ANNA M. BROWN, CITY CLERK
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 2.05.050 TO CHAPTER 2.05 “CAMPAING REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS” OF THE UNION CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO

REQUIRE ELECTRONIC FILING OF CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS
Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading the full text of the Ordinance, conduct the second reading and adopt the Ordinance adding Section 2.05.050 to Chapter 2.05 “Campaign Reporting Requirements” of the Union City Municipal Code to require electronic filing of campaign statements.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
GoalA. Financial Stability and Sustainability
Strategy 7: Reduce staff costs and increase staff efficiency by increasing the public’s access to self-service options

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 84615 allows local government agencies to adopt an ordinance that requires an elected officer, candidate, committee, or other person required to file Political Reform Act documents, to file online or electronically with the City Clerk.

DISCUSSION
The City Clerk’s office processes approximately 115 statements of economic interests on an annual basis and five campaign statements on a bi-annual basis. In election years, campaign statements fluctuate depending on the number of candidates and committees and the additional pre-election filings. The filers receive initial notifications, reminders, and in some cases requests for amendments.

City Council/RSA Agenda 49 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
When the COVID-19 Pandemic shut down City Hall, the closure to the public created a new challenge as original documents were still required to be filed. Additionalcoordination was necessary to ensure delivery and receipt of the original documents.

In addition to coordinating the filings, Assembly Bill 2151 now requires local government agencies to post campaign statements and reports on the City’s website, within 72 hours of each filing deadline. Before posting, the City Clerk must redact the street name and building number of the persons or entity representatives listed on any statement, report, or document, or any bank account number required to be disclosed by the filer.

The City has entered into an agreement with Granicus, LLC, a vendor approved by the California Secretary of State, to provide an online electronic filing system for campaign disclosure statements and statements of economic interests.

The Ordinance adding Section 2.05.050 to Chapter 2.05 “Campaign Reporting Requirements” enables the City Clerk to accept electronically filed statements, permit the use of an online filing system and designate the filings received electronically by the City Clerk’s Office as the filings of record for the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading the full text of the Ordinance, conduct the second reading and adopt the Ordinance adding Section 2.05.050 to Chapter 2.05 “Campaign Reporting Requirements” of the Union City Municipal Code to require electronic filing of campaign statements.

The Ordinance will become effective on February 11, 2022.

Specifically, the electronic filing system will ensure the integrity of the data and includes safeguards against efforts to tamper with, manipulate, alter, or subvert data; the electronic filing system will only accept a filing in the standardized record format developed by the Secretary of State and compatible with the Secretary of State’s system for receiving an online or electronic filing; and the electronic filing system will be available free of charge to filers and to the public for viewing filings.

To this end, provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.

SECTION 5. Publication and effective date.

DATE: 1/11/2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARILOU AYUPAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO EXTEND THE UNION

CITY TRANSIT FIXED-ROUTE AND DEMAND RESPONSE OPERATIONS

AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH MV TRANSPORATION FOR
AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2022
Staff recommends that the City Councilauthorizes the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 9 with MV Transportation (MV) to extend the contract for an additional six months through June 30, 2022.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The adoption of this resolution is in response to unforeseen circumstances as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and is thus not directly related to the City Council’s five-year Strategic Plan. However, it is generally consistent with GoalA of the Strategic Plan to foster fiscal health through cost control.

BACKGROUND
MV has been the operations and maintenance contractor for both Union City Transit and Paratransit since July 1, 2000. MV was awarded the operations and maintenance contract again after a request for proposal (RFP) process with a contract beginning October 3, 2009. Contract optional years and subsequent extensions now expire on December 31, 2021.

On November 29, 2021, MV sent a formal request to the City to continue its transportation partnership for an additional six (6) months. Their proposal includes for consideration an overall 6.0% increase for the last six (6) months of FY 2022 with improved technology that will provide reporting functions and real time customer information.

DISCUSSION
City Council/RSA Agenda 53 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Staff is presenting a proposal to extend the operating and maintenance contract with MV for an additional six (6) months in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Staff is preparing a new RFP for a long-term operations and maintenance contractor but has had to continuously respond to a rapidly changing environment for transit service that has taken precedence over issuing the RFP. An extension allows staff to issue an RFP that enables potential bidders (including MV) the ability to properly evaluate Union City Transit (Fixed-Route), Union City Paratransit (Demand Response), and the Union City Flea (Demand Response Microtransit) as a potential business.

For all Fixed-Route and Demand Response services, MV is paid a monthly flat fee as wellas a variable hourly fee for the actual hours of revenue service provided. MV has submitted a proposal that includes a 4.4% increase to the fixed monthly fees and a 6.9% increase to the variable rate fees, for an overall approximate cost increase of 6.0% for the duration of this six (6) month extension. Calculations in the table below are based on 21,000 Fixed-Route hours and 7,600 Demand Response hours while the increase is to keep Union City Transit drivers’ rates at competitive levels within the region to keep drivers while other operators are hiring to fill massive vacancies. The current and proposed rates are:

FY20 FY21
(Jul-Dec)
FY21
(Jan-Jun)
FY22
(Jul-Dec)
FY22
(Jan-Jun)
Fixed-Route
Monthly Fixed Fee $103,310 $103,310 $113,538 $113,538 $118,549 Variable (Hourly) Rate $47.60 $47.60 $52.33 $54.32 $58.10 Demand Response
Monthly Fixed Fee $21,451 $21,451 $23,575 $23,575 $24,615 Variable (Hourly) Rate $49.03 $49.03 $53.88 $55.93 $59.77 Annual Total $4,073,004 $4,073,004 $4,662,192 $4,776,932 $5,066,672* Six Month Extension Total $2,036,502 $2,331,096 $2,388,466 $2,533,336* *MV’s offer letter in Attachment A uses 19,600 hours for fixed-route service and 6,000 hours for demand response service based on current service levels. Staff recalculated to provide comparable comparison to prior extensions and because service fluctuates to the maximum hours of 21,000 for fixed-route and 7,600 for demand response.

MV will continue to adhere to the terms of the agreement from the current agreement that was approved by City Counciland signed in June 2021.

MV has continued to provide quality service for Union City. They have continued to operate in a safe and professional manner, have been very responsive to the City’s requests and are a cooperative partner in the delivery of the City’s vital transit and paratransit services. By extending the agreement through June 30, 2022, the City will retain a responsible operator while staff administers an RFP process to select the next quality service provider for Union City Transit (Fixed-Route), Union City Paratransit (Demand Response), and the Union City Flea (Demand Response Microtransit).

FISCAL IMPACT
The totalestimated costs for Contract Amendment No. 9 through June 30, 2022 are $2,533,336. The costs are based on six (6) months of service estimated at 21,000 service hours for Union City Transit (Fixed-Route) and 7,600 service hours for Union City Paratransit (Demand Response) and Union City Flea (Demand Response Microtransit). Contract Amendment No. 9 will be funded with $1,931,394 from Account Number 5110-3141- City Council/RSA Agenda 54 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
34002-54114 (Transit Fund – Transit – Transit Operations – Purchased Transportation Contract) and $601,942 from Account Number 5120-3141-34022-54114 (Paratransit Fund – Transit – Paratransit Operations – Purchased Transportation Contract). Funds for this contract were included in the FY 2021-2022 Adopted Budgets of the Transit and Paratransit Funds. There will be no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 9 with MV Transportation to extend the agreement through June 30, 2022.

BACKGROUND
At the November 19, 2020 Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) Meeting, Alameda CTC staff in partnership with Union City staff, presented the findings of the QLP project. Following Alameda CTC staff’s recommendation, the full Commission adopted a resolution to:

1. Commit the remaining balance of 1986 Measure B funding for the East West Connector (I-880 to Mission Blvd) Project to the Quarry Lakes Parkway Project ($69.0 Million) sponsored by Union City and acknowledging that the commitment fulfills the 1986 Measure B funds from the 1986 Transportation City Council/RSA Agenda 63 Tuesday, January 11, 2022

Other actions included:

1. Increasing the FY 2021/22 revenue projection in Account Number 4100-91804-44502 (Capital Projects Fund - Misc. County/Local Grants) by $4.2 Million.

2. Amending the FY 2021/22 Capital Projects Fund budget by appropriating $4.2 Million to Account Number 4100-3199-91804-54110 (Capital Projects Fund - Quarry Lakes Parkway (East West Connector) – Professional Services) for Final Design Services of Phases (Segments) 1 and 2 for the Quarry Lakes Parkway (East West Connector) Project, City Project No. 18-04.

On October 14, 2021, a notification that the upcoming RFP for Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) of Phases 1 and 2 for Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, would be available on the City’s website on October 19, 2021 was emailed to all potential Prime Consultant and Subconsultant firms on the Alameda CTC’s Certified Firms List dated October 1, 2021. This Certified List identifies firms that are registered by Alameda CTC as a LBE (Local Business Enterprise), SLBE (Small Local Business Enterprise) or VSLBE (Very Small Local Business Enterprise).

On November 9, 2021, a Pre-Proposal Meeting and “Meet the Primes” event was held at Studio 11 for interested Prime Consultant and Subconsultant firms. The City presented a project overview of Quarry Lakes Parkway and Decoto Complete Streets in Union City and Fremont along with defined project elements of Phase 1 and Phase 2. Also discussed was the Alameda CTC’s LBCE Program and the goals for professional services contracts (70% LBE and 30% SLBE), see Attachment D. There were twenty (20) attendees; a majority were Alameda CTC certified LBE firms and a few were Alameda CTC SLBE firms, see Attachment E. The “Meet the Prime” Event allowed four (4) potential Prime Consultant firms to meet subconsultant firms with various technical expertise (hydraulics/hydrology, roadway drainage, geotechnical, hazardous materials, City Council/RSA Agenda 64 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
utilities, structures, traffic signal, street lighting and landscape/urban planning) to discuss the opportunity of being part of the Prime Consultants’ team.

On November 23, 2021, the City received one (1) proposal for the Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) of Phases 1 and 2 for Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, from Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. (Mark Thomas) of Oakland, CA, see Attachment C. Follow up discussions with the three (3) potential prime consultant firms that ultimately decided not to submit a proposal indicated that their excitement and interest was for the future work on the Final Design of Phase 3, 11
th Street Connection, and Phase 4, Alvarado-Niles Road
Connection. These phases include the complicated and challenging engineering design of grade separation structures (railroad bridges) allowing Quarry Lakes Parkway to go under the existing BART and two (2) UP tracks (Oakland and Niles Subdivisions).

On December 9, 2021, a Consultant Presentation and Interactive Technical Interview was held at Studio 11 with the Mark Thomas team and the Evaluation Panel comprised of city staff from the City Manager’s Office, the Economic and Community Development Department, the Public Works Department, and Union City Transit, as well as a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) member and a potential developer.

After the seventy-five (75) minute presentation and interactive technical interview, the Evaluation Panel determined that Mark Thomas and their subconsultant team presented a well-organized, technical presentation and provided highly qualified responses to engineering issues related to Complete Streets design, roadway drainage, hydrology, hydromodification, water quality, understanding of utilities within Public Right of Way and coordination with adjacent development, see Attachment B, and unanimously made the recommendation to select the Mark Thomas team for the project.

The Scope of Services for Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) is to develop a basis for final design for the Quarry Lakes Parkway (QLP) based on utilizing the 2011 previously completed East West Connector (EWC) project plans (65%). Mark Thomas and their subconsultants will review EWC project design which includes CAD drawing files, engineering calculations and technical reports to recommend how to best update the EWC project plans to the City’s current vision for QLP to be a complete multi-modal transportation corridor to carry local bus, deliveries, motor vehicles, bicycle, and pedestrian including underground utilities to complete the Station District Plan.

A series of coordination meetings with Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is expected to evaluate the hydrology, hydromodification and water quality related to the roadway drainage and storm drain runoff within the entire project area. Coordination with staff from Fremont, AC Transit, Caltrans, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and other resources agencies along with all the utility companies will also be required.

Once this Preliminary Engineering task is completed, the Consultant Team will have a better understanding of the complexities of this project and will be able to prepare a fair, detailed Scope of Work and Cost Proposal to complete Final Design. The Preliminary Engineering Phase is expected to be completed by this summer with Final Design anticipated to be completed by December 2023.

The Consulting Services Agreement with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. for Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) of Phase 1 and 2 for Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, is estimated at $1,200,000, see Exhibit A.

Whereas the 70% LBE goal for professional services contracts is realistic, the 30% SLBE goal has become very challenging to meet in recent years due to the decrease in the number of the available Certified SLBE firms. This has been caused by several factors, including by SLBE firm closures during the COVID-19 pandemic and acquisitions of SLBE firms by large engineering firms. For example, WRECO, Inc. was one of the SLBE firms who was recently acquired by HDR, Inc. WRECO had the technical expertise in hydraulic and roadway drainage required for this complex project, but no longer qualified as SLBE. The City has City Council/RSA Agenda 65 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
complied with Alameda CTC’s LBCE program requirements and the resulting contract is anticipated to achieve about 85% LBE (above the 70% goal) and about 27% SLBE (below the 30% goal). See Attachment A, Alameda CTC’s Form B4: LBCE Program Participation Summary for the Mark Thomas’ consultant agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The $4.2 Million in 1986 Measure B grant funds as identified in the Alameda CTC PFA No. A22-0053, executed on September 7, 2021, will fund 100% of the cost for Final Design Services of Phases (Segments) 1 and 2 for the Quarry Lakes Parkway Project.

The initialcost of $1,200,000 for the Consulting Services Agreement with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. for Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) of Phases (Segments) 1 and 2 for the Quarry Lakes Parkway Project, City Project No. 18-04, will be funded from Capital Projects Fund Account Number 4100-3199-91804-54110 (Capital Projects Fund - Quarry Lakes Parkway (East West Connector) – Professional Services). The remaining $3.0 Million will be used for the upcoming contract amendment to complete the Final Design of Phases 1 and 2.

The total Project Cost for Phase 1, which includes Final Design, Right of Way and Construction, is $16.7 Million and the total Project Cost for Phase 2, which includes Final Design, Right of Way and Construction, is $20.3 Million, and are completely funded with 1986 Measure B funds.

There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. for Preliminary Engineering (30% Design) of Phases (Segments) 1 and 2 for Quarry Lakes Parkway (East West Connector), City Project No. 18-04, in the amount of $1,200,000.

• Methodology including the 4% rule
City Council/RSA Agenda 80 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Hydromodification

WHAT WHY HOW
• Adding new pavement
increases runoff flows
• Increased flows causes
creek erosion
• Erosion becomes sediment,
a “pollutant”
• Adding new pavement increases runoff
flows
• Long range rainfall data• Storms we analyze: from 10% of the 2- year peak flow, to the 10-year peak flow
• Cannot exceed pre-project rates by more
than 10% for more than 10% of the record duration

Santa Cruz County
Mark Thomas is preparing the final design, environmental clearance, and permitting for the Soquel Drive Buffered Bike Lanes and Congestion Mitigation Project. This project spans over five miles and will include adaptive traffic signal control/transit signal priority, separated bikeways, 46 green bike boxes and crosswalk upgrades, pavement rehabilitation, and RRFB installation and curb ramp upgrades.

Soquel Avenue/Drive provides an alternative vehicular route to Highway 1 and experiences traffic congestion and higher vehicle speeds that are frequently associated with cut-through traffic. The corridor serves as the primary route for active transportation on the inland side of Highway 1 and transit buses provide access to residences, businesses, and schools.

Through this project, the County aims to improve safety for all modes of transportation, reduce traffic congestion, decrease incidence of collision, and improve transit reliability. It will enhance multimodal options and connectivity to increase corridor throughput and reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as promote sustainable development and livable communities.

Shawn O’Keefe is the project manager for this fast tracked project. In order to meet the short turnaround deadline, Shawn maintained an aggressive delivery schedule, identified right of way and utility issues early on, began preliminary corridor design immediately, and synthesized existing and forward looking signal technologies.

downtown Morgan Hill. The proposed improvements
include a roundabout at West Dunne Street, two
stormwater detention basins, landscaping, sound walls,
a new traffic signal, street lights and landscaped median island. Significant retaining walls are required to conform to existing ground adjacent to the new street. Mark
Thomas is also providing Environmental Permitting and
right of way surveying for acquisition of right of way and slope easements from 14 parcels. The project is now in
construction.

El Cerrito Del Norte BART Station, El
Cerrito
Mark Thomas completed the final design of the El
Cerrito Del Norte BART Station project which included
the concourse, bus stops and platforms, landscape and
irrigation and parking lot redesign. As part of these
services, Mark Thomas prepared storm water design in
compliance with C.3 requirements, performed bicycle
and pedestrian circulation analysis, relocated the
passenger drop off lane, analyzed and modified bus
circulation movements.

Mark Thomas was responsible for the coordination and
approvals necessary with the City of El Cerrito and BART and coordinated closely with the City’s’ adjacent Ohlone Greenway Project.

UC Davis West Village Connectivity,
Davis
Mark Thomas prepared preliminary and final design
documents for several critical transportation improvement projects in the West Village area of the UC Davis campus.

The projects will widen the bike and pedestrian pathway and adding lighting along the south side of Russell
Boulevard between Arthur Street and LaRue Road, modify
the bike path and extending connections from the West
Village to the pedestrian overcrossing at Acer Street, add a 12-inch domestic waterline to the existing pedestrian overcrossing of Highway 113, widen the pedestrian
pathway from the pedestrian overcrossing to Orchard
Park Drive, construct a traffic circle at Orchard Park
Circle and Orchard Park Drive, alter the existing two lane vehicle roundabout at the West Village to a single lane roundabout. Shawn and Danielle worked together on this
project.

APPROACH

PROJECT BACKGROUND/UNDERSTANDING
Originally known as the I-880 to Mission Boulevard East-West Connector (EWC), Quarry Lakes Parkway (QLP) reflects the revised, community-oriented, multi-modal, approach to the new local roadway and redefines it as a gateway to Quarry Lakes Regional Park. QLP will connect the neighbors, parks, schools and jobs in Fremont and Union City and support the development of the Station District around the Union City BART and ACE Stations. QLP will carry local buses, deliveries, emergency vehicles, cars, bicycles, and pedestrian trips in and out of the new community of homes and offices. This project is the major first link providing better circulation within the community for vehicles and will offer a non-motorized, healthy travel alternative to access transit, local parks, trails, and retail. In time, the larger project will allow safer routes to schools, and playgrounds.

The current phasing for the project proposes to complete Phases 1 and 2 (the “bookends”) first, to straighten the connection from Mission Boulevard to 7th Street and allow for City Corporation Yard improvements and construct a new roadway segment from Old Alameda Creek to Alvarado-Niles Road allowing for development of the Gateway Site and the extension of needed utilities. Phases 3 and 4 will close the gap between Phase 1 and 2 with grade separations at the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and BART tracks while Phase 5 will complete the project by connecting Phase 2 with Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
This stage of the project is to develop the 30% design for Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 and document the basis of design in a Preliminary Design Report (PDR). The PDR will document design criteria, design issues and refinements, site issues and limitations, permitting strategy, project risks, procedural requirements, cost analysis and construction schedule. We understand the importance of combining all four phases at this early stage toward developing a cohesive, multimodal complete streets facility that respects the City’s vision and realizes the promise of a healthy, vibrant community.

PHASES 1 AND 2
Phases 1 and 2 involve design of new roadway
comprising QLP, including 2 lanes in each direction
for vehicles, buffered bike lanes, sidewalks in each
direction, drainage facilities, and all utilities needed to support development. The two Phases “bookend”
Phases 3 & 4. As with all Phases of this project,
amenities for bicycle and pedestrian mobility and
safety, stormwater sustainability, landscape, and urban design concepts will be applied to the roadways and
intersections. Stormwater and drainage will be studied
and conceptualized for all four phases such that
the system works together in the most effective and
sustainable manner.

PHASES 3 AND 4
Phases 3 and 4 depress a roadway to create a to
grade separation under BART and UPRR Oakland and
Niles Subdivisions. As such, they are more complex
segments with major structural considerations, rail
accommodations, agency coordination, operations,
and groundwater and drainage considerations.

Although structural elements are not part of this
phase of work, agency coordination, groundwater and
drainage requirements will be considered as part of
the conceptual design of the entire project, along with roadway and related elements, to result in an efficient coordinated facility.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
The Mark Thomas Team has an unparalleled understanding of the project and its challenges while also bringing a fresh approach to design elements and project delivery. Our team has been assembled using many of the original EWC technical experts to take advantage of prior project investments and limit the amount of time it will take to “get up to speed” on this complex, multi-phased project. New team members include Toole Design Group (Toole), CSW|ST2, and Boris Dramov of ROMA Design (ROMA). Toole will assist with geometric reviews and graphics. CSW|ST2 will assist with utility coordination, utility design, and serve as a developer interface.

As an optional service, ROMA can assist with high level planning, preliminary design opportunities, and maintaining cohesion with the existing Station Area Development.

Mark Thomas’ experience with this project’s connections extends beyond Union City as we are currently completing the final design (now at 100%) for the Decoto Road Complete Streets project for the City of Fremont. Both projects rely on the same 2009 EWC EIR as the CEQA clearance document.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT
At the outset of the project, the Mark Thomas Team will build upon the Preliminary Design Report (PDR) we have prepared as a part of this proposal to identify project risks, actions to mitigate those risks and document design decisions to develop the basis of design for the 30% plans. During PDR development we will evaluate and explore feasible alternatives for items such as stormwater management and treatment, resource agency permitting, geometric design, and hazardous materials, just to name a few. We have completed numerous PDRs for past projects including the Kirker Pass Truck Climbing Lanes project for Contra Costa County and the Mokelumne Pedestrian Overcrossing project for CCTA. The PDR will be a critical tool for QLP to document decisions and provide the design intent as this is a long-term multi-phase project.

PLANNING SYNTHESIS
The City has a big-picture vision for the project. When embarking on a multi-year, multi-phased project, it’s important to review previous planning documents to be sure to convey the City’s vision and capture local community needs in the design. ROMA brings experience, knowledge, and a unique approach to support the preliminary design process. ROMA can help orchestrate the team’s efforts to integrate the vision for QLP into the design. The preliminary design will be a collaborative process between ROMA and the design team in which issues are identified, solutions proposed, and sketches developed for design variations, options or alternatives.

Each iteration of this process effectively allows for input from the City, other agencies, and stakeholders. Some initial areas for exploration include:
» Determine if minor alignment adjustments within the project footprint may better respond to existing and future neighborhoods and open spaces
» Revisit the cross-section of the parkway for an opportunity to provide for significant landscaping to create a linear landscape corridor that connects open space and recreational facilities » Explore adjustments to the stormwater detention areas to remove barriers to adjacent development and improve open space and recreational opportunities
» Suggest topographic or landscape modifications along the right of way to create a better relationship to existing and future uses
» Address the potential for increased flooding hazards caused by climate change » Refine the construction and phasing strategy to facilitate implementation Involving ROMA in the conceptual design process will enhance QLP’s form and function.

GEOMETRIC REFINEMENTS
Mark Thomas, the City, and Fremont have collaborated over the past several years to review and provide options for updated/enhanced roadway geometrics to the 2011 EWC design. In that time complete streets guidelines and best practices for bicycle and pedestrian facilities have evolved. Moving forward, QLP will need to reflect a local, multimodal approach to accommodate the safety and circulation needs of all forms of transportation.

We have identified geometric refinements that can be made to both the cross section and intersection designs to provide protected intersection elements for bicyclists and shorten crossing distances for pedestrians. We will also explore lane assignments/space allocation at the intersections to eliminate dual left turn lanes where possible. Team member Kittelson & Associates, Inc. (Kittelson) has past EWC traffic experience and helped with the revised traffic memo for QLP. Kittelson will verify that proposed changes in the geometrics will not negatively impact traffic operations to a significant level. We expect to refine the design for bus transit, specifically high functioning and efficient stops, using the latest AC Transit Bus Policy and Multimodal Corridor Guidelines as well as input from Union City Transit.

Mark Thomas has been
working closely with Toole
Design Group to update
the Union City Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master
Plan. Toole has been on
the forefront of forwardthinking bicycle and
pedestrian design, so we
have added them to our
team to supplement our
already strong complete
streets designers.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT
Mark Thomas team member ICF previously developed and cleared the EWC project through CEQA in 2009, with an EIR which will continue to be the supporting document for the final design phases of the project. While the final design will identify possible refinements and enhancements, the footprint and purpose and need of the project will need to stay within the parameters of the existing EIR. That said, minor changes are inevitable due to evolving design standards. A simple CEQA Addendum can be prepared to address these revised project elements should the City decide to do so. An addendum does not require public circulation and can be used when the project design and footprint do not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts. The need for a NEPA document is not anticipated at this time as no federal funds are involved and NEPA compliance is presumed to be done internally by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the permitting phase. Permitting requirements identification and the Environmental Monitoring & Reporting Program (MMRP) will build on the prior permitting strategy and MMRP developed for the EWC.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Mark Thomas team member PGAdesign previously worked on the EWC project and thoroughly understands the City’s goals for QLP. One of PGAdesign’s main roles is to merge the project’s function with its aesthetic, an ambition reflected by the City’s goal “to promote safe, efficient, and convenient multimodal travel while also supporting public life, neighborhoods, and economic vitality.” Making a facility safe, efficient, and convenient will not necessarily support and encourage public life; it is the public life that will ultimately encourage neighborhood livability and economic vitality. PGAdesign will coordinate closely with the entire team to successfully integrate the interests and demands of stakeholders, agencies, design standards, utilities, cost, and maintenance encountered during design. Upon completion, the parkway should look unified and intentional.

Street trees will be selected that provide the desired shade, adapt to potential climate change over the next 50 years, require minimal maintenance and water use, and minimize vector control while providing habitat.

They will be placed to provide needed shade but allow for street light penetration and appropriate setbacks for utilities, lighting, driveway cuts, and signage. Landscaping will unite the varied segments of the parkway through a cohesive planting plan, while understanding the microclimate to ensure healthy robust plants that will survive and flourish in a “people place.” Plantings can be used adjacent to existing residential buildings to provide privacy/sound walls and to reduce the visual impact of the new pavement needed for QLP. Planting will be scaled for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Uncomplicated plant masses relate to the natural open spaces and are easier and less expensive to maintain. The design will employ cost effective and appropriate water conservation strategies and planting will be water efficient. An example concept of possible planting and amenities for Phase 1 is shown below.

PHASE 1

QUARRY LAKES PARKWAY PHASES 1 AND 2
City of Union City

MARK THOMAS

Safety will be considered as plantings can provide safety benefits, such as providing headlight glare reduction and windbreaks. Design elements will aim to reduce exposure to traffic for maintenance workers by using paver bands in medians, and paving narrow, high-risk areas. Finally, landscape maintenance will be considered by using established methods to reduce long-term maintenance (i.e., Bay Friendly Practices, life-cycle cost, plant succession, robust planting details). The team will also collaborate with City field crews to gather input that will inform design decisions.

ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT AND UTILITY EXTENSIONS
As defined in the Station District Specific Plan, the Gateway subarea will offer a mix of affordable and market rate multi-family housing and accommodate Phase 2 of QLP. The 25-acre agricultural parcel located to the west of Alvarado-Niles Road was formally owned by the State of California and has been transferred to the City, which is currently partnering with City Ventures on the development. Mark Thomas team member CSW|ST2 has direct experience working with City Ventures, in addition to completing the design and permitting of multi-family developments across the northern California.

As QLP Phase 2 will likely be ahead of the adjacent development, CSW|ST2 will work closely with the City and City Ventures to understand and size future utility lines, such as potable water served by Alameda County Water District (connecting to the existing 24-inch diameter main in Alvarado Niles Road), sanitary sewer provided by the Union Sanitary District (connecting to the existing 27-inch diameter main in Alvarado Niles Road), electrical and communications systems provided by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Comcast, AT&T, as well as potential new entrants into the marketplace such as Wave and Sonic. For the electrical and communications infrastructure, our team will notify public utilities of the opportunity to install their infrastructure in a joint trench.

We will need to coordinate this effort with the developer as PG&E is prohibited by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to design or install infrastructure along a new roadway until they receive an application for service. We have supported agencies in developing reimbursement agreements for their pro-rata share of utility infrastructure installed in the project, as the utility systems often need to be installed before the developer is ready to commence construction.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Mark Thomas team member HDR|WRECO was an integral part of the former EWC project and has an unparalleled understanding of the project and the local watershed, flood control and water quality design criteria. Their previous coordination with stakeholders such as the Alameda County Flood Control and Water District (ACFC&WD) and the RWQCB led to preliminary agreement on potential off-site stormwater treatment alternative compliance to address stormwater treatment goals. HDR|WRECO assisted the City with their Green Infrastructure plans and is familiar with the methods for alternative compliance should right of way for complete stormwater treatment become a concern.

Drainage Design
Phases 1-4, except for the connection to Mission Boulevard (SR-238), are generally within the City limits hence improvements will follow City standards. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM, 06001C0433G) identifies that the Project is within Zone X (above the base flood) and Zone AH (shallow flooding). The flooding along the Line M Channel is likely caused by the existing undersized channel and the two 90-degree bends near the City’s Corporation Yard. QLP also lies within the Alameda Creek watershed and the runoff from the roadway will be collected through the City’s storm drain systems.

Phase 1 crosses a section of the Line M Channel and a Reinforced Box Culvert (RCB) will be proposed to address the Line M channel crossing under QLP. In an effort to resolve the existing flooding issues in the Line M channel, a diversion pipe will be proposed to bypass some of the flow from the Line M Channel and discharge into Old Alameda Creek. Phase 3 will remove an existing detention basin (called “New Basin”) and to mitigate this impact, a new detention system will be proposed on the west side of the BART tracks. Previously, the plan was to use open air detention/infiltration basins with steep slopes to provide the necessary stormwater storage.

During review of the previous design, we explored options to take back this lost acreage and propose to use underground storage methods with either plastic, metal, or concrete pipes. This underground system, while more costly will provide an opportunity to create a new public space, such as soccer fields, to help support the adjacent communities and the new proposed development site on the former Caltrans parcels.

Stormwater Treatment
The Project will add a significant amount of new impervious area and the design will rely on the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program’s (ACCWP) C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance Handbook. To address the stormwater treatment requirements HDR|WRECO will look for innovative solutions to reduce the right of way required for the outdated infiltration basin concept. If the Project is unable to provide enough treatment within the Project footprint, the design team will look for off-site treatment opportunities. The project will also be required to implement postconstruction stormwater controls per the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (MRP, Order R2-2015-0049). Likely stormwater treatment measures include bioretention areas (swales), flow-through planter boxes, tree well filters, pervious paving, and permeable joint pavers.

Hydromodification
HDR|WRECO will look at innovative ideas to address the hydromodification requirements of the Project. Projects that create or replace 1 acre or more of impervious and are in areas susceptible to hydromodification impacts should include hydromodification mitigation measures. The ACCWP’s Hydromodification Susceptibility Map Application has determined the Project is within a white area that drains to an earthen channel.

Therefore, the Project is required to consider hydromodification impacts or propose hydromodification management measures. Bioretention areas, underground treatment areas proposed for stormwater treatment will provide hydromodification management. This will be documented in the Stormwater Management Plan.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Geotechnical
Mark Thomas Team member Parikh Consultants prepared geotechnical reports for the EWC project and will build upon the existing documentation to meet current standards and identify newer technologies in earth retaining structures that may be a better fit for the project design. In general, we expect the native soil to be generally stiff to very stiff clays through about elevation 10 overlying sand and gravel deposits with the existing alignment grade at around elevation 49. Groundwater levels should be between elevation 29 and 24 per USGS geologic data and recent ACWD monitoring well data. The previous design assumed groundwater at elevation 30 but site-specific soil borings are recommended to verify current groundwater levels as they have likely changed over the last decade.

HDR|WRECO developed
the City’s Green
Infrastructure Plans and
understands stormwater
treatment can be
considered off-site in
the same watershed
which may have more
available right of way and
have more critical water
quality goals such as

impacts. A discussion of

The previous retaining wall design at the Phase 3 and 4 grade separations called for Cement Deep Soil Mixing (CDSM) walls for groundwater control and bottom stabilization to account for buoyancy as the lowest portion of the profile was close to the clay and gravel boundary. We will evaluate wall type options as a part of the PDR process. Another unique feature within Phase 3 is the existing at-grade Green Street bridge that was constructed in anticipation of the QLP project many years ago. Due to changes in seismic and structural standards it would be prudent to evaluate the bridge in accordance with current criteria to understand if retrofitting the existing structure is required.

Newark Aquifer
The Newark Aquifer constitutes a major drinking water source for residents of Fremont, Newark, and Union City and as a result, the ACWD requires roadway vertical profile minimums to preserve the boundary between the Newark Aquifer and the Newark Aquiclude. The ACWD stipulated a minimum of 5-feet of Newark Aquiclude material remain undisturbed above the aquifer boundary.

Hazardous Materials
Mark Thomas Team member Fugro conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) in 2008 for the EWC project and identified a number of historic uses in the vicinity of the Quarry Lakes Parkway project, many of which likely resulted or have resulted in remnant impacts to soil and groundwater within the proposed construction corridor. Historic uses in the project vicinity included agricultural crops, rural farms/ranches, steel manufacturing at the Pacific States Steel Corporation (PSSC) property, Union City Corporation Yard, and rural transportation and rail corridors.

Significant remediation was conducted under oversight of the Department of Toxics Substance Control (DTSC) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) at the former PSSC property.

Various phases of soil and groundwater testing were conducted by Fugro from 2010 to 2016 which confirmed that soil and groundwater present within the Quarry Lakes Parkway project limits will require special attention and handling during construction. The existing chemical data from these studies and remediation activities coupled with the data collected during the various Phase II ESA’s represent sufficient data for the development of a Hazardous Materials Report for the areas within Phases 1-4 of QLP.

RESOURCE AGENCY PERMITTING
Mark Thomas Team member ICF previously developed the permitting strategy for the EWC project including the permits required, the mitigation required, and the options for either obtaining mitigation credits or implementing mitigation on-site or off-site, including options for partnering with other agencies. For QLP, ICF will update and revise the prior permitting strategy and take into account the current phasing plan, current resource agency requirements (USACE, USFWS, NMFS, CDFW, RWQCB) and an updated understanding of mitigation options available for the project. As off-site mitigation bank options are extremely limited, we will explore potential partnerships with other agencies such as the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), Zone 7 Water Agency and the USFWS relating to the South Bay Salt Pond project.

Phase 1 of the project will require permits for realignment of the Line M channel and potentially for filling a portion of Basin 2C. Basin 2C is a mitigation wetland created as a part of the adjacent residential development.

The RWQCB has previously indicated that it is reluctant to permit filling in of a prior mitigation site and will mandate a high ratio as part of permitting (previously they have cited a 10:1 ratio). Phase 1 will require permits from USACE, CDFW, and RWQCB as well as consultation with USFWS regarding potential habitat for listed The Hazardous Materials
Report will inform the
design team regarding
the areas of potentially
hazardous materials/
wastes, the regulatory
interaction which is
required with the DTSC,
and the interaction with
Alameda County Water
District (ACWD) and
the RWQCB regarding
construction practices in
proximity to the top of
the Newark Aquifer.

federal species. Phase 2 of the project does not cross any waters or wetlands but may affect areas considered upland habitat for listed federal or state species within proximity to Old Alameda Creek. In addition, if any stormwater infrastructure requires encroachment into jurisdictional areas of Old Alameda Creek, that project element could trigger permitting from USACE, CDFW and/or RWQCB.

While not a part of the current project scope, it is important to understand the overall permitting requirements for all phases when developing our implementation strategy. Phase 3 will affect the remainder of Basin 2C, Line M and the “New Basin” while Phase 4 will affect Old Alameda Creek and the Alameda Creek Flood Channel along with adjacent riparian and upland habitat. A key consideration of the permitting strategy will be whether to seek permits for the different phases of the project or to permit Phases 1 through 4 at the same time. It is probable that the resource agencies may require combining some or all phases in the permitting in order to assess the “whole of the project.” For example, the agencies are likely to demand that the effects of Basic 2C and Line M not be split into two permits. There are efficiency gains to be had by permitting Phases 1 through 4 at the same time in terms of a singular permitting process with each agency and combining mitigation requirements. If permitting is ultimately pursued for all phases, a phased approach to mitigation should be pursued so that mitigation is only purchased implemented in phase with impacts, in order to avoid inordinate mitigation costs for the initial phases.

Caltrans Encroachment Permit
The majority of QLP is within City jurisdiction except on the far east end where it ties into Mission Boulevard (SR-238) which is within Caltrans right of way. These improvements will be subject to a Caltrans encroachment permit which will require following Caltrans standards and either a new or amended maintenance agreement with the State. Mark Thomas has numerous examples of successfully obtaining Caltrans encroachment permits for local agency projects and will help the City navigate the process smoothly and efficiently as to not hold up bidding or construction. Recent examples include encroachment permits for the Charleston Arastradero Corridor project in Palo Alto (under construction) and the Stoneridge Drive Improvement project in Pleasanton (in bid phase).

MANAGEMENT APPROACH
In addition to a sound technical approach, we have found the cornerstone of successful project delivery is for Mark Thomas and our team members to operate as a true extension of the City’s staff. We have developed a proven and effective management approach that will be utilized for this project, which includes:

Enhanced Communication with Team Members
Due to the realistic but aggressive schedule, we will implement bi-weekly standing meetings with the City to provide regular project updates and allow for timely feedback and input to keep the project design process moving forward. Another communication tool we have effectively implemented is a simplified file repository through the Microsoft Teams environment where we will post current schedules, meeting agendas and minutes, final deliverables and other pertinent documents so the City would have access to them at any time.

Implementation of these two strategies will enhance the flow and transparency of project information.

Effective Cost Control
Control of project costs and unnecessary design changes are important elements of any project. It is our duty to inform the City as soon as possible of any potential or proposed design revisions that will affect the established scope, schedule, or budget. Keeping all parties informed of any potential issues/changes in timely and continuous manner through regular communication is vital to controlling cost and schedule. Additionally, we receive weekly budget reports so we can track costs against our progress in real-time and make adjustments before issues arise.

Auditable QA/QC Documentation
Mark Thomas believes that QA/QC is a company-wide effort.

Throughout the duration of the project, we will implement and adhere to a QA/QC program in accordance with our Quality Management Manual. This document clearly defines our firm’s quality management system and ensures implementation of the Company’s quality policies at all levels.

With over 40 years of experience, Mike Cooper, PE, will develop and oversee our QA/QC program for this project. All team members will adhere to this Plan and each of our team members supports the idea that it is our responsibility to produce high-quality products that will result in developing a clearly defined and cost-effective project.

We will operate under a Total Quality Management system of which a specific QC Plan is only a part of the overall system. The Total Quality Management program is a continuous process, used not just at project milestones, but on a regular basis.

SCHEDULE
Maintaining an accurate, up to date project schedule is critical to the overall success of a project and has a direct correlation to maintaining project budgets. Shawn will be responsible for controlling project design efforts and deliverables by developing a comprehensive critical path method (CPM) schedule that identifies all necessary tasks and interrelationships required for a project. It is particularly important to drive this project forward and focus our efforts on the critical path as meaningful progress is required to meet Alameda CTC requirements. To keep us on track and provide transparency across the project team we will be updating the schedule every other week to track progress closely.

We prepared an
abbreviated schedule
(as shown to the
right) based on the
information from the
RFP. We anticipate
the 30% design
completed within
6 months upon
receipt of NTP, and
final design to be
completed within 12
months after receipt
of Final Design NTP.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
We are in general agreement with the scope of services as laid out in the RFP. If selected, we will develop a detailed scope of work in collaboration with the City.

Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 1 of 17

QUARRY LAKES PARKWAY
Union City Project No. 18-04
Prepared by MARK THOMAS
Date: November 23, 2021

PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT
The purpose of this Preliminary Design Report (PDR) is to provide Union City (City) with a project definition, a compilation of the most important issues, the design criteria to be used to generate 30% plans, cost analysis, and construction schedule. This PDR was prepared to fulfill the requirements listed in the RFP evaluating qualifications for selecting a design consultant, per RFP Section III.A.2. Technical Approach.

The PDR includes seven sections as follows:

I. Introduction
II. Background and History
III. Policy and Design Criteria
IV. Design Basis
V. Construction Considerations and Schedule
VI. Cost Analysis
VII. Attachments
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Union City (City) proposes to construct new multimodal local streets and roadways that connect neighborhoods, parks, schools, and jobs, and enable the build-out of the Station District Area at the Union City BART Station. The ultimate Quarry Lakes Parkway (QLP) begins at Mission Boulevard (SR 238) in Union City near Appian Way and continues to Paseo Padre Parkway and Decoto Road in Fremont.

Overall, the QLP will consist of two general vehicular travel lanes in each direction, buffered bike lanes, and wide sidewalks on each side of the roadway. QLP will feature landscaped medians and planting areas between sidewalks and the roadway. A two-way multi-use path is also envisioned along the north side of the roadway.

Within the City, the route crosses BART and UPRR tracks, the Line M Channel, and AlvaradoNiles Road to connect to the top bank of Old Alameda Creek. The route is segmented into four phases for the purpose of this PDR as Phase 5 will be analyzed in future years. All four phases will undergo 30% design concurrently. Phase 1 (7th Street Connection) and Phase 2 (Gateway Connection) are complete streets projects that will then proceed to final design. Phases 3 and 4 involve grade separations under BART and UPRR tracks. Phases 3 and 4 will move from 30% design to final design at a later date. QLP will include underground utilities, including electricity, City Council/RSA Agenda 132 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 2 of 17 natural gas, sewer and water delivery, improved storm water collection, and high-speed fiber communications.

The purpose of this Preliminary Design Report is to document initial design issues and considerations for all four phases of the project within the City.

II. BACKGROUND & HISTORY
Originally known as the I-880 to Mission Boulevard East-West Connector (EWC), the project was initiated by the Alameda County Transportation Authority (now Alameda CTC) under the 1986 Measure B. The EWC project would construct an improved east-west connection between I-880 and Mission Boulevard (SR 238). The Alameda CTC EWC project would include new roadways, widening of Decoto and Paseo Padre Parkway, and improvements to intersections along Decoto Road, Fremont Boulevard, Paseo Padre Parkway, Alvarado Niles Road and Mission Boulevard. The Final Environmental Impact Report was approved in 2009. The cost estimate from scoping to construction totaled over $300 million. Although design efforts continued, they were halted in late 2011 due to insufficient funding. In 2014, Alameda County Measure BB funded some work activities, including right of way acquisition, UPRR and BART grade separated designs, and environmental mitigation. The highway-like elements of the project and its high costs were unpopular with communities in Union City.

In March 2018, the City gained approval from Alameda CTC to implement the project. This allowed the City to re-envision QLP as a “Complete Streets” project that would support new development around the Union City’s Station District by improving circulation for all modes of travel. QLP would be designed to carry local bus, deliveries, emergency vehicles, car, bicycle, and pedestrian trips in and out of the new community of homes and offices in the Station District. The City has moved forward with scoping and phasing of the re-envisioned QLP project and has now issued this request for proposals for 30% design of all four phases.

III. POLICY & DESIGN CRITERIA
A. POLICY
The re-envisioned QLP is a Complete Streets project that balances the needs of all modes of travel. The Complete Streets Act of 2008 (Assembly Bill 1358) requires that cities and counties, upon any substantive revision of the circulation element of the General Plan, must plan for a balanced, multimodal network that meets the needs of all users. Union City’s General Plan Circulation Element (Chapter 5 – Mobility, 2019), is consistent with the Act, and includes the future QLP project. The vision for the QLP project is consistent with MTC’s Plan Bay Area 2050, the Union City Station District Draft Specific Plan, Union City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (2021), and Union City’s Complete Streets Policy (2018).

B. DESIGN CRITERIA
This stage of the QLP project is to complete 30% level engineering for Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4, complete all engineering reports required for Phases 1 and 2, and prepare a landscape corridor concept, hydrology, hydromodification, water quality, drainage and utility requirement reports City Council/RSA Agenda 133 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 3 of 17 for Phases 1, 2, 3, and 4. The work requires the performance of the PDR process to document design decisions, refinements, policies, procedural requirements, right of way, permitting, and final design scoping. At the completion of this phase, the last PDR documentation will be the preparation of the 30% level plans which will include title, typical sections, plan and profile, utility, storm drainage and striping layout for Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 (no structural details are required for Phases 3 and 4).

Design is to be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations that pertain to multi-modal roadway design, including Union City’s Standard Details. Current policies, design criteria and guidelines for urban complete streets include but are not limited to:

IV. DESIGN BASIS
The purpose of the 30% design effort is to develop the design basis for all four Phases within the City limits. The coordination between Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 is critical to the City’s overall vision for a vibrant community with a thriving circulation and transit system along with green infrastructure. Addressing keys issues early will be critical to managing and controlling costs and risks which will keep the project on schedule and within budget.

A. PHASE 1 – 7TH STREET CONNECTION
Phase 1 constructs new roadway from 7
th Street to Mission Boulevard (SR 238) near Appian
Way, where 7th Street curves east to front the City maintenance yard and Drigon Dog Park. This phase involves improvements at the Mission Boulevard and a new intersection at 7 th Street.

1. Mission Blvd/SR 238 Intersection
This phase includes widening of Mission Blvd, two left turn lanes from northbound Mission Blvd to new QLP and two right turn lanes from southbound Mission Blvd to QLP at the intersection of Mission Blvd/SR 238 and associated drainage improvements.

This new connection with a major arterial (Mission Blvd) will improve overall traffic throughout these corridors and new access for residents into Appian Way.

2. Connection to Corporation Yard & Drigon Dog Park
Phase 1 realigns 7th Street, provides a formalized intersection with improved access for residents into Chesapeake Drive, and provides additional parking for the UC Corporation City Council/RSA Agenda 134 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 4 of 17 Yard and Drigon Dog Park. This also includes the construction of new sidewalk along the west leg to create a 3-leg intersection.

3. Realign M Channel
Phase 1 constructs new Line M channel, diversion structure, and box culvert. This phase involves all 7th Street and QLP drainage improvements within phasing limits to connect to new culvert.

B. PHASE 2 GATEWAY CONNECTION
Phase 2 constructs a new roadway between Old Alameda Creek/Fremont City Limits and Alvarado-Niles Road. It realigns Quarry Lakes Drive from Isherwood Way to Osprey Drive and constructs a new intersection with Quarry Lakes Drive. This phase involves an outfall structure and bioretention basins for stormwater runoff pumped from depressed QLP in Phases 3 and 4.

Options for creative ways to make bioretention basins useable during non-rain events are sought.

1. Alvarado-Niles Road Intersection
This phase constructs QLP and Alvarado-Niles Road intersection with 3 legs with associated drainage improvements and maintains existing sidewalk along the east leg of the intersection.

2. Quarry Lakes Drive Intersection and Quarry Lakes Drive Realignment This phase realigns Quarry Lakes Drive from Isherwood Way to Osprey Drive. This phase constructs new QLP and Quarry Lakes Drive intersection to be 2 leg intersection while limiting roadway and streetscape improvements along the west leg and ending earthwork limits at the bridge. This phase builds all improvements along Quarry Lakes Drive and the roadway between the proposed detention basins to connect to Osprey Drive/Kinglet Court intersection.

3. Monterra Terrace/Osprey Drive Intersection
Phase 2 constructs conforms along Alvarado-Niles Road including modifications to the intersection and traffic signal at the Monterra Terrace/Osprey Drive intersection.

4. Drainage Facilities
This phase constructs a 72" RCP diversion line within phasing limits. This includes construction of remaining drainage improvements along QLP, Quarry Lakes Drive, and Alvarado-Niles Road.

5. Outfall Structures
This phase involves the construction of a 72" RCP outlet into Old Alameda Creek and connection of 72" RCP at storm drain manhhole east of Alvarado Niles Road.

6. Bioretention Basins
Phase 2 constructs both drainage basins west of Alvarado Nile Rd that will provide flow control through the attenuation of the design storm runoff.

Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 5 of 17 C. PHASE 3 11TH STREET CONNECTION (7TH STREET TO 11TH STREET) QLP in this phase, from 7th Street to 11th Street will be depressed under UPRR’s Niles Subdivision. 11
th Street will be extended, and intersection will be improved.

1. QLP Roadway from 7th Street to 11th Street
Phase 3 constructs QLP improvements from existing BART rail embankment limits to conform to 7th Street/QLP intersection constructed during Phase 1. This work includes retaining walls and maintenance roads within Phase 2 limits and wall structures adjacent to new drainage channel Line M.

2. 11th Street Extension & Traffic Signal
Phase 3 includes the extension of 11th Street and the installation of a new traffic signal at QLP/11th Street intersection.

3. QLP Grade Separation over UPRR’s Niles Subdivision
This includes construction of UPRR and protection of existing Green Street bridge and all grade separation and bridge improvements for UPRR line. This includes construction of interior walls, retaining walls and grade separation structure between QLP and UPRR.

4. UPRR Railroad Shoofly
Phase 3 constructs temporary track to allow passage and bypass around the construction site.

5. Pump Station & Drainage facilities
This phase includes the construction of drainage improvements east of UPRR bridge which would be connected to a newly built pump station. The pump station would be activated to pump drainage to drainage basin constructed during Phase 2 via 24" RCP.

This phase involves the construction of a detention basin east of Alvarado Niles Rd.

D. PHASE 4 GRADE SEPARATIONS (11TH STREET TO ALVARADO-NILES ROAD) QLP in this phase will be depressed under BART and UPRR Oakland Subdivision tracks. A pump station is needed to move stormwater to the bioretention basins in Phase 2. Intersection improvements will be added where QLP conforms with Alvarado-Niles Road and at Monterra Terrace/Osprey Drive/Alvarado-Niles Road.

1. QLP Roadway from 11th Street to Alvarado-Niles
Phase 4 constructs the remaining QLP improvements to connect Alvarado Niles Road to limits of Phase 3 work. This phase includes all remaining retaining wall and maintenance roads within the phasing limits. This involves conforming to Phase 2 work and the construction of the 4th leg of the QLP/Alvarado-Niles Road intersection.

2. QLP Grade Separation over BART track Shoofly/Bus Bridge, UPRR Oakland Subdivision
Phase 4 includes grade separation work and BART bridge. This phase constructs interior walls, retaining walls and grade separations between QLP and BART, and QLP and City Council/RSA Agenda 136 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 6 of 17 UPPR (Oakland Subdivision) including BART track shoofly/bus bridge and UPRR railroad shoofly.

3. Pump Station & Drainage Facilities
Phase 4 constructs remaining drainage improvements to connect to pump station. This involves completing 72" RCP diversion pipe connection between Phase 1 and Phase 2.

This would allow outlet into diversion pipe from diversion structure built during Phase 1.

E. ENVIRONMENTAL & SITE ISSUES

1. Permits & Environmental Mitigation
A key consideration of the permitting strategy will be whether to seek permits for the different phases of the project or to permit Phases 1 through 4 at the same time. It is probable that the resource agencies may require combining some or all phases in the permitting in order to assess the “whole of the project.” There are efficiency gains to be had by permitting Phases 1 through 4 at the same time in terms of a singular permitting process with each agency and combining mitigation requirements.

If permitting is ultimately pursued for all phases, a phased approach to mitigation should be pursued so that mitigation is only purchased implemented in phase with impacts, in order to avoid inordinate mitigation costs for the initial phases.

A permitting strategy was developed for the EWC, including identifying the permits required. The project will update and revise the prior permitting strategy to address the current plans for phasing, updated regulatory agency requirements, and current mitigation options. Initial analysis indicates that:
a. Phase 1 will require permits for realignment of the Line M channel and potentially for filling of a portion of Basin 2C. Basin 2C is a mitigation wetland created for mitigation of the adjacent residential development. The RWQCB has previously indicated that it is reluctant to permit filling in of a prior mitigation site and will mandate a high ratio as part of permitting (previously they have cited a 10:1 ratio).

Phase 1 will require permits from USACE, CDFW, and RWQCB and consultation with USFWS regarding potential habitat for listed federal species. b. Phase 2 does not cross any waters or wetlands, but may affect areas considered upland habitat for listed federal or state species within proximity to Old Alameda Creek. In addition, if any stormwater infrastructure requires encroachment into jurisdictional areas of Old Alameda Creek, that project element could trigger permitting from USACE, CDFW and/or RWQCB.
c. Phase 3 will affect the remainder of Basin 2C, Line M and the “New Basin.” Agencies are likely to demand that the effects of Basin 2C and Line M should not be split into two permits.

City Council/RSA Agenda 137 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 7 of 17 d. Phase 4 will affect Old Alameda Creek and the Alameda Creek Flood Channel along with adjacent riparian and upland habitat.

2. Hazardous Materials
The results of the Phase I ESA indicated that there have been a number of historic uses in the vicinity of the Quarry Lakes Parkway project, many of which likely resulted or have resulted in remnant impacts to soil and groundwater within the proposed construction corridor. Historic uses in the project vicinity included agricultural crops, rural farms/ranches, steel manufacturing at the Pacific States Steel Corporation (PSSC) property, Union City Corp Yard, and rural transportation and rail corridors.

Significant remediation was conducted under oversight of the Department of Toxics Substance Control (DTSC) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) at the former PSSC property. Remediation included creating a deed restricted area referred to as the Waste Containment Area (WCA) where contaminated debris from the PSSC facility cleanup was allowed to be managed in place adjacent to the proposed Quarry Lakes Parkway alignment.

Various phases of soil and groundwater testing were conducted from 2010 to 2016 which confirmed that soil and groundwater present within the Quarry Lakes Parkway project limits will require special attention and handling during construction. Chemicals of concern include petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, aerially deposited lead, chlorinated pesticides, and various waste products including metal slag.

Phase II ESA studies were conducted and have also documented that existing structures on farm lands which are to be redeveloped contain hazardous building materials including lead-based paint, and given the age of the structures may also contain asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Soils in the vicinity of the farm areas also were shown to contain elevated concentrations of agricultural and pest management chemicals.

The existing chemical data from studies and remedial activities conducted by others, coupled with the data collected during the various Phase II ESA’s represent sufficient data for the development of a Hazardous Materials Report for the areas within Phases 1-4 of the Quarry Lakes Parkway corridor.

The Hazardous Materials Report will inform the design team regarding:
a. The areas of potential hazardous materials/wastes and potential contaminated materials/wastes within the contraction area,
b. The regulatory interaction which is required with the DTSC given the proximity to the known and regulated PSSC’s WCA and the work areas in the general vicinity where slag and other waste materials have been observed outside of the WCA, c. Interaction with Alameda County Water District (ACWD) and the RWQCB regarding construction dewatering water management and construction practices in proximity to the top of the Newark Aquifer, and

Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 8 of 17 d. Best management practices to be implemented during construction to minimize the potential exposure to construction workers, the general public, and the environment due to elevated concentrations of certain chemicals of concern within the proposed transportation corridor.

F. DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER ISSUES

1. Floodplains
The QLP alignment crosses the Alameda Flood Control Channel and Line M Channel, which are identified within the 100-year flood boundary. The Line M Channel bed and sides are mainly unlined with earthen embankments. According to the FEMA FIS, the principal flooding problem in the vicinity of the project site is caused by sheet flow and interior drainage. The sheet flooding events could occur very frequently. The flooding along the Line M Channel is likely caused by the existing undersized channel and the channel has two 90-degree bends near the City’s corporation yard. The project is within Zone X (above the base flood) and Zone AH (shallow flooding).

2. Drainage design
Drainage design criteria, if not available with the City, will be taken from the Alameda County Hydrology and Hydraulics Manual (ACHHM), Alameda Flood Control and Water Conservation District (AFC&WCD) 2016 and the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM). This project is part of the Alameda Creek watershed. The drainage design will adhere to the Alameda County Water District’s requirement of minimum 5 feet of “no disturb zone” from the Newark Aquifer within the project area.

3. Line M Channel
Phase 1 of the QLP Project alignment will cross a section of the Line M Channel. The Line M channel is subject to flooding issues. We propose addressing the crossing with a Reinforced Box Culvert (RCB). A diversion structure and pipe would bypass some of the flows from the Line M Channel and discharge the flows to Old Alameda Creek. The Old Alameda Creek ultimately outfalls into Alameda Creek Flood Control Channel (ACFCC). We propose some improvements to the existing Line M channel next to the City’s maintenance yard to contain the remaining flow in the channel. The diversion pipe from the Line M Channel will go through the depressed section of the Phase 3 alignment and cross the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and BART tracks. The channel ultimately drains to Old Almeda Creek.

4. Hydromodification
Projects that create or replace 1 acre or more of impervious area and are in areas susceptible to hydromodification impacts should include hydromodification mitigation measures. The ACCWP’s Hydromodification Susceptibility Map Application has determined the project is within a white area that drains to an earthen channel. Therefore, the Project is required to consider hydromodification impacts or propose hydromodification management measures. Bioretention areas, underground treatment areas proposed for stormwater treatment will provide hydromodification management.

City Council/RSA Agenda 139 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 9 of 17

5. Stormwater
The Stormwater Management Plan for the Project would characterize the water resources (e.g., surface water, stormwater, and groundwater) within the Project area, assess the potential environmental consequences to these water resources from the proposed improvements, and discuss measures designed to avoid or minimize these impacts.

A discussion of the measures to comply with the CGP, including a risk level determination and a description of the BMPs proposed for the Project, would be included in the plan.

Runoff from the roadway will be collected through the City’s storm drain systems at various locations and then discharged into the Line M Channel on the east side, ACFCC on the west side of the Project site ultimately discharges into San Francisco Bay. The following are the general standards will be used for this project:
• A 10-year recurrence interval storm event will be used for the pipes and for the inlet capacity calculations. The minimum pipe size for the drainage mains is 15 inches (in.) reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and 12 in. RCP for drainage laterals. The runoff would be intercepted by an appropriately sized drainage structure and piped to the nearest storm drain in the street.
• Concrete backfill will be proposed where minimum cover is not available. The maximum spacing between the manholes will be 300 feet. Manholes will be placed at locations where pipe material changes, where two or more pipes connect, where the pipes sizes change, or where pipes are at sharp angles (greater than 10 degrees). • Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program’s (ACCWP) C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance Handbook will be used to design the biofiltration swales, bioretention swales, and underground infiltration systems.
• Caltrans standard structures such as slotted drains, clean-outs, and headwalls will be used.

6. Stormwater Treatment
The QLP project adds a significant amount of new impervious area. The design team would explore solutions to achieve the maximum extent practicable and cost-effective stormwater treatment for this project.

We understand that stormwater treatment can be considered off-site in the same watershed which may have more available right-of-way and have more critical water quality goals such as industrial areas. City projects that create and/or replace 10,000 ft² (0.23 acres) or more of impervious area are required to implement post-construction stormwater controls per the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (MRP, Order R2-2015-0049). Stormwater treatment measures that are applicable to the project include:
• Bioretention Area (swale)/Rain Garden
• Bioretention basin/Underground infiltration system
• Flow-Through Planter Boxes
City Council/RSA Agenda 140 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 10 of 17 • Tree Well Filters
• Pervious Paving/Sidewalks
• Sidewalks with galleries underground
• Turf blocks and permeable joint pavers

7. Stormwater detention basins
The EWC design included outdated infiltration basin concepts. To address the stormwater treatment requirements of the project, the team will explore the use of underground infiltration galleries to maximize land use.

Phase 3 of the QLP Project will impact an existing detention basin known as “New Basin.” To mitigate this impact, we propose a new underground detention system to be located on the west side of the BART tracks. This new detention system can be installed with plastic, metal pipe, or concrete pipes so that the area can be used for community park space.

8. Drainage coordination between segments
To keep the depressed roadway in Phases 3 and 4 dry, groundwater, runoff and bypass flows will be discharged into Phase 2 detention basins. The original design of the EWC called for a detention basin in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of QLP and Alvarado-Niles Road. Upon review, the size and location can be redesigned for cost and schedule savings. The team proposes placing pumps in vaults in the proposed medians where they are at least 10 feet wide. The vault would be flush with the median and accessed by a hatch. The median in the area would have a mountable curb for maintenance vehicles. Electrical equipment would be located in a prefab Motor Control Center (MCC) building at the top of the embankment. The slab foundation could span an underground vault for water storage as deemed appropriate. A detention system could be built under the MCC building. This strategy was implemented for the Paseo Padre Parkway grade separation in Fremont. Although electrical and mechanical equipment would not be co-located, the strategy reduces excavation for a large pump building, simplifies maintenance access, adds space for green infrastructure, and reduces construction duration and cost. Most importantly, it keeps electrical equipment away from potential flooding in the roadway.

G. GEOMETRY AND DESIGN ISSUES

1. Phases 1 and 2
For Phase 1 and 2 it is critical to develop the appropriate cross sections as well as set the foundation for the horizontal and vertical profiles for all four phases. The grading for Phase 1 and 2 is generally straightforward and stays close to the existing ground except for filling in of some drainage and detention features. Phase 1 will need to consider impacts to the Union City Corporation Yard and the Drigon Dog Park. Phase 2 will need to coordinate with the Gateway Site Developer (City Ventures) to allow for an intentional transition and appropriate setback for housing from the roadway.

City Council/RSA Agenda 141 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 11 of 17 • Typical Cross-Section. The cross-section of QLP will need to be closely analyzed to meet the needs of current and future users through complete streets design. Phasing may also be considered. It is critical to stay within the existing study limits as defined in the EWC EIR so the project does not need to reopen the CEQA process due to increased impacts.
• Vertical Profile. The vertical profile for Phase 1 and 2 stays close to the existing ground but will need to consider implications and study what that will do for Phases 3 and 4 as they go beneath the existing BART and UPRR tracks. The vertical profile will be controlled by the rail lines as discussed in more detail below and above the Newark Aquifer.
• Gateway Site Development. Coordination with the Gateway Site is important as QLP will carry the needed mainline utilities to serve the development. The project cross section may also be affected depending upon the residential unit placement and the product type that is planned to be constructed. The QLP project will likely be constructed before the development so coordination and confirmed assumptions will need to be agreed upon before utility infrastructure design is complete. • City Corporation Yard & Drigon Dog Park. The realignment of 7th Street as a part of Phase 1 will allow for a new parking area that will serve Drigon Dog Park as well as the City Corporation Yard. The realignment will also need to be closely coordinated in design and construction with the Corporation Yard uses as transit and maintenance vehicles are stored and maintained there. Providing infrastructure for the planned conversion to an electric fleet should also be considered.

2. Phases 3 and 4
For Phases 3 and 4 roadway concepts, the railroad permanent and temporary designs should be developed to a conceptual level at this early stage, along with the roadway in Phases 1 and 2. This will require structures advance planning studies, railroad shoofly designs and conceptual construction staging to ensure that high risk items are understood in early development to avoid costly impacts to utilities, right of way and hazardous materials. The design must consider the constraints of BART, UPRR and AMTRAK revenue service operations and future ACE commuter rail operations as well as other multi-modal operations.

When developing the roadway plan and profile, the four main components of the rail design to consider are:
• Track design permanent alignment. Track design requires close coordination with several engineering disciplines including roadway, structures, drainage, and systems such as traction power, train control, and communications.

BART’s alignment is constrained by Union City Station outboard platform at the north end. The existing tracks are on a tangent alignment centered in the BART ROW. Maintaining the existing alignment is the most efficient design as it will keep City Council/RSA Agenda 142 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 12 of 17 existing features in tack such as traction power, train control, communication which are costly to relocate and can cause significant construction delays due to testing and commissioning requirements. One of the first orders of work should be to conduct surveys of the existing facilities early in design to verify alignments, profiles and utilities. In addition, early confirmation of BART’s design criteria requirements is critical such as minimum 14’ vertical clearance between bridge soffit and roadway surface which directly impacts roadway design.

There are 2 UPRR corridors to consider: Niles Subdivision in Phase 3 and Oakland Subdivision adjacent BART ROW in Segment 4. The Niles Subdivision carries both freight and passenger rail (AMTRAK Capitol Corridor) and is constrained at the north end with an existing at-grade crossing at Decoto Road. Maintaining the existing alignment is the most efficient design as it will keep existing features in tack such as signal houses and positive train control (PTC) which are costly to relocate and can cause significant construction delays if not addressed early in design. In addition, early confirmation of UPRR’s design criteria requirements is critical such as 17’-6” vertical clearance between bridge soffit and roadway surface which directly impacts roadway design.
• Track design temporary alignment (shoofly). One of the primary challenges is to prepare construction phasing plans to minimize the duration of the cutovers from existing tracks to shoofly tracks and vice-versa. The cutovers are approximately 800 feet long at each end and will require the preparation of subgrade along with the installation of sub-ballast and bottom ballast as close as possible to the existing tracks to minimize the construction duration during the cutovers. Each track cutover must be performed during the same operational shutdown window. Minimizing the amount of construction activity required during this window is imperative.

BART & UPRR (Oakland Subdivision) - Impacts to BART’s operations must be minimized. The BART cutovers need to include traction power and systems in the cutovers along with testing and startup before trains can run on the shoofly tracks. A proposal to construct a BART 2-track shoofly to the east of the existing BART tracks has several advantages:
▪ Early relocation of track power and systems can be completed along with required testing without disruption to BART operations.
▪ Shoofly construction will not impact existing BART operations. ▪ Shoofly design minimizes impacts to hazardous materials identified in the corridor.
▪ Once BART shoofly is not required, the same track embankment can be used to construct UPRR Shoofly.
▪ The shoofly embankment can be repurposed for a future ACE corridor.

UPRR (Niles Subdivision) – Impacts to AMTRAK operations must be minimized.

The track cutovers need to include Positive Train Control (PTC) and signaling in the City Council/RSA Agenda 143 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 13 of 17 cutover design. A proposal to construct a 1-track shoofly to the west of the existing track has several advantages:
▪ The existing track is on a large radius and the shoofly can be designed for required 79 mph on a westerly alignment.
▪ The existing signal houses do not require relocation. ▪ Shoofly design minimizes impacts to hazardous materials identified in the corridor.
• Permanent bridge structures supporting tracks.

Structures: The structures over the roadway drive both the rail and roadway vertical alignments. There are two viable approaches to consider that will reduce roadway excavation. One is the use of a through girder type superstructure (concrete or steel) with the potential to eliminate a center pier. While BART may be amenable to this option, this is not UPRR’s preferred type of superstructure. The other is to use precast girders with composite deck (concrete). This will require center pier and has a shallow superstructure which will reduce roadway excavation. This second option is a typical UPRR structure type.

Foundations: Knowing the areas geotechnical requirements, deep foundations will be required for the RR structures. CIDH piles have the advantage of allowing for “topdown” construction and reducing shoring costs and construction durations.

3. Retaining Walls
Retaining walls will be one of the major cost items. However, if designed correctly, they can also result in significant cost and schedule savings. The retaining wall concept design in all four segments will be addressed early to maximize cost and schedule savings. The critical walls identified to date are:
• Phase 3 – retaining wall along north side of new roadway between Line M Channel and proposed roadway
• Phase 3 – perimeter retaining walls around entire depressed roadway section • Phase 4 – perimeter retaining walls around entire depressed roadway section In lieu of a cement deep soil mixing (CDSM) wall and separate retaining wall system, we propose integrating a cast-in-place (CIP) retaining wall with a CDSM wall system. This single-wall system could be placed at the top of embankments and would provide a “top down” construction method for excavating the depressed roadway. The advantages of this system are:
• As the method is the shoring system, it eliminates the need for other shoring, thereby reducing construction schedule.
• It provides a water barrier system, important where groundwater is high, thereby providing for a significantly less expensive dry excavation. • A CIP facing can be placed on the wall to integrate corridor-wide aesthetics.

City Council/RSA Agenda 144 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 14 of 17 • When combined with steel beams, the structural wall is only 3 ft wide. The smaller footprint allows for more flexibility for landscaping, green infrastructure, and utilities.

H. GEOTECHNICAL AND RELATED ISSUES

1. Soil Borings
Exploratory soil borings are required for pavement design (R-value testing), structural foundation design of the planned box culvert and bank stability/fill settlements evaluation. The proposed geotechnical investigation should include borings for pavement design and permeability/infiltration potential of the sand/gravel layer below the upper clay. This may include sampling of the sand/gravel, gradation distribution analysis tests, and laboratory permeability tests or field tests. It is our understanding that the intended “drainage layer” is the sand/gravel below the upper clay.

For Phase 1, there were limited existing boring data from the previous EWC study. It is anticipated the native soil will be generally stiff to very stiff clays through about Elev. 10 ft. overlying sand and gravel deposits. The existing grade and roadway finished grade (FG) is approximately Elev. 49 ft.

For Phase 2, the previous investigation (EWC Segment B, 2010/2011) indicated that the upper 15 to 20 ft native soils may consist primarily of fine-grained clays and silts. Below that, the borings encountered silty sand and gravel. Groundwater was encountered at approx. 25 ft depth (Elev. ~25 ft) in 2020. Minimal new embankment is anticipated for Phase 2. It appears that the main task for design is roadway pavement and drainage design for the planned outfall structure and bioretention basins.

2. Groundwater
In Phase 1, the groundwater level may be at 20 - 25 ft depth (approximate Elev. 29 to 24 ft.) according to USGS geologic data and ACWD monitoring well data. For the design for the previous EWC project (cut for Segment C, 2011), groundwater was assumed at Elev. 30 ft for long term design. We recommend site-specific soil borings to verify the groundwater level to inform the current design.

In Phase 2, groundwater was encountered at approximately 25 ft. depth (Elev. ~25 ft) in 2020. Minimal new embankment is anticipated for Phase 2. It appears that the main task for design is roadway pavement and drainage design for the planned outfall structure and bioretention basins.

I. ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES

1. Environmental Clearance
Environmental clearance for the East-West Connector (EWC) was accomplished with an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in 2009. By keeping the QLP alignment within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) cleared by the EIR, other differences between the former EWC can be documented with an addendum to the EIR. Changes to the roadway City Council/RSA Agenda 145 Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Preliminary Design Report (Proposal-level) – Quarry Lakes Parkway Page 15 of 17 alignment outside the APE would necessitate a Supplemental EIR, which would require recirculation of the document and open it to legal action.

2. Right of Way
The City or other public entities own the majority of the right of way that will be required to construct the project. A right of way needs exhibit will be prepared during the final design phase to understand impacts and start the right of way or easement acquisition process.

3. Agreements and Other Coordination
The project is under the purview of several public entities and will require coordination and approvals and/or agreements. Coordination with private entities will also be critical for project development such as the Gateway Site Developer (assumed to be City Ventures) to understand utility needs so the required infrastructure can be built with Phase 2. Public and private entities include:
• City of Union City
• Union City Transit
• Gateway Residential Developer (City Ventures)
• Caltrans
• PG&E
• AT&T
• Comcast
• City of Fremont
• Alameda CTC
• Union Sanitary District
• Alameda County Water District
• Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District • SF Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board
• East Bay Regional Park District
• Bay Area Rapid Transit District
• Union Pacific Railroad
• Pacific States Steel Corporation
J. REPORT SUBMITTALS

• Landscape Concept Report
• Hydrology Report
• Hydromodification Report
• Water Quality Report

• Materials / Geotechnical Report
• Hazardous Materials Report

2. New Reports
In addition to updating existing reports, new reports will include:
• Utility Company Requirement Report
• Design Deviation / Exception Report

• Others, TBD
V. CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS & SCHEDULE
The start of construction is anticipated in late 2023 and construction completion by 2025 for Phases 1 and 2. The schedule for the remaining phases has not yet been determined. An approved construction staging plan is needed before a more detailed construction schedule can be developed. Construction staging is typically addressed at the PS&E design phase. Due to the complexity of this project, staging issues, constraints, and approaches will be considered at all design phases to facilitate a constructable design.

VI. COST ANALYSIS
A. ESTMATED COST
In the QLP Project Delivery Plan, project costs were estimated using the existing EWC project plans and other pertinent documents but did not consider new features or elements specific to QLP. Following the preliminary design process, a 30% level Engineer’s Estimate will be prepared as part of the 30% plans. This section will be filled out with more detail as design decisions are reached.

B. POTENTIAL COST INCREASES
Design development and estimated costs have yet to be determined. The following are two examples of challenges may pose risks to the project budget. This list will expand as we enter the design phase of the project and costs associated with these risks will be applied.

1. Permit Requirements
Resource agency permit requirements have changed over time and the availability of offsite mitigation options is limited. If mitigation banks are not available, the project may be required to complete mitigation via an offsite improvement or restoration project.

2. Railroad Coordination Requirements
Coordination and approvals with BART and UPRR will be required. A shoofly option to keep service operational during QLP construction will require reduced speeds due to the proximity to the Station Area. If speed reductions are not allowed there is a potential for upstream and downstream track re-construction.

Concept 1: Not possible
• Capacity constraints
Concept 2: ACE-Cap Corridor connection at
Ardenwood
• Connects to existing Express Bus service
• Dependent on South Bay Connect
• Ridership potential tied to Dumbarton service
Concept 3: ACE-BART connection at Union City
• Least impact on system operations
• Lowest infrastructure needs
• Compatible with long-term service concepts –
all current Dumbarton options serve UC BART
• Ridership potential: north/south on BART and
potential future Dumbarton connection
• Connection to existing multi-modal station
(BART/bus) and TOD (existing and planned)
