of borings completed will depend on various factors including the subsurface materials encountered, depth of borings, access between borings, and weather. We have also budgeted Attachment 1
for two days of traffic control for borings in the vicinity of Fremont Avenue. Finally, we propose to submit one geotechnical investigation report for the borings/structures situated outside of Caltrans right‐of‐way, and three reports (PFR, SPGR, and FR) for the portion of the investigation located within the Caltrans right‐of way. CSA proposes the following scope of work: 1) review published maps and available data, and discuss with Mark Thomas location of proposed structures and locate the proposed borings in the field; 2) contract with a private utility locating firm to clear the proposed boring locations of underground utilities; 3) contract with a traffic control company to prepare a traffic control plan for the borings in the Fremont Avenue area, and provide traffic control during subsurface exploration; 4) prepare a boring plan and apply for encroachment a nd excavation permits (where required) from the Cities of Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Altos, and Valley Water for subsurface exploration (and Caltrans, as required); 5) map the surficial geologic materials and prepare and engineering geologic map; 6) contract with a driller with all‐terrain access to drill, sample, and backfill exploratory borings for five days (and dispose of spoils); 7) perform pertinent laboratory tests; 8) perform geotechnical engineering analyses to develop design criteria parameters for the bridge foundations, retaining walls, and pavement design; 9) prepare up to four reports (three for the Caltrans jurisdiction borings and one for the other borings) in which we will describe the results of our investigation and analyses, and provide conclusions and recommendations, including geotechnical/geologic hazards, groundwater conditions, subsurface materials encountered, and foundation recommendations, etc.; and 10) provide plan review comments and consultation.
