Ukiah Public Financing Authority
Electric Revenue Bonds,
Series 2022
The undersigned, on behalf of RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the “Underwriter”), hereby certifies as set forth below with respect to the sale and issuance of the above-captioned bonds (the “Series 2022 Bonds”).

The Underwriter, the Ukiah Public Financing Authority (the “Issuer”), and the City of Ukiah, have executed a Purchase Contract (the “Purchase Contract”) in connection with the Series 2022 Bonds on ________, 2022 (the “Sale Date”). The Underwriter has not modified the Purchase Contract since its execution on the Sale Date.

1. Sale of the Series 2022 Bonds. As of the date of this certificate, for each Maturity of the [Bonds][General Rule Maturities], the first price at which at least 10% of such Maturity was sold to the Public is the respective price listed in Exhibit A.

2. Initial Offering Price of the Hold-the-Offering-PriceMaturities. [The Underwriter offered the Hold-the-Offering Price Maturities to the Public for purchase at the respective initial offering prices listed in Schedule A (the “Initial Offering Prices”) on or before the Sale Date. A copy of the pricing wire or equivalent communication for the Bonds is attached to this certificate as Schedule B.]
As set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Underwriting Group has agreed in writing that, (i) for each Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities, it would neither offer nor sell any of the unsold Bonds of such Maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Maturity during the Holding Period for such Maturity (the “hold-the-offeringprice rule”) nor would they permit a related party to do so, and (ii) any selling group agreement shall contain the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and any third-party distribution agreement shall contain the agreement of each broker-dealer who is a party to the thirdparty distribution agreement, to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule. Pursuant to such agreements, no Underwriter has offered or sold any unsold Bonds of any Maturity of the Bonds at a price that is higher than the respective Initial Offering Price for that Maturity of the Bonds during the Holding Period.

Defined Terms.

General Rule Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the “General Rule Maturities.”

Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the “Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities.” Holding Period means, with respect to a Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity, the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriters have sold at least 10% of such Hold-the-OfferingPrice Maturity to the Public at prices that are no higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Hold the Offering Price Maturity.

Issuer means Ukiah Public Financing Authority.

Maturity means Bonds with the same credit and payment terms. Bonds with different maturity dates, or Bonds with the same maturity date but different stated interest rates, are treated as separate maturities.

Public means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter.

The term “related party” for purposes of this certificate means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly.

Underwriter means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public).

Other Certifications.
(d) The aggregate of the Initial Offering Prices of the Bonds is $________. (e) We have provided the attached schedules, at the direction of Bond Counsel, relating to the calculation of the arbitrage yield with respect to the Bonds. (f) We have provided the attached schedules, at the direction of Bond Counsel, relating to the calculation of the weighted average maturity of the Bonds. We have performed this calculation using the following formula: we calculated the total number of bond years and divided that number into the total initial offering price of the bonds of the offering. For purposes of calculating the total bond years, we calculated the sum of the products of each respective maturity’s initial offering price and the number of years from the dated date to each respective maturity, doing so on a 12-month, 360-day year basis.

We express no view regarding the legal sufficiency of the above computations or the correctness of any legal interpretation made by Bond Counsel. Further, notwithstanding the Underwriter having performed the calculations as set forth in the Statistics using the DBC Software, we remind you that we are not accountants or actuaries, nor are we engaged in the practice of law.

Summary: The City Council will receive a status report and consider any action or direction related to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Emergency including operational preparedness and response; continuity of City operations and services; community and business impacts; and any other related matters.

Background: On March 4, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in California in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The County of Mendocino declared a State of Emergency related to the COVID-19 on March 4, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, declared the existence of a local emergency.

On March 18, 2020, City Council approved a Resolution ratifying the proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency.

Since the onset of the emergency, the City of Ukiah has worked to respond to the public health and safety needs of the community in cooperation with the County of Mendocino and other partners. The local response for public health is lead regionally by the County of Mendocino and the County's Public Health Officer. In addition, the City of Ukiah has worked to maintain the continuity of public services including public safety, water, sewer, electric, airport, public works, and other essential activities.

3. GHD - Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project - Fee Proposal Summary: The City Council will consider awarding a professional services agreement to GHD in the amount of $239,393 to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimate for the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

Background: This project is for the design of the rehabilitation of Talmage Road from Airport Park Blvd. to State Street. Design for this project will include the anticipated paving overlay of the roadway where appropriate on a highly traveled route in disrepair. To improve pedestrian travel along this roadway, as well as provide better access to the Great Redwood Trail, City staff is seeking the design of missing sections of sidewalk on both the north and south side of Talmage Road which will likely require the widening of the existing crossing over Doolin Creek as well as placement of a new pedestrian bridge over the creek near the west end of this project. Design will also include construction of all necessary pedestrian ADA curb ramps within the scope of this project.

Discussion: The City issued a request for proposals (Attachment 1) and sent it to local firms. In addition, staff posted the RFP on the City's website through eBidboard on December 16, 2021. In response to the City's RFP, two consulting firms submitted a proposal including GHD Inc. and BKF Engineers. The selection committee consisting of City staff reviewed the proposals and selected GHD as the recommended consultant to design this project. GHD's billing rates are consistent with industry standards and their proposal best fits with the request and scope of this project. GHD's proposal (Attachment 2) and the cost proposal (Attachment 3) are included with this report for reference.

GHD's cost for the proposed work is $239,393. Staff recommends award of a professional services agreement to GHD in the amount of $239,393. A subsequent budget amendment is also requested. The funding source for this project will be the Series 2022 Lease Revenue Bonds.

Throughout the design process for this project, the Complete Streets Ad Hoc (Rodin, Crane) will continue to be engaged.

Recommended Action: Award professional services agreement to GHD Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $239,393 to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimate for the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project, and approve corresponding budget amendments.

January 31, 2022 Proposal No. 12571020
Mr. Andrew Stricklin, Associate Engineer
City of Ukiah – Department of Public Works
300 Seminary Avenue
Ukiah, CA 95482
RE: GHD Proposal for Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project Dear Mr. Stricklin,
The design of the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project is an important infrastructure renewal project for the City of Ukiah (City) as it furthers the City's efforts to revitalize and renew key arterial roads that connect U.S. 101 with the South State Street corridor and the downtown area. This is a unique project with some interesting challenges and is similar in scope to the work we performed on the Redwood Business Park Transportation Improvements project and the Great Redwood Trail projects. These similar projects are located adjacent to this project, and we believe that our experience on those projects uniquely qualifies us to design this project. The City is seeking an experienced team of engineers with knowledge of the local conditions and ability to develop and deliver innovative design solutions to cost-effectively rehabilitate the existing road pavement. Bringing our recent experience on the very similar Ukiah projects, the GHD team has the knowledge, expertise, and capabilities to meet or beat the City's schedule and successfully deliver this project.

Our team has developed a thorough understanding of the key design issues and the services requested by the City for this proposal. With our knowledge of the City's goals, our team has compiled information and resources from our previous projects including City utility records, geotechnical records, and Right-of-Way mapping, as well as identified coordination needs along the Talmage Road corridor. We are confident we can deliver the right project on-time and within budget.

Our proposal demonstrates our understanding of the project. It also illustrates these strengths of our team:

Strong Team Leadership: Project Director, Matt Kennedy, PE, TE, ENV SP and Project Manager, Erik Fanselau, PE, CFM, LEED AP, are both very familiar with delivering similar projects. They are also experienced in overcoming project challenges and meeting project budget and schedule. Matt has successfully delivered numerous City of Ukiah projects, and understands how to complete projects effectively and efficiently, and to work collaboratively with City staff. Erik has over 23 years of experience with civil design and project management experience working for a variety of public agencies and share's Matt's passion for project excellence.

A Proven Team with City of Ukiah Experience: Many members of our team, including our subconsultant, have worked together on other City projects such as the Ukiah Redwood Business Park and Talmage Road Interchange, the Downtown Streetscape Improvements Projects and the Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Projects. Our familiarity working together in partnership with the City, will help streamline delivery and enable efficient performance.

Innovative Approach to Delivering the Design: As described in our Approach, we propose to perform most of the survey using GHD's Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanner, which is extremely accurate, will significantly reduce the survey cost and save time in the schedule. This innovative survey method can be used on other City projects to significantly reduce cost and shave weeks off the schedule. We are excited to share this advanced capability with you.

Extensive Roadway Replacement and Pavement Rehabilitation Experience: With over 19 years of experience, Matt Kennedy has delivered numerous successful road rehabilitation and pedestrian improvement projects. Erik Fanselau has over 23 years of experience with similar roadway projects. This leadership team has the experience to successfully deliver this project to the satisfaction of the City. We will also work with pavement enhancement product suppliers to develop options for cost-effective and long-lived improvements.

1. Cover Letter

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 2 Customer Service and Responsiveness: We believe the key to delivering a successful project is strong communication from start to finish. We pride ourselves on our prompt replies to City inquiries and proactive engagement. In addition, we plan to have a design workshop and frequent project update meetings with the City to make sure project challenges don't become issues and problems. Erik will have bi-weekly check-in meetings with the City and design team to discuss issues, resolutions, and design progress deliverables.

We look forward to the opportunity to continue supporting the City in improving the infrastructure and quality of life of Ukiah and encourage you to reach out with any questions about our qualifications and the approach we have presented.

This proposal is a firm offer for a minimum period of thirty (30) days after the submittal date and is signed by Matt Kennedy, a GHD official authorized to contractually bind the firm.

Sincerely,
Matt Kennedy, PE, TE, ENV SP Erik Faselau, PE, CFM, LEED AP Project Director Project Manager

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project v → Understanding and
Approach
02

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 3 Street and Airport Park Boulevard. New striping will also be included along with high-visibility crosswalks.

On the west end of the project, the new sidewalk along the south side of Talmage Road will be constructed along the south bank of Doolin Creek. This will require relocating the existing chain link fence on City property approximately 8 feet to the south to provide room for the sidewalk. The creek crossing will occur at the eastern boundary at the Speedway Service Station near the intersection with South State Street. It is anticipated that a used 20 to 40-foot‑long railroad flat car will be used for the bridge, similar to the bridges installed for the Great Redwood Trail creek crossings. These are available locally and have proven to be cost effective. The bridge will be set upon new abutments on each bank of the creek and handrails will be added for safety. Figure 1 shows a concept rendering of this bridge and sidewalk. To offset the in-channel work that will be necessary to construct the bridge, we anticipate that some mitigation measures will be required by resource permitting agencies. Mitigation could take the form of planting oak or other native trees along the bank to shade the creek channel, as shown in the concept rendering. Another
measure could include removal of large trash and debris items from the creek. A limited hydraulic analysis of Doolin Creek will be performed for the new bridge design to make sure the bridge is above the 100-year flood elevation. GHD’s previous hydraulic and floodplain work will be referenced.

2. Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
The Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project consists of
the reconstruction and rehabilitation of approximately
1,660 linear feet (LF) of pavement between Airport Park Boulevard and South State Street, excluding the rail
crossing area that was improved as part of the Great
Redwood Trail. The pavement work will generally consist of an edge grind and asphalt overlay. New curb and gutter may also be needed in select areas as part of the sidewalk infill. In addition, another key goal of this project is to improve pedestrian safety along this route.

Talmage Road is a key corridor in the City as it connects to U.S. 101 and provides access to South State Street and the City core. It is classified in the General Plan as an arterial roadway, intended to move traffic into and through the
City. As a result, this street sees a high volume of vehicle traffic including heavy trucks, which creates a safety issue for bicycles and pedestrians. This is compounded due to the gap in sidewalk on the north side between Cunningham Street and Perry Street and on the south side between
Lewis Lane and the Speedway Service Station. The lack of continuity creates an ADA path of travel compliance and safety issue. We understand the importance of bicycle and pedestrian connectivity to the community. Multi-modal
circulation will be improved with the connection to the Great Redwood Trail and existing routes along South State Figure 1. Concept rendering of new pedestrian bridge
over Doolin Creek and new adjoining sidewalk.

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 4 To cross Doolin Creek along the north side of Talmage
Road near Lewis Lane, it will be necessary to extend the existing box culvert to provide room for the sidewalk. Figure 2 shows a concept rendering of the culvert extension. We anticipate that the box culvert extension will demolish the existing wing walls and require construction of cast-in-place concrete with dowels into the existing structure. As with the bridge construction, GHD will perform a limited hydraulic analysis to confirm hydraulic capacity and the water surface elevation. Doolin Creek is ephemeral, and it’s expected that this construction will be performed during the dry season when there is no flows in the creek. Dewatering, coffer dams and/or bypassing flows should not be necessary. Also,
the existing guardrail along the road will be removed and handrails will be provided along the back of the sidewalk.

The City of Ukiah adopted the Storm Water Low Impact
Development (LID) Technical Design Manual developed
by the City of Santa Rosa and County of Sonoma. This
manual describes the LID triggers and exemptions.

Typically, projects reconstructing or rehabilitating
pavement on arterial roadways trigger the requirement to implement LID stormwater quality improvements, and it is possible that LID stormwater quality enhancements might be needed in this project.

Approach
Our team’s approach is founded not only on our
understanding of the project but on the specific
individuals assigned to this project. Our team is highly qualified in the design and construction of roadway
rehabilitation. We bring the design expertise, local
knowledge, and pavement industry connections that will
result in the most cost-effective design solutions for the City. We are confident that the GHD team will provide the City with the information and recommendations needed to make informed decisions about the design, so the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project is as successful as possible.

In reviewing the project and developing our approach, we have identified the following key design and construction considerations. While this is not an overly complex project, there are some important items to address during design, so environmental and permit approvals are smooth,
and construction proceeds without change orders due
to unforeseen or changed conditions. The successful
completion of this project hinges on the resolution of
these issues. Our team will address these issues using the comprehensive approach described below and within a
schedule that meets the City’s goal of constructing this project during the 2023 construction season.

Addressing Design and Construction
Challenges
We have thoroughly investigated the project and identified key design, construction and operation constraints. These challenges are documented below and will be discussed
and confirmed with the City. Mitigation/resolution options Figure 2. Concept rendering of culvert
extension and new adjoining sidewalk.

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 5 are also identified.

Resource Agency Permitting for Doolin Creek
Crossings
It is our expectation that the two crossing improvements over Doolin Creek will require permits through the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the North Coast
Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB), and
California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW) because the improvements will involve in-channel impacts.

In a preliminary review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), it appears that foothill yellow-legged frog may need to be addressed at the project site. It has been found on other drainages within a mile of the project site. Habitat for this species will be verified during a biological resources site investigation.

Effective environmental impact assessment and permit
acquisition requires a solid basis in science. Our staff of scientists, led by Kristine Gaspar, is recognized for experience and expertise in providing clear and concise habitat assessments, feasible cost-effective mitigation, and efficient navigation of the permit process. GHD’s
approach is to have our scientists involved early in the project, to help identify possible environmental issues and offer feedback on how to minimize impacts through design.

GHD biologists and planners prepared biological reports, relevant regulatory permit applications, and a habitat
mitigation and monitoring approach for Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Great Redwood Trail, both of which involved new pedestrian bridges over Orrs Creek and Doolin Creek. With input from our environmental team, GHD engineers will
minimize impacts to Doolin Creek. This approach will result in productive engagements with the regulatory agencies, and a streamlined permitting process. For this project, GHD scientists will support the City by preparing necessary biological reports to support California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and permit approvals, and we will lead the regulatory permitting efforts.

Bridge Hydraulic Requirements
FEMA has developed a hydraulic model for Doolin Creek,
which shows that the channel and part of Talmage Road
in the project area are in the "regulatory floodway" and in the mapped flood zone. This requires a hydraulic analysis that verifies there will be a "no net rise" in the base flood elevation (BFE) from the new pedestrian bridge and
sidewalk. Our approach is to obtain the existing hydraulic model from FEMA, perform the hydraulic analysis to
determine the bridge and sidewalk elevations that will
result in a "no-net-rise" in the FEMA regulated flood way. If the FEMA model is unavailable we will develop a duplicate effective model using the creek channel survey for the
analysis, which may be a simpler approach. The expected design will involve some widening of the creek channel
and setting the sidewalk at an elevation to maintain the flood elevation in FEMA regulated flood way. A technical memorandum will be provided to the City to be kept on file in the event of a FEMA audit. The hydraulic model will also be used to evaluate the design of the bridge and channel and develop channel scour countermeasures in the
vicinity of the bridge.

Figure 3. FEMA Flood Map
Managing Stormwater and LID Triggers
As described in the RFP, it is possible that the project could require inclusion of LID to treat and attenuate
stormwater runoff from Talmage Road before it enters
Doolin Creek. LID improvements can be expensive.

Our review of the Stormwater LID Technical Design
Manual “Project Triggers” shows that, depending on the
approach, the project could create or replace 10,000
square feet or more of impervious area, which is the
threshold where LID is required. There is about 900 feet of new sidewalk infill required, which amounts to about 4,500 square feet assuming a 5-ft wide sidewalk. The
pavement improvements could be considered a "Routine
Maintenance Activity" and be exempt from the LID
requirements. A "Routine Maintenance Activity" includes overlays, resurfacing, and/or road pavement structural
section rehabilitation (including Full Depth Reclamation (FDR)) of existing roads as well as patching activities.

Replacement of existing pedestrian ramps to maintain
compliance with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Requirements is considered routine maintenance.

With this framework in place, GHD’s approach is to qualify the project as a "Routine Maintenance Activity" by limiting new and replacement impervious area to less than 10,000

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 6 squre feet. This approach would also mean a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is not required, and a Water Pollution Control Plan (WPCP) can be used instead.

Pavement Rehabilitation Options
To meet the LID exemption, pavement rehabilitation
activities down to subgrade should be limited, and
overlays relied upon more heavily. The approach to limiting full-depth reconstruction to specific pavement failure
areas will also help keep the cost of the project down.

From our review of the existing pavement condition,
we observed some failure areas and potholes, most of
which are between the Great Redwood Trail crossing
and State Street. A few failure areas are also present
between Airport Park Boulevard and the Great Redwood
Trail crossing in the eastbound lanes. We believe a good approach is to use targeted dig-out repairs of failure areas and a mill and overlay of the remaining pavement that is still in serviceable condition. Pavement and subgrade
enhancement geotextiles or geogrids could be used in
dig‑out repairs to provide additional strength and lengthen the design life, if desired.

As a part of our proposal, GHD engaged two pavement
and subgrade enhancement product suppliers to assist
us in identifying conceptual pavement rehabilitation
methods that could be implemented to reduce cost and
extend the design life of the road section. We discussed the project with representatives at Pacific GeoSource and at TenCate Geosynthetics. Both companies manufacture,
design, and provide guidance on the proper selection of subgrade and pavement enhancement solutions to reduce
cost and increase the design life of asphalt pavements.

Both companies have assisted in the design of and
provided products on previous Ukiah projects, including the Redwood Business Park Transportation Improvement
project and the Downtown Streetscape Phase 1 project.

Pacific GeoSource is also the supplier of the FORTA-FI
Asphalt Reinforcement Fibers (aramid fibers).

The incorporation of reinforcement systems into flexible pavement leads to stronger and more sustainable roads,
including these benefits:
− Increased Structural Capacity
− Reduced Life-Cycle Costs
− Reduced Maintenance
− Minimized Reflective Cracking
− Extended Pavement Life
− Accelerated Construction Times
We know from our previous design work on Talmage
Road, Airport Park Boulevard, and the Great Redwood
Trail that subgrade soils are alluvial and consist of fine- to course-grained sandy silts, silty clays and clays with some interspersed gravels. Widespread lateral continuity is
expected, but some variability could occur near Doolin
Creek and soils could be moderately expansive due to clay content. Groundwater is typically at least 10 feet deep, but has been observed shallower during the rainy season and near streams. R-values from soil tests performed for the Redwood Business Park Improvements project are
between 57 and 65, and soils are generally considered
non-expansive. The original pavement section on Talmage Road within the Caltrans right of way was 4” Hot MIx
Asphalt (HMA) on 8 inches of cement-treated base (CTB)
and 6 inches of aggregate subbase. The section thickness between Airport Park Boulevard and South State Street
may be the same, but should be confirmed during design.

In developing preliminary pavement rehabilitation options, we considered a 20-year design life, a Traffic Index (TI) between 9.0 and 11.0 and a conservative subgrade R-value of 40. This TI range is generally associated with an arterial street. For reference, the City of Santa Rosa requires a minimum TI of 9.0 for arterial street pavement designs, and a minimum pavement section of 5.4” of HMA over

9.6” of Class 2 Aggregate Base (CL2AB). Santa Rosa also requires an R-value of 5 (weak soils) if R-value testing is not performed. A low R-value can significantly increase the section thickness and construction cost. Using
these parameters, a conventional pavement section is as summarized in the table below.

Traffic Index HMA

Incorporating

repairs can further
strengthen the
subgrade and reduce
the section thickness.

Including pavement interlayers can also be considered and are particularly useful in strengthening existing pavement where the desired improvement is a mill and overlay. A

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 7 cost analysis will be performed to determine whether it’s cost-effective to use these methods in this project
We believe an edge grind, crack-seal and overlay
approach like what was done for the southern portion of Airport Park Boulevard will provide long pavement life and help meet the LID exemption. In the Redwood Business
Transportation Improvements Project, the southern
portion of Airport Park Boulevard was in good condition but was too thin and didn’t meet the expected heavy
vehicle load rating. Rather than reconstruct the pavement section, we designed a special overlay that added the
required strength and mitigated future reflective cracking.

Below is a summary of what was constructed:

1. An 8-foot wide edge grind was performed to the gutter lip and all existing cracks were sealed.

2. Next, a leveling course was placed over the pavement to address any grade corrections needed and achieve
an acceptable cross-slope for drainage.

3. A paving grid was then installed across the entire
roadway to increase the tensile strength of the
pavement and mitigate reflective cracking before a
final overlay was installed.

FORTA-FI Asphalt Reinforcement Fibers (aramid fibers)
were also used in the hot mix design for added tensile
strength. The resulting pavement section achieved a Traffic Index (TI) of 10.5, which is the same as or very similar to the TI for this segment of Talmage Road. This project is an excellent candidate for the same approach. However, prior to the overlay, limited dig-out repairs should be performed to first address the failure areas and potholes. Figure 4 below shows an example of what this type of overlay on
Talmage Road could look like for this project.

Including a paving interlayer in the overlay would help maintain most of the existing pavement that’s still
serviceable, improve the finished condition, and provide a longer life. A paving mat would provide waterproofing, add tensile strength, delay reflective cracking, and extend pavement life. Tencate Geosynthetics and GeoSource
have a lot of options when it comes to paving mats and
paving grids, and we will explore these options and costs with the City during the early design.

While developing our proposal, we asked about the need
for geotechnical engineering for pavement design and
the City requested it be included as an optional service.

For this project, confirming the existing pavement section thickness and the subgrade R-value during design is
important to developing the most cost-effective overlay design for pavement performance and to meet the
LID exemption. Higher actual subgrade R-values and
confirmation of the existing pavement section results in less conservative and lower cost rehabilitation options.

We have included an optional task to perform borings and obtain subgrade soil samples for R-value testing.

Construction Phasing to Minimize Disruption
Talmage Road is an important arterial street connecting the U.S. 101 with Airport Park Boulevard and South State Street, which are key truck delivery routes. As such, it is important that the team be aware of and consider the potential negative impacts transportation disruptions
can have on the movement of people and goods. Ideally,
disruptions of service to businesses around the project area will be minimized by a thoughtful traffic control plan prepared and executed by the contractor. Some public
outreach should be performed to keep the community
informed and aware of the project timing and short-term construction impacts the project will have. We understand that the City will handle the majority of the public
outreach efforts. GHD can provide additional support
for community meetings and other outreach activities in advance of construction, if needed.

The City typically allows construction from approximately 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, with night work upon City approval, if needed. Night work is not anticipated, but could benefit Figure 4. Talmage Road Overlay Example

Effective Communication
Communication throughout the design process is key to
meeting the desired project goals. With this in mind, we have allowed adequate effort for review meetings, coordination with the City’s project manager, and coordination with the City’s street and drainage maintenance team. Input from the department responsible for maintenance of streets is very important for the design team so the project minimizes maintenance requirements and addresses lessons learned
on previous projects.

GHD will meet with City staff to obtain review comments following each submittal, as well as in biweekly status calls. These meetings will be tailored to the needs of City staff. We will place a priority on making these meetings as efficient as possible to be sensitive to the demanding schedules of City personnel. GHD will prepare meeting
agendas and meeting minutes for the City.

Survey and Mapping
One of the most critical aspects of a project is developing an accurate base map for design and doing so in an
efficient, accurate and cost-effective manner. For this project, we propose a unique approach to surveying
and base map development that rapidly and accurately
collects survey data for the entire corridor. Our innovative the project similar to what was done on the Redwood
Business Park project. Traffic control plans will be
required by the contractor following California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requirements
to maximize the efficiency of construction means and
methods, while minimizing disruptions to the local
businesses and residents.

Design Development
GHD proposes to conduct a preliminary design workshop
as part of the kick-off meeting, followed by a site visit with City staff. The entire meeting and site visit would last about 3 hours. We find that having a preliminary design workshop and site visit at the start of the project provides a great opportunity for early collaboration and sharing of ideas and innovations. It increases the design team’s efficiency because we will have clear direction on how to approach key elements. It is an effective way of getting the project off to a running start, contributing to delivery efficiency.

We will also prepare a basis of design (BOD) technical
memorandum with the 30% design submittal to document
the project design criteria, applicable standards,
staging area considerations, suggested traffic handling and detours, and suggested construction sequencing.

The BOD will include discussion items from the design
workshop and confirm the design approach and permitting strategy. It will also serve as an important guide to the design team, and a reference document for both the City and design team throughout the project.

Following the City’s approval of the 30% design, GHD will commence with 60% design. Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates (PS&E) will be prepared and submitted to City review at 30%, 60% and 90%, with the 90% design being
essentially complete. Any remaining minor comments
on the 90% design would be addressed in the final PS&E
issued for bidding.

GHD has prepared the anticipated sheet index below.

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 9 survey approach was developed by our Principal-inCharge, Matt Kennedy and has been used successfully on several projects, saving clients hundreds of thousands of dollars. It leverages GHD’s vehicle-mounted LiDAR
mapping system for very rapid point cloud collection on active roadways with no traffic control needed. The LiDAR scanning is supplemented with traditional survey methods to establish survey control, tie in benchmarks and
boundaries, and map utilities. The vehicle-mounted LiDAR system produces higher precision and more accurate
surveys than air-based drone LiDAR surveys, because
the precision of air-based systems diminishes with
increasing laser return distance. Vehicle-mounted LiDAR mapping is also significantly more accurate than the
aerial photogrammatic image-based methods being
used by the consultant designing the Gobbi Street
improvements. An example image of a 3D LiDAR survey
is shown in Figure 6 below. Key advantages of our unique survey approach include:
− Safety: LiDAR scanning keeps field personal out of
active traffic. Mobile scanning is completed without
traffic control or road closures. For safety, a light bar and sign on the vehicle indicates a mobile scan is in
progress, and the scanning can be done at night when
traffic is minimal.
− Speed: Complete coverage of the entire roadway with
only two passes, one for each direction. With a typical survey vehicle speed between 10-20 mph, the entire
Talmage Road corridor can be scanned in less than
20 minutes.
− Accuracy/Precision: Scans 700,000 georeferenced
points/second at sub-centimeter accuracy within
the roadway corridor area and up to 2 centimeters
at a distance of 100 meters. Post-processing the
point cloud against survey control efficiently extracts all 3D topographic features. The camera captures
seamless photos simultaneously with the LiDAR scan
for a high definition photo reference. All surface
features are precisely mapped using this imagery.
− Extremely Cost-Effective: The cost for us to capture
and process the LiDAR data and deliver planimetric
surfaces for Talmage Road is only $8,000. Most of
this cost is in mobilization. With the supplemental
survey, the entire survey cost for the corridor is only Figure 5. Truck-mounted LiDAR Scan Equipment

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 10 about $23,400. Using traditional survey methods, it
would cost over $40,000 to survey Talmage Road and
develop mapping. We are also providing a proposal on
the Main Street Utilities Improvement project, and if
we were selected for both project, the cost to perform
the LiDAR surveys and deliver planimetric surfaces for
both projects would be only about $9,500.

Effective Project Management
Effective project management begins with effective
communication between the project manager and the
project team, as well as between the project manager
and City staff. Positive working relationships and effective project management are what lead to successful project
delivery. We place high value on our relationships with City staff and are proud of our track record of successful project delivery. GHD’s formal standardized and proven
project management procedures and protocols result in
effective management and execution of our projects.

GHD is committed to sustainable development, safety,
and innovation. GHD operates under the Practice
Quality Management System, ISO 9001:2015 and an
Environmental Management System, ISO 14001:2015, both
third-party certified. Our Project Manager, Erik Fanselau, will provide overall project management and maintain
effective communication with the City’s project staff
throughout the duration of the project.

Our Project Director, Matt Kennedy, our QA/QC Manager,
Pat Tortora, and our Project Manager, Erik Fanselau have all completed several road reconstruction/rehabilitation projects and pedestrian bridge projects, have an
excellent working relationship, are well-versed in the
City’s standards and procedures, and have a thorough
understanding of the existing conditions.

Financial Responsibility
Effective cost control begins with confirmation of the
total scope of work, establishing a realistic schedule for project implementation, and preparation of an accurate
and appropriate budget. Our draft baseline schedule for the project is included after the Scope of Work. All of the tasks are integrally linked with the scope of work tasks and budget and move forward in coordination as the project
progresses. The proposed schedule includes realistic time lines for all project tasks including meetings and milestone deliverables. Budgets are agreed to by all team members in advance, and tracked and managed as work progresses.

If selected for this project we will work with the City to confirm the baseline schedule to ensure each task deadline is met. The Project Manager, Matt Kennedy, will implement corrective actions, if needed, and ensure the budget is not exceeded, take responsibility if overages occur, and inform the City if unforeseen circumstances arise.

QA/QC Plan for the Project
GHD is guided by proven Practice Quality Management
System ISO 9001:2015 and an Environmental Management
System ISO14001:2015, as noted above. GHD has a
time tested and proven Project Quality Manual (PQM)
used for every project. The PQM describes the project
quality process that we follow during the development
of design documents, studies, reports, and other project deliverables. Pat Tortora will develop a Project Quality Plan (PQP) for this project, to be used by the design team.

The process starts when the project begins and ends with the completion of the final project approvals.

Design Quality Control (QC) reviews are managed by the
Quality Manager who, along with the Project Manager, are ultimately responsible for delivering quality work products to the City. Reviews are conducted to verify that project deliverables and supporting documents are complete
and understandable, conform to appropriate standards
and guidance, and meet GHD’s and City requirements and
expectations. The Quality Manager makes sure the team
adheres to the PQP, and that QA and QC review activities occur at the appropriate intervals. Quality management
activities include:
− Design reviews performed by exceptionally talented
staff who are independent of the design team and
committed to the highest levels of quality.
− Verifying the design team is checking work products
to confirm quality and documenting that prior review
comments have been addressed.
− Performing independent technical reviews of all
work products prior to submittal to the City or other
approving agencies.

Quality Control includes verifying one or more of the
following: basic design data and information, technical assumptions used in the design of the project, use of
proper formats, compliance with requirements, and
calculation methods and/or numerical accuracy. The PQP
includes seven standard steps:

1. Project Concept Review

2. Discipline Review

3. Graphics/CAD Standard Review

4. Project Manager Review

5. City Comment Review

6. Coordination Review Meeting

7. Design QA/QC Review

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 11 Design QC reviews performed at the discipline level
include peer checks of calculations and general overviews of technical assumptions.

Scope of Services
We are pleased to provide the City with our proposed
Scope of Services below for the Design of the Talmage
Road Rehabilitation Project.

Task 1 – Project Management
This task is for overall project management, subconsultant management, team coordination, progress meetings,
project administration, Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) and Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA)
health and safety, and related items. It also includes
budget and schedule tracking, project and contract
oversight, QA/QC, and project invoicing over an estimated nine month duration. GHD will provide effective project management throughout the design and environmental
permitting process so that quality documents are
prepared on time and within budget.

The following summarizes our project management
activities:
− Project coordination with the City and project
team. Coordination will include bi-weekly check‑in
calls and monthly design progress conference
meetings to communicate key project issues, which
may develop during design. GHD’s Project Manager will
also prepare a Project Work Plan, which communicates
the project scope, schedule, budget, and other
information to team members.
− Project Kickoff Meeting. GHD’s Project Manager
and Project Director will organize and attend a project kickoff meeting at the City’s Public Works Conference
Room, or online if preferred, to review the details
and requirements of the project. A key component
of the kickoff meeting is a design workshop where
the City and GHD can review key project elements
described in our Project Understanding and Project
Approach sections and confirm the City’s preferences.

The design workshop is an opportunity to discuss
design requirements, historical street and drainage
maintenance issues, long term maintenance goals,
materials, and appurtenances. We will also cover key
issues including, pavement rehabilitation options,
Doolin Creek crossings, bridge aesthetics, permitting
strategy, and other issues. Our goal with the workshop
is to have a clear path forward on the primary design
with options as necessary.
− Project progress. GHD's Project Manager will evaluate and track progress on scope, schedule, and budget;
and prepare monthly project activity reports to be
provided with each of our monthly invoices. These
reports will provide the City with a brief description of the activities completed during the previous month
and activities anticipated for the next month. At the
completion of project, Consultant/City evaluation
forms will be submitted upon City’s request for
performance review.
− Project Quality. The quality manager will develop
a PQP documenting the QA and QC process to be
followed for the project. This task includes periodic
design checks, QA/QC reviews, quality review
meetings, reviews of subconsultant deliverables, and
quality process documentation.

Task 1 Deliverables:
− Meeting agenda and associated meeting minutes
(electronic PDF)
− Monthly invoices and progress reports (electronic PDF) − Consultant/City evaluations (electronic PDF)
− PQP (electronic PDF)
Task 2 – LiDAR and Topographic Mapping
GHD will provide land surveying and right-of-way services.

Task 2.1 – LiDAR Scanning and Mapping
Following Notice to Proceed (NTP), GHD’s spatial sciences team will work directly with our project land surveyor to perform a LiDAR scan of the entire roadway corridor. This task involves setting/painting reflective survey markers at key locations along Talmage Road, which are digitally scanned during the LiDAR mapping process and used
to bring the LiDAR model into the real world horizontal coordinate system and vertical datum. The LiDAR scan
will be performed using a standard passenger vehicle
or pick‑up truck. The vehicle will drive at a speed of
10‑20 mph. For safety, a light bar and sign on the vehicle indicates a mobile scan is in progress, and the scanning can be done at night when traffic is minimal, if needed.

Following completion of the scan, the spatial sciences
team will post-process the LiDAR point data and develop the mapping. This process involves omitting unnecessary points, adding linework for edge of pavement, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, trees, signs, utilities, and other roadway features. The imagery collected with the scan can also
be used to map pavement condition issues which will be
identified for rehabilitation during design.

Task 2.2 – Supplemental Field Topographic Survey
Concurrent with the LiDAR mapping development, GHD
will establish local survey control based on nearby street

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 12 monuments and benchmarks. Topographic survey will be
provided on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD88), and the topographic map will horizontally relate to the California State Plane Coordinate System of 1983 (SPCS83), Zone II. After the reflective survey markers are placed for the LiDAR scanning, our surveyor will establish the project control network and set control points on the reflective survey markers, which will then be used to tie in the LiDAR mapping to the coordinate system.

Following survey control, a limited supplemental field
survey will be performed to verify elevations of sidewalk connections, tree species and sizes, key utility depths, and other important features. We will also obtain additional topographic data and cross-sections of Doolin Creek
where the LiDAR scanner may not reach to confirm we
have the channel bathymetry data needed for the bridge
and culvert hydraulic analysis and design.

The topographic survey will include the following:
− Complete survey of Talmage Road from Airport Park
Boulevard to South State Street
− The general width of the survey will be from
right‑of‑way (R/W) boundary to R/W boundary
including back of sidewalk and beyond R/W where
necessary to tie in improvements and address drainage
requirements. Mapping will extend a minimum of
five feet beyond the back of sidewalk or twenty feet
beyond the curb returns.
− For both the bridge crossing and culvert extension,
additional survey will be performed for the Doolin
Creek channel for the design as well as the hydraulic
analysis of the channel section.
− Existing public utilities and evidence of utility services, such as water meters and sewer cleanouts, will be
mapped if easily locatable outside the general width of the survey described above.
− Topographic survey will include all necessary work to produce a topographic map, including features such as,
but not limited to, building corners and elevations, curb and gutter lines, water meters, sewer cleanouts, valves, manholes (including rim, invert, and pipe information), utility markings on the pavement, utility poles, driveway and doorway locations, sidewalks, trees six (6) inches
and larger, retaining walls or decorative walls, and any other pertinent information that could apply to the
project during design.

Task 2.3 – Mapping Development
Following field survey, we will prepare the base
topographic mapping necessary for the design of the
project. All mapping will be prepared at a drawing scale of 1 inch = 20 feet with a one-foot contour interval, unless otherwise requested or required for design details.

Task 2 Deliverables
− Sealed hardcopy of Topographic Survey Map with the
project right of way (PDF).
− The AutoCAD Civil 3D file used to create the hardcopy will also be provided for your convenience (DWG).

Task 3 – Geotechnical Investigation
(Crawford and Associates)
A geotechnical investigation is included in the base scope of work for the structural foundation recommendations
for the pedestrian bridge and culvert extension for Doolin Creek. We have included an optional task at the end of the Scope of Services for recommended pavement cores and
testing of subgrade soils to confirm the existing pavement structural section and the design R-value for pavement
rehabilitation. The geotechnical investigation will be
performed by Crawford and Associates, Inc. (CAInc.)
Task 3.1 - Coordination and Preliminary Review
CAInc will coordinate with the design team and the City to discuss preliminary design plans, proposed boring
locations, project design needs, goals, and the schedule.

Following NTP, CAInc will:
− Obtain a City of Ukiah encroachment permit
− Visit the site to mark-out boring locations for USA
North 811
− Obtain a Count of Mendocino boring permit, if boring
depth requires
− Coordinate the drilling and traffic control
subcontractors
Task 3.2 - Subsurface Exploration
For the railcar bridge, CAInc proposed two borings, one on each bank, to provide data and recommendations for
the structural foundation design of the abutments, and for the subgrade preparation and design of the box culvert
extension.

The CAInc. Engineer/Geologist will direct the sampling
and log the borings, which will be sampled continuously in the upper 5 feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter.

Standard Penetration Test and modified California
samples will be driven to obtain samples and blow count information. In addition, bulk samples will be collected in the upper 2 feet of subgrade. Traffic control will be implemented in accordance with the City encroachment
permit requirements.

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 13 Task 3.3 - Laboratory Testing
CAInc proposes to perform the following tests (as
appropriate) on representative soil samples obtained from the borings:
− Moisture Content and Unit Weight for soil classification and bearing capacity
− Unconfined Compression and/or Direct Shear for axial
and lateral bearing capacity
− Sieve Analysis and Plasticity Index for soil classification, bearing capacity, and liquefaction assessment
− Resistivity, pH, Sulfate Content, and Chloride Content for soil corrosivity analysis
Task 3.4 – Engineering Analysis and Report
CAInc will prepare a Geotechnical Report addressing the following elements:
− Project description, scope of work, site description
− Subsurface exploration
− Soil and groundwater conditions
− Field and laboratory testing
− Site geology and seismicity summary
− CBC seismic design parameters
− Corrosion evaluation
− Grading and construction recommendations, which
may include ground preparation, materials excavation,
placement, and compaction
− Rail car bridge and box culvert foundation
recommendations including scour considerations,
foundation recommendations (i.e. bearing capacity,
settlement, lateral resistance, and coefficient of friction to resist sliding, etc.)
− Construction considerations
− Location map, boring logs, and laboratory test results A Draft Geotechnical Report will be prepared for
submission with the 30% design submittal. Comments on
the Draft Geotechnical Report will be addressed and a
Final Geotechnical Report will be included with the 60% design submittal.

Task 3.5 – Consultation and Design Team Support
CAInc will provide consultations regarding geotechnical recommendations to the design team, as needed.

They will also provide a review of the project plans and specifications, provide comments and issue a letter stating the design is in general conformance with the geotechnical recommendations.

Task 3 Deliverables
− Draft Geotechnical Report (PDF)
− Final Geotechnical Report (PDF)
Task 4 – Preliminary Design (30%)
The preliminary design effort includes site visits, utility owner coordination, development of a BOD Technical
Memorandum, plans, and a construction estimate. This
submittal provides an early review of the project design and opportunity for key decisions and coordination.

Task 4.1 Site Visits and Information Review
GHD will conduct a detailed field visit of the project site following completion of the topographic mapping. The
purpose of the field visit is to review, refine and confirm the mapping; verify existing conditions; and identify
constructability issues. The project team will take
additional detailed notes and photos as needed for later use during project design.

Although this project does not involve any utility
improvements, identifying and mapping existing utilities is important to make sure potential conflicts with existing utilities are avoided with the design. The engineering team will also obtain and review existing utility mapping from the City, PG&E, AT&T, and Cablecom. Mapping may be
requested through the City to avoid costs charged by
these companies to private consultants. Utilities that were not identified during the field survey will be added to the base map. The effort will identify and resolve potential conflicts during Preliminary Design (Task 4). GHD will
update the base map with the new utility information
following each subtask for inclusion in the design.

Task 4.2 Doolin Creek Hydraulic Analysis
GHD's hydraulic engineering team will obtain the existing hydraulic model for Doolin Creek from FEMA and perform
a hydraulic analysis to determine the bridge and sidewalk elevations that will result in a "no-net-rise" in the FEMA regulated flood way. If the FEMA model is unavailable we will develop a duplicate effective model using the creek channel survey for the analysis. The expected design
will involve widening the creek channel and setting the sidewalk elevation to maintain the flood elevation in FEMA regulated flood way. A technical memorandum will be
prepared summarizing the analysis results demonstrating a no-net-rise. The hydraulic model will also be used to evaluate the design of the bridge and channel and develop

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 14 channel scour countermeasures in the vicinity of the
bridge.

Task 4.3 Prepare Basis of Design (BOD) Technical
Memorandum
The purpose of this task is to establish the design basis, confirm design criteria and capture the recommendations and City directions from the design workshop. GHD
will assess the design criteria and City’s requirements, including applicable standards, and summarize pavement
rehabilitation recommendations with planning level costs.

We will coordinate with geotextile suppliers and the
geotechnical engineer, as needed, to develop pavement
design solutions to achieve the City’s long-term goals as cost-effectively as possible. GHD will prepare a technical memorandum (TM) including the following:
− Bridge design and culvert extension: The new
pedestrian bridge and culvert extension geometry will
be discussed along with a summary of the hydraulic
analysis results and recommendations for designs.

This includes the proposed length for the bridge as it
relates to the channel crossing and abutment locations, and the design of the culvert extension including
its connection to the existing culvert, as well as
accommodating a sidewalk and hand railings.
− Pavement rehabilitation options: GHD will summarize
pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction options
with planning level costs for comparison purposes.
− Staging area(s): During the site walk, GHD will discuss potential contractor staging areas with the City.

Potential staging areas can be noted and/or described
in the contract documents.
− Construction traffic management: Traffic control
plans will be provided by the Contractor, and
requirements may include advanced warning devices,
signage, notifications, work time restrictions, and
needed personnel (i.e., flaggers). These requirements
will be included in the specifications in later submittals. − Construction schedule: GHD will review the likely
sequence of construction activities, with assumptions
for nighttime construction of work, limited hours
working in highly trafficked areas, and potential for
multiple work crews in order to estimate the number of
construction working days. The estimated number of
working days will be refined during development of the
subsequent submittals.

The BOD TM will be included with the 30% submittal for
City comments. The TM will be revised and finalized and included with the 60% submittal.

Task 4.4 Prepare 30% Plans and Construction Estimate
Plans will be based on surveyed information and mapping developed in Task 2, as well as the draft geotechnical
recommendations developed in Task 3, and will depict the proposed alignments, typical cross sections, layouts of sidewalks and curb ramps, preliminary bridge and culvert designs, and other improvements. Geotechnical boring
locations and boring logs will be included with the plans.

Preliminary demolition and pavement improvements will
also be depicted. Profiles of the existing ground surface along the alignment will be included. Plans will be based on surveyed information provided obtained under Task 2, and prepared at a scale of 1 inch=20 feet on 22" x 34" sheets using the GHD standard title block.

The opinion of probable construction cost will be
Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering
(AACE) International Recommended Practice 56R-08
estimate class 4/3 and organized in a bid schedule format with unit prices based on previous bid results for prevailing wage projects and similar work. Specialty construction
will be evaluated on labor, materials and equipment.

Contractor overhead and profit, markups and estimates of soft costs will be included. Escalation to estimated time of construction will be included.

The 30% design will be submitted to the City, and following City review, we will attend a design review meeting to
discuss City comments and request approval to proceed
with the 60% design.

Task 4 Deliverables:
− Doolin Creek Hydraulic Analysis Technical
Memorandum (electronic PDF)
− Draft Basis of Design Technical Memorandum

− 30% Full-size (22”x34”) Drawings (electronic PDF)
− Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (electronic PDF) Task 5 – Intermediate Design (60%)
Following the preliminary design (30%) review meeting,
GHD will prepare 60% PS&E using the project information prepared and addressing 30% design comments. The
60% design will depict the final alignment, recommended profile, cross sections, and details.

Task 5.1 Prepare 60% PS&E
Plans will be updated to address City comments on the
30% design, incorporate utility mapping not previously
received, and will depict the proposed road alignment and profile. The plans will show geotechnical boring locations, bridge and culvert layouts, mitigation requirements,

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 15 such as trees or debris removal, sidewalks, driveway
and curb ramp details, and other design details as well as applicable City Standard details. Typical sections will be further developed, and details for pavement repairs, edge and conform grinds and overlays will be included.

Cross sections will be developed every 50 feet and at
key locations, including cross sections and details for the pedestrian bridge and culvert extension. Proposed

Task 8 Geotechnical Pavement Investigation and
Recommendations
As an optional task, GHD’s geotechnical engineering
subconsultant CAInc will perform the following additional services to confirm the existing pavement section
thickness and composition and determine the R-value of
the subgrade soils for the purpose of providing pavement rehabilitation recommendations that more accurately
reflect the existing pavement conditions.

Task 8.1 – Subsurface Exploration
For pavement design recommendations, CAInc proposes
four shallow borings/cores within Talmage Road at
locations to be determined in coordination with the
City and GHD. Cores would extend up to 5-feet below
ground surface. The CAInc Engineer/Geologist will direct the sampling and log the borings, which will be sampled continuously in the upper 5 feet. Bulk samples will be
collected in the upper 2 feet of subgrade. Traffic control will be implemented as described in Task 3.

Task 8.2 – Laboratory Testing
CAInc will determine the R-value for the subgrade and
provide a recommended R-value or range for design. Soils will also be tested for:
− Moisture Content and Unit Weight for soil classification and bearing capacity

The firm has access to reports, log of test borings, and soils information for these projects.

For the past 20 and more years, Principals at Crawford
have specialized in pavement rehabilitation projects
and have stayed involved in the development and
implementation of alternative pavement rehabilitation
strategies. Advancement in pavement emulsions and
the desire to recycle more pavement have led to seismic shifts in the pavement rehabilitation industry. When CAInc approaches a pavement project, staff combine their soils engineering knowledge with their pavement experience
to develop a solution that meets more than just the
desire traffic index for the project. They typically provide five to six rehabilitation options for each project to help clients better understand the schedule, cost, noise, and expected design life implications. This approach allows clients to make decisions that better suit the project
needs. Following field work and as-built review, CAInc
typically provides recommendations for a combination of the following rehabilitation techniques:
− Traditional Mill and Overlay
− New pavement section recommendations (including
deep lift HMA)
− Cold In-Place HMA recycling
− Cold Central Plant HMA recycling
− FDR
− Cold Foam Recycling
− Lime and Cement Treatments
− Slurry and/or other seals
− Roller Compacted Concrete and other concrete options

Summary of Relevant Road Rehabilitation Experience

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 31 The challenge
A significant chapter in the successful evolution of Ukiah's downtown, the Downtown Streetscape and Road Diet project has become a critical part of Ukiah's urban fabric and image, and a catalyst for growth in the area. The intent of the road diet improvements was to transform the existing four-lane State Street cross section into a three-lane cross section with one travel lane in each direction and a Two-Way Left-Turn (TWLT) lane in the center and parallel parking on both sides of the street. The TWLT lanes transition to left turn pockets at intersections. The project also replaced all water and sewer utilities in coordination with a power and telecommunication undergrounding project.

Our response
The project included the design of new streetscape and utility improvements along State Street from Mill Street to Henry Street, approximately nine city blocks. The project also included improvements on Perkins Street and Standley Street from School Street to Main Street.

Specific components of the project included sidewalk widening and construction of curb ramps and bulb outs for ADA compliance and pedestrian safety, relocation of drain inlets and pipes, construction of LID stormwater enhancement features, installation of new street lights, and installation of street sidewalk furniture. New traffic signal controllers were installed at Mill Street, Perkins Street, and Standley Street.

Ukiah Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet and
Utilities Project, Phase 1
Ukiah, California

This project has
become a critical
part of Ukiah's urban
fabric and image and a
catalyst for growth in
the area.

Sidewalk improvements, ranging from 8 feet to 15 feet,
were designed to ADA accessible standards and included
bulb-outs with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) and stamped asphalt at each street intersection, intended to enhance pedestrian safety. New sidewalks, driveways
and ramp improvements conform to existing private
improvements at the public right of way or building faces.

The widened sidewalks include new planter areas, street trees, tree grates, street furnishings (benches, recycling and trash containers, bicycle racks, signage, bollards, street lights, etc.). Along Perkins Street and Standley Street, outdoor restaurant and café seating has been enhanced with the widening of sidewalks.

The road diet portion was designed to maintain and enhance the State Street corridor vehicular capacity, reduce
intersection congestion by providing center turn pockets that allow left turning vehicles to move out of the main flow of traffic, enhance pedestrian visibility and safety, and provide space for streetscape and pedestrian improvements.

Utility improvements on State Street included approximately 2,700 lineal feet of new, 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer line, complete with new manholes, service laterals and cleanouts, and approximately 2,700 lineal feet of new 12-inch PVC water main line, complete with new water valves, fire hydrants, and water service lines with meter boxes.
"Ukiah's new downtown streetscape project
looks amazing! Wider sidewalks and ADA

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 33 Ukiah Downtown Streetscape and Utility Project
Phase 2, Ukiah, California
The challenge
Continuing the growth and revitalization of Downtown Ukiah, Phase 2 of the Ukiah Downtown Streetscape project includes the sections of State Street that bookend Phase 1. The project combines three separate components: Downtown Streetscape, Rule 20 Undergrounding, and water and sewer utility replacement.

Though this project's schedule is not as aggressive as in the previous phase, it has similar challenges including the potential for abandoned, former heating oil tanks (Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)) within the project limits, identifying the existing geometry of the utilities, addressing issues and constraints, and different design strategies for the pavement rehabilitation.

Our response
GHD's team is providing professional engineering services for the construction of the improvements including civil, survey, LID, electrical, utility coordination and design, traffic, landscape architecture, right of way, geotechnical, environmental compliance, and hazardous materials. While continuing the streetscape designs vetted as part of Phase 1, we will also explore different design elements that may not have fit in Phase 1, but could possibly be incorporated into this phase. GHD is leveraging the experience and knowledge gained in Phase 1 to address the similar challenges in Phase 2.

Project outcome
This project will create the northern and southern gateways into the heart of Downtown Ukiah and continue the revitalization and growth that Phase 1 began.

The project was recognized by ACEC
and ASCE with numerous awards for
client service and design innovation.

The challenge
The project involved the design of roadway improvements in the Redwood Business Park commercial business and retail area of the City, and is related to planned development of the business park and the environmental requirement to improve the roadways and intersections that serve the area before allowing further large commercial development. The purpose of the project is to repair a large section of failed asphalt concrete pavement, widen roadways to accommodate increases in traffic, and improve pedestrian accessibility and shared bicycle facilities. A major element of the project is the design of the new pavement for Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road. The project reconstructed approximately 2,300 feet of failed pavement, as well as 1,500 feet of pavement overlay to accommodate planned heavy truck traffic. A key challenge was to accommodate existing shallow utilities while still achieving the design traffic loading.

Our response
GHD was competitively selected for the planning and design of this award‑winning transportation improvement project in the City of Ukiah. GHD worked closely with subgrade and pavement fabric manufacturers to design a pavement section of reduced thickness compared with a traditional design that improved subgrade bearing capacity, while also increasing the design life of the pavement. To improve pavement tensile strength and longevity the project used a high strength aramid (Kevlar©) fiber reinforcement in the HMA mix design. Other elements of the project included new ADA compliant sidewalks and pedestrian ramps, modified and new traffic signals with video detection, the Redwood Business Park Transportation

addition of turn lanes and changes in roadway geometry
to efficiently handle higher volumes of traffic and larger vehicles, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements
consistent with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.

To improve stormwater quality and volume capture, the
project constructed an innovative system utilizing Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA) as the permeable material in
subgrade bioretention cells located behind existing curb and gutter along the roadway corridor. The use of TDA in this project also diverted approximately 35,000 used tires from California landfills. The approach to the bioretention system design maintained and protected nearly all existing trees and landscaping in the Redwood Business Park.

The project also used 100% recycled Class 2 Aggregate
Base (CL2AB) made from demolished Portland cement
concrete roadway panels previously salvaged by Caltrans from a project that repaired sections of U.S. 101 in the Ukiah area. A portable processing plant was set up at
the Contractor’s staging area to process the concrete
panels into CL2AB and deliver the material directly to the project. Over 11,000 cubic yards of recycled CL2AB was
incorporated into the project, significantly reducing the use of virgin mined aggregate.

The project is integrally related to the adjacent Talmage Road Interchange project, which reconstructed the
northbound U.S. 101 on- and off-ramp system. Roadway
widening improvements required coordination with
resource agencies for wetland mitigation and right-of-way encroachments.

(The Great Redwood Trail) | Ukiah, CA
Challenge
While most of the right of way is owned by the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA), the Northwestern Pacific Railroad Company (NWPRR) serves as the contract operator. Together, the two entities share responsibility for the safety, operation, and maintenance of the railroad segment. Since the NCRA, NWPRR, and the City of Ukiah have a vested interest in this project, it became critical for GHD to understand the needs of each stakeholder.

Our response
GHD served as Prime Engineer providing a full suite of environmental, engineering, and permitting services (as well as SWPPP preparation), for a Class 1, ADA-accessible, non-motorized trail along one mile of the NCRA Railroad Corridor between Gobbi Street and Clara Avenue in the City of Ukiah. This is the first Rail-with-Trail (RWT) project to be designed and constructed in NCRA right of way in Mendocino County.

Regarding the SWPPP, GHD prepared a site-specific assessment to determine risk level, which is a function of the erosive potential of the soil and receiving water body risk during periods of soil exposure. Risk Level 2 would require sampling of stormwater for pH and sediment, and significantly more effort than a Risk Level 1 site. Risk level 3 sites may require Bioassessment studies of the receiving water body, and active stormwater treatment systems. GHD determined Phase 1 to be Risk Level 2. We then prepared the SWPPP document as required for the calculated risk level, which featured site maps and water pollution control drawings, a construction site visual monitoring program, a sampling and analysis plan for non-visible pollutants, a sampling and analysis Client

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 38 Terra Linda Sewer and Water Replacement (with
Roadway Reconstruction), Phase 1
Santa Rosa, California
The challenge
The water mains on Terra Linda Drive had been identified as fire flow deficient.

Placed in 1961, the Asbestos-Cement (AC) sewer mains have experienced previous inflow and infiltration issues during rain events. The water and sewer pipelines on Tera Linda Court are the same age and material. For cost effectiveness, the City wanted to replace all the water mains and sewer pipelines at the same time.

The project involved the replacement of approximately 1,600 LF of water main and 1,500 LF of sewer pipelines on Terra Linda Drive and Terra Linda Court. GHD designed new upsized 10-inch water and 8-inch sewer PVC C900 pipelines in order to meet the fire flows, correct sub-standard slopes, and maximize utility separation where possible. Additional design items included eight manholes, four hydrants and associated water/sewer lateral, cleanout and meters. The project also included 53,000 SF of full pavement restoration along Terra Linda Drive and Terra Court, and curb and gutter repairs.

Key issues for this project included confirming the pipeline alignments and profiles, reconnecting laterals and meters with minimal disruption to the residents while maintaining access to the appurtenances, maintaining minimum 10-foot separation between the sewer and water main where feasible, and landscaping restoration work.

Our response
During the pre-design phase, GHD prepared a technical
memorandum and conceptual drawings with the proposed
alignments for the sewer and water main. Based on City
feedback and a design review workshop, the alignments
were revised for the 40% submittal and prepared with
sufficient detail, that the City allowed GHD to skip the 65% submittal, and proceed straight to 90% design. The
90% design included full plan and profiles for the sewer and water main alignments, incorporating the 10-foot
separation where possible, and including a water main
design that allows the existing main to remain in service, while the new main was being constructed. The 90% design also included cross sections every 25 feet for the full pavement restoration in hilly terrain. The fire hydrants also included a small retaining wall around them to hold back the soil in sloped areas.

Project outcome
The project was completed in December 2021 on schedule
and within budget. Frequent communication with the City allowed the design to meet their expectations regarding alignment, connections, and paving.

GHD Clity of Ukiah    Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project 40 The challenge
The existing roadway was over-designed as a 6-lane arterial street with a center two-way left-turn lane. As a result, pedestrian safety is an issue due to long crossing distances, and vehicles often straddle lanes. There are also frequent accidents because the road is so wide vehicles meander and travel at speeds above the posted speed limit. The Guam Department of Public Works wants to improve safety along the corridor and enhance multi-modal transportation features to make it more bicycle and pedestrian friendly.

Our response
This project resurfaced and restored the major arterial roadway, Route 14 (Chalan San Antonio), from south of Route 1 (South Marine Corps Drive) north to and including the Archbishop Felixberto Flores traffic circle, and made improvements to vehicular safety and pedestrian and bicycle mobility. GHD's design included a “road diet,” achieved by narrowing the existing roadway and reducing the number of travel lanes from two to three lanes in each direction to two lanes in each direction with center left turn pockets and TWLT lanes. The project included new raised medians, new pedestrian crossings, new signing and pavement markings, new and modified drainage inlets, new wider sidewalks and ADA compliant curb ramps, new driveway curb cuts, and striped bike lanes. The existing Archbishop Felixberto Flores traffic circle was also modified and reconstructed and addressed pavement failures within the context of a 2R project, and improved safety and operations by incorporating elements of modern roundabout design standards as much as practical without modifying the existing inscribed circle.

– Stormwater and LID design
– Hydraulic and flood analysis
– Bridge structural design
Description: GHD was retained by Rau and Associates to
perform stormwater and LID design, hydraulic and flood
analysis of Gibson Creek, and bridge structural design
for the redevelopment of the 11-acre Railroad Center
Property for commercial/business uses and associated
roadway, utility and stormwater infrastructure. The land is owned by the NCRA and NWPRR, a subsidiary of Union
Pacific Railroad. The site is generally bounded by East Perkins Street to the North, Leslie Street to the East, a residential neighborhood to the south, and the NWPRR
tracks to the west. Relevant elements of the project
include the extension of Hospital Drive south across
Gibson Creek and into the site as Courthouse Drive, a
new bridge over Gibson Creek, the extension of East Clay Street east across the railroad tracks and into the site, underground utilities, storm water management facilities, LID features, and related improvements. The connection
of East Clay Street to Peach Street at Leslie Street is a planned future improvement. The new courthouse
building and other commercial/business buildings are
proposed to be constructed as a future project. The City of Ukiah was a party of interest whose role was to assist with this redevelopment project because of its potential to positively impact downtown Ukiah.

GHD performed a HEC-RAS hydraulic analysis of Gibson
Creek for existing conditions and for the proposed
project site. This analysis was used to determine
feasible site improvements within the 100-year flood
plain and floodway, and for an application to FEMA for
floodplain revisions required to facilitate proposed site improvements. Efforts included preparing and submitting an application to FEMA for floodplain mapping revisions, and additional FEMA coordination.

GHD designed all the drainage systems and LID
improvements for the site, including preparing all hydraulic and water quality calculations, as well as a technical
memorandum meeting requirements for the Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and hydraulic design documentation for the Ukiah Courthouse Site
and Roadway Improvements (Project) as required by the
City of Santa Rosa and County of Sonoma Storm Water
Low Impact Development Technical Design Manual. GHD
designed the traffic signal improvements for the extension of Hospital Drive across East Perkins Street into the site and prepare and submitted a GO-88B application to the
CPUC for approval of the improvements associated with
the new Clay Street at-grade rail crossing.

Culvert Replacement Project
Client: City of Ukiah
Date: 2010

Relevance
− Bridge design
− Resource agency permitting
− Survey
− Hydraulic evaluation
Description: GHD was contracted by the City of Ukiah
to improve pedestrian access and intersection geometry
at the intersection of Gobbi Street, Oak Manor and
Babcock Lane. The intersection is bisected by Gibson
Creek, a tributary to the Russian River, in two locations.

The project included biological studies to support
regulatory agency permit applications; geotechnical
investigations; topographic, utility and right-of-way
survey; hydrology; and hydraulic evaluation of the new
stream crossings on Gibson Creek including evaluation
of new improvements in relation to existing FEMA
FIRM hydraulic models. The crossing designs included
pre-cast bottomless box culverts with a 20‑foot freespan supported on cast-in-place concrete drilled pile foundations. In addition, the new crossings were
designed to meet California Department of Fish & Game
(CDFG) fish passage criteria. GHD assisted the City in
developing the CEQA document, conducting biological
surveys and developing permit applications to secure
the CDFG Streambed Alteration Agreement, RWQCB
401 Water Quality Certification and the USACE 404.

This project received funding through the 2002 State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The project
was constructed in 2010 for contract award amount.

Outcome: Fish passage criteria for listed salmonids had to be addressed during the design process as well as the poor soil conditions and liquefaction potential. GHD's
team collaborated with CDFW and other team members
to develop creative solutions. A stream simulation design approach was conducted and an engineered streambed
material consisting of a gradation of native streambed
gravels designed to remain stable at high flow events was placed through the bottomless box culvert. The poor soil conditions were mitigated through deepening specific
piers, which proved to reduce cost relative to a simple pier design and longer uniform pier lengths.

− Multimodal connectivity and safety
Goal: The goal of this project was to study the feasibility of an alternative north-south roadway corridor. This major collector is expected to be an extension of the existing Orchard Avenue that ends at the Ukiah City Limit with
Mendocino County.

Description: After securing a Community Based
Transportation Planning Grant, Mendocino County hired
GHD to prepare a feasibility study to assess the cost
of improvements for an alternate route along Orchard
Avenue to improve traffic operations, multimodal
connectivity, and safety. An additional north-south
thoroughfare is greatly needed within the Ukiah Valley
Area for improved circulation for commuters, visitors,
and regional transit, as well as providing an alternate emergency access (in case of closure of US 101 and/or
State Street).

The Orchard Avenue Extension would reduce congestion
and provide relief through Mendocino County and satisfies those transportation needs. Extending the road north from Brush Street along the preferred alignment will provide another route through the County and serve to improve
congestion along North State Street and US 101, as well as adding another route for trucks that do not have height limitations of that exist on US 101. To date, three public meetings have been held on the planned extension and
to provide a forum to ask for community input. They were held at the Mendocino County building on September 26,
2018, March 27, 2019, and on November 13, 2019 with a
formal presentation. The Feasibility Study was accepted by the Board of Supervisors in February 2020.

Relevance
− Bridge design
− Roadway improvements
Description: GHD performed preliminary engineering
through construction services for the design of a
four-lane, two-span, 85-foot concrete slab bridge
over Orr Creek in the City of Ukiah. The project
included approach roadways of 450 feet and 700 feet,
respectively, storm drainage channel modifications,
hydraulic and scour studies, and permit coordination.

A significant element in design was the creek capacity
and the bridge was designed to be above the 100-year
flood elevation. The critical challenge faced on this
project was the project schedule. Developments were
proposed on each side of Orr Creek near the bridge
location and therefore required a fast-track design. To shorten the design window, PDT meetings were held
every two weeks and the environmental study/approval
documents were hand walked through the process.

Outcomes: Due to permitting issues and the
development, the project was put on hold at a 95%
submittal stage and was rescheduled for completion.

GHD worked closely with the City and the developers to
meet the revised deadline.

Ortho-mosaics and Digital Elevation Models (DEM’s) were generated from the aerial imagery in Pix4D. The DEM was imported into Virtual Surveyor where vegetation was removed, and a high-resolution Triangular Irregular Networks (TIN) was generated for export into AutoCAD. AutoCAD was used to
grade a designed extraction surface and an estimated volume was calculated. After gravel extraction, post extraction conditions were recorded using the UAV, as well as on the ground surveying. This data was once again brought into AutoCAD where a final volume was calculated by comparing the pre- and post-extraction surfaces. Traditionally, this type of monitoring and calculation was accomplished with the use of traditional survey methods. The UAV decreased the amount of field effort necessary and resulted in a higher resolution dataset than traditional methods.
